liar temperament They should be
taugbtto govern not only their actions
but their thoughts and feelings, by
their reason and Judgment. They should
be shown how to argue their misery
out to its lowest terms before allowing
themselves to be made miserable By
imaginary sorrows.
For girls or for those older who never
have been truly disciplined such train
ing is necessary ere they can find peace
of mind and comfort amid the conflicts
Of an emotional temperament. The
final virtue of the. sensitive spiritual ma
ture is to be happy. And though it
may take many struggles to attain this
state the mind should be made up that
happiness is the right and highest con-
dition and that only weak minded peo-
pie believe it fine to be miserable.

DRESS FOR HoUsEwoRK.

ent place and herself a much healthier
and happier woman But there must
be no preteIse about it, There must
be special dress, and one neat, prac-
teal and pretty enough to glory in
should it be necessary to see people
during working hours.
The working gown must be washable
and experience suggests pretty col
ored linen as the fabric. Green is a
cool and beautiful color, it washes we'll
and is somehow restful to wear. The
gown must be simply made. A blouse
and skirt is unsatisfactory because it is
never tidy behind The illustration
shows an ideal costume for the practi-
cal housekeeper. The tucked bodice is
set into band into which is sewn the
slightly gored full skirt. The sleeves
have two sets Of buttons at the wrist.
One holds the cuff loosely and the next
quite tight. The sleeve can be undone
altogether if bare arms feel more ener-
getic. An apron is necessary, and
white linen is incest for this, and the
simpler the better.
No lady would think of sweeping
and busting with unprotected hair; the
process is too unpleasant. For this
purpose a mob cap is the best. 1t is
made of spotted muslin and is but a
circular piece Of material with a frill
attached. A slot for the string or rib
bon may be used to gather it up after
washing, but a beading Of insertion
through which the ribbon is run is
perhaps daintier

An Ideal Costume For the Practical
Housekeeper.
There are many women who do their
own houseWork either as a general rule
or during one Of those domestic up
heayals which sometimes attack the
bliss Of the most careful housewife.
There is. however, a vast difference in
the way IN which different women re-
gard the question of homework. Some
really enjoy it, some consider it mental
and something to be ashamed of while
others moan because they find it SO
hard and t0ilsOme. Yet there are many
women striving to make ends meet on
a tiny income who will not look the
question Of houseWork squarely ia the
lace. There are many small houses
which would be far better kept and
happier places if the mistress did not
content herself with "a little light dust

A MAN TO AVOID.
The One who Is Generally DisIiIxed
by Other Wen.

The One Who Is Generally DisIiIxed
by Other Men.
The cynical old maid would probably
tell us that all men should be avoided
The happily married young woman
will say that is nonsense all men are
good, as undoubtedly they are to a GER
tain extent. Rarely does one come
across any man who is thoroughly
bad
Yet the old maid is not entirely
wrong, either. There are some men
whom it is well to avoid, and the young
girl who is just entering social life
should take the advice Of those who
have had more experience than herself
that is to say, in the greater issues.
1t savors of youth and almost foolish
ness to refuse to know man even
slightly because of some faults
In the matter Of real friendship, how
ever, and marriage, a girl is unWise if
she accept as friend or lover a man
whom other men dislike Such a man
is not often worthy Of a good woman's
consideration and certainly the mex
perienced girl is better to keep at
arms length man Of this sort.
Either he is mean or selfish, a blus-
terer or must plead guilty to other
faults. AS an acquaintance perhaps he
might be possible, but as friend most
inadvisable.
One wants man who is compare
lively strong all over if he is to be adj
mitted to the innermost sanctuary The
man who is impossible in one or more
respects must certainly be relegated
to the mere outward fringe.-New York

room, are all that are required, in
many cases, to make an ugly arm
pretty. There are very few with sup
pie arms, and very few can lift the
arms over the head high enough to es-
cape the latter completely and touch
the finger tips.
To make the arms graceful, clasp the
hands at the back of the head and lean
the head back. A great many persons
cannot even do this simple thing. And,
to make them supple, lift them over the
head, swing them around and try in all
ways to exert every muscle of the
arms at least once every day Of your
life.
Women with good arms should en-
deavor to keep them nice in color as
we'll as nice in shape. To keep the
arms white there are several recipes,
one about as good as the other. A great
deal depends upon the nature of the
skin, and the food that will whiten one
cuticle will have no effect whatever

peroxide Of hydrogen intermixed, will

An Invalid,s Alphabet.

We all know the misery of being
kept il bed for a long or short period
and how heavily time hangs We ex-
haust books, papers-in fact, every
thing and become a burden to our
selves.
A girl with original ideas is respon-
sible for ''the invalid's alphabet" This
consists of a series of letters, one Of
which only is to be opened each day.
The alphabet" is started by cutting
all kinds of interesting pictures and
matter from various magazines. Let
us suppose the invalid is fond of art.
If so, let A stand for art. Get some
nice smooth paper and fold sheet
over as if to fit an envelope Write on
the outside, "a for Art" and gum in
side some artistic reproduction Gf by
well known artist, write few items
in the who's WhoY Style.
The envelope is made of bright hued
Grape paper, cut and folded to shape,
but tied with baby ribbon and not
sealed and on the address side is post
ed a large cut out capital letter. There
are lots of interesting subjects for the
remaining letters Of the alphabet-B,
for babies or birds" F for fun"
any amount of jokes and pictures-M
for music" or even motors" and the
helpful r, for religion
Such is the main idea of the ''inya-
lids alpha0et.' and the weary sufferer
will look forward to each day that wit
nesses the opening Of fresh envelope.

MRS. ROBERT HUNTER.

"A Noble Woman Who Is Engaged In
Noble Work.
AS Caroline M. Phelps Stokes of New
York, Mrs. Robert Hunter was reared
in the lap Of luxury. Her father, An
son Phelps Stokes, is many times mil
h0naire, and her grandfather, Arson
Phelps, was numbered among the
greatest Of New Yorks many great
4inanciers
Her home on Fifth avenue was one
of the most magnificent in that city Of
splendid mansions. Liveried servants
were always at her call; her every wish
was gratifed. Nothing that money
could buy was denied her when she de
sired it. She is said to have a fortune
of $4,000, 900 in her own right.
Elassoming into womanhood Miss
Stokes followed the example of her two
brothers, the Rev. Arson Phelps Stokes,
Jr., and J. G. Phelps Stokes, and began
work in the slums of New York's east
side.
She turned her back upon the usual
pleasures of the rich and the invitations

Massage.

Flesh on any part of the body may be
reduced by proper massage. Anoint
with cocoa butter or any other good
massage agent, so that the flesh will
not be bruised; then, by picking up the
flesh in tiny folds and rolling between
thumb and first finger, you will be
able to dissolve the tiny fat cells. Fol

result from this massage.

Sewing on Buttons.

When sewing on buttons, before you
lay the buttons on the garment, put the
thread through so that the knot will be
on the right side That leaves it under
the button and prevents it from being
ironed or torn away. Before you begin
sewing, lay large pin across the but
ton SO that the threads go over the pin.
After you have finished filing the
holes, draw out the pin and draw the
thread round and round beneath the
button. This forms a stem to sustain
the pulling and wear of the button
hole.

BEAUTIFUL ARMS.
How They May BE Obtained with
Little Effort.

HOW They May Be Obtained With
Little Effort.
A leading artist recently described
the ideal arm as follows:
a Womans arms are of just the cor
rect length" he said, when with the
tips of her fingers she can measure
just her own height with arms out
stretched The shape of her arms, how
ever, is far more important than their
length. They must be symmetrical to
be pretty. the color must be white,
While not pallid, and the skin soft and
smooth. Perfect arms are round arms.
and the roundness should extend all
the way from the shoulder right down
to the wrist. The arms must be plump.
yet not fat. and finished off with a dim
pie at the shoulder, at the elbow and
at the wrist.
"Dimpled wrists are rare, yet one
does see them. A pretty wrist is one
that is small and tapering. Certain
wrists are so tiny that they look as
though string were tied around them
above the hand This kind Of wrist is
very childish and gives the owner an
appearance of youth.
Nice hands go with nice wrists, of
course, and the woman whose arms
and wrists are good will not neglect to
make her hands nice also. She must
preserve their plumpness and must see
to it that they are the right color aud
shape

The Thin Woman's Clothes.

One of the unsolved mysteries is why
the average thin woman is inclined to
wear her clothes in such way that
they only accentuate her thinness. In
stead Of diminishing the length of her
back by a deeply shaped belt she too
often wears a belt SO narrow that it
looks as though she had taken particu-
lar pains to hunt down the narrowest
to be found, and instead of wearing her
blouse generously full and pouched in
front she seems to take pleasure in
pulling it down skin tight. In fact, the
thin woman should wear frills and
furDelows as much as possible instead
of accentuating her long lines and acute
angles by clothes that seem to be cut
on her own pattern.-New York Mail

OLD SCRAPBOOKS.
They Sometimes Prove a Serious
Menace to Health.


Old scrapbooks are a menace to
health. For several reasons they har-
Dor more dust than any other old books.
Usually the pages are pasted on both
sides, making them thick and uneven,
They are broad, and their ornate bind
ings are seldom behind glass doors, but
easily accessible on tables and shelves.
After turning over the pages, sneezing,
head colds and hay fever have often
resulted without the cause being sus-
pected. In our library was a scrap
book of colored fashion plates from
1858 to 1892 Another was filled with
newspaper clippings of the war be-
tween the states. They were priced
and frequently read, but colds almost
invariably followed. We sent them to
a bindery to be fumigated and rebound.
To prevent in great measure this con-
dition, use a carbolized paste, paste
only on one side of the page, keep them
behind glass and provide them with
oil paper covers. Do not let this adj
verse side prevent any one from MAX
ing scrapbooks Use preventiyes as
with all old books whose pages have
been turned until they are sufficiently
uneven to harbor dust-Good House
