An informal reception was rendered

of the order who have recently located

welcome to Edmund Bartl, one of their

were present, and the evening was
most enjoyably spent.

council was terminated, the doors were
thrown open to the invited guests, and

AN UNPLEASANT DOSE.

Taking castor oil is one Of the afTlic-
tons Of youth, while cod-liver oil spoils
the happiness of many an adult. OF
course they are dreadful things to take,
but the horror of it may be lessened
by one or two simple devices Castor
oil, for instance is ameliorated in UNI
pleasantness if mixed with an equal
quantity of glycerine or if mixed with
a little hot, sweetened milk In the
latter case, the oil floats in the middle
and goes down tastelessly. Capsules
of castor oil or cod-Hver oil, sheathed
in thin gelatine, can be bought, which
obviate the nauseating effect of the
mental effort to swallow any of these
decoctions.
AS for cod-liver oil. it can be placed
in Jamaica ginger or peppermint water
or plain water favored with lemon
juice or in hot sailed beef tea, in which,
if it is well mixed it can be swallowed
easily without unpleasantness.
When you have nasty doses to take,
don't smell Of them beforehand. To
hold your breath while swallowing is
a good rule; to hold your nose is an
other. Put the spoon or glass as far
back as possible over the tongue and
don't breathe till its contents are down,
then rinse the mouth with water ANY
oily medicine slips more easily out of
q spoon that has been warmed

A NEW MISSIONARY FIELD.

1t has been proved that classes for
servants in actual service are not much
patronized by the persons for whom
they are originally designed. Waitress
courses in various domestic science
institutions count ten mistresses to
one maid, and that proportion is met
with in other classes of the same grade.
An uptown woman, whose cook is very
satisfactory in many particulars, but
who failed in some departments of
cooking-notably salads and desserts
tried to send her to neighboring cook
ing school to perfect herself in the
branches of her trade in which she
was deficient. The time was to be
given to her. and her tuition paid; but
the cook did not like to go, and could
not be persuaded to. In this dilemma
1t occurred to the mistress to get up a
class in her own kitchen, asking as
pupils the cooks OF friends. A class
Of twenty was quickly secured, the de-
monstrations taking place in the large
and well-equipped kitchen of the pro-
moter OF the enterprise. The expense
of the teacher and materials was shared
among the mistresses, and the end de-
sired-that of improving the ability of
each cook-was gained. The teacher
was clever enough to suit her demon
STATIONS TO her audience, and not to
ask that too voluminous notes should
be taken. There seems a genuine
field here that has not yet been devel-
oped, and it is, perhaps, by thus carry
ing the missionary work right into the
household, that the conditions in our
kitchens may be improVed.-Boston

HIS FEET ACHED.

There is a foreign gentleman in town
who is receiving slices of cold shoulder
in a quarter where he once dined or the
fat of the land. 1t is all because of
the simple, naive frankness of his man
ner. He was invited to a card party
moon or two ago, and he went. He
arrived early, and he was unmistak-
ably distraught. The hostess affected
not to observe it, but the foreign gem
tleman himself spoke of it. His feet
ached, he said and-well, he asked that
a basin of hot water be set for him in
another apartment and for half an
hour he remained in retirement. At
the end of that time he reappeared,
thanked his hostess for her kindness,
and said his feet felt much better. The
hostess says she realizes that it was
the sensible thing for him to do, but
much as she admires common sense, the
next time she gives party, the name
Of one foreign gentleman will not be
in her list of guests.-Washingto Post

THE HAIR.
Vaseline AS Cure For
Badness.
BRUSH AND COMB.
Keep the Scalp Clean What
ever You Do.
(The Gentlewoman.)

Loss of hair is generally attributable
to improper diet, nervousness and kim
dred disturbances of the system.
The hair, being a part of the cuticie
or outer enveloping surface of the body,
very accurately indicates the general
condition of the system. Harsh, scanty
hair, crisp, brittle finger nails and
rough, diseased skin, all point to inter
nal disorders, and are not affected by
external applica tons except as they are
supplemented by the task of getting
the system up to par.
Brushing the hair maSsaging the
roots, shampooing and other external
treatments should be regulated by the
condition of the hair. Some hair will
not endure brushing: for other hair it
is the best of tones. Frequent wash
ing is good for oily hair; dry hair
should not be so frequently washed
Some but not all, dermatologists rec
ommend rubbing clear, cold water into
the roots of the hair.
Cold water by many authorities is
considered the best tonic for the entire
cuticle. 1t almost always will fatten
and develop the thinnest skin and cause
a healthy circulation in the thick, slug
gish skin which resists all other treat
ments! An eminent beauty doctor"
says that the cold bath might be fifty
called the bath of beauty so essential
is it in preserving a clear skin. Any
person whose health will permit her to
take a cold plunge every morning will
surely have firmer flesh and clearer
skin than can be had by any other
method. Plain food. exercise and clean
liness are essential to beauty as they
are to health.
Badness seldom occurs among peo-
pie who have thick hair and skins. 1t
is the distinguishing characteristic of
thin. scanty hair and thin skin So
long as the hair cells are alive the hair
that is in poor condition may be bene-
fitted greatly by proper treatment.
When the hair cells are once dead there
is no way of making hair grow again.

washing! One can hardlyWear one seven
days without rebelling against fate.
And whole summer! In the second
place, there is a good deal in being
dressed suitably. A woman gowned in
indestructible navy blue flannel that
would be the right thing for d winter
in the White Mountains, tanning her
self and slipping iced drinks on a YER
anda, with the thermometer at 81, is a
blot on the landscape. She is a para
doX, and an ungraceful one at that.
Half of her looks January, the other
half August. She is out of character.
She does not look her part. She ought
to look cool, even if she can't feel cool
And this brings us to thirdly, and
that is, the duty of not making others
feel hotter than they need to feel by
our heat producing clothes. These scar
let waists and hats that some misguid-
ed creatures don during the red-hot
days of July and August are a crime
A woman in a white duck skirt and
pale blue shirt waist for instance, looks
cool; by the same token, she is an
agreeable object to look at on a muir
derous hot day; ergo, it is her Chris
tian duty to wear white skirts and
blue waists, or their thermometrcal
equivalent
And so it happens, by the beautiful
logic that often manifests itself in
trade, that the shops are this winter
displaying the largest and most aston
ishingly varied and lovely assortment
of wash goods. There are all prices
and styles, of course, but there is moth
ing more fascinating than the percales
and ginghams.
You can buy charming things at less
than 1212 cents, the price of
most of the percales, but percales

always faVorites. This year they come

they can scarcely be distinguished
from summer silk The line of blues
is especially handsome. A clear ultra
marine blue forms the background
over which lacy white patterns are
thrown. One, in broad and narrow
stripes alternating on a blue ground is
like so many strips of tatting alternating
with ribbons. In another, maiden hair
fern is skilfully conventionalized into
stripes of varying density The great
est diversity of pattern, all refined and
more or less distinguished, may be
seen on the counters of Worcester
stores.
Crimson percales are shown in
abundance and great variety of pat

for morning wear in the house, or for
