Worn AS A BEAUTIFIER.
Some Observations on This Subject by TIT

Some Observations on This Subject by the
Serene MIR. Gr%ilipingbly.
In all the talk about how can
make herself more beautiful said Mr..
Grillpingbly. Il don't remember to have
seen anything about the value Of house
work. II anything has been said about this
! must have missed it. but the fact has now
been brought TO my attention in a some
what curious manner
"The hard times. from which / trust we
are now emerging, hit the GriIlpingbly out
ft to the extent OF making II necessary for
us TO dispense with the services Of our
single maid; and that made It incumbent on
Mrs. Grillpingbly to take up the household
work In our establishment. which. being a
real sport. she cheerfully did; and no such
calamity befell us as might have been an
ticipated; in fact the outcome has been
happy all around. Instead Of becoming
thin and haggard and worn out with the
work she has seemed to me to become more
beautiful all the time. Making all due al
lowances for how h would seem to me
for the cheerful courage that she had shown
in this emergency IL seemed clear to me
that the work had done her no harm, but
really quite the contrary, and such in truth
seems to be the case.
For Mrs. Grillpingbly herself tells me
that nous CIV DIRK. all around Homework. is
fine exercise; that it brings into play all
the muscles and is as good exercise as q
could have. In this exercise b does not
washing. and here I might mention
we put our washing out; but the busting
sweeping. the general miscellaneous
she says is the best all around
exercise that one can find.
-And 1 am inclined to think that this must
DO. 1 wouldn't have believed she could
more beautiful. but she certainly Is so
now. this due apparently to the work i'm
posed by hard times.

she erranges to have her hair az prettily

can brush the hair until It is light and soft
and shiny. It Ia then thrown over a POM
and, behold. It Ia arranged for the dayl
The girl whose hair requires moro treat

Hurry and worry are both fatal to the
beauty OF the hot weather girl and abe

WHEN THE WHALES EAR ACHES.
Loaps Out OF the water Due to the Torture
by Q ParAsite.

Oy y forebto.
It was a story told by Q whaler who re-
tired from the sea when the catch OF the
deep sea game had 80 fallen of that there
was no longer any profit in a captains lay
even with the added earnings from the
slop chest. But as it has been confirmed
by the zoologists Of the Fish Commission
the truth Of the story is unassailabls.
When the whales we're still frequent along
the lanes Of passenger travel across the
western ocean nothing was more common
than to see the great beasts hurting their
tons Of bulk clean out OF the waves and
after q flight through the air falling back
into the Sea with an enormous splash and
jets OF foam, O spectacle never failing Of
interest to the ocean tourist but not due
to any gleesome sportive disposition on the
part OF the leviathan OF the deep.
Quite the contrary. the brea ching Of the
effort to rid himself Of the torment Of ear

aim in a maritime career 10 to poster whales
to the verge Of endurance, and there seems
reaso to believe that some whales have
been driven insane by ther tiny parasites.

IL found In the oyster. When It lodges on

Few Fans Now Sold In the etreots-Th1

"A. thing that strikes mt as curious
'saida man Of observing habit. lis the smaller
number Of men you see nowadays In tho
streets In hot weather selling fans as oom-
pared with the number you were sure to
see years ago. Look back, as I can. thirty
years and more. and then In hot spells you
would find In the streets many men selling
fans, japanese and palm leaf. holding arm

fans bought Of street vendors.

I saw but q lone fan vender and I saw
no q walking along tanning himself.
Why 10 thisf
'fn those old days there were no um-
brella vendors In the streets: now IN rainy

In the rain buy them too. And this seems
natural enough; but why We have stopped

the effect Of that spraying with cologne

will remain as a cooling memory.
The ideal beauty bath for a very hot
morning is a tepid spray bath taken from
q bathroom hose. 1t is a sort OF shower
bath, though one need not necessarily wet
the hair. Then comes the alcohol spray
and one feels cool.
At night the girl who wants to look pretty,
even during the dog days, will spray her
face with very hot water. which she will
use literally. A small! bath spray can be
attached to the warm water faucet and
with its aid the girl can spray her face until
the flesh tingles. No matter how hot the
night this will! cool the skin. Then comes
the liberal application Of a good face cream
Then finally. when the girl has taken of all
superf1uous cream with a bit OF flannel
she is ready to go to bed.
Even the matter OF her sleeping Is an i'm
portant thing to her. She will want to sleep
soundly and without discomfort. The girl
who sleeps as though she we're sufYocating
with the heat will waken the next morning
with tired lines In her face and with circles
beneath her eyes. The room must be cool
and sweet and the bed clothing must be
just warm enough.
To lull one to slumber on a very hot NIGHT
there is nothing like the odor Of lavender
flowers. The sheets and pillow cases should
be kept In lavender, and on very sitting
nights the strongest Of the sheets, those
that have lain directly upon the lavender
pads, should be brought ont and spread
Upon the bed.
The next thing Is the pertaining OF the
room. and this can be lone in one Of a
dozen delicate ways. II the room were
the bedcbamber OF a queen or Of a woman
OF millions there would be hung In II the
perfumed sheeting which is used by those
h do not care how much money thew
spend. The sbeeting, which Ia really only
an ordinary linen sheet cut In hall. In
with water. 1t is then spread
a line In the middle Of the room and
some agreeable perfume is sprinkled upon
1t. The odor depends upon individual
preference and upon ones peculiarities.
Ia for nerves; violets will sooth
a headache that comes from being tired.
rose is for those who like strong odors
and who are suffering from the heat.
In the bedchamber Of q woman who
deeirous Of looking her best next
day and who did not care what Il coat
TO be pretty, there was hung q big wet |
cloth saturated not only with water but
well sprayed with violet perfume. An
electric fan was placed 30 that II played
directly upon the moist cloth. The result
was q calm. cool atmosphere.
