Housekeepine Accounts.

The habit of keeping strict account of
every cent received and spent is one of
the most effectual checks to unnecessary
outlay. If it is to be of any service this
account must be kept regularly and pre-
cisely The entries however trifing, should
be made daily, and at the end of the week
the sum total on either side should be
added up and balanced, care being taken to
notice whether the cash in hand agrees
with the statement of account. At certain
fixed dates, such as the end of each week
or the end of each month, the details of
payment should be examined. and each
item carried out and placed under its re-
spective head, such as meat, bread, milk,
beer, etc.
By this means a comparison can be easily
made between the expenses of one week
and those of another, and excess or un-
necessary expenditure can be at once dis
covered and checked. When the ready
money system is not adopted In the family
and bills are sent in for payment a separ-
ate book should be kept, in which an entry
can be made of every article supplied for
household use, and this book should be
compared with the tradesmen's accounts
when they are presented for payment, so
that any discrepancy between the two may
be pointed out and rectifed.

rat the pouapadour could never become Of
fensively conspicuous. The early era of the
pompadour was delightful in one way, it
allowed one to wear ones hair naturally.
If it did not curl naturally, very well, then
ii was worn straight and simply drawn
loosely back from the face Now it must
be curled, whether wayiness be its natural
state or not. And the fact that it must not
be too tightly curled does not simplify mat
ters at all. To produce the waved effect
which must prevail all over the head, both
top and sides, until the hair reaches the
coil either at the back of the head or the
nape of the neck, one hairdresser here
makes what she calls natural wave. She
has a theory that all hair can be coaXed to
curl more or less unless it is wiry. She
vets strand of hair and interlaces it with
her four fingers; that is, one finger goes
over and the other under the strand. After
holding 1t In this position for a moment a
wave will be left in it when the fingers are
Withdrawn. She does this all over the hair
which Is to be crimped or waved. Then she
coaxes those waves into permanency by
pushing them into deeper undulations with
her skillful fingers. After little practice
any one can do the same thing and the
waved result lasts several days. For, being
made by the use of water instead of irons
it does not disappear with the first hint of
dampness.
Waved hair. drawn softly back into a
knot or coil, however, is not the only fea-

Value of Buttermiik.

From the Womans Home Companion.
The housewives who always use sweet
milk and baking powder in articles where
such ingredients or their equivalents are
called for little guess the superior results
which may be obtained from the use of sour
milk or butterHilk and soda If sour milk
is used 1t must be freshly soured, not stale;
hence, the best time to use it is in the sum-
mer time. Buttermilk Is preferable all the
year round. Biscuits, griddle cakes, waf-
fes, corn breads. mullins. gems, ginger
breads, cookies. etc, are all of them more
tender, delicate and probably more whole
some (since the majority of baking powders
are adulterated), if they are made of but
termilk and soda A general rule is one
level teaspoonfui of soda to one pint of but
termilk or freshly soured milk The soda
must be first pulveriZed by rubbing with a
knife on the table or bread board, then add
ed to the flour, to be sifted with it, 1t is
even well to sift the flour. soda and salt to-
gether two or three times, to insure an
even blending. In a very short time one
learns to gauge the soda exactly to the
acidity of the milk to be used Baking
powder cannot give the best results in the
class of articles enumerated above.

Proper Time for a Bath.
tho yyoms.,a fsta


Regarding the proper time for bath, a
simple general rule may be given. Take
cold baths onG rising in the morning and
warm ones just before retiring. In taking
Turkish or Russian baths the hour need
not be considered. except as in all baths,
none Of which should be taken less than
an hour or so before or after meals
Where 1t is possible, use fresh, clean rain
water for the bath. This is the nearest
approach to distilled water, which is too
expensive for general use. Soft water is
next best 70 rain water. and a little borax
or ammonia in hard water will soften it.
Brisk rubbing should always follow
bath; then the bath will do all that is
claimed for it in the way of renoyating the
person. invigorating the system, increas-
ing the fineness and softness of the skin
and making one look and feel younger.
Cleanliness of the skin has great effect
on the general health, and 1t Is well known
that If one has been exposed to infection
the best thing to do by way of precautien
Is to take a hot bath Immediately.
1t Is mistake to remain too long in a
tepid bath. Thirty minutes should be the
limit. Throughout the winter and early
spring it is best, IL one is at all liable to
chills, to take ones bath at night. just be-
fore going to bed. II taken in the daytime,
brisk exercise Immediately afterward-
either walking or dumb bell PRACTICES
highly bene6olal.

ture of the latest method of dressing ones
locks. The wave must be so loose that IL
really is a low pompadour on top of the
head. Then there must be a fringe. Not
an English fringe or American bang, but a
few loosely curled. short locks lying about
the temples. If they were out of curl they
would be a fringe, and some women wear
them straight with plain gowns when going
about the serious business cf life. II they
are worn straight they must be cut with
mathematical exactness just as the bang of
yore. And they must be very short.
With full dress gowns the straight POM
padour and the new pompadour waved all
the way back to the knot on top of the
head are the preferred methods Of dressing
the hair. With this high arrangement OF
the hair there Is always some ornament
worn. The universal bow knot, / am glad
TO be able to chronicle killed itself, or, so
be more exact, committed suicide by over
popularity. Butterflies or artiaeial flowers
are worn very often. / trambled the last
night of the opera for fear there would be
combination of the two on the head of
one enterprising matron who had found q
diamond tiara too low, and butterfly as
large as bat too small, and a wreath OF
flowers alone too inconspicuous. She spared
her anxious friends, however. and 1t is 20
be hoped that every one will follow her ex-
ample.
Tortoise shell ornaments are always beau
tiful and always in good taste. although
not snowy enough for this brilliant and
glittering tinsel season. Tortoise shell
combs to hold the knot OF hair in place are
Invaluable, and those with curve are, of
course, the best.
Whether ornamented or unOrna m nted,
however, when thinking and speaking of
womans hair. we have to hark back to the
old phrase of "crowning glory" And IL IS
pity that the constant use of this phrase
has taken the meaning out of il to such an
extent that 1t is hard to convince women
that indifference about the hair is quite as
glaring as Indifference about the use OF
soap and water. MABEL BOYD.

upon the market. some Of them destined
to attain a permanent place among the de-
sirable sorts, others to deserved oblivion.
The Crimson Rambler, though not justi-
flying all that has been claimed for 1t, is a
really fine climber, vigorous, hardy and
beautiful In color. On the other hand, the
pink Loupert,, which has been lauded to the
skies by the nurserymen for the past two
years, is a very ordinary rose, scarcely SUI
perior to the common cinnamon rose of
dusty New England waysides. The Golden
Gate Is good garden rose under the best
conditions, and SO is the American Beauty.
Other new roses or somewhat new, that
have survived the test of several years out
of-door culture are the Bridesmaid, pink:
Maman Cochet, pink; Belle Siebrecht, pink;
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, pure white: Prin-
cess Bonnie red; Souvenir de Wooton, red !;
Meteor. scarlet; Sunset, yellow; Mrs. Rob-
ert Garrett, white.
The Favorite La France.
But none Of the new favorites can ever
hope to eclipse the long-established queen
of roses, La France. Perfection of color,
shape perfume, profusion of bloom. hardi-
ness, all are combined in this peerless rose.
Closely following comes the pearl of the
garden, already mentioned, an absolutely
perfect yellow rose. exquisitely fragrant
and vigorous grower.

called perpetual bloomers, but most OF
them, if cut back after the first blooming,
will produce flowers in the fall. The Amer
lean Beauty adds continuous blooms to its
other superb qualities. AS this class make

Feminine Neckwear,

different Not an ascot has been seen. but
