Rejane, in one OF her plays, wears
a stunning costume which is q cross

is double-breasted, with close sleeves
and wide revers, high collar and square

sweep. Just the thing for a visiting

HINTS FOR DREssMAKERs.
Nine. Baker Says That the Princess
and the Godet Skirt Will Be
All the Rage.

Whatever happens there are two
styles that may be counted upon this
season. One is the princess and the
other the godet skirt for walking. This.
with good many cores extending to
form sort OF peasant waist, is the
craze Of the moment in Paris and is
called "the cowboy walking skirt" 1t
must be very full at the foot to set out
in ripples. A narrow strip of hair
cloth in the hem and a petticoat made
with the lily founce will give the set
out look required, q little above the
ankle. This will be worn with any
kind Of waist or blouse.
Plated skirts have been so thorough
ly overdone, and turned out by SO
many thousands of dozens, at from
$1.98 up, that they will not be worn as
much as the plain gored skirts For
the house it is ont of the question to
have short skirt; they are too bobby

DO YOUR OWN MANIcuRJNc.
There's No Reason Why Any Girl
Should Have Hands That Look
Coarse and Rough.

This Is the season Of the year when Il
Is more than ever difficult to keep ones
nails in order. Living out of doors, prac-
ttcing many sports work havoc to the
hands, unless q girl is careful. To go
regularly to q manicure is expensive,
but with little time and by simple means
1t is possible to do much toward improy-
Ing the nails.
The skin at the base Is inclined to
grow over them, but that can be easily
prevented. Fill basin with nice hot,
soapy water, and soak your hands in
this for at least ten minutes. BY that
time the skin will be soft, and with q
blunt stick Of orange wood (obtainable
at any druggist's) can be pressed gently
back into its proper position, 60 that
the pretty half moons at the base OF the
nail can be seen in all their glory.
But remember that too great pressure
or ungentle treatment Of any kind will
probably result In crop Of those little
white spots that are 80 dishguring.
After pressing back the skin and thor
oughly drying the hands, take half 4
lemon and keep digging your fingers
into this until the nails are saturated
with the juice. There is nothing like it
for improving and identifying them.
Wipe OF the lemon with a soft rag.
roll q corner Of your towel up into q
hard pad, and with this give the nails
brisk rub to restore the polish.
This treatment once a week and q
careful pushing back of the skin every
time the hands are washed will soon
bring about marvellous improvement
in the appearance Of the nails. To pol
ish, rub briskly on the palm of the other

In August and September the rocks
abound with great patches of rasp-
berries, blackberries, dewberries and
biueberries, while the autumn season
brings with it such vast quantities of
cranEerries as no cultivated marshes
have ever known. Around three sides
OF Mud lake are marshes that are fair
y burdened with cranberries, the lus-
cious red fruit in its setting of Pc
culiar green leaves being worthy the
crush OF a master painter. And
through these marshes the deer run
ways lead to the water. Here the ami
mails find both food and drink, and to
them also come the sportsmen to add
death to the list. How often have I
sat in q canoe in the small coves,
screened behind the dense tangles of
hlushwood, and watched the majestic
animals come down to drink. How
often have / seen them swim from
mainland to island and back again.
Moore told me when in the woods
this summer that not less than $500
deer had fallen victims Of the wolves
last winter when the snow was so
deep that they could not escape the
ravages Of the pirates Of the forests.

THE USE OF FACE POWDERS
They Contain Harmful as Well as
Harmless Substances to
Sons Skins.

Ipropose to say a few words on the in
fluence Of powders in the making and in
the marring Of the complexion. AS a
matter of fact, owing to the manner in
which these cosmetics are abused, the
general tendency Is to mar rather than
to make, although the immediate effect
may be both satisfactory and pleasing.
The great mistake that is generally made
is that these so-called aids to beauty are
used Unfortunately and irrespectively
Of the tdiosyncrasies and peculiarities of
the skin to which they are applied.
1t must be remembered that the basis Of
the great majority of powders is stafch-
q substance which in itself is harmless.
It has. however, drying properties, and
therefore should not be used thoughtless-
~ when the skin Is naturally dry, And,
further than this, it should not be forgot
ten that starch is not soluble In either
hot or cold water, and, therefore, can
not be removed from the pores and in
terstices Of the skin by the ordinary
methods of washing. In fact, it not in
frequently happens that, owing to this
difficulty in removing it after it has once
been applied, certain of the pores of the
skin become blocked and ultimately re-
suit in blackheads or even in boils. The
most common addition to the powders
of which the basis is starch, is borax or
boracic acid. These substances, again,
are comparatively harmless, are solu-
BILE in water, and act as mild antiseptics,
but, like starch, they also have drying
properties, and hence should not be lay
tshly used unless the skin is naturally
moist. For greasy skins they are par
ticularly useful.
Among the more harmful substances
which are added to these powders are
zinc oxide and certain preparations of
bismuth. These salts, though particu-
arly soothing to irritated skins, have dis
which it is worth while to re-
member. Both Of them, when applied
to greasy skins, are apt to turn a some
what greyish blue hue which presents the
CHASTITY appearance with which we are so
familiar in the case Of skins which have
been enamelled for considerable period
of time.

Perhaps one of the newest ideas in

Jesus disciples. One may not possess
the gold and silver of splendid train
ing and abilities; one may not be the
gold or the silver that graces and beauti-
fies the conspicuous places, and that
fills the most prominent and impor-
tant positions. One may be only the
despised and unnoticed vessel of wood
or of earth, and still be so clean and
sanctiffed that the Master as He
searches the shelves for vessels fit for
His use will gladly take him and use
him. As the Master passes to and fro
through His house, think of what may
meet His gaze. Shelves full of ves-
sells; enough for all the worldwide
purposes of God. The church is not
weak because of lack of numbers.
With the forces now marching under the
banner of the cross, Jesus could speedi-
1y win the world to Himself If those
forces were obedient to His will and re-
sponsive to His mighty power. As the
Master passes through His househe sees
plenty of vessels. He finds there the
gold and the silver ones. How He longs
to use them. How much more could
be accomplished with them than with
the commoner vessels. How much the
world needs them. With eager hand He
reaches out and takes the gold and sill

He has work for it to do. He looks
within. All! what is it that meets His
gaze? It is unclean. It is unfit for
use. Sadly He replaces this splendid
vessel and takes another to examine
So over the shelves He goes. The shad-

disappointment in His heart grow
more intense, until at last with glad
cry way up on the top shelf out Of

discovers the common vessel of clay
