 For instance, Q jewel box or ceiluloid, decorated with dainty wreaths of hand. painted roses or punches of miniature forget-me-nots and lined with cream colored or white silk. have never before been a part of the essentials of q young ciiiid's dressing table, but now that they have been introduced for the use ot babies' pins, necklaces. brooches and rings they are bound to De popular.

Many housekeepers are annoyed at finding their irons rusty after they have been put away few days.
 The way to prevent this is. before putting them away. rub a little warm grease over them and then wrap in brown paper. When you take them out to use dip them in hot soapy water that has a small piece of soda In 1t. rub dry and then put to heat in the usual way.
 WORTH THE TROUBLE
 1t seems rather lengthy process. but 1t really does mot take long to do. and housewives will be rewarded for the trouble they have taken by finding the irons delightfully."- smooth and easy to use.
 Flatirons should never be left where the steam from the cooking can reach them, as that will cause them to rust Always set the irons away on the ends rather thanS on the flat surface. and never allow the iron to get red hot. An iron that has once been red hot will never retain it's heat so we'll after wards.
 If there is much or little ironing to do 1t is well to have an asbestos holder. To make 1t. get a piece of plaoie as- bestos cloth. four by six inches. and stitch 1t carefully between two pieces or soft. rather thick stun, a little larger than the asbestos. to allow for turn ing in.
 Asbestos. which transmits very little heat. will save the hands from that scorched, tender feeling which Is the uri- pleasant consequence of using an srdi- nary holder.

PlRSe heavy Turkish toseel on the board and put the front of tlIe waist on this- Then iron on the Ss=aEg side. This VII make the embroidery stand out beautifVfy. When ironing between buttons on shirtwaist. place buttons down on Q folded Turkish towel. and Iron on the wrong side. The spaces will be found ironed perfectly.

waist. take a piece of muslin. wiring 1t out of cold water and brush article with the cloth.
 When ironing bahy's dresses or small skirts, one often finds 1t hard to iron on large board. By turning the skirt wrong side out you can still iron on the right side and not wrinkle the parts ai- ready ir0ned.
 In ironing lace. one of the points to remember is to iron we'll in the width, so that the whole design of the lace will show clear and distinct and look as much like new material as possible.
 To do this, the lace must be carefully pulled to, the width. and then placed carefully on the table wrong side up and ironed along the straight edge. hold ins. the lace up in front of the iron, so that the toe of the iron may press the lace to the width and also keep the sell wage strairht
 Again. place the lace fiat on the table and iron across the width. pressing the toe of the iron into each part until 1t Is quite dry.
 If the lace has a raised pattern, a thick piece of felt or three folds of ordi- nary blanket may be slipped under the ironing sheet and the lace ironed over 1t, This will raise the work consider ably.
 Very fine lace. like woolens and em- bFoideries. should be iFoned through muslin and never touehed with the bare metal
 FOR NEEDLE PIECES
 Tn ironing handsome needle pieces it will be found the best plan to lay the pieces inverted over several layers of cotton. the top layer of which has been slightly dampened.
 m battenberg pieces the linen should be pinned to the ironing board and ironed out smoothly. afterward the lace ironed outward from the center of the linen.
 Do not starch fringed articles. To make the fringe iron out smoothly lay. the article ,on the ironing board and with a coarse-tooth comb or whtsk/broom comb or brush out the fringe.

A Perfectly
 Well Woman Tells Suffering Sisters How
 She Was Cured. HAD DIZZY SPELLS AND WOULD REEL AND FALL. Was Subj ct to Headaches, We'k, Nervous and Depressed-Dr Williams Pink Pills Saved
 Her Life.

Her Liie,
 Bright eyes. rosy cheeks. an elastic step and good appetite should be the birthright of every American girl.
 Pale. sallow, languid girls and wo- men have either inherited i'll health or have disregarded some rule of right living.
 But Nature is constantly striving to restore the natural, healthful condition and. with proper aid. will do so in most cases.
 A TONIC FOR WOMEN.
 Dr Williams Pink Pills are q tonic especially adapted for girls and women of all ages and give Just the aid re- quired to bring health and strength to the nervous and exhausted.
 Mrs Frank Hensell. of Augusta, Mich. says that she is perfectly well woman and her appearance does not show that she has ever been ill in her life. But short time ago she was an almost hopeless invalid as she tells in the following interview:
 PAINS IN THE BACK.
 "I was badly run down in health a few years ago." she says. land had terrible fainting spells. I would often stagger and reel until dropped. The blood rushed to my head at these times, giving me raging headaches. 1 be- came weak, nervous and depressed and had aching pains in the small of the back and Joins. My stomach was sour, liver torpid and the whites of my eyes and my complexion Iwere yellow. l had a cold most all the time 1and coughed until my friends thought that 1 must have consumption.
 SURE THEY SAVED HER LIFE.
 "I had taken all kinds of medicines and paid doctors bills until l was dis couraged. l received no benefit from their medicine and might as well have taken so much cold water. At last l made up my mind to try Dr Williams Pink Pills and bought them. It was marvellous to see the great improve ment in my health after l had taken the pills only short time. 1 continued their use and have been a perfectly well woman ever since, do all of my work and have no more need of medi- cine. 1 am cerain Dr Williams Pink Pills saved my life.
 Many women suffer as Mrs Hensell did and we want all of themsto know that there is remedy suited exactly for their condition. Thousands have taken this treatment with equally good result.
 A helpful book. "Plain Talks to Wo- men" will be sent to any address upon request in plain sealed envelope.
 Dr Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or direct by mail, post paid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for $2.5O, by the Dr Williams Medicine Company, Sche- nectady, N. Y.
