Kitchen Work.

If you would preserve your dainti-
ness, which is an essential to beauty,
don't let yourself store away kitchen
fumes in clothing and hair. Don't
imagine that g sprinklng Of white rose
or violet water will hide the fumes.
Make point of having your kitchen
thoroughly ventilated during cooking
hours. Tie your hair in a handkerchief
if the fumes are strong. Try your best
to change your clothes the minute you
leave the kitchen. This is not an easy
matter to arrange, but so much the bet
ter If you can accomplish it. Give the
kitchen clothes and the hair frequent
airings Loosen the hair and hang it
out of the window.

COuches md Nerves.

Couches have saved more minds and
nervous systems than all the doctors
and medicines put together. 1t is the
best refuge that the overworked house
keeper has, did she but know it, and
the only fault have to find with wom-
en- is that as rule, they do not use
their couches half enough. When dis
tracted by the infinite cares Of the
household and worried over this bill
and that, she can throw herself down
and, stretched at ease, allow her trou-
bles to straighten themselves out Of
their own accord. BY these means hys-
terra Is avoided, beauty is preserved
and the women's chances for eternal
salvation are helped tremendously. -

Do You Keep u Scrnphooks

The very wideawake house mistress
has her Scrapbook, and If not scrap
book box Of assorted and labeled
envelopes, and if not assorted envel-
opes a patent index contrivance with
all the latest frills Of fashion in in
dexes. Book, envelope or patent in
dexer or any other scrap collector, it Is
all the same-she keeps the hints that
fall by the wayside and has them
ready to peep in upon when she needs
their good counsel.
Each house mistress has her own
best way Of collecting and arranging
scraps. She will not go amiss if she
makes her plan as simple as possible
without neglecting any department OF
the household, which has as many divi-
sions as a kingdom. Cuisine is one
grand division, which may be subdi-
vided, the classitications in good cook
book forming a trusty guide.
House decorating, house furnishing.
house cleaning, the care of beds, linens,
baths, servants, suggestions for enter
tanning, are other departments tn be
elaborated.
Some suggestions that she meets with
may be transient, relating TO prevail
ing mode or fad for this or that others
pertain to the eternal fitness of things,
and hence merit more honorable place
among the scraps.
1t is the part of prudence in the al
most trackless wilderness of sugges-
tons opened nowadays for the educa-
ton of the housekeeper to exercise the
best judgment with which she is en-
dowed in collecting the scraps that fit
with her individual circumstances

A -Candy Test.

The mother who purchases the candy

If only the tidgety, nervous women
