and then tie the five or six inches OF bon
net over their back hair, bit of lace film
over their bangs, put on kid boots with
silk or thread stockings underneath, and
then dawdle along the pavement with bit
ter winds of winter shifting their temples,
their delicate ears, their throats and the
bases of what should be their brains. Such
care as this is not sensible. To be hand
some any woman must take care OF her
self Without health beauty is impossible.
Mrs. Annie Jenness-Miller has the
correct idea. The only way TO bring about
dress reform is to devise garments that are
more graceful and more beautiful than
those now in vogue. The average woman
considers it her first duty 20 look hand
some, and anything that assists or detracts
from that ends gets treated accordingly.
No sensible woman is going to make her
self look like trump simply for hygenlc
purposes.
A woman in Wadley, Ga, has become
grandmother at the age of 80. She mar
ried when only II, and her daughter has
done likewise.
Somebody says: '1f woman hates you
you may be sure she has loved you, loves
you now, or will love you"
BUY AT WHOLESALE.
Few people realize how much can be
saved by buying groceries in quantities.
To be sure, it necessitates the expendi-
ture of large sums at various times instead
of continuous small amounts of money,
and to people whose income Is small
weekly salary it is almost an impossibility.
The Bible says that 1.-THE destruction of
the poor is their poverty" and it is GER
tainly very true, for it is difficult thing
to be able, under such circumstances, to
buy the barrel of flour, which is cheaper
than the eight bags which it is supposed
to contain. In fact, barrel of -four con-
tains nearer nine bags than eight, one at
a time. A box Of soap will last a great
deal longer than the same number of
cakes or bars bought singly from the gro
cery. 1t is expensive, but it pays if one
has the money that can be expended for
that purpose alone. There is very little
economy in buying a barrel, or half
barrel of sugar; yet, in the preserving sea-
son, sugar brings a higher price than be-
fore or after it. People who live in the
country will do well to buy from a whole
sale or large retail city house, FIVE pound
box of tea of good quality, sack of
Drowned coffee, which kept in close recep-
ticles will retain its good qualities if fresh
ly ground each day. Add to these, spices
and tlavoring extracts, tin boxes of crack
ers, canned goods (salmon, lobster and sar-
dines), and anything else that is in fre-
quent demand. These groceries are much
fresher and better than country market
men carry, and by ordering a quantity
sufficient to fill barrel or large box, will
more than save expressage or freight in
the reduction obtained on the goods, for
these houses sell much lower than country
stores can afford to do.
