SOFT AND WHITE HANDS.
woman whose pretty hands ale being
ruined by washing in hard water writes to
ask remedy. Water can be easily softened
with lew drops of ammonia or, what is
better, small piece of lump borax. Warm
water into which enough borax has been
dissolved to make the water feel a little
slippery when pressed between the thumb
and ringer IS very good for washing the
hands: Hands kept dirty are never smooth

sary. Many people who do not work wash
their hands but seldom The DAVIS accu-
mutation of dirt is allowed to remain on
the hands all night Upon rising the hands

wonders why, when she does no
work, her hands do not look any
better, if as well, as her chamber
maids. The hands should always
be washed in warm soapsuds before going
to bed. White soaps are safest. High

almost Invariably made from rancid
and lli-smeliing fats. After the hands are
thoroughly dried use a few drops of
mixed glycerine and camphor, which the
druggist can prepare for you. Drop into
the palm of the hand and rub on the
hands. This will be all that will be neces-

CULTIVATION OF STYLE AND TASTE.
Style is gift OF temperament and car
riage, cultivated by the clever use of ones
eyes. 1t is the refinement of taste that does
not wear cloth to an afternoon reception,
or jetted wrap on a shopping tour. 1t is
difficult to some in velvet, and easy to
others in plain cashmere. 1t furnishes the
good sense that puts the woman of 80 into
quiet colors or black. 1t would not permit

and checked CATERS on the feet of woman

No blueness of blood nor insignia of caste
nor ariStocracy of intellect can palliate an
oiIense like this against the laws of fashion.

| BEAUTY is " ROYALTY IN FORCE
Beauty has been the delight and torment
of the world ever since it began. The
philosophers all felt its influence, and they
have bequeathed TO US in their writings in
Vulnerable illusions of beauty, which
show us that they, too, well know the
power of it. One mas told It's that "a
graceful person is more powerful recon-.

writ in your favor" Another calls it - a

TWO KINDS OF GIRLS.
One is the kind that appears best abroad
the girls that are good at parties, rides.
visits, balls, ETC.. and whose chief delight
is in such things. The other is the kind
that appears best at home-the kind that
are useful and cheerful in the dining room,
sick-room and all the precincts of home
They differ widely in character. One is
often a torment at home, the other q bless

about her; the other is a sunbeam, in
spring light and gladness all around her
pathway. To which of these classes do
you belong Home Visitcr.
