ooh, she's one of those fluffy girls.
my dear boy" said the matron, what
on earth is fluffy girl?"
'Why, don't you know" replied the
young man. "A girl who has blue eyes,

like bit of Dresden china. A girl who is
always hitched up in big armchair and

charming gowns, all frills and ribbons,

who is always delightfully."- clean, with

expression; who wears tinkling ornaments

her fingers; who abounds in parasols, fans

a sponge and a basin of hot water-just as
hot as you can bear it.
Pass the hot wet sponge slowly and
steadily over the face ana forehead fol
eight or ten minutes, keeping the sponge
as hot as it can be borne. By that time
your face will look and feel as if it were
parboiled. But don't worry.
Then battle the back Of the neck as you
have done the face, carrying the sponge
each time well up the back of the head.
Keep this up for the same length OF
time; then, without looking at yourself in
the glass, because that would be sure to
disquiet you, dry your face and neck softly
snd go and lie down fat on your back.
Close your eyes and think of just this
one thing, How heavy you are on the
couch and how easily it supports you.
That is really an important part of the
cure.
Lie there for half an hour, If you don't
fall asleep, as you probably will. Then
get up and take the deferred look in the

The tired look has gone; the muscles
have regained their tone; the wrinkles
have disappeared. You look like your
younger sister. Best of all, the darling
pain in the head and the pessimism of the
soul have gone too.-Boston Herald.

What Next in woman,s Societies.

Woman's societies will reach their high
est goal when the predatory "woman's" is
discarded. Exclusive organization on the

ply the union of husbands and wives in
the common cause of benefting humanity.
Doubtless thousands of busy men today,
apathetic regarding general human well
fare, would bound to their place at the
wheel if appealed to by wives converted to
the new mission and needing brawny aid.
The best way to disarm an opponent is to
throw the cause on his hands. appealing
for his support.
Let such titles as ''Woman's Suffrage
association" give place to the United So
cieties for Woman's Franchise"
There is no fear but that the modest
source from which all these benefactions
have sprung will be ever and gratefully
remembered.
But in the iull realization of social re-
forms accomplished only by the addition
of mans effective power, women working
for that end can well afford to relinquish
the initiatory which at most can no more
than propose a higher mission for them
and a new progress for all-Margaret w.

Strengthening innocence III the operation Oh

HOY to Helm the Doctor.

A well known doctor once complained to
the writer that he had the greatest trouble
when treating sick children in getting any
lucid and helpful resume of their symp-
toms from day to day from the mother
Here is a case in point" said he. "a few
days ago young mother came to me about
her little boy, who had what she called a
pathetic little cough Now pathos in q
cough is symptom of which pathology
takes no note. So asked more definite
particulars What kind of cough is it,?
] asked again.
oh, such a pathetic cough she an
swered. But is it a loose cough, or a
wheeling cough, or a tight cough, or a
bark cough'' persisted.
Pm sure don't know she said, sadly
puzzled, but it is sad little cough And
that is a fair sample of the way great
many physicians find themselves puzzled
about babies The mothers or nurses
seem to have so little skill in interpreting
their symptoms"
Women and mothers, this thing ought
not TO be. A young mother with a first
baby may find herself little puzzled for
the first few weeks TO recognize the most
striking symptoms in baby's illness, but
she ought soon to be able TO make very
intelligent diagnosis of ordinary ills. She
ought to be able TO tell whether the baby
is in acute pain or not, and in most cases
where the pain is located; whether his cry
is a tired cry or hungry one or q sick one.
She ought TO be able to take his tempera-
ture and his pulse beats as accurately as a
physician, TO discriminate his coughs and
his way of breathing The condition Of his
bowels should be significant to her also,
and even of his skin. These are all mat
tiers that come with a little attention in
watching and a little knowledge in inter
probation and brains.-St. Louis Globe

A Practical Suggestion.

One of the most practical suggestions
for service is that of the woman who comes
in to work 'by the day" There is very
much more in this idea of daily service OF
of employing woman who, in common
parlance, ''does days work" than has
ever been fully developed. Washing and
scrubbing are at present the principal
duties of such workers. But these, al
though they represent the hardest labor,
cover only small part of the daily house
work.
The sweeping and busting, the sewing,
the cooking, the dish washing, the "clear-
ing up"-most interminable of tasks-the
mending and the chamber work-all these
come into the home life and into the line
of ahousekeeper's duties.-Harper's Bazaar.

The father may transmit traits as he often
transmits weaknesses, but the mind of the
male child almost always derives its real
force from the mother. II she have q strong
character, sterling virtues and has lived a
simple, healthy life, her SON will reap the
richer harvest of vital and mental strength,

The view is one of such interest and i'm
portance that every one will find something
in his or her own experience and observa-
ton that will bear upon it. The thought
back of it Is that women should be edu.
Gated and their minds cultivated, but
neither overeducated, as at some female
colleges, nor overcultivated or overstrained
by work or society; that their lives should
be so ordered that surplus of mental and

Working Women and Their Place Today
The proportion of women whose daily lot
is hard labor of some kind or other is not
greater now than it has been in other pc
RODS. On the contrary, it is probably
smaller. But at no former time has the
wage earning woman been so distinct so
cial and economic factor Woman's work
was formerly hedged in very closely by do
mestic conditions. Her life was part O.,
the life of some family, and as an unat
tached Industrial unit she was practically
noneXistent.
Newer conditions have obviously changed
all this, and every city has its army OF
young working women seeking an indie
pendent livelihood, just as it has its larger
army of young men. The army of young
wOrkingmen in great towns-young men
wholly unattached and fighting the battle
of life upon their individual resources
has not been very long recognized as dis
tinct social element, and one for which pc
culiar povision should be made. But its
recognition has been more general, and
there has been better provision made fol
it than for the other army of young work.
ing women.
Yet the position of the young woman ia
much the more difficult The kinds OF
work open to women are not half so nu-
merous as those that young men can enter.
And women's wages average little more
than half as much as their brothers. The
practical difficulties in the way of procur
ing employment are especially great foI
young women, and conventional obstacles
lie everywhere. The rights, the needs, the
wants of working girls call for agitation
and for organized action. And in many
ways the movement has begun.-Albert
