THE NAPE OF THE NECK.
1t Makes or Mars the Beauty of IL
WOman's Head.

WOmans Head.
fERY-few women know how impor-
taDt the nape Of the neck is. If
~ there is one point of the body that
III the average girl neglects and the
wise beauty cares for it is this spot
why, there is nothing" said a gorgeous
example of the sex, That finally completes
"A beautiful woman's triumph as does the
nape Of the neck. II the line is graceful, If
the skin is pure and the small accidental
rings OF hair that fall are artisiicahy man
aged, the spell that this part of "A woman
exerts over "A man is tremendous. l must
say that few women have good napes. A
girl who always wears her dresses cut high
to her hair Will usually be dark and I'M
attractive there. There's nothing like the
air to purify the skin, and the more a girl
lets her neck catci, the brcezcs the fairer
il will get. This is not geneally believed,
but let any woman ask herself If the few
dark spots on her are not where the skin
has been constantly hot and covered. Well,
the nape of the neck is peculiar in this re-
gard. To be white it must be kept free of
woplens and the hair. Once given good
skin the rest Is easy. OF course the neck
shows to the best advantage when the hair
is brushed up and away from II, but there
should he some tiny little stray thistle
downs of hair falling away from the rest.
These must be natural, mind, or at least
Just separated ana curitd Win lhe fingers
Oh, the horror OF the girl who has curled
that part of her hair with an iron! and, oh,
the crime OF the girl who has made bang
there, If the hair is skillfully managed
and the skin white, then the only thing de-
sired Is the good line A woman who
presses her chin down and holds her head
suffly cannot have a good line at the
neck. The chin must be raised Il little and
the head carried somewhat up and pushed
forward. This gives a perfect angle from
Just betwee the shoulders to the hair.

Cnndied Ornnye Peel.

NOW that other fruit is scarce, oranges
claim their share of attention, and when
used in quantities it is often desirable Ia
preserve the peel. This may be candied TO
form an excellent substitute for citrOn in
cakes and pies. Cut the orange peel in
quarters and lay the pieces in lukewarm
water and let them soak for two or three
DAYS. or until the bitter flavor is ex-
tracted. The water should he frequently
changed and kept as nearly as possible
at the same temperature. Then put the
orange peel into fresh water and boil
slowly until tender enough to be easily
pierced with a fork. Then drain off the
water and put the peel into a thick syrup
of granulated sugar and boil slowly until
nearly all the sugar is absorbed. Then
spread the peel on plates, pour the rest
Of the syrup On it and dry it in warm
oven.

match in color the flowers in her center

Altogether each candlestick will cost but
little, and they may he used in many ef-
feciivc ways. One candlestick placed al

4 New DuSter Bag.

The latest thing in bags for busters is TO
cut two pieces of cretonne about half
yard square. In one of them cut a circular
hole in the center. Have it about one-third
of the width Of the square. Line the squares
with silesia or silk. and bind the one which
is cut with ribbon an inch wide to match
the lining. Stitch the squares together,
finish the corners with taSsels or bows OF
ribbon, put dra wing string around the cir
cular opening, fastcn ribbons on either
side of il by which it can be hung up, and
your bag is made.
