A CORNER CUPBOARD.
How Any Bright HOusekeeper Can
ImprOVise One Easily and
Very Economically.

A corner cupboard has the advan~
tage of being useful and effective
and at the same time exceedingly
economical in the matter of space
il occupies. Such corner cupboard
as sketched would be useful in
small fat and it can be easily and
economically contrived. II one can
utilize the walls for the two sides of
the cupboard one saves lot OF trou-
BILE. If the room is low one then
the cupboard could extend from
floor to ceiling, but if the room is
high then the cupboard might be
from five feet six inches to six feet
from floor to top. The front should
be from 30 to SO inches wide. Two
fat pieces of wood, some three isch-
es wide and about three-quarters of
an inch thick, should be got out the
length of the height of the cupboard.
These pieces oCnA be ehamfered At
the edges. Or a couple of grooves
taken out with a plane to add to the
appearance, or they can left just
fat.
Now get out two further strips
about same width. but half an inch
thick, TO go at right angles to the
uprights (see ground plan; the up
rights are \ and the side pieces b;
we leave the main structural details
of our cupboard. The use of the
side pieces B is to fill out the narrow
angles made by the front pieces A

A at top and bottom TO add to the
strength. The cornice at top and

mOlding and should be cut just to

have to be leveled or cut like the
miter of "A frame so that they fit
close to the wall, which they would
not do if the molding were cut off

nailed to the wall. The shelves

THE NECK BEAUTIFUL.
How Every Woman May Present an
Appearance Pleasing to Herself
and Her Admirers.

Nothing is more aggravating to the
average woman than the black, gray
or brown streak that shows around
the neck after the wearing of high
dress collars. The mark is often the
result Of bad dye i'm the facing of the
collar. and half an hour devoted to
facing all of ones collars with white
silk or even white cotton will be well
spent. Sometimes the rubbing Of the
stiff band sears the neck, and scrub
bing with hard soap only makes the
skin seem more @rnsitive, and so still
more darkly bruised.
Loosen the collars little and have
them finished at the top with a soft
roll Of the material Such a finish Is
always becoming, and often removes
the trouble in a little while.
If the mark must be taken off at
short notice, perhaps because a dress
cut a little low in the neck is to be
worn, then anoint the flesh thorough
" with warm yaseline. Use a soft
linen cloth dipped in vaSeline. apply
inc it as if il were soap. and turning
the cloth whenever the applied sur
face gets soiled This is very impor-
tant. or you will only scrub the stain
in deeper.
Let the neck rest" a little while,
and then with warm sOapsuds and a
very soft sponge wash off the grease
thoroughly. Rinse with hot water
several times and then battle with
cold water till the skin is chilled. This
should close the pores and leave the
skin dry and smooth. Unless this Is
accomplished the open pores and
greasy surface will only promptly at
tract the stain again.
When the skin is entirely dry, dust
we'll with dry oatmeal. Rub off light
". and when the natural color of the
l skin is regained. after all the manipu-
lation. the neck will, in nine eases out
of ten. be pretty and white.
When YOU are not in quite so much
hurry use warm soapsuds and sponge

with cold water. In stubborn cases

Don't employ rough methods. don't
use ammonia. and never scrub the neck

full and white. Whatever bruises or
enlarges the pores of the skin only
proIongs the difficulty of removing
stains.-Chicago American.

came peer the other day, upon the
death of his father. the gallant old
marquis, who was one of the greatest
diplomats, as we'll as one of the finest
gentlemen, in England. There is prob
ably little doubt that the old noble
man died of broken heart over the fail
ure of Whitaker Wright's company
the London & Globe. Of which Lord
DutfeTin had consented to be chair
man without knowing much about the
cOmpany's operations. He gave up
most of his fortune to make good the
other shareholders losses. The new
marchioness is a beautiful woman, a
mistress of tact and of the art of en-
tertaining. and will be abundantly
able TO sustain her high estate in the
society of Europe. The young earl
was the second son of his celebrated
father, and came in the line of sue
