VALUABLE TOILET SECRET.
Cucumber Evolves 4 Natural and
Harmless Arsenic That Beaches
All Compilations. -

Few women appreciate what remc-
dial agent the cucumber Is in connec-
ton with the toilet and that it ex-
erts most wholesome effect on the
skin.
A cucumber cream, which is eff1ca-
c1ous for sunburn, for rough or dry
skin, or to remove tan, can be pre-
pared most daintily at home, and now
during the season of this vegetable is
the time that it should be done.
For it the following ingredients are
necessary:
Cucumber juice .......................1 OF.

WHlte "ax'.'.... ......'........"...... ~ w.
To p1erare the cucumbers, says the
Chicago Journal, cut and chop them
fine. Then pound to paste, using 4
mortar, or, in lieu of that, potato
masher in granite vessel. When
thoroughly crushed put into a jelly bag
and extract the juice in the same man-
ner as for jelly. Then add the white
wax and spermaceti, melted, and last
ly, the almond oil, stirring until cool.
To whiten the skin and give it elias

Perhaps the most difficult part of
this operation is preparing the al
monds. First bleach them by pour
ing boiling water on them. Then
pound to paste; add the cucumber
juice, alcohol, oil and cream. Strain
through cloth and perfume.
1t is good to put ON at night or to
cleanse the face during the day after
a shopping tour or day spent in the
dust and CRIME of the city.
To obtain the Juice of cucumbers
boil them in a little water. Slice very
thin and cook, skin and all, until thor
oughly soft. They should be strained
twice, first through q cloth, afterward
a sieve. To obtain the essence add an
amount Of alcohol equal to that of the
cucumber juice.
Large pores in the face are the bane
of some women, and to secure fine
grained skin the fair creatures will re-
sort to any expedient almost. One of
the best remedies for this condition is
a delightfully."- refreshing connection in
which cucumbers play a prominent

How to Make Swinging Shelf Which

With the approach of fall many of
our women folk are thinking of the
flowers and plants to be brought into
the house for winter. 1t is often diff
cult to care for these treasures with the
little window space on the sunny side of
the house. A very convenient and clever
device for potted plants is shown in the
cut reproduced herewith.
This rack is so constructed and hung
that it will swing away from the win
