She is, though. an interesting study.
Her motives are sincere, SO un-

One accepts sordidness as inevitable, and turns
to her as its very opposite.
In her, purity of mind triumphs over earthly
weakness.
What sweet dreams the "Sentimental C;rp,

places the object of her affections! and how of.
ten, sad to tell, she is woefully disappointed!
1t is not the mans fault, either. She simplv
builds too fine statue.
And yet how one say to her: "Man is
not SO noble as you sweetly think him."
Besides, the Sentimental Girl" should not
be discouraged,
She does good, endless good; but. cruelty for

For her ideals il she is imbued with the true

She raises a man to her own pure plane. or
else she is unhappy. And be it remembered
the world is frequently pulling in the opposite
direction.
After all, the Sentimental Girls" happiness
in life depends upon the sort of man she tries TO

Some are hopeless.

spring hands is made by combining seven ounces
of powdered talcum, one ounce of salicylic acid
and two ounces of powdered prepared chalk. At

CARE OF THE HANDS IN WINDY MARCH

0Ahh Of IHE HANDS IN WINDY MARCH
"A C.-March, with its blustery, biting winds,
is hard on the housekeeper's hands. Careful dry
ing OF the hands after washing is most inn
portant detail, as very often the chapping of the
hands is due to imperfect drying. The hands, of
course must be kept thoroughly clean, and a
piece OF prepared pumice stone should be in the
toilet outfit to remove stains, ETC., though for
housewives pumice stone soap may be recon-
mended as excellent for it's cleansing properties.
Washing in outmeal water is also good where
the hands are inclined to become rough and red.
1t is easily prepared as follows:
Boil about teacupful of meal to gallon OF
water for an hour, strain, and use the liquid for
washing in night and morning. Half the quan.
tity of starch added to the oatmeal will much
increase it's whitening effect. Rubbing with lem.
on juice is also advisable for the same purpose
but should not be used daily

weak children are made strong and those con-

by exercises that invigorate and strengthen their

WHY A CHILD is WEAK AND SICKLY.
A weak child, irritable and cross is one who
has been deprived of sufficient bodily exercise in
the open; for in the very outdoor games a child
may stave off illness which frequently comes to
older ones who are less fond of exercising than
