BATH" and wouldn't be a bad thing to
try II 1t was not named at all: Make
up dozen cheese cloth bags about a
foot square. Fill them with oatmeal
and pure white CASTLE soap shaved
fine-two-thirds oatmeal and one-third
soap. Put in the bag a teaspoonful of
boraS and some orris root or lavender
flowers. or anything of that kind that
You like as a perfume. Have about IL
gallons of water for your bath, and
make it pretty warm. Use the bag for
la wash rag. and you will come out of
eaeh bath feeling as tho you had the
skin of baby. OF course one bag will
only do for one bath, and the contents
will then have to be thrown away: but
the cheese cloth can be wasn't and used
till it breaks in holes.
Try this on your bangs if they posi-
ttively refuse to stay curled: Wash them
twice week in soft water in which Is
lone part alcohol and dry them CAREFUL
~ That Is about the best and safest
thinS TO keep them free from oily mat
Ter. The one who uses it, however
must remember that this will have \
tendency to make the hair little light
ter. Hair dressers moisten the fringe
with diluted bay rum before curling.
Use moderately hot iron.
I III you use an iron that is very hot IL
VIII deaden the life in the hair, and in
q little while you will find that your
hair will not stay in curl at all, and
that you Will have to let it rest up."
An iron that will not ''siz" is best. Wrap
the hair around it, and let it stay there
till it does not feel in the least moist,
ana when you release the hair you will
find that the curis will be soft and fluffy.
Try kissing the little ones when they
have done right, or you a favor and
then when they disobey refuse to kiss
| them for stated time. This plan often
works well with children upon whom
whipping does not seem to have the
| slightest effect. There are children in
the world that whipping does not i'm
prove. The more you whip the more
| stubborn they get. They can, however,
be reached thru their love, and if you
withhold appreciation from them you
can more easily win than if you punish
by whipping. But however you under
take to punish carry it to the end. Once
giving in before you have conquered
will be much worse than never having
attempted to correct it.
All men, as we'll as women, like to
be understood. Sympathy is their great
lest help, and no woman who is self
centered. who is vain and thinks only
of herself will gain the highest regard
of man. She may be exquiSitely beau-
feet but she cannot bestow that Won
derful happiness a plain little woman
full of sympathy gives to her husband.
If you see anything that is worthy Of
praise, speak of it. Even if you cannot
do worthy deed yourself, commend
one VINO does. Praise is a power for
good; both God and man prize it. No
prayer Is complete without praise. The
best worker for his fellows who fails to
give praise fails of doing as we'll as he
can.
'Tis the chief glory of the high and
mighty to be gracious, a prerogative Of
Kings to conquer universal good WILL
/ That is the great advantage of a COM
Imanding poSition-to be able to do more
good than others. Those make friends
who do friendly acts. On the other
hand, there are some who lay them
selves out for not being gracious, not
on account of the difficulty, but from
a bad disposition. In all things they
are the opposite of divine grace.
A great many of the mysterious head
aches with which women are afflicted
must be put down to overstraining the
eyes: and this kind of headache can
only be cured by giving the eyes a tnoro
rest. and when a cure has been effect
ed great care in the use of the eyes in
future is Indispensable. Reading, writ
ing or sewing in a dim and Pickering
light must be given up, and one COM
mon practise of attempting to read in
a Joiting train or omnibus must also be
discarded. The eyes should never be
used too long at time, says Woman's
Life. and when much eye work is nee
essary brief rests and bathings in hot
water should be resorted to, if the
dreaded headache is to be kept at a
distance.
Ten or Is years back every woman
was utilizing the fiat, wavy rick-rack
braid for trimming waists or to adorn
some bit of fancy work. This season
her daughter is following her example,
but as usual with difference.
In its revival rick-rack braid is used
in combination with colored embroid-
cry to make snowy decoration.
The braid, which is generally white,
is used to outline bold and conventional
figures, which are filled with briar-
stitching, cross-bars, seeding or French
knots done in one or two contrasting
tones of heavy silk or floss. Sometimes
both the rck-rack and the embroidery
stitches are dore in white on a colored
pillow. The braid should be securely
tackled on the points, the stitches being
quite long on the underSide.
Most people when setting a fire Law
the wood fiat, criss-cross over the paper
IN the bottom of the CRATE. but let them
try placing the wood sloping from the
sides of the CRATE to the center. This
forms funnel for free passage of air,
and as the flame travels up the stick
more quickly than it does across the
result Is that fewer pieces are required,
and the fire burns up more brightly
and in half the time that it usually
takes, says Woman's Life Then when
placing a lump of coal on the fire IL
