GIRL WITH THIN ARMS.
Can Easily Remedy the Defect by
Rubbing Them Vigorously a
Few Times Every Day.

Thin arms should be carefully con-
cealed. They have an impoverished
look that robs their owner of some of
her dignity. If the arms are unduly
long, as they occasionally are, the ef-
feet may be neutralized by wearing
wide bands of black velvet fastened
with pretty buttons or clasps or
buckles. This reduces the apparent
length of the arms.
Thin arms,'' says NJ. Charles Blanc,
the great French authority on dress,
denote bad health and an enfeebled
race" The best remedy is to wash. the
arms with a fine lather of soap at least
twice day, and to dry them thorough
ly and rub them vigorously. This
treatment brings the pores into action
and induces a healthy condition of the
skin.
Rubbing with soft chamois leather
is excellent for the skin, giving it both
smoothness and gloss. A girl who was
much troubled with an eruptive disor-
der on her arms was advised to procure
a very soft chamois leather, and gently
but persistently to rub the skin for a
few moments daily. She did so and
never suffered from the same disfigur-
ing cause again. The arms and shoul.
ders are greatly improved by being
rubbed in the same way, but the chamois
must be very soft-Ladies' Home Jour

RETURN OF EARRINGS.
A Fashion That Was ReleEated to
Oblivion Ten Years Ago to
BE Popular Again.

Earrings are coming in again, and
while fashions slaves are meekly pro-
testing that they will not wear the bar
barous things they will undoubtedly
quietly submit in the end. The edict
has gone forth that earrings are to be
worn again, and the jewelers. are pre-
pared for an immediate demand for
that article of jewelry which was rele-
gated to oblivion ten years ago.
One drawback, to the revival is the
fact that nine out of ten women will
need to have their ears pierced again,
and every woman has an acute remem-
= brance Of that painful ordeal in the
past. When our mothers were young
it was the custom to pierce the ears by
putting cork behind them, stretching
the lobes of the ear tight over the cork
and then piercing with needle, after
ward drawing a silken thread and a
gold ring made especially for the pur-
pose through the hole.
Pearl or diamond screw rings will
hold their own for a long time in wom-
ans favor, but there are some new and
startling fancies shown in the way OF
earrings in the jewelry stores.-N Y

straight arrangement leaves it too un-
stable for security.
The four positions shown in the draw
ing provide for clear space between
the lowest part of the hammock and
the floor of about 16 inches. 1t is a
common error to suppose that the head
of a hammock should be fastened at
the same height as the foot, or higher.
The best way is to keep the ring at the
foot end from three to five inches high
er than that at the head. When the
hammock is stretched out nearly y
straight the difference may be kept
down to three inches. Four makes a
fair medium. But with a good deal of
curvature, the fastening at the foot
ought to be five inches above the head
fastening. The reason for this is that
when the head end is elevated, the
whole body tends to slide down in the
hammock. What is called a position of
equilibrium-one in which the body
will remain where it isis one in which
the hips rest ct the lowest point. If
the head seems too low, under these cir
cumstances, it should be bolstered with

AND STILL I HEY COME
Here Are Three New and Very stylish
Designs for the Sum.ner

The girl who has tanned complex

new designs in parasols, ,rang ging any.
where in price from one dollar to one
hundred dollars leave no excuse why
the fair skin should be left unshaded
from the merciless rays of a scorching
sun.
The very newest idea in parasol dec
orations, and one which affords an
agreeable change from the floral trim
ming, is that of sewing applique de-
signs all over the silk covering. All
kinds of insects and small animals are
impressed into service, but the favorite
is the butterfly with deep cream and
pale yellow wings and dark brown bod
les. The rib-seams are then trimmed
with frills of soft silk or null.
Among the inexpensive designs is a
parasol of brown grass linen lined with
a pistachio green. The linen is en-

CORN MUFFIN RECIPE.
1t Is an Excellent One, and One That
II Not Found I'm Ordinary
Cook Books.

An excellent rule for corn mullins is
az follows: Beat two heaped table,
spoonfuls of butter and four of sugar to
cream. Add the yolks of three eggs,
and then add two cupfuls of milk in
which 'teaspoonful of soda has been
dissolved. Sift two or three times a
cupful and half of flour and liberal
cupful of corn meal, with two even ta-
blespoonfuls of cream of tartar. Add
the mixture of butter, sugar, milk and
eggs slowly to- tbs dry ingredients, STIR
ring we'll while doing so. After beat
ing this batter very thoroughly add the
whites of the three eggs-which have
been whipped to very stiff froth.
Turn the batter into muffin tins which
have been buttered and bake the muf-
fins in a hot oven. These mullins are
delightful for. breakfast served with
q dainty omelette and a cup of hot
coffee with whipped cream. The writer
has tried several rN}es for corn muf-
fins, but has found none as light or as
tender as these. 1t is not one of the
usual recipes found in the average cook
book, and it is an excellent one.
The following is very good rule for
johnnycake: Put three cupfuls of corn
meal to soak with three cupfuls of sour
milk over night. In the morning add
half cupful of flour, two tablespoon
fuls of mo]asses, one beaten egg. a tea
spoonful of salt, and finally liberal
teaspoonful of soda which has been dis
solved in about half a cupful of milk.
Stir the batter very thoroughly for sew
eral minutes and pour it into shallow
baking pans which have been buttered
well. Bake it in a very hot oven. It
should be about an inch and half thick
when done, and it should have fine
crust.--N. Y. Tribune
