pad you know what delightful and
efficacious skin cleanser it is. II yor

article not only cleanses the face mos,
satisfactorily. thus taking the place
Of soap. but 1t does away with all
roughness, leaving the skin smooth
soft and white.
Buy package of oats and a yard
of cheesecloth; these will not cost as
much as one of the dainty but ex.

Now out of the cheesecloth make
little bags about four by two and a
half inches and fill them half full of
the oats. Hold one in the water until
milky substance can be seen in the
water, then wash the face. arms and
neck with 1t until the skin feels clean

This scheme is not entirely new, but
it is always interesting and has the
advantage Of being easily arranged.
Say there are to be 20 guests, that
means five tables. Label the first

cans" the third Rivers" the fourth
Flowers" and the fifth may be Hero
ines" In the center of each table
place about 20 assorted letters, face
down. The guests are given score
cards on which in fancy lettering are
the subjects OF the different tables.
After all are seated the bell rings
and the game commences. One player
turns a letter so that all may see 1t.
The first person who thinks of city
beginning with that letter and says it
keeps the letter. For example, If
"B" is turned some one says Boston"
and takes the letter. When all the
cities are gone the bell rings. The

The question of pairing partners for
even dinner party may be made a
pretty ceremony by this method: Have
two baskets of flowers in the drawing
room, with numbered tickets on the
stem of each blossom. The men are
told to draw from the basket having.
say. pink carnations in it, and the
ladies take theirs from the rose bas-
ket. When numbers are duplicated
partners are found and all proceed to
the dining room.
This relieves the hostess of the re-
sponsibility for ones vis-a-vis, and If
her party has only congenial people it
will probably result in a pleasant
evening for all.

ent of construction appointed by the
trustees. gave out the full particulars

wrecking will take about three months.
The rebuilding will take at least
three years. The contract for the con-
struction has not been let, but the de-
signs of the new church have been
prepared by cMeyer & Ward of San
Francisco. Material changes will be
made in the appearance and construc-
ton of the new church. The tower
Will be lowered and the flying buttresses
will be eliminated. Steel construction
will be followed throughout and the
style of the building will resemble
more closely that of the mission type
than the present gothic style.
