VaIue of the Sponge Bath.

Majorie: There is much confusion re-
garding the proper method of taking a
sponge bath and of the effects OF such
baths. Strictly speaking, a sponge bath
is performed without soap cold or tepid
water being used according to the needs
and vigor of the patient. AS detergent
the effects of the sponge bath are merely
superficial. consequently should never be

bath, as il can never take the place of the
latter. The main reason why some people
cannot endure a cold sponge bath is be-
cause they do not take IL correctly The
usual plan is to apply the water in dabs.

then quickly and only partially drying IL.

warm weather. II the shock of the cold

and after week gradually use cooler wa

the water may be used cold as il comes

spratory organs, promotes excretions and
secretions and tends TO equalize the cir
culation of the blood. To obtain beneficial
results the cold sponge bath must be rapidly
performed in moderately warm room and
be followed by very brisk rundown.

Dorothy: Successfully to entertain your
friends informally on Sunday. would sug-
gest that you provide something more sub
stantial than the conventional tea and wa
fers. These are all very well when ladies
only are present. but big. broad-shoul-
dered man never feels quite so close to a
sissy as he does when attempting to hold
a fragile bit of china and look unconcerned
and happy while nibbling a tiny wafer.
He may put up a splendid bluff and vow
serenely that he is having the time of his
life, depend upon it. deep down in his heart
he is longing for big cup of coffee and a
sandwich OF generous proportions and
doesn't care a rap whether il is the proper
thing at tea or not. So If you would
be popular hostess, provide something
which the men can enjoy. or the house will
know them more. The refresh ments
should not be of character to spoil a rel
ish for dinner Such dainty sandwiches as
chicken, cheese, minced ham, nuts and
whipped cream may be varied by the admix-
ture of finely chopped parsley or a crisp let
tuce leaf moistened with a rich mayon-
naise. Stuffed dates, sailed nuts, cake or
waters make tempting addition, and fra
grant tea and coffee served with rich cream
may complete the menu Have plenty of
everything in readiness, the Sandwiches
kept cool and moist until the last mo,Dumk
and the drinkables piping hot. The table
must be as dainty as fine china. glass, sill
yer and spotless linen can make IL, and
vase or bowl of cut flowers will add to its
attractiveness.

Washington Post
suppose there is nobody who doubts
that honesty is really the best policy. 1t
is only the abnormally clever who can af-
ford to be devious in their dealings, and
even then they occasionally commit the
objectionable sin of being found out 1t
is a story with a moral that l would be
telling and the heroine of 1t is woman
of extremely good family, who. for the
past season, has cut wide swath In So
c;ety | am convinced that some people
have discovered a way of splitting their
money in two and spending first one SIDE
and then the other, and that's what the
lady of the story does. or she COULDN'T
possibly make ends meet on her income.
though that's nobodys business, for we
ought all be so taken up with our own
ends. chief and latter and the kinds that
are so hard to make meet, that we had
not time to inquire into other peoples
affairs. People have entertained the lady,
and she has returned courtesies in kind
Toward the end OF the season, however,
the social account ceased to balance, and
she was. so to speak, in debts when she
asked nearly a dozen persons to theater
party. After the performance there was
to be supper at one or the hotels, and
everything was to be deliberately smart.
On the afternoon of the appointed day,
the invited guests received hastily written
notes from their hostess-to-be. She had
been called from New York by the death
of a dear aunt, and the party. of course,
was off. III her haste ana anxiety Sne
neglected to say that the theater tickets
would be waiting at the box office, but it
wasn't to be expected that she would re-
member to say that. under the circum-
stances, and everybody felt as sorry as
could be for her. Everybody kept on feel
ing sorry for several days, and everybody
wanted 10 know about the deceased aunt.
At length. one member of the party, which
was to rave been. met cousin of the
lady who was to have given it in market
and asked questions:
HAS Mrs. So-and-So returned from her
aunt's funeral YETI" she asked.
"Aunt's funerali' said the cousin. why,
my mothers the only aunt she ever had
and she's been dead ten years We aren't
on speaking terms but L guess I'd know
if anybody in the family was dead. You
must have misunderstood her.
And so, you see, the fat was in the fire.
The lady hadn't any more intention of
taking those people to the theater than
have of sprouting wings. 1t was merely
her way of squaring her social accounts
without expense TO herself. / imagine that
when she takes time TO think the matter
over she'll wish she had gone to her own
funeral instead of to her mythical aunts,
and if. after that story. anybody doubts
that honesty is the best policy, I'd like to
hear from him.

Mother: You need not feel alarmed II
the second teeth of the child come in irreg-
ularly. as. in the majority of cases. they
will become more even growth advances.
Sometimes this irregularity of growth is
due to too much crowding by teeth which
should be removed; a dentist would recog-
nize such cases and set the matter straight
The cuspid or eye teeth should be closely
watched to prevent the new teeth from
coming i'm above the normal position. In
some families this tendency seems to be
hereditary, but il can usually be averted by
prompt measures. Fully developed irreeu-
lar teeth can be Strengthened. but the pro-
cess is both tedious and painful. as the teeth
are loosened and then held in the new
position by some plastic substance until
firmly established. The time for this pro-
cess is from three 10 six weeks; according
to the location of the teeth and the number
thus replaced. This work should be t-rrust-
ed only to a skilled dentist. for in the lands
of one whose knowledge OF the operation

Golfer: The woman who is fond OF out
door sports must bestow a great deal OF
care upon her hands if she would retain the
dainty feminine softness so much admired.
The calloused spots on the hands are di-
rectly caused by the hand coming in con-
tact with the unyielding substances or by
hard rubbing. The friction caused by hold
ing golf stick, tennis racquet or coach
whip and reins is quite as detrimental to
the texture of the skin as any of the
homely household duties. Hands which are
n1anifestly disposed to calloused condi-
ton must be protected by heavy gloves at
all times when one is engaged in exercise
work which requires much muscular
exertion. A clever girl who disliked a bun
Cling glove hit upon the idea of selecting
easy fitting gloves of heavy kid and neatly
applying a lining of chamois skin across
the palm BY catching the edges into
the seams of the thumb. fingers and sides OF
the glove no ugly stitches were visible
in the kid. while the protection Of this soft
lining saved the hands from unsightly spots.
In addition TO this precaution the girl never
neglected a daily inspection and thorough
treatment of the palms to keep the rosy
color unmarried. After holding the hands in
rather warm water for ten minutes, TO
soften the skin. any suspicious yellow spots
are rubbed with pumice stone, just enough
TO wear down the thickened skin. Then
a good emollient is rubbed into the spots
and then over the entire palm. The re-
suit is delightfully."- soft hands
