All Women Have neautx.

Every woman that exists has some
point of beauty, possibly lying dor
mant, which can develop. 1t may be a
cultivated intellect. an inspired soul,
sweet nature. fine presence, lovely
form or beautiful face. and somewhere
on this great round globe somebody
has recognized that fact or will. So II
behooves all mankind to look we'll
into themselves and endeavor to inn
prove the good points, to ameliorate
the unfortunate ones and entirely for
get that they have any bad ones.
There Is nothing so farreaching as
self forgetfulness. either where beauty
exists or does not exist
A famous statesman on being asked
what he considered the greatest type
of beauty in women replied. ''Thc wo-
man who is beautiful and does not
know it and the homely woman who
by her intelligence and graceful bear
ing makes you forget it."
Life is too short to be constantly re.

for gray eyes when we have blue and
longing for black tresses when ours

October's Bright Blue Weather.

0, suns and skies and clouds of June,

When loud the humble bee makes

Belated, thriftIess vagrant,
And golden-rod is dying fast,
And lanes with grapes are frag.
raut;
When gentians roll their fringes tight
To save them from the morning,
And chestnuts fall from satin burrs
Without word of warning;
When on the ground red apples lie
In piles like jewels shining,
And redder still on old stone walls
Are leaves of woodbine twining;
When all the lovely wayside things
Their white-winged seeds are
sowing,
And in the fields, still green and fair,
Late aftermaths are growing;
When springs run low, and on the
brooks,
In idle, golden freighting,
Bright leaves sink noiseless in the
hush
OF woods for winter waiting;
When comrades seek sweet country
haunts,
By twos and twos together,
And count like misers hour by hour,
October bright blue weather.
o, suns and skies and flowers OF
June,
Count all your boasts together,
Love loveth best of all the year,
October's bright blue weather.

Well Conducted Household.

On the door of the linen, china, glass
and silver closets should be placed a
list of their contents. When new arti-
Giles are added, a record should be
made and the same done when they
are lost or worn out. Copies of the
lists should be kept in the housewives
own housebook, which should contain
in addition recipes for cleaning silver,
mending china and doing other useful
things.
Once a year the efficient housekeep-
er will take stock of her belongings
and will replace missing china and
linen. Her maids will soon come to I'M
derstand that nothing about the house
hold escapes the attention of its mis-
tress or is too small for her to take
note of. and in time the establishment
will move in as well oiled grooves as
well conducted mercantile concern.

The skin and Massage.

There is no reason whatever why q
good skin should not be retained until
well into middle age The reason it is
not is because few women realize the
efficacy of arresting the natural process
of decay by artificial means, or, rather,
of counteracting the whitening effect
of our artificial living, in time. During
youth all sorts of abuses may be in
dulged in with impunity. The natural
health of youth defies them, but when
this growing time is past and nature no
longer supplies the body with multiple
force there must be deterioration I'M
less we take some measures ourselves
to preserve the beauty of youth and to
arrest the advance of age tokens. One
of the best means possible for this,
where the skin is concerned, is mas
sage. This supplies the skin with the
blood which in youth is supplied I'M
consciously. and it preserves the it's
sues and texture as long as it is en-
ployed. Such massage as this need be
but little else than pressure, to call the
blood to the surface of the skin and
to keep it alive and active. With the
tips of the fingers, at least once day,
every inch of the space on the face and
neck should be gently but firmly
pressed and kneaded. not so as to cause
n soreness. but so that the blood is
called to the very surface and every
smallest cell is flooded. 1t may be
done in bathing the face, if no wash
cloth be employed. by rubbing the soap
into the skin with the finger tips and
then rinsing all this off.
