SALT AND PEPPER.
Many Think They Are only OF value

In Seasoning Food.
Salt hnd pepper as generally consid-
cred, iarc Of value in bringing out the
favoH OF the food TO which they are
added. That they have any value from
"a bealth standpoint is not so generally
recognized You may know that a
lump Of salt is good for horse, but
you do not stop TO consider how impor-
tant salt Is for your own well being.
In eastern countries the condiments,
such as pepper, are used to profusion
in all foods. Gastric troubles common
enough in other countries are conspic-
uously absent, and the free use OF
pepper has much to do with that fact.
Salt aud pepper work against fermen-

How a Beauty Dresses

An actress whose beauty is the talk
of the town gave me the pleasure and
privilege the other day of watching her
dress herself for anafternoon reception,
says a Philadelphia woman. And this Is
actually what she wears: Next her,
from her yoke down to her ankles, she
puts on tights. They were pink to ex-
actily match her skin. Her stockings,
which were Of openwork, revealed the
tone of her tights, and, so, Of course,
there must be no beginning and no end,
lust flesh color The whole structure
buttoned down the front. from the neck
downward all the way with fat but
tons. And the whole set like her own
neat gloves with which she later fin
ished her toilet.
Then came a ribbon corset in Persian
silk ribbon. The stripes were three
inches wide and there were seven of
them. one at the belt line and three
above and three meeting at a neat pair
of steels in front All slim girls wear
these ribbon corsets, and nicely they
do for us. But for those who are too
plump or who have a tendency to tele-
scope. look out
Over the ribbon corset came a bolero
corset cover. 1t was in narrow stripes
of lace and nainsook. and it was little
more than pair of armholes. 1t ter
minated far above the waist line, with
all the fulness over the bust, so that
it assisted with the latest fashion man.
rate that thou shalt be fat where thou
wantest to be fat and thin where it is
best to be so.
Then came the thinnest of white
taffeta petticoats, coming up under a
silver corset hook. set very low on the
corset and, finally, a princess gown.
You can imagine how the whole served
to make the figure slender-even slen-
derer than it would ordinarily have
been. yet how comfortable it all was.
Goodbye to the flannel petticoat OF
sacred memory; goodbye to the quilted
satin Detticoat of tradition. Farewell
forever to the bifurcated lace-trimmed
lundergarment meath the petticoat, that
once seemed like an article Of ones

Popularity Of POngee

The coming season is to be one Of
|pongee.
The predicted vogue of all the tones
Of coffee color has established the
pretty, soft and becoming fabric on a
pinnacle high in feminine favor. Pom
gee will be put to various smart uses
ranging from a dust wrap to a mans
Office coat-for separate waists and
|entire frocl1s. for lingerie and the bou-
doir negligee.
There is pongee in the natural color,
and in a varied range of artistic hues
-Pompadour tones-pink, blue, green
and browns. that look as If they had
borrowed their tints from an autumn
+ leaf.
The polka-dot, which seems to have
discovered the secret Of perennial popu-
alrity, sprinkles its festive little circles
in blue or In red at regular intervals
across the pretty, soft tan background.
What are designated as American
pongees are being shown at the pom
gee counters.
The embroidered pOngees are among
+ the fabrics this season of a decided as
Dect of smartness and persuasive air
of style. The designs are small, dainty
. figures. One has the surface traversed
by row Of dots alternated with a row
of pretty leaf-like designs. In another,
clusters Of pinch tucks are alternated
with broader bands of the plain pom
+ gee. Embroidered in the latter are
illiptical figures in blue, having a mar
row rim of black. This particular de-
+ sign comes with the figure in lovely
tones Of blue, rose, green, red or white,
with the surrounding line of black.
In another chic pattern, the clusters
of pinch tucks alternate with a grace
full little vine Stimulating a stripe ef-
feet The dainty little flowers and
graceful foliage are embroidered in
black and white in effective contrast
with the harmonious cOffee-coloT
grOund.
A domestic pongee has insettings Of
coffee-colored lace alternated with
bands of twice their width of pongee
The later are slightly puffed, producing
a charming effect.

ly remedies for blemishes. Nowadays,
insufficient bathing is the least OF the
common troubles The torpid liver is
to be blamed for sallowness and moth
patches. Sweets and fats produce pim-
pies and ugly eruptions. A flannel
wash cloth and a good face brush are
important toilet aids. A simple inter
nal remedy is Rochelle salts, two
ounces; cream of tartar, one ounce;
water, one quart. Pour hot water on
the dry ingredients and bottle for use.
Drink a wine glassful every morning.
To have a good complexion one must
waik a great deal. Also give up tea
and coffee and when you have put your
system in good order, it is time enough
to begin to think of cosmetics. A good
cream is made as follows Mutton tai
low, one ounce; cocoanut oil one ounce
oil of sweet almonds, two ounces; Ian
olin, on ounce. Heat in a double boiler
When the mixture is melted, remove
from the stove and add gradually one
ounce of witch hazel extract and one
teaspoonful OF benzoin. This is fine
tissue food. It bleaches and rehnes the
lskin.

Winter Beauty HELPS

Old-fashioned doctors will tell you
that mutton suet has far more curative
and healing qualities for the poor little
.chapped and rOughtened faces and
hands that cause so much pain, so
many tears, these wintry days than any
|or all the lotions and creams put up so
|daintily. and, incidentally, so inexpen-
'sively, in the shops. When you buy
mutton chops or a leg of mutton save
all the suet if you don't care for NUT
ton. and rarely serve it, a few cents
will buy you a pound, and you can have
all you need for such uses for more
than a season in that weight. Melt it
in a bowl set in hot water; strain
through cheesecloth into wet cups;
when cold it turns out a nee, round
ball of snow-white, soft grease, to be
applied as freely and as often as de-
sired: it takes out soreness and allays
the pain of sore and chapped hands
better than anything known.
Another nice prepartiOn for the hands
is Jelly cosmetic. which has the advan-
ltage over cold cream of drying at once
and not leaving the hands greasy. To
make II, soak thirty grains or gum
tragacanth in seven ounces of rose
water for three days. Strain forcibly
through muslin, adding one ounce OF
lglycerine, then one ounce of alcohol
then half a teaspoonful of pure borax
and two drops of oil Of rose.
This application is warranted to re-

eight grain of resorcin, one-fourth
ounce of glycerine. diluted in alcohol
to fill a two-ounce bottle. Put onto the
SCALP with a medicine dropper every
night rubbing in well with the finger
ltips. Every fortnight shampoo the
hair with seven or eight eggs and plen-
tv of hot water The eggs act as a
ltonic to the growth and are, besides
a perfect cleansing agent for scalp and
hair

valley Forge.

My impression had been that Valley
Forge was a wild glen high among the
mountains. where winter frosts and
SHOWS held unrelaXing sway FOR many
long, dark months every year. But
really its situation is neither lofty nor
remote, and the rigors of the cold are
not nearly what they would be in our
more northerly states. Comparatively
little snow falls. and often there is not
a weeks sleighing the winter through.
The valley Is only twenty-three miles
from Philadelphia, with which It has
direct communication by a railroad
