JU "jazz" has slipped Into the English or rather, Into the American language like the mule of which Mark Twain wrote that it was "without p title of ancestry or hope of prttWity." Jazz Is not n derived word. It was coined and, according to Lieut. James Heese-Kurope, U. S. A., who conducted one of the jazziest jazz bands, It owes Its origin to a man named Uazz, whose musical organization was famous ln New Orleans some 15 years ago. Kazz is reputed to have been the first to realize the harmony and appealing quality which resides in saxo phones, trombones, snare drums and the like, when played with n snat) and (lash. So' he spe cialized In this kind of synco pated music and his fume spread' throughout the South, Imitators springing up In vari ous sections. One of these which toured Missouri mid the middle West, styled itself the "Jass-hnnd" slightly alteriiu; the name of the original lead er. In the course of n year or so the final "s's" were changed1" to "z's." Jazz-bunds made their appearance from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and "jazz" slipped Into the language and even into the dictionaries. (Copyright.) BEAUTY GHATS by Edna Kent Forbes "That Is because once I take to a tertain stle I like it so much that I have no desire to change It. In the summer time my head is gray with no white spots although there lire a few streaks at the hack of my head. "Now I also change other feathers besides my head feathers, Just as folks wear different winter coats from their summer coats. "1 w ill tell you how I dress at both times. In the summer as I said my head is gray and my hack is gray too. I have a large patch of chestnut brown feathers, on the front part of my neck. I have white touches underneath. "Now in the winter I have gray and white below but I have while spots up on my back. I think It Is nice to have something cheerful and attractive about one's dress in the winter time and so I have chosen this fashion and It Is the fashion I keep to and the one nil my family keeps to.

BLEMISHES ; UNHKU the head of serious blem ishes one should include such things as large birthmarks, smallpox marks, unsightly scars, powder and tattoo marks, and burns. All of these are curable, but unfortunately, those who are competent to cure them do not always live in the smaller cities, and so their services are lost to the greater part of the country. In a department like this It Is Im possible to' tell a woman exactly how' she may overcome such blemishes. Smallpox pits are removed by cov ering the outer skin with u loth i which dries it up so it may be pain lessly removed it peels off easily leaving a new, tender, unblemished skin beneath. For a time this skin is super-sensitive and needs especial care, but such complexions are usu ally beautiful and a delight to the women who have faced disfigurement otherwise. Birthmarks are cured eith er by a caustic or the electric needle treatment, the needle atrophying the tiny veins causing the ugly scar, and allowing tht! normal skin to form. What the Sphinx Says.

Serious troubles can be removed by expert treatment. Powder marks are removed by pierc ing the skin at each mark and inject ing peroxide, which cleans out the powder embedded in the cuticle.
