LITTLE HELPS.

A good cold cream is made as fol-
lows: Beat up one ounce OF pure
white vaseline with one ounce of rose
water; let stand for a short time. In
another dish, beat we'll together half
an ounce of best lanolin, and twenty
drop. of simple tincture of benzoin
add to this the vaseline and rosewater
and heat all until it appears soft and
creamy. Rub a little into the skin
every night after washing, to keep the
skin beautifully soft.
A quick rubbing all over the body
with rough towel, flesh brush, or
horse-hair gloves, is an excellent
thing to do just before going to bed, as
it quickens the circulation and often
induces quiet sleep, but this should
never be done in a room where the
temperature is so low as to suddenly
chill the body when the clothing is
removed.
Mothers should see that their little
ones do not 60 to bed with cold or
damp feet. Rubbing the feet thor
oughly with coarse, rough towel be-
fore lying down is better than apply
ing heated articles, as the rubbing
brings the heat from within by arous.
ing circulation. A child should not
be allowed to sleep in bed socks, as
these will impede circulation, or pre-
vent exhalation OF moisture and the
feet will remain cold.
To brighten the color in carpet or
rug, sweep with a broom that has
been dipped in salt water and we'll
shaken before using. The broom
should be only damp. and should be
washed as often as it shows dirt.

Popcorn.

The little folks have just brought in
q pan full OF buttered popcorn, and
we are sure the little boys and girll
who read the STANDARD would like tC
know how they make 1t. Have you 9
corn-popper? One will cost you five
or ten cents, and, with careful hand
ling, will last you several seasons. II
is no trouble at all to pop corn in 9
pepper, and it pops SO much better
too.
After you have popped a painful
warm tablespoonful OF butter tt
every gallon of the popped corn
pour the butter over the corn and still
all together; sprinkle little salt ovel
it and stir again. After a few trial.
you will know just how to do it. Meat
fryings, from nice fresh pork, is pre-
ierred by some, but either is nice.
Popcorn balls are easily made, too
and everybody likes fresh popcorn
balls.
Boil your syrup until it will harder
in cold water, then pour it over the
peppered corn. Butter your handI
and work the corn into balls; yor
will soon learn how.

CHRISTMAS DEVICES.

Alter the gifts have been prepared,
the next question is how shall we pre-.
sent them SO as to add most to the
pleasure of the day. There are those
who are so lost to the Christmas ira.
ditions as to be willing to have the
Yule tide offerings of their friends,
simply deposited on the library table,
to be examined at leisure, but the
calm, matter-of-fact people are in the
minority, and with most of us the
chief joy Of the day is the pleasure OF
giving and receiving in company with
our dear ones.
The Christmas tree is always well
come, then there is the Santa Claus,
coming in person to distribute the
gifts from his well-flled sack; the
Christmas bell and many other de.
lightful ways-not the least delight
full being the old, old.fashioned way
Of hanging up the stocking around
the fireplace, or its substitute, the
stove.
Here is novel plan: Procure at
many, small, bright, new tin pans as
there are persons; fill the pans with
sawdust, then place in them the gifts
for each one (the owners name being
fastened to each pan). Tie these gifts
in compact parcels, leaving 4 long end
of string; these strings are passed
through openings in the crust oil
the pie. This is made Of white
paper. the edges crimped to fiji
closely around the edge OF the pan, .
little touch of paste holding them
firmly. Around the pie place Z
wreath Of fringed and twisted tissue
paper, and Hasten this, also, with I
touch Of paste.
