says that soap docs not irritate the
complexion" some of the finest COM
| pleXions we have known have been

than the exception, and common sense
has triumphed over the decision that

Lesson of st. Thomas, a most pleasant

Never at any time choose a luncheon
table with entirely white decorations.
If you choose white carnations and
Roman hyacinths and ferns or grace
full dropping white lilacs, at least have
pink roses at each place, and pink
candle shades and bonbons and icings
on fancy cakes. If violets are used
or pansies, or purple iris, combine
them with just the right shade of
light blue for decoration; the blend
ing of violet and blue is very charm
ing when we'll done. In the south or
wherever the large violets grow we'll
violet luncheon can be given, with
whole clumps of violets transferred
to large deep dishes and platters, and
punches of cut violets tied with rib
bons for every guest At one large
fete table was wreathed with bord-
er of violets. Of course, violets look
best by daylight and not by artificial
light, which makes them appear so
dark.
Nothing hurts a conceited man like
being ignored.
Each wrinkle on a woman's brow
represents an experience.
When members of a family quarrel a
lot of truth leaks out.
With too many people charity is
more of fad than virtue.
Some men can't even do their duty
without making fuss about it.
And it's sure thing that one can't
be sure of anything in this world.
A woman would rather do things to
worry rival than to afford herself
pleasure.
Nothing pleases homely woman 50
much as to have man compliment
her figure.
