Hands A1e Expressive

The hands are fully as expressive as
the face. The most beautiful face will
lose its charm II accompanied by hands
which are not well grOOmed and cared
for. The beauty Of the hands is just
as dependent upon the health az is'the
complexion A hand cannot be beau
tifuI unless II is useful looking. An
undevelOped hand Is not beautiful: a
hand TO be beautiful must look as II II
could do its share Of the worlds work.
Even the woman who does all her own
homework can keep her hands white
and soft. 1t is not necessary to buy
high priced toilet articles for the hands
If one is careful in washing and drying.
After the hands have been IN water they
should be thoroughly dried and then
rubbed in powdered starch. IL the
hands are not too sOiled they should be
washed in ordinary breakfast oatmeal
instead Of soap. Two tableSpoonfUls of
the oatmeal are put into muslin bag,
bag IN water and squeezing.
After the hands have been in water
until they have become shrunken and
withered they may be dipped or rubbed
in vinegar. Unavoida bic stains may be
removed with the juice of a tomato or
lemon. Ink stains may be removed by
wetting the sulphur end Of a match
and rubbing II upon the stain. Any
stronger Odor which Clings to the hands
may be removed by rubbing dry mus
tard over the hands or by putting them
in water which contains a little mus
tard.

The pretty, simple marcel wave

TO is IN danger OF being robbed OF its
popularity by the sitter, more elaborate

There seems TO be no special posi-

see them at the top OF the head, in

and sometimes peeping between the
waves OF hair forming the pompadour.
This IS fortunate IN sense, as the
couture may then be made to suit the
face.
The parted hair rolled back, with little
curls arranged around the back OF the
head from ear to ear. is girlish looking
viewed from every point.
And the same couture may be adopted
by q matrou by giving the pompadour

Don't Sit On Your Nerves

Physical culture teachers not only
agree that women expend too much
energy while going through the daily

Pumpkin Soups

In France the potage de potiron, or
pumpkin soup. is an Important item OF
the winter menus, especially in families
where the expense account must be
small. At any little "conhserie' Madame
can buy a slice OF potiron for cents,
and with a quart OF milk and five min
utes' boiling will have 4 delicious and
nourlshing soup for three or four peO-
pie. costing Z cents.
Here is her simple recipe:
To one cup Of cooked pumpkin. one
quart Of milk. Cut the pumpkin IN
small pieces, sprinkling lightly with salt,
and cook IN boiling water for FIVE min
utes. Drain of the water. mash thor
ouEhly, and stir I'm a tablespoonful OF
NOT melted butter. Pour boiling milk
over croutons arranged In soup dish and
lightly sugared Then add the pump
kin, stirring the whole we'll together,
and serve
People who ordinarily do not care for
the pumpkin flavor find this soup a
pleasant surprise, Tor in this disguise
the pumpkin takes on the flavor OF
rich cream Of corn. 50 let them add
one moro blessing 10 their thankful list
and celebrate the day with their first
Thanksgiving pumpkin soup.
A French luncheon served recently
was as follows;

Staining a Floor

Many housekeepers like 10 economic
by staining their own floors, nor IS the
PROCESS difficult IF proper care Is taken
See that the floor IS scrubbed clean
and free from dust and have the proper
brushes, a fat, wide one for tho main
part Of the floor, and smaller ones for
the corners and along the "ainscOting.
Begin at the corner farthest from the
door and work smoothly and evenly in
IRREGULAR rather than straight lines
Rub the color well into the gain OF the
wood
ANY desired color or preparation may
be used. Your painter viii NIX II for
you or ThcTe are various prOpT.cIuTy az
tiClcs that give good results.
Soft woods absorb more stain than
hard. but the ordinary proportions are
a quart Of stain to fifteen square yards
of flooring and a half pint of Varnish-
Be careful to have your brushes abso-
lutelv clean and keep the room closed
while the stain is drying.
