MAKING AND LOSING FRIENDS.
Reflective Man Points Out Fault Of TIE

ally, he might reflect on what he has
done In the way of keeping up old
friendships. 1t seems to me that peo-
pie drift apart very quickly nowadays.
Absorption in business is one factor
making for this end; another is the
growing disinclination to keep up any
sort OF correspondence, and a third is
tendency, increasing as the years
go by, to let ones personal interest
become more conferred, All of these
things initiate against the making of
new friends, as well as helping to

An Old English Law

We came across a queer little item
in an exchange few sdays ago. 1t
was an old English law passed during
the reign of Queen Elizabeth. Parlia-
ment solemnly enacted, "that any
woman who from that date, would
deceive or cajole into matrimony any
of the SUBJECTS of her majesty by the
use of false hair or any other thing
false in connection with the body, or
by the use of cosmetics, would be
punished as for fraud and deceit,
with intent to cause HARM"
1t was said this law was designed
for the protection in England of the
prosecuted male sex, and no man had
ever had the courage to revoke the
law. and it now stands on the statute
books of England.
1t is very we'll to try and protect
poor, prosecuted men, but the men
in our country don't need such law,
for they marry with their eyes wide
Up6u, huu uUW dlulOSb eNoIy WOndu
they meet in fashionable society is
made up"; and on the wnman's part
there is no effort to deceive and she
goes about her adorning quite openly.
The Gratis" and "mice" that adorn
her head are very perceptible, the
paint on her face shows for itself.
One day you meet a woman with dark
hair; the next it is Ebrlght red or
golden, just as the fashion Of the day
calls for, and so on with the body
false bust, false hips, and anything
else false that adds to the looks. So
il such should be the law in our
country, few women would marry.
1t seems a pity women could not
realize how much more attractive
they are as God made them, and
should be content to stay so, for
such false aids do not add at all to
their good looks, for all who look
upon them know they are false. 1t
has been very truly said
"Ihe woman neglects her heart
Who studies her glass. -

Taking Care of the Feet.

10 keep the feet in good condition
it is necessary to bathe them three
times a week and to look after the
nails once week. If they perspire
great deal, dissolve borax in the
water, wash them thoroughly, keep
ing them III the water fifteen minutes,
and wipe dry. This may be done
every night before retiring. Dust
them in the morning with powder
composed of four parts talcum powder
and one part boracic acid thoroughly
mixed. This checks perspiration and
adds greatly to ones comfort.
Corns are very painful, and when
they are new may be removed by
rubbing with pumice stone. If of
long standing, make a poultice by
soaking light bread in vinegar five
minutes and bind it to the corn at
night. In the morning keep the foot
in warm water ten minutes and the
corn will be easy to remove. Wearing
one pair of shoes in the morning and
another in the afternoon rests the
feet wonderfully. Nothing is more
restful to tired feet than the salt
water bath. This is prepared by
adding ia tablespoonful of coarse salt
to a quart of warm water. After
they are removed from the water,
wipe dry with coarse towel.
