than he himself perhaps a ever
realized. After the first few moments
of stupefaction following the astound-
ing alternative which had been given
him he broke out with the last sem

She met him on his WI ground.
What do l hope?" She actually
glowed with the force of her secret de-

~Sutherland's daughter, acknowledged

can enter any house in Boston as an

rise to anything. I feel hat I have the
natural power and aptitude. l have
felt it since l was a small child"
"And for that"-he began.
a"And for that" she broke In, IL

spot on your record. Confident that

not delay your anwser.
ANXIOUS READER.
I think that before you begin to
worry seriously about being engaged ii
would be a good idea to wait until
you are asked. Certainly send him your

Her Eyebrows Are Light.

Her Eyebrows Are Light.
Dear Madame Alta:
My eyebrows and eyelashes are very
light in color, also very scant. I want
to make them dark. Can you please
tell me of some way to darken them?
Also IL you can give me a permanent
remedy to improve the growth. I will
thank you very much.
DISTRESSED.
A good way to darken your eye
brows and lashes for the time being IL
as follows: Hold q saucer or n other
small dish over a lighted candle to
collect the SCOT that arises from the
smoke. Rub a little good cold cream
into the brows and lashes, after which
apply q little of the SCOT from the
saucer. A very little will have the
desired effect, and the cold cream will
have the effect of holding 1t and maxi
ing a foundation. A permanent remedy
for scanty eyebrows will be found in
rubbing In a little vaseline every night,
making sure to follow the line of the
eyebrows. If this treatment is followed
daily you will soon note q change in
the appearance Of your countenance.
To Cure a BIotchy Skin.
Dear Madame Alta:
My skin Is very dry and very blotchy,
the blotches turning very red at times.
Can you give me a remedy for same
and win the thanks of
ONE IN MISERY.
You will find a very good remedy In
wringing a hot cloth out of boiling
water and applying 1t to the face. This
will correct the blotchy appearance.
Be careful that 1t Is not so hot as to
burn the skin or the cure will be worse
than the disease. After keeping the
cloths on for a minute apply another
towel wrung from cold water. Alter
nate in this way several times, then dry
the skin and rub in a skin food. This
treatment stirs up the circulation,
which Is often the cause of the notified
look.

Covers for Cushions.

Newest sofa cushions are made Of
two materials-for instance, burlap and
denim. In such a case, denim would
usually conventional, may be cut from
the middle and filled In with burlap,
which is basted into place on the under
side. The edges of the denim are then
buttonholed to the burlap. which not
only prevents the latter from slipping,
but also keeps the edges of the denim
from turning back.
Sometimes, instead Of cutting the de-
sign from the cover itself. the design
may be cut out of the other material
and appliqued to the cushion cover.
Such q cover might be of u~nbleached
linen, while a design. say of water
lilies, might be cut from denim and
appliqued to the edge of the squar Of
the linen. AS the later is the smoother
material, It would be comfortable next
the face when the pillow is in use.
OF course, to cut a design from a
solid material some talent Is required;
but If, instead of denim or linen, Gre
tonne were used, the work would be
simplicity itself, and the cretonne Is
easily buttonholed into place.

be pleased with the result.
A simple way to clean lace Is to
spread 1t m paper, cover 1t with cal
cined magnesia. put another paper on
the top of 1t. end press It between the
leaves of a book. Leave the lace for a
day or two. when the lace will be
found looking fresh and clean. This
mode of cleaning may be practised on
the most valuable lace without the
smallest fear Of injuring 1t.

Tired Feet

Tired feet cause an almost unendur-
able pain, yet many suffer from such
merely through carelessness in not hav-
ing the heels of shoes Strengthened.
You know what it Is to put on an old
pair of shoes that have been cast aside
for months, and IL the heels are crooked
it Is almost an impossibility to step In
them, yet one will go on for weeks
wearing high-heeled shoes that throw
the ankles out of place.
1t is necessary to have two pairs OF
house shoes, especially for summer
wear, and they should be low and have
low heels. There Is not a more COM
Portable shoe made than gymnasium
shoes, and even the openworlk sandals
are useful while one is doing the morn
ing work.
Burning feet are caused by poor cir
culation. This can be cured In a short
time by %plunging the feet into moder-
ately hot water, then cold and apply
ing witch hazel or bay run. Powder
the shoes with talcum powder and wear

Yawn to Avoid wrinkles.

Yawning-except in polite society
khould be INDUCED in rather than re-
Dressed. The reason why? good'
free, unrestricted yawn counteracts the
effect of laughing. Just stop and think
how often a person laughs and now
seldom, comparatively yawns' The
muscles are stretched In n direction
while laughing and, by constant repe-
tition, little lines are formed around
the corners of the mouth. Yawning
stretches these same muscles in ex-
actly the opposite direction and, there
fore, tends to undo the mischief caused
by our good humor. Yawn, but don't
stop laughing, or you will be like the
woman who, at an advanced age. had
not a line or wrinkle in her face. but
whose countenance was entirely ex-
pressionless. Dreading these same lines
and wrinkles, she had all her life
schooled her features to express moth
ing Of JOY or sorrow.
