Quite as important as the tip itself with
that mysterious class who speak in sign
| language, is the way it is given. The best
way to make 1t satisfactory to both giver
and receiver Is to give it in such way as
not to exact recognition. An extremely
small tip laid on the table with regularity
and without looking to see If the receiver
is appropriately grateful. often will bring
better service than large one given osten-
tatiously. 1t is all matter of doing as
we would be done by and most of us. If In
a position where 1t was essential TO receive
a 10-cent tip, would appreciate the deilcacy
with which 1t was given.
From the results which follow this plan
it would appear that there are walters VINO

Baby
Complexions are the heritage of the wo-
men who not only keep as clean. but who
keep themselves as warm babies. Cloth
ing has everything to do with the proper ac-
ton of the skin. Not only ought underlinen

Innings that come in contact with the skin
often retain the perspiration and should
either be cleansed or renewed.
Warmth is essential to a good complexion,
even with the lingerie blouse girl and all
her following to the contrary. Cold con-
tracts the capillaries and throws extra work
on the internal organs, and in this way in
terferes with the blood. The lungs having
to perform the skins work is seen in COM
mon cold and all the other organs are af
fected
Anything which closes the pores puts the
skin out of proper working order and this
reacts upon the complexion. Low tempera-
ture, sudden chills. or enamels, overpow-
dering, infrequent bathing, or lazy and I'M
thorough rubbing down after bathing all
have this effect.
The skin throws off the waste matter by
perspiration in much greater quantities
than we imagine. The exhalations from the
cuticle weigh as much pound and
half in q grown person in twenty-four hours
even in winter In summer it is much more.
When it comes to the surface the watery
particles evaporate, but the more solid are
deposited ON the skim
After the morning sponge with warm
water if the skin is massaged thoroughly
it rot only promotes the circulation but
makes the pores act as well. When from
any cause, these are blocked, noxious mat

"The Best
Books for boys are the best books for
girls says an authority, and the idea has
been instilled until it would seem to be a
truism.
Notwithstanding. the question. What did
Santa Claus bring you?" to the little
daughter of a cultivated family the other
day brought out the answer: THE Elsie,
books and the Wide Wide World
What it is in the Elsie" books that uni
versally appeals to the girl child is incom-
prehensible to herself when she is grown
UP, but it is certain that the little feminine
soul whose heart throbs with Elsie over her
dark. pale, arfstocratic and stern father
has at one and the same time the qualities
for imagining and making real every shad-
ow and corner of the lair, which was the
wonder home in which Mowgli lived with
his beast friends.
She can thrill just as responsibility to
tales or arctic travel or big game hunting.
If it IS put into her hands, as can her small
brother, and 1t only takes a little interest
on the part of elder readers to help her
master that something technical which is
the blessed gift to most of the reading of
boys.
At that uncertain but young age some
where in school days. when girls receive the
youthful man of leisure known as the 'faf-
ternoon caller" there was one who led in
this kind of popularity because of library
full of some of the old Ballantyne books of
African hunting. She knew the books and
