CARE OF THE HANDS.

To keep the hands soft white while
doing housework means that they must
be constantly cared for or the flesh will
become dry and coarse from the action of
strong soaps and hard water.
Unfortunately most women who do their
own kitchen work are too busy, or too
careless, to give their hands the neees-
sary treatment, and as a result their fin
gers become red.
This condition, which Is not only dis
figuring, but often painful, could be easily
avoided by wearing gloves. To insure COM
fort when working In gloves use those
that are several sizes too Engagements,
for instance, or If a housewife must util-
ize her own old pairs then these should
be slit down the palms so the movements
OF the hands win not be cramped.
If gloves are pulled on while busting,
sweeping, gardening or doing any klnd
OF work that does not involve putting the
hands into water the saving of skin and
nails Is enormous. In this way almost, II
not all, dust Is kept from contact with
hands, AID as a consequence the epider4
mis- does not become dry and hard. Dust
Is one OF the greatest enemies to pretty
hands for the reason that it Sits into the
pores and under the nails at the corners.
Water. Instead of removing. frequently
drives 1t further into such places.

BRIGHTEN AND
RENEW A CARPET

Many a perfectly coed carpet becomes
shabby and worn looking without being
actually old. The figures lose their bright
ness, and the grain is rough and unkempt
looking. Here is a simple process by
which the carpet or rug will once more
look presentable, and as good as new. 1t
Is vouched for by a contemporary.
Cut an ounce of yellow soap into spah
squares. and with them make a lnther
with a pint Of clear boiling water. Add to
this lather a quart of hot water and an
ounce Of borax. Place the mixture on the
range. and bring the entire preparation to
a boil. Remove 1t, set 1t to cool. and when
quite cold add one ounce each Of alcohol
and ammonia, and half an ounce of
glycerin. Wipe over only a small portion
OF the carpet at a time, and rub Vigorous
" with a clean flannel (Which should be
repeatedly turned as It becomes soiledl
dipped into the mixture. until finally all
the spots are removed and the color re-
vived.
The result will be surprising. for the
change and Improvement are remarkable.

TEACH THE LITTLE
ONES TO HELP

Have the school children place their
books where they can be found in the
morning. Get their garments together and
let them assist you clean or let them
aean their own shoes, and give each child
q good washing at night with warm water.
1t save that great annoyance so common
in the morning. Children can do most of
this work themselves and save a lot of
work and worry. Never send n child to
school In an unpresentable condition. The
child m not be at fault and only the
mothers are to blame where little girls
and boys with dirty faces. soiled hands
and unkempt hair come struggling into
school each morning. The children are
punished and wrongfully SO, for it is not
their fault.

Please let me know as soon as possible
how to get a large grease mark off of wall

SO please answer Immediately, and oblige,
MRS. x. L.
To extract the grease stain, mix pow

s~istency Of cream, lay it on the spot and
allow 1t to remain over night, when 1t
may be easily removed with a knife or
brush. The clay will absorb the grease.
Would like to know of a way of remov-
ing traces of chewing gum from a little
girls wooden dress. / saw a remedy in
your paper quite a while ago, but did
not cut it out, as I had no use for it at
the time. Now I want to know very
badly, so am asking you to publish 1t
again, and oblige, INPATIENT.
The gum may be removed with gasoline.
Dip a cloth In the fluid and rub it on the
soiled place. Not a trace of the gum will
remain.

BE careful. Care prevents many
dropped stitches and bad breaks. Be
careful" says one of the current maya
zines, and it is advice that we all
might follow with benefit, for most of
our mistakes and shortcomings are due
to lack OF care as regards details.
To go through the world at a pace
which is steady, though a trife slow,
is better than to run helter-skelter for
a little distance. and then have to stop
short n straighten things out before
one can again take up the journey.
1t isn't the man, or woman, who
makes the biggest splurge who accom-
plishes the most.
Rather is it he who takes his time.
Strengthening out all the little kinks"
so that he has no back tracks to take,
who wins out in the long run.
A little care, mixed into every occu-
patton, will never go amiss.
The smallest deed must be done
right in order to be done we'll.
You can tell the woman who is care
full at a glance. Her hair always shines
from proper brushing, and her but
tons are never missing.
Neither does her skirt sag or her hat
tilt crookedly every time she makes
an emphatic remark.
Not long ago 1 heard a woman lecture
before a large audience. She wore q
large hat, and as her talk continued
her hat slid more and more to n
side, until / lost sight of the points of
her speech in amusement at her comical
appearance. her tilted hat was SO at
odds with her serious topic.
Now, If she had been careful about
pinning her hat securely, the amuse-
ment of many besides myself would
been avoided.
You see. even the very little things
need care.

A PRETTY GOWN
OF SAFFRON HUE.

For years pale saffron has been recog-
nized as a delightful color for a light even
ing gown, and at no time does 1t show to
better advantage than when covered with
soft white tulle. The covering. while dainty
and fairylike in appearance, Is made more
spidery looking by immense thread medal
ions with points stretching out far beyond
the miniature round centre. Naturally
these medallions can only be solid. for the
long points are not unlike teneriffe work.

so trimmed is very handsome, n the dell
cate tracery of lace is also noticed on the
square yoke of the full waist. A shaped
girdle is Of soft yellow satin covered with
lace, and finished at the back with a fancy
bow made with many loops of twisted
satin.

A Hopeful Disposition.

It's a good thing to have a hopeful
disposition. Nothing comes in the
light of serious trouble to the woman
who possesses one. She can see good
In every disaster, and is always able to
see a little ray of light where others
can discover naught but the blacklist
kind of blackness.
The atmosphere of the hopeful
woman's household is always CHEEKY,
for she buoys up each member, car
rying them over the rough places with
out effort, for her optimism is not of
her own cultivation: it is born in her.
Perhaps that is why it is SO easy for
you and l to see the gloomy side of
things-we are not gifted with cheer
full natures at the start. 1t is only too
easy for us to say whats the use"
and to think dolefully that we might as
well give up trying. And this is all
the more reason why we should just
try to trample on our pessimistic g
denotes, until they are dead as the very
deadest kind of door nails.
Cultivated cheerfulness is better than
nc cheerfulness; better in some ways
than the born cheerfulness, for 1t is
significant of untiring effort toward
ones general betterment.
WaiIing Women.
Some women seem to get positive
comfort out of wailing and grieving
over things that ann be helped, and
looking forward dismally to troubles
which, likely as not. will neve come.
But they furnish comfort" to only
themselves. To others they are as the
proverbial wet blanket, and are gener-
ally avoided, even by their sisters OF
like temperament, for the doleful per-
son likes to have the field to herself.
She cannot wall and whine in pepace
when there are other walters" and
"whiners" about to take attention from
her woes.
Before YOU begin to worry about a
dismal situation, think 1t over and try
to see IL there is not a bright side. You
will find it, you may be sure. and when
you do, keep ''thinkin' on It," as
Samanthy Allen says.
what Right Have You to Whinee
You were given eyes in order to see
the bright, funny side of things. Your
windows of the soul' were never
meant to be submerged in unnecessary
tears, but to shine and twinkle, and
send rays of happiness into the hearts
of others.
Why, your little troubles. no matter
how important they seem TO you, can
not hold a candle to the woes of others
in the world. your neX o neighbor,
for all you know. In a way, have
no right at all to wear a long face for
the ways in which o could be worse
off outnumber a thousand times the
ways in which you could better your
self.
Anyway, If you are not contented
now you never will be. No matter how
much you gained you would still have
heights which you would want to climb.
So cultivate a little peace of mind now,
and it will be sure to serve you in the
future, no matter which way your for
tun tends. MOLLIE.
