MILK as a Beautifier.

tints, drink milk, cream and cocoa.
One of the fads of the fashionable

which she asserts produces wonderful
results in maintaining and restoring

Hot milk. judiciously taken, is
nourishing and stimulating. If taken
at night a glass of hot milk is refresh
ing and sleepinducing, and sleep is
the great aid to the preservation of
youth and coed looks.
Many people complain that they
cannot drink milk without being dis
tressed by 1t. The reason is that they
drink 1t too fast. At least four
minutes should be occupied in drink

Washing FIannels.

A rather stiff brush about four and
a half inches long, without counting
the length of the handle. and two or
three inches wide, is a convenient ar
ticle in the laundry outfit. Corsets
and fiannels are much more easily
scrubbed clean with brush than
rubbed clean on board. Flannels
of pure wool which are not rubbed
but scrubbed with brush, using wa
ter softened with ammonia or borax
and white non-resinous soap, will
not shrink and grow hard, IL they are
dried on firm wooden frame. Rub
bing all wool flannel on board causes
the ultimate spiral fibres of the wool
to become entangled and shrink. This
cannot happen when flannel is
scrubbed with brush. The dirt Is
also more easily removed from the
interstices of the cloth by using
the brush. Hard water and resinous
brown soaps cause flannel to be hard.
Stoclsinet garments of wool should al
ways be dried on wooden frames of
their exact shape and size when new.
These wooden frames are used at
stockinet factories where the goods
are washed, and can be obtained at a
comparatively low price.-New York
Tribune.

klno,s pau,hters Not Ambitious.

King Edwards three daughters seem
to be devoid of personal ambition, and
to be quite willing that their sister
in-law and their aunts. Helena,
Louise and Beatrice, should represent
royalty in their stead. So far from
profting by the rise in the rank
which their fathers accession gained
them. the Duchess OF Fife and her
sisters prefer to stay iway from func-
tions whore they would precede
Queen Victoria's daughters; so 1t is
not often that these illustrious ladies
meet in full state array. One parlia-
ment opening and the coronation have
seemed about enough for them. 1t is
scarcely likely that the Duke of Flies
daughters will make royal matches,
and in all probability they will be-
come British peeresses, and have far
more pleasant life than If they turned
into German princesses, and had to
follow a foreign spouse to his own
country.--London Modern Society.

Lotion for the Hands,

A correspondent sends In the rol~
lowing recipe: The best lotion
know of, for the hands, when one has
to do rough work and then to try to
sew, is glycerin. arnica and lemon.
One ounce of the first two, and the
Juice of one lemon, strained. The
glycerine softens, the arnica heals and
the lemon will whiten and take stains
off. This can be used when one sits
down to sew, and as 1t dries in quick
ly, will not soil the work.-New York.

Monoele Very Latest Fad.

II Paris is the home of styles, New
York is the home of fads-wise and
foolish alike. And the woman who
would be fashionable must needs keep
one eye on the Boulevard, the other
on Fifth avenue.
Even in England, where innovations
are looked at askance, the window
pane is being taken up, enc writer
explaining that the trick has been
learned from some American girls who
have recently gone over. That the
trick will probably catch on" in Eng
land is admitted by this writer, who
pathetically adduces the reason: for
things American seem TO be In the
ascendant"
Il met some of Uncle Sans daugh-
ters the other day wearing monocles,'
she writes, 'and when somone sug-
gested strpise, they said, Why, don't
you know, it's just the cutest and
latest thing on the other side.'"
And so 1t is, If one may judge from
what usually proves to be sure indi-
cation 1. e., the big stocks being
lalu IN Dy our DlS SEOpS.
Five dollars, and even as small a
sum of three dollars, will pay for O
monocle, while, on the other hand,
there are richly jeweled, artistically
designed ones that fetch fifty, seventy
five and even two hundred dollars.
Only the most audacious of the fad
dists go so far as to wear the glass
actually stuck in the eye.
Most women who use 1t have dain-
ty little handle of gold, set with jewels,
by which to hold 1t up, while others
even go to the extent of having gems
set in the rim in which the glass is
inserted. Some people have a round
glass, while others have a square one.
They are very much like the old
"quizzing" glasses of the time of our
grandmothers or great-grandmothers,
and while some people undoubtedly
do use them because they need them,
there are good many women who
use an eyeglass simply because 1t is
the fashion. There were attempts
made some three or four years ago
to make the eyeglasses fashionable.
Instead OF the mans plain silk cord,
women wear fine chains made of gold
or silver or gun metal.
Some attribute this monocle fad to
the influence of Prince Henry of Prus-
sia on the occasion of his recent visit.
But why the poor innocent prince
should be blamed, the Lord only
knows, for he is guiltless of wearing
a monocle.
But who ever Is to blame. the fad
is here, and, to all appearances, is
here to stay.-Chicago Record-Herald
