Which. of course, speaks well for the

wise parent knows this and is able to get
a great deal more good out Of a child by

Teach your child the value of good

the rights of other children, and
you will have very little trouble In
making a good child of him.

ExTRAvAGANCE,

When hearing or reading of a society
womah spending an allowance of thou
sands of dollars a year for dress purposes,
the uninitiated are apt to wonder how
many dresses the woman really possesses.
since such sums would mean a new dress
for every day, or even more. But while
a very large amount may be expended, 1t
does not necessarily imply that the outlay
is all quantity instead of quality. In the
first place the woman must pay fabulous
sums for real lace, and the women devo<
tees of fashion know at a glance the real
laces of great value. says the Woman's
National Daily. Often a single collar will
cost several hundred dollars, and while
not noticeably beautiful, the owner has
the satisfaction Of knowing the pattern is
exclusive. You may rest assured that
these bits of fine lace are kept in use, for
the maid is kept busily occupied removing
the finery from an afternoon gown to be-
deck a ball gown for the evening. Lace
has always been considered an important
asset to the well-dressed woman's ward
robe, consequently she possesses as many
valuable pieces as her means will permit.
An opera cloak may be rather dashing-
looking to the average woman who could
never realize in this hurry, furry fashion
world that the cloak in itself would keep
a moderately large family for one year in
comfort II not luxury. What do they do
with these wraps7 Wear them as long as
they are stylish, after which they are sold
at q reasonably good price and eagerly
purchased by dress lovers, who, renew the
styles to something of the prevailing
mode.

and hats as the countless small articles In
fine shoes, hose, corsets and FINE under.

MANY THINGS
FOR THE B0UDOIR.

Comfort for the feet is now the first con-
sideration with sensible women, and no
longer does one see the palpably tight
shoes, although <ootgear of every KIND
should At the feet of the wearer, and be
In harmony with the gown. The out-of-
door girl wears a wide.soled, square-toed
white canvas or glossy brown leather tie,
usually with spring heels, unless her In
step be exceptionally high, but when IN
the house she exchanges this for the Louis
heeled pump in French or patent KID orna-
mented with a couuettish bow secured with
a bright buckle and worn over SILK Stock
ings. Or she may select those with Span
ish heels, which are infinitely more COM
Portable to walk about In.
Dancing slippers were never daintier.
They come in soft white kid with thin
iexible soles, which any popular girl may
easily dance through In an evening; there
are satin slippers in shades Of pink. blue
or maize to accompany the frocks OF pale
pinks, and there are the Cinderella-pke
affairs In bronze, which make the feet look
eevn smaller than nature intended.
Handkerchiefs have ever been the fad
Of the extremely dainty woman, who finds
It difficult to pass a shop display OF them,
particularly If they are reduced" There
never were such temptations as at the
present time, and in the bordered varl-
cites the shopper is lured by every dell
cate shade imaginable. Prettiest Of all are
those showing fine dots on tiny flowers
printed In pale coiors, with the striped
and checked borders.
Lik shoes, stockings sunshades and
gloves, the handkerchief border matches
the costume, save in the case Of evening
gowns, when only white lincn and lace is
permissible.

decoration have not been more generally
recognized.

only word which describes the treatment
some people give their skin. Why, the

Do you know that when travelling you
never should use soap and water on the
face? 1t make the skin harsh. Cleansing
with a good massage cream keeps 1t soft.

bag of medicated cheese cloth and par
TALLY fill with bran. Keep a pitcher of
buttermilk in your refrigerator and every
time you come In from a ride or tramp
pour a little buttermilk in a bowl, dip

them soft, the buttevmilk removes the tan

KEEP BILLS.

1t is we'll to keep every bill, paid or not,
for an indefnite> period. One never knows
when mistakes may occur or when dis
honesty may be attempted. The steel bill
file are all very well, though they are not
remarkable for their n~eatness or order, but
a better way is to use a large scrap book
and paste the bills in alphabetical order,
according to the names OF those by whom
are preferred, therein. If possible, It
would be we'll to prepare the leaves like
those Of an address book, so that 1t would
be easy, to find any bill at any time. OF
course, this is only a cheaper homemade
substitute for a regular letter file. which is
the very best thing for the purpose.

SECRETS.

Z An old family cook. who was as well
known for her achievements in the culin-
ary line ms for her. cross-grained, selhsh
nature. was often heard to declare, II
gives away my wares, but not my secrets,
and the recipes of none of her mysterious
and delectable viands were ever known to
PASS beyond her own kitchen door. She
had the gift, but she had not round the
secret of enjoying ii.
The gifts that each one of MS possess
are valued at a price high above rubies.
Honor them enough to sometimes take
them from under the bushel and let their
light shine. Have a care lest, not being
used, the little moth of INSTRUMENTATION
or the rust of selfishness destroy them.
If you have a song in your heart, sing
1t. "Music's melting, mystic secret was

next time you are asked to share 1t let
your lips sing, and see how 1t VIII swell

Or II the music is In your fingers. don't
keep II there. 1t may be a very ordinary
accomplishment, or it may be that you
nave the finger of magic whose golden
touch could soften steel and s%tones;' In
either case make use of your touch.
Can you talk well? It's a rare gift, but
all the more in demand. You may hear
with your ears. and understand with your
heart. but if you do not speak with your
lips your personal charm will be far to
seek. 1.-THE tongue is a little member"

WHEN HEATING MILK.

Put the milk in a small tin can, such as
an empty cocoa can. and place 1t in a
basin of hot water. Move it rapidly around,
and in a short time the milk will be warm
enough. When one has a gas or gasoline
stove 1t would be better to heat water over
the blaze than to put milk directly over
fire. where it is apt to boil and become
unfit for baby's tomach.

MARTYR TO SCIENCE.
Curator Ditmars, of New York zoologi-

NEW YORK, Sept. A-Curator Ray
mond L. Ditmars,. Of the New York
Geological Park, has been told by his
physician that his lungs are infected, and
he has left for three months of outdoors
in the mountains in Sullivan County. 1t
is believed that the biologists illness is
owing to his trying to stamp out tuber-
cuIosis among the monkeys in the park.
He has been engaged in that Work all
this year.
He and DR.. W. Reed Blair, veterinarian
at the park, worked indefatigably at
studying the causes for the susceptibility
of monkeys in captivity to tuberculosis, in
order to seek a remedy. In the last five
years tuberculosis has cost the New York
Geological Society many valuable speci-
mens.

THE LUNCH OF
THE SCHOOL CHILD.

If the child goes to school so far from
home that a basket lunch is necessary no
less care should be taken in preparing this
makeshift for a meal. 1t should be put
up daintily, the various kinds of food
being neatly wrapped in oiled paper. TO
send a child to school with a lunch COM
posed of ANY old thing" arranged in a
haphazard manner is to invite all kinds OF
MS to take possession Of the little
stomach.
The first thing. of course, is to be sure
that the lunchbox or basket is absolutely
clean. Then cut several pieces of oiled
paper. In one you may put a number OF
small sandwiches. Thinly sliced whole
wheat bread, with some sensible. filling,
makes the best sandwiches, but there
should be enough of them to assuage the
cravings Of hunger.
In another packet place some tasty
sweet. Avoid pie assiduously, but any
cake that is not too rich and that has only
a plain icing will answer the purpose
nicely. Fruit, too, should be added, with
some crisp rockies or ginger waters, but
do not be tempted to insert n candy
unleas you chance to have a supply OF
absolutely pure maple sugar.
