 Fern, the first soprano, Q dainty creature with clear blue-gray eyes and auburn hair of the Smoulder. ing variety, uses the shade called Naturelle for daytime because it gives her fair skin a wholesome, shcll-pink glow. In the evening, to deepen It's tone and "glamorize' IL, she uses first q delicate film Of the Tojours Moi Rachel Ponce, then a finishing layer of Naturelle. The ef- feet is breathtakingly smooth and velvety.
 Connie, who sings alto in the trio, is delectable golden blonde-with dephinium blue eyes and a gar- denia skin. For daytime she achieves 2 creamy pallor with ToujoIrs Moi face powder in the Rachel shade. At night she inten- sifies the effect by carefully mixing one part Of the Ochre shade to two parts Rachel. The result Is a gol- den haired, fairy tale princess with a complexion of aiabaster lumin- osity.
 Frances, the second soprano and leader Of the trio, is the brunette of the unit-and sine Gramatizes her lustrous crows wing hair and flashing dark eyes by using Tou- jours Moi face powder in the Ochre shade during the daytime and then going frankly gypsy in the evenings with the deep- toned Sportan to give taAp Qtrts1 a FtoiS vfVfdnPRg

This was the consensus expressed

added that home seekers are

unparalleled supply of funds avail

The presidents, representing near

that they did not foresee any

of 1.8 per cent and amounted to
69.6 per cent of total assets and that
in the face of a very real business
depression last year. This portends
an ever increasing earning capacity
for our associations.
THE compiled statistics for 1898
indicate clearly that the savings,
building and loan associations con-
tinued general upward trend,
which first became evident during
1887. The vigor with which some
curves swept upward through the
IL months of 1888 shows a decided
and accelerating improvement in
the complete national picture. Fur
ther, there is no evidence on the
basis of the statistics available at
this time that this strength Is
diminishing during 1885,"
