Derfection. The tops used by
them are of a delightful variety, both
in size and construction. The largest
of all tops is more than a foot in
diameter and proportionately heavy.
Some are solid, others contain a flock
of little ones, which fly out when the
top Is lifted and spin away by them
selves. Others pull into a spiral or
ladder of successive tops. One draws
up into a lantern and spins cheerily
in that form. The methods of spinning
are almost beyond description, says the
London Penny Magazine. Even a very
large top is sometimes thrown as the

with apparent carelessness, when II
goes on working. One of the most deli
cate performances consists in spinning
a top in the left hand, up the left arm,
round the back of the neck, n down
into the palm of the right hand. An
other Is to toss it, spinning. into the
air and catch 1t on the sleeve. whence
1t runs down into the hand. A large.
heavy top is sometimes flung ten or
twenty feet in the air and caught on
the cord, spinning always. But the
grandest display consists in sending a
top spinning up a rope to the head
of a stick and then letting 1t spin back.

Tidiness About the House.

There is no reason why the city
houses should present so uniformly
ugly an appearance.
So many little things may be one to
beautify them that it seems a pity
that every householder does not at
tempt them.
The color of the shades has much to
do with the appearance of the build
ing. A brilliant pea green or a bright
blue is to be preferred to white for
summer use,
Never leave the windows open at I'M
even heights, or the shades drawn odd
ly askew.
At the same time It Is lot necessary
to maintain too prim an appearance;
neatness Is all that Is required.
See that the paint on the door and
window stills Is renewed at frequent In
tervals. Dulled varnish makes the en-
tire house seem shabby. d.
Be careful to remove Immediately any
dirt or mark made upon the steps and
frontage.
Often the children of the neighbor-
hood delight in defacing buildings with
chalk or crayon. Remove all such
marks as soon as possible after they
are made.
The back of a house is just as i'm
portant as is the front. Never let the
back yard become Uttered with rub
bish, even in winter.
Cut down dead vines. Remember that
as many people form an opinion of you
from you back view as gaze at you
from the front.
Let you watchword be tidiness; keep
things constantly in repair, and your
house will present an improved appear
ance from the very beginning which 1t
will never lose.

To Restore Leather Furniture.

To restore leather furniture from
which the color has been scratched one
must paint the bad places with oil
paint hat contains no varnish. An
authority says that the better way will
be to buy a tube Of artists paint and
mix 1t with raw linseed oil, then apply
with a soft brush.
The spots nay show brighter than the
rest of the leather for a day or so. but
very soon they will look like the other
portions of the couch. One should use
crude oil for the scratches. Some per-
sons mix this with turpentine, bu the
safer way is to use the crude oil alone,
as turpentine eats into the polish.

Her Complexion IL Poor.

Dear Madame Alta:
Will you please tell me what to do for
dark rings around my eyes? 1 have
been told that my blood Is poor, but I
do not think so, as I have been taking
iron for about two years. Also, will
you let me know If cucumbers boiled
with their skins on and strained will
make a yellow complexion white when
the cucumber skins are green? Can 1t
be used without injury to the face? I
have quite a few wrinkles on the side
Of my mouth. and 1 would like to know
whether I could massage them with a
good face cream I got from your paper
some time ago. Also. what movements
should be followed, downward or back
ward, toward the ears? I have a very
poor complexion. Hoping you will help
me, as you have many others.
A CONSTANT READER.
Deep rings around the eyes often
come from a rundown condition of
the system. but more often from over
work and continued loss of sleep. In
any case 1 would advise you to con-
suit your physician, who will no doubt
prescribe a remedy.
To use cucumbers as a complexion
beautifier, peel them and cut in thick
sticks and apply to the face, allowing
the liquid to dry of its own accord
This will improve the complexion and
make 1t soft and white. or course you
understand that II our skin is natu-
rally dark, If you have what Is gen.
orally called an olive complexion, you
can hardly expect that 1t will become
perfectly white. You should find con-
ISOLATION in the fact that olive complex
ions are considered very beautiful. The
cream you refer to may be used to
massage with. Always stroke the ace
upward and outward with the finger
tips when massaging. A downward
movement would only end to deepen
the wrinkles.
