Berlin - Those huge beer steins, so dear to the heart of German people. are no longer to play such an important part in social and po- litical gatherings. The government has issued an order prohibiting their use in halls where political meetings are held because of the damage they have done to human skulls in the numerous stein fights lately.

NANCY PAGE Are New Hats Feminine and Different? Yes.

By Florence Ia Gnnkc

The milliner was showing Lois and Nancy the new hats. Truly they seemed revolutionary and q far cry from the tight fitting felt cloches which had been so uni- versally popular n few years be- fore. It is true that the spring and summer of 1891 had pointed the way to greater variety and femlnity' in hats, but even so
 All of the hats. as the milliner pointed out, showed quite a bit of hair. The exposed forehead which had not been becoming to most women had become, happily enough. a thing of the past.
 Uusually the hats dipped over one eye the right one and then showed the left eye and much hair over the forehead and eG of the left side Of the head.
 There was one trim and triS canoe shape with its ribbon trim ming going straight back over the turned back brim and the small round crown.

 Better be good" he warned. He thrust her hack into the coliapsing chair. His taion-like fingers reached for her supple young loveliness again. Keep away from me-" Liane moaned faintly. And all at once everything went black before her. She felt herself falling
 When Liane opened her eyes the man was bending over her. She felt cold water, icy water. trickling down her neck. She put up her hand to her head. Her fin- gers came away red. Blood" she moaned faintly.
 You fool" the iron gray man was saying. From her place on the floor Liane could see him dimly. He was in the doorway looking fiercely at the man with the cats eyes. You fool. you" he repeat ed. "Makin' passes at her and scar In her to death 20 that she pass es out and bumps her head on the corner of the table," He went into the hall and called in a raucous voice, Molly"
 A fat woman in dirty apron came. She had red face with creases in 1t and her hair was done in q pancake on the top of her head.
 Molly, get me some clean rags and a pan of water" said the man with the iron gray hair. The wo- man ambied away, Lianc lay there, still half dazed, hating the fetid floor, the small of blood and the icy water on her face and shoulders.
 "I though she was goner," the man nearest her admitted. "1 thought she had passed in her checks"
 "You're a fool" said the iron gray man. The woman called Molly came waddling back with some torn strips of white cloth. and an earthenware bowl. She said not q word but watched the man as he lifted Liane to one of the sagging chairs.
 Leave me alone" the girl said bitterly. You've done enough" She shrank from his fingers. The man said roughly, Hold still. you. I'll fix this cut"
 The woman stood by regarding the tableau curiously out of her beady eyes. '
 once she put out q soiIed hand and touched Liane's petal soft dress.
 Pretty" she said wonderingly. Liane looked at her with some- thing like hope. The woman seemed stupid but not unkind. But presently she waddled away again, leaving Liane alone with the two men and the girls heart sank. She began to feel des- perateIy sick. Her head was giddy and a hot pain burned in one temple. Her teeth began to chatter as if with ague.
 "Get her q shawl" commanded the iron gray man. The man with the cats eyes went out, grum- bling. Liane closed her eyes. The room whirIcd around her.
 Now the second man was fol- lowing the first from the room.
 "We're not supposed to hurt her yet" she heard him say. She tried desperately to control her shud dering. but failed. she was grateful even for the comfort of the hateful prickling robe some one presently threw over her shoulders. She heard the woman's cackling voice and the Iron gray mans rumbled command, watch her q minute. I've got to go to the garage
 He returned to Liane, shook her by the shoulder. Mind now. no funny business!" he warned her. Molly here has n gun. The place Is watched. You stay where you are if you know whats good for you."

GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart
@I9I M NEz sIRz!cE NC.

Age often visits eyes first.
 Some women. not realizing this, bend to their daily dozen to keep slender, sit 10 their nightly facial rites for their skin, brush their hair it's quota of strokes. but let the poor old eyes alone.
 Probably a surprisingly small proportion of women as a whole ever make the most of their eyes.
 This season, especially, the eyes can be the appealing feature of the face. They always are the features gifted with magnetism. 1t Is wick ed not to cultivate them.
 Eyes that are tired cannot be bright and shining. Rest them often. That is the answer to that. Palm them several times day. Wash them night and morning with an eye cup containing q good eye lotion or boracic acid solution or mild salt solution.
 TO palm them you use the palms of your hands 10 shut out all light. As you do this, there IS some flow of electricity or what ever you want to call 1t. from your palms into your eyes.
 If you don't know how 10 palm your eycs. you don't know how 1t rests eyes. Place the bottom of the palm of one hand over each each eye. Try to "see black" as you do this. Keep your hands there for as many seconds as you can. Relax and sink comforta bly In your chair as you do so.
 When you finish, rinse them both out with your eye cup. Then palm them again. Be sure to look at yourself carefully before you palm them. And again afterward Some women of older years neet glasses and won't get them. This Is n mistaken idea of what keep' you young. For eye strain induced by lack of glasses W hen you need them can became q serious menace to general health.
 Fine lines between the eyes are the least of the bad results from eye strain.
