THE PENSACOLA JOURNAL, FRIDAY MORNINGFEBRUARY 16, 1912. 5 !eople and Events By Bonnie Burnham. jTHE POMPADOURS FLUTTER TO EARTH THIS' iiiAK AS DAINTY VALENTINES. .Th Pompadours, who, as everybody knows, are a crowd of mystic fairies veil able to come to earth each year In any ruise they choose, suddenly ap r eared last nigrht as the shades of evening were falling, right at the San Carlos hotel. If you please, where the ball room, receiving the magical touch f many fairy fingers, awaited their coming. How they came, from whence, and Just when, no mortal could tell, but on they came all the same, pretty and fresh from the Royal Land of Prlscus, tretty, fussy, little old-tlmey love messages, everyone of them, In . their valentine costumes. The ball room had been fancifully decorated in countless red hearts, true lovers' knots, pink roses and smilax, rrany of the larger and more experi enced looking hearts having been ruth lessly pierced with golden arrows. The classic white pillars, each lost In a lovely bower of green, bore also their burden of hearts, red, all of them, and pulsating .with seeming tender ness. . , . ' The electric effects made the scene a truly beautiful one, suggestive, in deed, of the St. Valentine days of old, when we all sent fluted pink and blue things, trimmed with certain promis cuous doves. Th. stage this year represented a huge old-fashioned lace-paper valen tine, with its forget-me-not trimmings, Its doves and cupids,, and generally gorgeous designing. . Electric lights sparkled among the trimmings, and on either side were two large French flower baskets, fashioned of gilt, filled with flowers and electric drops of fresh morning dew. The red-shaded chandeliers, the spirit of Bt. Valentine everywhere, and the pretty opening music played by the San Carlos Ladles' orchestra, made the Introductory part of the Pompadours ball, too, unusually pic turesque. .-' The figures in the stage valentine were soon the subject of the full at tention of everyone, for there was the Queen of the Pompadours, all In her queenly beauty; there was her king, who had Just been chosen quietly from among the guests, and there was Cupid himself, the love-Imp who Is responsi ble for so many, many things of the 'earth, and among the mystical Pom padour maids as well. The queen, who was charming Miss Cora Louise Simpson, wore the regu lation costume of the evening worn by all the Pompadours, a sky blue princess slip with & red heart bodice, bands of hearts on her skirts and Valentin tinsel everywhere. The cap was a little red poke ef fect, with tinsel, white gloves', black mask and - black silk slippers and stockings completing the costume. She carried a large bouquet of red carnations. The king was quickly recognised as Mr. Wilmer Hayward. the dainty little Caridrwlth hi true little love- god costume and his' arrows,' being pretty little Catherine Turner. The queen then waved a sceptre of hearts and at her command, eight special dancers, all masked and all Pompadour Maids, whose identity will always remain a Mardi'Gras secret, came forth to dance before the king, for his royal entertainment, this pret ty feature of (the evening being round ly applauded. i Contrary to their annual custom, the Pompadours chose no maids nor no dukes this year, the lovely valentine tableau and the special dancers being the leading features of the evening. After the dances, the remaining members of the Pompadours, all, of course,, as valentines,, began threading Three Beauty Aids Women Should Know (From French Beauty Monthly.) "Any woman who wants to have lovely and beautiful hair can do so If she will use a dry shampoo once a week. Just put a cupful of oornmeal In a fruit Jar and mix with It an orig inal package of therox; sprinkle a litt'e on the head, and brush out. It brushes out easily, taking all dirt with it, and leaving the hair clean, bright wavy and full of life. This treatment causes hair to grow. "To avoid enlarged pores, dark and discolored blotches, wrinkles, super fiuout hairs and blemishes of com plexian, stop using fancy cosmetics and apply each morning only tho simple lotion' made by dissolving an origtoal package of mayatone in half a ptat of witch-hazel. Do this, ana youj complexion coon will be soft, smroth and altogether charming. "Worry Is a beauty destroyer. If thre are children in your home, don't borrow trouble, but prepare for emer treacles by keeping at hand a Jar of Mthers Salve. The world never saw its equal as a healer of cuts, burns, bruises, sores, sprains and aches, it Is splendid for sore throat or croup, tee."

To these favored partners, gold initial scarf pins fashioned in honor of the club, inter-twined with tiny arrows were given as favors, the king being presented with a scarf pin pre senting a royal crown of pearls. After the first three dances, the ball took the form of a Leap Year dance, with the pretty maskect Pompadours in possession of the situation, as they sought out their partners. The Valentine dance of the Pompa dours Mystic Society this year proved, indeed, one of the prettiest and dainti est of the many beautiful ideas which have . found expression in former dances given by the ladies, .the San Carlos ball Voom being r. a thing of woodland beauty , and sweet-heart thoughts of valentine days gone by. Those receiving were Mrs. TVV J. Forbes, Mrs. K. T. Goodwloe, Mrs. L. Hilton Green, Mrs. W. IC Hyer, Mrs. John Merritt, . Mrs. Horace Simpson, Mrs. J. ' C. Avery. Mrs. M. A. Quina, Mrs. Lewis Willis. Mrs. T. C. (Watson, Mrs. Attalia Mallory, Mrs. J. E. Turtle. After the ball, the cafe was filled with Pompadour supper parties until two o'clock, the San Carlos Ladies' orchestra, which had also furnished the splendid music for the dance, add ing to the merriment of the evening with appropriate selections. MY SONG. I sing a song that is bright with Joy, As over the earth it rings, A song so sweet it can never cloy. And peace to the ad one brings. The old, old story, but ever new, Of Jesus, who fop- us died, ! Who gave His life for me and for you . Of Christ and Him crucified. A song that carries a message sweet To palace, hovel and all. To kings that rule, and people that greet - , . . The beggar outside the hall. A song of glory, that sounds afar ' O'er the world's majestic tide, . The baby born 'neath the eastern star Of Christ and Him crucified. I sing of love that can never fall, "A river of life, and free To all that would of Its Jpower avail, And ask upon bended knee. A love so precious it conquers death, The terrible cross defied. The thorn-covered . head and the anguished breath . Of Christ and Him crucified.. Our Savior then and our Savior now, Who comes from His home on high, And puts His hand on the mourner's brow. And hears e'en the feeblest cry. I sing of Him, with a heart aflame, For His arms are open wide. And hell shrinks back at the precious rEf-- name . - . Of Christ and Him crucified.' And this be my song in all the years That may keep my soul on earth, .-, No matter how rough the way appears. No matter how void of mirth. The storms may gather, and dark the night. I'll trust Him whate'er betide And follow, no matter how long the light -V Of Christ and Him crucified. v The wreath of fame has no charm for me. For wealth I cars not a Jot, Content whatever my fate may be If never by Him forgot. My hope and my faith are placed above, . And this be Vny joy and pride. To sing the mercy, and wondrous love Of Christ and Him crucified. HAMILTON J AT. Meeting of the browning club. The I Browning dlub met yesterday afternoon at the usual place.

DR. BISBEE A SAN CARLOS VISITOR. Dr. Eisbee, editor of the Universalis Leader of Boston, Mass., is making his headquarters at the San Carlos during his present visit here, where he will be gad to receive his friends. He spoke to an especially apprecia tive audience at the. First Universalist church last night, his subject being "The Place of the Christian Church in Modern Life." He goes from here to DeFunlak Springs. YOUR FUTURE COMPLEXION. ' , . "It our modern girls ever think ahead, I wonder what their vision is of themselves at 85 or 40?" said a man the other day. "My own mother kept her beautiful complexion until she was an old woman. Her only cosmetic was cream, which Bhe put on to cure sunburn, and she was as fresh as a rose until she was 80. Now the girl who is young believes that at 85 or 40 she will be too old to care what kind of- S sjfinjshe has, but she won't be too old. She is much more , likely to be desperate about the condition of her looks at 40 than she is at 18. At 18 the average girt has a fairly good skin, but in these days she is not content with what she has. She wants either to be pinker or whiter, and so the top of her dressing table is filled with little potsf of cream and rouge and powder, and she is learning the art of "makeup, which carried to the extreme, makes her look like the worst efforts of a French impressionist. I saw in the railroad station the other day a strange' woman, hardly nor than a - girl, who, I found out afterward, had come from foreign lands to bs featured In a certain the atrical performance. She was very slender and1 very dark. Her skin was unnaturally whitened. Her lips were deep scarlet. There were blue shadows about her eyes, and, beautiful as she was. she had the weird beauty of some creature of a nightmare rather than the radiance of a lady of dream a Now,, what of that girl ten years Krom now? She will simply be ' down nd o'ut." No complexion can stand such treatment. And is it worth while to be a. beauty for a year and a hag the rest of your life? One can have some sympathy with the older women who try to repair the ravages of time by the artistic touches which will hide their wrinkles c-r tone up their sallow skins, but the young girl with all her equipment of satin smoothness of cheek and of dainty coloring is ex tremely foolish when she covers up her greatest attraction .with pig ments. Perhaps ray statement may seem ex aggerated, but no woman who has watched a half-dozen of sixteen year old girls make up their complexions in the waiting rooms of railorad .sta tions or department stores can help being appalled by the -satisfaction with which the little rouge rags and powder puffs are applied. Once upon a time we hid our aids to beauty. Now we let the whole world know, and while we may be free in this age from the sin of deception we are in a fair way to bring about a generation of tpalnted old women. The girl 1 who would like to have her future complexion something more than a mask of wrinkles and sallow ness should begin now to value the natural aids to beauty. Correct diet, plenty of exercise, an intelligent mind, all have their Influences on the com plexion. I know that some people will laugh at the statement that Intell'erence of mind has anythfng to do with beauty of skin. It Is the wise woman, how ever, who knows that brains can bring about most things, and she who uss her brains in the acquiring of loveli- reckle February Brings Out Unsightly Spots.
