On the other hand, she could not tell Percy of the insult that had been put upon her. because he would undoubtedly sacrifice everything to inllicl summary punish ment upon the blackmailer. She Had therefore decided to pay the latter a sum n nmno. irii inn i.im in iinilorsomil that no more would be forthcoming for a month; and in the course of that month the Intended to turn all her energies to the task of clearing Percy, by tome means or other, of the old charge which 10 hampered and obstructed him. She would then be free to deal with the black mailer at her leisure, and she intended to punish him to the full extent of the law. Dut tho revelation of the blackmailer' identity changed the whole aspect of the case. To Pauline it had been totally un expected; and yet iu looking back she could funcy that she had known him in tuitively from the first Ho that as it might, it was a triumph more complete than the hud ever dared to anticipate. Dupeo was the umn who had murdered her brother Jerrold. he (as she believed) was the man who had cast a neurly fatal shadow over the career of Percy; and he, again, delivered himself, bound hand and foot, into her ower by perpetrating upon her tho crime of blackmail. She had him securely, for though he had given a false name the Judge would be able to Identity him as the recipient of the check, .and the case against him would thus be proved. He would bo ar rested on that charge, and then it would go hard, but the whole truth should come out. She regarded Percy as being as good as free, and was strongly inielled to go and tell him the story at once; but, on second thought, she decided to wuit until tho probability had been mndo a certainty, and then bring him news in which there should bo no element of con jecture. Sho wished, moreover, to en joy the pleasure of managing the affair herself, without either her husband's or her brother's help. Having determined in her own mind her plan of proceedings, she waited until her husband had stalled on his daily trip to his olllce, and then she put on her cloak and bonnet und went out herself. It wan a line, clear forenoon. It was not the first time ehe had visited police headquarters, and she knew the wuy thither.

She had just put the question to the ergeant when the insHci.or came out, In hat and overcoat Ho recognized her Immediately, and lifted his hut with a uuile. "You are going out," she said. "When can I see you?" "I am not going out," was his reply '1 am going to ask you to come into my Dfllce and have u talk.

"It is you who should have newt for me," she returned, smiling "I'm sure you have had time to ttnd out a dozen uch mysteries as the one I asked you about." The Inspector wore an amused look. 'When you want to bamlioozle an old hand like 1110," he said, "you must lirst of all learn locotniuand your face You must not look happy if you e.oct me to believe that you are miserable.

Poor old ; things! you had to put up with sucn a ioi 01 trials we escape. Nowadays a woman with superfluous hair oos onlv to muke two or three or four visits to an electrical physician. Indeed, the fam ily physician often undertakes the removal, and at each visit he removes some half dozen of the object iouable eapillaceous adornnwuts by the aid of bis electric needle. Oue tiny puncture at tho root of each hair, one quick, tittle shock from the battery, and good-by hair forever and aye. It is very unwise to have more than six or seven hairs removed at once. It iKK-oiue then a case 01 mora baste less kii1, for the oieration is apt to produce a sora which will prevent any fur ther procedure until that is healed, but a few may be removed at a time say, twice a week without any Inconvenience. rur need any jierson fear any after effects what ever from this cause if done carefully a few at a time. Another discovery of modern study of physical development is that there is 110 need uf allowing niicu unsightly disfigurements as moles to continue iigion the human face or body, although persons rarely go to the trouble of huving auy such thing removed from the body unless on the arms or neck. Physicians touch the surface of a mole very lightly with a pencil or sharp pointed Mick dipped iu fuming nitric acid. When in the embryo state it requires no more than two applications to entirely eradicate the deface ment, aud it is very unwise to await the cer tain growth of the excrescence before hav.ug it treated. It is, pcrbaiw, as well not to give here the strength of the acid necessary to perform the operation, for it is a dangerous thing to ti-iflo with and should bo left entirely to the use of physicians or surgeons, A single drop too much at a time will not only eat away tho mole, but a very nice little round hole 111 the skin all about the place where it used to be. Women must remember that they forbid children to play with fire. Certain small round brown moles are con sidered a murk of beauty, and therefore unless they are as thick as freckles, which they resemble, it is not worth while to tanqier with them. Especially should one appear 011 the back of the neck, it should 1 treasured like a ruby, for what says the old rhyme we learned with our Mother Goose? Holes to the neck, money hy the peck. It is the clear, white, watery kind of mole from which hairs grow that is so ugly such as afflicted Liszt, the onqioser, who was known by his moles, his waxen death mask showing them plainly. There is a kind of white mole or hard pimple which grows about the eye and eyelids which is oue of the most disfiguring things seen on a face. Some how one never likes to look directly at a per son who is so afflicted and has not gout at once about their removal. They grow with astonishing rapidity and sometimes come iu little groups, which as they grow are suddenly discovered to have run together and made one large one. Getting rid of those is such an easy matter that there is no excuse for permitting them to remain. One visit to a surgeon or oculist, one touch of bis sharp scalpel and the cause, a little hard, round, white lump, rolls out, and the little cut in the skin soon heals. Sometimes the puncture of the skin with a needlo is ull that is necessary, but usually th foreign substance is imbedded so deep tl one fears to fool around the eye with a sha pointed needle. There is uo lotion or was or ointnicut which has the slightest effect on these sort of things. Freckles are looked at In a very different light today than they were formerly. They are regarded as a beauty, and women go so far as to have them painted on in certain beautifying emporiums, where the art of whitewashing bleaching, caleiininiug and painting is curried to a remarkable degree of perfection, though it must be confessed the result of their experiments and researches is art, very evident art, and not nature at all, nor even the semblance of it There are hundreds of preparations for re moving freckles, some of them pleasant, agreeable washes to us, but none of them truly efficacious. Freckles which come in summer time wear away when the bright, hot sunshine goes. A few days spent iudoors, iu cool, dark rooms, makes them disappear; a little attention to the diet, the abstinence from food and drink containing iron is a par tial cure. But freckles have a comely, healthy, wholesome air, and it is rather nice than otherwise not to look exactly tho same all the year round. Besides, ojieu air exercise is the fad of the day, and the woman who wraps herself all up in veils aud gloves is all out of the fashion. Brave the freckles and have a good time all summer. "S. B.

There has been a great effort niadj by some of the best tailors to re introduce the all rouud basque again, but it has not found favor. Plain clotlies, not braided, fitting closely, high sleeves to wrist are what are to be seen in the parks.

Qr DESTRUCTIVE TO HEALTH. Tarlon. Industrial Pursull. Wlilrh Iidr the IleallU of Worklii, Women. In considering the effects of industrial life upon the health of women, It would seem, at first glance, as though they would be more advantageous thau those which result from a life of pleasure, or of professional hibor, but I feur thut fact will hardly bear out such a conclusion. In the first place we can not exclude from the grand aggregation of such pursuits those employments which are of themselves dangerous of churucU.T and necessarily more or less destructive such as bleachers und straw hat inunufuctiireis, where powerful acids are used ami f unun ill haled. Women are quite extensively em ployed In these industries, and suffer keenly from irritation of tho bronchial mucous membrane; later from lung diseases, which are destined to become fatal Large num bers of women (and children as well) are em ployed in tolwcco manufactories and suffer much from the alworptiou of nicotine, a dan gerous oisDii when continuously inhaled. Women suffer keeuly from the effects of mercury, leuil and phosphorous muteriuls us:d in the manufacture of muiiy articles with which they have to do. . In the match fac tories, where women and children ure largely employed, the duntfer is suid to l soniew hut lessened recently through the substitution of red for white phosphorus. Women who work where lead is employed suffer more pro jxirtionately thun men, iu that their absorb tive powers are greater, and their (lowers ol resistance less, than those of men.
