Notes For the Nervous.

If woman is inclined to nerves."
she should bring all her common sense
to bear upon the case and try her level
best to live consistently-thati is, if she
is weak and inclined to irritability, let
her, as far as possible, avoid the things
which irritate her. This may seem
selfish, but it is the purest charity, and
the end justifes the means.
The nervous person requires more
sleep than one in health, and further
more she should rest when she feels so
inclined, and rest should be properly
taken. The room should be thoroughly
ventilated with constant free circu-
lation Of air both day and night
Then on firm, hard bed-avoid the
feather bed as you would poison-mi-
lady may rest in peace. She will, of
course, use no pillow or, If she must,
just the tiniest one, and she will lie
most Of the time on the right side un-
less she can cultivate the habit of ly-
ing fat on her back all night, which is
the best position to take.

Women generally do not do justice
to pretty gowns because they have not
learned how to put on their things
smartly or even neatly. They have ac-
quired the art of dress, but not the
still more subtle art Of dressing. Pu-
ritanism dies hard in what has been
termed our great mediocracy." Even
If money is abundant there is rooted
feeling that true piety" can only be
expressed by dowdiness. Dowdyism Is
a disease and deadly one. 1t has its
chief seat in the head Inside and out
side and in the neck, and is also the
result of our too faithful fondness for
old and shabby clothes.
To escape it one must avoid the Scyl-
la Of an untidily, unfashionably dress
ed head and the Charybdis of badly
arranged neck. A smart woman has
all her gowns made at home, and yet
she is never dowdy. And why? Be-
cause she knows how to put them on.
Her hair is we'll done, her neck smart
" swathed, and her wells, gloves, shoes
and boots are always fresh and per-
feet of their kind. Dowdies are born,
not made. An undue humility has
much to answer for. The typical "wo-
man Of no importance" soon goes to
pieces on the rock of dowdyism. A few
gowns, but many accessories, are an
antidote to this dread disease.

False Ambition.

Ambition is an excellent thing, but
unless its object is higher than to fit
one merely for society then 1t Is an
other name for foolish pride. No one
can happily shine in society whose
character is not of the right sort. 9th
erwise the shine soon wears Off, show
ing the poor material beneath it.
There are some women who enter into
some kind of philanthropic work sim
ply for the sake of the notoriety it will
give them and not for the love Of it.
The highest ambition of some mothers
is to have their daughters brilliant
bellies of society who will capture rich
husbands. II their expectations are
not realized, they become hopelessly
disappointed. If the daughters had
been trained in those gentle virtues
that were overlooked for more snowy
accomplishments, they would undoubt-
edly have proved themselves more
charming and agreeable companions.
Unless girl has pure, noble and de-
lightful character. then all her other
Accomplishments must fall to bring
success.

SOME BEAUTY DON'TS.

Don't battle the face while it is very
warm or very cold.
Don't be afraid of sunshine and fresh
air. They offer you bloom and color.
Don't battle in hard water. Soften IL
with a little powdered borax or hand
full of oatmeal.
Don't wash the face when travelling
unless is with little alcohol and wa
ter or little cold cream.
Don't rub the face with too coarse a
towel. Treat it as you would the finest
porcelain, tenderly and delicately.
Don't forget that hearty laughter is a
source of relaxation. So are all high
thoughts, as those of hope, beauty,
trust and love.
Don't attempt to remove dust with
cold water. Give-the face a hot bath
with soap and then rinse thoroughly
with clear tepid or cold water.
Don't neglect to sleep. You can sleep
yourself into good looks. A long nap
and hot bath will make any woman
more attractive and lift years from her
shoulders.
Don't forget that beauty is power.
There is nothing more potent. 1t is to
a woman what capital is to a mer-
chant. Its absence is misfortune, its
culture wise and proper.

AS the choice of colors is a stumbling
block to so many, few words on this
subject may be useful. A girl with a
pale complexion can wear indigo blue
and the russell shades, dark red and
medium green. With brown hair, gray
eyes and poor complexion one may
wear black relieved with cream, blue
with cream, dark green, very light
shade of pink and coppery red A
girl with red hair and a clear complex
ion may wear white, black, pale blue,
green, but not deep pink, orange, deep
purple or bright red. A blond may
wear blush purple, while brunette
with a good color may wear reddish
purple. Sallow skins need rich, warm
tones. A woman of this type may wear
dark, rich red, russell shades, most of
the dark brown shades, cherry pink,
rose and cream color. The good old
rule that bids woman for street wear
choose the color of her hair, for house
wear the color of her eyes and for even
ing wear the color Of her skin may be
borne in mind. When a girl has two
or three different colors in her eyes, as
often happens, if she matches any of
them it will suit her.-American Queen.
