A lecturer on hygiene had been included
In the programme for the day, n she
had taken care to show the effects OF
alcohol and tobacco upon the system. She
impressed her teachings by means of ans
atomieal charts, which gave especial luz
cidity to her remarks, when she came to
warning the little girls, years in advance
of any practical need, of the dangers or
tight laeing.
One of the little girls whose home sur
roundings are of the sort in which ease
rather than elegance of expression is
sought. listened with profound respect.
Now, Margaret the teacher said, you
may see how well you remember what ]
nave said about tight lacing, and tell us
why it is injurious"
There was no response.
81 mean you. Maggie" the teacher add
ed, and the girl jumped to her feet as
she recognized the more familiar name.
Tight lacing, ma'am, is injurious,
ma'am-''
She hesitated, and the teacher smiled
encouragingly, and said, G. on"
"'Cos. ma'am, it's liable to twist your
Stats"
So
When the fashion first began of wear
ing the little brooch at the back of the
hair, it seemed absurdly ornamental.
1t was the one brilliant touch of jewel
ry the tailor-made girl allowed herself,
for in a tailor suit there is no place for
jeweled ornament.
One may fasten a scarf pin in an Ascot
tie, but the usual run of girls wear a
broad butterfly bow.
Those who did not wear this brooch at
the pack of the head laughed at those
who did until they tried it; but a trial
soon persuaded them of the advisability
and delight of the seeming useless orna-
ment.
There is nothing else holds up the
short hairs at the back of the head 50
well as this little clasp.
You have those little stray, tumbling
locks; every woman must have them;
they are the bane and despair of ten out
of every dozen women who wish to look
trig and well-groomed.
A hairpin is useless to alter this trouble.
1t might ave served in former days
when the hair was pulled up straight
from the nape of the neck to the knot
on the top of the head; neither brooch
hui ail Qlll was CNS N1ACi LIN AA
was coiffured in a low knot, but in the
present style one must have some way
in which to keep the back of the head
looking neat.
There is a single kind of brooch which
one may wear. It is open, just a little
skeleton circle, and may be set with
stones, either semi-precious or precious.
1N,,ronaap mapufaoturar have hean for
months past experimenting in reproduce
ing the most attractive silk weaves in
mercerized cotton. Among the latest now
elites from Europe are these cotton bro
cades in self colors, and the silk effect
is reproduced in the most wonderful man
ner. Even the Persian patterns now in
such high favor are being reproduced, and
/ the price for these is so absurdly small
that one is amazed on learning the effect
that can be purchased for IS cents a yard.
So
Tt should be remembered that eggs
should be beaten in different ways for
different uses. For meringues, sponge
cake, angel food or any use in which
the cells are to be coarse, a wire egg
beater that beats the air in is the proper
one to use. For other cake and COM
pounds requiring fine grain the wheel egg
beater is better. Similarly, to whip cream
for charlotte russo or Syllabus the for
mer is preferable, while that which is
served with chocolate or coffee or used
as a sauce for jellies may be more solid
and is produced best by the wheel beat
ers.
Where cream alone is used in making
! ice cream one-half or one-third of the
quantity used should be scalded, the sugar
dissolved in the scalding portion, and
when cool added to the remaining guam
| tity of cream. says the Ladies Home
Journal Where cream IS not obtain
able, milk may be used enriched by the
yolks of eggs. allowing four to each quart
of milk. Scald the milk in a double boil

then strain into the ice cream mould and
freeze.
Latest of all bathing fads is the hay
bath. Some one or other in the Tyrol de-
vised it when he wasn't thinking of any
thing else. 1t is a simple process, con-
sisting merely of being immersed in fresh
uncured mountain hay. The, hay must be
in "burning" condition-that is, not cured.
The bath is taken under roof. and not In
the open air. The peasants of the Tyrol,
the Etschlanders especially, attach great
value to the hay bath. and they consider
the short hay of the mountains to be par
ticularly beneficial.
A feature, and rather a marked one in
our t~horoughfares now, are the large,
smart collar-capes of embroidered white
muslin and lace, which transform a
dowdy dress at once. A gov that in it's
pristine condition would be dull and coun-
trifed in appearance, at once assumes an
element of smartness when this big col
lar covers the shoulders, and descends to
the waist or bust in tapering points.
With June's roses come weddings
galore. BY the foolish superstition against
May bridals, their number is increased.
Few but take place in church. A novelty
consists in yelling the brides bouquet
with tulle. Another is to select for maid
of honor the small sister, cousin or niece
of the bride or groom, and costume her in
the same material as the brides dress.
With a picture hat and tiny bouquet, the
little creature is charmingly attractive.
Notwithstanding all efforts against it.
