HER HUNTING OUTFIT

tough pull through underbrush; II the
hushed sound of her canoe paddle at star
light and the long tragic call of the moose
make her heart beat. then she hunts when
ever she can and the discomforts are trifies
at the time and forgotten at once.
Women are seldom wanton hunters.
There are many women hunters, who. il
they suddenly face deer or elk or moose,
80 that it is possible to look into the
frightened, beseeching eyes, give up the
hunt. It's simply impossible for women,
at least, to shoot that expression.
The New York girl gave up beautiful
deer in Canada last fall because it circled
in the woods and came out into an opening
face to face with her. And shooting at
night when the deer come peacefully down
to drink is also too heavy nerve strain for
her.
But to the hunt. To prepare for 1t the
New York girl not only dresses with charm
ing good sense. but she uses her intelli-
genoe all along the line OF getting ready for
the expedition. She selects her own rifle

But there are ways and ways Of wash
ing the hands. and particularly in the
winter time.
Take warm water, and let it be soft. Add
a tcaspoonful of borax powder to the water
TO soften it still more. Now take good
soap and wash your hands we'll
Let out the water. and let pure warm
water into the bowl. Rinse the hands.
Repeat this. Use three or four changes
of water.
When the hands are perfectly free from
soap dry them until they are quite dry;
Now rub a little skin food into them. And
do not go out for at least is minutes after
the worst hands soft and white.
Mems hands do not chap in winter for
the reason that they wear gloves. Their
hands are not subjected to the extremes
CT heat and cold.
Men wash their hands often and then
put on thick gloves. This keeps them
very white. Women wear thin gloves
and chill the hands.
Women who bite the finger nails can
find remedy by keeping them polished,
brittle to the teeth. and there is not the
temptation to bite them Women will not
bite highly manicured nails
1t is said that the high polish Is going
pinker and more youthful than dull nails.
And there is sonnet hing very attractive
about the gloss, a cert ain dainty finish
which cannot be obtained in any other
manner.
Polishing tho nails with the palm OF
the hand gives good results. Put little
of the powder in one palm, rub the nails
vigorously and then shaking the powder
out of your hand polish them. This gives
deeper, pinker flush than the polisher,
it is said
Men have grown very careful Of their
hands and manicures have more men than
women to treat. The best Of manicures,
these days, provide paste for putting
into gloves al night, and the woman with
poor hands or the man with rough hands
Is taught how to bring them back TO a state
of perfection.

time you wash your hands, the moons

There are moons so deeply imhedded In
flesh that no amount OF towelling would
ever bring them forth.
For such nails there must be daily lift
ing of the flesh with the orange wood stick
and daily pushing OF 1t back. In time
The beauty OF the nails depends upon
three things: First, the moons, second,
some nails. beautifully polished, with
moon shaped curve at the base, are as
pretty as they could possibly be.
Nails should be allowed to grow as long
as possible. They can hardly be too long,
provided, Of course, that they do not pro-
ject beyond the finger tips.
The nails can be cut in different ways,
They can be pointed, rounded or blunt.
The way In which they are cut depends a
good deal upon the shape Of the finger
tips:
cut to match the shape of the fingers. The
nails should follow the curve Of the end
of the finger. No other shape is half 30
pretty.
There is vogue for pointing the nails.
The fashion is sometimes attractive, but
the finger itself should be tapering, with
a very delicate tip. Don't wear pointed
nails II your fingers are square.
And the nail should be cut to rather
blunt point, not sharp one.
The blunt nail Is the nail OF the business
woman. 1t must be kept highly polished
and the moons must be clear and plainly
visible. The blunt nail must be gone over
daily with the emory board to shape it.,
The business woman herself will find 1t
very much to her interest to attend to this
matter. 1t will add to her attractiveness
IL she will bleach the backs OF her hands
and keep them as white as possible, with
the nails pink,
Business people, however busy. have
time to notice the hands. The woman
who does not care for her finger tips is

hands are POLITICALLY dainty.

NO CHURCH FAIRS FOR HIM.
The Rev. MIR. COnman Objects to AL Such
Ways OF Raising Money.

WuKEsBABRE, Pa, Oct. 29.-The Rev.
Wilmer Evans Coffman of the Dorranceton
Methodist Church, who says he was ousted
from the church by Presiding Elder Muir
dock because of his vigorous opposition
to raising money by church suppers, en-
tertainments, festivals, DO, will continue
to advocate his beliefs whenever he has
the opportunity, because he is eincere In
them. He explained at length the plan
which he thinks is the right one for raising
money for church work
sIn the first place" he said, -the church
should be governed by the following rules:
THE church shall be supported by volun-
tary contributions
NO one shall, because OF an inability to
contribute, be excluded from any church
gathering.
The Christian life shall be the prominent
osI Th he e pTessnos and help Of the Holy Spirit
shall be publicly supplicated at each SER
aThese simple rules will add materially
In increasing the spiritual welfare Of the
community.
There should be one treasury. The
money for all church work should be ar
ranged by appropriation by an official
board. There should be one Offering
weekly, and that alone should be all that
is expected from member or friend Of
the church.
Special subscriptions should not be asked
for particular causes, but the congregation
should be informed OF all enterprises, and
the Official board should determine what
appropriations should be made.
aThe tithelng principle should be so ap-
Piled that all dthes should be brought into
the church at regular intervals, and should
be spent by the church and not by
individuals, A certain portion OF each
mans income Is needed by the church. but
It should be distributed by an organized
body formed for that purpose.
This would allow the numero people
now connected with church work in raising
money to devote their time toward their
spiritual Improvement and tho spiritual
Improvement of the con munity.
sToo much time Is spent and too many
persons are now engaged in raising money
Tor the churches and taking caro- OF 1t.

shotgun Of some pet construction for
wing game.
Her heaviest rifle does not weigh over six
pounds, and for long days tramping on
an uncertain trail she prefers weight Of
not more than five and quarter pounds
4 1903 rifle of this lighter weight she can
buy for from $40 to $40, according to the
gun metal finish, which is so reasonable that
she hasn't the oldtime hunters worry over
any injury to fowling piece,
She takes the best of care of her rifles
and shotguns She can clean them her
not only for safety and convenience, but
also because as any sportsman knows, she
is bound to develop certain affection for
much used piece.
On one rife, bit fancy and an early
purchase, she has a pistol grip and hu-
initiating as she now feels it to be. her name
engraved ON the stock. This she usually
takes along to lend or just to fill out her
assortment, or TO lose it. But nothing
will ever happen to it; nothing ever does

or useless frearm.
Her newest purchase this fall Is a light

cartridges and is more valuable for shoot

II YOU cannot get this. use the pure vase
line. Melt a whole bottle Of 1t, and add
ten crops Of the oil of rose geranium.
1t will keep forever and will be pleasant
to use.
For the backs OF the hands use cocoa
butter. Or, il you prefer, take half an ounce
of cold cream and melt it in a double boiler.
Add half an ounce of the oil Of sweet almonds
and piece Of mutton tallow as big as half
an egg. Melt together and beat as 1t is
cooling. Rub at night into the backs OF
the hands and the fingers.
Nails that are very bad should be touched
with pumice stone. Take a little very
finely powdered pumice and rub it on the
polisher. Go across the nails once or twice
briskly. Now polish them with PINK
powder.
To make the nails pink 1t is only neces-
sary to make them transparent. All nails
would be pink II they were allowed to be 80.
Bleach the nails. rub them with powder
until they shine, and they will be pink
right down to the very tips.
For shaping the nails emery boards
are best Take the emery board in your
fingers and run it around the outline of
the nails. Shape them as prettily as you
can and then let them alone.
Do not keep using the emery board and
do not keep clipping the nails. Constant
shipping Of the nails with curved scissors
is responsible for many misshapen hand.
When hunting a manicure, be sure that
you secure one who knows her business.
They are many manicures in the business,
but very few that understand the anatomy
of the hand.
In the grip Of bad manicure the nails
will be ruined. White spots will appear
at the base and the hands will look as though
they had been battered with club.
A good manicure will work very gently.
She will soak the nails until they are soft,
and then she will very gently push back
the flesh from the base. The slightest
pressure at this time will cause the nails
to show scars.
The white spots which come are scars.
They are caused by too great pressure Of
the orange wood stick.
A metallic instrument is even worse.

TO KEEP THE HANDS YOUNG.
USUALLY THEY BEGIN EARLY
IN LIFE TO SHOW AGE.
A Little Care VIII Prevent That-Nighuy
Treatment OF the Hands-Why Men
Have Better Hands Than women
-The Business NOman's Hands.

The man who wrote poem to his mis-
sress's eyebrow did pretty thing. But he
sho indites a pce.n to her hands does
prettier thing.
You Judge a woman's refinement, not
by her face not by her gown, not by her
manners, but by her hands. Women with
badly kept handsmake many excuses for
them; but as a matter of fact all persons
can have nice hands This sweeping as
sertion applies to men as well as women.
In these days of manicures, the lazy per-
son has no excuse for disfigured hands,
for the manicure will take your hands
daily and put them through a course OF
eprouts until they look nice. She will
bleach them, soak them, whiten the nails,
pink them, and finally curve them and
polish them. And she will 80 train them
that they will retain their youth and their
beauty after middle age.
The hands are peculiar in that they begin
TO show age very early in life. The hands
OF a woman OF thirty are thinner than the
bands OF girl.
The veins begin TO come up on the backs
OF the hands. The fingers grow knotty
and out OF shape At forty the nails begin
to split, and at fifty the hands bear very
little resemblance to the same members at
twenty-five. -.
TO keep the hands from growing old
should be the first study Of the woman Of
refinement. She should learn how to keep
the hesh from falling of the hands. how
- keep the veins from showing and how
81 prevent the nails from splitting, II
shdwil do this she will have gained quite
. point In the battle Of beauty.
The nails Of person Of thirty and up
ward should be rubbed every night with a
little good NAH emollient.
Take a bottle OF white vaselne and melt
enough Of 1t TO fill tablespoon. Put 1t
in deep bottle. Heat it, and while it is
hot stir In o hump OF spermaceti as big az
haf walnut Add six drops OF good
perfume and set away to cool. Rub this
into the nails every night.
