Simpla CareIessness.

The average woman will pay great
attention to the curves in her figure
and the style of the neckbands she
must wear, and the way to arrange her
hair, and the fit of her gloves; but she
will dose her face with cold water and
bad soap, use powder carelessly, and
then wonder why her skin Is not
lovely. l have known women's skins
to be positively grimy and they were
unconscious of the fact. have known
their noses to be filled with black
specks which were nothing but dirt.
and yet these women believed that
cleanliness is next to godliness. They
simply did not know how to take care
Of themselves. If woman wants to
keep her face in good condition, she
wants to wash 1t once a day with hot
water. Not so hot that 1t stings, for
that scratches the skin. The soap may
be 10 cents cake, but she wants to
know that 1t is pure. Nothing with
or resin. Soaps with oil
are the best. When she finishes with
this she must rinse the face with clean
warm water, not a mere dash, but a
good, wholesome soaking. Then rinse
with entirely cold water until every
bit of the face tingles and the blood
Is brought to the cheeks. Once week
she should steam her face.

KEEPING CHARLEY'S SEAT.
He Would Sot Come Forward to Claim

He Would Eot Come Forward to Claim
1t.
Many amusing scenes are enacted
before the footlights at bargain matt
nees, especially in the theaters where
no reserved-seat coupons are issued on
such occasions, and the rule of first
come, first served" obtains, says the
Philadelphia Record. At recent mat
inee of this kind in popular theater
much merriment was excited by the
efforts of a stout, good-natured look
ing woman to secure seat for young
man, evidently a relative, who had
come into the theater after the house
had pretty we'll filled up. She had
succeeded in securing seat herself
and holding another one by the me-
dunn of sundry wraps and parcels.
alongside, pretty well down toward the
stage. In front of these she stood
sentinel, anxiously scanning every
new group that came in. Finally she
saw the young man and began wildly
to wave her handkerchief at him, but
apparently he was looking everywhere
save in the right direction. Meanwhile
several seat-hunters had espied the I'M
occupied chair and were casting en-
vious and suspicious glances at it.
The situation was becoming critical;
so, without more ado, the stout party
put her hand to her mouth and shout
ed in stentorian tones across the en-
tire auditorium: Charlie. Here's
your seat!" Every one laughed; but
Charlie, evidently not counting unwel-
come notoriety, discreetly kept in the
background. "Charliel" she yelled
again, in louder tones, and then the
denizens of the gallery, quick to seize
an opportunity, began a chorus Of
Charlie! l say. Charliel" "Charliel"
where are your" and "Ho! Charlie!"
which strengthened the youth in his
wise resolution to stay just where he
was. Then the sentinel surrendered
the seat to a determined-looking wom-
an who wore spectacles.

Why starehed Clothe. Arc UnhealthfuI

Hygienists have been making
starched clothing the subject of their
investigations and have established the
fact that starched garments act as a
barrier to the escape of heat from the
body. One, therefore. would suppose
that these starched garments, which,
as everybody knows, heat us so I'M
comfortably in summer, would at least
have the advantage Of keeping the
body warm in winter, on account of
being a non-conductor Of heat. This,
however, is not the case, for the value
Of starched pieces as non-conductors
increases with the increase of outer
temperature, and correspondingly de-
creases with the drop of the thermom-
eter. This means, therefore, that in
winter, when we try our utmost to
keep the body warm and prevent as
much as possible Of the escape Of ami
NAL heat, the starchy raiment is re-
duced to a minimum as a protector on
account of the outer cold, and in sum-
mer, when we wish to keep cool, these
same garments are effectual in hold
ing back the heat OF the body. It is
also to be noticed that when perspira-
ton runs the starch, It not only clogs
up the pores OF the linen. but also

from her guests that the dinner which
she is serving is other than an W.
usual one. 1t is formal affair, AID
no amount of grace can make any
thing else of it. For nothing speaks
so loudly nor so unerringly as
formal company DINER. Every Course
shows it; every movement of the wait
ress proclaims it; every piece of china
fairly cries out the occasion. And OF
course no one at the table eally en-
joys it. The guest certainly does not,
because he knows he Is being made
company of, and that feeling Is always
enough to Offset every enjoyment. The
hostess does not, for she hasn't the
time Her eyes are for the table and
her servants; not for her guest"

said Rob-
81 fancy, II the relative value Of
money was considered, your Uncle
David would be found almost as rich
as Solomon" said Mrs. Cleverdale,
laughing at Rob's amazement. But
we must get on with our story. You
know that | have looked for a letter
from Buenos Ayres every three
months. Well, that letter contains a
remittance from Uncle David OF five
hundred dollars. That is what we are
living on-what we have lived on since
Year poor father died"
ooh! But I'll pay him all back some
day, mother. Don't fear. I'll pay him
all back"
Mrs. Cleverdale Rugged Rob, and he
did not see the tears that rolled down
her cheeks.
Eyes, dear, you will pay him. And
the time for that has come. / must
read you a letter received from him a
short time ago. 1t is in reply to one |
wrote him."
There was such evident emotion in
his mothers manner that Rob looked
at Ter in establishment. He could see
nothing to agitate her in the converse
ton they had. Mrs. Cleverdale left her
chair and took from drawer in her
desk letter bearing the same stamp
as the package containing the pictures.
She opened this, but did not at once
begin to read. 1t was by this time ap-
parent to Rob that his mother was
feeling very sad. And If there was any
one feature in Rob's nature that was
stronger than another, it was his love
for his mother. He put his arms
around her and said:
Don't read it, mother, If it makes
you cry. Put the old thing away"

Go there! What! Me go to South

There was so much eager delight In
Rob's words that Mrs. Cleverdale
wiped an unbidden tear from her eye.
"Yes, Rob-" she said. Il have not
mentioned this before, because the sub
.ject was very painful to me. But 1t Is
time now for you to know something
of the future that has been arranged
for you. AS you know, we are not rich.
Your father was not one of the money
making kind. He was a good man, and
a scholarly one. But he preferred to
work for a stated salary rather than to
strike out in risky enterprises for him
self. So, when he died, he left us with
nothing. My brother, David Horton,
was just the opposite in nature. He
went to Buenos Ayres when he was
young, and started his career raising
cattle and horses. He made money and
married lady of Buenos Ayres who
was quite wealthy. Then he branched
out and took up other lines of business,
and now he is the controller of many
of the industries in the Argentine Con-
federation. He is a banker in Buenos
Ayres, and is the friend OF the presi-
dent. In fact, he is known to be the
mainstay of the government in finan-
cial matters. Then he has silver mines
on La Plata River. and gold mines on
distant islands. He owns vast cattle
ranges on the pampas. and ships that
go to every country In the world. He
is a merchant. yes, a merchant prince.
His ships bring him treasure from all
over"
why, he's just like solomon was.

Care of the Hands.


A woman who has beautiful hands
writes: For my own use my stock
IN trade consists of two buffers-an
unnecessary extravaganza l allow my
self-a celluloid nail cleaner, carefully
selected as regards it's cleansing capa-
bilities, one pair Of bowed scissors for
cutting the nails, box OF emery
boards, a box of rosaline ind box OF
nail enamel. That is sufficient for the
best results, and is certainly simple.
Never dry your hands after washing
them in hot water without first cooling
them off under the cold-water faucet.
There is theory that this whitens
them; it certainly hardens them to ex-
posture. If addicted to chapped hands,
battle them at night in lukewarm
water, then rub them in a mixture OF
rose water and glycerine. Avoid the
ordinary connections for beautifying
the hands. Do not oil your hands and
then put on gloves for the night; this
only increases the tendency to chap.
Never use a steel file on the nails. IL
thickens them and makes them coarse.
Soak the tips of your fingers in hot
water till the nail is pliable-this pre-
vents breaking. With the bowed scis-
sors cut carefully in the shape of an
almond-do not point them; then, with
the fine sides of the emery board, file
off any rough edges. With celluloid
or ivory nail-cleaner remove any dis
coloration, and then spread thoroughly
over each nail and well down into the
quick thick layer Of the rosaline.
Dip the nail in the powder and polish.
Never cut the cuticle, but carefully
loosen it from the quick with the nall
cleaner. This should be done every
morning after the bath. With warm
water and brush remove the RED
paste entirely and then give final
polish. If there are hangnails, 1t Is
better to tear them off, not roughly,
and though the finger may be sore for
a day or two, it is preferable to CUT
ting, which only increases the growth.
I always prepare a new buffer for pol
ishing by spreading a thin coat OF
rosaline on its surface, then a layer
of powder, and rubbing both we'll in.
MY pet buffer has been my constant
companion for ten years, and in that
time was worn out twice. To rejuve-
nate an old buffer, select piece of
chamois, taking care to avoid the thin
spots, soak in water and stretch over
the frame, pulling tightly, then bind
in the grove with cord and tie firmly.
Clip away the superfluous part, and
you have a buffer as good as new. No
one should neglect her hands-it mat
tiers not how homely or ill-shapen
they may be. Carefully tended hands
are the hallmark Of the well-groomed
woman" Montreal Herald.

My Dear Sister.-I have read your
letter-the last one, in which you ask
about Rob-at least six times. And at
every reading reach a new conclu-
sion. Now, however, after the last
reading, I think l have solved the
problem of his future, and l have no
doubt you will agree with me in that I
have solved it well. To return to your
letter, you have, as I understand, made
some arrangement to give up your
lonely housekeeping and make your
home with Mrs. Seymour, your old
school friend, and more than sister,
who lives in Brooklyn. You feel that

so. fear that he may have inherited

ment OF his father, together with his
lack of worldly push. II this were SO,

any better one than am about to lay
down to you. And do not mind tell

ness In my plan, so you need not feel
that I am doing anything by way of
charity. This arrangement will I'M
doubtedly be as advantageous to me as

Writing on Making Company of

curious fact that American housewives
are so loath to believe that a dinner
with fuss and feathers is dreaded by
the vast majority of people. The
highest compliment we can possibly
show a guest at dinner is to let him

him come quietly in and be one OF
