face with green soap. Don't use cold
cream or anything oily when the acne
persists. What is needed is some dry
ing application like spirits of camphor
to dry the poisonous liquids and to
cause the old ska to shed itself In
tiny particles.
If your teeth are set rather far apart,
thus allowing particles of food to
lodge between them, then use a quill
toothpick or dental floss. Needless to
say this must be done in the privacy
of your room and not at the table. II
tartar is inclined to form at the root

and acid fruits and occasionally use
magnesla Rinsing the mouth out with
a solution of camphor is also benefl-
cial. A great many foreigners found
in the working class OF today have ex-
cellent white teeth, well preserved. and
physicians say this is caused by the
almost universal use of salt for clean
ing their teeth. This Is not recon-
mended for a twice-a-day method, but
by using It two or three times week
great benefit will result. 1t destroys
many deposits that are injurious TO
the teeth and gives frmness to the
gums.

Rules of Calling All Should Observe

Many pleasant friendships and &C
I quaintances have been missed in this
world by ore person waiting for the
other to call. and neither of them
ever making the first break. There are
certain set rules about the first call
that everybody should observe.
The stranger who moves to your
town and the bride who has Just come
there 10 live must wait for the older
Inhabitants O call upon her. This call
should not be delayed from day to day
and week to week, for it is hardly a
compliment to your new neighbor.
Give her a chance to get settled. and
some afternoon go over and see her.
If you are married you should leave
one of your own cards and two of
your husbands. This call should be
returned by the newcomer within a
fortnight.
This same rule will, of course, apply
when you are entertaining friends
from out of town, and they are de-
serving Of immediate attention In
the way of calls. If you have a friend
who has a girl visiting her, you should
call on them both within a day or
two. At this call you need only stay a
short time, and it can be informally
made in the morning if you know
the hostess very well. If you are so
situated in your home life that YOU
can entertain this friend and her
guest during the latter's stay Won
you should ask them over for super.
an afternoon at cards, or some slight
form of entertainment. The friend
and her guest must then return YOUR
call within few days.
This same rule will of course. applv
to you when friend is visiting In
your home. The other girls in your
home town must cali at once, and if
possible, offer some return Of the hos
pitality you showed their guest.
Perhaps one of the most dreaded
calls, and one so often delayed. is the
call of coincidence. In time of grier

Care of Furniture.


There are many little hints the fol.
lowing of which will prolong the life
of some valued piece of furniture or
article of bric-a-brac far beyond its
natural penod of existence.
How many persons. for instance,
think that when they place a good
chair or table near an open fireplace.
a register, or any very warm spot,
the heat will cause the wood and glue
to dry, thus bringing about dry rot
where the pieces are Joined together?
How many women do not lean care
lessly against the back of some pol-
ished wood chair. quite oblivious OF
the fact that the sharp belt buckles
they are we"ring are making great
scratches that can never be eradi-
Gated?
Then, too. there are the little sug.
gestions in the care of ornaments. so
seldom either known or carried out
For instance. probably very few per.
sons, indeed, clean glass lamp globes,
window panes, etc. properly Espec-
tally for the former, the best thing is
to place pulverized pumice stone be-
tween the layers of folded piece of
soft muslin, and stitch around the
edges to prevent the powder from spill
ling. Wipe the glass with this dry
cloth. and it will become clean and
sparkle almost instantly Enough
powder will remain on the cloth to
be used many times without renewing.
another good idea is to keep a wet
sponge in the cabinet with ivory GU
rios or carvings. It will provide
moisture that prevents cracking
from dry heat. OF course, the sponge
must be remoistened occasionally.
Often even valuable china is de-
fective in the firing. and so 1t would
be well to keep all acids as lemon,
vinegar, etc, away from fine china.
as in the event of its not being prop
erly fred the acid will take all the
paint from it.
AS guard against accident, when a
valuable vase is filled with flowers,
it should first be partly filled with
sand, over which the water should be
poured. This will keep the vase from
topping over by adding to its weight.
And all these are only few of the
useful hints that might be given, and
which every housewife should take

I what you must say.
There are times when two women
will meet at the home of some mutua
friends. they find they are congenia
and exchange cards. Then the cues

perhaps, good rule to follow that Il
one of them is married and the other

1t matters not whether you went to
the function or not the fact that YOU
were invited demands that you call
on the hostess. These calls should be
made within two weeks of the dinner.
ball, reception or luncheon. Ii you do
not call, your hostess has every rea-
son to feel offended and to realize
that her hospitality was not desired.

in informal calls, where YOU STAY.
perhaps an hour, you may remove
