WOMEN WITH SET NOTIONS.

Around Them Miserable.

They Make the Lives of Those
Around Them Miserable.
Some women never change they
never want to change either their ways
of thinking or of doing things. Ne
amount of reasoning or of demonstrate
ing modern methods will appeal to
them. In fact, half the time they don't
take the trouble to listen at all, secure
in the belief that old ways are the best
and that what their mothers and grand
mothers did is good enough for them.
Fortunately, this type of woman is
getting rarer now that the sex in gen.
eral is beginning to realize that con-
servatism is the chief stumbling block
to its advancement. Still, there are
enough of the standstill type left to
cause considerable annoyance to those
compelled to live with them.
If these women were to confine their
notions to their own selves, all might
be we'll; but, no ~ all beneath their
roof must conform or take the conse-
quences! There are set rules and ways
for everything. If Bridget in busting
the parlor moves the chairs before she
does the tables and ornaments, there
is an immediate outcry from the wom-
an with set notions, who is watching,
catlike, for just such an occurrence.
What if the room can be cleaned just
as well that way? 1t makes no differ
ence. Her former servants have al
ways done it her way, and she isn't go
ing to change now. 1t is the same with
everything. She prizes into the laundry,
the kitchen and even the cellar to see
if things are being done fright"

herself old and wrinkled before her
time. She is always so busy looking

"Oh, if mother were not SO set in her

There is nice little motto which the
woman with set notions ought to hang
up in her house in a conspicuous
place" -"There Never Was Such a Good
Way of Doing Thing but What
There Is Better" AS an afterthought

HOUSEWORkERS' HANDS.
How to Keep Them Free From tn
Marks of Labor,

Marks of Labor.
Housework is rather hard on the
hands, but there are some precautions
which, if taken, will add greatly to the
comfort of the worker and the appear
ance of the hands, says Maria Parloa
in Ladies' Home Journal. Among the
things which roughen and blacken the
hands the most important are dust,
soap, fruit, vegetables and neglect to
properly dry the hands. Wash all veg
etables before pairing. When the hands
are stained by fruit or vegetables, be
sure to remove the stains before the
hands come in contact with soap or
soapy water. Remove the stains with
an acid, such as lemon, vinegar or sour
milk; then wash in clear water. When
using soap and water for any purpose,
be sure to rinse off all the soap before
wiping the hands. Always wipe the
hands perfectly dry. Do not change
Eoaps if you can avoid it, and always
use good soap. When sweeping and
busting, wear loose fitting gloves. Have
pair of rubber gloves for use when it
is necessary to have the hands in wa
ter great deal. Grease spoils rubber,
therefore the gloves must be washed
perfectly clean as soon as the work is
finished. A little bran and milk or
vinegar will make the hands clean and
smooth after dishwashing or any other
work that roughens them. With lit
tie practice one can wash dishes as
well and quickly with dish mop as
with a cloth and the hands. There
should be two mops, one for the table
ware and one for the cooking dishes
For washing floors have a self wiring
ing mop. To soften the hands use some
sort of cream on them at night and put
them in loose gloves kept for this pur-
