HOW TO WIN A HUSBAND.

Woman's sphere in this 2otl century 10
not limited any more than is mans. She
can occupy almost any business position
or profession, and yet the popular view of
womanhood is that she best fits the posi-

household. Every girl should know her

womanhood.
Cupid has no place in a girls heart If
she is nervous and irritable, feels dragged
down, worn out for no reason that she can
think of. The weak back, dizzy spells and
black circles about the eyes are only symp-

correct the irregularity. Stop the drains

symptoms will disappear. This can be

TRIMMING THE TREE.
How to Decorate One in a Novel Fashion at
Small Cost

SiItoh SoSt-
Less than -, properly expended,
will decorate the Christmas tree beau
tifully in a novel fashion and give no
end of pleasure, says the Pittsburg
Press.
The chief thing to consider is the
color and effect. The materials en-
ployed are really secondary. There
will, of course, be cobwebby mass OF
loose silver tinsel coiled in and out
and over the tree in bewildering laby-
riuth, and strings of popcorn, holly
berries and cranberries. Tradition de-
mands their use in connection with
the novel ornaments.
Small and inexpensive souvenirs of
Japanese lanterns and opened parasols
will give unique touch of oriental
color to the Christmas tree. From
every available tip.tiny bells, hearts,
stars, guitars, banjos and paper macte
animals, such as rabbits, donkeys and
reindeers, should be suspended.
If desired, the animals may be of
cake, as molds are made especially for
this purpose. The stars and hearts
may be cut from bristol board and
given a coat of glue, then dipped in
mica or metallic flock.
Small red and green apples may be
used to good advantage for decorative
purposes by sticking them with tiny
Grape paper flags. They should be
suspended from the ooughs by braids
Of red, white and blue paper.
Walnuts, hickorynuts, peanuts, pine
cones, etc., will help the decorative
scheme also if they are gilded. The
best thing to accomplish this result is
smalt, which is kept by paint dealers
and comes in gold and silver and all
the metallic shads. First, dissolve .
cake of glue in boiling water, place a
tack in the end of the nut or object to
be immersed, dip in the liquid glue,
roll in the smalt and dry. Later, when
ready to suspend from the tree, attach
bright red ribbon to the gilded tack
and hang in some of the places that
look bare.
Another novelty which will please
the children is to take the shells OF
tue walnut, split so they will be in.
tact, remove the meats, gild or silver
the empty shells, then place q tiny
doll, candy or motto inside and tie
with bright colored baby ribbon.
1t is almost impossible to have toe
many objects for trimmings, as the
tree is like q yawning chasm-hard to
fill. Little Cinnamon dangling by
their cues and Japanese lads and las
sizes peering furtively out from among
green boughs will create a great deal
OF amusement for the occidental boy,
and girls whose eyes are eagerly fixed
on the tree. Milkmaids, Jack Hor'
ners, brownies, gnomes and fairies will
also be an attraction, and they may
serve as bonbon receptacles as we'll.

Drink a glass of water when you

mind the size of the glass. Let the
water be cold if you will. Some people
prescribe hot water, but that isn't
necessary. You may have washed
your face already and relished the
experience. You may have taken a
cold plunge into the tub and delighted
in the shock and its reaction. The
brisk use OF the toothbrush has left
your mouth clean aud the breath

All that is luxurious in the cold bath

That which should prompt the glass

water that he may escape it by drink

Sleep has drawn upon the water 10

continues internationally in other
places. Yet there is great difference
between Rosa Bonheur and Jane Dieu-
lafoy. Rosa Bonheur, in adopting
mans dress, tried to ape his ways also,
whereas Jane Dieulafoy is above all
things proud of being woman.
The discovery of the Palace and Ne
cropolis of ArtaXerxes at Susa, de-

the Researches at Susa," was the
crowning event of Jane Dieulafoy's life,
and brought her to world wide fame.
But she has successfully. undertaken a
number of other researches less inter-
esting, among which was her investi-
cation to find the origin of the Oriental
arts. Nine. Dieulafoy's own studies
had convinced her that Oriental art
had not sprung from Arabia, as was
generally supposed. She devoted fif-
teen years to solving this problem, ex
aiming every trace of Oriental art and
architecture in Spain, in Algeria, in
Morocco, In Egypt, and thence further
East tracing its course step by step.
Finally, on the site of Babylon, she
found the origin which she had been
seeking, and, turning back, followed its
path as it had advanced round the
shores of the~ Mediterranean, passed
through lower Egypt. Morocco and Al
geria, then crossing the Straits of Gil
braltar, and reaching its last expression
at Granada. Never before had this
course been traced; and only since
