liable Spanish beauty-the silver
skinned girl may be stained far too
rosy red. For the silver blonde it is
better to make a solution of one-half
distilled water and one-half straw
berry juice, say half a pint of each.
To this is added a teaspoonful of
lemon juice. This makes nice bleach
for the skin and imparts pretty pink
glow.
Bleaching the Arms.
In treating the arms a great deal of
care is necessary, as well as a great
deal of skill. Pure alcohol is good for
the arms in that it tends to whiten
them. But here, again, one must take
care. Be sure that the skin will bear
alcohol. If possible apply it twice a
day, using a long rubbing movement
not a pinching motion. Cologne
water also whitens the arms and ap-
plications of acids are sometimes
good Vinegar, followed by cold
cream, as been known to be effective.
But, after ALL there must be arti-
foo employed before the work is COM
plete; and this must be found in the
shape of cold cream and complexion
powder.
The skin, after it has been bleached,
should be well rubbed with good
cream, and this should be smoothed
off until there is none of it on the sur
face. Little cream is needed, but it
should be applied warm, so that it
will sink into the skin. If applied
with the palm of the hand the heat of
the hand will be all that is necessary
The arms, the hands, the wrists, the
shoulders, the neck, and the throat
should all have their application of
cold cream, and over this should be
applied a little complexion powder.
Many professional beauties, besides
any number of pretty society women,
are fastidious in the matter of face
powders, preferring the use of a pink
or a rose colored powder on the face,
while they apply a cream powder to
the neck and shoulders, and a white
powder to the arms.
1t is all matter of taste, but the
woman of discretion will understand
that the results quite justify any
means which she will take to be pref
ty, and that each minute she spends
upon her toilet will be rewarded with
an increased improvement in her ap-
pearance.
Time spent upon the treatment of
ones self is never wasted, and an
hour spent before the dressing table
will show itself in conspicuous i'm
provements in ones looks.

THE WEDDING RING.

A long time ago the wedding ring
was worn on the forefnger and was
thickly studded with precious stones.
People who have seen the old pictures
of the Madonna in Rome will remem-
Der that in one or two of them there
is a glistening ring on the foreinger
of her right hand, but with Christian
ity came the wearing of the wedding
ring on the third finger rather than
the first
The old story of there being a vein
that runs from that finger to the heart
is nonsense. Its use originated in
this way:
The priest first put it on the thumb,
saying, I'm the name of the Father" !;
on the foreinger, adding, Gin the name
of the Son.; on the second finger, re-
peating, Tin the name of the Holy
Ghost" and on the third finger end
ing with amen" and there it stayed

THEIR CRITICS

The circumstances which surround
the Catholic press of the United
States are not unlike those which are
met by Catholic journalists in Great
Britain. There, as here, criticism is
heard where there should be encour-
agement and good will. Those who
feel a duty toward the Catholic press
feel that duty to be chiefly one of
criticism, not always helpful, either
lin tone or in results. 1t is to such
as them that Bishop Hedley was re-
ferring when at a recent conference
of the Catholic Newspaper Guild of
Great Britain, held in the Archbish-
ops house at Westminster, his lord
ship declared that he had the greatest
possible respect for the Catholic
press, far greater than he had for its

NEW WORK FOR IRISH WOMEN

A new and promising industry
seems opened up for ireland in the
manufacture of high-priced carpets.
The dizziness of finger shown by Irish
peasant women in their exquisite lace
and embroidery here finds another
field, on larger and what bids to be
more lucrative scale. The carpets,
which are at present specially of
Donegal, are handmade and resemble
Turkish carpets in quality, though not
in pattern. The designs are supplied
by Messrs. Liberty, and are reproduced
with the greatest skill. The manufac-
ture is entirely local, and the wool is
dyed with vegetable colors known to
the peasants of Donegal. 1t is calcu-
lated that one girl can work up the
fieeces of 225 sheep in year. so that
1000 workers would enable 10000
score of sheep to be profitably grazed
on the bleak mountain sides of Done
gal, which, with the various indus
tries connected with the preparation
of the wool, would bring from $780,
600 to 100000 a year into the most
poverty stricken counties of Ireland.
