From the fEllaueipnla inquirer.
Nothing is a greater blemish to the face
of woman than a red nose. This irri-
tating condition may arise from various
causes, one of the chief being Indigestion.
A habit of boiling the food is very often
the cause of the indigestion which shows
itself thus. Sufferers from red noses aris-
ing from indigestion should be most careful
in their diet, avoiding heating foods and
hot drinks. The food should be taken
slowly, and each mouthful be well masti-
Gated. Sometimes a red nose is due to the
dryness Of the nasal duct or dclicacy of the
capillary organs. The Inflammation may
then be treated as follows: Prepare wash
containing 15i grains of powdered boraX.
one teaspoorful of eau de cologne and five
ounces of soft water. First dissolve the
borax in the water and then add the eau de
cologne. When the nose burns damp it with
this lotion and let it dry on. If, when dry,
it still burns, repeat the treatment. An
other mixture for the same trouble may be
made as follows:
Dissolve thirty grains of borax in one
ounce of rose water and orange water in
equal parts. Wet the nose with this lotion
about three times day, letting it dry on.
When the redness of the nose arises from
q kind of congestion 1t should be washed
in warm water only on going to bed.
A cold in the head will often produce a
red and infiamed condition of the nose. A
little cold cream should then be applied to
the sore parts. The following is an easily
prepared and safe recipe for cold cream:
Get half pound of the very best lard, put
1t in basin, pour on it boiling water, and
when cold drain it off. Repeat this process
three times; then. after quite freeing the
lard from the water, beat it to a cream
with a fork and scent it with essence of
bergamot.
The nostrils should never be touched with
the fingers To wash them, a little hot
water should be snuffed up and then eject

A New Game.
From Truth.

from Truth.
A pleasan. way to entertain an evening
party is to introduce the new and fascin-
ating game of Hobgobinks, which is play
ed in the following manner: A long parlor
or saloon is required, possibly two. In
fact, it is a good plan to prepare as many
as you have, for II is an extensive game.
Remove the pictures and bric-a-brac from
the walls, and group the chairs I'm the mid
die of the rtom. Each guest is then pro-
vidcd with a pail of kaisomine and white
wash brush, with which he or she makes
grotesque splash on the wall. These i'm
promptu pictures are often very funny and
much merriment is the result. BY having
the Wallpaper and the kalsomine of pleas
antly contrasting colors, beautiful effects
may be obtained. Or n rail or two of liquid
lampblack adds variety to the collection.
A small prize, say bicycle, or silver serv-
ice, should be awarded to the one who sue
ceeds in making the largest picture with
one splash of the brush. AS there is more
or less danger of scattering, the thought
full hostess will provide her guests with
aprons to protect their clothing.
Very effective and pretty aprons may be
made from 1t mstltched linen handkerchief
ornamented with drawn work or embro!-
derry by the hostess own fair hands. One
side of the andkerchief should be gather
ed on a ribbon, which may be tied about
the waist.

more acceptable. as the back will be al
lowed its graceful concave curves which
are not only hidden. but deformed by the
folds of the Russian blouse.
Braids and braiding show 10 abatement
in public favor and as women always favor
any style which tends to make the waist
look smaller, NEW design Is introduced
which promises to be popular on this ac-
count.
New Design in Braid.
The effect is produced by a wide braid
down the front, rather in the style of the
boxplait of last year. This is connected by
narrow braid, arranged in bias stripes from
the armholes to the wide center braid, mar
rowing on either side. so as to eliminate
In point at the waist. A spider webbing
of black silk joins the stripes of braid and
gives lacelike appearance to the blouse.
The skirt trimming must match the bodice
and the pointed effect of the braiding can
on top of the front and side cores of the
skirt.
Another blouse is made of silk Hercules
braid in a shield effect, crossed at the yoke
by bands of braid. edged with a fluted silk
braid. This effective little ruffle also edges
either side of the belt which holds the
blouse front in place.
One of the most effective and original
designs for trimming the bottom of the
skirt consists of five rows of narrow braid
arranged in form of three sides of an oc-
tagon, with a black design at intervals.
A bOwknot design is another handsome
trimming for edging skirts and bodices.
The large shops show them made of silk
wooden braid with jet heading-or in
gold braid embroidered in daintily colored
beads and spangles-all ready to be APP
piGued on the gown.
For Evening Wear.
For the evening OF demi-toilet, fronts
of black net covered with gold or silver
spangles show that the love for glitter il;
not outgrown. For matrons. novelty is
shown in black net robes, spangled in blue
reflective of the favor which the combna-
ton of black and blue finds in garments
for all occasions.
While on the subject of evening wear
we must not forget the invention of a de-
cided novelty which is so effective and
unique that it is sure to supply the demand
1t is called Point d'Orchid and is an APP
plique of black net orchids embroidered in
silk, on a ground of white mousseline de
sole or finest white tulle.
All indications point to the fact that
laces will be as much worn In the coming
spring and summer as they have during
the past seasons.
Flounccs of lace will be most popular
and some cheap silk laces are finely knife
pleated, rs exempliiicd in a young ladies
frock of white SATIN. the skirt of which

founces of knife-Dleatad white silk lace

MOnOtOnOus Lives.
From Harper's Bazaar.

From Harper's Bazaar.
Monotonous or colorless lives are lived by
two classes Of peopie-those who appear to
like them and those who pretend not to do
SO.
Those who like quiet monotonous living
do NOT need our pity If they prefer a
placid existence, which does not make
strenuous demands on their minds or their
bodies. they have a right to choose.
They remind one continually of the old
rhyme of the sloth who refused to get up
i'll the morning to look at the sunrise at
can be DONE" ne said, without advice
from me-
TO an unprecedented mind life seems to
have been made to get ahead in, and if we
refuse to learn or to grow to suffer or to
feel, during the opportunities we have in
this world, We cannot wonder that we
know no more at its end than we did at it's
beginning.
But we cannot pity those who complain
of the monotony of daily living. Lives are
only monotonous where the livers wish
them SO to be. New aspirations, new de-
sires, new thoughts, introduced into life,
Will certainly change its current. and, in
time, its environment and conditions. Peo-
pie who complain of monotony are usually
too mentally lazy to plan new circum-
stances for themselves.
