X)C?o(v)en T^lnre^s Women With Empty Lives :i> BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Of course, we all know the old truism that Nature abhors a vacuum —and we dismiss the idea without ap plying it in any personal way to our own lives. But if a vacuum is abhor , rent in science and all the "ologies" P' and "isms" of book and laboratory life, it is equally so in the vast Held of humanity. There is nothing that is more unnatural and harder to endure .than a life that is based on nothing and filled with nothing. The hard-working folk who must grab for their very needs have no right to bo half as sorry for them selves as they are for the poor crea tures who have to struggle to fill their empty lives. Even if all one's work does not bring in enough money to buy warm clothing and good food and proper housing, there is a certain ele ment of fight and planning an inter esting "gambling chance" to make the life of a worker varied and free from monotony. And in the montony of an "empty life" there is a very painful kind of misery, of which life's busy workers are mercifully ignorant. The sufferers from "empty lives" muy be divided into several classes. First of all one thinks of the society woman, who, having no main inter est, fills up her existence with all sorts of fads and fancies. The work er envies the idler when she sees her lolling in her limousine on the ave nue. It is true that the "butterfly" Is probably sheltered and protected from all of life's realities, but how is a grown up woman to content herself with froth and frivol and toys when life in the very nature of things is filled with big primal facts and neces sities? Beside the society woman there are other sufferers from a vacuum in life. There is the girl of the middle classes, who sits quietly at home and permits her father to do the wage-earning and her mother to do the housework. It ne\-er occurs to her that the days she "gets through somehow" might be far more interesting if they were tilled quite full of real things instead TCZEIA ALL OVER SISTER'S HEAD Back of Neck and Both Sides Face.

Box 73, Allison P. 0., Pa. —"My sister was very badly troubled with eczema all over ber head, the back of her neck and both sides of her face. She lost all her hair, too.

Not only her whole head was covered, also her neck and face. later they be ' came large sores. Her hair was all plastered to her head. She always wore a little hood. "She used salves, but without success, i A doctor recommended Cuticura Soap and Ointment. She used two cakes of Cuticura !

Bring Back Its Natural Color, Gloss and Thickness Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol added will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxu riant, remove every bit of dandruff, stop scalp itching and foxing hair. Just a few applications will prove a revelation if your hair is fading, gray or dry, scraggly and thin. Mixing the Kage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,, though, is troublesome. An easier way i is to get the ready-to-use tonic, costing . about 50 cents a large bottle at drug ' store, known as "Wyeth's Sage and j Sulphur Compound," thus avoiding a j lot of muss. While wlspv, gray, faded liair is not j sinful, we all desire to retain our j youthful appearance and attractive-1 ncss. By darkening your hair with i Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can j tell, because it does so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge! or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by mornin all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after an other application or two, your hair be comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.—Advertisement.

" of treated BO that they are like boxes with a few trifles rattling around in side. Then there is the wife who dele gates all the real work of her life to paid help, and never tests her think ing and working powers to the ut most; the young man who prefers to be a waster instead of a worker; the boy who never puts his mind to his tasks, but says instead, "You ought to have fun when you're young," and the middle-aged man who lets him self go to seed and prefers a game of golf to a worth-while day in the office. All of these people and many more whom you can easily name and clas sify for yourself, are discontented if not actually unhappy. Life seems to them to be making no real demands on them. They suffer because they feel that there is no place in life that would be empty if they failed to fill it. It would be simple enough for then, to fill a real place in life if they, in turn, let the demands of life fill their own cxistance; but instead they put a few trifles, a little work, a little pleasure, a little whining and a little impotent struggle' into lives that ac tually crave to hold some big neces sities. And in much the same way that an empty shell of a tooth is useless for work and active for pain, a life that is not brimful of real in terest either decays or stands, an Idle, unbeautiful shell. Such a life offends the observer and hurts the owner. The only cure for a sufferer from emptiness In life Is to search for one big thing to do, regardless as to whether that big thing is the absolute congenial choice of his nature. Out of one big interest will spring many little interests. One of these is bound to lead to congenial work. And all of the ennui, all of the boredom, all of the misery and of the railing against fate that beset a person who-feels he has no place in the scheme of things will sink away before the fullness of life that is devoted to actually accom plishing something in the world. TH| OPEN TUNIC GIVES BECOMING LINES One of the Latest and Prettiest Varia* tions of the Basque Idea. By MAY MANTON 8443' Tunic,' 34 to 42 bust. The open tunic is one of the very | newest. Here it is softly full and joined to one of the prettiest variations of the basque. It can be worn over any skirt and it can be made to match the skirt or of a different material. The sash that is crossed at the back makes a becoming and a notable feature and the neck can be cut out and worn over a chemisette as it is here or finished with the flaring collar only. The sleeves allow a choice o(; full or three-quarter length but for gowns | of this kind, the full length is somewhat' smarter. In the picture, chiffon broad-! cloth is finished with a sash of liberty satin and with a chemisette of tucked muslin. For the handsome yet useful gown, nothing better could be suggested but chiffon velvet would make up most attrac tively this way with a sash of satin, or th« ?;own could be made either of satin or ol aille silk with a iash of velvet ribbon or J of chiffon velvet. Tor the medium size, the basque with ] tunic will require yds. of material 27.; 4 yds. 36, 3*4 yds. 44 in. wide, with ; yds. 27 in. wide for the sash, % yd. 27; for the chemisette dnd collar.

WJ Directions For Clean Cellars; Lime Best For Dampness If rain gets into the cellar or there is any leakage whatever to cause dampness, have it attended to at once. A dump cellar, aside from being dan ' serous, will ruin 'practically all foods. Large boxes of lime should be placed in the celalr and ime should be sprin kled over the floor. For several days there should remain in the cellar cans of chlorifle of lime in water. ' This purifies the air. Provide dry boxes for fruit, which should be raised from the ; lioor by bricks. One brick may be i placed under each corner of the box. 1 Even barrels should rest on bricks, or. 1 better still, should be set on long | pieces of scantling. A swinging shelf placed on Iron hooks away from the wall is excellent for holding baskets of onions, potatoes, tomatoes and other things that one wants within easy reach. When the side, walls, ceiling and lioor of a cellar have been swept and the shelves care fully cleaned you may aply a good coat of whitewash, or two of them if nec essary. This finished, wipe up the floor, throw open the windows, and the cellar will at once smell sweet and wholesome. Strictly speaking, clean ing the cellar is a man's work and should not be undertaken by a woman unless in case of dire necessity, but it is essential that a woman superintend the task. A mere man is apt to leave dirt in the corners and cobwebs in out of-the-way places. ADD FINISHING TOUCHES TO PARKLAND SLOPES Finishing touches to the rough "fill" work on the River Front em bankment south of Paxton street were added Saturday by a big gang of men under the supervision of Park Com missioner M. Harvey Taylor. All Saturday morning the big dump wagons from the Second street, sub way job hauled loads of earth to the section where the workmen spread it over the slopes. By noon this end of the improvement work was practically completed. The results of the filling in of the park slopes between Paxton street and Iron alley are readily observable now; the park strip in the extreme lower end of the city has been broadened until it slopes abruptly but uniformly to the River Wall. Grass seed will be sown there In the Spring. TO IRON HAJVDKKRCHIKKS When ironing handkerchiefs begin by ironing the middle. If you iron the edges first the middle will swell and make the handkerchief very difficult to iron and fold properly. Always test the heat of the iron on a piece of rag or paper before ironing handkerchiefs, as being thin they scorch very easily "A BREATH OF OLD VIRGINIA CLEVER SKIT AT THE ORPHEUM f' \i 1 1 I! *" >fSi§l"j£ ; • ... x Miss June Keith, who will appear at the Orpheum this week surround ed by a clever company In the new sk'teh, "A Breath of Old Virginia," is one of the most fascinating little on tho vaudeville stage.

Stewart WHITE lIROADCLOTH AND SERGE The Dry Goods Economist says that during the last few weeks a number of suits of white broadcloth and of gabar dine have been seen in Fifth avenue and in the smart tea rooms of this city. These suits were handsomely trimmed with fur, were very striking in appear ance, and caused considerable comment. For winter resort wear many white suits have been ordered In gabardines, In serges and In poplins. The majority of these are trimmed with white braid and white buttons. In some Instances, however, touches of blaelc are effec tively used, and black-and-white lin ings are also employed with good ef fect. thus carrying out the black and white combination idea which is also expected to bo very smart during the coming season. PIPE CAUSES FIRE A $lO fire was caused about noon yes terday at the home of Daniel Schoff stall, 1217 North Second street, when a lighted pipe was upset on a table by a roomer. The fire was extinguished by Policeman George Fetrow. 9
