SHAH ARRIVES HERE FROM CHINA New Minister of Republic Will at Once Proceed to Washngton New York, April 6.—K. F. Shah, new Chinese minister to the United States, came to New York earlier than had been expected, having arrived here yesterday on the steamer Kaiser- in Auguste Victoria. He goes direct to Washington. The American minister at Peking, Paul S. Reinsch, sent word that Mr. Shah left Peking with his family on March 3, travelling by way of Si- beria, expecting to reach New York by the steamer Amerika, due April 17, and come on to Washington for the minister’'s presentation to Presi- dent Wilson. Mr. Shah will be the first minister under the new repub- He of Chind, recently recognized by the American government. Conventional Garb Adopted. A portrait and sketch of the new minister, forwarded by Mr. Reinsch, show him to be one of the new and progressive element of China. Instead been the traditional garb of Chinese ministers, Mr. Shah's picture shows he has adopted the conventional coss tume of the western world. He is shown in the usual frock coat of characteristics of the old regime. Of- ficials ‘in Washington have seen in the past the changes from the ‘ways of the east to those of the west, on the part of the Japanese, later the and now the Chinese. It will be one of the first occasions when the Chinese minister has ap- Peared in the conventional garb o the western world. Mr. Shah and his family have al- ready spent much time in this coun- try. For five years he was consul gen- | eral at New York, from 1903 to 1908. Besides his official duties at that time, Mr. Shah found time to take several special courses of study at Columbia university. His daughter, Miss Lang Shah, also accompanied him at that time, and pursued her studies in American schools, She is now an ac- complished young lady and is par- PROF.

LESSON IN THE MAXIXE. G. J. PLAGE. — ONDERFUL in her infinite variety is that will-o’- the-wisp, Dame Fashion. Charmingly demure, re- gally beautiful or tantalizingly chic, each mood is more alluring and dis- turbing than the other. But though Dame Fashion is vari- able, she is also astute, and she has gauged unerringly the predominating trait of character of her devotees, for women are nothing if not arrant icono- ‘clasts, and they have no idol of dress Jwhich will not be gayly smashed if in §ts place they may instantly set up an- gther idol to be worshiped for a day. Change may not always mean pro- gression, but it is liable to. Scientists jell us that nothing ever remains in a siate of immutability. We either pro- 8 or retrogress, whether it be in _‘¥eligion, in politics or in that branch 'of the science and art of .living called * .feshion. . And variety or change as applied to the world of fashion is surely in the main an evolution toward basically sane notions for woman’s garb. The low heeled shoes for walking, the cor- t which preserves the natural waist the shedding of false hair, the ination of burdensome and unbe- ‘poming undergarments, all these things show the trend toward grace and freedom for the modern woman. Some of the styles this season of _pourse are freakish. That is always to i ‘but in the main fashions ‘mever: more beautiful, women’s _ne since the classic “days so a ed the ideal in line snd grace. - The cult of the beautiful is ‘with us. Mustrated upon this page is one cos- which by some might be called and by others simply daring. It ‘was built for a college girl who wished for something different to carry back to school after the Easter holiday. Dull red was the color, touched with silver embroidery and lace. The Balkan blouse was of satin, the skirt accordion plaited chiffon, so caught in about the ankles that a trousers effect was pro- duced. In the charming intimacy of the boudoir I can see no reason why a girl's fancy should not be permitted sartorially to run riot, since the riot- ousness is expressed in so pretty a manner. The little round cap was a chic adjunct to the lounging costume. But if this costume just described could be called bizarre or daring I think the two evening gowns pictured with it might 'very properly be desig- nated as beautiful., The French have a fascinating way of naming the frocks, hats and parasols which they originate, and it gives one rather a pleasant thrill to knew that one is wearing a theadore gown, for in- stance, or a tartuffe, which are the names respectively of the one on the extreme left and the one next it. The theadore was built of white crepe de chine, combined with Turkish green satin. The loose waisted cor- sage is of black lace over green satin, which sets off charmingly the pattern of the lace. With this costume is worn a scarf of flimy black tulle if de- sired, and the new boots, called co- thurns, are charmingly shown by the very modest slit in the skirt. Fashion experts say that the slit skirt is doom- ) . COSTUMES BIZARRE AND CREATIONS B ed. For street wear it may be and quite properly, too, but for the even- ing a modest showing of pretty shoes and hosiery is no more immoral than to show a pretty glove. The costume fancifully’ named far- tuffe was built of black satin. The bustle effect, which is trying its best to reappear, is of green tulle. Gold embroidery is charmingly used upon the bodice and skirt. It might not be inappropriate to dis- cuss in this article one of the adjuncts of milady’s toilet, which bids fair to rival in importance even the costume itself. The string of beads which she selects should be so harmonious a part of her toilet that it loses its office as an adjunct and becomes an integral part of the costume. Your beads must fit you—your eyes, your gown, your complexion—and they are so lovely in EAUTIFU tnemselves that one might be forgiven for writing a sonnet “To Milady's Beads” or for becoming panegyrical or hysterical, as the case may be. Each woman you meet upon the street, in the cafes, at church or any place you like, has a more or less becoming |string of beads encircling her neck | The point is to have it becoming. The amber beads that I saw in the shops were lovely, but the prettiest string was composed of finely cut aquamarines. Their faint greenish tint was very alluring. Then there were long strings of beads which re- minded me of the cranberry chains we kiddies used to string for Christmas decorations. There were quaint meck- laces of flame red coral, others of the lovely lapis lazuli and still others of ATTENTION TO LOOKS WILL REPAY THERE are a good many women who will spend hours over fancy work or tire themselves out completely fuss- ing about the house or in cooking cakes and rich dainties that the family. would be much healthier without and yet grudge as an utter waste of time ten or fifteen minutes a day spent to preserve their looks. Now, is this sen- sible? It is foolish to shut one’s eyes to the fact that an attractive appearance is of immense advantage in dealing with the world in general as well as in keeping the devotion of one’s friends and relatives. There is no reason why a woman in ordinary health cannot retain her good looks until she is quite: 0ld if she takes a little care of herself. In my opinion, the cguse of so many women fading comparatively early in life is because they were too busy about other—and some of them not at & all important—things to give this care. If you want to keep young don't neglect the bedtime toilet. Ten min- utes of beauty culture at night are worth twenty in the morning. During the day every woman develops a few wrinkles across the forehead and be-' tween the eyebrows and deepens thé lines that run from the nose to the mouth. Just before retiring wash the face in warm water and mild soap, rinse the soap off carefully, dry the face and cover the lines with cold cream, rubbing it in lightly and allow- ing it to remain on the skin for a few minutes while you are brushing youf hair and teeth. Now begin to massage across the forehead in a semicircular direction pressing quite hard and running the fingers always upward and taking them off at the downward stroke. The easiest way to tone down the unbecoming lines that often run froml the nose to the mouth, even in the faces of quite young women, is to in¢ flate the cheeks with a little air and then massage hard across the lines Alternate this with a pinching motion all the while keeping the cheeks ine flated. All this should not occupy more than ten minutes. Now wipe the * face with a soft towel to remove any of the cold cream that has not beem absorbed by the skin and go to bed. In the morning wash the face witk cold water, dry and then dab on the places where wrinkles are likely tg come a little pure alcohol or eau de cologne. This acts as a tonic and pre- vents the skin from sagging: then slag each cheek lightly with the flat’of the hand ten times. This starts the blood circulating and gives a good color. Fresh air is a great beautifier ané prevents the years from showing Keep outdoors, as much as you cam Exercise. Don't let yourself grow fal and unwieldy. If you have this tends ency be careful of your diet and don't eat fat producing food: HOUSEHOLD HINTS. To clean a leather traveling bag wash the bag well with tepid water and a little soap. After it is dry put a little oxalie acid into a cupful of htt water and wipe the bax well with "a soft rag dipped in the acid.
