My heart went at once to Bo-Peep;
And half an hour after our --rnuvers''
Discovered us, arms clasped, asleep!
Then age came, and with it new faces:
As grown-upS, drifted apart:
found in new sweathearts new graces;
She gave to another her heart
The Bo-Peep of childhood is welded,
Her children may now read this rhyme;
But firm on mind is embedded

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 I allow my
seIf-a ce1luIoid nail cleaner, carefully
selected as regards it's cleansing capa-
bi1ities, one pair of bowed scissors for
cutting the nails, a box of emery
boards, a box of rosaline and a 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 a theory that this whitens
them, it certainly hardens them to ex-
posture. If addicted to chapped hands,
battle them at night in 1ukewarm
water, then rub them in a mixture of
rose water and glycerine- Avoid the
ordinary concoctions 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. 1t

Soak the tips of your fingers in hot
water till the nail is pliable-this pre-

sOrs cut carefully in the shape of an
almond-do not point them; then, with
the fine sides of the emery board, Tile
off any rough edges With a cellu1oid

coloration, and then spread thoroughly
over each nail and well down into the

polish. If there are hangna1IS, 1t is

time was worn out twice To rejuve-
nate an old buffer, select a piece of
chamois, taking care to avoid the thin

simple Care1essness-
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 care1essly, and
/ then wonder why her skin is not
lovely. I have known women's skins
| to be positively grimy and they were
| unconscious of the fact. I 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 goodness They
simply did not know how to take care
of themselves If a woman wants to
keep her face in good condition, she
| wants to wash it once day with hot
| water. Not SO hot that it stiRgs, for
| that scratches the skin The soap may
be 10 cents cake, but she wants to
know that it is pure Nothing with
turpentine or resin Soaps with oil
are the best When she finishes with
| this she must rinse the face with clean
| warm water, not mere dash, but
good, wholesome soaking Then rinse

bit of the face tingles and the blood
is brought to the cheeks Once a week
