The Way He Treated Her!
Dear Margery Doom:
1 am a young girl 20 years old, and
have just returned from my vacation
at the seaside. While there I formed
the acquaintance of a young man, to
whom l became deeply attached. He
took me to see his mother. who dig
dainfully refused to accept an intro
duction to me. Since then | have met
him several times, but he just stared.
He has not spoken to me since, and.
although / try my best not to notice
him, l feel as If | cannot live without
him. 1 know he loves me. but on ac-
count of his mothers sake he must not
notice me. Now. what shall I do-let
him think 1 don't care about him?
w. w.
The best thing to do is to try and
forget him. l cannot imagine how you
could care It all for a young man who
cares so little for you that he will not
recognize you on the street. He has
proved that he is not worth anybody's
affection, let alone a s~weetheart's.

VKT HEW! it was certainly warm.
wv Any doubts on the subject
would have been removed by q
mere glance at Samuel Clapstone as he
toiled in Lawyer Grabley's garden. The
sun beat fiercely upon SamuePs pate,
smooth and shiny as 1t was, without a
sign of hair thereon
Looking out through the open case
ment, Lawyer Grabley paused In the
reading of his paper to watch the re-
Election OF the sun on SamuePs head.
The longer he watched the sunlight on
the smooth surface the more 1t fasci-
mated him.
"Ho, Samuel"
Samuel ceased from labor and turned
his head in the direction from which
the call had come.
Lawyer Grabley leaned out of the
window and beckoned to the gardener
to approach.
Samuel. you find the sun warm on
your head, don't you?"
Without waiting for a reply, he con-
tlnued, $50 I'm going to give you one
of my wigs"
Now, Samuel would have much pre-
ferred a half holiday or something cool
ing to drink, but as he did not care to
offend his master he thanked the law
yer and vowed that a wig would be the
best sort of thing to make him COM
Portable.
According to instructions, the house.
keeper presented Samuel with the wig.
which Lawyer Grabley had discarded
a long time since. 1t was a peculiar
headdress. an bic -fashioned wig of a
dirty brown color, n with a little
pigtail behind.
Samuel had no sooner donned the wig
han a funny thing happened. The lit
tie pigtail worked itself around so that
the tip of it tickled the wearer in the
ear. Samuel could have sworn he heard
a little voice saying:
do take one of those nice, juicy ap-
pies from the tree over yonder.'
Samuel started. for, mind you, he had
nev in his life taken anything that
Gid not belong to him. No, Samuel was
strictly honest. Blu he was hot and
thirsty, and the fruit looked so tempt

She accepted them with a slight

They were very different faces in

night he had never thought of compar-

which beamed from Amabel Pages far
from regular countenance had put all
other faces out of his mind. but now

Amabel noted the movement and

glances he cast his old playmate as
they proceeded slowly down the road.

the hillside.
She remained, remained so long that
il was nearly 9 o'clock when she en-
tered the family parlor.
"Why. Agnes" cried her mother,
"what is the matter?"
Her answer was inaudihle. What

The Tiled Floor.

The best floor is a tiled one. Those
who feel that a tiled floor is too ex-
pensive will find the next best ioor to
be wood covered with oilcloth or lino-
leum. Care should be taken to buy
some extra pieces of the material used
to put in front Of the range when the
cooking is going on, Inc over the floor
by hi most frequently used tables and
the sink, as these parts of the floor
always wear out the quickest and look
shabby when the rest of it will appear
quite new. The loose pieces can be
taken up when the work Is done. The
best article to clean tiles with is soft
soap. Oilcloth requires washing with
ordinary yellow soap, but should be
scrubbed occasionally with a soft
brush, and then gone over with a little
SKINNED milk.

Household Hints.

An open fireplace is the ideal way to
roast meat n poultry. also for carry
ing off the odor of cooking. but for all
other cooking the range is far superior.
1t is cleaner for the kettles and less
dusty.
Scrupulous' cleanliness must prevail
in the kitchen in every way. Do not
fail to have plenty of dish, glass and
silver cloths, with soap of good quality:
also soda for the greasy things, using
mineral soap to clean and brighten the
tins. When expense is not an object a
full set of granite or agate ware is the
best for cooking utensils. Should a
kettle become stained a little borax and
water boiled in it will soon remove all
discolorations. Brass faucets and such
fxings can be kept bright by cleaning
them with putty pomade. using a very
small quantity on a. wooden rag.

Care of the Skin.


There are many little skin troubles
which are both persistent and trouble
some, and vex ones very sou by APP
pearing on the face. A greasy skin
may arise from various causes. but
generally from lack of cleanliness or
debility of the skin. Only an astring-
ent has any effect pon it, and a very
simple, entirely harmless one may be
made from one pint of rosewater, hair
a pint of vinegar and a few drops Of
essence of rose. This lotion may be
applied with a piece of soft linen or a
very fine sponge. Blackheads are very
difficult to get rid of, and are caused
by the clogging of the pores of the
skin by dust or foreign matter. AL
cohol, so per cent, applied by the
means of a piece of channels skin, will
give tone to the skin andsremove UNI
suspected dirt and dust, at the same
time stimulating the small glands and
removing, by constant use, the black
heads.
Tan and freckles may be removed by
the use of the following lotion: Two
drains Of powdered sal ammoniac, four
fluid drains of ea~u-de-cologne, one
quart of distilled water. Lemon juice
and borax are both very efficacious, and
are. home remedies. Many skins will
moi stand constant washing, but need
to be cleaned after a dusty ride or
walk by other means thar soap and
water. Lait virginia. is a delicious
preparation. and can be made as fol-
lows: One pint of rose, orange-fower
or elder-fiower water, half an ounce OF
simple tincture of benzoin, and ten
drops of tincture of myrrh. After be-
ing exposed to harsh or chilling winds,
it is a good plan upon retiring to rub a
quantity of fresh cream on the face,
removing after five or ten minutes, to
be applied again, followed by a gen.
erous putting of rice powder.

The doors and windows of a kitchen
should be so arranged that there will
be a current of air to carry off the
unavoidable odor of cooking. The walls
should never be papered. Paper absorbs
impurities. n thereby becomes un-
wholesome. Have the walls painted,

impossible with paper.
