fle takes 1t upon itself to rise in its
mighty wrath and have nothing what
ever TO do with its former associates.
For evening wear this is, perhaps, the
prettiest and certainly it is the most
f1y-away- y-catch- -me-kind- Warm? Well,
not very, but it serves nicely to throw
about the shoulders between dances
and as a little something" when the
moonlight is more tempting than the
artificial light and we're only going
TO sit just this one dance out"
Pride, by the way, ought to keep
one warm, but now and then one sees
a very proud frock walking down the
street accompanied by a very red nose
and blue lips. and as a purplish laven-
der is not always becoming, 1t is per-
haps quite as well not to count too
much upon Miss Pride, for she is apt
to be a bad forerunner than anything
else.
Warmer wraps and pretty ones as
well are being fashioned out Of all
delicate colors of cashmeres and soft
silk and wool materials and for that
matter out of the two combined. For
instance. the thin fancy silks that look
10 heavier than chiffons are used as
the outer side and the same color lines
the cobweb and gives it an air Of prac-
ticability without robbing it Of its
daintiness.
And remember one thing. A shawl
is shawl just as long as 1t is left
alone in its sweet simplicity. but it be-
comes a wrap when it is fashioned
and cut to fit And as wraps are not
the rage, it behooves one to let the
scissors and thread strictly alone.
To be sure. some fabrics are wider
than others and some are woven ex-
pressly for this purpose, so that all one
has TO do is to decide whether it is to
be square so that it will fold V-shape
from corner to corner or whether it is
TO be an oblong strip that will cover
the head and shoulders comfortably
The regulation crocheted shawl is
only worn in the privacy Of ones
boudoir and even then not in the pres
ence of a chance guest, for while it is
unquestionably cozy ii is also unde-
niably homely and the girl of to-day
will have none of it.
Handsome lace in any form is al
ways fit and the girl who has an old
cream shawl that may be draped about
her shoulders is in clover. And scarfs
and mantillas. by the way. are being
converted into this popular throw"

be done to restore the form and relieve
this burden. but the treatment must be
persistent and regular. If the figure
is greatly enlarged at this point before
any method of reduction is resorted to,
Of course the Improvement will be
slow, but none the less sure if pre-
served in. Short exercise cannot
quickly undo the work Of months or
years. When one is too stout it is wise
to abstain from starchy, fat and sweet
food. A diet which will supply
strength rather than fat is an import
ant factor in combating such condi-
tions. Exercise is the next essential.
It from years, occupation or surround
ings long walks are not practicable, do
as much walking as possible and sup
plement with mechanical exercise to
assist in breaking down the fat cells
which have accumulated in the mus
cular tissues and which will be elimI-
mated through the circulation of the
blood. Unless afflicted with rheu-
matism 1 suggest the following exer-
else clad only in loose gown: Raise
the hands above the head, fingers to-

the waist until the finger tips touch
the floor, If possible without bending
the knees. Then raise the body slow

TO PREPARE A ROSE PILLOW
(Mrs. o. E.).-To prepare rose leaves
for a pillow gather the fresh petals
during the middle Of a clear day when
free from dew or rain All kinds OF
roses may be used and the blossoms
should be pulled apart and the petals
spread out thinly on sheets Of tissue
paper in any airy place away from the
direct rays OF the sun to dry. AS soon
as the petals begin to curl up and feel
dry to the touch they must be put in
a roomy bag OF thin cheese cloth to
prevent blowing about, in q cool. dry
room, where the air circulates freely.
Unless this part of the work is care
fully done the petals will have a dis
agreeable musty OdOr. Pillows filed
with dried flowers are generally more
or less spiced, according to individual
taste, but if you wish to retain the
true odor only it will be necessary to
add the perfume Of the fresh rose. lost
in the drying process, by q small
quantity of the best white rose sachet
powder or few drops Of altar OF roses

GOOSE Observation-Disclosures You
can get rid of the coarse rough flesh,
but it will take a little time and pa
tience. In the first place, buy a cam
els hair brush and scrub your arms
well with it every night. Then after
thoroughly drying your arms apply
the following lotion: Tincture of ben
zoin, fluid drachm; tincture of tolu,
20 drops; rose water, l pint. If your
arms are unusually thin try a gentle
massage and rub in some good skin
food. 1t may take about as long as
month for the goose flesh to disap-
pear and then I should advise the use
of another lotion to make the arms
white and pretty: Pure glycerin,
ounce; hydrochloric acid, specific
gravity lis, 1 imperial fluid drachm;
rose water, 2 fluid ounces; bichloride
of mercury (crystals) grains; dis
titled water. ounces; alcohol, 2
ounces. Dissolve the bichloride Of
mercury in the alcohol, then add the
other ingredients. Keep in a tightly
stoppered bottle away from the reach
of children. This is well known
