VIRTUES OF OLIVE OIL.
One Of the Most Valuable Of All Toilet
Adjuncts.

The uses and virtues OF olive oil are
many-not only from a culinary point
of view. but as a medicine and an ad.
iunct to the toilet.
For internal use olive oil is extreme
ly valuable, in many cases being as
good II not better than cod liver oil,
and far more palatable, while as a
beauty specific it is of more value
than many high priced cosmetics and
skin foods, both Of which last virtues
it unites in itself.
With respect TO skin food and COS
metics no animal fat, or any cream
having such as a base, should ever be
used for the face, as 1t has a tendency
to encourage that most fatal foe to
woman's beauty-superfiuou hairs.
Olive oil, however, being a vegetable
product. has no such injurious effect
and can be used with safety by almost
anyone, except, perhaps. those with
greasy skins.
But particularly those who have ar
rived-or are aTriving-at the much
talked-of and dreaded uncertain age
should not neglect the regular use of
olive oil; 1T helps I'm wonderful way
to preserve the soft nothings of chin
and throat.
Some people advocate pure glycerin,
but this sticky stun is absolutely ru.
inous to the skin and should never be
used alone; olive OIL, on the other
hand, is most beneficial.
AS to the method of it's employment
simply wash the face well and then
gently rub the oil in with finger tips
using an upward motion for the
cheeks, till the skin has absorbed as
much as 1t can, then wipe off with
clean wadding, lint or piece of old
linen.

SOME USES FOR SODA.
Material Practically indispensable for
the Housewife.

a weak solution of soda will revive
the color in dusty carpet. Keep
flowers fresh by putting a pinch of
soda in the water. Add a little soda
to the water when boiling out enamel
saucepans and it will help to cleanse
them. A spoonful of soda added to
water in which dishcloths are washed
will keep them a good color and sweet
en- them. One large teaspoonful of sal
soda will bleach kettleful of clothes.
Hair brushes need weekly cleansing {;
for this purpose add one tablespoonful
of soda to quart of hot water, dip the
bristles-not the back-into this and
shake well, until perfectly clean
rinse and stand on edge to dry.
When the waste pipe is clogged with
grease, pour down a gallon of boiling
water in which has been dissolved a
cupful of soda. Repeat this until all
the impurities are removed. In cook.

THE SIGHT OF NEW BEAUTY. AMI


THE SIGHT OF 4 NEW BEAUTY. AND
SOME ADVICE FROM HIGBEE.
In from the shining sea late one aft

And, az l live" exclaimed Psyche
there's the Baron de Palliac between

Sure enough" said her brother
We must call ma up to see him

Doesn't the baron look just too dis

Psyche, watching them.
And doesn't Higbee look Just too

brother.
The Higbee craft cut her way grace

luca, and launches from both yachts

At the landing Percival telephoned for
carriage. While they were waiting
the Higbee party came ashore.
"Hello!' said Higbee, "if Id known
that was you we was chasing I'd have

sight
ITS much better you didn't recog-
nize us; these boiler explosions are so
messy"

"Of course we know the baron. All,

gracefully at her side.

Il must telephone for one myself. Co

you again tonight. We're off for Bar
Harbor early tomorrow"
Looks as If there were something

drove off the wharf

After they had gone away Percival
sat revolving the paternal warnings OF
Higbee. He considered them seriously.
He decided he ought to think more
about what he was doing and what he
should do. He decided, too, that he
could think better with something me-
chanical to occupy his hands. He took
a cab and was driven to the local
branch Of his favorite temple of chance.
His host welcomed him at the door.
"Ah, Mr. Bines, little recreation,

Passing through the crowded, bright

cured a seat for him, he played medi-

terially to his hosts reasons for believ-
ing he had done wisely to follow his
