To keep the complexion and spirits

um SO valuable. no exercise more be.
neficent in its results than sweeping,
busting, making beds, washing dishes
and polishing of brass and silver. One
year Of such muscular effort within
doors, together with regular exercise in
the open air. will do more for wom-
ans complexion than all the lotions and

haps the reason why Homework does 30
much more for women than games seem
to do is because the exercise once begun
must be carried on to the finish. 1t Of

How to Clean Plaster of Paris.

A clean piece of whiting should be
