ENGLISH LOTION FOR DARKENING THE
TRESSES.
Mrs. Thompson.-I am very pleased that you
found the prescribed treatment so beneficial. If
your sisters condition is similar to yours, l see
no reason why the same treatment would not
produce equally happy results.
/ am giving YOU an old English lotion for
darkening the hair 1t is not a dye, as you see,
but merely facilitates the operation of Nature.

DELICIOUS AND WHOLESOME BATH BAG.
An Admirer.-I am sure that you will find
bath bags delightful Personally, l prefer them
to the perfumed tablets, These merely give the
water pleasing odor, whereas the contents of
the bags work their way directly into the skin,
cleaning the pores and leaving the skin velvety

They are made by filling thick muslin or thin

SAVIOR. Let this soak in the water before entering
the bath, and make splendid lather all over the
skin; II you use this only two or three times a
week it will make the body smooth
But each bag is good for only twice using; once
sour it does more harm than good. 1t is great
secret in most toilet preparations to use them
while fresh. There is most delightful cream
which works veritable wonders if employed as
soon as it is made, and never after it has been
mixed more than week or so. Blanch for the
purpose four ounces of sweet almonds and pound
them till they are quite smooth, add the yolks
of three eggs, and mix with fresh milk or cream
boil as you would custard, stirring all the time,
and remove as soon as 1t thickens then add the
perfume you prefer. Seal while hot.
STEAMING THE FACE INJURIOUS.
Mary RESTRAINING the face is the most harm
full thing in the world 1t robs the tissues of the

| Another exercise which will also greatly assist
in balancing the body is the following:
| Exercise No. Stand easily right foot in ad
vance as though about to take step, resting
the weight on the right foot. Then raise the left
foot about an inch from the floor, and balance the
body upon the right. The same should then he
practiced with the left foot in advance
The next two exercises are for the stiff walker
and are of peculiar value in helping to eradicate
the muscular tension and rgidity which are the
cause of so much injury.
Exercise No. 4.-Stand easily, taking the weight
on the left foot; then raise the right leg until
the foot is raised two three inches from the
floor Relax the muscles of the leg and allow
the foot to fall to the foor and then practice the
same with the weight falling on the right foot
Exercise No. 5.-With weight on right foot
allow the left leg to swing freely backwards and
forwards, the movement covering an area of about
three feet, and then reverse.
Exercise No. 6 is for relaxing the carriage
Stand erect with the feet close together; then,
without removing the feet from their position
allow the weight to fall upon the right foot let.
ting the knee of the left leg relax so as to bend
slightly. Then straighten the left leg and let the
right relax. ,~I.,.

to side. Gradually as the chest expands the lungs
develop, and the muscles of the waist become
stronger
To balance the body correctly and to remedy
the short, mincing STEP the next exercise will be
useful.
Exercise No. 2.-Stand erect, with the weight
upon the right foot, carry the left leg far behind
the right, resting the toe upon the floor. Then
raise the left leg, and sweep it around in front
and to the right as far as possible, resting the
toe upon the floor. Thus the left foot will de-
scribe a complete circle, and the same exercise
should be performed with the right leg. taking
the weight upon the left, and sweeping the right
foot round in circle.

The Ar1 of Keeping Young

Instead of becoming entirely absorbed in the

weekly counting up of the grocers BILL they snent
most OF ther time among young people, When
the son and heir brought his friends home, thev
went down stairs and laughed and ioked with
them, steadily making it their habit to be heartily
amused at all the foolish young things thew did
and said. They never sat up stairs with the
evening paper or basket full of mendng, nor
ever called down from time to time that The
noise gave them headache.

| they made it so pleasant for them that they nre

Thus, by surrounding themselves with vcunr

could not help staying young. The woman with
nerves does not stay young. Nerves arc 49,

The mother who does not take the troub, J..

she fills her mind with the thoughts Of ana

Finally, the woman who is afraid of eettno -,

On, OF course, MIS- SnlJn loohs yo"hS
doesn't she come of a family who
stay young?"-just as if the art of keeping young
we're something that could be inherited.
1t is something that every woman desires, of
course, both for the sake of gratifying her van
ity and of preserving her health. She knows
that if she can solve the secret she will not only
enjoy life and the reflection her mirror throws
back to her, but that she will be source of
envy to her less fortunate sisters and what woin-
an did not enjoy the latter sensation most keeny?
1 don't know whether you are one of the un-
fortunates, but if you are, you may cheer up
right away, for it can be done. l knew woman
once who, although past sixty, had not gray hair
in her head, who had eyes as bright girl,
and who walked with the same springy, elastic
gait that her daughter had. Her skin was as
smooth and as pink babys, and her arms
and hands as rounded and as dmpled as her
granddaughter's Her throat was little wrin-
kled, but when she was dressed for the street
you would have sworn she was not a day over

THROWING OFF TROUBLE.

In her case think the secret was that she had
trick of throwing off trouble, and of always
looking on the bright side of things She had
had more than her share of trouble, too for
she had lost five children, and two of the re-
naming four had not turned out well. Besides
that, her husband had failed in business, thua
reducing her from luxury to a position of COM
parative poverty.
But she kept her bright eyes and her girlish
smile. her pink skin and her brown hair to the
very last. Instead of reckoning up how much
trouble she had, and how badly fate had treated
her, she counted up her blessings, and noted how
much more harshly fate had treated her neigh.
bors. She sympathized with other peoples trou.
bles rather than her own, and thus kept her
mind SO busy that she had no time for self-pity.
You may note right here that self-pity is one
of the greatest enemies to youth that was ever
known.
Another is worry. Now, worry is ridiculous on
the very face of it, for it was never known to
control nor to reveal the future yet, and as it
cannot do either of these things, what is the
use of letting it spoil your complexion?
PRESCRIPTION FOR SUNSHINE.
Three smiles a day, and as many in between
meals as you can get in, followed at night by a
vigorous massage with cold cream, and there you
are If you grow old on that prescription, you
don't deserve to stay young that's all
A young man remarked to me the other day,
"Do you know, l just made an awful idiot of
myself. / was introduced to couple of girls
the other day. and one of them looked pretty
good to me, so l tried to make date with her.
1t turned out that she not only married but
