JOGGING THE MEMORY.

"Therel II l didn't forget all about it!'
That's what a woman says when the recol-
lection of the engagement made, the date
arranged or the commission to be filed
pops into her head when it's too late. If
only the pop would come in time to be a
warning instead of a rebuke, but it never
does unless one is smart enough to ar
range a series of wound-up pops that shall

failing way to Jog the memory to the i'm
pending duty is to fasten up on the bed
room wall, just where the waking eye will

warning word and then on the Tuesday
page write the occasion and necessary de-
tails. This gives ''two to make ready
and three for to start" jog to the recollec-
ton. A big sheet of brown paper tackled
up back of the desk with a blue pencil
nailed to long string near by will offer
surface upon which one can conspicuously
indite such items for the week as must not
be forgotten. As each thing is done cross
it out, so the undone ones continue to be
conspicuous until they are crossed. By
the assistance of this scheme you can re-
mem Der that your husbands cousins baby
has birthday on Monday, that you must
speak about Mrs. Cooks sore knee when
she calls Tuesday, that you must be out

month and bills come in, that you ought

Thursday because il is your o'clock tea,
and SO on. successfully.
In desperate cases. when in spite of the
logging such morning observation OF desk
and bedroom warnings may give, you are
sure you will forget the MONDAY duty, an
heroic measure is to wear your tight shoes.
Each twinge and every pang of suffering
will newly engraft upon the mind the
responsibility to be met. A less heroic but
almost as certain way is to post letter or
postal to yourself reminding of the duty
you fear to forget. If you want to remem-

out Of bed and stopping your alarm clock
and then getting back to bed and never
waking up at all? Try sleeping with your
head to the foot of the bed. When you
try to get up you will either climb into the
wall or else get up the other side of the
bed and become so far lost in hunting for
the clock that you will really wake up.
Whatever you do in this direction be
warned of the experience of the ingenious
man who fitted his alarm clock with a
tank SO that it would let a stream of water
trickle on to his devoted head, and then

THAT MARX ABOUT THE NECK.

Is anything more aggravatlng than the
black, gray or brown streak that comes
about the neck from the wearing of the
high stock collars that have so long been
in vogue? The mark is not only disfgur-
ing, but though it be scrubbed so it can't
be dirt, it looks as if soiled, and adds dis
grace to annoyance. The mark is often
the result of bad dye in the facing of the
collar, and half hour of facing all the
collars with white silk or even white cotton
constant rubbing of the stiff band scars
| the neck and constant scrubbing with
| hard soap only makes the skin seem more
sensitive and so the more darkly bruised.
| Loosen the collars little and have them
| finished at the top with soft roll OF the
goods. Such finish is always becoming,
| and often settles the difficulty in little
while.
| So much for prevention; now for re-
| movaI. If the mark must be taken off and
| at short notice, perhaps because dress cut
| a little low in the neck is to be worn, then
anoint the flesh thoroughly with warm
| vaseline. Use soft linen cloth dipped in
| the vaseline, applying it as if it were soap,
| and turning the cloth whenever the APP
piled surface gets soiled. This is very i'm
| portant, or you will only scrub the stain in

and then with warm soapsuds and a very
soft sponge wash off the grease thoroughly.
Rinse with hot water several times and
| then battle with cold water till the skin is
chilled. This should close the pores and
leave the skin dry and smooth. Unless
this is accomplished open pores and greasy
surface will only promptly attract stain
again.
When the skin is entirely dry, dust well
| with a pure powder, or apply dry bag OF
oatmeal. Rub off lightly, and when the
natural color of the skin is resumed. after
all. the manipulation, the neck will, In
nine cases out of ten, be pretty and white.
When you are not quite so much in a
hurry use warm soapsuds and sponge rub,

water In stubborn cases paste of bread

work the other way. He has asked the
question, he waits breathlessly and
presently the dimple in the chin fills with
sunshine, then comes the shy mouth, and
the roses deepen up the cheeks till they
get caught in the dark of the lashes, and
then when the brim is beyond the blue
lined lids up they lift, and of sudden the
eyes shine out. Do you suppose that when

he knows what O'Clock it is by the time
you really look at him?

are so soft and plume-swept that if he is
very nice and seems to deserve some
special favor you can lean forward and just
let the soft fluff of it sweep his cheek.
You can move away again right off and
his heart will shoot up in his throat and
slide down his back just as if you had
really kissed him and got your hair all
unused. If he should thereon become i'm
perative you can pretend you didn't mean
to and that it was all the hatbrim's own
fault.

FASHIONS FOR MEN.

Speaking of studs for evening wear,
small gold ones are considered very smart;
otherwise white enamel or pearl, but
diamonds never. For mourning, black
enamel buttons have been worn by few.
There are two forms of dress for evening
recognized by those who dress correctly.
One is the semi-evening dress for informal
OCCASIONS consisting of Tuxedo or Cirves
Jacket with black trousers. The other is
the formal evening dress with the swallow
tail coat, which should be of fine. soft
vicuna. smooth, with fine twill, or of fine
corkscrew. The collar is deep, the lapels
wide. The facing is of silk, coming to

THE WHITE LIES OF SOCIETY.

Indulgence in social fibs grows apace into
habit. The conscience of the average
person acquits these little subterfuges of
immortality, but the use OF them renders
social intercourse even more lnsincere than
it need be. Let woman pause to think,
and she will be astonished when she takes
to noticing how many of these little fiblets
she resorts to, and without which she
would do very we'll. There is that phrase,
charmed, I'm sure" could anything be
more foolish? Why miss the chance to
make hit by substituting for this ldlocy
an apparently sincere and grave cit will
give me great pleasure" The phrase has,
at least, the air of meaning something and
of being originated for the occasion. Then
there is "Quite well, thank you' gabbled
off in unheeding responses to an unheeded
question. Try saying it as though 1t meant
THANK you for caring"
Sometimes the unexpected vitalizing of
worn and meaningless phrase on the lips
of the one just introduced is what arrests
the attention and gives an expression OF
individuality and sincerity before three
sentences have been spoken. Often
serious and sincere reply to gabbled
catch remark will at once set the talk run
ming along lines of interest. Try it When
he says to you, Pleasant weather we are
having" perhaps when it's raining in
proof that he wasn't thinking bit of
what he said, you can return gravely, 81
like the rain, too, this with an air of I'M
faltering and quite unaffected sincerity.
And, behold the topic OF the weather, so
threadbare, will be an interesting one, in
asmuch as it starts you to some sort of
agreement and exchange of opinions in
stead of empty phrases.
The not at home fib is one that is diff
cult to avoio at all times. 1t is often the
gentlest way of denying ones audience,
for the disappointed visitor is left the
option of believing circumstances and not
your unwillingness prevents an interview,
but many times a candid excuse sent to a
friend would meet the case much better.
Let the maid say, "Mrs. S. is so sorry,
but she is too i'll to see any one to-day and
hopes you will call again soon," or some
thing like that. II beg your pardon" is
another phrase too really pretty to be
spoiled by careless use. Don't fire it off
on every occasion, and when you are really
sorry about something say so. 81 beg
your pardon" said with moving sincerity
is absolutely startling, just because of its
usual hackneyed use. She is a wise girl
who takes to studying phrases and sets
herself to give new life to them in her
usage. She will find her social career ad-
vanced wonderfully, without extraor-
binary wit or beauty to help.

A NEW WEAPON OF O0QUETRY.

Cultivate your hatbrim, girls; be friends
with it, know its every dropping curve and
learn the exact projection of its shadow.
A girl with a well-trained hatbrim can get
three proposals to the other girls one.
Learn to let your eyes look over the edge
of the shade the brim throws; the least
little droop of the head shadows them
altogether, and for the life of him he can t
be sure whether you are looking at him or
not, and that makes him hope you are
Or the eyes being in total eclipse back of
the bending brin the mouth seems all the
more alluring, because there it lies, like a
curled roseleaf in a streak of sunshine, all
unguarded and to be taken if you will
where it smiles, as it were, this side of the
fence. When he seems almost at the
asking-place what sweeter than TO let the
shadow come down over the dropping lids,
beyond the lashes, across the cheek, round
ing the trembling chin? If a man half
started on a proposal can squirm out
without finishing it when hatbrim helps
him along like that-well, he's yet to be
found.
There is more still to hatbrim. 1t will
