Success for a Woman.
Among the most striking pictures In
tie Paris salon is a portrait of a
young woman In white, whose IJtn
tity Is concealed under the title of
"Un Ito'oe Ulanche." It is hung on
the line, Bnd It Is safe to predict that
it will aid much to the reputation of
the artist. Miss Flora LJon. This tal
ented young Englishwoman had her
first taste of the Joys of fame last
year in Paris, when her salon exhibit,
a portrait of Lady Galway in her coro
nation robes, won high praise from
eminent French critics. Miss Lion Is
engaged on several portrait In Paris,
Including one of the Baroness de
March!, and a miniature of the Mar

When at home Miss Lion's headquar

giving lasting offense by telling the
caller frankly that the call Is Inoppor

men bo quick to grasp a point In all
else never seem to underctand this
jartlcular subject as men do. This
is due, in a measure, to lack of busi

for others Is one of the most charm
ing qualities of the well-bred woman,
and one which may ho cultivated by
every one.
The housekeeper deserves the great
est amount of sympathy, for she is at
the mercy of every thoughtless person
of her acquaintance, unless she has
the courage to take a firm stand and
insist u;on her rights, as an individ
ual, to her own time ami pleasure In
receiving her frlmrts. Those who of

who have no special occupation or
aim In life except to have a good time.

has a time and place for everything
may be a terror to the friends who

Joy, for she values the passing hours;
consequently will noi. waste those of

The fashionable flower for table
decoration is the camellia. The pure
white flower is the most beautiful,

this flower for table use Is the ab

She Carrice a Gun and Knowa How
to Use It,
Deulah Reynolds, deputy United
States Marshal for the Eastern dis
trict of Oklahoma. That Is the way
it reads on the payroll, and the pe
tite, handsome girl that answers to
the name Is a real deputy Marshal
with authority to carry a six shooter,
a privilege which she uses, nerving
under Grant Victor, Marshal of the
district.
Miss Reynolds was born In Ran
dolph county, Mo., and educated at
Ioxir.gton, Mo. ' .She was In
Oklahoma City at the opening of
Oklahoma. Sho regards her ap
folntment under Victor as a politi
cal matter. She was taken on as a
stenographer, but when she went in
she insisted on taking the same oath
that any other Deputy Marshal takes
and sho also is subject to the same
rules and duties. So far as known
she ls the only woman actually In
service as a deputy United States
Marshal. She has authority to make
arrests, raids, serve papers, and even
go Into the field on special duty.
When she took the oath of office 1
Miss Reynolds was asked if she
would go out and make an arrest If
it were required and If she would
take part In a real fight if it came to
a "show down," and It was pointed
out to her Just what dultles are
sometimes required of a deputy mar
shal In tight places.
Her reply was short and to the
point.
"I will take the oath, and I am not
a quitter."
The next morning when the Mar
shal came down he found lying on
the desk of his new deputy a pearl
handled six shooter of excellent
make, handsomely engraved and
every chamber loaded. He was In
formed that It shot pretty well and
that it was a better gun than it look
ed. So far there are no notches on
this gun, but who knows when there
will be? The fact ls, the young
woman had been carrying the guu
when she believed that she needed
It, and sho knows how to use It.

they have their trimmings blended
by professional trimmers, employed
by all the enterprising establish

Roses, pond lilies and tinted or
chids are used In the decorative
scheme of the hate pictured and in
addition to the flowers there is a
spray of wheat in gold galoon and
a most startling note of cerise in a
rosette of ribbon at the back. The
roses are pink, the llllles are white
and the orchids must blend with the
pink of the roses and cerise of the
rosette to form a perfect color
scheme, but the result ls delicious.
Hats of this kind are worn with
lingerie frocks and afternoon toil
ettes of silk and cloth. Their var
ied color scheme make them suitable
for wear with almost any frock, and
It Is only when one sticks to the one-tone-
ideaa that auch a hat cannot
be appropriately worn.

Nobody can deny that a person's
character leaves Innumerable Inde

the body, the face, the dress, and all

A well-known Washington cartoon
ist once advanced the theory that the
two sloes of a man's face revealed
his public and private character re
spectively. Placing a card over one
side of the face of a well-liwu pol
itician, he proceeded to prove his
theory thus:
"Here, you see, ls a half-closed,
crafty, watchful eye, a determined
mouth, a firm Jaw that's what this
man is in Congressional debate. Now
look at the other side. The eye
opens frankly, the mouth almost
smiles, the whole expression ls that
of decision tempered by geniality and
good humor. That's what he ls ln
the bosom of his family."
In his recent novel, "The Heart

hero, a palmist, say:

In some way or other we are all

p h y slogomlsts
think that a

forehead, with
eyebrows sloping upward from the
nose, indicates fanaticism, or the ra
pacity to devote the whole energy to

aclences which deal with the relation
