She Is never a martyr.
She never divulges her methods.
She never apologies for the food
She lets every one have affairs Of their own.
She never describes her aches and pains.
She never dwells on unpleasant remini-
scenes
She never communicates any news before
dinner.
She is always polite and cordial to the chill
dren's friends.
Disorder OF a temporary nature does not
visibly disturb her.
She never tells her husband any thing of the
least unpleasant character.
She never corrects the children in the pres

THOSE TROUBLESOME TREssEs.
when They Commence to Fall Leara
to Massage the Scalp.

Very often the hair falls and tonics prove
of little avail. In this case it is we'll ia
massage the scalp. Not infrequently the
scalp becomes tight Oh the head This pre-
vents circulation, the follicles of the hair
become anaemic and as a result the hair
falls. The only remedy is to give the head
course of massage. which is easily and
simply done. Place a hand on each side
Of the upper part of the face, with the
thumbs pressed on the head behind the ears
and the little finger just above where this
eyebrows begin; then spread out the other
fingers over the head, and for ten minutes
gently work the scalp backwards and for
wards. Finally. with the thumb and fore
finger pinch the scalp all over. continuing
until the head begins to Jingle; this loosens
the scalp from the bone and starts the cir
culation. Keep up this treatment nighi
and morning until the hair ceases to fall.
