TO MAKE THE HAIR CURL
Pour into shallow vessel about one teaspoon
iul OF an oil having the following composition /:
oll OF rosemarv one part best olive oil, seven
parts. With "a camel hair brush cover the
coarser half of the comb with this. and repeat
from time to time until all the oil has been
used. Merely put film on the. comb, and use
the latter for about ten minutes Do this at
night, and in the morning apply the comb, after
dipping it in tepid cold water. 1t should be
used for several minutes. The hair must be al.
lowed to dry without rubbing
1t will be found an admirable plan when the
hair is dry, harsh and without any tendency to
wave or curl In many cases the hair need be
touched with the oil only about three times
weekly. There are people who findo smaller
quantity of the oil suffice. OF course, the plan
is not applicable to hair that is naturally greasy.
The hair should not be brushed more on one
side than the other. If the hair is to be of even
thickness and beauty on both sides of the head
one side of the hair and of the scalp should be
brushed as evenly as the other The usual prac-
tice is to draw all of the hair over either the
right or left shoulder, so that only side of the

Royal Marriages

1t is popularity supposed that all Royal families
have prejudice in favor of early marriages; it
will therefore, come as something of a surprise
to many to learn that the average age of twenty
eight reigning potentates at the time of their
respective marriages was twenty-five years eight
months, while the average age of the ladies they
espoused was twenty and a half years 1t is in-
deed the exception rather than the rule for the
male occupants Of thrones to marry before the
age Of twenty-six.

;, prevalent, 1t behooves us to keep
them clean.
Now, many otherwise excellent housekecpers
dread the annual blanket washing simply because
they understand little or nothing of the art of
blanket securing, as the Scotch call it.
1hey usually resort to one other of the two
very bad methods, and either send the blankets
to public laundry, where they NAV be made
white and clean, but will certainly shrink. or
they have washerwoman in, who upsets the
whole household, washes the poor blankets very
badly, and leaves them hard to touch, very grimy
to behold, and some sizes smaller than they
ought to be.
BLANKETS REQUIRE INDIVIDUAL CARE.
Now, if one lives in the country, where gar
den, or field, or good drying ground is close by
excellently appointed laundry, a big annual
orgie of blanket washing may be advantageous,
though Il hae me doots" about that.
To the ordinary housewife wh has neither
the space nor the appliances the necessary
number of servants, it is a far wiser plan to send
one blanket to the wash every week, or two if
the washing is liz one and it is always nee
essary only to wash one at time otherwise
blankets shrink.
They cannot be treated en- masse as linen or
cotton things ere, but must be done speedily and
thoroughly, and dried fine hot day. out cf
doors, but not in the hot sun.
THE RIGHT KIND OF LATIER
A warm soap lather must be prepared from
soap Jelly made the day before, and a little am
monia, either lump or liquid, must be added to
this, and the blanket allowed OF soak for about
a quarter of an hour to extract the grease Then
it must be kneaded and squeezed until the dirt
is all loosened, and, if necessary, put through
two, and even three, fresh athers. The next
process is rinsing, which must be done in warm
water, and if no soft water has been obtainable
little ammonia to each rinsing water is great
advantage
When rnsing is over it is important that fold

also.
Shaking well after rinoing and then pegging
carefully to clothes lines in the open air, and
shaking occasionally by two persons while drying
are the final processes except the "last and
final" stretch between two persons after they
are qute dry, in order to keep them to their
proper size.

glass there is to hold violin, and
PS71SzTSl il should be regarded by women who
lSEaSgD are particular. To hold glass near
the top when raising it to the lips is
inexcusable. Even tumbler should be held at
the base and the bowl of a wine glass should
never be touched by the fingers. The stem is
quite as much for holding it for ornament and
should be used accordingly.

this was taught carefully the French
phrases with which they embroidered their con-
versation, but in this latter day of rush it is in
fair way to being lost art except among those
who value the importance of little things.
To be remembered always is that the fingers
are not to go the top. The veriest tyro
knows that to pass glass by putting ones fore
finger over the edge with the thumb and second
finger just below is the height of bad form, and
little children are quickly rebuked for it. But
il seems to have slipped general observation that
the correct way is not to take it in the middle,
leaving it to luck where the other person shall
find place to put her fingers TO receive it. Yet it
is clearly and logically laid down that in passing
a glass be it tumbler or goblet, from one person
to another the one to hold it out shall take it
near the top, leaving bare the space below where
the recipients fingers shall grasp it. This places
the hand of the person who is to drink in quite
the correct position, which is below the bowl

One sometimes sees it held so that the bottom of
the bowl rests on the side of the forefnger. This
is not correct.
While on the subject of drinking it may not be
amiss to say that woman as a rule does not
hold her chin correctly while doing it. That is
to say she lowers it too much, she does not
raise the glass enough. The chin should never he

RICE WATER FOR THE SKIN
This is pleasant lotion. 1t tends to soften

be prepared afresh every day, as it quickly turns

throw the water away. Then cover with one pint
of cold water. Stir and allow to stand for twelve
hours. Before using stir we'll, and strain through

Powder must not be used in any quantity to
