In the Orient a wonderful paste IL
prepared from the pulp Of the apricot
and the ig. which marvelously softens
and sweetens the voice The fruit is
peeled and slowly cooked with an
equal quantity of sugar until reduced
to thick syrup, when it is poared into
fat pine boxes and allowed to dry in
the sun. A few pieces Of this paste
eaten two or three times day are
said to cure all the small troubles of
the throat and lungs cankers, colds,
etc.
Another, and this Is very ancient
remedy for the same complaint, is to
slice some raw carrots into deep plate
or dish and to thickly cover them with
fine granulated sugar Put the dish on
ice for three hours. when You will find
that all the juice of the carrots has
turned the sugar into delicate syrup,
q spoonful of which is to be taken at
time.
The woman does not exist who has
no wish, however small, to appear to
her best advantage in the eyes of the
world, knowing so we'll that "a good
appearance Is a fair letter OF recon-
mendation." All cannot possess regu-
lar features and unrivaled compilations.
but every girl may obtain q fresh,
clear skin without the use of deleterious
cosmetics by taking exercise. Regular
walks, sharp, and not too long 20 be
fatiguing, are the best producers OF
rosy cheeks known. When 1t is re-
membered that the pink tint so much
admired is caused by good circulation
of the blood, it stands to reason that
this circulation must be encouraged,

II would be good idea for our ladies'
gymnasium class right here in our own

holding it between the feet. to distrib-
ute the weight properly, and slowly
slide to terra flrma, being the entire
process, 1t isn't so easy, as the soci-
ETY. woman who organized the class
knows, for her hands are dreadfully
SCARED from an attempt that she made
some years ago to save her life in this
way during a hotel fire, In which many
were lost. The rope slipped too rapidly
through her fingers, burning them to
the bone, and she bears the marks to
this day.
In view OF the recent disasters and
loss of life by hotel fires, the WASH
ington class is one that might we'll be
initiated in other cities. 1t is predicted
that few of the scholars would be able
to make use OF their new accomplish
ment in the face of real danger, but
that is something that is yet to be
proven, for the desire for preservation
Is an incentive to daring deeds d
which few women would be capable
under ordinary Gil sumstanees.

well as the same size in the square,
which Is also used. AS they are woven
on specially large, looms, they cost
pretty penny, sometimes reaching into
the hundreds Of dollars, but these, Of
course, are only for the very wealthy.
Square table linens. either OF moder-
ate size or extremely large, are often
trimmed both with lace and embroid-
cry. Torchon lace and the renaissance
are in the best style, the former later
in mode than tho latter. There Is IN
sertion and an edge, both Of varying
width, according to the price Usually
the insertion lies on the table, forming
a border, while tie lace falls from the
edge. MARTHA.
