1t is stated by an exchange that two
women in Albuquerque, n. NJ, have gone
insane from excessive use OF cosmetics
We are inclined to think that the real
cause of their insanity was lack OF brains.

A novel use for Japanese grass mats
sold for piazza seats has been discovered
by a clever young matron. Her husband
has just built summer home in the
Catskills, q so-called rustic cottage. The
walls are finished in rough plaster and
their bare aspect distressed the wife until
she relieved it. She put width of Jap
anese red paper straight around the
room as a frieze, and, on this fastened,
close enough to touch, these coil seat
cushions of grass. The effect is very
artistic and harmonious.
One who processes to have made a
study of the trance" or spells to which
some people are subject SAYS: Women
are very easy subjects for hypnotism,
especially those past forty years of age.
Little women with black eyes, abundant
black hair and thick eyebrows are more
favorable subjects than pale or Emphatic
ones, and nervous women are seldom
brought under the hypnotic influence.
Delicate, languishing women, especially
those with some chronic malady, submit
instantly to the mysterious influences of
this weird ar.

devised for the entertainment of dinner
| guests, the serving of salad grown under
the eyes of the guests VINO partake OF it.
The secret OF performing this magic feat
| lies in soaking good terminating lettuce
seed in alcohol for about six hours and
sowing it in an equal mixture OF I'M
! Stacked lime and rich soil. After the
| soup has been served sprinkle the seed
with lukewarm water and they will
sprout Immediately, the lettuce growing
to about the size of hazel nuts before the
time for serving the salad arrives.
There is one big don't" which nine
tenths of womankind might with adj
vantage hang up over their dressing-ta-
bles, says an exchange, and it is this:
| Don't smile perpetuallyW Is there
| anything more wearisome than the per-
son who uselessly expands and contracts
the lips over the teeth without mirth or
meaning, for that is what the continual
smile eventually becomes. Let any
woman stand before a mirror and attempt
to produce an animated smile of welcome.
She will be surprised at the witless grim
ace that will respond. That is what smil-
