What One Woman Thinks.

Post-mortem kindness doesn't count.
Motber-love is the highest type of
affection.
As a rule those who talk the most say
the least.
Scarlet CATERS are the latest thing
for the golfing girl
The ones we love the best are fire.
ouently the ones we treat the worst
According to a man, the only secret
a woman can keep is that of her age.
The people who pride themselves on
being determined are sometimes only
contrary.
1t is poor sort of consolation for people
in trouble to say things might have
been worse
Some women will feel very lonely in
heaven if there is not cook stove or a
scrubbing brush there
Some women try very hard to win
mans love and then seem to forget they
must try just as hard to keep it.
Care of the Finger Nails.
The fngernail as it should be is about
one and a half times as long as it is
broad, and always shows crescent at
the base. Highly polished or pointed
nails are not indicative of good taste
They should have a natural gloss and De
neatly rounded at the top.
If the nails are rounded off with the
file every day they viii not need to be
cut with the scissors, which is injurious
In order to keep the crescent at the base
well formed the skin should be pushed
PACK from the man With the towel o. II
necessary with blunt orange stick eV-
cry time the hands are washed. The or
ange stick is excellent also for cleaning
the finger nails after they have been
soaked a few minutes in warm water
containing a little lemon juice.
If the nails show tendency to brittle
ness little soaking in warm olive oil
after removing them from the lemon
water and an publications. of cold cream
at night will prove beneficial.
In polishing the nails with the cha
mOis pOlisher neither paste nor powder
should be used. Powder makes the nails
high color.
After using the file to round the ffng
ernails in shape, it is well to use an en-
cry strip to remove any roughness that
remains.
Persons upon whom nature has not
bestowed taper-shaped fingers some
times try to attain them by the use Of
various devices. Metal cones reaching
to the second joint. to be worn at night
are supposed to secure this result bur
unless one begins at an early age. when
the fingers are soft and amenable to ex-
ternal appliances. it is doubtful If they
would produce the desired effect.
Dainty Idea.
Little sachet-bags of thin silk may be
hung unobtrusively upon the backs Of
chairs to supply a faint, elusive scent to
a room. if that is liked. These should be
filled with dried leaves of sweet geran-
ed. or of the lemon verbena alone if that
delightful odor is preferred. These make
sweet sachetS for the handkerchief box
or the linen closet and the bureau
drawer
A Useful knowledge.
Every girl who is planning to be q
hCusekeeper some time, and is busy
learning how to be, wants among other
things to learn how to prepare and pack
q dainty luncheon. 1t is an important
part of her training. She may want to
pack picnic luncheon luncheon for
traveller, or for some one whose daily
duties take him away from home and
where there is no opportunity to obtain
a luncheon, so that he is dependent up
on the luncheon basket, says the ''Wo-
mans Home Companion" There are all
these to be provided for occasionally. be
sides the school child. And she wants
to know how to cater to this clientele.
You instinctively know the one who pre-
pared the luncheon by the way the
ba slxet is arranged and what it con
tainS.
