AXIoMS FOR YOUNG WOMEN

We all ave to economic sometimes,
says the Philadelphia Times. unless, in
deed, we possess the purse of Fortunatus,
an endowment which does not fall to the
average member of the human race, but
the real pinch does not come sufficiently
often to make us understand what a gem
uine mathematical problem some women
have to work out who nave a dozen nee
essary purchase to be evolved from a
bill that looks sorrowfully small in pro-
portion to the demand made upon it.
Tn weary, harassed woman of little
means is seen frequently in the shops
these days. The autumn buying is to be
lone and a SO bill looks woefully incom-
petent when the tired mother sees the
long list of things which she would like
to buy. Shopping in this fashion is no
pleasure; and the man who thinks it
very cute to formulate jokes upon his
wife's propensity for tramping from one
store to another would sing a different
song if he went along with her and saw
the effort she mak TO save on one arti-
Gle in order to help out with another. and
how she turns her back on many a tempt
ing bit of finery or furnishing, knowing
full we'll that the substantial needfuls
must be bought first before she can give
any thought to the most appealing pref
tiness her soul longs 10 possess.
Talk about unselfishness, man does not
know what it is until he watches a wonl-
an with a meagre purse shopping for
her family. She may have planned to
buy a new gown for herself or enjoy the
unusual treat of a pair of dainty house
slippers, but as she sees the money van
ishing rapidly she gives a little sigh of

fixes up husband and children, arguing
when she gets home that her last year
frock is plenty good enough and that she
thought the slippers extravaganza, and,
therefore,, did not purchase them.
Now whether her husband bell Avss this
statement or not, he certainly never IN
derstands the downright nobility of the
nature that stiles regret and smiles
cheerful1y when the old gown is donned
and the pretty feet look clumsy and In
attractive in bargain shoes that have as
little shape as a half-wet sponge. 1t is
the little things that go to make up the
world. The great sacrifices ring through
out the ages, but only the heart knows
The equally narrowing remuneration that
q limited income demands from, many
women.
Axfoms for Young Women.
From the masculine point of view one
would beg young ladies to consider the
following axioms, writes Sir Walter Bes-
ant
/. A girl cannot expect a man to be
made on purpose for her.
2. A girl who cherishes an ideal man
that is half a woman courts certain I'M
happiness.
s. Every feminine gift has it's mascu-
line counterpart; and they are never the
same. Therefore,.a girl should look for
unlikeness. not likeness

be arrived at by the man trying to be-
come a woman, or by a woman trying to

These excellent maxims are suggested
as an aid to young ladies in the forma-
ton of an ideal husband, and in the en-
deayor to live up to that sem1-d1vlne.
To Cure a Red Nose.
Many a woman has her life made mis-
erable by color which centres in the nose,
who feels desperately that there is no
such remedy for her as that prescribed

as far as is possible, avoided. The af-
ficted one should eat fresh fruit and
vegetables, drink milk and diluted lemon
Juice. and avoid sugar. The clothes should
be loose, particularly at the waist and
throat. and no heavy bOas or stiff collars
should be worn. The face should al
ways be washed in soft WATERMAN water
if possible-and bran or oatmeal bags
should be kept in the wash pitcher.
Several times a day the nose should be
wet with 80 grains of borax dissolved IN
half an ounce of rose water and the same
amount of e~lderhower water. This mix
fure should dry in. Also the nose should
be spread with thick cream, as a lotion,
at night. If it is shiny as well as red. it
may be touched up with powder on a bit
of channels skin, which is always far
preferable to a puff or even to the hare's
foot used by actresses in their makeup
for the stage.
