women and housekeeping.

If there be any one thing more than
another calculated to try the patience
of faithful housekeeper, it is to dis
cover, after dutifully accomplishing a
mornings routine work, rip in the
carpet, or worn place in the rug, grin
ming insinuatingly at one. with the sus-
gestion in its open countenance of the
truth of the saying that woinan's work
is never done.
| have long wondered. and am still
at a loss to decide (having tried 10th
methods), which is the happier woman,
she who at once goes and mends the
rip. or darns the hole, or she who puts
her shawl over her head and runs into
a neighbours to gossip till time to get
dinner One thing is certain, the wom-
an who doesn't let the rip affect her
conscience will keep smooth complex
ion longer, and the question is, will
her husband be more Disguised by
catching his foot in the rip, or with
the wrinkles she brings upon her face
by persistent application to the petty
duties that waste the heart and wear
the body?
1t is fact that men are not given
to warm appreciation of domestic
virtues; they take them too much as
matter of course; they do not stop
to consider that washing dishes and
sweeping floors and cooking meals is
work, and work of the very hardest
and most trying kind.
The average man comes home from
his business in the evening expecting
to find a nicely cooked, nicely served
dinner awaiting him. He is ignorant
of the many steps, the infinite care,
the inconvenience of being roasted over
the stove, and the countless trials and
annoyances that are incident to the
preparation of a meal. He thinks it is
natural to woman to keep house, and
what she ought to.
have frequently noticed that wom-
en- who are not too careful in house
keeping have the most devoted hus-
bands. Women who wear themselves
out accomplishing narrow projections
must t1nd in those projections their
own reward. for men will never ap-
preciate them.
The good dinner, the general aspect
of comfort, these impress man deeply,
but for the rest, he would rather have
pretty and smiling wife than one too
earnest N her household duties.
Hence believe it is Just as well TO
put rug over the ripped place, or set
a footstool over it, and go gossiping,
as TO get down on all tours and make
your back ache and ruin your fingers
sewing it up. Blessed be the woman
Whose blood and judgment are so well
co-ningled that she finds time for both
mending ard gossiping, and does not
allow herself to become hopelessly adj
d.cted either to the minutia of house
keeping or to the habit of indiscrimi-

from early winter which had its share
of popularity among the more dressy
jacket suits.
Tiny folds of satin or Of taffeta are
used to trim semidress costumes and
lend themselves admirably to original
effects. They may be applied in broad
ening designs and also in serpentine
lines and short zigzags on hens aud
waistcoats and are also used to frame
motifs.
With the summer dress will be worn
some pretty ribbon sashes. But these
ribbons will be wide, ethereal in APP
pearance, and tied in four loops at the
back Some of the streamers are also
knotted a few inches from the end.
The idea is to get ribbon to match
the delicate weave Of the dress.
The sm .rtest dresses worn at pres
ent are nose composed of cloth skirt,
velvet jacket, braided and fancy or old
time waistcoat fastening down the
front with small antique buttons. The
embroidered is very evident, the idea
having been borrowed from the East.
A simple house wrapper is made
with a square yoke, rolling collar,
bishop sleeves and five-gored skirt that
is attached to the waist. While a
wrapper, yet it has shirtwaist finish
that is neat. Polka-dot materials
that is, of the small design-with bind
ings or bands of plain trimming, look
neat for such garments.
The handsomest and most expensive
of the stiff collars have Irish lace in
sertion used in a sort of conventional
design. While these collars may be
very beautiful, they are less satisfac-
tory than are the hand-embroidered
collars, for the lace will not hold the
starch and constant heavy washing
soon tears the fragile material.
In making up black spangled robe
over a ruff1e of plated chiffon Il is a
clever idea to connect the two by sew
ing to the rufi1e at regular intervals
big disks of black velvet. These may
be cut out, leaving the edges, raw, for
they will not fray, and they relieve
the dead whiteness of the ruffie in con-
trast with the black ABOVE and make a
connecting link between the two ma
terials.

The most simple way to reduce your

Your scalp.

An appalling amount of injury may
be done to scalp and tresses by ig-
norance in brushing and combing. For
instance, tangles must be removed gen
tly, If the hair is not to be snapped,
and the comb must go lightly over the
scalp, stimulating circu alton, without
scratching.
Thin, poorly nourished hair would
be less common were scalp circulation
better, for through its aid the hair
follicles are fed, and the natural secre-
tlons are normal. Without it the scalp
tightens to the skull and the roots are
choked or starved.
