By ANSI LISLE.
The purple mists rest on the. hilt
And tbe furse Is of molten gold;
The purgent air li althrob atbrill,
But the heart of the autumn's cold.
Tou eyes are a purple-hued mist.
And a tangle of gold is your hair,
Tour lips of coral were shaped to be kissed
But I know love la not there.
The winter will mantle the hills.
When the blasts of the north wind blow;
But I've neTer a garment to fend my heart
From a maiden of ice and snow. .
That Awful Bore The Whiner
By DOROTHY DIX.
Chief among the dangerous animals
that are to be encountered as one wan
ders through the vale of tears, ia the
Whiner. Thta unpleasant brute may he
readily distinguished
at eight by Its long
tat of woe, which It
wags eont 1 n u a 1 1 y
and by its having
the curious peychlo
power of filling the
surrounding air with
- gloom.
"' This enables It to
-he recognised at a
great dlatanqe, hut .
', unfortunately, u .'
matter bow far away,
you -amy -see'' the
"Whiner.. it 'has al-
wars eeen you first...
and U - coming for-,
you at. a lope. In
Tain 4a you at
tempt to dodge or
' run. Before you can wink an eye the
Whiner has seized upon you, and after
seasoning you up with, a few salt tears,
its down and begins to feast upon your
. tenderest feelings.
... The origin of this awful pest of so
ciety is loat in the traditions of the past,
i but it Is generally conceded, that it is the
lineal descendant of the skeleton that the
, ancient Romans Introduced at their feasts
' to remind us not to get too chesty, and
, that worse is to follow.
Nor has any one'ever yet been' able to
' .discover what purpose this creature
' serves In the economy of nature. Bom
; hold that, like the mosquito, its mission
' Is for the propagation of profanity. Oth
jers contend that, . like the snake in the
, grass, Its object is to keep. us from over
, confidence, while .the most sdvajiced stu
; dents of insectology bring forward much
convincing data to support the theory
that the Whiner, ilke the gad fly, the
tick, the red bug, etc., etc, ia part of the
mysterious dispensation of Providence to
' reconcile us mortals to the brevity of life,
, for it is' observable that the minute a
r Whines, attacks even the most robust
tnan, he. throws up his hands' arid appar
, ently loses Interest In the subsequent pro
1 seeding.
' But- whatever the purpose of ' the
- Whiner, it is undeniably here, pervading
aa otherwise peaceful and happy world,
. and doing its humble and conscientious
' best to make it unfit to live in.
The Whiner is of both sexes and tbe
. males and' females bear a strong outward
.resemblance to each other. They are
. nearly always thin and gaunt, and dys-
- peptlp-Jooklng, and of a bilious color,
I with mangy coats that need ' brushing,
and a lack-lustre eye that only brightens
up whan they seise upon a victim.
The' two sexes differ In this notable re
' spect, though, that while tho male Whiner
merely bunts for the sake of money, the
female hunts for the pure love of the
. sport.. You sometimes save yourself from
. being entirely bored to death by a male
Whiner by throwing silver at him, and,
' although he will Invariably return and
; attack you -again and again, you gain
torn respite from your sufferings. On
the other hand, the female Whiner Is not
' to harried away from her quarry by any
' known means. 8he will take all that you
will .give her, but she is bound to have
your life blood Into the bargain. " ' -..'
The most familiar variety of the male
:-Whlnea Is the common ' panhandler on
; the street, who springs upon you out of a
doorway, with a story about being out of
'work,' -and having seven small children
,' Under I years of age. This Is an lnaocu
. yvm creature that you can easily drive
away with a quarter for beer, and while
, it ia unpleasant is not dangerous." -' .
,' Ths ferocious one of this species is the
kind known aa the "Hard Luck" variety.

'.' A cough is really one of our best
friends. It warns us thst there ia in
' flammation or obstruction in a danger
ous place. Therefore, when you get a
bad cough don't proceed to dose yourself
-with a lot of drugs that merely 'stop
tbe cough temporarily by deadening the
throat nerves. Treat the cause heal the
Inflamed membranes. Here is a home
made remedy that sets right at the cause
and will make an obstinate cough vanish
more quickly than you ever thought possible.-
Put tM ounces of Pine (50 cents
worth) in a pint bottle and fill the bottle
with plain granulated surer syrup. This
stives ou a full pint of the most pleasant
and effective cough remedy you ever used,
at a cost of onlv 54 cents. So bother to
pre pars. N full directions with Piuex.
It heals ths inflamed membranes so
gently snd promptly that you wonder
- -how it does it. Also loosens a dry, hoarse
Or tight couth snd stops the formation of
fblegra in the throat and bronchial tubes,
bus ending the persistent loose cough.
Plnex is a Mjrhlv concentrated corn
. Tuiid of. Norway pine extract, rich in
graaiaeol. snd is famous the wni-1,1 one

", To. avoid disappointment, ask your
drurgist for "2V ounces of Plnex," and

ol absolute satisfaction, or money prompt-1
If refunded, goes with this preparation.
The Pinex Co it. Wayne. led. I
This is a creature that Is of most sloth
ful and Indolent habits, and that appears
to have been pickled In alcohol until it
has only on ray of energy left, and that
Is the Impulse to bold up people and live
on them. It also has a most violent tem
per and foams at the mouth when a man
attempt to protect himself from It.
The Hard Luck Whiner Is cannibalistic
In Its tastea, and feeds chiefly on Its own
family, because they are eaay and have
no way of escspe. It will eat up its poor
old mother or Its hard-working slaters
with the greatest relish, but it !s quite
content' to devour strangers If, ss occa
sionally happens, an energetic female rel
ative takes the broom to It and beats It
out. of the house, for the, Whiner la at
heart a coward wtth a yellow streak in It
seven feet wide. . ' 1 ''
..Tbe Hard Luck Whlner'a method of at
tack ts es sneaking es that of. a cur dog
that cringe up to you, but that you can't
shske or lose. The first you knew of its
presence It has fastened on yeu like a
leech and Is emitting doleful sounds that
have been translated to mean "I am a
poor unfortunate fellow. Everything Is
against me. The world Is down on me.
Nobody appreciates me. Subsidised man
agers won't take ray play. Venial editors
won't buy my stories. Tyrannical em
ployers turn me off for no reason. When
I opened a saloon In Kentucky the state
went dry. When I started a skating rlhk
In Massachusetts, strawberries ripened in
the epen at Christmas. When I took a
boatload of red flannels to the far north,
open-worked shirtwaists were the only
things that were de rlgeur with the Arctic
Circle ladles. Woe! Woe! Wos Is me!
I never did have no luck, nohowi"
This the Hard Luck Whiner repeats
ever and over again in a oracked-lce tone
until women scresm with terror and
strong -men turn' pale and give up the
ghost.. Once there was a very brave man
Who tried to save himself and his family
from a Hard L.uck Whiner by interrupt
ing Its moans and telling it that it grew
Its pwa tale of woe, but the relentless
creature only started again and told it all
Cver the second time, which killed the
man Instantly, and since that time no
body baa. ever dared to even say "scat"
when one gate going.
The chief characteristic of the female
Whiner is that she loves to weep end
throw flu. Just) let her soak the prem
ises in brine end tear off a few epileptlo
stunts and she Is perfectly happy, but,
unfortunately, ahe does not enjoy turn
ing on the water works or howling unless
she has an audience. , This leads her to
covertly insinuate herself Into people's
homes when they are not watching and
attack them at their own fireside.
Sometimes, whole families are slain
thus In a bunch, and although the cor
oner's certificate may give the cause ,ot
death as "heart failure," it is perfectly
wall known that they have been bored to
death by a female Whiner.
The best known variety of the female
Whiner Is the one that Is. known aa the
"Been Better Days" variety. It la
scarcely necessary, to describe this pest,
as there is probably no one so fortunate
as not to have been bitten by one. The
favorite habitat of this particular apectee
is about women's exchanges and boarding
houses, where they ere so common that
all. prudent persona draw a dead line
abot such places. The "Seen Better
Days" female Whiner always has a fam
ily tree branded, upon her forehead, and
emits a peculiar1 piercing and continuous
wall that sounds like "My grandfather,
the governor. My grandfather, the gov.
ernor. Oh, I never expected to come to
this. I never expected to come to this."
This gets on the listener's nerves in time
and causes him to wish he was dead.
Without doubt, however, the roost for
midable variety of the female Whiner is
ths "Unhappily Married." This Is the
most ferociously merciless creature on
earth, the one that is by universal co Ur
gent the most avoided. Well is she called
the Queen of Bores, for once sbe tastea
blood ahe never stops until her victim is
writhing in death agony before her. Her
favorite prey is woman, and she Is found
infesting lonely places, especially at twi
light or bedtime, whea sbe springs upon
her victim and, with wailing, aad weep
ing, and gnashing of teeth, gorges herself
upon her own miseries, unmindful of the
fact that she is killing the woman and
perhaps robbing an Interesting family of
their chief means of support.
There is also another curious variety
of the female Whiner known as the Be
reaved, who rushes upon perfectly inno
cent and unoffending strangers and as
saults them with her family tombstones.
But this species le sometimes cured of Its
rabies by a second marriage.
The chief pleasure that most people
have in life ia telling their troubles.
Women never feel really, well ac
quainted until they have bad a good cry
together.
Hard luck is the mantle of charity that
failures spread over their Incompetence
and laziness.
Nobody but herself knows tbe pleasure
a woman gets out of having a drunken
husband, or a atlngy one, that she can
talk about to her friends.
If we talked aa much about our joys as
we do about our sorrows, the world would
be a cbeerfuller place to live ia. .
The only people we are really justified
1n telling our troubles to are the police
man, tbe doctor and the preacher. They
are paid to listen.
We are all thlevee of ether people's
happiness whea we burden them with our
woes. . j , . . , i
It is the coward' Id "us all that makes us
whins.

However simple the gowns of this year, each one
has some distinctive feature that stamps it as Indi
vidual and new, or It fails to carry out tho idea that .
American women are now taking up, 1. e., that the
mart woman . must no longer look exactly like all
her smart nelghbore, but like a distinctive human
who fa not a mere member of an Institution..
For ita note of distinction, the little gown on the
left has a deep blouse, almost like a girl's middy, of
white satin embossed In silver. This fastens with a
little knotted sash at the right hip and his an over
blouse of ecru lace In kimono effect. Ecru lace covers
the lower part of the satin aklrt. and ia again
veiled-ln.net bearing a double band of iridescent
embroidery which matches the tassel at the aash
: ends. '
The other gown haa a deep "jerkin" of black vel
vet laced over at the side with cords In Roman ef
fect. Tulle sleeves and ruche finish the waist and
four super imposed flounces of the tulle are set
above the aatln underskirt. A second note of the
new season is sounded in the scalloped hem of the
underskirt, which permits the silk clad ankles to be
definitely In evidence. RITA BTUYVE8ANT.
A lot if a-lrla ar returning from their

with request
for "something

A few years ngo, when it waa the cus
tom to go without hat at the seashore
and at the mountains, the majority of
girls no abused thl fashion thHt at the
cpd of the summer their face mere aa
rnnth as we would expect to
find in a foot ball player XI took months.
In some caea a year's treatment, to get
.kin Jn a normal condition, and In
the cae of older women I doubt it the
skin ever recovered from so severe a
burning.
The hatleasi erase seems on the wane
and girla have learned that sorrow fol
lows long exposure of the unprotected
face. Hut they have evidently to lern
this leaaon all over again In regard to the
throat
In the first place there Is nothlrax to
shade the throat and neck, the hat brim
la too far away. Tbe skin of the' neck
Is so fine and delicate, naturally bo white,
that I hate to see it exposed, as I have
een It croeslng the ocean tnis summer
or going down the Rhine, to the steady,
constant effect of the sun's rays. I no
ticed some few wise women wrapped thin
scarfs about the neck and snouiaers
when wearing a thin blouse in the sun
shinebut it is foolish virgins we are
considering now.
imrtiinatalv. the action of skin shed
ding is always going on, and there are
whiter 'ng creams and eootnuig toiiei io
.in. t will lubrioate the dry area of
skin that the sun has too 'warmly ca
ressed, and, little by little, the whiteness
snd moist softness of the natural akin
will return. But don't let the, lesson be
forgotten.
Sunburn, as has been sold over and
over again In those columns, can be very
largely avoided, or Its bad effects at
least mitigated, by probsotln the skin
with a good cold cream and a covering
nf rwwdr.
. Now for a little advice In regard to the
condition of the scalp and hair.; The
natural ahedillng of the hair continues all
the year, but It seems to be more heavy
in the autumn. This natural falling
should not oocaslon any alarm, but make
sure it Is the natural' falling and not due
(o any diseased or torpid scalp condition.
The girl or woman who has passed the
summer In town, subject to excessive
heat, la particularly exposed to scalp
trouble now, for the acidity In persptra
tlon often produces dandruff and even
ecsema. A dandruff-Infested scalp will
not only causa the hair to fall, but pre
vent new hair from growing, a moat dan
gerous condition at this time of the
year when we expect to start a crop of
new hair.
Tr nrl ti ff that nMM fmm
s4ve perspiration Is apt to be of the flaky
oily kind thnt leaves the scalp red and
Irritated when removed. In treating this
remember never to scrape the dandruff
away with the fingers or a comb before
thoroughly softening It with vaseline or
sweet oil.
The night before a shampoo go over the
calp It Is better to have someone do
this for you and rover all the dandruff
spots with either of the lubricants men
tinned above. Let this remain all night
and In the morning shampoo with pure
white rastlle soap, using a fine bath
spray vigorously afterwards, not only to
rinse the shampoo mixture from the hair,
but to Invigorate the scalp.
When the scalp Is perfectly dry apply
a tonic containing either resort-In or
bichloride of mercury; these are both
specifics for dandniff. It there are any
Inflamed red spots cover them with dry
boric arid.
The hair should be well brushed dally.
shaken out and the scalp well aired. Take
care that the brush and comb are scrupu
lously clean.
If the dandruff la of the kind that Irri
tates the .scalp. I do not think much
scalp massime advisable. Cure should 'be
tnken not to l:rltate trie scalp.
Tho head should be treated to a aham-
oc as often as the dandrtr: collects, and.
rememlier ,to keep tho scalp always aired
and clean..
There la another form of scalp trouble
prevalent now that la the direct result of
the drying effect of a hot sun, or of eea
or fresh water bathing when the hair has
been allowed to become wet. The scalp
Irx kn white, is covered wt a dry white
sevrf, and the hair begin- to lose color
cr.d appear lifeless,
When the scalp Is in this condition it
calls for dally masnage with' the finger
tips moletened wtth vaseline or sweet
oil.
A shampoo once a fortnight ia usees-
sary, followed by a thorough spraying of
the hair with, the bath spray, using first
very warm and then cold water until the
scalp Is pink and glowlpg. If the dandruff
la heavy, use a dandruff specific anea
tloned above, If not, frictlo with eau.
de cologne or bay rum.
Brown bands are the Inevitable result
of a summer spent out of doors. . .With
young girls this condition Is not serious,
but with older women sunburn means a
drying of the skin and preparlng.lt for
premature wrinkles that mark age an the
hands as quickly as they do about the
Hps or eyes. , ' ... '

That Bubble Reputation
ABy BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
gome years ago I spent an afternoon
in the woods with a crowd of girls of my
own age. We had alt brought our fanpy
work and contributions of candy and nuts
and vtre prepared for an afternoon of
simple enjoyment. Suddenly one of , the
glrl - I mentioned a - certain pretty .girl
named Orape. All ,but one. of us knew
her aad presumably liked, her.' Bald the
first speaker: ' . , .
"Oh, Grace Is well enough If only' she
weren't se affected." -
"Is she affected? I didn't know that,
but of course sbe is awfully selfish about
sharing her good times with her younger
sisters," excalmed the second girl.
"Really t Well bo wonder she has good
times," added girl number three right
eously. "She runs after all the Influen
tial rich people who will entertain her."
Then up spoke the fourth. "I didn't
know she bothered to cater to any. one
but the men, and goodness knows she
is forward enough with them."
And each of us bad learned some new,
unpleasant thing abc" Ors.ce te add to
any personal criticism we might have
made ef her in the silence of our own
hearts. But in addition to all this, the
girl who had never met her waa preju
diced agalnat her, and those of us who
liked her best could scarcely help wonder
ing if all this smoke could be without any
fire.
Bo easily is the bubble reputation
pricked. And aa lightly as a good repu
tation Is destroyed, so easily Is a had one
created out of mere bubbles blown by
idle and thoughtless people.
The malicious soul who deliberately
slanders' another is fairy a murderer. He
takes a good name, and whether It be
mere theft or killing Uiat he Indulges in
to pass the time and satisfy his own
spiteful nature, the result, of his woik is
equally cruel and harmful. ;
. But people who do this are ao despicable
that they destroy their own Influence.
Everyone fears them. No one trusts
them. Consequently the person of whom
tbey tell their evil tales is In some wise
protected, because every one knows how
little faith can be placed In the word of a
scandalmonger.
But words are such dangerous weapons.
They lodge somewhere and work harm
when their presence Is almost forgotten.
Borne day you may . remember what you
have heard. breathed against some one,
even though you have forgotten whether
or not the person Who said It is reputable
authority aad to be trusted. . : , .
Don't get the habit of insinuating things
sgalnat people. Don't tell of the weak
nesses and follies of the people you know.
Each" time you call a new person's atten
tion to a fault n a mutual acquaintance,
you definitely hurt their standing in the
community.
Lightly and' easily people destroy good
nsmes that they can. never restore. For
lack of something better, to talk about,
we .destroy ope another's credit and
standing In the community.' And what
doea it profit us to take away a reputa
tion? People begin to doubt and question
us as gossips and ill-natured individuals
of whom it would be well to beware. And
we have nothing gained except a sour
and warped view-point that enjoys bear
ing the worst of human nature and think
ing more evil than it has heard.
