To Beautify scrawny Necks.

Now that 1t has been discovered that
the linen collars worn by women for
several years are running the beauty
Of their necks. remedies for scrawny
and wrinkled necks are in demand.
II there be q general absence of flesh
on the body, careful dieting will do all
that Is required. AS many as five meals
a day may be indulged in, but they
must be taken at regular hours, allow
ing sufficient time for digestion in be-
tween.
Plenty Of milk, milk puddings, eggs,
bread, cakes, sweet fruits and all kinds
Of vegetables, meat we'll cooked and
fish should be partaken of till signs Of
improvement are visible. Then care
must be observed that one does not
err in the other direction and become
stout. When trying to put on flesh,
avoid everything acid, take plenty OF
warm baths, and sleep and rest as
much as possible.
But IL 1t be only the neck and shoul-
ders which are scraggy, and more flesh
Is not required or desirable on the rest
OF the body, a different method must
be pursued. Cod liver oil can be easily
taken in a little cold water, with
pinch of salt afterward to remove the
taste.
The neck and shoulders must be
bathed in warm water before retiring
for the night, and olive or sweet oil
we'll rubbed in. In the morning, after
bathing, rub gently and in a circular
direction for about ten minutes, follow
ed by ten minutes exercise with dumb
bells.

this case. the woman who had said
none but pleasant words, who, by a
bright story, had prevented the discus.

who was - brave-hearted as any that
ever lived, and who bore, not only her

other people, yet she saw no reason
why she should inflict her troubles on

A Cold Cream Jar.
OPERA GLASS BAG.

Our grandmothers excelled us in
dainty trifes. One OF the prettiest
ornaments ON the dresser was an egg.
At first sight 1t looked exactly like an
egg from the pantry. for the shell was
unpainted. Only as you looked at 1t
you saw that one end was broken.
This eggshell was used as a cold cream
jar. When making cold cream our
grandmothers would pour 1t into an
empty shell which had been carefully
prepared. After the egg was taken out
the shell had been washed and sweet
ened with perfumery with few drops
left in the bottom. The cold cream
was poured in and was left to harden.
The result was a very nice eggshell
full of lovely white cosmetic. Try this
for yourself
