to leave the bones as they are, but the

The frequent, and quite natural quer-
les about massaging that crowd my
mail every day make me think it worth
while to explain, if possible how il can
do such apparently contradictory things.
For example, one woman writes TO ask
how can it help to reduce her flesh If
massage also IS fattening? Another re-
verses the question. The confusion is,
therefore, natural, because only those
who have studied the matter, or OBJ
served it, realize that the different re
suits are accomplished by entirely DIFF
ferent methods.
Like all other things, massage re
quires TO be well done. and with Anowl-
edge. Attempting such things on the
cheap, as a rule spells failure, and those
who are brave enough to undertake 10
massage their own faces should be duly
instructed by those who do it well. as 10
right methods, 6r the chances are they
will be doing a very great deal more
harm than good, and when you do harm
in massaging you most probably do a
lot OF il. To make the flesh and muscles
faEybv is not al eli what you desire, yet
this is what you are likely 10 effect If
Won do not follow the right course Of the
muscles, rubbing upwards across the
lines. and altogether do the work prop
erly.
There are four movements which the
beauty culturists, as well as the health
promoters, in massaging have to exc
cute-strOking. kneading, rubbing. anC
striking. This striking is not unlike
Shaping, but is decidedly stimulating.
The strokes are given raTIdly with the
side of the hand or the entire hand,
and sometimes on the face with the tips
of the fingers. Swapping massage has
been the means Of restoring the outline
to the chin. and reinstattng the sagging
cheek in its proper condition. StrOking
is done quite slowly with the palm OF
the hand and when applied to the
body should be directed toward its cen
ter. Il stimulates the blood IN our
veins, and helps TO produce that de-
IciOus sense Of nerve soothing, an in
ClinatiOn TO rest without any due sense
Of fatigue, and a deiTe to sleep. Ju-

who are anemiC, for It increases the

Exercise is as essential TO our health
as IS proper food, and massage In a
great measure takes the place of exeT-
the muscles and builds the tissues.
For this one kueads with the knuckles.
A firm but not violent touch is needed.

Apron Important
Pazt in Household

There is more to maids apron than
meets the eye of the uninitiated. and the
status of a housekeeper may be judged
greatly from It. That # shall be fresh,
everyone WIZ agree. and in the Hight
of that assent II Is extraordinary how
often one sees a maid open a front door
wearing an apron that shows decided
marks af dirty work.
This is really inexcusabIe, for II the
family income is 50 limited that the
maid does certain tasks which are dirty,
her white apron may stin be kept
fresh. This is accomplished by having
her. wear a cOIored one over the white
while at work: and II she doorDell rings

Next 90 neatness, trIgness is a sine
qua non OF white aprons. Holes are
absolutely inexcusable and when the
STYLE of having btbs and shoulder straps
IS worn the latter should be snugly fast
Cned at the back so that there VIII be
no danger of their slipping down over
the shoulder like very decollete even
ing bodice.
In the last year English rules govern
ing the wearing Of aprons have been
adopted. In many houses where there
is q large menage simplicity may be
taken as the guiding principle, frilly
and fanciful affairs are generally Ia
boOed, and linen, cambria, and some
times muslin, are the materials en-
plOyed.
Housemands wear in the mornings
long linen aprons. gathered into d band
at the waist, and extending light round
to the back. the hem being one and one
half to two inches wide.
In the afternoon. and when dressed,
they wear aprons of muslin, cambria,
or fine linen. made in much the same
way as the morning ones, only they do
not extend quite around to the back,
and are not long. while the hem is
about the same width
P2TlOr maids wear much the same,
only their aprons may be made with
bibs or straps. which are not required
for housemaids.
Laundry maids wear large linen
aprons with bibs while kitchen and
scullery maids wear aprons similar to
those for the hOusemaids, of COarser
linen. either white or blue. These over
ais are worn over clean white ones, so
that they can easily be removed when
required.

QUAINT FASHION OF HAVING
SMALL BOYKISS WOMANS HAND

To be well hammered when they are
grown children should have pOuteness
and the small courtesies of life early
instilled into them. a pleasing manner
helps either a man or a woman in the
battle of life. and politeness is never
thrown away. There is no doubt but
that it adds to a persons attractive
ness, and so I say do train your chill
dren In the little graces that are not
''airs" but important
Etiquette for little folk today is as
clearly defined as is that for their ED
ers, but the underlying rule of good
breeding changes little. Thank you"
IS quite as good form as ever, and it is
a mistake some persons have in think
ing that a certain Indifference to small
Courtesies denotes sayoire faiTe To the
contrary. savOire faire is shown by the
graciOusness in which the most trifing
service is received.
A woman cannot begin too early 10
train her child 70 say Thank you"
even to servants.
Women who insist upon the most ap-
proved form for their children have the
persons name repeated always at the
end of Il sentence, or instead Of
ma am or ''sir." For instance, il is
considered better form for a child to
say, yes, mother" than yes, ma am"
AT the end Of the sentence the name is
supposed to be used always, as. for in
stance, if the child is answering a ques-
ton OF Mrs Smiths. he says, Yes. Mrs
Smith,, not Yes. ma'am." as in the
days of old. This is trihing change,
but it denotes the carefully trained
child.
One Of the prettiest old customs re-
vived is that for little girls who now
always courtesy when being introduced
TO an older person. 1t is not the deep
sweeping courtesy of the minuet but a
little bobbing dip. more like that of the
milk maid IL a light opera chorus. 1t
takes not more than a second ana is
done by putting the right foot a little
behind the left. raising the right heel
and bending the right knee a little.
With the left hand at the same time the
child holds her little skirt near the
hem and sureads it the merest tTifle. II
is extremely pretty and quaint.
This form of SALVATION among girls
has quite done away with the hand
shake. but II an older person offers the
hand the child should be taught TO take
il Immediately the courtesy has been
given.
The European custom of clicking the
heels together IN military fashion and
bowling deeply from the waist down is
coming into vogue for the pest bred

Many farmers are short of
horses for putting in grain crops,
and are epdeavorine to hire teams.
The high prices and strong demand
induced many of them to sell
horses that they could i'll afford
to spare They expected longer

has been cut short by continued
heavy rains, aud now the need of
more teams is keenly felt on many
farms. The condition will probably
result in smaller acreage of grain
than is usual.
