the same way one may use finely
chopped cooked clans or oysters which

the clam broth or oyster liquor in
place of water in making the omelet
and pour around il clam, oyster or a
thin white sauce.

served as a separate course at lunch
con or dinner and they are very de-
licious although easily made. Serve a
plain omelet in the center of the plat
ter and pour cooked and seasoned
vegetables around it. and garnish with

stewed tomatoes. Other vegetables

affording opportunity for varieties

SWEET OMELETS.
Sweet omelets are varieties of plain
omelet in which sugar is used instead
of salt and pepper. and in which the
filings and furnishings consist of
sweets and fruit. They are dainty and
delicious, equally appropriate for any
meal and a grand resource as emer-
gency desserts. With a simple sweet
omelet as the basis any materials at
hand may be used, so its possibilities
art practically without limit

water into the pan and add a few

cone of paper over the pan and the
face. and let the face remain in the
steam until it ceases to be given off.
This will probably be about ten min
utes. The pores are now open and the
dirt and CRIME are loosened and should
be removed by scrubbing the face
igently with the complexion brush.
Rinse in several warm waters and then
in cold. Pat the face dry with a soft
| towel and massage the face with
quantities of cold cream.
ABUSE OF THE HAIR.
You know. and every other woman
knows. that women treat their hair to
objectionable abuse. Women treat
their hair to deeper insults than any
of their other possessions. One night
when a woman feels amiable and
bright she will brush and pat her hair
and put a good, refreshing tonic on
| it. and then braid 1t into two nice,
soft plaits down her back. But, oh, the
next night when she comes home after
a bridge party, she will yank the hum
| bred odd hairpins loose and shake her
hair away from her head and neck,
and hop into bed unmindful of the
consequences.
The hair needs regular and constant
care. and under these conditions only
will it flourish. Find some course of
treatment which suits your hair and
stick to this particular treatment, no
matter what happens.
To remove the tangles from the hair
use a coarse toothed comb, being sure
that the teeth are all smooth and even
Never use a fine toothed comb on the
hair. 1t splits the shaft of the hair, in
jures the root. and brings forth a crop
of dandruff
1t is not necessary, nor is it a good
thing. to brush the hair too much;
dozen or two strokes each night to re-
move the dandruff. if there is any, and
the days dust and dirt win suffice.
ALCOHOL FOR OIL SKIN.
An oily skin is one of the most humil-
iating things one can have. Tt is
simply impossible for q girl to look
sweet and dainty when her skin is oily.
An oily skin seems to gather up all the
dust in the air, and for that reason
it is an undesirable possession If for
no other. Then when the nose becomes
oily it shines like beacon of light,
Wipe the skin once or twice a day,
as the necessity arises, with a little
diluted alcohol. Borax also is excel
lent, although one should always be
careful not to use too much of this.
A few drops of ammonia in the water
occasionally will help, but pinch of
borax added to the warm water is
the better of the two.
After wiping the skin with the diiut-
ed alcohol powder it lightly but thor
oughly with a good and pure face
powder, and the skin will appear much
less oily.
CARE OF THE HANDS
Rough, ehapped, and red hands. are
often the result of careless drying of
the hands. The hands should be care
fully and thoroughly dried after they
have been washed. Do not neglect the
spaces between the fingers. To make
the hands smooth and soft rub a few
drops of glycerin and rose water thor
oughly into the hands before they are
Fdry. and after the glycerin and rose

CLEANLINESS BANTsHEs BLACK
HEADS.
There are many girls and women
who are insulted to think that any
one could even suggest that they were
not clean when they wash night and
morning and often in between times.
Every woman ought to look at this
subject sensfbly. for the truth of the
matter is that it is impossible to keep
the face clean by merely washing it.
Even if you wash half a dozen times
a day you may know that if you still
have blackheads you have not sue

face clean. The face must be scrubbed,
and steamed, and creamed, and mas
