There are two literary women Of whom
the west has every reason to be proud. They
are Mary Hartvell Catherwood and Octave
Thanet We are not altogether sure that
they are not producing the best native liter
ature now current in this country.
With Mrs. Catherwood's work we arc
particularly pleased. 1t has delicate, fan.
ciful quality which is simply delicious.
Miss Octave Thanet is more Of humorist
than her Illinois contemporary Is. Her
fidelity TO nature gives TO her studies Of
character great power and convincing force
fulness.
Both these ladies are artists In the best
sense, and both are in private life and in
their everyday relations with humanity as
charming as the most ardent admirer Of
their delightful stories could imagine

HEALTH AND HOME.
Simple Methods For Removing the Traces
Of Time.

OF Iluie.
DIR. Buckley says that certain amount
Of friction applied to the face daily will do
much to keep the pores open, and by slim
ulating the skin to prevent the formation
of the black specks and red spots SO COM
mon. He generally directs that the face
be rubbed to degree short of discomfort
and that the towel be not too rough. This
friction helps to ward of wrinkles.
A writer in the Albany Cultivator, com
menting on DR.. Buckley's statments, adds:
Frequent bathing OF the entire body and
special massage treatment for the face
should be employed to remove the traces
of time Bathe the face with very hot water
and use little good soap. Wash off the soap
and then with the tips Of the fingers go all
over the face, pressing and smoothing out
the skin. Always move the fingers in the
direction indicated In order to remove the
wrinkles, and not promiscuously in every
direction. The lower part Of the face usu-
ally needs to be pressed upward. When
you sit reading or have your hands at lib
erty at any time and are not In public
smooth out an Objectionable wrinkle by
gently stroking the skin. After washing
the face always rub 1t lightly and briskly
with soft towel.

Embroidsry ON Checked Linen Etc.
Leaves Of various forms play some con-
siderable part In the decoration Of fancy
articles this season. A pretty border for a
teacloth represents chestnut leaves arranged
20 that they slightly overlap. The leaves
arc worked Sd that every alternate one Is
IN excellent imitation of skeleton leaf.
and as the linen is cut away beyond the
edges Of the pattern the segments Of the
leaves make pretty finish Of scallops all
round the cloth. Ivy leaves cut out of dark
green plush, apparently lined with silk Of q
paler shade and mounted over cardboard,
are being made up into mats and letter or
photograph holders.
Dainty table mats are composed OF q
piece Of very fine mating, which Is laid in
the center Of an oblong of coarse linen rath-
er larger than the mating. The edges OF
the linen are SO arranged as to fold over to
the right side Of the mat and are traced
for embroidery. The linen is fastened at
the corners with q tiny button and loop, SO
that it can be readily removed from the
mating when soiied.
Cardboard boxes can be covered with in
terplaited ribbon of two colors and turned
to all kinds of uses It takes some little
time to learn to plait the ribbon closely and
firmly. Start with straight horizontal
piece pinned to a board. and all the perpen-
dicular ribbons fastened to that, and then
the rest is quite easy. 1t is an art soon ac-
quired.
The check pattern on old linen suggests
embroidery in which various stitches,
stars, crosses and circles worked in silks
and linen threads are made to form excel
lent designs by the aid Of the lines in the
material. These much simplify the work.

Nothing is now more universally accepted
than the foct thct the peach is an improved
variety of the almond. The almond has a
thin shell around the stone, which splits
open and exposes the stone when mature.
This outer skin has simply become feshy
In the peach, so that is all that gives it it's
specific character, explains Meehan. II
seems now clear from investigation in the
history OF ancient Babylon that in their
gardens, now nearly 1000 years ago. the
peach was cultivated then as il il now. IL
must have been many years before this that
the peach was improved from the almond.
and this fact goes to show the great an
tiquity Of the fruit.

"Some people are born with silver
spoons in their mouths" If it is only
a plain, everyday sort Of silverspoon,
it doesn't count in these fin de steele
days, 1t must be souvenir spoon,
and no common one at that, or one
had better not have been born. THIS
is indeed a time, if not an age, of lux
ury, and even the poorest people are
not contented with the plain usagee
and appointments of the past half
century. II is an age Of constant
changes, where nothing lasts, and in
which anything that is before the
public more than year is considered
q matter Of ancient history.
The wonder is that with such an
existing state of things fad like
that Of collecting souvenir spoons
should have lasted more than one
season, and yet the interesting fact
remains that the fancy or fad OF
whatever you choose to call it OF
souvenir spoons is just as eagerly fol
lowed now as it was five years ago
when first introduced. - Once 0

dangerous Vessels often anchor in
