WAYS WOMEN CAN EARN MONEY.

Suggestions For TIlose Who Cannot
Give Up All Their Time.
How can 1 get work to do at homer
is the question that assails us on every
side. The answer is, There is scarcely
any to be had
Copying is not to be thought of, as
| typewritlng has taken its place. Daily
governesses are very little in demand
Needlework-even the most beautiful-is
very badly paid.
One golden rule should be observed
| jewellers in the provinces should try to
dispose of the work where they are
| known. It is a mistake to imagine that
| Take dresSnaking, ETC., as an example.
| That is work that might be done at home,
and a good worker in the suburbs or in
small country towns might earn quite a
nice little addition to her income.
| She should make a Speciality of one
line as by continually studying it she
would get very proficient, and become a
mistress of her art. She might make
nothing else but bouses, in which case
she would always possess the latest de-
signs, and be ready to give good color and
the making of children's clothes, children's
coats and cloaks little boys suits, or
babies clothes.
Again, a good member ought to be able
to get work in her own neighborhood or
in the nearest town. To obtain it, she
should advertise in the local paper, put
notice in the principal ships, apply at
the largest boys and girls schools, and
to the wife of the clergyman or minister
of the parish, or to the busiest housewife
she knows.
A lady who can cook well might add
to her income by filling up "gaps"-going
to a house for q few hours each day. while
servants are being changed-or undertake
ing the cooking of the dinner tand man
agement of one or two servants, while the
mistress of small household is entertain
ing her friends.
Some ladies might be glad to have a.
young girl for few hours daily, to take
and fetch the children to and from school,
and perhaps superintend their home les
sons, etc. Others might be glad to en-
ploy a girl to amuSe the smaller children
every afternoon, and perhaps teach them
the alphabet.
1t is possible, sometimes, to get en-
ployment for an hour or two every day
as reader or letter writer to either old or
busy men and women. A good musician
might find occasional employment as an
accompanist, or to play dance music, or
assist generally in entertaining With the
fruit season coming on there might be
scope for a good jam maker, to preserve
any quantity of fruit for those who, whilst
preferring home made jams, have not the
time, or do not care for the trouble of
preserving the fruit at their own houses.

WHAT TO DO.
Bits of SeasOnabie Advice Regurd-
ing the Preservation of Il Fine
Skin and Handsome Face.

A woman whose otherwise fine COM
plexion is marred by distended open
pores, should be very careful to refrain
from the use of hot water for her
additions, and also the too continual
use OF cold cream. Use cold water
rather, and apply the following simple
lotion every night after washing your
face; this will brace the skin and help
to close the relaxed pores: Hazeline,
Two drachms, simple tincture of ben
zoin, one and half drachms; elder
flower water four ounces
Young women who covet fair skins
are neglectfng a rare opportunity for
accomplishing their ends if they fail
to eat fruit at this season of the year.
Nothing so purifies the system as
fruit diet, and nothing is so agreeable
and effectual a tonic just now. The
good results are seen almost immedi-
aitsiy in a clearer, softer skin, a more
healthy glow, and brighter eyes. Where
possible berries should form a large
portion of the daily food. Pineapple is
also another excellent fruit for the
complexion when eaten shredded and
not in large Jumps.
Lettuce, asparagus, water-cress,
spinach and tomatoes are all valuable
aids in attaining a good skin and
clear color. No dinner should be COM
plete without green salad
To prevent the dampness of the
hands so disagreeable and so ruinous
to gloves, soak them two or three times
a day in alum and water, allowing a
dessert spoonful of powdered alum to
pint of tepid water. a carbolic soap
is very good for ablutions, and rub the
palms of the hands after washing at
bedtime with a little belladona hni-
ment, taking care, however, that the
liniment does not touch the linen, as

arrest the falling out of the hair:

The new models for infants dresses
differ little from those long seen, ex-
cept that all of the tiny sleeves are now
