WOMAN'S In a volume dealing with the his- | ®ory of dress jn the nineteenth cen- | tury, published in Germany a g years ago, one of the most inter ng of the numerous cMs reproduced from old perfodicals is a sketeh of a &roup of woman skaters made twen- ty-five years ago. One wonders Whether ~ these wide, long-skirted Jadies can really be skating. and then whether fashions have really <hanged o enormously in a quarter of . w century s this sketch would indi- <cate. Could any of us® have spent ©ur girlhoods against a background of costumes such as these that some ow seem more remote than th robes of Grecian and Roman won 2.000 years ago? But they are daint little ladies, these skaters who keep thelr balance in this picture of 1898, #nd somehow their coiled and puffed hair seemed to stay in place though ihe crowns of their hats made no iretense at really crowning their leads and their wide long skirts ap- rently didn’t capsize in the wind 1l they managed to keep their cars warm with their funny little “nee ces” and their hands warm insid their muffs not much bigger than baking-powder tins What a change in skating ery since then!

One of the most interesting things | #bout the skating costume of the girl of 1923 is that it is often made quite vithout any fur, and the sirl who sates seldom makes use of neck- ece or muff « -ven though s they say, m urning to ishion, IFur s a movable and not un encumbrance to carry.

Don't flour the roast at all. Sprinkle more mental evergreens of pyramidal habit. The Hinoki cypress is hardy in shel- -tered positions north to New Eng- land. Tt is capable of attaining a height cf 100 feet and more, with horizontal branches and more or less, pendulous branchlets supporting the foliage.in a flat frond-like arrangement. The leaves are thickish, bright green and ehining above, with whitish lines be- neath. The cones are brown, about a haif inch in diameter, globose. The tree illustrated is one of two that are growing about 100 yards northeast of the old Agricuitural building. Tt is Jabeled. The writer is not aware of any others in the Dis. trict. The close resemblance between these trees and- the arbor vitae may be noted. though the relation is much closer Wit the bald cypress than with the arbor vitae. The picturesque Monterey cypresses of the California astareoko are closely related to the Hinoki cypresses of Monterey, trees of a grotesque beautyqwhich many of us have seen and all have seen pic- tured, and of which Anna Comstock derelicts adrift on time's wide sea, daunted exiles from an age pristine!

Sheep of a very rare breed have been sold for as much as five or six thousand dollars. ut men of common stock, in plices where men are plenty and cheap (as for example in Central Africa), ‘may be purchased for -the price of a rusty musket or a plece of cotton cloth. According to this principle, we must admit that the comparative value 8f a man and a sheep is a very uncertain matter, and that there are times when the dumb ani- mal is much the more valuable of the two. Of course, you perceive that this view, carried ‘out. to its logical con- clusion, means slavery: and you call my attention:to the fact that slavery has been abolished by common con- sent of the civilized world. Yes, thank God, that is true. We have done away with the logical concluslo; But have we gotten- rid entirely of the premise on which 4t rested?

Now I have arranged o all who wish may get them. And 1 hope to bring to millions what they "brought to me. The magie of clay. Many years ago French experts taught me to use clay. Then clays were crude and_muddy, as many clays are still. But I was w plain girl. and’ even those crude clays made me the rage of New York. SBince then those experts have perfected clay, They have made it White~ refined and dainty. ‘They have added factors which bring multiplied results, The clay §_now use Is ten times better than the old-type clays, And my baby complexioa~at my age, shows what it means to women. : A pity to omit it | "1 pity any girl or woman who does not use seme clay. No girl can | look her best without it, no woman can keep her youth. Clay purges the skin of all that clogs it—the causes of all sallow- nees, blackheads and blemishes. It keeps dead skin removed, 1t hrings the blood to the skin to nourish and revive it. The result is that rosy afterglow which so| amazes and delights. Many women in 30 miutes seem to drop ten years. o - It firms® the ekin, combats all linag and Wwrinkles, reduces en- larged pores. Thus it wards off age. My girlish beauty shows what it can do.
