a difference of o~pinionssYou -haxesagreed
to disagree, butsthe quarrel still ranlxies
and your daily intercourse only tends to
infiame the wound. You are prone,
unless you are an exceptional woman,
to magnify small things into Sights and
offenses until your little world is all out
of proportion. Am absence of a day
from such an atmosphere will do you a
world of gocd-physical and mental
good. Spend ii as you choose; go out
of town, or take a day to shop in the
stores; bury yurself in a library with
just an hour for lunch, or get up a days
cycling trip. Wherever you &C or what
ever you do you will find that there are
SO many interests beside your own that
you are are troubling about a very small
thing.

Elderly people ard others who may
be temporarily horse-bound and pre-
vented from employing a regular daily
| stroll outdoors can devise a fair sub
| stitute as follows, says the Health
Magazine: Bundle up as if fer the
| usual constitutional, select a large, sum
ny room, preferably at the top of the
house. open wide the windows, shut off
| the heat and move around briskly, going
! to the window and inhaling the fresh
| air deeply through the nostrils. We
have often called attention to the fact
! that house air, with its many impurities,
| overheated condition and general lifeless-
| ness. is one CT the principal predisposings
| causes of colds and catarrhal affections.
Where a patient or invalid is confined to
bed, if the shoulders are kept well COW
cred and TIE head lightly protected, the
windows may be opened and the room
flushed with fresh air without any spe-
cial risk, provided the current does not
strike them too directly. The danger
from want of proper ventilation is de-
cidedly greater.
Deep inhalations of air at the open
window, taken gently through the nose,
impart an enlivening and tonic influence
to the whole nervous system, which can
soon be demonstrated by a personal ex-
pertinent.
With the arrival of spring it will be
found that the girl who could not ac-
complish a shining ponpadour has gone
in for elaborate curling. To do this she
is making her hair as fluffy as possible.
The locks should be riDpled first, combed
out and then curled, just as if it had not
been rippled at all. When finally combed
out the hair viii be all a crinkle 1t viii
fluff up to an amazing extent, and will
hold its fluff, too. A rat is hardly.
needed for the pompaGour, the comb is
caught On the under eide of the side locks,
which ends turn under, held by the comb.
This is a new trick. too, but just take a
good look at the Lenten ladies meekly
vending their way to church, and you
will see that the crinkled hair is the lat
est effort to get away from bangs and
curls.
The boa promises to play a prominent
part among Easter wedding properties.
Both brides and bridesmaids will make
use of it, and to an astonishing degree.
White is the color, of course, preferred,
though boas of delicate tints are also
much worn. For the bridal party in
street costume, 10 daintier adjunct than
the boa is to be mag aed. and with even
ing or semi-evening dress it is never UNI
welcome. It's universal becon.ingness
gees without saying. 1t makes a pretty
woman prettier, and it makes a homely
woman look almost pretty. The bridal
boa partakes of the general characters
ties of IT species this year. It is of ex-
IRENE fu.Aness, but somewhat shorter
thar that once deemed elegant.
Salads are as necessary for children as
they are for adults, but they must be
of a very delicate nature. Celery dressed
with oil and a few drops of lemon juice
is very nice, provided the celery is
young. white, tender and chopped very
fine. If lettuce is used it should be the
very tender young pieces, from the centre
of the head, cut just as serving time into
very fine sheds, dressed with oil and a
few drops Of lemon juice. Mayonnaise
dressing should never be used. Carefully
cooked spinach. chopped very fine, may
be served also with a French dressing.
Endiye should be cut into thin strips and
dressed. Outside of tibet greens mentioned
there are very few others that are advis-
able to give to children.
Tea cloths should be used only for
cleansing and drying china: such cloth
must be regularly rinsed and dried and
kept ready for immediate use.
Cloths for knives and tinware must be
kept specially for their purpose. In ad-
dition TO rinsing and drying, they must be
washed with soap and water several times
a week and rinsed in c1ean, cold water and
ironed, which tends to keep them clean
longer, and once a week they should be
boiled. This is the only way to prevent
