New Beauty Helps.
Beauty aids grow more and more
alluring. Perfumes, powders, sachets
and toilet articles of every description
are now put up in boxes and packets
that cannot fail to appeal to every wo
man. They are as dainty without as
within, and, besides this attractiveness
to the eye, they are really excellent
cosmetics if one chooses the best
For improving the texture of the lips
there is a new salve which comes in a
tiny gilt case like a bridge pencil. The
top is easily removed, and inside is a
bit of soft and soothing paste, "which
can be applied to the lips. The salve
pencil can be had in either white or
pink. In winter many women use this
healing cosmetic, but they do not like
to heighten the natural color of the
lips, so they choose the white. The
pink, however, is very delicate in col
oring and when cleverly applied can
not be detected. By studying the
curves of the lips it is easy to strength
en them ever so little, but effectively,
with the pink lip stick."
A liquid coloring which does not rub
off and which imparts the most deli
riously rosy tint imaginable has been
imported by one beauty specialist who
discovered it when she was traveling
In Vienna. The cosmetic is expensive,
but it lasts a long time, and when ap
plied it is perfectly natural in appear
ance. The color does not rub off on
the handkerchief, and women who have
used it in the past declare that nothing
equal to it has been on the market.
Among the dressing table novelties
this season is a round silver receptacle
made to hold a glass bowl for powder
The silver part is quite large at the
bottom and curves In toward the top.
The bowl is cut crystal and has no
cover. It holds, however, besides quan
tities of delicately perfumed toilet pow
der, a new puff made of swansdown or
eider with a long silver handle. This
is much easier to manage th:in the ordi
nary powder puff, and. besides, it is
much more attractive.
Triple mirrors of silver are anothet
dressing table fad. They are found iu
two shapes, oval and oblong. The cen
ter one is supplied with a silver rliuin.
by which it can be hung ou the wall.
There are silver feet also to support
the three sections when the mirror
stands on the dressing table.
Perfumes are fascinating in their
delicacy of odor and their reminiscent
fragrance of the choicest flowers.
There is one variety which suggests
all the beauties of a hothouse or the
deliciousness of an English garden by
its odor, yet It is not called by a flower
name, but by that of a gem. This per
fume is little known here, but those
who are fortunate enough to bear of It
when they are in Paris purchase ail
they can possibly , bring home with
them. Its color is dee yellow, richer
than a mellow old sherry, and its fra
grance is wonderfully lasting, while it
does not grow stale, as so many per
fumes do. and become unpleasant.
There is a new sparkling bath which
has met with great success since its
introduction a few months ago. It is
used in the bathtub and is said to be
perfectly harmless. It sparkles like
champagne, and Its effect is to soothe
tired nerves, help the muscles to re
lax and to Improve the circulation.

Phoebe and I having become engag
ed. 1 considered it the proper thing for
us to call on my aunt to receive her
congratulations. My aunt never made
calls herself and was double the age
of either of us. Besides, it was un
derstood that I was down in her will
for the principal part of her fortune.
Phoebe said that she would rather
take a whipping than go to be inspect
ed, but there was no way out of it, and
she consented.
We had not long been settled before
my aunt said to us: "There Is a pro
tege of mine, Mabel Maryweather.
whom I have brought to visit me for
the season, and I wish to see her en
gaged before her return to her coun
try home, where she seldom sees a
man and consequently has no matri
monial opportunities. Tom Singleton
has been attentive to her, and I believe
that for some time they have been on
the border of an engagement I wish
"YOU FORGET THAT WE ARB JUST EN
GAGED." to bring the affair to. a crisis as soon
as possible, for spring is not far off
When the season closes 1 go for my
annual trip southward and must send
Mabel borne.
"Now. I wish you two to help me in
a little scheme I have in my mind to
bring'Tom and Mabel together. It is
for me to get the four of you here, and
you, John. I wish to be attentive to
Mabel, while you. Miss I mean
Phoebe), devote yourself to Tom. Each
of the two incipient lovers will be
frightened for fear of the loss of the
other, and the match will be assured.
Of course they are not to know that
you two are engaged."
Both Phoebe and I received this
proposition with a frown.
"But, Mrs. Perkins." Phoebe began,
"you forget that we are just engaged,
and" ,
"Good gracious. Aunt Caroline, do
you suppose you can make a dummy
lover out of a man who has recently
become a real one?"
"Now, don't be silly," resumed my
aunt "It is because you are engaged
that I have selected you for my pur
pose. Tou both know that what at
tention you give elsewhere is simply
to please me. You understand that the
whole affair, so far as you are con
cerned. Is the same as personating
a character on the stage. The con
sequence is that there will be no jeal
ousy on your part: you are simply to
excite it in the others."
"Certainly not!" said Phoebe. "What
I was going to say was that, just hav
ing become engaged, why"
Seeing that it was necessary for me
to' help Phoebe out. I broke in.
"What Phoebe means. Aunt Caroline.
Is that, having just become engaged,
we might forget our parts and mix the
thing all up." -
Thoebe said nothing more. My aunt
looked annoyed. I must keep the
peace.
"Oh. we'll do what we can In the
premises, aunt," I said. "Won't we.
rhoebe?" . I gave Phoebe a look as
much as to say. "Leave it to me." So
she said of course anything that my
aunt wished would be cheerfully ac
ceded to by her.
Everybody being satisfied, my aunt
told us that she would expect us to
dinner on the following Wednesday,
when we would meet Miss Maryweath
er and Mr. Singleton, and the curtain
was to rise on the play.
On that first meeting my aunt as
signed me to take Miss Maryweather
in to dinner, and Singleton was chosen
to escort Phoebe. .
I was between two fires. If I did
not appear to be attracted by Miss
Maryweather I would displease my
aunt If I did I would displease
Phoebe. On one of these women
hung a fortune which 1 had been
brought up to consider my own In
time. On the other hang my life's
happiness. 1 concluded to please my
aunt If I displeased my fiancee pos
sibly the matter oouia -te made up.
In order to feel free to act naturally
I ceased to look at either my aum or
Phoebe, but gazed straight into the
eyes' of Miss Maryweitlrer. I was
quite in my element. The girl was
pretty, and attractive, and 1 confess
that, as play actors iiave it. I hegan to
feel the part. 1 talked a-blue streak
with my tongue upon ordinary topics,
meanwhile saying tender things with
my eyes. One trait in my character is
when 1 set out to do a thing to do It
for all it is worth. I" began by at
tempting to make Singleton believe he
was in danger of losing his girl and
ended with the best job of lovemakiug
in the presence of others that I have
ever accomplished.
What was going on at the table I
didn't know. My aunt's voice I seldom
heard; Phoebe's voice I did not hear
at all. Singleton was evidently keep
ing up the conversation.. -. -
What I did not know then I learned
afterward to my horror. Phoebe's eyes
were upon me all the while, her ex
pression growing every minute more
lowering. My aunt observed both
Phoebe and me. Singleton made fre-.
quent efforts to hold Phoebe's atten
tion and. failing, finally gave it up to
make random remarks to the hostess.
I held Miss Maryweather's attention
so closely that she was only partially
aware of the strained conditions exist
ing between the other three. As the
dinner proceeded Phoebe's brows con
tracted more and more; the corners of
her mouth were squared: her cheeks
were red. and her eyes flashed fire.
The worst of it was that I, ignorant of
the situation, was piling on fuel every
moment.
It must have been a great relief to
Mr. Singleton and possibly " my aunt
when the dinner was finished and we
arose from the table. I cast a glance
at Phoebe, but at the moment she had
,turned and I did not see her face. , I
saw my aunt's and noticed that it was
impassive. When we reached the
drawing room Phoebe and Singleton
took a far corner, Phoebe sitting with
her back to me. Since I had become
Interested in the work my aunt had
assigned me I continued to pursue It
for all it was worth. My aunt sug
gested that I take Miss Maryweather
to see. the plants in the conservatory,
and I did so. .We remained there some
time, and when we returned I saw my
aunt chatting with Singleton. Phoebe
was nowhere to be seen. I asked my
aunt what had become' of her.
"She has gone home," was the-reply.
"Gone home?"
"Yes. She said she had a headache
and telephoned for a carriage. She
told me to say to you that since yon
were so pleasantly occupied she would
not disturb you." -
I knew that a bomb had burst
which I had not heard. Miss Mary
weather said something to Singleton,
and, taking his arm, they walked away
together, leaving me with my aunt
who told me what had occurred, fin-'
ishing with the following announce
ment: "And now, John, I have something
to say to you. You know, that I have
provided for you in my will. In fact.
I have left you the principal part of
what I possess. I shall tomorrow add
a codicil that if you marry this girl to
whom you are engaged your share
is to go to Peter Hickson."
"Good gracious!"
"I mean what I say."
I was prevented from any further
response by the return of Singleton
and Miss Maryweather. Singleton
said:
"We fear that we have been the In
nocent cause of a misunderstanding.
Possibly it may tend to mend matters
if we make an announcement which
we had Intended to defer till just be
fore Miss Maryweather's return home.
More than a week ago I proposed to
her. She has Just given me a favor
able reply, a response which she says
she Intended to give from the first
She hopes our engagement will dis-
slpate any hard feeling that has arisen
this evening."
"I do hope. Mrs. Perkins," said Miss
Maryweather "that If anything has oc
lurred during the evening to displease
you you will pass It over and forget
It for my sake. You have been so
kind to me and I have been made so
happy that I can't bear to have it all
spoiled at the last moment"
My aunt's object having been accom
plished, though her plan of its accom
plishment was both unnecessary and a
failure, she was much mollified. It re
niaintd to be seen how far her change
of feeling would affect Phoebe. Fur
thermore it remained to be seen wheth
er I would be able to effect a reconcil
iation between Pboebe and myself.
Before going to sleep that night I
thought out my plan of procedure. I
was still between two fires, my aunt
and my fiancee. If I could not soften
my aunt toward Phoebe I had better
not soften Phoebe toward myself. I
resolved to appear angry toward the
latter till I could placate the former to
ward her. Miss Maryweather proved
a blessing. She knew well all that had
occurred and at once learned from my
aunt her scheme. She besieged the
good lady and at last wou her over U
a promise not to disinherit me if I
married Phoebe. So far so good. I
followed up the advantage by telling
my aunt that on no account, after what
had happened, would I consent to mar
ry Phoebe. This put the dear woman
in a position of having by her absurd
scheme torn apart a pair of lovers.
She sent for Phoebe and told her my
position. Instead of having to bend
the knee to my fiancee she sent me an
apology.
And so the matter was made np be
tween us. My aunt became very fond
of Phoebe and when we were married
gave me out of my inheritance a boose

Sweet Smelling Pillows.
With persons of sensitive nerves pil
lows of dried leaves and herbs have
been known to charm back the sleep
that no physician's formula could
bring. There is a restful quality to the
pillow filled with balsam fir needles (IT
It "be not fir twigs and'stems) which is
familiar to almost everybody. The
mere pungency of .the crushed ever
green suggests great, quiet forest
grown mountain sides and green still
ness. Less known are pillows stuffed
with dried bops, with their old world
aroma and definite soporific quality.
To a delicate elderly person who has
had a country childhood these will
bring back memories of quaint little at
tic rooms and the falling of soft sum
mer rains.
To these who like these perfumes
pillows filled with dried rose leaves,
with lavender, with dried sweet clover
spires, with the leaves of sweet fern
jr dried fronds of real brake fern, or
even a more prosaic filling, well min
gled with pure powdered orris, will
bring unspeakable relief, not only by
;helr associations, but by their own
kindly potency. But before such pil
lows are selected for presents the pref
erence of prospective recipients in the
matter of perfumes, should be ascer
tained, else the gift may be shorn of
Its magic.
Don'ts For Women.
Nine "don'ts" for clubwomen appear
in the year book of the New Jersey
Btate Federation of Women's Clubs.
They are:
Don't shop Saturday afternoons.
Don't shop after 5 p.m.
DorCi wear willow plnmes (made by
sweatshop child labor). "
Don't wear aigrets. They mean the
Destruction of mother birds.
Don't wear long hatpins. They are
dangerous to others.' -
Don't dress too elaborately for club
affairs. We want women in club work
who cannot afford to dress elaborately.
Don't be too critical in small things
or large. Remember your own mis
takes when you are doing things;
therefore be helpful.
Don't work for frills, but for solid
results.
Don't be undignified or try to get re
sults because of your sex. .
How to Rid Face of Pimples.
If your face, through neglect or other
causes, has suppurated pimples, be
sure that your excretory organs are In
perfect order and take care of your
batbs with unabated zeal. Then use
upon the pimples a salve made of five
drams of lanolin, five drams of sweet
almond oil. five drams of sulphur pre
cipitate, two and a half drams of oxide
of zinc and ten drops of extract of
violet. Open the pimple with a ster
ilized needle, one that has been dipped
In a hot boric acid solution: apply a
drop of peroxide Of hydrogen to the
sore and wipe off with a sterilized
gauze. " Afterward rub a little of the
salve on the pimple, and unless there
is some peculiar affection it will heal
directly. : '
For the common sort of pimples
which often trouble young girls and
others of nervous, excitable tendencies
and those who suffer from disturbed
circulation bicarbonate of soda, thirt'j
flve grains: glycerin, one dram,' and
spermaceti ointment, one ounce. This
should be used upon the affecfed parts
and allowed to remain fifteen minutes
then wipe most of it off.
In this .connection you should use a
rimple laxative, which your doctor
will probably prescribe for yon.
