band around her throat that soap and
water will not remove even if prayer
accompanies it. The finer your skin
The more difficult is this mark to get of,
I'D it is usually best done as they re-
conimeQd at the Turkish bath-by the
uss of lemon; just halve it and rub
the raw part around your throat exact

are determined not to get rheumatism,
and so you wear black silk underwear.
No matter how expensive it is. no mat

ed. wherever your stays or a belt band
press against it you are marked-not
necessarily for life, but until you get
somebody to scrub you of with a small
brush. Half the women go to the
Russian bath to get these marks of
thcm. because the gentle vapor and the
hard rubbing will soon cause them to
disappear. Half the women in New
York would ask if they dropped dead
on the street that their clothes might
not be taken of them, and the reason
can be understood.-N y. Sun.

Tho Thfnlble in History.

Lady. did you ever take the trouble
to look up the history of the curious
little bell-shaped indented piece of met
al you wear on your finger when sew
ing and which You are contented to
cali your .'thimble?" 1t is a Dutch in
vention, and was taken to England in
1895 BY one John Lofting. Its name
was derived from the words thumb and
bell, being for a long time worn on
that member. and called the thumbel;
only within the last $50 years has the
word "evoluted" into thimbie. All
records say that the tumble was first
worn on the thumb, but we can scarce
ly conceive how they would be of much
use there. Formerly they were made
of brass and iron only. but of late years
steel. silver, gold, horn. ivory, cellu-
loid, and even pearl and glass have
been used in their manufacture. A
owned by the queen consort of
Siam is shaped like a lotus. of solid
gold. thickly studded with diamonds.
which are so arranged as to form the
lady's name and the date of her birth
and marriage. Queen Victoria has
very valuable gold and diamond set
upon which are engraved
many historical scenes from English
history.
