Inasmueh as the nursery Is one of
the most important rooms In the house
too much care cannot be expended on
its arrangement. AS the child's senses
are first educated and his tastes are
first cultivated In his nursery days
his surroundings should be considered
OF great Importance. A decoration Of
the walls should be given particular
attention, and nothing is more attrac-
tive or educational for the purpose
than photographs used as a frieze on
plain background, low enough for
the children to see them. The pictures
should, OF course, be selected with
thought and care from the masters
and the artists who have spent their
lives In perfecting their ability to paint

How to Make MIX of Roses and Rose
Complexion Cream.

charming as a bath accessory. Take
the petals of a dozen dried roses and
put them In bottle. Cover them with
water and let stand twenty-four hours.
Strain and add enough benzoin to make
the bottle very milky. Shake well and
add a few teaspoonfuls TO the bath.
This will give very soft, fragrant
bath.
To make a rose cream for the com
plexion is not a difficult matter, but
here one might as well use the per
fume Instead of the ripe roses. Take
Of pure oil Of sweet almonds as much
as will fill small coffee cup. To this
add lump Of white wax half the size
of an egg. Heat together and while 1t
Is heating stir In half teaspoonful of
powdered borax and about three drops
Of benzoin. Take of, beat with an egg
beaten and when 1t Is almost cool add
two drops of altar of rose or Its imtta
