Some Men VIII Give Hundreds Foolishiy
Who Refuse tn Give to Worthy Objeots.
st Louis Globe Democrat.
"Did you ever notice that q present IL al
ways something that you can get along
we'll enough Without" said Duncan Han
ley. who Is at the LIndslL. There ought TO
DO nothing surprising in that. for il is so.
and apparently has always been so. Take
presents-ln the first place. every one has a
kind OF sense that tells him q present ought
TO be pretty-beautIful. if you will. First
OF all. beautiful. and then useful IT posi-
bic. The moment a thing becomes useful
aud some one gives it to you,
il is q gift of charity and not q
present. Presents are always large
" ornamental; they are something
sometimes what you do not need at all.
Take jewelry. aud watches, umbrellas,
canes. slippers. necktles: any one can get
along without such things. There Isn't
n doubt about II. No one will dispute
this fact Yet every one calls up these
things to mind the moment he thinks OF
presents.
Does any one ever make n present of O
pair of shoesf That would be locked upon
as a gift of charity. Even hats are barred
from the list as being useful-too useful
and any one who Is gwen one Ia belng mate
rally, charitably helped. because q hat
saves money. No one thinks of giving a
suit of clothes. or anything in the line of
necessary apparel. Neckties are given. but
q man can go without neokties. He can't
go without shirts of some kind. though, or
n SUIT of clothes. except In Africa. He can
only do without such things there because
it's fashionable at present. People will
present a watch worth $50 or $500 and
think nothing of il. but they would not
give a suit In charity. though it cost only
half the sum. So IL goes with o dozen other
things. No one likes TO think that any one
else viii be benefited by what he gives.
People like to see others happy, but not
benefited. A man can be easily made happy
without being benefited. and that is what
presents are for. They are given to give
JOY and nothing more. Satisfaction is an
other. quite another thing. and comes un-
der the head of charity"

look for them. The tufted itmouse seems

SO few birds then to attract ones attention.

the call into words that are oftenest upon

Some complexion specialists say the face
should never be washed. at least one
woman in New York affirms that she has
not washed har face in seven years. She
has a beautiful skin. and. when compli-
mented uDon il. she says: "Ah. you should
have seen my grandmother's skin. When
she was seventy it was like a rose leaf. and
she had not washed her face for twenty
six years."
Similar stories are told OF Madame Patti
pleXiOns. but the truth of these IS not
voncheo for by reliable authorities.
On the other hand there Is a woman liv-
ing IN New York who makes a practice of
washing her face every night with soap
and hot water. She IL over fifty years old.
her skin is satin smooth. n the colOring

puts only clear pure water on her face. and
has not touched it with soap In fully twen-
u years.
The weight of evidence is with the peo-
pie who use soap. but all agree In saying
that only the finest. purest soap must be
employed. and that every particle of it
must be rinsed of. Authorities on the mat
ter assert that the face should not be
washed oftener than once q day. and that
the water should never be dashed over it.

tlce of most men and some women. Very

Practical Hints

A fashion at spring and early summer
weddings is to have q small boy in some
dainty dress, not necessarily that of q
page. accompany the bridal pair to the
altar. where. at one side, he holds the ring
on a small tray ready for prompt use at the
proper moment
A pleasant and lasting perfume for gloves
may he obtained by mixing two ounces of
spirits of wine with four mIDims OF extract
OF amoergris. A small piece of cotton wool
dipped In the mixture. il rubbed upon the
insides of the gloves, will impsrt the de-
sired fragrance.
III only slightly soiled. a small piece of
oiled silk wound round the finger end
rubbed vigorously over any sort of kid or
ehamols gloves Will remove all traces of
the spot. provided Ii is not n stain. It is
well TO molsten the silk slightly when
using IL. just as one does a postage stamp.

head wabble. You will feel after a few

overwrought organism ore running down;

you'll sleep.
To keep Ice for the sick cut a Piece of
clean flannel white IS best about ten
inches or more square. Place this over the
top OF q glass pitcher. or even q tumbler.
pressing the flannel down half way or
more into The vessel. Then bind the flan-
mel fast TO the top of the glass with a string
or piece of tape. Now put the ice into the
flannel cup and lay another piece of fan
mel hive or six inches square Upon the Ice.
Arranged thus ice will keep many hours.
An excellent effect for wall and ceiling
decoration was obtained recently by "a
clever fellow. who pasted cheap Noting
ham lace over q plain cOlored wall paper.
The materials, both the lace and the wall
paper. were cheap. but when finished the
wall had a most aesthetic appearance. OF
course all lace patterns are not desirable.
but by cutting the borders and com bining
proper details OF the curtains the effect OF
the scheme. If dona carefully. is excellent.
In handling lace the decorator should
catch one end to the wall and carry the
rest of the fabric along by allowing II to
drape evenly over an ordinary broom
handle. pushing the broom handle along 10
the face of the ceiling. The lace Is thus
applied perfectly even.
