Hot Milk For the Skin.

Hot milk for the complexion has
proved to be of the greatest benefit,
and many women say they owe an i'm
provement to their complexion to the
constant use of hot milk applied every
morning and night to their faces.
A woman prominent in the literary
world and whose complexion is equal
to young girls declared that of all
the many precautions she had taken
to keep her skin in good condition none
was so efficacious as hot milk. "When
l am frightfully fatigued," she said,
"from the rush of the life lead, get
gallon of milk for thirty cents and
put it in my bathtub, adding sufficient
hot water to cover the body.
81 lie in this mixture for ten minutes
and come out feeling thoroughly re-
freshed and with new life to the skin,
which, previous to the bath, had a dead
look"

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE


Window seats and boxes for the
nursery or any room where the chill
dren stay and play are useful in many
ways. If there is even n slight jog to
the window, they are easily fitted in,
and boarded up, the top fitted on
hinge so that it may be raised, an ex-
cellent receptacle for playroom litter
is provided If liked, the space be-
meath one seat may have two shelves
for the children's books and magazines,
In which case little curtains stretched
on wire or slender rod should fall
from both seats. These should match
the removable cushions of the seats
and should be of denim, chintz or other
stout and washable material Have
the windows thoroughly protected with
window strips, for the children will sit
in these seats for hours at a time, in
terested in outdoor sights. Nothing
more quickly induces serious colds
than lounging in drafty window. On
the other hand, if the window is prop
erly stripped the seat boxes will prove
added protection from drafts that are
sure to come in around windows in our
poorly built houses.

Praise In the Home.

There is nothing better for girl
sometimes than a little hearty praise.
Many good people conscientiously act
on the direct opposite and seem to
think nothing better than little
hearty blame. They are mistaken,
conscientious in their blame as they
may be. There are sore burdens enough
in life, bitterness and pain enough,
hard work enough and little enough
for it-enough to depress us all and
keep us humble, a keen enough sense
of failure succeed as one may, and a
word of hearty commendation now and
then will tighten the load and brighten
the heart and send woman on with
new hope and energy, and If she have
any reasonable amount of brains at all
it will do her no harm. Children are
sometimes heart starved for a little
hearty praise. Boys will act up to
the estimate put upon them, or at least
try to, If they are worth their salt.

Rose Cure For Nervousness.

Roses as a cure for many Of the lit
tie aches and pains of life, says the
Chicago American, are advocated by
those who believe our mental condition
has much to do with our physical pains.
1t has been discovered that rose will
cure the headache. Its perfume soothes
the nerves, and the brain Is rested by
its color. Recline on pillow of roses
if you can. If you cannot do this, lie
and look at few Of the flowers. Tie
up your head with rose perfume if you
have it and, like the famous London
beauty, pull the flowers to pieces, sniff
deeply the rose, let your eyes look long
at the peculiar tint in its depths and
cure yourself. If you will give half an
hour to this cure, you will find yourself
much refreshed in every way.

Knexv Him rs n sharper.

Lord Brampton, when he was Mr..
Justice Hawkins, when on circuit, find
ing long summer evening drag on his
hands, took a turn In the lanes, and,
staying at rural inn for cup of tea,
his ears were assailed by the charmed
sound of the falling ninepins.
With a lively eagerness he inquired
of the landlord If there was an alley
on the premises. BY way Of answer
the landlord conducted him thither.
The goodly company assembled eyed
the newcomer with greedy eyes, think
ing they would lead him ON to an ad-
vantageous game.
The learned judge at once acceded to
their invitation, in the course of very
short time relieving every gentleman
In the place of his spare shillings.
Then the landlord thought it time to
intervene and, touching his ,ordship on
the back, said:
Look here, my fine friend, we have
had your sort here before, and If you
don't want to shake hands with the po-
lice you'd better get out of this!'

The manager of Chicago carpet
department whose knowledge brings
him an annual income of $4,000 ad-
vised the following treatment for valu-
able rugs: Lay them wrong side up on
the grass, beat with furniture beater,
reverse and sweep carefully, a soft
brush being the preference, or good
carpet sweeper. \ little airing outside
of the suns rays is good occasionally,
when they may be carried in the
house. The average American house
wife wears out her rugs by continued
sweeping and beating. The plan of
putting them upon "a line every two
or three weeks or even once a month
and then having them whipped is not
to be commended if the rugs are Of
any value. When a rug is to be thor
oughly cleaned, it should be sent where
the work is properly done or else
washed at home.

simple dinner can hardly be overdone.
A dinner is the acme of entertaining,
and beautiful things are appropriate to
it.
The leaves of this design form q
framework for the blossoms, and both
are so managed that, while conven-
tionalized as to arrangement, they do
not in the least violate the manner of
the natural growth of the plant. They
are embroidered in deep yet soft shades
of green. The orchids should be worked
in puppies and gold, always rich COM
bination. The method of the stitchery
is featherstitch, and this work should
be slanted toward the stem base of the
flowers and kept almost parallel in the
leaves Since to embroider flower as
complicated in form as this requires
some skill, an amateur should avail
herself of all possible helps. None Is
more desirable than color studies.
If these were obtained and followed
more often by the embroiderer, as they
are by the decorative painter, we
would have better needlework. There
these flowers are favorites In decora-
tive art. With one before the en-
broidery frame the worker can shade
correctly as well as follow the lines
which indicate texture, as a guide to
the proper stitch direction.
Before setting the work on the frame
a fine buttonhole edge should be en-
broidered all round the outer outline
of the design. The embroidery can
afterward be carried down close over
this. 1t is not supposed to show much,
merely to fortify the edge so it can be
cut out when the work is complete.
The work should be done on round
weave linen of good quality. 1t is no
economy to put needlework on inferior
materials. - Lillian Barton Wilson in
Golfers.

The parlor, otherwise the company
or show room," ought to be the one
room in the house that should portray
in its every detail the ideal personality
of the woman who owns it. 1t should
contain but few beautiful objects on
which the eyes might rest without dis
traction, some good pictures on the
walls, suggestion Of music by the
presence of an unobtrusive instrument,
and, above all and everything, a sense
Of comfort and unity should be appar-
ent in all its furnishings and decora-
tions. The japanese custom of show
ing only one good picture or kakemono
or screen at time and placing the
towering branch of tree where it will
be seen to greatest advantage in their
guestroom is unquestionably an excel
lent idea, one well worth initiating. In
our efforts to have everything pretty
and snowy around us we reduce our
parlors to miniature curio stores and
palmhouses and in crowding our treas
ures fail to obtain the effect of artistic
beauty in their arrangement.

Indian corn is coming to be more and
more in use in this country and In for
eign countries. 1t is being used in va
rious forms and is much more palata-
bic than rice or potatoes. One of the
best forms is hominy, but not every
cook knows how to have it at its best.
1t should be boiled long time-eight
or ten hours at least-and it should be
put to soak over night before boiling.
1t requires care and close attention to
keep it boiling and not to burn. 1t
need not boil fast. Water is as hot
when it boils slowly as when it boils
fast (212 degrees F.. With butter or
ham fryings it is delicious and a first
rate hygienic.

LAUNDRY LINES.

Black calico will look like new If
rinsed in very strong bluing water.
Laces or delicate materials which are
soaked in borax water do not require
rubbing.
All embroideries and colored garments
should be ironed ON the wrong side
whenever practicable.
To fold table linen when ironing place
the sevaged edges together and fold
first in half and then over again once.
When washing flannels, shake and
brush them thoroughly before plunging
into the water, as this removes the dirt
in a more satisfactory manner and
keeps the flannels white.
Soda and ammonia have a tendency
to make silk and woolen goods yellow
If used in the washing, while borax
tends rather to brighten. If clothes are
not thoroughly rinsed, the color will al
ways be bad.
A housewife with penchant for the
fragrance of orris root is said to place
n piece of the root in the bottom of the
boiler on wash day. The delicate odor
clings to the clothes even when they
are dried, ironed and worn.

Avoid Small Worries,

Perhaps the secret of the sweet ex-
preston and habitual serenity of the
japanese women can be found in their
freedom from small worries. The
fashion of dress never varying saves
the wear of mind on that subject, and
the baroness of the houses and sim
plicity of diet make housekeeping a
mere bagatelle. Everything is eXqui-
sitely clean and easily kept so. There
is no paint, no drapery, no crowd of
little ornaments, no coming into the
houses with the footwear worn in
dusty street. And then the feeling of
living in rooms that can be turned into
balconies and verandas at moments
notice. of having walls that slide away
as freely as do the scenes on the stage,
and let in all out of doors or change
the suits of rooms to the shape and
size that the whim of the day or the
hour requires! !-Pearson's Weekly.

Ham Baked In Cider.

Try for the Thanksgiving feast ham
baked in cider. This can be done the
day before and warmed through when
needed. Choose a good lean ham of
about eight pounds. Wash thoroughly
and over the heshy side sprinkle
chopped onions, a little Glove and all
spice, teaspoonful of cinnamon and
a half teaspoonful of ground ginger.
Make flour and water into paste as
thick as dough and cover over the
ham. Put skin side down in the roast
ing pan with two quarts. Cook
slowly for three hours, basting every
ten minutes. When done, take off the
paste and rind and set away. An
hour before serving return to the bak-
ing pan, flesh side down, brush the fat
portion with beaten egg and sprinkle
thoroughly with chopped parsley and
breadcrumbs mixed and let the ham
heat through in the oven. Boil the
cider in which the ham was first roast
ed down to a creamy sauce. Remove
every bit of fat from the surface, re-
heat and send round in sauceboat
with the ham.

The average man-and we are not

the bewildering woman chooses to play

DRESS HINTS.

Thin stockings should be darned with
fine worsted.
Cover an old hat pad with Grape and
Use it for brushing velvet and vel
veteen.
Water In which potatoes have been
Doiled is the best thing with which to
sponge and revive silk dress.
When buttonholing flannel edges,
first run a linen thread about one
eighth of an inch from the edge. 1t
will hold the buttonhole stitch and
wear much better.
Corsets may be cleaned by scrubbing
them with a hand brush and warm
soapsuds after removing the steels and
laces, then rinsing. When dry, mend
carefully and put the steels and laces
back In place.
To renew lace wells dip them in new
milk, squeeze dry and pin them to a
firm surface to dry. Pick out every
point of the lace and have the edges
perfectly straight, and the lace will
look like new when dried.
Pink, ciel blue or mauve accessories
often render a gray gown becoming to
either fair or dark women, and, again,
small amount of rich velvet, with the
addition of some handsome deep cream
lace, greatly improves a gray toilet.

To bake bananas deliciously make a

and one lemon will be required. A lit

Remove the entire skin of the bananas,

How to Hold Up n Skirt.

How few women ever attain the fac
ulty of holding up the skirts ON rainy
days with ease and daintiness! AL
though it is the rule to wear hoTnced
underskirts that almost touch the
ground, petticoats that reach only to
the top of high boots have hitherto
been the rule, and on rainy days these
are still reverted to. When out walk
ing, the clever woman arranges her
skirt, and then, with one hand or per-
haps two, she lightly lifts it so that it
falls evenly all round. This is where
the knack comes in, says writer in
the Louisville Post. To hold up a
skirt on one side and let it sweep the
ground on the other is very natural,
but it is not good taste, and when it
falls evenly all round and the frills Of
the petticoat are almost if not quite
visible the effect is dainty in the eX-
treme. One of the things that are
taught at a school in New York is how
to hold up the skirt gracefully.

New York Times, for the purpose of
ascertaining how many hours children
of various ages ought to sleep in order
that they may be able to study prop
erly.
According to the report forwarded to
the minister of education, children who
are four years old should sleep twelve
hours, children who are seven years
old eleven hours, children who are nine
years old ten hours, children who are
from twelve to fourteen years old from
nine to ten hours and those who are
from fourteen to twenty-one years old
from nine to ten hours. 1t further
points out that an9mia and weakness
in children are frequently due to lack

Eastern travellers say the reason
there are no nervous women in China
is because they wear soft shoes. There
is no doubt that the hard soled shoes of
the western world are the cause of
much nerve racking and mental and
physical wear and tear.
After hard day much relief can be
found in the slipping on of pair of
soft sOled shoes.
Tired feet and tired nerves will find
much comfort in warm footbath,
with handful of sea salt in it. Pad
die about in this till the water cools,
dry the feet carefully with rough
towel and don fresh stockings. If one
could take time in the middle of the
day to change stockings for a fresh
pair, it would be easier to keep the
feet warm and to ward off rheumatism
Tender feet may be strengthened by
bathing and then rubbing them with
methylated spirits before retiring for
the night and another excellent plan
is to swathe them with a bandage
dipped in alum water.
