WORRYING is A YIcR.
It Is Responsible for More wrinkles
ON the Face Than Sickness or
Hard work.

A famous actress once said: Worry
is the foe to all beauty" and she might
have added: ut is also the foe to all
health" Nothing will bring lines and
wrinkles so soon to face as worry.
There are people who worry and worry
over thing for years. 1t may be some
thing they wish that they had not done.
or it may be something that they long
TO do. The thought of it is with them
the moment they open their eyes in
the morning. aud it is the last thing
they think of before falling to sleep;
it may even happen that they dream of
it, and very, very often it will keep
them awake for hours.
Now, what is the good of it? Will
worrying remedy what is past, or will
it bring the future one day nearer? Is
any good to be obtained by it at all?
No, il is not, and you know it is not
''But," you say. ''the thing is on my
mind and can't get rid of it, however
try" It can be done, though, if you
try really hard enough. Here is one
remedy, and you must say it is q pleas
mt one. The instant the worry take,
possession of you, think of some pleas
ure you have had at one time in yoor
life. The worry viii try to poke its
way between, but you must take firm
hold OF it and put it out Recall ore
pleasure after another, and as it brings
a smile TO your lips and a light to your
eyes your face will slowly but surely
assume different and very much more
pleasant expression Get into thehab-
it of bordering over the pleasant things
which happen to you each day and for
get all the unhappy ones. An old lady
once kept what she called pleasure
book" and in it she made point of
recording each day some pleasure she
had had. "No matter how dull or tire
some the day has been" she said. Il can
always find something to put into my
hook"

SUPERFLUoUS WORK.
how Some Women Waste Their
Strength and Make Everybody
IN the House Uncomfortable.

There are some people with such a
strong instinct for cleanliness that
they win use up all the time and
strength they have in all varieties of
super1uous duties. There are certain
articles which are just as valuable and
Just as useful after they have become
oxidized by exposure as they were be
FORE No one expects TO have the brass
ornaments on trunks or on many other
such utilitarian articles secured and
kept as bright as they were in the shop
in which they were purchased. There
are women who scour the grasses"
on trunks and on all variety Of objects.
and such women are certainly wasting
time. A woman whose house is so clean
that it seems in the perfection of order
and neatness, if she finds time to look
for things out of order. will often do
some such senselcss thing as scour
other ways of occupying time with
equally superfluous work. Trimming
on the plain, everyday underwear of
little children is equally superfluous.
1t requires an exceptional amount of
common sense to know when work is
supernuous and when il is strictly nee
essary. Any mother of children and
head of u household has enough neces-
sary work to do, so that she cannot at
tempt to do superfuous work without
neglecting some duty thet is a neccs-
sity. even if 1t Is only the duty of rest

CARE OF THE HAIR.
Nothing Adds More to Woman's At
Effectiveness Than Becom-
Ing Couture.
Nov5-2m.

There is nothing that affects the ap-
pearance more than the arrangement
of the hair. When n woman finds a
style that is becoming to her, she
should not change it TO follow every ca
price of fashion. IL parting the hair
in the middle looks better than n
pompadour, wear it in that way by all
means. Those who are blessed with
curly hair need not worry about waves
and ringlets about the forehead. but
if it is necessary to use crimping pins.
good bandoline is n great help. 1t
may be made by soaking ounce seed
in water all night. Remove the seeds
in the morning, wet the hair that is
TO be crimped with the water and roll
ii up while it is wet 1t will stay
crimped a long time.
If you wish to have pretty hair, it is
necessary to keep it clean. yet it is
often injured by using ammonia or
strong soap in washing. Fill wash

dissolve a teaspoonful of borax in it.
Wet the head with the water, rub
enough good toilet soap on it to make
q strong lather and wash the scalp vig-
orously. RoraN is perfectly harmless
vet it is an excellent cleanser, and very
little soap is needed. Immerse the long
| hair in the water and rub it between the
hands as you would a soiled garment
to wash it. Rinse with warm, clear
water. wipe as dry as possible with n
towel, then spread the hair over the
shoulders and sit near the fire. CO in
the open air IL it is warm enough. so it
will dry quickly. Rub n little vaseline
on the hair to keep it from flying about.
This restores the oil that is removed
by washing; at no other time is any
oil or pomade necessary. The hair

other nieces to whom l have no de-
sire to allow anything. They are all
nice girls. in their way, and I've no

but they aren't Doris. She was always
