She had gone to bed and got up again three times, but could not sleep—she did | not know why. She sat at the open | window in her nightgown, looking | out at the street. She felt bored, de- | pregsed, vexed: she even felt inclined to cry, and again she did not know | why. | A little behind her the druggist, her husband, lay curled uvp against the wall, snoring contentedly.

The hair on the left side is also hrushed smooth against the head. secured with a similar clasp curled just like the right side.

One of the outstanding features in WHY WE DO A clever woman of my acquaintance was asked to speak to a group of newsboys in New York. She failed to catch their interest until she men- tioned Jesse James and told them that she was born and brought up in the town where the notorious outlaw was killed. They listened to every word she spoke. There is something fas- cinating about a had man. He appeals to our theatrical nature and thrills the “irrepressible juvenility"” of our poorly integrated respectability. Quite desperado, the gambler, the dare-devil, the man who takes terrible chances with his life and fortune. Plays and stories featuringz the e pinits of a dashing. daring. devil-ma care fellow with no scruples of any sort have almost a universal appeal. We are informed that on Broadway this season “stage crook takes place | of_hero in white collar.” We are fascinated by the bad man | because he appears to be strong and courageous. And these qualities have always baen admired. We even admire them in an enemy we fear. Thrilling exhibitions of strength and courage stimulate and soothe our jaded nerves. ’ BEAUTY CHAT | Hand Lotions. T you want really beautiful hands, soft looking and smooth, vou must find a proper sort of soap, a way of keeping the washing water soft and | some quick-drying lotion to keep the | skin smooth and soft and white. If you can afford it, T would suggest that vou always use a cold-cream soap for {the face and hands. It will soften hard water, it will not take oil from the skin and it is very cleansing and | delightful to use. If vou can't, buy castile soap in bars weighing one or two pounds each, slice-away and put in a cuphoard so they will dry thor- | oughly. This is practically as good 15 the more expensive cold-cream soap, hough it hasn't quite its luxurious eeling. e A most excellent lotion to bleach the skin, to keep it soft and to guard against chapping is a mixture of one- third glycerin (the best you can buy), | one-third rosewater and one.third lemon or cucumber juice. Any of the almond and honey lotions are good. There are several on the market. Another excellent idea is to keep almond meal or almond powder in the bathroom cuphoard, sprinkle a little over the wet hands, rub this that are broad and full, but | and | un- | consciously we sympathize with the | LEEDS |the season’s hobbed coiffures s the | swirl effect. This may be used all {around the head or just at the back, as in the style I am describing. The hair is brushed outward from a point at the top of the crown. It is cut long over the brow, so that it may descend to the evebrows in a long, wavy bang. The black hair is divided into an upper and lower layer, the !latter being shingled, while the for- mer is left long enough to marcel.
