already in hand, with Shirley Dare's answers
to them:
DELLA-Kindly tell me something that
will make the teeth white. Prepared chalk
won't do.
No, chalk neutralizes acids about the
teeth, but does not whiten them. For this,
use the finest powdered charcoal, and
CASTLE soap, rubbing the toothbrush on the
soap, wet, and then dipping in the charcoal,
which should be kept in broad, shallow
box.
'Also something to rid the hair Of
dsndruff and make it grow thicker"
Three Treatments for the Hair.
You may take doctors advice and rub
vaseline fully over the scalp at night, and
comb it out with fine comb in the morn
ing. Nothing will make the hair thicker
and glossier than such treatment, while it
keeps the scalp clean. As the trouble dis
appears, the application may be made once
aweek. wash the scalp with soap-bark
and water, enough to make good lather,
rinse the hair and at night wet it thoroughly
with strong sage tea, a handful of sage to
three pints of water, boiled down to quart.
This also is excellent to darken the hair.
Southernwood boiled in olive oil, strained
and perfumed slightly will keep hair from
falling. "What will make my cheeks red?"
I am very pale, always eat baked apples
at nearly every meal or drink the juice of
stewed grapes several times a day, and
take sweet cider in which rusty nails have
been stepped over night, as q morning
draught. Drink a gill each day before
and rub cheeks with flannel several times 8
day, to direct the circulation of blood to the
surface.
To Smooth Down the Skin.
CICELY-Give me some remedy for rough
skin.
To keep the skin satiny and in good con-
dition, treat it as grooms care for horses, to
give them fine coat. Rub the skin twice
day, thoroughly as if you were grooming
yourself Good rubbing with brush or
bath mitten opens the pores of the skin,
circulates the blood to the extremities, pro-
duces fire and healthy perspiration, and
takes the place Of other exercise, 1t actually
makes the tissue of the skin finer, as leather
grows close in texture by working it with
the hands. Rough knit silk is the best for
friction to give fine finish to the skin, and
real toilet cerate leaves the face like velvet.
CHIT-What will make my eyelashes grow
long and full?
Moisten them at night with drop of
purest olive oil. This must be kept up
nightly for long time and will darken the
lashes as well as make them grow.
YOUNG Mrs. BROWN have several
pretty boxes, and other pieces in white,
unvarnished wood, but they show handling
easily. How can they be kept without
soil?
By rubbing with fine sandpaper which
removes every mark.
Getting Up Good Breakfast.
'Please give something easy and nice for
breakfast"
Shape cold boiled wheaton grits or oat-
meal into round cakes; beat one egg in
large cup of milk, dip the cakes in, drain,
pepper and salt each, and fry with little
butter. Very little butter answers when
eggs and milk are used before frying. A
dessert spoonful will fry enough cakes for
small family, and it gives relish nothing
else can impart. Use those wheat cro-
quettes with meats, as a change from pota-
toes. Home sausages are made by chopping
rare beef over night with plenty Of herb
seasoning and twice as much boiled cracked
wheat. This is very savory, wholesome and
convenient for quick breakfast, and it is
better made the day before, with hot cooked
wheat and a little rich gravy, seasoned highly
as good pork sausage, and left to absorb the
into balls and fried quickly. This sausage

weather and kept in jars, the wheat being
added the evening beforehand, and added
hot. The fat of roast beef or steak, well
chopped and blended with the rest in this
way, is relished and seems to be perfectly
we'll digested. The fat being very finely
divided, the gastric fluid acts more directly
upon it, and the salt and herbs stimulate
digestion.
MARY MAY.-'I am chilly spite of all
the clothes can wear. How shall keep
warm this winter"
She Must Thicken Her Blood.
Such morbid chilliness shows poor
blood. You want good nourishment and
electricity. One Of the first obserya-
tions made in the application of static |
was that it increased the |
temperature of the body by several |
degrees. To get the best warmth from |
clothing, we must wear fine fabrics next |
the skin, and fluffy material on it. A
vest OF fine thin silk next the person,
and soft knit wool vest over will be |
found to have double the warmth of two |
wool jerseys. Pointed trimmings of fur on |
the front and back of dress waists protect |
the lungs, and with edgings of fur at the |
wrists, add immeasurably to comfort. Tho |
little inch fringes of fur now fashionable,
hinder the passage of cold air at neck and |
wrists, over the arteries, when it can chill |
al the blood in the body and keep it
