The nose must be wide and full

brides home for her intimate friends
to see. Cards. however. are always
removed.
There is a growing tendency to sim
plicity in the decoration OF both
church and house at weddings. Green,
either Of palms, smilaX or asparagus
fern, is without doubt the most effec-
tive background, and for flower dec
Grafton, nothing quite equals the rag
ged yellow chrysanthemums. Ameri-
can beauty roses are effective for
house decoration. but other varieties
lack character.
AS to the marking of the trousseau,
practically the same style prevails
here as formerly, that is, the marking
of the garments and linen with the
brides name, though in England to-
day the custom Of using the husbands
names is becoming quite common.
Long ago it was deemed highly un-
lucky, indeed, almost improper, to en-
broider or mark the brides married
name upon her trousseau linen and
upon that of the household. which. of
course, she supplied. Some people
even went so far as to declare that the
wedding would never come off if the
clothes were so marked Then COM
mon sense stepped in and presented
the problem in a different light, point
ing out how very absurd it was for a
wife to retain upon her clothing her
maiden name, instead of that which
she bore as a married woman.
The very universal plan Of sending
the linen to a laundry instead Of hav-
ing it washed and got up at home, as
was the general custom formerly
made the change inevitable and now
all the laundry and house linen is
marked with the husbands name This
custom, universal in England though it
is, is not observed throughout Ameri-
ca, where the old-fashioned plan Of
marking the linen with the maiden
name prevails.

Household Hints.

Always read the label on bottle
before giving medicine.
Copperas dissolved in water is one
of the most valuable of disinfectants.
Do not put salt into soup until you
are done sllimming it, as salt will
stop the rising of the scum.
Boston baked beans can be greatly
improved by adding a cup OF sweet
cream the last hour of baking.
Vinegar added to sour milk for grid
die cakes, ETC., will cause it to foam
lighter in connection with the soda.
Furs that become greasy in wear
can be rubbed with turpentine pre-
vious to cleaning them with warm
bran.
Copper and brass may be quickly
cleaned by dipping half lemon in
fine salt and then rubbing over STAIN
ed objects.
The color Of canned fruit is quick
ly injured by action of light. No mat
ter if it is kept in dark closet, ev-
cry jar should be wrapped in paper.
Carpets can be botn cleaned and
freshened by going over them once a
week with a broom dipped in hot
water that has little turpentine in
it.
A delicious warmed-over dish may
be made by mincing the cold remnants
of the calf's head and heating them
in sauce made with the liquor in
which the meat cooked.
1t is well to know that il salt fish is
wanted quickly the fish is freshened
much sooner Of soaked in milk, milk
that is turned being as good for the
purpose as the fresh milk.
For earache, fold a thick towel
/ around the neck and then with a tea
spoon fill the ear with warm water.
| Continue this for IS or 20 minutes,
| then let the water run out and plug
the ear with cotton dipped in warm
glycerine.
Here is a wrinkle, says late
English magazine, for cleaning laces
at home. You must often have dis
! paired of getting your lace that de.
lightfully dingy yet clean color which
you see in the shops. Make some
very weak tea and add a few drops
Of India ink (the best) to the tea. Dip
in your lace.
An excellent preventive of influenza
is said to be found in adding few
drops of eucalyptus oil to every pail
of hot water used in cleaning the
woodwork of house and to the wat
er in which the broom is frequently
dipped when sweeping carpets. Tur
| pentine may be used If preferred In
place of eucalyptus. The whole house
in this way becomes disinfected.

Chance for All.

There is no woman. no matter how
plain, who cannot be greatly improved
by Oeautifying, by getting some good,
hard common sense ideas in her head
and living up to them. Beauty should
not be the exception; it should be the
rule. If some other woman can be
clever, lovely, charming and sought af-
ter, so can you. God gave us all the
same minds and hearts and what one
can do another can accomplish. Good
ness, cheerfulness, love, sympathy, en-
thusiasm, all weave halos for woman
and make her lovely to those who
know her. A great love for humanity,
a powerful realization of the magnifi-
cence Of life and the world and all
there is in it will make the most sim
pie person Of dazzling loveliness.-

The Smart Twins.

"Well, there's one good thing about
Lyal having a black eye and Earl a
scratched nose" said the boys Aunt
10 to their Uncle Frank. "I'll be able
to tell them apart for a few days, un-
til the result of their last battle wears
off"
what did they quarrel about this
time?" inquired Uncle Frank, who
took q lively interest in the little twin
nephews who were visiting at the
farm.
"Lyal wanted to go fishing in the
brook, but Earl insisted it was more
fun to fish in the pond, so they used
their fists in settling the matter"
"Those boys fight altogether too
often" Uncle Frank had worried
look on his benign face. 81 believe
I'll give them something to do, for
works an excellent thing to keep folks
out of mischief, and I'll make the pun
ishment fit the offense. I'm not going
to allow either of them to go fishing
again until they pick up all those
loose stones in the road, and put them
in a pile in the pasture"
When Earl and Lyal heard the de-
cree their spirits fell. They obediently
| put the fishing rods away and began
to pick up the stones from the road
put them in to the spot in the pasture
designated by their uncle.
Before they had worked long their
legs and backs began to ache, and the
twins sat down on a bank to rest.
81 don't think it's polite Of Uncle
Frank to make us work when we're
visiting him." said Lyal, with pout.
Maybe it wasn't polite of us to
fight" remarked Earl, pulling a field
daisy to pieces.
"I've thought of something"
screamed the brother, dancing up and
down in the middle of the road.
"We'll put up a target by the stone
pile, and throw the stones at it in
stead of carrying them. Won't it be
fun?"
The other twin assented eagerly, and
soon the stones were flying through

Hearing the shouts of laughter, Il
bog who was visiting at the next

then another came, and soon every
boy in the reignborhcod was throwing
stones ct the target, and the highway
was soon cleared OF all stones.
Uncle Frank and Aunt 10 were dis
cussing the stone-throwing frolic in
the farmhouse, and Uncle Frank said
with o resounding slap on his knee
"Wcu. those twins are even smarter
than / thought they were! They
have every child in the neighborhood

lege to clear the road of stones. Boys
who can turn work into play this way

cnief."--A. e. Myricll in the Youths

Weddinq Customs.

Wedding customs are as subject to
change as those Of fashion. and with
the first batch Of the seasons wed
dings there have been inaugurated any
number of new fads and original ideas.
First of all. it is no longer popular to
have a large number of bridesmaids,
one reason being that such a long
train of attendants detracts attention
from the bride -Four may be the
limit, and several winter brides ex-
pect to have none but a maid of honor.
Again, house receptions, even when
there is a crush at the church cere-
mony, are often most informal. The
. custom of paying ones socialindebted-
ness, by asking every one to the
church, reserving the reception for
only intimate friends, is growing in
favor. There is something particular
" appropriate in a bride surrounding
herself with only her close friends up
on such an occasion. and that this
custom will be followed largely this
winter, even when there are ample ac
commodations for a crowd is already
evident.
The idea Of having the presents or
view the night OF the wedding has fal
len into disuse nowadays. Instead

The Dressing Table.

A visit to any drug store or depart
ment store will prove that the femin-
inc world in America has gone beauty
mad. Counters are loaded with trides
which will make woman more attrac-
tive il not more beautiful, and groom
ing is the craze of the hour.
Among the complexion novelties Of
fered this season is a vacuum mas
sage brush. This is built Of rubber
with indentations the size of hat pin.
1t is pressed against the face, and as
it is withdrawn, the suction fairly
lifts the flesh and stimulates the skin.
This is supposed to be helpful to the

Rubber wash cloths. in the same
shape as the ordinary Turkish article,
have numberless little teeth scattered
over them, guaranteed to open the

fashion. A trifle more compact are
the rubber wash cloths the size of a
hand, with straps across the back
which slip over the lower part Of the
| fingers, just as a curry-comb is used
by horseman.
The woman who washes to stimu-
late her hair buys a scalp sprayer.
This looks very much like curry

ing il to expand. When the patient is
| ready to spray her scalp, she runs
| this comb through her hair. close to
the skull. and presses on the bulb,
thus forcing the fluid straight into the
pores OF the head. 1t is a much sim
pier process than rubbing tonic in
with the fingers, brush or a sponge.
Another little beauty trinRet which
will appeal to the tidy woman is a
comb cleaner which shows a pin and
a comb combined.
After the shampoo the hair will take
on a much more pleasant odor if
| sprayed with a delicate toilet water
The newest atomizer for this purpose
has a cylindrical bottle with a screw
top head in gold, silver or nickel. By
pressing the centre of this top, a cir
cular piece the size of a nickel, springs
up. This connects with concealed
rubber bulb. and By raising or lower
ing this central button. the fluid is
sent spraying out through a tiny hole
| in the side of the top.
The modern toilet table is equipped
with many brushes. and these have
brought into favor dainty racks in
nickel, silver and decorated china.
One rack win hold the tooth and nail
brushes, tiny brush for rubbing vas
cline into the eyebrows at night, and
another for shaping them each time
the toilet is made. 1t will also hold
on one arm the silver spool Of dental
floss for cleaning the teeth.
Every well-groomed woman takes
pleasure in running wash ribbons
through her underwear. The ribbon
should be purchased in several sizes,
as il does not look pretty if used in a
width too large for slipping easily
through the beading. To avoid curl
ing or turning the ribbon, the shopper
can now buy a fiat bodkin with fine
teeth which catch the ribbon at either
edge and run it fatty through ths
beading.
