After each finger has been worked
on the palm and back OF the hand are
massaged again, using the same strok-
ing movement with which one puts on
a glove. Now for the forearm: Grasp
it at the wrist with the fingers of the
other hand, and with a twisting, wiring
ing motion work slowly and firmly up
ward to the elbow. Another move
ment for the forearm is done by lay
ing the hand palm downward and
moving the flesh Of the forearm quick
ly from side to side. A quick series
of little slapping movements will help
bring the blood to the surface, and 1t
must be remembered that in massag-
ing the arms all the movements go up
ward with pressure and the downward
motion is merely a soothing stroke.
The elbow is rounded out by rub
bling in as much of the fattening cream
as the skin will absorb and then
working the palm of the hand round
and round the sharp point as if one
were literally modelling an elbow out
of soft clay.
The upper part of the arm is made
plump by the same movements as arr
used in f%attening the forearm, only the
movements are executed with even
greater vigor.

Debutante Usually introduced at an
Afternoon Tea or Reception
About Form of Introduction.

The formal presentation Of a de-
butante usually takes place at an at
ternoon tea or reception, writes Eliza
beth Biddle. Later in the season a ball
may be given in her honor either by
her parents or some near relative.
The debutante's name should be en-
graved beneath that of her mothers
On the cards of invitation to a tea or
reception.
For the first year she should not
use a separate visiting card except
when calling on intimate friends. 1t
Is a very pretty custom for the friends
and relatives of the debutante to send
her bouquets of flowers on the day of
her formal bow to the social world.
During the tea or reception she
should stand beside her mother at the
principal entrance to the drawing
room and after welcoming the guests
as they enter. her mother should pre-
sent her TO each, one. In the case of
men they should. of course, be pre-
sented to the young woma AS a
rule, a number Of that seasons de-
butantes are asked to receive, and two
older women are asked to pour tea.
The entertainment usually con-
cludes with a small dinner and pos
sibly a theater party given for the re-
ceiving party and, an equal number of
young men.

AN N CONTEST
This Is in the Nature of e. Protest
Against over-Elaborate Lunch
cons and Dressing.

An economy contest between four
~housekeepers is full of interest. 1t all
came about in talking over the e%xtrava-
gance and work connected with enter
tanning, and how the true spirit of hos
pitality seemed to have been overlooked
in the mad rush and endeavor of each
hostess to have a little more, or things
a little different in comparison with
Mrs. "So-and-So." e
Then 1t was agreed that each one
would give a luncheon, the cost for
the four not to exceed one dollar; that
they would wear wash gowns, not to
exceed two dollars in cost--that is, for
the material-and they would bring
their sewing, while one Of the four
would read aloud for ar hour; each
one was to relate some current news
item or relate some interesting event.
Gossip in the strict sense of the word
was to be tabooed. Meetings were to
be held once in two weeks. This is
certainly a step in the right direction.
Let us hope there will be more Econ
omy Clubs.

First to round out the arm. This is
not a difficult matter, and the amateur

A DAINTY CASE.

linging of canvas being used to make
it firmer. Just where the case folds
over, on the inner side, there should
be a band Of strong black elastic abou!
one-half inch wide, but long enough to
reach from end to end of the case, and
tackled securely on either eide. Tho
music can then be folded in half and
slipped under the elastic band, JUS
as blotting paper is held in a plotting
book.
The case should be edged with silk
cord in a harmonious color, and tien
with ribbon bows. A handle forme:
of twisted ribbon and also tied with
ribbon bows will give a furnishing
touch to this pretty case.

The remaining whites, the priests
Renee, and the nun were also among
those on the top of the rock. They
prepared quarters for the wounded, and
made all ready to attend those whom
the coming fight would render fit sub
iects for their care.
The sounds of preparation had
ceased, ALI was III readiness. Every
eye of the defenders was strained
through the gath ering twilight to catch
sight of the first signs Of attack. The
sun had set in a cloudy sea of blood.
a fact that was noted by the Indians
with an ominous shake of the head.
From across the river came the even
ing pipings of drowsy birds. A whip
poor-will was heard to call; a chorus
of frogs added their deep bass-note to
the even-song of nature. Suddenly a
savage yell was heard, answered by
another from the tree shade facing the
%barricade. In an instant the quiet
scene was changed. A thousand dusky
figures leaped from their h~iding-places
and rushed across the clearing. A
thousand arms brandishing gun or bat
tle-ax. A thousand throats poured
forth a volume Of demoniac sound. He'll
was broken loose; the battle was on.
An answering yell came from behind
the barricade, whose red-skinned de-
tenders danced up and down working
themselves into a frenzy to meet the
coming hand-to-hand conflict. The
chevalier had given orders to the front
row of his force, who were armed with
guns, not to fire until the enemy had
como within ten feet OK thsn. This
order was obeyed, and the invading
line had almost reached the barricade
before a shot was fired. The Iroquois,
loath enough to attack a fortified place.
we're evidently surprised at the number
of guns in possession Of the besieged.
Many of them dropped before the fire.
The rest hastily reiterated and stopped
at the edge of the clearing, contenting
themselves with yells and an occa-
sional shot fired at random. Suddenly
the report Of the little cannon from the
summit OF the fort was heard, and q
ball crashed into their midst as they
stood congregated together.

Like other businesses, the tramp
profession has to keep moving, and,
enterprise enters into his calculation
as much as into a member of any
other business.
One strolled up to a journalists
house the other day. That was a mis-
take. Had he known it was the domi-
Gle of a press man, he would not
have wasted his time. Being there,
however, he made the best of it, and
asked for a meal.

DO o BE so N S
Let tbs Lips Lightly Touch, Not Be
Compressed, and Practice TAX
ing Perfect Rests.

Resting the mouth is very impor-
tant. Your lips should lightly touch
each other, but should not be COM
pressed. Your teeth should NOT be
together. as is the habit OF
most people. You should not pull the
upper lip down or do anything tnat
distorts the mouth. Take a looking
glass and examine your mouth. be
sure that you know how to rest your
lips.
Then learn how to rest your head
This, too, requires some knack. ID
walking the head should rest well
back upon the neck. 1t should never
be thrust forward. In sitting it should
take the easiest position possible, and
if convenient. it Should rest against a
cushion or the back of a chair. Ihere
ought to be more high backed chairs
in the world. The head ought to be
rested more than it is.
Resting the back is very important.
Most women have a backache simply
because they cannot rest the back

Chest. and Chin I'm.

A beauty doctor gives it as her opin-
ion that the time-honored maxim to
hold your shoulders back" is a mis-
take. Forget your shoulders" is her
advice. Keep your chest and chin
up and your shoulders will take are
of themselves" Another authority
says that it never did her the least
good to be told to hold herself upright
until some one suggested to her to
imagine that her chest was suspended
from a cord. That mental ppicture of
her chest held up, supported in air
by artificial means. did more for her
than all the admonitions and will

body are being properly performed the
worn-out portions d~isengage, and their
place is taken by new material. This
is more noticeable with the skin than
other parts of the body, because there
is a better opportunity to observe it.
Well, this being true, suppose that
certain particles do not ~disengage, nor
become entirely dead, and are merely
pushed up by the new ones which take
their places. This process continues
until quite an eminence is formed.
This is a wart. 1t is caused by the
particles which should die. and be dis
engaged. ~clinging tenaciously to life
and their position.
The thing which is necessary to re-
move them. then, regardless of their
particular kind of location, is to COM
plete their death, when they will dis
appear. How to accomplish this is
very simple and can be performed by
anyone. Any wart can be removed
by applying any of the following rem
edies, as I shall direct:
Take an old tooth brush, or some
thing of that kind, and apply LugoFs
solution of iodine to the crown Of the
wart, two or three times daily. This
will require about two weeks to re-
move the wart. 1t will disappear grad
ually, and you will hardly realize that
it is going until it is gone.
Another equally m%eritorious remedy,
to be applied, just as the above. is q
solution of concentrated acetic acid
one part to five parts Of water. Apply
until the wart is removed. 1t requires
about the same length of time as tPe
Lugol's solution of iodine. s
Stick a needle through the wart ant
then heat one end of the needle rec
hot. The wart turns white and dis
appears.
These remedies never fail to produces
the dpsired results, and | N sure tina
club members will find them just wha'
they have been looking for, and viii
not be disappointed by a trial.

Five-Minute Nap.

Every housewife should cultivate
the habit Of five-minute maps. After
working hard a few hours a woman is
apt to feel sleepy or dragged out"
and imagines that it is only that or

If she gives in to the feeling and rests
for a short time on a comfortable
lounge she will feel wonderfully fresh
ened and will do better and quicker
work than If she had foregone her cat
