I'm the Boudoir

~ LEAN brushes are the only beauti-
q full brushes regardless of gold or
Ss silver or even Of jeweled backs.
The spare room in which it is the law
and the gospel to have both brushes
and combs made like new after each
departure is the only model room, no
matter how luxurious it may be in other
ways.
The secret Of washing brushes sue
cessfully is to dry them quickly. Have
ready two dishes, rather shallow, and
with enough surface to allow of hold
in which you have dissolved soap and
soda or ammonia, in one, and cold water
in the other. Immerse the pristles Of
the brushes in the boiling water, pass
ing them from one side to another
quickly and steadily without wetting
the backs any more than possible. They
will clear of dirt instantly, without
touching them with the hand or with
a smaller brush, which is what gets the
bristles out Of shape. Rinse in the cold
water and add few drops of lemon
juice to it if the brushes show any ten
dency of getting yellow. Dry them by
setting on a newspaper, bristles down,
over a radiator or register which is
not too hot, and let them become
thoroly dry before using. Ebony backed
| brushes should be rubbed with little
linseed oil and polished with soft
| cloth.

The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1905-12-24

Close cutting Of the brittle nails will
not help them for what the nails need is
nourishment; they are too dry. Before
retiring rub with sweet oil or vaseline
and loose kid gloves may be worn to
protect the bedclothes. Wear gloves
whenever possible in doing any rough
work and after washing the hands
always rub the nails with little vase
lene, wiping away the surplus. Polish
ing the nails is also good for them, when
they are brittle.

The Country Editor.

The worm viii turn. Sometimes it takes
the worm a long time to make up its mind
to do it. but sooner or later it does. Every
man who has served time as editor Of a
country newspaper has experienced the
trouble referred to in this little anecdote.
but not all Of them have had the courage
to resent it.
Let there be society function in the
little city and the local editor present,
some will approach him with smile and
say:
''Well, getting some news to put in
your paper?'
OF course they mean well, but they
seem never to realize that perhaps even a
country editor can lay aside his professional
duties long enough to go out in society and
meet his friends on a social basis
deacon Dobyns, one of the best
known country editors in Missouri, suffered
this sort of this for years, and although it
ranked in his bosom, he never let on, but
smiled in return and nodded assent. But
at last patience ceased to be a virtue Not
long ago he attended social affair in his
home town, going as an invited guest.
While mingling with his friends local gro
Ger greeted him with the remark
GOOD evening Deacon. Getting some
news for your paper -
Eyes, that what I N here for, re-
piled Deacon. by the way, Mr.. Sands,
are you here to drum up some trade for
your store ?
OF course the grocer got mad about it,
but Deacon only grinned and resumed
mingling with his friends.
