Treatment of Tender Feet.

Tender feet are very commonly COM
planned of. Harper's Bazaar recommends the
following treatment: "The first considera
ton for this difficulty is absolute cleanli-
ness. Friction, what is called the Roman
bath'-otherwise rubbing vaseline or oil
thoroughly into every joint-a quick rub
over with alcohol, in some cases cold spray
at bedtime, all are useful; while, should the
difficulty seem natural and chronic, the
best relief is afforded by wearing firm cot
ton (not silk) stockings, and shoes or boots
made for the comfort and support of the
feet. Aromatic vinegar is good wash in
these cases, Where cold water agrees with
the system an excellent method of strength
ening the foot is to hold it in basin, and,
dipping a large sponge in cold water,
squeeze it from height of three or four
inches above onto the foot, rubbing after
ward with alcohol to avoid chill; but it
must be borne in mind that to some consti-
buttons the application of cold water on the
feet induces rush of blood to the head.
Cold water congresses on the feet and
around the ankle at night, we may men,
tion in passing frequently act as a sleep
ing draft. A well known foreign gen.
eral, who from mental worry suff ered
greatly with insomnia, told us he cured it
by this MEANS while the application served
to strengthen his feet. Some constitutions
require hot applications. Only knowl-
edge of the system and its idiosyncrasies
can determine this point; but little ex-
perimenting will teach one what is best
to do"

FIVE O'CLOCK TEA.

Hints About Correct Form in Costume,
Invitations, Card Leaving, Etc.
For o'clock tea reception dress or
dinner gown is the approved costume for
the hostess and ladies receiving with her,
according to Good Housekeeping, though
a simpler afternoon dress, or even an es-
pecially pretty tea gown is often substi-
tuted The guests, on the other hand. in
variably come in street dress, retaining
bonnet and gloves, and if the rooms are
crowded and the call is to be but a brief
one, oftentimes even the cloak is not laid
aside. A dressing room should always be
provided, however, with maid at hand to
assist the guests with their wraps; and the
woman who has care for her health will
gladly avail herself of the opportunity to
throw off her cloak. Many severe cold
was contracted last winter by neglecting
this precaution. The American drawing
room is very apt to be overheated, and it
stands to reason that a room tempered to
the comfort of ladies in reception dress
will be insufferable to the guest who has
retained her cloak and has swallowed
cup of hot tea. She will be fortunate
should she escape chill on returning to
her carriage.
A series of these informal teas often
proves most convenient means of intro
ducing a guest to ones friends, says the
authority already quoted, when the invita-
ton will read thus:

Cross Stitch Embroidery.

In cross stitch embroidery the great thing
is to cross all the stitches one way and even
ly. The manner of executing this simple
work is described as follows by The House
keeper: From the left hand corner of one
of the squares bring up the needle and
thread, then in slanting direction, that
is taking it across the square to the top Of
the right hand side, you pass the needle
down, this forming the first or under part
Of the stitch. Then comes the upper
stitch, forming cross, from which it takes
its name, which you do thus: Bring the
needle up TO the top left hand cor
ner and pass it down through the right
hand corner, when you will have formed
the complete stitch, and this, through be
ing repeated in designs and various colors,
forms most attractive and quickly exc
cuted decorations for nearly everything.
Zone of the prettiest articles made with
cross stitch is bureau cover of THU sheer
linen something like scrim. For distance
of eighteen inches above the end, every
third thread neach direction is pulled out,
leaving background of small squares,
two threads deep and two threads broad
This represents canvas on which the de-
sign is worked in rope linen fioss-pink,
blue and brown, with q little pale olive
green--the colors being mingled and ar
ranged so as to initiate the work seen in
Cretan and Turkish embroideries."

THE TONGUE AS A ResPlaAToR.

One Plan to Follow When Facing a Cold
East Wind or Breathing the Night Air.
A writer in The Lancet says: sit is not
generally known that nature has provided
each of us with the best respirator always
at hand in the tongue. For years have
personally relied on this alone, and have
recommended this proceeding to many pa
tients. When facing cold east wind or
breathing quickly the night air never
quite close my mouth, but purposely keep
the lips trife parted and at the same
time curl up my tongue toward the roof of
my mouth until the tip reaches as far back
as the soft palate. and l gently press the
arched under surface of the tongue in some
degree against the hard palate "a little
practice soon makes this easy to do). The
cold air then, as it enters the mouth,
strikes against the under surface of the
tongue as we'll as the floor and sides of the
mouth. and is made to pass in somewhat
circuitous manner between the sides of the
tongue and the buccal mucus membrane
of the pharynx, being thereby warmed in
its course, so that by the time it reaches
the larynx it is nicely rid of chill and does
not excite cough and catarrh. At the same
time certain quantity of air of course
finds it's way through the nasal passages
to the chest, and it is obvious that larger
quantity of cold air can be effectually
warmed by this method of procedure than
by relying on either the nose or mouth
alone. That the large blood supply of the
tongue renders this organ an excellent air
warmer must be obvious to all"

That Tempt to Sleep with the Odor of
Dried Sweet Blossoms and Herbs.
''Slumber pillows are among the latest
fads and nothing can be more attractive"
says The Decorator and Furnisher, which
describes them as follows: "Many Of them
are made of white linen in order that they
can be Numbered easily. They are usually
embroidered in wash linens or silks, and
have on them some appropriate quotation
and spray of flowers. A dainty one has
maidenhair ferns gracefully embroidered
on it. On another is wild roses. This
last named one is filled with rose leaves
gathered during the rose season and is very
fragrant. One is filled with sweet violets
and has bunch of them on the cover.
Others are filled with dried hops, herbs,
grasses or down. Some of them are round,
with puff Of the same all around and
laced with a cord over the puff. Others
are square, with the corners coming to-
gether on one side with puff underneath.
All sorts of odd and quaint shapes and
styles are seen.
"Afghans or slumber robes are needed the
year round to throw over one while taking
a nap or reclining in the hammock. Very
attractive ones can be knit of two con-
trasting colors in stripes and put together
with crocheted cord. They can be finish
ed with fancy edge or tied fringe.
"Others equally pretty are crocheted at
CHAN stitch, and have alternate stripes of
plain black and Roman ones. These are
put together with fancy cord showing
the shades of red. green and black and fin
ished with heavy fringe, which is tied
three times. Five or seven stripes are used.
For child's afghan five is sufficient"

A very nice paste is made from apple
juice, with enough of ounces to give a
pleasant flavor, boiled to solid jelly, with
but lutte sugar. Let it boil in stoneware,
then simmer and finish in covered dish
in the oven. The English method of max
ing fruit pastes is to thicken the crushed
fruit with sugar and scald it only and dry
on platters set in an oven but slightly
warm. or in the sun. Sirups made from
the clear fruit juice are especially delight
full, and grape juice boiled down to nice,
clear strip is an excellent thing in sick
ness A bag of fine crash makes good
strainer used with wooden hand press.
Nothing is used but the pure juice, which
should be boiled down till it becomes a
thick, clear strip. Juice cooks best in the
oven, as stoneware holds the heat and there
is less danger of burning the contents than
with any other ware.

Thursdays in October
Five O'Clock Tea
No. 81 Grove Avenue.

1t is not incumbent upon those attending
the tea to call afterward, in acknowledge
ment of the hospitality extended them.
Either on entering or leaving the house
each guest leaves a card upon a salver In
the hall provided for that purpose. The
invitation to tea is treated like an invita-
ton to call, and the obligation rests with
the hostess to call upon her guests after
ward. In case of series of teas, should
one lie unable to attend any of them, card
should be sent to the last of the number,
and visit should be paid the hostess as
soon as practicable thereafter.

A Crocheted Afghan.

An Afghan which goes Off very fast in
the working is made Of shades Of red Ger
mantown. The Ladies' Home Companion
gives the following directions for working
it, with very coarse hook chain 1876
stitches. Work in double crochet Gnsert
hook in stitch, draw yarn through, then
through two stitches on hook; work
always into back part Of stitch to give a
ribbed effect. At the seventh stitch of the
chain work two stitches into one stitch; at
the fourteenth, miss one. This alternate
widening and narrowing gives vandyke
effect. Finish with heavy fringe Crochet
shells on the sides. White and pale blue
makes an effective afghan for baby;
make three stripes white and three stripes
blue, alternately. If softer effect is
wished, used saxony."

Celluloid artificial eyes are cheaper than
those of glass and have good appearance;
but DIR. Meurer, of Lyons, says that after
three or four months they are liable to
cause serious irritation, probably as the re-
suit of some chemical change. He has re-
peatedly seen this Inflammation allayed by
simple antiseptic treatment after the re-
moval of the celluloid, but reappearing,
however. as soon as the old eye was rein
