The clever GIL Is not as a rule 4
sturdy girl. Under stress and difficulty
she becomes irritable. If the strain be
prolonged. she either backs out or
breaks down. To be sure, her clever
ness often enables her to do quickly
what it takes her less excitable sisters
longer to accomplish; but. take the
clever girl as a whole, We are apt to
find her efforts fragmentary, her course
zigzag and her goal uncertain. But in
the battle for life, alike for woman and
for man. it is grit that wins.
There is no reason why Il clever girl

We hope that there are few ladies
who have cause to suspect their dress
maker of keeping back portions of the
material intrusted to her care for max
ing up. None the less an interesting
precaution extracted from letter
written about 1870 Is amusing.
The plan which the lady set forth
was "to buy everything that goes to
the making of costume, even to the
tape and thread, and when they are
delivered out they are all together
weighed before the needlewomans
eyes, and when she brings home the
costume 1t is again put into the scale
with the shreds of every sort, and it Is
expected the whole shall answer the

TOILET TIPS.
Never brush or rub the eyebrows the

Never brush or rub the eyebrows the
wrong way.
Keeping the hands long In hot water
or in very cold water should be avoid
ed. In washing the hands only tepid
water should be used.
1t is often difficult after washing
long hair to comb 1t through, but if
lemon is squeezed over 1t the tangles
will quickly disappear.
Salt as a tooth powder Is better than
almost anything that can be bought.
1t keeps the teeth brilliantly white
and the gums hard and rosy.
Tincture of myrrh added to a glass
Of water in quantity sufficient to make
a milky liquid is a good solution with
which to sponge the gums after the
teeth are cleansed.
If your hands are very dirty, rub a
little olive oil or vasellne well into
them before washing them with soap
and water The oil helps to loosen the
dirt and will also make the skin softer
than it would otherwise be.
Keep at hand half a lemon from
which the pips have been removed and
a filbert sized piece of boraX inserted
The juice will remove almost every
kind of stain, and its constant use
keeps the hands white and soft.

A Field For Women.

Cleansing wearing apparel Is so sim
pie that one has no excuse to wear
soiled garments. For men there are
Companies which press and clean gar
ments and make small repairs with
regularity of time and payment In
time some enterprising woman will
start a similar business for women,
charging a monthly price for cleaning
and pressing and needed stitches and
perhaps something extra for repairs
like bindings and belts, fresh hooks
and loops and collar and sleeve fac
ings. She would charge for the mate
rails used. of course, and a sum pro-
portionate to the other charges FOR the
work.
There will be good living in such a
business if the woman understands the
work and can do it in a professional
manner. This is one of the fields of
labor which women have missed in the
past, just as reliable dressmazers are
continually missing good opportunities.
There are many, many women who
have searched in vain for workers who
cut and fit carefully and sew neatly
women who can copy designs from
fashion books, who will use up what
ever materials are offered them and
turn out satisfactory results-reasona-

1t is a mark of weakness to be eccen-
trio in dress, and to devote to it so
much time and thought that the pur-
suit dwarfs the mind and takes from
the opportunity for culture and for
spiritual growth is worse than weak: it
is wicked. One may, however espe-
cially In these days of artistic excel
lence in dress, select the mode, the
jewels, the shapes, fabrics and colors
best suited to ones personality and in
manner adapt style of her own.
The dress for the street and prone
made should have an appropriate rela-
ton to It's uses; the business dress
should be trim, tidy and unobtrusive;
the home dress and that for occasions
Of ceremony, ornate, tasteful, elegant

An old physician told the writer of Il
case he had with a delicate baby. One
day he called TO find the little one with
q heavy cold. Did you give it 4 bath
yesterday at the temperature l order
ed?" he asked the mother. She had
given 1t the bath, but of temperature
and thermometeO she was blissfully
ignorant. At last the doctor extracted
the information that her test of tenn
perature was, IF the baby grew blue,
the bath was too cold; if it grew red,
1t was too hot" If one cannot af
ford q thermometer" said the physi-
clan in conclusion, you have a sure
enough one in bare elbow. The
hand, Injured to all degrees Of heat
and cold, perhaps calloused with hard
work, is no fit critic of anything so del
icately important as the temperature

elbow, the baby will grow neither red
nor blue, but find real enjoyment in
his bath."-Good Housekeeping.

The Contented Mouth.

The woman with a contented mouth

Smooth Folded Garments.

The housekeeper who lacks for hang
ing space for garments often bewails
the creases acquired by folding. This
trouble may be greatly obviated if
newspapers are laid on the garment
and folded with it before putting away.
Papers laid between the folds have the
same effect. 1t is also said that bees

tween the folds of white silks and
