A dinner the other evening, ana ABOVE the
original gray seen family at the temples
there were hints of bronze, saffron and
green. After bleaching process the halr
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 trem-
bling, faint, Intoxicating fragrance, suggest

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 bodices Of her
gowns.
Always give due thought to exercise.
Ellen Terry has reached the horizon CT
middle age, yet she is lissom and agile as
a girl of l6. As she confided to friend, the
result is attained by constant exercise and
a fiuttering girlish way of moving about.
She believes that devotion to the rocking
chair and couch brings stiff joints and the
stilted 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
own throughout the spring, and the reason
is self evident. With about a yard and
half of silk cut in two up the length, the
ends pointed and trimmed with some effect

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

ably never need just because it is marked
at figure that tempts her An example
Of this came under my notice a few days
ago. A little housekeeper with fewer dol
lars than she desires joined the rabble
around a bargain table. She caught hold
of one end of piece of stuff she admired
only to find that another woman well on
the other side of the table and partly hid
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 gaslight the material she
thought green was drab and useless for her
purpoes, and that, moreover, she had lost
pretty chatelaine in the crowd as well as
her temper.
Always burn the ends of the hair instead
of cutting thSm.
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 bathe the eyes in very warm wa
ier 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 clnched are never more
than half rested. The latter is common
failing in tho nervous American tempera-
ment, but the devitalizing of every muscle
can be acquired, and the consequences are
beneficial beyond expression.
