A Silvery Peal is the
Merry Ha, Ha.
ART OF BLUSBING.
Some Droll New Ideas in
Women'S Heads.

A school for blushing and teachers of
laughing are among the end of-the-cen-
fury novelties. Young women are
laughing a great deal these days; some
Of, them are also blushing a great deal
There are people who make their liv-
Ing, so it is said, out of teaching these
demoislles how to do both gracefully
and easily.
The school for blushing is located in
Paris. You may say that it ought not
TO be necessary for a young and right
minded woman to go all the way to
Paris to learn to blush, and that, if
there is place where blushing has be-
come a lost art, it is Paris. The Paris
sSns, on their part, declare that the
craze for blushing is a result of an
glomania, and the influence of the
American girl. The grace and simple
ity of the early decades of the century,
with their downcast eyes and gentle
little affectatious seem beautiful to a
generation of golf players and bicycle
riders, and the maidens who have for
gotten how to blush are going to school
to learn the primitive art.
So much for Paris. On this side of
the Atlantic women S[lll plush when
there is anything to blush for.
OF course, it is only society girls that
feel the need of laughing lessons; the
ordinary, average maiden laughs as she
eats and sleeps, naturally and without
thought as to its effect on others
But society affirms that there is good
form in laughing and bad form, that
the silvery, light-hearted, musical
laugh is good form, and that the loud
hearty laugh Of camaraderie which be-
fits the mountain or seaside resort is
not appropriate for the drawing room
The tuning fork is a necessary adj
junot to the laughing lesson, for the
pupil must be taught TO pitch her laugh
in every known key
Just as there is art in producing the
right kind Of life, so there is art in
knowing what pitch of laugh to use
on a given occasion in order to ex-
press the various degrees of interest
derison, fiattery, solicitude, and the
like.
The idea is droIl, is it not? But if it
results in the coralling Of some of the
laugs that one hears let loose in Wor-
cester drawing rooms, 1t will not have
been in vain.

A FEW HEALTH HINTS.
They Are Designed. However, for Those
Who Are Without Health.

VINO Are Wlthout HeaItn'
A fine draught for those that are
weak and have a cough may be made
up by beating up fresh egg and mix
ing it with quarter Of a pint of warm
milk, a large spoonful Of capillaire, the
same of rose water, and a little scraped
nutmeg. Do not warm it after the egg
is put in. Take in morning and night.
A very agreeable draught can be made
of tumbler of fresh, cold water, a ia
blespoonful of capillaire and a table
spoonful of good vinegar. Tamarinds,
currants, fresh or in jelly. and scalded
cranberries. with or without sugar,
make excellent drinks.
Toast water is made by slowly toast
ing a thin piece of bread until thor
oughly Drowned and hardened, then
plunging it into a jug of cold water, and
covering it for an hour, This is Of par
ticular value in the case of weak bow
els. Barley water both delicate and
nutritious, calls for one ounce of pearl
barley, half an ounce of white sugar
and the rind Of a lemon, all placed in a
jug. Pour upon it a quart of boiling
water, and let it stand for eight or ten
hours, when it should be strained, and
have a slice of lemon added.
Apple water is delicate and strength
ening. Cut two large apples in slices
