How This Fruit May BE Used For

1t is now timely TO administer to all
women a little sermon on the value of

always soak them for at least five min
utes in a basin of water in which are
few drops Of lemon juice. The skin
which grows SO extensively around the
nails is pushed back by orange wood
sticks first dipped in lemon juice. And
as for the teeth. no more effective
cleanser or purer mouth wash can be
found than half a dozen drops of lemon
juice in ii wineglass of water.
After washing the hands lemon juice
and water make splendid bleach, but
It is fact that lemon juice pure

mistake Of rubbing In plain lemon

NeM Linen Fabrics.

The beauty and originality of the
new linen and cotton fabrics for the
coming spring are something to excite
enthusiasm. Unquestionably the ia
vorites will be the cotton and silk COM
binations, many Of which are unsur-
passed in silks.
OF these the airy material called silk
tissue and the embroidered mulls are
especially lovely. \ pale blue null
embroidered with tiny crescents is
charming.
An exquisite fabric is printed and
bordered French null This is wide
enough for a long skirt, and the bor-
der, Of course, forms the trimming
around the hem. An example has a
white ground covered with loose vio-
lets. pinkish mauve in color, the bor-
der, twelve inches wide, showing deep
er tones Of violet and mauve.
These bordered mulls, eight yards of
which make a generous dress pattern,
come in two qualities.
Bordered linens are also shown.
Gowns made from them have that ap-
pearance Of eXclusiveness which be
longs to dress patterns or robes.

Like Canary.
Singing mice are rare, but a CORE
spondent writes from Yorkshire asking
whether we can give him any informa-
ton about a specimen he captured.
He adds, 1T has been warbling just
like canary for the last month in our
workshop. and although l have it in a
cage it still continues to sing
That mice do occasionally sing is
undeniabIc. Some observers say that
more delicate than that of the canary,
which one can believe quite easily.
Others go so far as to compare it to
that of warbler or even piping bull
finch. But the question as to why they
lift up their voices in this tuneful man
ner still remains TO be answered.
Three explanations have been sug-
gested:
First-That all mice are potential vo-
calists and can learn to sing, by imita-
ton. from singing birds.
Second That many mice possess an
exceptional talent for mimicry, together
with keen sense of the ludicrous.
Third.-That some mice are subject
to bronchitis and that the so called
song" is only the wheeling Of rodents
which suffer from the distressing COM
plant.
