A great deal can be done toward having

friction can increase in energy. The skin
n becomes, not tougher, but more resistant.
If the rubbing is too hard at first, how
ever, it is liable TO produce redness and
pimpies. Even slight friction will do this
at times on an unaccuStomed skin. But the
treatment should be presevered in, neVerthe-

nurlly fine aud smooth.
One of the newest amusements for young

terfy is suspended from the center of the
ceiling, made on wire framework, each
wing about eighteen inches. The wings are
covered with yellow tale paper. The paper
must be creased as for lamp shades by draw

A woman will often stand more from a
parrot than she will from ter husband, saws

Che former is fashionable and cah afford to

is treasured by lady whose home on Fifth
avenue is the scene during every winter
season of the most elaborate of all the
snowy dances, and whose Newport residence
M is the rendezvous for those ultra-fashionable
who are entirely in the swim. The parrot
always travels with his mistress and will
condescend to eat sugar from her fingers.
1t was at Newport recently that
the valued bird asserted itself
in way that quite disgraced its
owner. A caller at the lady's house, who,
1t is said, was no other than the great arbiter
OF good taste and director of etiquette,
Ward McAllister, was talking about din

pears that he had an entirely new idea in
The serving OF some especial dish, and was
expatiating upon it at great length TO his
hostess. He described in detail his entire
plans, much a general might explain his
pioposed maneuvers in forthcoming battle.

The newest Alpine hat. says the New
