Ordinary sour buttermilk is better
sonic, is a better food than was ever
bottled or boxed up by the chemist or
doctor. Buttermilk is a yety hearty
food. Two glasses a day is enough
for any one. This should be drunk
with meals, or else should not be taken
within two hours of a meal, says Nc
Calls Magazine. Time should be given
for it to thoroughly digest before any
thing else is taken into the stomach.
1t lakes buttermilk considerably over
an hour TO digest, and TO drink another
glass before the first one is. digested
is only to stir up difficulty with the
digestive organs. Really, the best way
to drink buttermilk is with the meals,
though it may be drunk between meals
as a sort of easily digested lunch.

If the baby has a rash the young
mother is likely to jump to the conclu-
sion Immediately that it has measles
or scarlet fever, which is seldom the
case. The measles develop on the
face, but the physician can see it first
in the mouth. The eruption shows
swelling and blotches between that are
moon-shaped. In scarlet fever the
spots are so near that they seem to
run into one another, though each little
speck is closely defined Before the
doctor comes no solid food should be
given the child and spoonful of cas-
tor oil may safely be administered.
Do not hang curtains around the
baby's cot. Children need plenty of
air, especially when sleeping Do not
place the cot in a position where the
light will fall on the child's eyes; nor
in draught. Do not make up the
baby's bed on the floor The air is most
pernicious near the floor, and purest
in the middle of the room.

Woman1y Qualities That Men Like.
The qualities III woman that win
a mans love are various, but they may
all be summed up in one word, and
that word is w6mannneSs. The highest
testimony we can give to true woman
hood is to acknowledge that its attriD-
utes are the sweetest and the most at
tractive to be found in life Gentle
ness-that is one thing man looks TOT
In the woman he wants for his wife
Not the Ioud-tongued war of selfish
seeking, not the restless desire TO as
gert herself and drive all others from
the field a rgentlewomaE - woman
who recognizes her highest rights 70
womanhood, and does not discredit
them by fiinging them in the worlds
teeth.
A man loves a woman who is true.
1t is part of his view Of the woman
he wants to make his own that she is
an angel. He credits her with all good
ness and all nobility of soul. If he
sees her trying to attain it, however
hard the struggle, he admires and re-
spects her, whatever his own aims may
be. But when she pretends 70 be good
and isn't-when she talks of noble
deeds and never tries to do them
when she tells him he is all the world
to her, and shows him by her conduct
that he is not, when he detects the
humbug; men are much quicker to find
out than women, and his respect and
his love go.
A woman must be loving-in mans
ideal of her. She should have that ten
derness which is one of her chief
charms. Loving in spirit, not in word
alone, though her words must have gra-
ciousness, and never be rude or unkind.
She must show the soft side of her ma
ture, not the thorny one. He gets plen-
ty of that from his own sex.
Just as it is his strength and his
manliness that seem to her his most adj
mirable possessions, SO he looks to find
in her what is lacking in himself.
Above all, a man looks to find a
woman sympathetic, full Of interest in
them.-Exchange

Breadwinning Capacity.

It Is of the utmost Importance that
every human being be fitted for bread
winning. The San Francisco catas-
trophe taught bitter lesson to thou
sands of easy going mortals. Physi-
clans who had spent years in building
up practice found themselves obliged
to begin again at the bottom with
young men full of ambition. The rich
had a first taste of bitterness in being
obliged to share hardships with fam
lilies that had hardened in adversely.
Some of these will never recover from
the blow because they have no ability
to earn a living. Those who are better
equipped will find opportunities of
which they can make use.

sbe1es with afternoon and evening
gowns.
Velvet ribbon, plain or set with jew
els, is worn around the neck when the
gown is decollette. 1t is invariably seen
with the Dutch neck, which is now so
popular.
Dainty white batiste shirtwaists are
shown with Marie AntOlnette frllls,

Very pretty princess lingerie dresses
are made of French null IN white,
pink, light blue and hellotrope. They
are trimmed on the skirt and waist
with valenciennes lace.
Some of the newest sleeves are made
with bewitching little puffs above the
elbows, and cuffs fastening just below.
Another cuff is of lace which reaches
halfway down the forearm.
The feather pin Is a jewelry novelty
which threatens to be as popular as
the horseshoe and the swastika. A
coral setting in the center Of the quill
is used with gold, and turquoise with

A pretty sash, called the japanese
style. is made with wide girdle, short,
fiat bow, and long ends. Another style
is the Dutch loop made in a large puff
of soft silk and two long ends which
are finished with fringe.
There is a new hair ornament of
twisted purple velvet, wired, with clus-
tiers of black currants over the right
ear, and white over the left. This fruit
is made of silvery tinsel and few
natural colored leaves are put with it.
Necklaces with stones to match the
gowns are the latest craze. A slender
gold chain with pear-shaped mother-of-
pearl pendant is very popular and can
be worn with any costume. Amethysts
and topaz are more becoming to most
women than the more brilliant stones.

The Lingerie HIT

The lingerie hat has ceased to be a
frilly affair. 1t is huge, bell-shaped,
and whether of cretonne or of embroid-
cred batiste, or of Irish lace or of cam
brio embroidery, the stuff is stretched
smoothly over the frame. A border of
ribbon or of straw is used, and the lin
ing may also be Of either of these ma

gauze ribbons printed with gay bou-

cretonne hat has nothing but a quilting
of old rose ribbon to trim it, old rose
lining it, and a hat in embroidered
cambria is entirely inundated by a
shower of white aigrettes that almost
hides its foundation.

To Clean Wall Paper.

These directions for cleaning wall pa
per are likely to be of service to many
a housewife. Proceed as follows: Cut
into eight portions loaf of bread two
days old. With one of these pieces,
after having blown off all the dust from
the paper by means Of bellows, begin
at the top of the room, holding the
crust in the hand, and wiping lightly
downward with the crumb, about half a
yard each stroke until the upper part
of the paper is completed all around.
Then go around again, with the like
sweeping stroke a very little higher
than where the upper stroke finished,
till the bottom is faished. This opera
ton, If carefully performed, will often
make very old paper look almost equal
to new.
Great caution must be used not TO
rub the paper hard, nor to attempt
cleaning it in the horizontal way. The
dirty part of the bread, too, must be
continually cut away, and the place re
newed when necessary.

White Ben shape.

Small, white bell-shaped hat, it's
dip brim edged with black velvet.
Around the high, square crown, bands
of black velvet ribbon form a lattice
over loops of similar ribbon, which are
set on perpendicularly so that the
upper portions reach to top of crown
and lower edges extend to edge of
brim. On the left side the velvet is
arranged in choux, separated by knots
of velvet, the lower chou finished with
pointed ends slightly wired so that
they will stand out from the hat brim.
The lace yoke and collar Of the gown
worn with this hat are trimmed
slightly with black velvet, and a fluffy
net boa gives additional width to the
figure.

women Addicted to prugs.

It is said that New York and other
large cities are full of sanitariums for
women who are addicted to intoxicants.
And it is not always pure alcoholic
drinks that bring about the condition,
for many women indulge in so-called
''tonics" that bring them to the verge
of mental and physical collapse. The
drink habit is said not to be confined
to any one class of women, society
women and professional women as well
as women OF The poorer classes being
equally unfortunate in this respect.

In the case of a soiled veil there is
no remedy except by washing entirely.
If, however, when fair price has
been paid, the color becomes changed,
and there is something wrong with the
dye, If returned to the store where
bought it may be exchanged for a per

be clipped whenever they appear and,
needless to say, all wells will last long
er if carefully folded or rolled and put
away after each wearing.
