care of her personal health. Or perhaps
it is the desire--a very natural cne-lof
providing hnery for the little ones as

children wear. But it IS better for the
youngsters to be more plainly dressed
and for the mother to enjoy her recrea-

These opinions of this bright young
woman seemed to be so appropriate to
time and season, SO well thought out and
sensible that I obtained her permission
to give them to readers Of the nsWoman's
Page" in case they know OF a case in
which Natures cure is required.
The Englishwoman is greatly to be adj
mired for her utter refusal to worry or
to be worried, and the Consequence is that
h looks young at 50. says a medical
authority. She undertakes no more than
she can comfortably carry out, and thor
oughly believes in the coming of another
day: not that she procrastinates, but she
simply will not let the domestic machin-
cry grind her down to ill-aealth and early
old age.
She is a frequent bather, and regards
health as the prime factor of life, to be
looked after before everything else,
thought the breakfast be an hour late.
She sleeps nine hours, and takes a nap
during the day at that. She arranges
her days work in the most systematic
manner, and her little memorandum slip
always shows two vacant hours; they
are for rest. She eats heartily, but of the
most digestible food.
In the most modest home, no matter
how little there may be on the table,
there is nothing but the best. She would
rather nave a moufhful of good food and
go partly hungry than eat a whole meal
of cheaper things. She Is a r econo-

and is a true believer in the allowance

Writing or dressing the hair, Isabel A.
Mallon, In September Ladies Home
Journal" says that "a pretty and abso-
lutely new couture is the one that, while
it rather gives the blouse effect, really
consists of three deep waves that turn
back, and which are, of course, made by
the iron. At the back the hair is arrang-
ed in a double eight twist that shows well
at the sides, but does not rise above the
top of the head. Women who have very
little hair can tie 1t close to the head,
fasten the switch ON by a string drawn
through its loop. which is the best way
and then, pinning down their W hair
close to the head, arrange the switch to
form the double eight. Elderly ladies, es-
| pecially those whose hair has grown en-
tirely white. wear.i 1t oftenest in a Pompa-
dour roll, which requires a small pad I'M
der 1t, and then in the back have a plated
switch carefully pinned to the hair in a
loop-like fashion. Many ladies who have
reached middle age or passed it adhere
TO the couture selected as becoming when
they were young and it must be con-
fessed that there is a certain dignity
about this"
So few are the survivors among those

It IS said that when you are molested
by ants they may be destroyed by TAX

birthstone and two ounces of potash,
putting them IN an iron or earthen dish

not return.
