BEAUTY SECRETS OF BEAUTIFUL WOMEN

Deep Breathing Lessons From Miss Zoe Barnett

AVE you ever watched a

fish breathe?" asked the dark-eyed Zoe Barnett, of Lew Fields's "All

Aboard" company. "No, I'm not bringing the role of comedienne into this Interview; I am about to tell you the greatest beauty secret I know. A fish breathes visibly you can see its little Bides expand and contract as it breathes deeply and all over its body. But most women breathe either in the top of their lungs or expand their diaphragms as much as their stiff corsets will let them. Now I wear corsets of "Grecian tricot" or webbing and those corsets breathe with me." We were sitting in Miss Harnett's own cool-shadowed room, and the grateful breeze that fluttered the cur

tains had not seemed a possible thing down on the sidewalks below. My hostess was wearing a fascinating pink kimono just the pink to bring a flush to the clear olive of her cheeks; pink "mules" peeped daintily out, and her head was bound in a scarf of soft pink eilk with a big pink bow drooping in graceful lines just at the base of a left ear that fitted in with the color scheme of sea-shell pink. A very witching negligee for a midsummer day. Try it with the finishing touch of surah silk sash and see, little sisters. AN EXHIBITION. "Now I will give you a little exhibition of proper breathing, and then you would probably like a little sermon on just what it does for you," went on Miss Barnett, making the interviewer's lot an easy one, indeed. "Please put your hands here on my ribs and feel them press out and out till they are fully expanded by my full lungs and till my chest is pushed way up by those same lungs, and all the hollows in throat and neck are padded out and filled by the splendid clean air I am drawing up from my diaphragm. That is deep breathing. "Deep breathing helps you have a figure that is slender yet round. It banishes hollows and unupholstered bones, and it helps the skin throw off impurities and keep white and fine of texture. It lets you have a clear voice, with plenty of reserve power and strength back of it. Try it at an open window twenty times each morning increase your twenty to thirty to fifty breathe deeply whenever you are outdoors and finally grow into the habit of breathing deeply all the time. "Do you know, when I feel a little headache starting or find an attack of Indigestion imminent, I rush to the open window and breathe deeper and deeper until that internal application of fresh air clears my system and wards off the threatened attack. "Do you aid and abet your deepbreathing measure by some sensible

dietary laws?" I asked.

"Oh, yes, the food supply is first aid j to the air supply," said the girl who

adds so much wholesome sanity to the more scintillant charm of her delightful personality. "I eat only two meals a day. I find that I can sing over a sore throat even an ulcerated one but my voice will not make music over an over-worked and protesting stomach. Over-eating seems to be a more general complaint than starvation in our land of too plenty." CHOOSING COSTUMES. "And to your theory of unlimited fresh air and limited food supply you add a bit of originality in choosing costumes, don't you?" "A good bit," was the answer. "I loathe putting myself into clothes that some one else has designed for me.

I don't feel quite free to be myself un- i one great thing

less everything about me is me and j dressed she can attend to the details

expresses me. I like my clothes to be one form of my self-expression, and I think it is worth while bringing earnest study to the understanding of your own type. But if a woman lacks that great essential taste, she can do

of her costume. Never wear a bedraggled petticoat or go about in run-down heels, for if every little detail is neat and in good taste, even the simplest costume looks attractive and dainty." And in the fine glow of an independ

ent spirit that dares preach because it practices. Miss Barnett concluded: "Work hard at deep breathing and at deep feeling and thinking and trying, and then you'll be a success at being a woman and a worker, and a beauty too, maybe!" LILLIAN LAUFERTY.

LIGHT AND PLANTS

EDGAR LUCIEN LARKIN.

"WHAT power, if any, has

ight .artificial or natural,

on the forced growth of veg

etation, compared with heat,

This question opens up a rare field for discussion. Both heat and light are required for plant development. Which has the greater force is difficult to decide, but a plant would live longer in total darkness without heat than in cold absolute, but in light. The problem of white light shining on plants is a very ancient one; but the dispersion of white, sun or electric arc light into a long spectrum, where the constituent colors are separated out and then allowed successively to fall on plants, is modern, of great interest and by no means yet fully understood. Suppose that we have plants that can move, not fixed by roots. Thus, whatever bacteria are, whether plants or animals, they are perhaps more nearly related to the vegetable than to the animal kingdom. And this point is not clearly determined; the line of division is so irregular that it is not fully located. Some bacteria are very active and others comparatively still. Some have cilia delicate, hairlike appendages and these enable them to move. The microscopic objects move and live and have their being in a drop of water. REACT UNDER COLOR. Place a drop on a thin glass plate, lay another plate on this, flatten the drop, put the glasses under a highpower microscope and view all in range of vision with white light direct from sun or arc. All will be normal. Now place a prism between sun or arc in the beam of light, separate it Into a long band of colors and allow these to fall on the cityful of moving inhabitants. Some will not change, but they are mostly white. Others contain a purple coloring matter. These react to light, act, absorb carbonic acid gas and emit oxygen. Placed in the darkness this process stops. Cut off light from the drop, admit a tiny ray, then the bacteria will leave the darkness and cluster in the light. But they have no eyes, nerves or organs. Behold this mystery. They become aware of the existence of the light means unknown to science. The wonder is this: Is light a chemical? Cut off the lighted area and they all swim away. This all in white Ught. Now turn on the spectrum. At once there is a hurrying toward the bright red; they do not stop, they enter dull red. No rest there; they pass beyond and congregate in the infra-red in a region of radiant energy invisible to the human eye. But great numbers collect in the yellow-orange part of the band of colors. Few go to green and blue, and none to violet or beyond. i ENERGY WAVES. Careful research showed that in those beyond the red more carbon was stored and oxygen liberated than in those in the orange-yellow. Beyond the red, then, energy waves invisible to human eyes can be "seen," or sensed, or utilized, by these bacteria. But ultra-violet waves, also invisible to humans, make imprint on silver molecules and thus photograph. Chlorophyll is the green coloring matter in plants. This is acted upon in a remarkable manner by light energy stimulated into greater production and liberation of oxygen. But cells in the larger plants all liberate oxygen; therefore in these bacteria under the microscope the observer peers into nature's labyrinths. No clue as to what life is, however, has been detected. But since nature does not break up light into these gorgeous colors of the spectrum, but uses white light, the growth of plants appears to depend mainly on energy waves that we cannot see.

THE LIFE OF THE PARTY

BY WILLIAM F. KIRK.

1USED to know a bright young man named Alexander Blake, Who kept his neighbors laughing till it made their framework ache. Some gift, some intuition you ma.- call it what you will Would give your sleeping funnybo ies a new and startling thrill. Besides this prodigy's remarks, served fresh and piping hot. The works of Twain and old Bili Nye were that much dusty rot. No party was a great success, no minstrel show would take Without the bubbling presence of young Alexander Blake. He was the wittiest person that the country ever knew ; He was a constant kidder, and the best that ever grew. Before his shafts of satire and his wealth of ridicule. The brightest' of his comrades would appear a blinking fool. He robbed the village bank one day his last and merriest joke And now said Alexander has to wear a convict's yoke. It always makes me gloomy, melancholy, glum and pale. To think of all the humor that is bottled up in jail.

BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE MY doctor said to me, said he: "In weather like this here You must eschew the luscious stew. The lush saute, the rich ragout, And pie and cake and pudding, too, And whiskey, wine and beer. In point of fact, you must not eat Eggs, oysters, vegetables or meat.

Health and Beauty Helps By Mrs. Mae Marlyn

After the Honeymoon Married Life the First Year.

BY MABEL HERBERT URNER. THE telephone rang shrilly. Helen dropped the dainty undergarment into which she was running fresh ribbon and ran to answer it. "Hello!" Only the confused "whirring of wires for several seconds. And then Warren's voice, impatient, hurried. "That you, Helen? Why, I can't get home for dinner. Vance Walker is in town and wants me to dine with him. Don't worry if I am late." A silence. She did not speak. He had dined downtown twice that week

and she was struggling with a sense of neglect and hurt pride. '"Eh what's that." ne called sharply"I didn't eay anything." "Well, why don't you say something? You know mighty well that your silence can be darned uncomfortable. If a man can't dine out occasionally without being made to feel he's a brute by " Here they were cut off. and Helen heard only the buzzing of wires. She waited and shook the receiver several times. "Hello!" i. Central's sharp voice. "Why did you cut me off. Central?"

"What number were you calling?" "I don't know the number the other party called." "Well, if I get them I'll ring you up."

I Helen reluctantly hung up the re- ! reived, but still lingered by the "phone. : Surely ho would call her again he w uld not let it go like that! S But the bell did not ring. Could he have thought it was she j that had cut off? If he thought that he j would be furious. Restlessly she walk- : ed up and down, hoping every moment that the "phone would ring but , it didn't. Should she call up his office? He j might have been telephoning from ! there. Then she realized it was after five he was never there so late. Still, i sho w ould try. She took down the re

ceiver. "No. 3560 Rector." A long wait

"Trying to get Rector 3560" shrilled Central. Another long wait. "That number don't answer." He was not there. She turned from the 'phone with quivering lips. He knew that she would have a desolate evening here all alone; he need not have made her anxious and wretched too. The least he could do was to call her up again and say something kind something to make her more comfortable. How quickly he used always to ring again when Central cut them off! Even if they were just about to say goodbye he would ring her again with a laugh "I haven't anything more to say, but I'm not going to let Central cut ns off like that. It s worth calling up again just to hear you say goodby." Bat that, she told herself bitterly, was before they were married. And

BY packing me in ice and salt they brought me "round at last. "Why he's not dead," the interne said, "Is what I can't get through my head. For when they chucked him on. that bed" He sure was going fast." Now here's a tip for which I paid a very painful price: DON'T EVER OVERHEAT YOURSELF BY FOLLOWING ADVICE! now how different it was now! How different everything was! "Shall I cream the potatoes, ma'am?" Anna had come to the door. We've had 'em baked so much. "Yes," abstractedly. And then she called her back. "Oh, Anna, Mr. Curtis won't be here for dinner and I don't want much of anything. Just something cold will do. "But the roast is already on, ma'am." "Oh, all right it doesn't matter."

And then again she wandered rest-,

lessly about the room. She had been ' in all day helping Anna rehand the i bedroom curtains (they had been too short.) And now must she spend the long evening alone? And was this only the beginning? She had already faced so many disillusionments. She was trying to become reconciled to his irritability, to the dying out of all romance and sen- j timect and now must she too accept neglect? Did the future hold for her countless lonely evenings? She had clung to the belief that ; when once they were really settled in ' their own home they would be very : happy. Through all the disappointments of their honeymoon she had held fast to the pictured thoughts of the pleasant companionable evenings in their own cozy little sitting room, when he would read while she sewed

in a low chair beside him. And now was she to spend most of those evenings alone.

Clara: I know parnotis will greatly reduce your weight, and when this is done you will feel much better and healthier. To prepare the treatment, get from your druggist 4 ounces parnotis and dissolve in 1"4 pints hot water, then take a t&blespoonful at meal time. This acts gradually and gently and safely reduces weight without restoring to violent exercise or dieting. This treatment Is far superior to any "patent" fat-reducer, for the reason that the graceful lines of the figure are regained and the flesh and skin are left firm and smooth.

This tonic is made at small cost by dissolving 1 ounce crystos In 1 pint clear water and 2 or 3 drops of thla should be put in the bothersome eye until a cure Is effected. Te crystoi eyetonic is strenrtheaink to weak, waterr

sparkle and youthful expression. With the aid of the crystos eye-tonic It la frequently possible to discard glasses.

Anxious: This Is the only safe, certain hair-remover: Mix into a paste enough delatone and water to cover the hairy surface, apply and in 2 or 3 minutes rub off, cleanse the skin and the hairs will have vanished. Rarely Is the second application necessary to remove even a stubborn growth.

Genevieve: You can easily and quickly cleanse your hair and scalp with canthrox, and the shampoo is so refreshing and invigorating that you will never again use or permit the use of soap or other mussy, harmful mixtures for this purpose. Just dissolve a teaspoonful canthrox In a cup hot water and your shampoo is ready. After rinsing, the hair will dry very quickly and take on a rich, even color and beautiful gloss. Canthrox is especially nice for hot weather shampoos, because it stimulates and invigorates the scalp's tissues and makes the head feel so exhilarated.

Lucy: Nature exacts heavy tolls when her laws are violated. Your skin has been abused by powder. An ordinary spurmax lotion, made by dlssolT-" Ing 4 ounces spurmax in pint witch hazel or hot water. Into which Is stirred 2 teaspoonfuls glycerine. Is far superior to powder, when on and seems part of the skin, and its use will give a rose-blush and velvety smoothness to any complexion. I can highly recommend the spurmax lotlojl toz, clearing the skin of all comi4ilon disfigurements and bringing ck the healthy glow of youth to the aged, weathermarred or powder-ruined skin.

Auntie: Yes. that old-fashioned kardene tonic will do you a groat amount of good. I am sure. Here is the recipe: To prepare, add 1 ounce kardene to pint alcohol (whisky should not be used!, then cupful sugar and hot water to make a quart. Take a tablespoonful before each meal and you will be surprised how quickly your strength and appetite return. The kcrdene tonic is fine f.r any kidney or liver trouble and will clear the skin of fcallowness, blotches, pimples and other complexion fau'ts, as well as make you weigh exactly what you should.

Jennie: No. qulnxoin hair-tonic cannot posaibly injure the bair. Qulnzoln itself is the most beneficial remedy of which I know for all hair and scalp troubles, and when it Is made up according to my slmpfe directions is better than any hair-tonic you ever used. To prepare. Jut add 1 ounce
