For enlarged pores on nose and cheeks,
every night use almond oil, rubbing it well

hot water. Twice a week, instead of the
oil, substitute lotion of alum water, which
is astringent. Dissolve half ounce powder

TsHE opportunity for women to achieve sue
cess in business or professional life to-
day is very much greater than ever be-
fore Only a few years ago women's activities
were confined almost entirely to their home and
social life. They seldom attempted to get out
into the business world to vie with men in the
fight for their daily bread and to make a name
But during the past twenty years women have
gained great success In business and have be-
come famous In the practice Of law and medi-
cine and in other professions No newspaper is
complete without women reporters and every
large Office has women clerks and bookkeepers.
noticeably successful life Is that Of Mrs
Elizabeth NJ. LAPEL of Buffalo, n. Y. who is
the presiding officer of one Of the largest
branches of the American Fraternal Insurance
Union, an organization which pays out every
year thousands of dollars in benefits to its men,
bers Mrs. LaPell is farseeing woman. She
must be. to direct the affairs of her council in
a successful manner But she, like thousands
Of her sisters. failed to look after her health
She did not realize that fall from a misstep
could result in much serious trouble years after
ward. Women in business life are too apt to
forget the little personal attentions they actu-
ally owe themselves. The menstrual period is
looked upon by them as an Unnecessary handicap
troublesome misfortune of their sex. In
stead of a althgiving relief it is regarded as
unwelcome ordeal

grapes, gathered, with russet and green

The Fancy Color Craze.
Hardly less enhancing these days than
the milliners windows are the counters
where the latest ideas in neckwear are dis
played. AS matter of fact a dainty and
elaborate collar piece, though only made OF
a scrap of this and a hands breadth Of
that is almost expensive a nice hat
and almost as essential to feminine peace
of mind. Five examples of the kind OF
smart collar that clever woman can evolve
from scrap bag treasures are grouped and
suggested in a sketch. These are all made
of wash goods and treated with stitchings,
with French knots, Or braid lace motifs, ap-

A SATIN FACED COSTUME.

Stitched bands, revers collar and inside
cuff of pale blue cloth strike the required
high note in the compositions; and a
smoothly drawn vest of cloth on which.
of heavy ecru braid lace gives just the
necessary elaboration that entities the
gown to be called ''dressy" and also en-
titles it to a fitting appearance at smart
luncheons, afternoon teas, spring weddings.
For Garden Party Use.
Your frou-frou woman, with a love of the
picturesque in dress, devotes her attention.
both intellectual and financial, to the mus
lin boom. Her taste in silk leads her to the
embroidered pongees, her interest in wool
draws her to satin spotted veilings, but her
heart and thoughts ever with the mus
lins. Those most luxurious silk and mo-
hair muslins, the braided muslins and pima
cloth from Manila are the newest items on
her shopping list An idea of the ever in
creasing elaborateness of these transparent
gowns is conveyed by a picture of one of
the latest triumphs of a prominent dress
maker. Two points in this engaging little
toilet must be mentioned. one is that knot
of ribbon on the skirt. It's the new ribbon
for muSllnS, one of it's surfaces is black,
the other is pale green moire. A little later
1t will prevail conspicuouSly, just now it is
a scarce and special novelty, from the other
side. where it is called La Contesse.
The second important feature which this
model displays is the crowning touch, the
toque of big yellow roses Without going
into explanatory details we may say that
the muslin is composition in well assem-
bled yellows, rose tints and touches of
green: accordingly the hat is a shape of
pale pink satin straw, trimmed with yellow
roses and green foliage. and let the reader
bear in mind that flower toque is the full
dress headgear for the next six months.
Second to the flower is the cap of richly
tinted foliage on which is arranged from
three to five colors of grapes. Bunches of
pale green, red, black, yellow and silver

Mrs. IaPe.l's story can best be told by her
letter:
Two years ago a fall from a
misstep caused falling of the
womb. | paid little attention to it,
taking no treatment until after
four months, when the pain be-
came SO severe had to do some
thing to get relief. McElree's

vertised for my trouble and de-
cided to try it and bought a bottle.
After using it but a week | could
feel the pain diminishing, and af-
ter five weeks faithful use | was
perfectly well once more.
My general health was also
much improved, in fact, | have
never felt better than this last
year"
If Mrs. LAPEL had used the same forethought
in regard to health as she did in her business
she would not have been in that serious state
in which she when she took Wine of Cardul

Developing the Bust.
The best treatment for women who desire
to develop the bust Is first as much rest
as possible, ten hours sleep during the
twenty-four nourishing food deep breath

It is impossible to develop the bust If
there is any structure about the waist or
chest, therefore the corset should be loose.
Padding is fatal for the development of
the bust.

nection with the use Of lotion made of:

Useful Recipes.

For violet face cream put half an ounce
each of white wax and spermaceti and a
gill of almond oil in an earthen jar, set the
jar in a pan of hot water on the stove and
stir until the mixture melts; when it is an

add drachm of best violet extract, pour at

The difference in size between the waist
and the bust-the mea surement being taken
just under the arms-in the well-formed
woman, should be from eight to ten inches
A woman physician kindly took the trou-
BILE to measure four women to decide the
question to the proportionate difference
between the bust and the waist. In two
instances there was a difference of eight
inches. in the third nine and in the fourth
ten. All of the women were well proper
toned. Afterward the measurement Of a
woman was taken who had never worn a
corset in her life, and the difference be-
tween the two points was barely six
inches. All ready-made waists for women
of ordinary size are made with ten inches
difference between the bust measure and
