Useful Suggestions.

Proud flesh is the result of wound
and the treatment should be entrusted to a
physician. If you wet your hair with
slightly diluted alcohol and brush 1t out
thoroughly twice a day you can control it
better.
The ordinary soda used for washing is
the kind with which to treat blackheads.
Put about half a teaspoonful into small
bowl of hot water, then wash with the soap
and brush you are doing. A delightful
cream is made of one o. white wax, one
OF. spermaceti one OF. olive oil, one table,
spoonful honey, melted together and beaten
to a cream. Bay rum: Six OF. extract bay,
one gallon French proof spirit, mixed and
colored with caramel.
Skin food: Four OF. sweet almond OIL
two OF. lanolin, two OF. cocoanut oil, one
OF. white wax, one OF. spermaceti melted to-
gether. Beat until cold, adding gradually
while beating three drops tincture benzoin,
and finally two OF. orange flower water.
To increase the growth of the eyelashes,
apply occasionally a tonic made of ten
grains sulphate of quinine dissolved in two
ozs. cologne. Clipping is of benefit.

meet one to be remembered by those who
saw 1t for the first time.
This is an age of conundrums. We no
longer ask, why does the fly fy?' or
What made the lobster blush?" because
that would be descending to a level of
idfocy which few of us could long main
tain. The present fashion is to propose
queries which will serve as suitable sub
jects to discuss with the man who takes
you In to dinner. "Ougth marriage to be
on iease? for instance, now becomes a
sartorial conundrum which all the women
are asking each other. '"How many more
materials are to be chiffoned and moired?''
The question has been revived upon the
advent of two more newcomers in the MORE
field. They have double barreled names,
one being MORE poplin, ard charming
material 1t is from which to make dinner
dress or a gown de ceremonie. 1t has just
enough of the watered appearance to give
richness and piquancy to the poplin. But
the second pompadour MORE. is genuine
triumph of the manufacturers art. l saw
a charming dinner dress of pale water blue
tied with pale pink ribbons and showered
all over with pompadour flowers in soft,
shaded mauve. The full, gathered skirt
had a wide band of velvet in a lovely shade
of orchid mauve. This tone was repeated
on the decollete corsage in thick twist of
velvet above a bertha of lace. The velvet
band. by the way, is becoming matter OF
Importance on evening skirts even when the
lightest textures are employed. Indeed. we
seem to have lost the good old principle
of adjoining a light frock with light trim
mings, and our modistic proportions are
thrown overheard in this twentieth century
dispensation of things sartorial AS an ex-
ception to this rule comes the news that
Lebouvier has just designed two exquisitely
grlsh dancing frocks of chiffon, one
trimmed with scroll bouillonnes of satin rib
bon all around the skirt, and the other
adorned-w with tiny frills of ribbon one above
the other.
A White Jet.
To meet the general demand for white
there has been new trimming invented
white jet-which is quite the smartest thing
we have encountered for long while. In
some developments it is combined with
metallic effects. When applied to ball
dresses of white tulle it is embroidered In
combination with Opaque white beads, or
sometimes mingled with gold and silver
threads on fragile motifs of lace. 1t is ex-
quisite, however treated, and deserves to
have a long day of fashionable favor. AS
the price is exclusive it's future Is a bright
one.
Evening gowns of the season have to the
unworldly misleading quality of sim
plicity, only one wonders if there is any
one woman left in this weary, wicked world
unsophisticated enough to think that
gown has cost it's owner a small amount
just because it wears guileless air. One

life which never become democratic, and
conspicuous among them is the hunt. The
fashionable opening meet was held on St.
Huberts day N TIE forest of Chantilly
which has been noted throughout French
history for famous hunts held in its glades
little chapel situated in this forest was
chosen as the rendezvous of Nimrods and
hounds. There mass was celebrated before
the hunt. This was followed by a fanfare
of horns, after which the medieval custom
OF blessing the hounds took place. Some
times the hounds are taken into the church,
but on this occasion they were held in leash
by the huntsmen within the porch.
Needless to say, the costumes were ex-
tremely effective. A number of the smart
huntswomen wore the Louis XIV habit
with felt tricorne hat ornamented with old
gold galloon. Others appeared in red coats
and black riding skirts, with a chapeau of
black beaver trimmed with a band of old
gold. Brilliant equipages belonging to old
French families never seen except es-
pecial occasions are brought forth for the

POCKETS FOR A WOMAN.
A Desirable but Almost Unattainable
Consummation.
FROM die New York Times.

From the New York Times.
For one blessing man is enviable - his
pockets. Woman occasionally has a pocket,
but she can't use it Put in pocket she
pleads, and the dressmaker sends home the
new skirt with pocket slowed away in the
recesses of a hook-up placket hole. 1t Is
not workable pocket for three reasons:
First, 1t buges If there is even hand
lIerchief in 1t, destroying the symmetry OF
I ne outline.
Second. things aimed at Ii rarely succeed
in forcing an entrance but fall alongside,
downward. with whack on the floor.
Third, who could tumble through a whole
row of hooks and eyes, placed in the center
seam at the back? AS trifiing obstacle
in the way of blind manipulation it may be
mentioned that such hooks usually of a
tricky patent, or they would not stay fas-
tened at all.
At the hem OF the garment, under the

cent-shaped pouch may also be found lurk-
ing. A handkerchief can repose in one in
safety, merely involving some suppleness
in the owner, who must execute a kind OF
dive in withdrawing and reinserting Ii. A
silk foundation sometimes accommodates
quite practcal-looking receptacle, to
which the unwary at first intrust even a
purse or pocket knife. But hard objects

perience.

ALWAYS Breathe Deeply

both hands meet at the hollow of the
throat.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-12-24

Although the breathing exercises are of
great benefit, they cannot be entirely sue
cessful unless they teach you the habit of
constant deep breathing. To be sure, you
cannot always think of this. but If you will
devote a few days to reminding yourself of
1t the habit will be well under way to be-
coming established Make an effort to re-
member your long. deep breaths while you
are walking.
When you feel cold coming on fight 1t
at once with all these exercises. No medi-
cine can compare with them. They are not
a guaranteed cure, but 1t is safe to promise
that colds will become less and less fire.
quent with their practice A splendid young
college athlete is doubly entitled to tend
ency to tuberculosis. both parents having
been victims of the disease; but physicians
tell him that his lungs are sounder than
the average, owing to his own persistent
efforts to strengthen them by exercise.
Nasal Breathing.
Make a practice of breathing through the
nose. Sometimes this will seem impossible
when the nasal passage is nf1amed but If
you will rub the nose and forehead with
vaseline and persistently keep the lips
closed you will find that the air finds its
natural path. 1t is warmed and filtered
clear of dust and germs in its passage
through the nose Cold air inhaled through
the mouth is exceedingly irritating to the
bronchial tubes.
Any exercise which enforces strong
breathing is of benefit to the lungs. Blow
Ing soap bubbles is far more than child's
play. 1t is genuine physical training. The
bigger the bubble, the better for your
lungs. Go into competition with someone
and work to win. Did you know. by the
way, that few drops of pure glycerine
added to soapsuds will make the bubbles
a hundred times more beautiful and bril-
liant?
Whistling is a splendid exercise for all
these breathing organs. Whistle, whether
you are musical or not. You will at least
drive away blues.

of these creations is of white tulle over
white satin, with a design of peach-pink
peoples worked out in colored chenille and
white jet in trailing pattern on the skirt.
The bodice seemed to be nothing save a
high, tightly gathered ceinture. fastened
with large white jet buttons down the front
and a deep bertha composed of chenille
fringe and white jet. The tiny pulled
sleeves were supported by bretelles of tulle
embroidered in the poppy pattern.
Silvery Gauze and Green.
Another model particularly suitable for q
young lady Is of white silk gauze over a
foundation of silvery green. A beautifully
ruched trimming edged with green and yell
low silk ribbon adorns both skirt and waist.
1t is caught with bouquets of green and
white hortensia. The belt is of green lib
erty velvet.

White Felts and Their trimmings.

From the Millinery Trade Review.
White feIts are shown by most milliners
Those trimmed with white feathers are in
tended for special occasions, to accom-
pany elegant autumn costumes of white
cloth or serge. Others, however, trimmed
with dark colors, will be maintained on the
winter list, and will look very well when
ermine fur wraps are worn. Cigar and
mordore browns and deep yellow and
orange shades are the colors most appro-
pirate for the trimming of white felt.
