thoughtfulness of the girls who either
know or want to know your brother,
says a writer in the Washington Star.
| 1t is one of the several pleasant things
| connected with the growing up what was
| small brother. Girls call that never
| called before The debutantes cover you
| with delicate attention. If you are Of
an unsuspicious disposition you will think
| the charm lies in yourself; but If you are
moderately sharp you will see through It,.
| You are invited to small affairs of the
buds that reason will tell you you would
| not be thought an addition to were 1t not
! for the halo Of glory that a young man
| brother poises above your brow. You
| see SO much of the fine side of girl nature
| that you gradually reform the rather Sc
we're judgments that you made from your
| own experiences with your own sex
| perhaps girls are better than you believed
/ after all. There is not much danger Of
| your ever having too good an opinion Of
girl nature, however. For May will in
the course Of a nice. coy afternoon tea
cnat tell you how untidy Bess and Dodo
and Lily are, and how Katy and Julia
and Clara and call the other girls
smoke cigarettes, and how Lizzie and
Helen and Anna and Maud let the men
hold their hands. And Bess or Julia or
Helen will drop in some morning and
tell you just about the same thing, only
that Mays name will appear in all the
lists of sinners and the speakers name
will be conspicuous by its absence. Then
you realize that the coming girl is not
much more of a saint than you are.
They talk to you in a confiding sort of
way, rather as If you were the elder

bore, and she's catfish and hateful, too,
but dear met how all the other girls do
love her How they make her handker-
chiefs and embroideries that show or
their needlework; how those who are
too proper to give the brother their
photographs, lay them at the sisters
shrine; how many "sprees" she gets in

vain; how her opinion is catered to-;
how her jokes are laughed at and her
eternal stories of conquests impossible
she ever should have made are listened
to with rapt attention. ! know, because

that l am pretty nice to her, whereas
under other circumstances l wouldn't

That girls goose. She hasn't an idea
that 1t isn't she who attracts, which

things.
I sometimes wonder why domestic wo-

have watched with wonder the trans
formation of a very pretty, dressy and
stylish girl into dowdy, understanding
married woman.
l would not like to believe that this
transformation was due to their entering
the matrimonial state but rather that
they, thinking very mistakingly, that they
had no more to gain by keeping up their
looks, lapsed into careless dressing, care
lessness in arranging their hair, and also
In many small personal details.
They seem to think that their virtues
as wives and mothers make up for any
shock that the outward woman may give
the eye of the beholder A very few, more
serious, might possibly assert that it is
sinful to spend so much time cultivating
the natural gifts, but think Incidence and
carelessness is really the base of most of
this state of feminine affairs.
To most women bicycling in the morning
means heefy, burned faces, faded hair
and Drowned, freckled hands. But this
condition is~all the result of lack of care.
When you return from a ride warm and
tired, undress lesurely, and get into some
thing light and loose.
Then take bit of cream and rub it thor
oughly into the face, neck and hands
Pull loose gloves on the latter, and after
short rest your duties about the house
can be attended to, even without removing
the gloves.
After a while wipe off the cream with a
soft cloth and apply more. doing this
many times until the skin has become cool
and fair to see. If cream of any sort is
not at hand, buttermilk, not too fresh, will

pores are thoroughly cleansed.
| Many women think it uncleanly to go

| TO the faucet many times each day and
! dash water over the long suffering com
plexion. But at night they go to bed
without the warm bath that cleanses and
! freshens and this latter is of more value
| than the continual Raging of the face

The oliVe-hued woman Is apt to find
that hiking in the open air, especially at

olive skin dark and leathery.
But she can counterfeit this and get all

cream. Knead it in until every trace OF

merely tepid, and with plenty of good soap.

towel rub the face very gently but thor

| Not more than ten minutes need be

Pearls are the fad of the hour, says the
