Within the palace many soldiers body
servants and pages scowled at my

POINTERS ABOUT RAzoRs.
How They should he stroDped and
Taken Care OF.


The average man who shnves himself
doesn't know how to take care Of his
razor, despite all the advice that has
been given to him in the public prints
from time to time, says writer in the
St. Louis Globe Democrat.
He will get good razor and use II
day after day, then wonder why at the
end Of a short time 1t loses its edge
even though he strops # most careful
ly. A razor needs brief intervals Of
rest or It Will grow dull, no matter
what efforts are made to keep It sharp.
II you have a good razor, and il ap-
pears to be losing It's edge, just try a
rest for II instead of having It sharpen
ed up again. The chances are that
when you put It into use again Mt the
expiration Of three or four days It will
prove as sharp as II it had been care
fully honed.
A man who SLAVES himself ought TO
have at least two razors and use these
on alternate mornings; then, II his ra-
zors are all right. he win have but lit
tie trouble with them. IL Is also possi-
bic to strop razor too much. II should
not be stropped for more than half a
minute before shaving, and care should
be taken never to bear heavily on the
strop while doing this. Let the razor
rest lightly on the leather, and the best
results viii be gained.
After finishing a shave strop the ra-
zor once more for a few seconds, and
this viii insure a much better condi-
ton for IT,

The long shoulders Of the moment
sometimes give a lot Of trouble 10 the
amateur dressmaker. The correct way
to ft them is TO put the under part in
first. Tack the full portion Of the
sleeves into small plaits and make
them perfectly fit the size of the arm
hole. The effect is prettier II the
plaits are loosened after the bolero is
fitted; but, If desired, they can be left
stitched for few inches from the arm
hole. There are many devices for OBJ
taining the long shoulder effect with
out actually cutting the long seam.
