The countess la well known In
American society In New York and
Newport, and la a beautiful woman.
Three yearn ago ahe waa a member of
W. C. Whitney's house party at Aiken,
8. C.. and the waa known as one of the
moat artlnlcally gowned and jeweled
women In the world. It waa reported
once tbat W. C. Whitney waa engaged
to her. and August Belmont waa one of
ber admirers. Her venture Into tha
millinery fleld waa purely for financial
reason*. She thought ahe could make
artlatlc hat* for London society, and
that aoclety would pay well for artlatlc
effecta produced at tha hands or under
the direction of one of their own aat
with whom they could dlscuaa the be-
comlngneas of the headgear on terms
of equality. So she enlisted tha aid of
Prlnceaa Hatxfeldt, daughter of the
late Golltt P. Huntington, who agreed
to finance the venture.
The counteaa atudled under M. Vlrot
for tlx months and learned the ar* of
hat-making—not the bualness, but the
art. She doea no work with her own
hands, only overaeelng the building of
all fcata an1 supplying the finishing ar-
tistic touches. She is said to havo tha
true artlat's appreciation of lines.
"Ah," aald M. Vlrot. "That la where

If you bad a fine sewing mechlae

pour the oil over It after It waa thor-

The mother who disobeyed the doc-
tor's orders, giving her sick child solid
food, only did what many other moth-

rebelled at too much overindulgence.
In the vain hope of strengthening It
It may be said with safety that the
women of leisure err on the side of
eating too much, while the very active
business or pmfessionel woman does
business or professional woman does
herself equally as much hsrm by not
eating enough. Food should not be
taken In large quantities, but It
should be taken at reasonable and
regular Intervals by the working wom-
an anyhow. No one rule of diet ap-
plies to all Individuals. Different oc-
cupations. sedentary or active, neces-
sitate different diets. Vegetarianism
may agree with one pereon and make
another feel weak and negative.
The foundation of success Is health,
and in order to be healthy each one
must study and observe the require-
ments of her own constitution. It Is
not intelligent for a woman to allow
herself to become cranky, nervous, irri-
table and haggard-looking because she
has not devoted aa much time to study-
ing her own pfiVslcal needs as she doe*
to observing and catering to those of
her pet canary.
The woman who overeats has only
herself to thank for the unpleasant
result*. She know* betters—If she
doesn't, one experience ought to teach
her. The woman who undereals or
who eats what simply "taates" and
does not nourish her need not con-
sider herself Intelligent.
There are plenty of good books oh
diet and the value of foods, and to be
well nourished requires neither much
money nor much time—merely some
thought on the subject.

TREATMENT FOR DANDRUFF
Common Vaseline Easy and Efficaci-
ous—Green Soap or Egg Sham-
poo Recommended.
Plain yellow vaseline Is one of the
very best applications where the scalp
Is quite dry and hard; perhaps be-
cause it Is so cheap, is the reaaon it is
not more appreciated. Crude petroleum
has a splendid effect on the scalp that
has lost Ita vitality; seems to have the
power to excite a marvelous new
growth. Druggists should all keep
this; It Is not In the least like the
kerosene used for lighting or cooking
purposes; to apply that to the hair la
to ruin it beyond redemption. In time.
The vaseline should be massaged Into
the scalp at night.
Green soap is a preparation that
comes in bottles, not in cakes, and has
special cleansing qualities for the
hair; the head should be wet all over,
filled with the soap and well rubbed;
the rinsing must be thorough.
Where there Is no dandruff, and hair
and scalp are dry, use the yolk of an
egg beaten in a pint of soft, warm wa-
ter; rinse In half a on more wa-
ters and dry well; no aoap la needed.
The hair should first ue wet all over
when this is used.

There U ao little truth in the criti-

United Statea was Invited to aend del
egates to the congreaa, and acceptance
of the Invitation was favored by Pres-
ident Adam* and Henry Clay, secre-
tary of state. When tha president In
his annual message announced min-
uter* would be commlstoned to at-
tend there followed a most heated de-
bate In congre**; among th# various
objections ral*ed was the one that the
t'nlted State* should be slow to com-
mit Itself to the polley enunciated in
the Monroe Doctrine. But finally two
envoy* were appointed and an appro-
priation voted for the mission une
of the envoy* died on the Journey, the
other did not arrive until after the
cloae of the conference. Only four
countries were represented at the Pan-
ama congress; it did not turn out
success.
Following this failure various at-
tempts wore made to bring the Amer-
ican republics in conference with a
view to binding them in closer union.

formed. when Mias Addams In her force-
ful way leads us to realization of what
:i big pert women have always taken
In municipal affairs, and how the mod
ern city has pushed her from partici-
pation therein. Miss Addam* empha-
sizes the point that while a city Is .a
many respects a great business corpo-
ration In many others it is enlarged
housekeeping, and that much of the
failure marking the modern city Is due
to the fact that the traditionary house-
keepers have not done their part.
"The men of the city have been care-
lessly Indifferent to much of this civic
housekeeping, aa they have always
been indifferent to the details of the
household.
Miss Addams reminds that from the
hlglnslni of tribal life women have
been held responsible for th* health of
the community, a function now rep-
resented by the health department;
from the days of the cave dwellers if
the home was kept clean and whole-

this res[Min*lblllty; when we get to the
stage of the primitive village we find
what public sweeping there waa, that
of Individual dooryards, was done by
the women; this work now represented
by the bureau of street sweeping.
We always surrender our prejudice
and believe after all it is not going
against naftire for a woman to take a
part in seeing to the health and clean-
liness of th" community in which she
lives. Presently the charter conven-
tion will give us their decision on this
subject.

OCR AMIiASSADOK TO BHAZIt
Just at present it looks as though '.his
country was being "queered" with
Latin America by means of subtle in-
sinuations of her representatives. The
Latin-American wants to lie felt a
world power himself, does not espe-
cially relish that I ncle 8atn feels him-
self necessary as protector and de-
fender. The Latin-American likes the
way European nation* minister to his
sense of dignity, doea not relish the
way in which the United States lias
more or les* Ignored his existence.
Wherefore what Secretary Root de-
signed to accomplish by his visit of
state to Brazil-traveling on a I'nlted
States transport and escorted by a
squadron of flrst-cia*s cruisers—may be
frustrated by the foreigners' influence; ,
A Washington correspondent last De
cember wrote of a "hemisphere solid!- |
fled, as a probable result of Mr. Root's
Journey to Brazil, a hemisphere solid! '
fled against European aggression; but
It looks now as hough the European
aggression would have considerable to
say about solidifying.
In discussion of the subjects of the
secretary's visit with our South Amer-
ican neighbors, the following were
named: To show the South Americans
that the United State* does not aaaume
the role of protector, but consider*
that the states of the new world should
enjoy absolute equality. To give dem-
onstration of friendship of the I'nlted
States with her neighbors, show such
attention as 1* common between the
nation* of Europe, personally ex-
plain that the United Statea has no
scheme ot territorial aggrandizement.
The Latin-Americana, being assured ot
the friendship of th* United State*,
which acknowledge* their equality, to
b* asked to support th* Monroe Doc-
trine, to recognize th* obligation* it
lmpoa** a* well aa the benefits. These
object* were part of a well-laid plan,
but well-laid plan*, as we all sadly
know, gans agley; and it now
se*ms there is slight prospect of the
object* being attained. Certain recent
expressions from representatives of
Latin-American republics suggest the
subjects will not be allowed discussion
In the council chamber*. That seeds
of suspicion hav e been aown by trans-
Atlantic agents is pretty well under-
stood.
Let u* review previous Pan-Amer-
ican conferences and also varfous at-
tempts that did not bring the desired
response. It i* popularly supposed
Mr. Blaine was the father of such con-
ference*, but before bis time efforts
were made to t>rlng about the union of
the people of the Americas. Hack
In 1826 there was held in Panama a

America; "but a war in progress be-
tween Chile. Bolivia and Peru and
the failure of our United States con-
press to grant an appropriation, caused
the withdrawal of the invitations. And
now we come down to the congresa
under the presidency of Mr. Blaine.
In October, 1889. a congress repre-
senting every American republic save
San Domingo, met at Washington. A
number of recommendations were
made relating to the free navigation
of American rivers, a uniform sybtem
of weights and measures, a uniform
standard ot value, a common sl.ver
coin throughout America, an Interna-
tional bunking system, reciprocity,
uniform sanitary regulations, the es-
tablishment of a bureau of information

concerning the commerce and re-
source* of the American republics; but
few of the recommendations were ever
sdopted by the governments inter-
ested.
Our government suggested holding
the congress which met In the City
of Mexico In October, 1901, which was
really Pan-American. The work here
conslstetd of a number of protocols,
treaties, conventions, resolution* and
recommendations. Mention should be
made of the protocol of adhesion to
The Hag.to convention for settlement
of international disputes; a treaty of
compulsory arbitration, which was
signed by ten delegations; resolutions
favoring construction of a Pan-Atiur-
lcan railway.
The work of the Pan-American con-
gress to be held In Brazil next July
will be watched with closest interest,
the people of the United States now
"aware" of South America.

Salvation Army Thrift.
N many of our
large cities the
good housewife
takes pleasure In
sending word, by
means of the post
card provided, to
the salvage de-
partment of the
Salvation Army
that she will have
ready at a certain
date something for
the department;
and with equal pleasure the army re-
ceives what the housewife desires to
dispense with.
In Chicago the salvage department
now ha* 21 wagon* employed in col-
lecting; four picking up from the de-
partment stores down town, the re-
mainder skirting the town to collect
household waste. Some very good ar-
ticles are found among the waste, and
almost everything Is turned to use by
the provident army. Old magazines
and books, old clothing, crockery, pa-
pers, tailor's cuttings, everything is
sorted and made the most of. From the
central warehouse over on Harrison
street goods are distributed to the nine
stores, located in districts chosen with
reference to the needs of the neigh-
borhood. To these stores myriads of
poor women flock for bargains. And
such bargains as they are able to get!
A hat for five cents, a skirt for 15. a
wrap for 30, the whole outfit costing
but 50 cents. Of course there are 1 oi-
liest ers. people that buy to sell again;
but the keepers of the stores are pretty
good readers of human nature, and If
they suspect they put the prices up.
But to the shorn lamb the wind Is
tempered, for the very needy prices
the lowered. Baby articles come very
cheap, and a house may be furnished
complete for about $lu.
Just now when the whole town la
given over to spring moving and
spring housekeeping the army is kept
very busy, Its wagons In constant de-

with awe at the uprearing of high,
slender framework.
On Madison street buildings erected
lust after the fire have lately had to
make way for modern ones more as-
piring, and over on long neglected
Monroe street the greatest change*
have been made. Here stand* tne
splendid Majestic theater, the tallest
building in Chicago, built on ground
space so small the architect bad to go
up high In the air to make the Invest-
ment pay. But the banking interests
have done the most to change the char-
acter of Mouroe. First mention must
be made of the building erected at a
cost of 13,000,000 by the First Nation-
al bank, and which has invited others.

Various landmark* have had to go
with all the improving, and one of the
most regretted is Kinsley's restaurant,
In its day considered the finest of the
kind In the west, now only a place of
pleasant memories. And, no regret
connected with this, in the march of
improvement there is to be wiped out
the "red light" district that by some
strange leniency of officialdom ha*
been allowed to continue in the very
heart of down town Chicago. Ere long

station will flnd that this part of town
has been revolutionized.

One of the blessings of Hope Hall
most appreciated is the caref illy
guarded seclusion. Here a man that
honestly Is trying to shake off old as-
sociates, old vice*. Is not In such dan-
ger of weakening as though h were
outside; and here he need not fear
