THREE LITTLE HINTS.

Always fold dress skirt right side
out for packing, as it will not wrinkle
so much.
A few drops of tincture of benzoin
in a bowl of water is an admirable
tonic for the face. The benzoin whit
ems the skin and prevents it from
wrinkling.
Do not put coat or dress away with
dust in the folds or plaits. Shake the
garment well and dust with a soft
whisk broom, for dust is never so easily
removed as at first.
