Those who hope that congress will af-
ford relief this year had better return to
their FORCES and their farms and look to
heaven for comfort. With the country
running behind $10,000,000 per month
and a swelling army of unemployed on
every corner, it is evident that in the last
national campaign those who promised
prosperity We're unable to deliver the
goods. Are they any better prepared to
do it now than they We're then?

One CanSe of Wrinkles.

Wrinkles are the principal witnesses
to age. Persons may have hair nearly
or quite white, but if the skin is fair
and smooth they will look what they
are-prematurely gray. You do not hear
of people being prematurely wrinkled,
although many truly ere. yet they are
spoken of as looking old.
M;My young people have disagree
able habit of frowning and scowling,
and as they grew older the creases formed
will become fixed. Profound meditation,
deep study, worry and anxiety, all cause
wrinkles and mostly i'll the upper part of
the face. OF course we know that Il face
without any lines would be expression
less, but there is little danger of any Of
fort on our part erasing too many
enough will remain if we do all we can
to obliterate them.
The skin i'll youth is not only firm, bnt
elastic, and hence the mOmentary ex.
pressions, even if frequently repeated.
disappear, but in later years the elias
ITCHY is lost, and expressions oft repeated
form permanent folds in the skin.

In addition to the foregoing, Harper's
Bazaar describes other bows of great size
to wear with house dresses. These lat
ter are called rIncroyahle, and also
Robespierre bows, and made of satin
ribbon of u gay bright color or 10
inches wide. Such a bow is broad and
stiff rather than dropping, each of its
two tightly strapped loops pointing hor-
izontally from under the chin, and 1T Is
without hanging ends. 1t is attached to
a stock or wrinkled collar of the same
ribbon that is ornamented in the back
with rhinestone buckle. The stock is
hooked in front under the bow. These
bows give novelty and variety to simple
gowns and are easily made at home.

Habits of Music Pupils,

The success of the student of music de
ponds largely upon habits formed at the
beginning of that study, and it depends
mostly upon the teacher whether these
habits be good or bad. If good, the
students advancement will be steady;
but if bad he is very unfortunate. The
art of acquiring a good touch, correct
lingering, phrasing, etc, becomes habit
ual only by careful, painstaking practice,
under good teacher. If this habit of
careful and regular practice becomes
formed at the beginning of the students
musical studies. he has won half the bat
tie, and his future success will be most
certain. A wrong beginning has been
the cause of more failures than any other
circumstance.

bridesmaids.
The leading dressmakers agree that
the greatest change in woman's dress
during the coming spring will be in the
direction of double Skirts. looped or
plain. There will be seen also the slash
ed skirts, with fanlike plaitings inserted
in the slaShes. Big sleeves will continue
to be fashionable, and there is no sign
yet Of the departure Of round waists.
For the full sleeves most women will be
grateful, for in spite of ridicule it must
be confessed that they are becoming.
The return of double skirts, which
seems to be ono of the fixed facts in
spring dress, draws attention at once to
combinations of material. Such arrange
ments have been very popular during
the winter, where shimmcring satins and
rich moires have been draped with the
