easily fooled and make a greater goose of her
self than anything else under creation. She is
the next thing to a saint and the next to |
devi-in either of these states she is bearable, |
and it is only when she combines the stupidity |
of one with the monkey-like naughtiness of the |
other that she becomes a social horror. Like |
women? OF course | like women very, very |
much, but Just because do like them 1t makes !
me uncomfortable to see what they can do
sometimes in the way of making themselves un-
pleasant.
WHAT SOME WOMEN WANT MOST.
At a dove dinner the other night the question
was asked: "If you only could have one thing
in this world which you might possess for the
wishing, what would it be ?" A slender blonde
had Andrew Lang's wish, ga house full of
books and garden full of flowers" abrunette,
whose dark eyes flashed from under picture
hat framed in roses smiled as she said: "Total
annihilation." tiny little woman, girlsh
enough looking to suggest that she ought to
wish for a doll baby, said: 81 want to know
what a protoplasm is" Another, woman
who looks like Mrs. Kendall asked for "Money,
for with that could get everything else"
woman who is one of the best writers in this
country, and who is happiest when she is sailing
in canoe, said: II wish that l wanted one
thing so much that would have to work hard
for it," She gave in way the Keynote to the
woman of this generation-a desire to be con-
tinually doing. Another, a woman who knows
what it is to have her body ache while the busy
brain is at work, said: "Give me health, and
will get everything else want" twas curious
that nobody wished for love, but If the truth
must be told each woman there believed she
had it.
woMAN's IDEAL MAN.
Another question that was started was:
"What is your ideal man." Summed up, he
seemed to be a combination of beauty and
brawn-possessing knowledge of protoplasms
and claret punches; knowing how 10 hold a
baby and not handing it at unfortunate times
over to its mother; being able to laugh with
you when you were merry and condole with you
when you were sad; possessing good looks and
good manners; being strong enough for you to
lean on, and yet not so strong but when he had
a woe worry he didn't want your sympathy.
But the best thing said came from the woman
who wanted to work for her wish. 'There is
but one ideal man in the world, and l married
him." / wonder il men are as complimentary
to women at stag party as these women were
to the men,
FOR ABEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION.
1t is now the time of year when we are all
more or less interested in our compilations.
The least sign of a spot or freckle means that
something is needed, and in any well-regulated
establishment that something is the one thing
certain to make you pure in and externally
| i. c., sulphur and molasses. 1 may be something
| of crank on this subject, but 1 regard it as
good for the living, and firmly believe that if
| a number of the dead had taken it they would
| be still alive. Get jelly glass with tin cover
| to it, In this put ten cents worth of sulphur,
| and then mix it until it is the consistency Of
| custard, using for this purpose light syrup.
| Take teaspoonful three mornings and then
stop three mornings, Don't stop at giving it to
Lily or Rose; if you have dog in the house let
| him have little for his stomach's sake and the
| gloss of his skin. l wish to testify it has
beautiful effect on fox-terrier. After you
| have taken your sulphur and molasses for about
| three weeks you will wonder how it ever was
| that sulphur was supposed to belong to the
| place under ground when it gives you a COM
| plexion close akin to that of the angels. 1t is
not bad to take, if you make up your mind to
it, and while you take dose think Of nothing
| but how beautiful your skin will be, and you
will not object to the slight grittiness which, l
must confess, does exist in this species Of am
| brosa.
| RULES FOR CLEAR SKIN.
Youwant to keep your skin nice all summer ?
| Well, then, here are some rules for you.
Don't bathe in hard water; soften it with a
few drops of ammonia or little borax.
Don't bathe your face while it is very warm,
and never use Uery cold water for it.
Don't wash your face when you are travelling,
unless it is with little alcohol and water or a
little vaselne.
Don't attempt to remove dust with cold water
give your face hot bath, using plenty of good
that has had the chill taken off of it.
Don't rub your face with coarse towel; jus
remember it is not made of cast-iron, and trea
it as you would the finest porcelain-gently and
delcately.
Don't a sponge or linen rag for your face
choose instead flannel one.
Don't believe you can get rid of wrinkles b.
filling in the crevices with powder. Insteat
give your face Russian bath every night-tha
is, bathe it with water SO hot that you wonde
how you can stand it, and then minute afte
with cold water that will make it glow will
warmth; dry it with soft towel and go to bed
and you ought to sleep like baby, while you
skin is growing firmer and coming from out O
the wrinkles and your rest BAB.
