M'LISS EXPATIATES ON THE
. LADY AND THE SUPERWOMAN
Is Geniality a Matter of Small Ears and Curved
j Eyelashes, and Must Superwomen Have
' Unwashed Hands and Mannish Habits?
Q1 ,,a small t&n" writes James Huneker In his criticism of one of George
O Moore's heroines Mildred Lawson"ears that are danger signals to ex
jerienced men."
Diminutive aural Appendages In tho nse of Mildred may or may not have
been" the: visible indicators of the mean, cold soul that she had If one of her
characteHstlca can be Bald to have hrid anything so spiritual ns a soul but'tho
fact remains that tiny ears havo always been considered by the experts as one
ef the first distinctions of a beautiful woman. ( .
An old book that I read recently quoted seven physical qualifications with
out, tho possession of which no woman could be said to be cither a "lady" or a.
ucauty.,
tier ears must be small, pink and shell-like.
Her hands must be delicate and shapely.
Her ankles must "bo slim and patrician.
Her neck, white and curved like a swan's.
Her voice, soft and welt modulated.
Her eyebrows, distinctive and delicately arched.
tier, lashes long, silky and curling upward with a gentle sweep.
Marie you, there Is no Word about tho color or size of her eyes or the classic
wold of her nose points which tho average person in considering beauty la
liicely to emphasize first of all. Jt la tho little things that count in distinguishing
the "lady."
Qut is the "lady," na Webster .defines her, "a woman of reflnod or gentle
manners and sentiments, etc.," stljl extant? Comparod to tho standards of BO
years ago, when a woman felt It an insult to bo called "woman" and preferred
the less red-blood appellation "lady," our sontlmonts aro certainly not refined.
It is doubtful If any "lady" aa our grandmothers knew them, would over
havo wanted to vote. Assuredly, sho would not havo considered It within hor
province to aggressively chooso her husband or to go out into tho harsh world
and mako her own living, to rldo a horso astride, to visit places of amusement
at' .night without a chaperon or masculine companion. And yet the modern
equivalent of theso "ladles" do all of these things with Impunity.
Perhaps they nro ondeavorlng to bo women superwomen Instead of tho
inoro decorative and decorous "ladles." But what makes tho supcrwoman? In tho
current number of Alnslee'i Albert Payson Torhuno asks tho same question.
"What makes the supcrwoman? Is It beauty? Cleopatra and Rachel wero
homoly. Is it daintiness? Marguerlto do Valols washed her hands tout twice a
week. la It wit? ' Pompadour and Du Barry wero avowedly stupid In convorsa
tloru Is It youth? Diane de Polctlcrs and Ninon do VEnclos wero wildly adored
at 60. Is It tho subtle quality of feminism? George Sand, who numbered hor
admirers by tho score poor Chopin in their foremost rank was not only ugly,
but 'disgustingly mannish. So was Semlramls. Hero aro tho stories of super
women who conquered at will. Somo of them smashed thrones; somo were con
tent with wholesale heart-smashing. Wherein lay their secret? Or rather, their
secrets? For seldom did any two of them follow the samo plan of campaign."
In my opinion, Terhune has not named tho superoomen. Let us hope, at
any rate, If ho has, that tlioy succeeded In bolng such In splto of their unwashed
hands, sluggish mentality and disgusting mannlshncss. Some of tho biblical
women, Judith of BethUlia, Esther and later on down tho centuries, Joan of
Ate, more nearly approximate superwomen In my estimation. Their cause
was as big as their acts. Women who upset thrones and subjugate men for the
personal gratlflattlon" they derive from their potency aro not superwomen. But
I 'don't think ears at least the olzo of them have so very much to do with It.

If you wnnt to make your trip In a leisurely
manner the followlnr stops are recommended
ns belns of Interest to the traeler: First day.
New Tork to New Haven, home of Yale Uni
versity,: second day to Springfield, Mass.. one
of tho most picturesque of New England towns,
and third day to Boston. You might return via
Providence, New London and New Haven, a
route which I. shall be glad to give you If you
prefer It. It takes IS hours 8 minutes, and
costs 1 3 75 from Boston to New York,
There are eo many trips by trolley around
New Hncland, radiating from Boston, but I
haven't space to gle them all In detail. You
can go to Fall River, Narragansett Pier, New
port, Lowell, Putnam, Fltchburg, or Lowell and
Kalem, Then the rides along the New England
coast are wonderful, the North and South
shore alike being famous for their beautiful
scenery and magnificent summer homes.
-Do you think vaseline is good
hl
Dear M'Ltss
tn make the eyebrows and eyelashes thick?
If a person cuts the ends of her hair every
two weeks will that make the hair grow? If
not, what will make the hair grow?
if. L. S.
Vaseline promotes the growth of hair, but
It applied to the eyelashes It should be very
carefully done, so that none of It gets Into
the eyes. Long eyelashes wlL not Improve your
appearance It the orbs th encircle are red
and Irritated.
A doctor tells me that singeing the hair
ever7 six or eight weeks is better for It than
clipping. I should advise you to have It done
by an expert once at least (the price will not
be mora than '25 or 50 cental eo that you can
observe just how It ought to be done. The
hair Is divided Into sections which are twisted
like a rope. The split ends are then descernlble,
and a lighted match or candle la used to
singe them. It's dangerous business to attempt.
Better let some one do It for you.
COMMON SIGNS OF LEAD POISONING
WHICH AFFECT MANY, TRADES
By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D,
QAINTEIIS, workers In tobacco factories
Jtwhero' lead fell Is used, beer drinkers,
children who eat Jim-crack candles, and
workers In lead ore, white and red lead
factories, glazing and other processes tn
the manufacture of pottery, tiles, porce
lain enameled ware, and china, are subject
to lead poisoning, of which also brass and
nickel polishing, type-founding and setting,
linotyping, charging atorage batteries,
dyeing and printing, holding "tinned"
nails or tacks in the mouth, chewing tin
foil, glass polishing, glass cutting, plumb
ing, working In weighted silk, making ar
tificial Sowers and leather varnishing are
possible sources. Women have acquired
chronto lead poisoning by using "flake
white" as a toilet article. Bakers have
used chromate of lead to color cakes.
Inhalation of the dust carrying minute
particles of lead Into the lungs, rather
than absorption through the hands or
skin, ts the usual mode of industrial lead
poisoning. Eyen painters may be thus
poisoned despite every precaution of
cleanliness.
Lead poisoning may produce the most
bizarre symptoms and the condition may
simulate various nervous or organlo dls
eases. But some of the more frequent
indications of lead poisoning may be men
tioned as at least suggestive;
Obstinate constipation, with colicky
pain at intervals of weeks or months. A
prolonged sense of, constriction or tight
ness in the upper abdomen, not exactly
paiqtulbut very distressing. Severe head
ache. Neuritis or marked weakness of
any muscle group, but especially "wrist
drop," a weakness of the extensor muscles
of the forearm, making it difficult to
draw9 back the wrist or hand. A marked
pallor. Anemia. A blue line on the gums,
near, but not in, the margins next the
teeth. High blood pressure.
The muscle paresis or weakness from
lead poisoning sometimes Involves one
shoulder, sometimes the muscles of the
vocal cords (causing loss of voice) and
sometimes the legs, causing drop foot, or
sv peculiar "steppage" gait, In which the
patient steps high.
Occasional transient delirium, convul
sions or eplleptold attacks are noted in a
caaa of chronic lead poisoning.
Tremor is a common manifestation.
Swajnstreises have been chronically poi
soned by biting lead-weighted thread.
Bear drinkers have been poisoned by the

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Chronic Gastritis Not Enough
Vhat should a person with chronlo gas
tritis eat?
Answer That would depend upon what
alls the individual. Is It heart disease,
cirrhosis of the liver, cancer of the
stomach, pulmonary tuberculosis, alcohol
Ism, duodenal uloer, gaatroptosls, gall
stones or Just overeating? "Chronic gas
tritis" alone Is Inconceivable.
Two Common Ideas
1. Is quinine good for tho bones? 3.
Is sulphur or sulpherb good for the blood?
3. Is Hoffman's anodyne good for the
heart?
Answer 1, No. 2. No. S. No. Qui,
nine cures genuine malaria and hence may
relieve "bone ache," which has nothing to
do with the bones. Sulphur Is a laxative,
nothing more, ijloffman's anodyne is
chiefly ether a pain reliever, not a heart
stimulant
Improbable Factors of Disease
I have never noticed any effort to stertl
Ue (a) tho doctor's thermometer, or (b)
the communion cup. How about these?
Answer -We are strong in ur faith In
the "germ theory," but wa would never
hesitate to let any doctor take our tem
perature, nor would we fear the com
munion cup. In fact, there is no good
evidence that the latter ever is a factor
of disease, or the former either.

FASHION'S FANCIES
Headers who wish help with their dress
problems will kindly address all letters
to tho Fashion Expert, Care of hhe Even
inp Ledger lfonmn's Editor, and write
on ono side of the paper only.
It was David Bolasco, I bellovo, who
said thnt tho man who foresees what the
public wants, and supplies It, has the
stuff of which millionaires ore made.
It Is one of tho greatest errors that
fashion makers commit when they believe
that Instead of consulting tho present
taste and mood of tho women to whom
they are catering they aro capable of In
ducing them to favor a stjle after it has
been launched. Just as though a phy
sician would feel the pulse of a patient,
nfter, and, not beforo he attempted a
diagnosis 1 Fortunes have been wrecked
on that principal.
Not so very long ago certain couturiers
chose to Imagine that woman was tired
of her big waist and her comfy stays,
which really could not be called stays
at all, so merciful were they. The hour
glass wdlst, said they, will be tho very
thing! Incautious corset? manufacturers
stocked up with nlpped-ln models.. But,
alas, ask any corsetlero how those 'samo
models were received,
"We couldn't sell them." ono woman
told me; "we had to put them on a back
shelf and send out hurry-up orders for
the comfy kind. You can't force a fashion
If the women aro against It. The recent
mistake In corsets exemplifies that."
And, behold, what do wo see In the
shops? Relentless, unyielding basques to
bo fitted over 16 or 18;lnch waists sUCH as
our, grandmothers boasted in their hey
day? Nof'6h,ypur,llfe. Instead we havo
wnnrlorfiillv' eriiiful and artistic smocks
and their lbss-abandoned cousins, Russian
blouses apparel that will permit us to
breathe long, life-giving breaths and to
eat t,hreo hearty meals a day without fear
of bursting our sartorial' confines.
"But will these Bmocks bo worn on the
street?" I hear a prim querist murrnur.
"Are not they far too Bohemian for con
ventional folk?"
I should not advise a smock under any
consideration or for any occasion for the
woman of avoirdupois, but for the Jeuno
fllle, that blessed damosel of tender years.
I can Imagine nothing more charming on
appropriate occasions for morning wear,
tennis bouts, garden, boating or golf
ing parties than these lovely smocked
smocks.
Dear Madam I am maklna; a, dress like the
olosed samole for my lR.yenr.old daughter.
It Is an Empire dress, with a buttoned bolero
enolosed sample for my iS-year-old daughter.
It la an Kmnlre dress, with a. buttoned bolero
and the collnr and applied trimming sections
stretchy" In
imply tnat
are to he green. My daughter wants the
sleeves sewed in tno ooiero instead ot into an
underbody. Do you think this will be satis
factory, or Is the material too stretchy!
What kind of material do you advise for the
collar and trimming' bands? Thank you for
jour kindness. Very truly yours
MOTHER.
Tour daughter, I believe, will make a mis.
take If she insists that the sleeves be put Into
the bolero Instead of betnr a part of the under
blouse. It Is just such fine points that distin
guish a frock, made by a professional from that
put out by An amateur. Dut if she really
wants It that way. I should reinforce the arm
hola with plplmr of the same material that ou
ttse for tho collar and trlmmlnr. It Is not
in-- laci umi ine material is '
which I base my objection. It Is
underhlouses are so smart thla vear and
charming, too with the sleeves of a material
contrasting with that of. tho frock proper that
It seems a pity not to' havo It made up In
that way.
Moreover, the sleeves and neck of a gown
always soil more quickly than any other part.
Somotlrriea It Is posslblo to wear a light frock
an entire season without sending It to the
laundress If It has it detachable underblouse
or gulmpe. Thla le-an unanswerable argument
for one, tn my opinion.
Softness Is the keynote of neck finishing this
season Why not have a hemstitched collar
of pale green georgette crepe? Thla material
does not, however, mako a vory practical trim
ming elsewhere on the frock, and your letter
mentions bands, A charming New York model
that I saw the other day. In one of the ex
clusive shops here, had georgette collar and
slees. Old-fashioned moire ribbon, plcot
edged, about tvio Inohes wide, was the only
trimming. The dress was of pink sprinted
vollo and the ribbon was French blue Why
not match the dominant shade of green In your
material? If. however, vntir no'turn l nn
adapted to It, I should advise taffeta.
Dear Madam Can you please tell me what
material, silk and color, would be ntce for an
outlnc-eoatt .
Would ' a person wlh brown' eyes, dark
brown hair and a light complexion look good
In a champagne or steel colored material
for an outing dress? I have slippers of cham
pagne color and I am undecided In which color
I Mould look all right.
You will be doing me a great favor by an
swering the questions as stated above Sin
cerely, S, F. I,.
Champagne Is more suited to your type than
steel, which Is a difficult shade for brown
eyed women to wear unless they have been
gifted with an unusual amount ot color, nut
when you speak ot an outing dress you sug
gest that you want to slve It a great deal of
hard wear. Champagne, although It Is a love
ly shade and very fashionable this season, Is
delicate. It soils quickly. I don't believe I
would Invest my money In It. unless I got a
good quality ot shantung or pongee, which
will not only bo durable, but which washes
-.ery well.
If you want your cost to bo silk, silk poplin
has tho advantage of being smart and beauti
ful. Dut although silk makes a dressy coat It
la not the material I would choose for every
day wear. A very lightweight woolen material
an Inconspicuous check, perhaps will give
you more satisfaction In the lone run.

Marion Harland's Corner
SOME! time ago I read that some one
Wanted to knor how the United
States came to be called Uncle Sam. I
was looking through' some books and
found the following: 'In 1812 a large
quantity of provisions for tho army was
purchased at Trpy, ,N. T., by Elbert
Anderson, a Government contractor. The
goods wero Inspected by two brothers,
Ebeneser and Samuel Wilson. The last
named was invariably known among the
workmen as 'Uncle Sam.' The
were marked B. yV. and U. S. On being
asked the meaning of these Initials a
workman Jokingly roplled that he did not
know unless they meant Mioeri uii
and Uncle Sam. So the title became cur
rent among wdrkingrnen, soldiers, ana
other people, and the United States Gov.
ernrnent Is known now by those wno
.itorilnnntelv call it 'Uncle Sam. Thl?
Is my first attempt, so I hopo I have been
of some help. I read the Helping Hand
Corner every day and find It of great help.

Eggfl Must Be Fresh
"Replying to Inquiry of 'Old House
wife,' I beg leave to advise that you must
have perfectly fresh eggs, unwashed, nnd
be sure they are not cracked. The pre
served eggs should taste as good as when
fresh. Whites nnd yolks do not run to
gether, and thero should be no odor what
ocr from the Jar. Placo It In the cellar

because the eggs aro crackod and particles
ooze out and in time spoil, causing tho
smell. When placing the eggs In the Jar
lay themMn gently so as not to crack any
of them. I have heard some complaints of
eggs spoiling, but tho troublo was traced
to not strictly fresh eggs. I have had them
over a year In water glass and they were
as fresh ns whon put down. J. J. O.
How to Grow Ferns
"Once In a while I see a query In the
Corner with regard to ferns. Ferns
should not be oorwatorcd when In a Jar
diniere, whoro drainage Is necessarily
poor. In spring and summer they re
qulro threo times tho water necessary
In tho fall nnd winter. About once a
week place them In tho bath tub and
give them a bath with weak suds from
a good grade of soap. Itlnso tho soap off
Immediately. Care must bo taken not
to Injuro tho fronds, as they aro delicate.
Ferns as they come from tho florist pre
pared for Indoor culture should bo placed
In a Btrong light, though they grow well
without sunlight. Water them sparingly,
but koep moist at all times. Permitting
to' get dry Is tho foundation of most fern
difficulties. Mealy bug is one of tho worst
enemies in house culture. This Is a
white, woolly Insect that works close to
the bottom of tho fronds. If found, the
plants should bo examined every day and
alt Insects removed by a splint or a tooth
pick. Cut oft tho top of tho fern within
an inch of the ground if tho pest bo bad.
