leal a fruitful field of vital Interest. They nro In the highest
feminine position which It is possible to reach In two great
countries. They are In the limelight of the world's gaze, In
which they both have succeeded in evoking admiration with
out a breath of criticism. According to all theories of church
and state they are peculiarly the liponrnts of the Ideally
happy woman's life In the possession of children who prom
ise to fulfill the highest possibility of happy manhood und
womanhood
They are a target for the eyes of women the world over
who are chiefly concerned with keeping a husband's affection,
as it is plainly evident that they have both Inspired the most

since she has been in th- White Ions,, the cli trm of Mrs.
Roosevelt's sweet all. I radiant look and smile has held the ad
miration of observers to the exclusion of all other analysis of
her looks. Now the mor. phl. u'm.i t ic kais. rin. whose far Is
of the more florid (ic rman type, shows this same indescribable
look as she sits surrounded by In r sons. It pervades, her
portrait even to the extent that she might be taken for the
president's wife
Similarity Hard fo Account For.
WhRt is this Intangible something which can invest these
two far apart favorites of different blood and of different
nations to the point of making theii appiar In certain views
and certain attitudes as sif ters or doubles? This is the ques
tion which women the world over would like to have answered.
Is It the beatific expression which is believed to be invariably
attached to happy mothcrl d ? t ir is It just the coincidence
of a similar attitude, a trick of the cine ra. and a happy dis
position? If it is the latter, it has .1. vdoped as something of
unusually specific meaning and outside of the individual. If
it Is the f.unicr. then it is icitaiu that the look of the first
lady of the land and of the Fatherland will do mote to Inspire
belief in the chances of happiness in the theories of their
respective husbands than any utterances from mere mas
culine lips could do.
There can be no doubt that It is a look of transcendent
happiness and in some way it seems to be inextricably mixed
up In the minds of the observer in the case of each woman,
wbh her chlMnn. I'crhaps, loo, it is the fear and uncer
tainty of the future which alwayn enters into the heart most
chiefly concerned with these fledglings, which gives the look
of whole depths untold behind the potent expression in the
face of each of tli. se mothers.
The kalserin has just come to the most diilicult ordeal
that is known to the inothtr of sons. For all the happiness
that she finds in the Uuche.sa Cicely her on is hers no longer.
All along she has hail to give him up a little at a time, as it
wire, first to the demands of the kaiser, then to his country,
and now to his wife. With her other five sons the kalserin
sees all along the line 'he same certainty of renunciation.
The system upon which the sons of the German emperor
have been brought up has been, arranged without reference
to their mother's wishes, although she has carefully seen
them carried out. With the Princess Victoria It has been
different. The mother has been able to command whatever
she would for her daughter. Kven the kaiser so far has been
comph tely wound ttrnun 1 the princess' finger, and has given
In to all her wishes. Who shall say, however, that the em
press may not feel the .lay to be getting too mar when the
little princess will also make a royal marriage and have to
fulfill the difficult part of a German wife, perhaps without
the love that has belonged to her own married life?
Children Raised in Limeliqht.
Another possible reason fur the sad look which the close,
analyst would see behind the smile of the Gel loan empress
Is that to the children of kings and empresses more than to
those of other mothers conns the unexpected. The kalserin
herself had nut the slightest Idea In her early days that she
would become the consort of the mightiest sovereign in west
ern Europe. The German empire did not come Into existence
until her thirteenth year und even when she married there
was but a small chance of her husband ascending to the
throne until old uge. Hut seven years after she had married
Frederick's son the young princess had become an empress.
Since then th Joys and trials and all the details of her home
life with her children, as well as their ownership, has been
shared with the public.
With Mrs. Itoosevelt it has been different. For while she,
too, has hud the difficult ordeal of bringing up her family
in the limelight she lias enjo.Md to the utmost their pos
session and companionship. The president apparently Is no
more inclined than uuy other American father to take to him-

self many rights of disposal when It come to managing the
children. Ho far Mrs. Itoosevelt has had the sole admin
istrative anil executive ability. She has been their chum
also, because she likes to do things that most women would
scorn. She loves to go for long walks about the hills of Oyster
Hay. She can sit a horse as well us any of her children. Of
late she and her eldest boy, Teddy Jr., have become familiar
to Washington pedestrians. Faily shoppers frequently meet
them In the quieter stre-ts of Washington, where old books
and curios are to be found. She Is fond ot looking ut the
curios and young Theodore likes to prowl ureund the book
stalls, where, if he finds a rare volume, he Is happy.
The only trouble that lias touched Mrs. Kooscvclt during
her stay In the While house has been the illness of Thcndorn
Jr. When the telegram was l eclved ut the White house an
nouncing the illness of the boy with pneumonia at Groton
Mrs. Hoosevi It canceled all engagements for the season and
left Washington the same afternoon. She spent most of the
time at Gmton In the Infirmary until the boy was convalescent
and, although It was an anxious time, she bore up well under
the strain. So far there neither has been nor promises to be
anything which shall change the happy look of the president's
wife Into one of sadness or even to the suggestion of it
which seems to linger around the eyes of the German empress.

OULD you like to know how to take a beauty
A bath?
I This Is presuming that you understand the
y Y I secrets of k'.. ordinary bath and that the mys
teries of the Turkish bath are not unknown
to you. The lionnty bath Is for those who have
a hobby for taking baths but who have not, as
yet. indulged In the one real and only bath
the bath which gives beauty.
The beauty bath does a great many things:
It removes stiff neck and banishes rheumatism.
It clears the complexion and makes It pink and smooth.
It restores the hair, turning It back to Its original color,
and prevents baldness.
It makes one slender, for it washes away the fat.
It perfumes the skin, making one feel delightfully fresh.
And it preserves the beauty generally of a woman who
is not too old or too neglected to care how she looks.
To go hack to the first point of advantage, the beauty
bath excels all others. In that It maki s the Joints supple.
One can be tit iff and come out Umber. One can have a pain
ful shoulder or a neck that is crippled with rheumatism, or
an arm that doesn't work as It should, or one rheumatic leg.
You begin by drawing a tub of hot water and Into this
you put enough borax to soften It. Then you get Into the
tub. and. while you are Immersed, you apply a soothing lo
tion to your nVck. This is made by stirring a few drops of
ammonia in a great deal of hot w-ater. only enough to make
the skin tingle. This is bell upon the shoulder and neck
for five minutes. After this the neck Is massaged for fifteen
minutes, and finally rubbed with almond oil for fifteen min
utes more. The result Is that your sti!T tu ck Is gone and you
ore able to wear your low throated gown again this evening.
Put this is not the rial beauty hath. The real bath is
the one which Is taken d.lily and to which the woman of
beauty or who desires beauty Is willing to devote an hour
or mure each d ay. The best time is at night. Those who
like tile cold bath ran draw the water the night before and
let it stand In the tub over night. In the morning It will be
Just the temperature of .he room. This is for the cold bath,
or for those who are beginning to learn the cold dip.

Water Must Be Softened.
After you have drawn your kith whether it be hot or
cold there must t. the softening of the water. All faucet
water is hard for b. auty bathing, and she who would have
a milky skin must soften the water. The favorite method
is by dropping a teaspoonf ul of powdered borax In the bath.
When this is dissolved there can be added a handful of bran.
I'owdind ...itiiieHl will do. and many who have tried It prefer
It to bran, pour in a little orange flower water, and. if thu
excuse is not too great, add a dash of cologne.
The soap should be good. Never use cheap soap. A good
soop Is as important as a good loaf of bread. In sdecting

Temperature to Suit Individual.
" Kvery woman understands the secret i of the ordinary
every day bath," said a uauly specialist, " but not one in u
thousand undi islands how to take a beauty bath. The beauty
kith costs to barn, but it pays hack the money In actual
beauty. You ran l come pu tty by its dally use."
When ou are taking a k auty bath do nut make the mis
lake of taking it either too cold or too hot. Individual pref
erence is every thing. If ou pn fi r a m. lluii bath, by all
means take It. People are entitled to their peculiarities, and

The average person can take
minutes. Those w ho are stout should ho contented with less.
The hair should receive special attention. It should br
shampooed with clear water, softened with guod soup Jelly.
This should be washed off with a great many waters und the
hair should be fanned dry. Fanning the hair dry Is Im
portant, for upon It di pt tids the future condition of the hair.
Kach strand should n reive special ultentioti and the hair
should be aired and sunned and fanned until it is sweet and
Huffy.
Hair that does not curl readily should be sprayed after
it is dry. Tfie spray should be a p.rfum.d one, and the hair
should be made moist. It should then be thoroughly dried.
With this treatment there will be Imparted a lusting frag

The stout woman in 'lie beauty bath should be massaged,
and she shuuld also use a gnat dial of strong soap. Tula

her on the road to slendt rin ss. Tim lean woman, on the other
hand, should use less snap und should remain In the water
longer. She needs the plumping agency of hot water.
All beauty baths should terminate with a good rinsing.
The Idea of washing in soap is all fight if the soap bu -washed

u great many linns Those who take the beauty bulbs of
Hirlln go through a rinsing whuh remove all the soup und
dirty wattr from the skin. In Paris tiny put perfume In

If one has rheumatism, or the bluts. the final bath should
be fragrant with pine, needles. These act directly usm tho
