gle loops~aTes new skirt borders. For
evening wear turquoise and coral effects
in bead garnitures and edges are the
style. Colored silk appliques and lace
appliques are in good demand.
The verdict of the retail houses and
manufacturers is tina braids will have a
big run during the coming spring.
Braids, ,corsage garniture. buttons and
buckles all have a place, and the proper
one is marked by a chic style to the gar
ment.
A woman who has made a study of
the nervous ailments of her sex gives
the following terse bits of advice TO
young women who seek instruction upon
the preservation Of health and beauty
Fake a wholesome delight in physical
| exercise and outdoor sports. The pale,
| delicate girl is no longer interesting.
Have freedom and comfort in dress at
all times.
Decide upon a definite aim in life, and
| choose one that is worthy of an immor-
tai soul.
Be superior to envy. jealousy and I'M
charitabIeness.
Control your temper for the sake of
your good looks as we'll as for your
health. 1t is not enough, either, merely
to keep from giving anger its outward
| expression. A smouldering fire is Tar
more dangerous to health h that
which comes to the surface and is uick
ly ~extinguished. A disposition which
continually .boils's within, often hnds
physical expression in boils and ulcers.
Wrath has a natural tendency to curdle
the blood, and the continually curdled
condition is bound to show itself on the
| surface sooner or later. 1t is an old
story that anger interferes with the
digestion, a fact which is nevertheless
frequently disregarded as more than one
irrascible dyspeptic can testify.
Live above worry, care, fear and all
other corroding and inharmonious
thought.
Finally. cultivate a sweetly serene
frame of mind under all circumstances.
Do not allow yourself to be a creature
of moods, in depths of gloom and de-
preston one day and on the heights OF
hilarity and mirth the next.

.aThe children will make amends for
much that is distasteful in you life,
writes MTS. buIlOA I>iiiSolNhN
Mother-in-Law in the Home in the Feb
ruary Ladies Home Journal" THE very
fact that you have more leisure to give
them than their mother. with her many
interests and duties, gives you a vantage
ground, and none reward a little devotion
with such responsiveness as little chill
dren.
Exact as little as possible from the
| servants. and thank them courteously for
what they do for you, and look for oppor-
tunities to do them an occasional kind
ness. Never let them think that you
watch them.
IF you have property which you ex-
pect to leave to this family, do not claim
| special attention and consideration as a
! right, and if poor and dependent, do not
| talk of being a burden. nor luxuriate in
that contemplate thing, self-pity. You
need not be a burden. We can all be hap
piness-makers if we will.
MAKE it a principle never to report
anything that transpires in your sons
household. even in strictest confidence, to
any friend or outside member of the fam
ily.'

come usually from a~bnormally dry con-
dition of the skin. They need persistent
treatment to effect a cure. The fingers
should be soaked a few minutes every
night and the dry and the loosened skin
| carefully cut away, then rosaline applied
for the double purpose of nourishing and
healing the tender skin should be left on
over hight. Women have learned that
manicure articles in sets are to be avoid
ed. each to be chosen separately, as in
that way the best is to be obtained. The
jewelers. file is to be preferred over any
other for this use. If one has not a nail
polfsher. a piece of glace kid glove is an
excellent substitute. While near the sub
! iect. it may be suggested that a remedy
for nail-biting is to dip the fingers after
washing in glycerine that has quinlne In
it. Any druggist will prepare the solution,
| and the bitter taste which follows an at
tempt to bite the nails. is usually all the
/ warning that one needs. This nail-biting
has been the subject of scientific inquiry,
and it has been indicative of a certain
phase of -vousn which passes from
/ one generation to another.

see that a great deal of emphasis is being
laid OF ,the sort of pins used in skewering
pretty hats to pretty heads. No fewer
! han six pins can be counted in among the
| roses and other things on an average
theatre bonnet. while hats, wide and mar
row. bristle with them. They have not
lust commonplace black heads on them
either, for it's the head that gives the ex-
cuse for the pin. They are opals and emer-
| aids. lack stones and amethysts, glitter
ing amid feathers and foliage. Most of
these are mock jewels, costing from 10
cents to 81. and lending great lustre to the
CAV headpiece they assist in fastening on.
| Cabochon gems and drops of colored
glass. set round with little diamonds,
make up the major portion of every
woman's collection, though her best and
most treasured pin is usually topped with
3 little gold and enameled coat of arms.
SKINNED milk is being used for making
buttons. combs, backs of hair brushes,
pool balls and similar articles. TIL pro-
cess was invented by an Englishman. The
milk is mixed with a substance the in
Gradients of which are, of course the sec
ref of the inventor. 1t is compressed. and
at the end of three days is as solid as
ceu,,loid. and is ready to be cut and shaped
IN any way the manufacturer wishes. At
nrescnt a factory in Holland is engaged
in fashioning the hardened milk into var
ious articles, buttons being the chief.
