The Toilet.


Girls who are troubled with moist,
clammy hands should use a plenti-
full supply of boraX in the washing
water, busting afterwards with bor-
air acid powder, or with the best bO-
rated talcum powder. Old gloves
worn at night are something sue
cessful in whitening and sOftening
rough hands; also, oatmeal water,
allowed to dry on the hands, is an
excellent bleacher.
Change the style of hairdressing
three or four times year, from the
top of the head to the middle and to
the nape of the neck. The hair has
a tendency to grow thin in the place
where it is piled for any length of
time.
Chapped lips, fever blisters and
the like come often from bad diges-
ton. Chronic sore mouth may be
rubbed with oil or rosewater and
glycerine, or with camphorated ice.
Citron ointment is reliable and very
efficacious for this difficulty.
The face itself should not be
anOinteG with cold cream unless
very much chapped; otherwise. it
gives an oily look and enlarges the
pores. Cocoa butter or pure sweet
oil are better for the purpose, espe-
cially the former, which will i'm
prove the texture of the skin Won
derfully in short time.
Lavender water is easily COM
pounded and delightfully."- refresh
ing. To make it, take a quart of
rectified spirits of wine, two ounces
of essential oil of lavender, and five
drains of essence of ambergis. Put
all into bottle and shake till they
mix.
In order to preserve your teeth it
is not too often to brush them at
least three times day in pure wa
ter, but if that is impossible, thor
ough brushing in the morning and
at night just before retiring should
be the practice. Fine French char
coal whitens the teeth; pure soap is
good for cleaning the mouth; Liste-
rine or few drops of tincture of
myrrh makes good mouth gargle;
and a dentists advice to patients
with tender gums is to rub them
about the roots and inside with pre-
cipitated chalk before going to bed.
The prettiest, most graceful, and
newest couture worn by youthful
women with evening toilets, says
the New York Post, shows the hair
arranged in soft deep waves on the
crown of the head and around the
forehead, parted on the left side,
carried to the back, and coiled or
braided around a bunch of short
curls.

mas who wish their daughters to

Whether it is best to have the frocks
made to wear with CAMPS or to have
them cut high in the neck, is al

spots, it should be hung away for
day or two and then brushed again.
The spots will be found to have dis
appeared.
Care taken with dainty gowns is
the secret of dressing well on a
limited allowance.
A treatment that may be relied
upon for removing iron rust spots
from white fabrics is the following:
Pour boiling water into bowl,
stretch the cloth that is spotted over
it and drop on the spot of rust a drop
of hydrochlOric or muriatic acid.
Leave it there half a minute, then
dip the place in hot water. Wash
out thoroughly afterward in water
softened with ammonia. Soap must
not be used, as the acid will decom-
pose it and leave grease spot on the
cloth.
How untidy sick room can soon
become, and how annoying the dust
of sweeping is to the patient, is
known to all who. attend patients.
To remedy this put little ammonia
in a pail of warm water, and with
mop wrung as dry as possible go
all over the carpet first. This takes
up all the dust and much of the loose
dirt. A broom will take what is too
large to adhere to the mop and raise
no dust. With a dust cloth well
sprinkled 90 over the furniture, and
the room is fairly clean.

Matching Her Eyes.

A famous dressmaker has ventur-
ed on new idea. Let the bright
sunlight shine directly in your eyes
and the predominant color dis
cerned therein will be the color to
choose for gown, irrespective of
hair or complexion, when you wish
to look most bewitchingly and be-
comingly arrayed. In brown eyes
shines a sort of grayish hue, in blue
eyes watery azure, and in certain
eyes greenish shade. However,
all the tints are purchasable, and
with the promised results there is no
reason not to be beautiful.

Good Advice to Girls.

Don't discuss your family affairs
in general conversation.
Don't allow yourself to be under
obligations to any man.
Don't give your photograph to
men and don't ask them for theirs.
Don't write, except when it cannot
be avoided, to men. Make all your
notes acknowledging courtesies, ETC.,
short and to the point.
Don't boast that you do not read
the newspapers, as many girls do
nowadays. Keep yourself informed
on artistic, literary and political
topics of the day.

Raby,s Constitutional.

If the baby is even ordinarily
healthy he should have his daily
airing, no matter what the state of
the weather. From the first time he
is taken out his constitutional should
be religiously observed. To take
him out on some days and keep him
home on others is to pave the way
for all sorts of illness. The child
will be much more liable to take
cold who is kept indoors on some
days than the one who goes out
every day.

Fashion Notes.


This spring has been prolific of
beautiful things of every kind, even
down to shoes and stockings. Some
of the latter are hand embroidered
and others spangled.
Parasols are wonderfully fine this
season. There are some tinv sun
shades of white silk covered with
honiton lace. Others there are
where fine black chantilly overlays
white silk, or in some cases irrides-
cent silk. Then there are exquisite
white crepe lisse and chiffon para
soils, quite large, with the lisse or
chiffon pulled on over the white silk
1t is quite up-to-date to tie branches
of roses or violets on the top and
handles of parasols, and fasten the
flowers with pale green ribbon.
Rainbow tulle is employed not
only on hats but for some of the
fussy collarettes, and it is light and
vaporous, but not very durable. In
hats, the dipped flats, with beef
eater or high bell crowns, have
strings of gauze or ribbon to tie de-
murely under the chin.
Billows of tulle crown the ma
iority of dressy millinery-one color
over the other very often, to pro-
duce the shot effect so much de-
sired, or may be to enable a greater
display of color.
China effects are truly the key
note of nearly everything in the
world of dress, the patterns appear
ing among silks, satins, fancy vel
vets, cottons, silk and wool fabrics,
etc.
All sorts of pretty berthas, Marie
Antoinette fichus, and fancy col
larettes are being made ready for
summer wear over light or white
gowns, and among the list are yoke
shaped pieces of mauve, pink, or
pale yellow silk covered with hand
some net and finished with a lace
and chiffon neck ruche.
Two of the most popular fancy
colors this season will be pale golden
yellow and Nile green.
Sateens are not in large demand.
Dresden patterns are popular for
waists; and ginghams, having a
silk or satin stripe effect, are among
the best sellers.
Big scarfs of tulle tied in a bow
under the chin are fashionable ad
junct to all dress toilettes. From
one yard and half to two yards is
needed to make generous tie and a
full width of the tulle.
From London comes the news that
jerseys have been revived again and
are having quite a run. They are
made with pulled sleeves and sell
largely in light-colored silk stock
met.
To be up-to-date, wear one gigan-
tic blossom well planted on the cor
sage. 1t will cover the front of your
gown almost, but do not mind.
Choose poppy, or wild, wild rose,
violet or a single dahlia, and let it
be "Brobdingnagian.n Wear it for

SHAMoKIN, Pa, Aug. 1.-Two men wcrs
