Beauty Secret by Maude Miller

There are many pretty women whe do not take a pretty picture, and there are women who lack beauty, but whom the art of the photographer transforms into a being for an artist's model. And there are also women who have beauty that is not lost before a camera, and Miss Helen Bannon, who is entertaining Broadway this summer, is one of that fortunate number. Laughingly, she disclaimed all pre tensions to beauty. "If I am pleasing in appearance," che said modestly, "I do not know it," iaid therein lies her charm. She does

Kachoo! Hay Feverists Kachoo! StaKachoO'-rt For Cool North

The cool havens of Michigan and the northern Michigan frost tipped islands with the (alleged) snow island are stretching out their arms to hay feverists. The call has been heard and the response was immediate. With the rag weed as their flower and a dust mold as their seal, the unorganized association of hay fever sufferers is retreating from Richmond towards less hostile climes to sympathise with each other and breathe in the cool, refreshing, invigorating, sparkling crisp air. By red rimmed eyes or dark glasses and a beaming nose caused by the violence of the last explosion, travelers are identified as they pass through Richmond or leave this city. Richmond is a central gathering point for all hay fever suffers south of here as it is out of this city that the most direct

ith a laugh, "brings no definite reurns. On the contrary, I am quite atisfied that the woman who does all ier exercising in the shopping district zees so many distractlngly pretty things in the windows that she becomes a little envious, and the otherwise beneficial effects of out-door exercise are lost in the feeling of envy they inspire. No one can get good effects from filling one's lungs with fresh air, if at the same time a little resentment is allowed to creep in. FRIDAY'S EVENTS AT CHAUTAUQUA Tonight's Program. 7:00 p. m.

AMUSEMENT PARK CLUB'SJEXT STEP Haas and Jordan Study Concessions of Cincinnati and Dayton. An amusement park for Richmond will be a venture entered into next year by the Richmond Lake and Park company. Charles W. Jordan, secretary of the company and E. M. Haas, manager of Morton park are in Cincinnati visiting parks. They will also collect data

on amusements and concessions from Indianapolis and Dayton parks. Part of Morton park away from the residence district probably will be converted into an amusement park of the kind that Richmond citizens have demanded. In its present condition Morton park is classed low by the citizens as a public park. The park is now only suitable for summer living and has no attraction besides boats, a merry-go-'round and a few small concessions. The two park officials are going to figure into the cost of such amusements as derby races, chute the chutes, figure eights, five cent dances and other attractions city parks offer. The new ball grounds will be near the park. The street car line to the park and the proposed site of the baseball park is almost completed. The sewer system into the park has been under construction for some timo with gangs of men working every day including Sundays. The grounds are badly torn up at present from the sewer excavations. PLAN TO ADVERTISE PARCEL POST HERE A consignment of sample cartons for packing eggs has been received by the postmaster. This will be placed on display after Mr. Beck returns from St. Paul where he is attending the National First Class Postmasters' convention. A letter was received from Postmaster General Burleson requesting post offices to have parcel post exhibits in fairs, home comings and other places where booth exhibits can be held. The purpose of such exhibits is to instruct the people as to what can be sent by parcel post; the best packers and cartons for sending and the cheapness of rates. As there will be no exhibition this year the plan can not be carried out in Richmond. ..vever, the post office may make up an exhibit on a small scale to be shown in a down town store window. . The carton Mr. Beck ordered holds three dozen eggs. They fold up flat for returning to the shipper when empty.
