chin to the forehead. and outward, to-
wards the ear, motions. Never wipe
any part of the face downward. -

To clean kettles to which anything

allow the steam TO do the hard work

clean skillets turn one over the other,
allowing the steam from the under one

inserted between the bark and the sap

place. The scion is cut very thin and
sloping, the cut beginning opposite

it to rest more firmly upon the stock.
1t is not profitable to graft very large
branches. as it takes too long for the
wounds to heal over. and too much of
the tree ought not to be cut away at

In choosing barber, a man should

ALWAYS be remem bered that there are
safeguards well within the reach OF
this class of tradesmen, which a Gus
toner may fairly exact for his own Sc
curity as part of the common law OF
shaving These include the use of per
fectly fresh water and soap, or prefera-
bly, shaving cream as admitting of ex-
elusive use, a clean brush and a clean
razor for each person shaved. Each
customer who can readily afford the
extra expense could make sure of hav'
ing clean soap and clean brush, by
having his own shaving mug, brush and
soap. He might also have his own raz-
or. As a further but not superhuous
precaution, it might be exacted that in
struments after washing be dipped in
some convenient antiseptic solution.
Such measures as these require but lit
tie time to carry them out They are
needful in order to insure immunity
from contagion, and the poorest will
find them worth a small addition to the

Renewing a Dress.

A fresh and dressy appearance can be
impaired to black net, grenadine or
silk evening-dress that has seen service
by putting two or three satin ruches
near the edge-scarlet, mauve, or any
shade preferred. A dress so freshened
was made of black satin figured with
Marie Antoinette rose clusters. The
ruches added were old-rose color, stem
green and black, and the bodice was
correspondingly trimmed. Satin ruches
are seen on cloth gowns, even those
which are tailor-made being so deco
rated. This is quite durable form of
trimming, and it is effective also, the
sheen of the satin being relief to the

these, made of black satin and called

Russian blouses, but are more closely
fitted. The front is faced back with

the high collar is finished with ostrich
tips set on end to curl outward. The
straight loose sleeves show their yellow
satin lining, are bordered with jetted
velvet, and are goffered on TO match
the fold in the back. Long cloals foi
