ones feet, and chiropodists and masseurs to
treat one for the dlessfatigue of the occa-
sion. Not that shall adventure myself IN
reach Of that eminent weariness, for that
Philadelphia Fair left me with wholesome
dread of it. By the way, whether the JOINTS
are enlarged or not, nothing puts the feet In
nicer trim than soaking them in hot sea
water daily. 1 have footbath brought
my room every night, and dabble my Tee
In it comfortably five or ten minutes while
1 read my novel The novel takes the MIND
off anything less agreeable, the bath draws
the blood from the brain, and leaves tine
feet feeling rested and SO elastic 1t. Is
pleasure to walk on them next morning. -.
Why is it nobody takes special care OF
the feet unless it is professed pedestrians,
walking to break a record? People never
seem to do anything for the love OF 1t any
more There must always be competition
OF some sort to get up an interest. A loot
that is well cared for will be higher In tine
lnstep and have lighter step through LIE.
This is a seasonable request: "W1u You
tell me some remedy for perspiring hands!
ruin pair of gloves the first time wear
them if it is the least warm"
THE SORT OF GLOVES FOE SUMMER
Hundreds of women have the same
trouble. Really, tho only glove for sum-
mer is the fine woven glove of linen lace
thread, which clings as glove ought to,
and surpasses any sewed kid glove In ut.
Such gloves are e1quisitely cool and elastic,
but you never see them this sidethe water,
though large hands look smaller in them
than in any other. Perspiring hands
should be washed very clean with warm or
hot water and fine soap, wiped dry and then
wet with linen cloth dipped in weak alum
water. A teaspoonful of alum, dissolved in
q pint of boiling water and bottled when
cool, will last a week. Let the alum water
dry on the hands without wiping, then pour
little cologne on them, which is cooling
and dries in minute, dust with tale pow
der thickly, and you will probably wear
your gloves a second time. There is 8
lotion for this very purpose which corrects
the moisture of the hands and scents them
slightly, and 1t is worth its weight in
gloves, but I am sorry I can't give it to
you.
The girl with freckles wants, first Of all,
to be careful what toilet soap she uses.
Strong soaps dispose the skin to freckle, tan
and grow hairy. Positively. Don't ask
why, for it is boon enough to know these
matters without knowing Just why.
We can afford to learn reasons afterward-
SHE KNOWS FROM SAD EXPERIENCE.
But know, out on the wilderness in Mani
toba, where we could not get laundress for
weeks, I washed my handkerchiefs and
stockings and things myself-oh, I should
like to see the necessity I was not equal to
and my hands would freckle at once after
using laundry soap. 1 would bleach them
by washing the backs with tablespoonful
of chloride of lime in pint of hot water,
used as soon as it settles clear, sponging the
skin till it whitens, and rinsing in water
acidulated with lemon juice or vinegar, and
keeping them white with cerate afterward
1t is easy enough ii to prevent freckles; not 30
easy to cure them.
The girl with warts should get bottle Of
salicylic acid, 10 to 20 per cent strength, and
wet the warts every time she thinks of it.
This will eat away common moles painlessly
with patience, and Is harmless. You want
to take these things with you when you 60
away for the summer An ounce of salicylic
acid solution will last the season.
1t is said by very good authorities that a
castor oil plant growing in pot will keep
flies out Of a room, and it is worth trying,
and preferable to fly poison. A room
filled with vapor of the aromatic germicides
will not invite mosquitoes or flies. The
no1ious odors it displaces draw flies of the
worst sort. What an unutterable relief it
is this season to miss those same fearful
odors in railway waiting rooms and shops,
and get instead the clean scent of pine, mint
and eucalyptus in the purifying mixtures.
They are an improvement even on tar cam
phor. I'm surprised you don't like tar
camphor. I thought most people were fond
of it by the quantities we smell of it. 1t al
ways suggests very bad case of disease to
me-
"How can rather slender girl get nd ot
a double ohin?"
WORD BoR TAR-CAMPHoR.
It Is matter of carrying the head high
Battle the throat and jaws with lotion OF
half salt water and half brandy, brushing
the flesh upward with the palm wet with
the lotion. At night wear band of single
linen passing under the chin and fastened on
the top of the head. Pressure will reduce
flesh if kept up. The stout hips of which
women complain may be reduced gradually
by bathing with cold salt water, made very
strong by cool sitz baths daily and the use Of
Glauber's salts as laxative. Perhaps you
will respect the remedy more under the
chemical name of sulphate of magpesia,
which enters largely into the German min
eral waters prescribed for lessening flesh.
VIRTUES OF PRosAIC GLAUBER SALT.
A Boston druggists window for weeks
lately bore the frank Acknowledgement:
"Overstocked with the Marienbad reduction
pills, we are offering them at reduction. -
They have been selling at 81 box, but now
give place to Carlsbad pills for a time, while
the wise keep their dollar and buy ten cents
worth of Glauber's salts, the mildest and
safest of saline aperients, and reap just as
much benefit.
By the way, cranberry phosphate Is the
latest of summer beverages, and there is a
new chewing gum for dyspeptics, and, as DR..
Shoemaker, of Philadelphia, editor of two
or three medical magazines, says that chew
ing gum really is beneficial in no contempti-
BILE degree in that disease, it is probable the
habit will take its place with the use of
mint drops after the icecream at dinner, and
plain soda after that Nobody has any
business to affront humanity by chewing
gum before another, and nobody has any
right to object if gum is chewed in private.
So long as good bread is thing of the past
society will have to put up with alleviatlons
for dyspepsia SHIRLEY DARE.
