Beautify Your Com-
plexion at Home
A Simple Toilet Preparation Tha
You Can Prepare Yourself.
Many a woman subjects herself to
the torture of the skin specialists and
so-called ' beauty doctors" in an effort
to restore the fresh blooming com-
plexion of her youth. All too frequent-
ly the suffering and effort are in vain
not to speak of the expense that is by
no means small. But perhaps the most
unfortunate phase of the whole unfor-
tunate proceeding is that these means
often cause more harm than good to
tender skins. It is in no sense of the
word to disparage the work of reliable
specialists that these words are writ-
ten but merely to give the women
readers cf this paper a simpler and
much more effective means to make
their complexions beautiful.
The following toilet preparation is
perfectly harmless to the tenderest
skin and in thousands of cases has
made complexions soft and velvety
and has brought a tint of roses to sal-
low cheeks.
Obtain at your drug store Rose
Water. 2 ounces; Cologne Spirits. 1
ounce: Eppotone (skin food). 4 ounces.
Put the Eppotone in a pint of hot
water (not boiling) and after dis-
solved. strain and let cool. Then add
the Rose Water and Cologne Spirits.
In order to follow directions exactly
it is best to mix the ingredients at
home.
The above quantities are sufficient
to last many months and are so slight
in cost that the wash is well within
the reach of all. Applied dailv it will
work wonders with the plainest of
complexions and its use renders pow-
der and rouge entirely unnecessary.
How often have you admired and en-
vied the fresh blooming comy°xion of
some voting girl you saw? You can
have it yourself.

"During the 15 years 1 have served
the executive committee." he said. "1

the greatest men of the nation and
even some of the prominent men of
foreign nations but I have never met
another body of men who were so un-

the members of this committee.”

BEAUTY REIGNS
AT WOLFSON’S
Shimmering Fabrics and Gor-
eous Flowers Rule at the
Spring Opening.
Wolfson's spring opening today was
characterized by the brightness the
airiness and the summery sheen of
everything on display. The decora-
tions were in greens and spring flow-
ers. which beautiful as they were
hardly added a luster to the goods on
display. The flowers which are the
feature of the millinery this year are
so perfect that it w-as difficult indeed
to distinguish them from the decora-
tions. A better opportunity than to-
day with its warm dazzling sunshine
could hardly have been selected for
the display of the beautiful line of em-
broidered messalines. spangled net.
and other beautiful shimmery summer
fabrics. There was nothing lacking in
the ready-to-wear department where
everything was found from the simple
white dress to handsome creations in
rajah messalfne and taffeta in colors
including almost every hue of the
rainbow.
No one need be worried about tho
colors this year. Any color will do
and the more shades and hues the
better. As to hats; well there is
nothing left to be desired in hats —big
hats little hats narrow hats hats with
big crowns little crowns high crowns
and low crowns: the only stipulation
is that it have plenty on it. Flowers
are the keynotes of tho millinery this
year flowers of every variety shade
and hue. Never has there been dis-
played such a profusion of flowers and
these are massed over the hats in the
most delightful way possible.
Sorre Beautiful Models.
Among the most beautiful models
o' display is a Milan braid of me-
dium size with a flaring brim trim-
med in a Persian band over cerise silk
to which is added three mammoth
roses of different shades. The pre-
dominant note is green and under the
brim is a tiny band of green and ce
rise velvet. A model from Mme. Poy-
anne Is of black net. with narrow lace
frilled edge to the brim. A
‘ handsome jet band surrounds the
' crown while the trimming con-
■ sists of black crysanthemums and
black and gold aigrettes. A dafntv lit-
tle Turkish turban of yellow leghorn
has a fancy band of Tuscan braid over
maline. Its sole trimming is a shower
of aigrettes which Is held In place by
a handsome jet buckle.
A swell creation fs of white Milan
with a medium crown trimmed with
cerise bows overlaid with white ma-
line finished with pink ostrich pom-
pons. A tiny band of black velvet
faces the brim on the under side. A
handsome thing is an all-over-lace hat
of cluny. This has a bee hive of
rose petals with the brim of the hat
edged with the same. A spider bow of
black velvet is placed catchily just to
one side of the front while the trim-
ming consists of wistaria and a heavy
collar of cluny lace. There is also
shown a beautiful line of all white
hats so appropriate to the heated sea-
son which is quickly approaching.
Soft music from a Mexican stringed
band was heard all day as throngs of
visitors and home people thronged the
store in appreciation of the magnifi-
cent display made by the S. Wolfson
Dry Goods company.

A Cannon Anecdote.
(Chicago Evening Post.)
Speaker Cannon one evening stood
in the receiving line at the Washing-
ton residence of Vice President Fair-
banks. passing kindly word and grip
with friends as they came along. At
length his own daughter approached
and. drawing up his spare frame he
grasped her hand in formal fashion
and inquired with well-assumed disin-
terestedness “Your name please'.' ’
“Lydia Pinkham." replied Miss Can-
non amiably. “Well Lydia my deir
we are well met" the speaker respond-
ed “for I guess there’s just about as
much good in your remedies as there
is in my presidential boom."
