high satin-like sheen and are seen in

cords meet the seasons demand for
novelties. The Royal Stuart. Gordon
and Scotch plaids retain their popu-
larity undiminished by the changing
seasons. They are seen in the new
silk poplins which are in a great re-
quest for separate blouses and shirt
waist suits. The small checks in the

| Notwiths landing the general hue and
cry against the use OF face powders.
l<here is no other toilet preparation
(not excepting soap) that is so uni

tell you that face powders are harm
full, which is decidedly too sweeping a

and few are absolutely harmless. but
the harm resulting from their use is
generally due to the way they are
used, and not to the powder
Face powder should be applied only
| after the face has been thoroughly
cleansed, first with water and after
mass aged with a cream. which must
be thoroughly wiped off with a soft
towel and bathed with a cooling To-
lotion.
If these suggestions are strictly fol-
lowed, reliable face powder may be
used after the morning bath without
the least fear OF any but good effects
Callous spots are most frequently
found on the bottom OF the foot. They
are due to pressure and friction and
often prove very painful. During your
daily bath as much of this hardened
layer as possible should be rubbed and
scraped of. Bind the spot up over
night with cloth saturated in crude
petroleum. This will soften the eallus
Another method Of relief is the strap

ter. This should be smoothly put on
The spots will often entirely disappear
on account OF the action OF the per-
spiFation caused IN this way.
