Terse suggestions.

| Always keep In mind your complexion
and style in choosing color. Big women
| never look well In unrelieved white
Blends, except in the pale moonlight tone
should avoid yellow. Small women look
best in white or decided pale hues-colors
like brown or black except for the street
are apt to make them insignificant
| Always consider the dreadful hues tresses
take when they are going back" when
| ever you are tempted to bleach or dye your
hair. | assure you woman sat next me at
dinner the other evening" and above the
original gray seen family at the temples
there were hints of bronze, saffron and
green. After n bleaching process the hair
never regains its elasticity and frequently
becomes prematurely gray.
Always use sachet scents The crude ex-
tract upon clothes is like an affront. The
woman whose draperies give out a trem-
bling, faint, intoxicating fragrance, suggest
i've of no particular odor, yet seeming to
embrace all, is the woman who LAYS her
| linen in bureau drawers lined by big sachet
cases, and who hangs little bags of sachet
powder in the skirts and bodlces of her
gowns.
Always give due thought to exercise.
Ellen Terry has reached the horizon of
middle age, yet she is lissom and agile us
girl of l6. AS she confided to friend, the
result 10 attained by constant exercise and
fluttering girlish way of moving about.
She believes that devotion to the rocking
chair and couch brings stiff joints and the
suited bearing of old age many years too
soon.
Always follow the fashion when it saves
trouble and money. The black MORE scarfs
so much in vogue now bid fair to hold their
1pb ha nd . he
is self evident. With about yard and n
half of silk cut in two up the length, the
ends pointed and trimmed with some effect
i've yellowish lace, you have Sretty cover
ing to bodice which may have seen its
best days. Besides they are very becoming
the big bows under the chin suiting faces of
almost every age and style.
Always pass by bargains" which are use
less to you. 1t is often surprising to see
the joy with which a woman purchases
something she does not need and will prob.
ably never need just because it is marked
at figure that tempts her An example
of this came under my notice few DAYS
ago A little housekeeper with fewer dol
lars than she desires Joined the rabble
around bargain table. She caught hold
of one end of piece of stuff she admired
only to find that another woman we'll on
bhc oOuci SLUG VI Lnt JdDle ana partly MD
den from view had seized the other end.
They tugged at it, glared, and eventually
the little housekeeper had the better of the
struggle Imagine her dismay when she
found that by gasight the material she
thought green was drab and useless for her
purpoes, and that, moreover she had lost
pretty chateaine in the crowd as well as
her temper.
Always burn the ends of the hair instead
of cutting them.
Always wash the face in very warm and
then in very cold water This has the eff
feet of first thoroughly cleansing it, then
hardening it SO that it withstands rough
weather without chapping
Always battle the eyes in very warm wa
ter when they are tired.
Always when resting let yourself lie
passive and heavy, even letting the jaw
drop, the arms lie by the sides, the hands
open loosely. People who sleep with limbs
twisted and teeth cinched are never more
than half rested The latter is common
failing in the nervous American tempera-
ment, but the devitalizing of every muscle
can be acquired, and the consequences are
beneficial beyond expression.
