A Cream for General Use.

E. B. D.-After exposure TO the hot sun
you will find cream of almonds most bene
fetal. it will not only soothe the irrita-
ton but impart a delightful softness to the
parched skin. You may purchase the pre-
pared cream at any first-class dealer in
toilet articles, or. if desired, you can make
it yourself. 1 give an excellent receipt
which, if carefully followed will give
very dainty compound. When preparing the
cream use new vessels of agate tin in
which TO melt the wax, as a dish used for
other purposes is apt TO impart a taint 10
the delicate ingredients. Take one ounce
each of white wax and spermaceti, five
ounces of oil Of almonds and two ounces OF
rose water. Cut the wax and spermace in
small pieces, place in a small agate pan
set in another vessel filed with boiling
water and when the ingredients are melted
beat in the oil of almonds and lastly the
rose water, beating constantly Isntil all are
thoroughly Incorporated and the whole
forms a creamy white mass. Pour into a

self on knowing how TO keep her rugs fresh
for years never shakes them, but keeps
them clean by spreading out on a porch
floor and sweeping them thoroughly on
both sides with a soft broom. Then she
goes over them several times with a carpet
sweeper. which is kept free from dust by
emptying the dust traps frequently Any
rugs which have seen hard wear and are

Improving Red Arms.

NJ B. Pred arms are certainly very
mortifying when exposed beneath a dainty
summer gown. and / do not wonder that
you are distressed, but if you will faith
fully follow the directions here given for
few weeks am sure you can improve their
condition. Bathing is of paramount i'm
portance. Next in order is a pure cream
which will soften the rough skin and a
whitening astringent lotion TO reduce the
color and close the coarse pores. Do not
make the mistake of thinking that the
creams and the whitening lotion will do the
work entirely, for at the bottom of the sue
cess is absolute cleanliness and the man.
ipulations which relieve the skin of waste
matter; the local applications are merely
aids in the work. Three warm tub baths
each week are sufficient, but each night be-
fore retiring battle the arms with hot water
and rub on a thick lather always using
bland, pure soap. especially on the back
rough and coarse. After rubbing briskly for
five minutes wash off the lather. using plen-
ty of hot water, and rinse the arms with
cold water, drying with a rather rough
towel, rubbing well TO assist in removing
the dead cuticle. Massage the arms with a
firm pressure TO excite the circulation and
give tone and frmness to the skin and
underlying tissues and at the same time
apply a small quantity Of cocoa butter or
reliable prepared cream. AS your arms are
fieshy enough l advise the use of the least
quantity of cream that will keep the skin
soft. To whiten the arms. and also as an
astringent, prepare this lotion: Take four
ounces of orange flower water, one ounce
simple tincture of benZoin one ounce tine
ture of camphor. two ounces witch hazel.
Mix the benzoin and orange flower water,
shake well, let stand for two hours and
strain through very fine muslin. then add
the other ingredients. Battle the arms free

with cold water and rubbing briskly with

For the commencement Gown.

Mrs. B. M.-The ever-present problem of
making gowns for the growing girl is usu-
ally aggravated when commencement. day
comes around. but the work will be easier
this year than formerly because of the
many dainty fabrics from which to select.
Simplicity should be the keynote of the en-
tire outfit, for, although the girl is parting
with girlhood. in a sense, and will soon
step out to take up the duties of a broader
life, do not be in haste TO part with the
fresh, girlish simplicity, ii is too charming.
Let the maiden enjoy the pleasure OF being
daintly clad for this all-important occa-
sion, but let the beauty of the gown depend
upon fine fabrics perfectly cut and finished
and not on lavish display. Silks and costly
laces should be reserved for the time when
the girl is formally introduced to society,
and even then there are strict limits wnlch
must not be overStepped In the cOmlng-Out
gown. Fine Persian lawn trimmed with
valenciennes lace makes an ideal gown,
dainty and, withal, very practical, as IT
will serve as party dress all summer ana
may be changed a number of times by the
use of different ribbons and colored under
slips: besides, its laundering qualities are
unsurpassed. Batiste is one of the softest
and SmarteSt fabrics and may be trimmed
with lace or exquisite embroidery TO match.
Then there are the still more diaphanous
fabrics such as silk mull mousseline, point

Boston Journal.
The spring months have come and gone,
yet the wind. which erstwhile was the pc
cuiiar property of March. is still with US.
Large hats are coming into greater use as
the sun shines brighter and the evil days
are coming when women take no pleasure
in these same large hats. by reason of the
difficulty sustained in keeping them on
their heads, the wind careering wildly and
with evident delight under the upturned
brims, necessitating the continual holding
On of the hat by the right left hand in
the open cars which are appearing one by
one.
Now when a woman does her hair high,
1t is an easy matter 10 keep the hat on by
means of an extra long hatpin. which may
be inserted from the back TO the front of
the hat. or vice versa and with one small
er one placed on either side of the band
which secures the hat 10 her head.
When. however. she coils her hair low on
her head. the difficulty becomes greater and
because Of the comparatively small amount
OF hair the top of the head IL is not
quite so easy TO keep the hat on by pins
alone.
This is where the old-fashoned method of
using an elastic comes in. 1t will not play
havoc with a good straw, as hatpins are
bound TO Go in time. and by its help the
fear OF wind. blow il ever so madly.
The elastic may be narrow and incon-
sp1cuous. and the old plan OF using a
double piece on one side TO serve as loop
and a double piece. through which the
shank of a large boot button has been
slipped at the other side. is the more COM
Portable way. although two loops secured
by two hairpins might be used with good
results
Elastic has another good thing in its
favor. that Of keeping the side locks
from becoming too sportive.
Those who adhere to the pompadour and
wear a pompadour comb TO secure the
necessary height will find that a strong
steel harpin may be put through the
bandeau. under the pompadour frame, and
bent that the lady and the hat cannot
part company.

to have several. since no two need be at all
alike Much white is seen in these weaves.
but white is not to rank so high this sum-
mer as it did a year ago. so it should not
be taken up to the exclusion OF something
, newer. The open weaves, especially, seem
to have lost their favor, though the ex-
quisitely fine sorts in white never will pass
out. Sorts with fancy borders and striped
and checked weaves are new this season.
and many of these goods are to be had at
lower prices than new materials usually

the kindred weaves etamine and yelling
are a bit neglected. But they are present
in almost the same variety and about as
much may be said in their favor. Veilings
are remarkable for that clinging beauty
that now is in demand and are being en-
ployed for evening gowns, afternoon dresses
and for tailor-mades. In each grade the
material will seem just the thing If only
judgment is exercised in selecting the right
quality and shade for each especial pur-
pose. Veiings in white or the evening
shades but a little off white are made up
