BEAUTY’S SEVEN NURSES.
A Lint of Don’t* Which Women Who
Wish to Remain Attractive
Should Obey.
Don’t forget that the nurses of a
woman’s beauty are seven—fresh air,
sunshine, warmth, rest, sleep, food and
whatever stirs the blood, be it exer
cise or enthusiasm.
Don’t neglect sleep. You can sleep
yourself into good looks. A long nap
and a hot bath will make any woman
more attractive, and lift years from
her shoulders.
Don’t eat when tired and don’t work
when tired. It is a mistake to work
when not in fit condition—bad for the
work and worse for you.
Don’t miss your “beauty sleep.” It
is a mistake to go to bed late at night,
rise at daybreak, and imagine that
every hour taken from sleep is an
hour gained.
Don’t give unneccessary time to a
certain established routine of house
work, when it could be much more
profitably spent in rest and recreation.
Don’t sit down to table as soon as
you come in from work, or a round of
social duties. Lie down, or sit down
for ten minutes, waiting until you can
partake of your dinner with the physi
cal machinery rested and refreshed.
Don’t bathe in hard water. Soften it
with a little powdered borax, or a
handful of oatmeal.
Don’t bathe the face while it is very
warm or very cold. '
Don’t wash the face when traveling,
unless it is with a little alcohol and
water, or a little cold cream.
Don’t attempt to remove dust with
cold water. Give the face a hot bath
with soap, and then rinse thoroughly
with clear tepid or cold water.
Don’t rub the face with too coarse a
towel. Treat it as you would the finest
porcelain, tenderly and delicately.
Don’t be afraid of sunshine and
fresh air. They offer you bloom and
color.
Don’t forget that hearty laughter is
a source of relaxation. So are all high
thoughts, as those of hope, beauty,
trust and love.
Don’t forget that beauty is power.
There is nothing more potent. It is
to a woman what capital is to a mer
chant. Its absence is a misfortune; its
culture wise and proper.—Washington
Star.

"I would rather be the widow of‘Phil’
Sheridan than the wife of any man liv
ing.”
So said Mrs. Philip H. Sheridan, the
widow of Gen. Sheridan, when some
of her friends were twitting her upon
the subject of marrying again—a state
ment that her prolonged widowhood has
proved, for she is very attractive,
bright and entertaining. She has beau
tiful hands, always well set off by dainty
cuffs.
Mrs. Sheridan has four children—a
son, Lieut. Philip H. Sheridan, United
MRS. PHIL, SHERIDAN.
States cavalry, and three daughters,
Mary, Louise and Irene, the last two
of whom, known as ‘‘the Sheridan
twins,” can hardly be told apart. They
are always dressed alike and are almost
inseparable companions.
Mrs. Sheridan has just sold her old
Washington home, which, with many
^ of its furnishings, was presented to Gen.
• Sheridan, to Mr. Gifford Pinchot, her
neighbor. She will now build another
house at Sheridan circle, Washington.
She owns a pretty summer place at Non

REAL ROYAL ROMANCE.
EnKnKeiuent of Britinh Prince** to
Prince Andrew of Greece Based
on Genuine I.ove.
The announcement of the engagement
of Princess Alice of Battenberg and
Prince Henry of Greece has surprised
London society in general. It brings
forward a very charming British-born
princess of whom the public knew little
or nothing. Princess Alice is the grand
daughter of Queen Victoria’s favorite
child, Princess Alice, late grand duchess
of Hesse Darmstadt. The bride-elect’s
mother was Princess Victoria of Hesse
Darmstadt; her father. Prince Louis of
Battenberg, ha3 now been for many
years one of the most distinguished offi
cers in the navy.
Princess Louise of Battenberg elect

wife, and she and her children have
accordingly traveled extensively — in
deed, it is said that Princess Alice has
been nicknamed by some of her cousins
“The Mermaid,” because of her con
stant and close association with the
3ea.
Prince Andrew of Greece, who is his
parents’ fourth son, has long been a
favorite nephew of Queen Alexandra,
and his portrait occupies a prominent
position in her boudoir at Sandringham.
He is, like all the sons of the king of
Greece, a very fine and cheery-looking
young man. He met his pretty fiancee
at the coronation, and it is said to have
been a case of love at first sight. It is
an open secret that the course of true
love did not in this case at first run
smooth, for both the prince and princess
are very young, and not overblessed
with this world’s goods. However, all
has now been arranged satisfactorily,
?.nd the royal family is celebrating the
betrothal in the good old-fashioned way
by giving a series of dinner parties in
honor of tb happy couple. Prince and
Princess Louis of Battenberg own the
castle of Heilgenberg, and there they
often spend^rine'e. Louis’ leaves of ab
sence.
AN ANCIENT SLANDER
Woman In No Fonder of Hearing: Her
self Tnlk Than la the Man
Who Ridicule* Her.
The less foundation there is for a slan
der the longer it lives. How many ideas
are in existence to-day that have been
handed down through the channels of
literature and verbal tradition and are
firmly believed in by the mass of man
kind, and yet are absolutely erroneous.
For example, take that common idea of
woman’s garrulity. From the preva
lence of this mistaken notion one might
imagine that man has lost the power
of speech and that woman is the sole
medium for verbal communication. The
so-called “comic” papers teem with
jokes in which woman's alleged fond
ness for “words, words, words,” as
Hamlet says, is held up for ridicule. The
men who write cynical paragraphs for
the press are continually harping on
this ancient theme of feminine loquacity
with such remarks as this: “A man
in Missouri hasn’t spoken a word to
his wife in 16 years. Perhaps he was
unwilling to interrupt.” Or, “It was
said of a certain great man that he
could be silent in seven languages. It
is rarely that a woman prefers one-sev
enth of this feat.” Funny? Perhaps,
but with a sting.
Let us see whether verbosity is a
purely feminine characteristic. Preach
ing and the law may be regarded as
chief among the “talkative” profes
sions, and these are filled almost exclu
sively by men. Bartering, too, whicli
is somewhat of a conversational calling
attracts many more men than women
and who ever heard of a female auc
tioneer? The truth is, the power ol
speech was given to both men and wom
en for intelligent use, and one sej
abuses the privilege about as much as
the other. But to lay the entire burdei
of criticism upon woman is the essenci
of injustice.—Housekeeper.

Sunday School Union
Centenary Celebration
England Will Properly Observe the One Hun
dredth Anniversary of an Important Date.
-
gi«g^] HERE is to be an interest
s' ing celebration in England
'v this year in commemora
\j$r tion of the organization of
the Sunday School union
just 100 years ago, 23 years
after Robert Raikes started the first
Sunday school at Gloucester. During
those years of expansion and growth
of the movement in behalf of the chil
dren, Sunday schools had sprung up
in every large town in England, and
had found their way into Scotland and
Ireland. With the development of the
idea, came the conscious need of uni
fication and centralization for
strengthening and systematizing the
movement. This was effected in 1803,
and it is this great forward step in
the evolution of the Sunday school
which is to be appropriately observed
In Great Britain this year.
The Sunday school of the present
day, with its session of one hour, its
voluntary and earnest corps of teach
ers, its circulating library, its papers
and cards, its bright music, and the
dozen and one other features to make
It the brightest and best spot in the
child’s life during all the week, bears
little resemblance to tne schools which
Robert Raikes was instrumental in
starting. “The children were to come
soon after ten in the morning, and
jS*1- 1 - 111 |ii —

the children of Gloucester. The first
Sunday in July, in 1780, was the great
day, and long before the school was
timed to open a crowd of urchins were
besieging the doors, eager for a place
in the school. Immediate success
crowned the movement, and other
schools were soon opened in Glouces
ter. In those days the teachers were
paid, for they not only instructed the
children in religious matters, but
taught them to read, and the major
part of the day was devoted, as al
1 ready stated, to the session of the
school. Raikes at the time was
the editor of the Gloucester Jour
nal, and used his paper for extolling
the results of the work. By this means
it was made known all over the coun
try, and soon there were few big
towns which had not followed the ex
ample of Gloucester.
It was a little word, but potent,
which gave Raikes the inspiration and
courage to undertake the work which
was destined to mark a new era in the
history of religious development in
the church and the world. It was the
word “TRY.” Years afterward, when
his active work was done, he referred
to the incident when first that word
thrilled his being and brought him to
final decision. He was walking with
| a friend through the streets of Glou

stay till 12; they were then to go
home and stay till one; aiid after
reading a lesson they were to be con
ducted to church. After church, they
were to be employed in repeating the
catechism till half-past five, and then
be dismissed, with an injunction to go
home without making a noise; and
by no means to play in the street.”
Four women were employed as teach
ers in the Raikes school, at the rate
of a shilling a day.
The primary object of Mr. Raikes in
starting his school on Sunday was to
provide a means of keeping the chil
dren off the street, and the matter of
religious instruction was only inciden
tal. the school partaking more of the
nature of the modern day school than
that of the modern Sunday school; in
fact, it is often said the present free
school system is an outgrowth of the
Raikes movement. Robert Raikes’ own
account of how he first conceived the
idea is interestingly told in a letter
I---1
1. ...I II. I .1 «
ROBERT RAIKES, FOUNDER OF THE SUNDAY
SCHOOL.
to a friend, written some time after the
1 schools were started:
“Some business leading me one
morning into the suburbs of the city,
where the lowest of the people—who
are principally employed in the pin
manufactory—chiefly reside, I was
struck with concern at seeing a group
of children, wretchedly ragged, play
ing in the streets. I asked an inhabi
tant whether these children belonged
to that part of the town, and lamented
their misery and idleness. “Ah,” said
the woman, “could you take a view
of this part of the town on a Sunday
* you would be shocked indeed, for then
the street is filled with multitudes of
1 those wretches who spend their time
in noise and riot, playing at chuck and
cursing and swearing in a manner so
i horrid as to convey to any serious
mind an idea of hell.”
• The house of Mr. and Mrs. King was
■ secured for the first Sunday school for
cester and pausing in a back street,
he uncovered his head and offered a
silent prayer. Then turning to his
friend, he said, as the tears rolled
down his face: “This is the spot on
which I stood when I saw the destitu
tion of the children and the desecra
tion of the Sabbath. As I asked:
‘Can nothing be done?’ a voice an
swered: ‘Try!* I did try, and see what
God has wrought.”
With the universal aceptance of the
Sunday school movement, and the peo -
ple of the present day unable to re
member the time when they have not
been familiar with the idea of the Sun
day school and its splendid work, it
is hard to realize that once opposition
and disapproval of the movement was
encountered from church dignitaries
and others. Sir Charles Reed, refer
, ring to this at the Raikes centennial
celebration in London, in June, 1880,
when the splendid statue in honor of
Raikes was unveiled and dedicated
upon the banks of the Thames, said:
"When Sunday schools were first in
stituted in this country they were
fiercely attacked. It is not to be sup
posed that they had an easy progress.
They were attacked by prelates in the
pulpit. The bishop of Rochester nota
bly denounced it and urged the clergy
not to support It; the archbishop of
Canterbury was the first man in that
day to call the bishops together to
consider whether something could not
be done to stop this great enterprise.
Later, the Presbyterians of Scotland,
and the Congregatlonalists of New
England were represented among
the opponents of the Sunday school as
it battled Its way into deserved fa
vor.”
But this period did not last long
and when the movement came to the
notice of the queen, and she manifest
ed interest in the work, fresh impetus
was given it, as it bore the stamp ol
royal favor. Sending for Roberl
Raikes, the queen learned from his
own lips the story of his work and it'
progress; and as Raikes himself re
ports the interview: “Her majestj
most graciously said that she envied
j those who had the power of doing
| good by thus personally promoting the
welfare of society, in giving instruc
tion and morality to the general mass
of the common people; a pleasure
from which, by her situation, she was
debarred.”
But if England can claim the honoi
of having given to the world the mod
ern Scnday school, to America belongs
the distinction of being first in th<
! field with a Sunday School union, il
it wishes to go back to the establish
ment of a Sunday School union at Phil
adelphia, which was effected as earlj
as 1791. The present American Sun
day School union was formed in 1824
and it is probable that the centennia
anniversary of that event will be ob
I served. WILLIS S. KLSON.
