Today
Woman is turning her attention to every
detail of her appearance in order that she
may measure up to the standard of the
! modern idea Of the woman beautiful Every
woman should before beginning any work
take an inventory of herself and find out
just where she is lacking and where she ex-
| cells. When she has become acquainted with
herself and has learned to acknowledge her
faults she should then proceed with the
hrm intention of improvement, and she may
| then be absolutely certain of reward.
Speaking of the care woman should give
herself. Helene C. Crosby of New York
says: Il believe that every woman should
use everything she needs to keep herself
looking her best The complexion and the
hair are important. but the body must not
be neglected. The old-fashioned idea of
dressing that our grandmothers had is not
applicable to the modern woman. For in
stance, flannels are not being worn as they
used to be years ago, and it is right that
they should not be. 1t is unhealthy to cover
up the pores. There are two or three mil
lions of pores in the human body, and it
should be covered with as little clothing as
possible Women are dressing in the house
during the winter time much as they do in
summer on the street now The idea is TO
bring out the natural lines of the figure
and not one woman in 800 is at all well in
formed in regard to the corset that will
brlnS out the pest lines of her figure and
conceal her imperfections. The day for
steel armor plates in corsetry AS passed
and the woman who would make the most
of herself will don corset that is cut ac-
cordng to the lines of the human body
She will not choose one that has heavy
steel pressing across the back on the nerves
and one that draws the organs back and out
of place"
Indeed, the corset question is import
ant question for woman to consider.
Had we been trained for a natural figure
without any corset the American woman
would certainly have developed a fine H.
corseted figure, but it should have been be-
gun in the days of our grandmothers. and
that not done the next best thing
is to choose the best corset to be had Too
many give all their attention to the gowns
they wear and too little to what goes I'M
der them. The woman who keeps her COM
pleXion fresh and attractive, her hair well
groomed and her figure well corseted will
look better on a small expenditure than
the one who can order gowns and hats
galore but will not take proper care of
herself
Hats, shoes, gown and gloves TO match
add many inches to the figure. Perfect
features are necessary, but smart, trim,
well-groomed appearance is essential.

the same linen. In this shape It can be
wrung or twisted without danger. or can be
lightly pounded that the dry linen may the
more quickly absorb the moisture. In this
condition it should be left until the silks
are dry.
Lay the piece face down upon ironing
board well covered with several pieces of
material. Spread-a clean white cloth over
the embroidery and iron lightly the whole
surface, being careful not to press too heav-
lily upon the embroidered portions hot

wet will produce steam that will injure

work rapidly. Should the center have be-
come too dry use a dampened cloth to run
the iron over as this method will leave
the linen sufficiently damp for pressing. 1t
also leaves the linen fresh and holds the
natural stiffness of same. Damp linen. dry
silks, heat In iron. and quick movement
are the elements necessary to success.

What is It


That permits woman, who in most re-
spects Is sensible, to have and to hold such
strange and glarngly faulty ideas about
the way to become beautiful? There Is no
face that is really improved by three or
four dustings of powder and a spread of
paint. No eyes are really enhanced by an
over-application of charcoal. Yet lovely
women will subject their faces to this treat
ment and bravely appear before public
gaze. Is it vanity? Deliver us. Is it ig-
| norance? Have mercy. 1t must be due to
the fact that they do not get the right re-
Elections of themselves. Possibly the theory
Is followed that if a little is good, more Is
better, and most is enticing. And so In
many instances faces that, no doubt, IL
given a chance would present quite pleas
ant appearance are cheated out Of their
inheritance by foolish mistresses.
One girl said she never attracted atten-
ton until she made up" Possibly not, but
to attract attention does not always mean
to attract admiration. Some turn to look
from force of habit; others take notice from
a searching desire to discover the germ
of this most exceptional propensity, while
to many she Is object lesson or now not
to become beautiful.
The erring Ponce de Leon and his foun-
tain of youth has been an everlasting sug-
gestion to posterity. but his Illusion, to say
the least, was nySlenlc, Dut tHe pedu.S
seeker of today with her boxes of paste
and creams, rouge and powders will not
lend a redeeTning feature to feminine his
tory. And these victims of the beauty
craze do not see the slightest resemblance
in each other. One will say of another:
Dear me, l don't see how she can go out
on the street looking like that" Each one
confidently believes that she has successful
ly counterfeited nature, while her sister
has failed shamefuly. ...--.. 49,
Beauty culture is an art, but abused 1t Is
perjury The well-groomed woman is
delight and the one who can go to a skilled
specialist has wonderful advantages.
The efforts of the girl who has neither
money nor good taste are well meaning
but unsuccessful. and she who has one
without the other is in compromising
position.
1t is subject for thought and in the
course of evolution it is to be hoped will
be a problem settled. The criterion OF true
beauty is that 1t increases with examina-
ton.

Who is exposed to the air and wind and
sun and does not shroud herself in veil
must use cream and powder If she would
preserve the texture of her skin. By pow
der is not meant a talcum slippery mix
ture that makes the face look for moment
as though it had been coated with flour and
then rubs right off, but a really protecting
powder that is pure and will cling and do
the work. Each night the face should be
cleaned from all dust and dirt by the appl1-
cation of some good cleansing cream. just
a little is to be rubbed on and allowed to
remain for few moments, then with a soft
cloth the cream should be removed, and II
one thinks it necessary, little warm wa
ter may be used afterward. In the use of
every cream it should be remembered that
only little is to be applied. In the morn
Ing cold water should be applied to the face.
Then the lines formed in sleep should be
rubbed out, followed by COO. comfortable
vegetable powder, and my lady is ready for
the day. The powder should be used as
often as necessary during the day, for 1t
does not injure the skin SO long as 1t Is re-
moved each night.
The Harm
Does not come in using a cosmetic, but In
having it show. So declares a beauty spe-
cialist She says a woman should apply
rouge if necessary, and that the only crime
lies in detection The woman who goes about
the street looking like a poster picture is
neither a pleasing nor a forsvable sight,
but on the other hand, neither is the woman
who goes about her house with draSgly
gown and scraggy neck and deep wrinkles
in her forehead and her face when she
might look young and attractive. 1t Is not
the big things that count, but the little ones.
Ten minutes work each day will keep any
face free from wrinkles and any complex
ion in a presentabIe condition.
A Good Wardrobe
May be improvised by taking two strips of
wood as long as desired, four inches wide
and one inch thick. and screw them in the
angle of the wall, six feet from the floor.
Cut boards to fit in the corner and rest
them on the strips to form the top or roof
of the closet. If preferred a heavy piece
of goods may be drawn across for the top,
lacking it to the strips. wooden pole is
put across in front resting the ends from
wall to wall on the strips. This is for cur
tains. Cretonne, chintZ or any such ma
terial will serve the purpose. Now screw
upon the strips many hooks as wanted,
and If the top is wood put hooks into it
also. shelf may also be put in.

number which are to be laid aside for some
future time. The upper shelf of some closet
or large box in the attic serves as store
house for some of these treasures. There
they keep fresh and a hidden treasure
that is sure little later to prove a delight
full revelation. When the playthings in the
nursery have become an old story they, in
turn, are RELOCATED to the attic and are re-
placed in the play room by the fresh toys
which have beer sent down. and which are
hailed with delight by the little ones, who
have forgotten them.
Perchance the children have been confined
to the house by a storm, or to the nursery
by some ailment, and when mamma appears
with these new toys the drearness is for
gotten in the presence of the new allure
ments
1t is a good plan. 1t keeps the nursery
from being overcrowded with toys and, best
of all, it varies the monotony
