When life seems hardly worth the living
and time hangs heavily, there is one re
source for the woman who is fond of books
| 1t is to go to an old favorite, like Dickens
or Thackeray, and live in the scenes he de
picts, while making the body as comfortable
as possible. In winter read before an open
fire, with tea and toast within ready call
If it's raining or showing and the sleet is
heard upon the windows, SO much the bet
ter. In summer read in the woods or on
the lonely beach. If this isn't feasible anC
you are in large town, the roof at even
tide is place where one can escape from
the throng and feel spiritually nearer the
sky.
When your hands are chapped, wash them
in bran water and apply diluted glycerin--
never the thick fluid alone Another excel
| lent balm is made at home, as follows: The
juice OF 2 lemons or 10 grains of citrie
acid, with equal parts of rosewater, glycerin
and spirits of camphor. This makes the
hands like white velvet.
When you are reading book you know
will be one of your tried favorites, mark
the passages that impress you. Afterward,
when the plot no longer holds you, you can
look through the volume at the penciled
paragraphs and reveI again in the cream OF
the good things.
When your hair has dandruff in it, go to
the druggists and get 10 cents worth OF
tincture Of green soap. Rub this into the
scalp until a lather is formed then wash

with clothes unlaced, in a shady room, a
handkerchief bound lightly across the eyes.
This has a soothing effect upon the whole
nervous system. Rest the eyes, and half
the cure is effected. You may have fire.

When the teeth become dark, either from
a foolish use of iron or from carelessness,
try the following, but not more than once
in a year: To spoonful of clear honey add
one drop of muriatic acid. Dip the tooth
brush in this mixture and rub the teeth
roughly and hurriedly. Afterward rinse
thoroughly. This removes tartar and dis
colorations of every sort. 1t is rather hero
ic treatment, however, and an ounce of pre-
vention far outweighs it.
When you are having gown made. shut
your ears to the Establishments of a dress
maker who tries to have you select some
thing fashionable without thought as to
its becoming qualities. Each woman should
know herself. She should give due atten-
ton to her faults of figure and leave the
good points to take care of themselves. 1t

When your eyes are dull, try drinking
very hot water and orange juice
When your nails are brittle, hold them al
ternately under very hot and very cold wa

When you have blackheads, bind your
eyes and hold your face over the steam that
arises from a boiling kettle. After this

histories you know, not on those with

would change, you may consider yourself
unique. KATE JORDAN.
