This does mot wean that you must sit il street cars wearing an in-’ sipid grin. Not at ali! It does not even mean that you must actually smile in the literal sense of the werd. But your expression can be smiling without your lips being parted at all. If you are thinking about pleasant occurrences your mouth will turn up at the corners and your eyes will sparkle, quite nat- urally without any effort. This will keep your face attractive and youthful, even when you have | passed the borders of youth itself. If you wish to retain your beauty as long | as possible, don’t form the habit of let- i ting your lips droop and all your face i muscles sag downward when your face is in repose. “Just stand before the Tnirrer and pull your lines down to get the effect. Draw ‘your mouth down and scrowl a bit an 1 you will see just how ugly those droor- ing lines can make you look. Then smile, not artificially but naturally, just a little around the lips, but a great deal in the eyes, and you will see how ' pretty you cin appear. If every woman realized how much harm she is doing to herself when she pits with her face muscles all relaxed and drooping she would try the smile cure for ugly lines. The smile can bring about magical results-in lifting a girl fremm the ranks of plainness to . the Zeights of actual beauty. ’ Recipes ¢ Fish Fritters—Cut some stale slices of bread and spread them with a quar- ter of a pound of cooked fish (any kind) which has been pounded up with a little anchovy sauce and pepper and a tiny knob of butter.

DECREE OF COURT IN CUNNINGHAM —— The heirs of the late Elias Si ham of Somerset must accept $6,000 Hf less than the amount awarded them ' by the jury in their suit against the Baltimore & CQhio Railroad company or take the chances of a new trial, and the defendant company must file an acceptance within five days a:- ‘ter the plaintiffs have accepted or the Prothonotary of Somerset coun- ty will enter judgment against it for the full amount of the verdict, $30,000 in accordance with the opinion re- fusing a new trial and decre~ filed by Judge Aaron E. Reiber, of Butler county, at April sess’ms, 1915. The opinion and/decree, filed last week, occupy less than three type written pages. After stating the case Jurge Reiber says: “On the part of the plaintiffs the amounts ranged from -43,720 to $32,000, and on the part of the defendants from $4,500 to $2,500.” Judge Reiber says that he has the convicition “that the opinion of wit- nesses of both plaintiff and defendant were more or less controlled and af- facted by local interests. This fact, however, will not move or justify the court to interfere with the verdict.” “Following our conviction we deem it our duty to grant a new trial un- less relieved by the action of the parties in suit, and feel warranted in lending our aid to avoid another trial of this case.” “And now, August 9, 1918, it is or- | gered that upon plaintiff filing in the "office of the Prothonotary a remitter for the sum of $6,000 frorn the amount of verdict within ten days from this date a new trial is refused, or failing . to do so a new trial is granted. If written five days after filing same by plaintiff, and notice thereof, the de fendant shall file an acceptance theve- of with an agreement, the judgment to be entered in accordance herewith shall be final and conclusive, the Pro- thonotary is directed to enter judg- ment upon the verdict less the sum of 6,000 with interest and costs. Upon defendant failing to file an accept- ance within said period a new trial is refused and the Prothonotary is then directed to enter judgment upon tie verdict for the full amount thereof.” The case grew out of the railroad company having taken from the Cun- ningham estate a number of acres of land, adjoining the Somerset passen- ger and freight, station, by right of = eminent domain, for the yards install- ed there two years ago. Saturday afternoon the Ganuingham estate filed an acceptance of the order and decree of the court: ¥ LUNCHEON .FOR BRIDE-TO-BE. Miss Helen F.
