/. woman. Life a sIartyrdom .

Life is a martyrdom for most wom-
en-. if Elizabeth Stuart Phelps is to be
believed. No person, she says, who
has ever received the confidence of the
sex can recall without emotion the con-
LESSONS of those women, tiled to ira
ditions they dare not question, broken
on the wheels of drudgery whose iron
revolutions crush individual gifts out
of the soul and personal powers out
of the life" There will be no happier
class of citizens in the heavenly coun-
try, she thinks, than these prisoners
of sex" to whom the Unlocked door of
death has given the freedom of their
own natures.
This may be true, but wherein does
their case differ from that of most
men? Men, too. are tied, not to tradi-
tions, but to a machine of life they
may not question. Only very few are
not broken on the wheels of drudgery,
both physical and mental. But do men
set up for martyrs. because of that!
The difference between the sexes is
that women never get over the idea
that life ought to BIZ all happiness.
There is a strain of poetry in their
finer natures which compels them to
believe that.-Chicago Journal

The cotton yoiles were never pref

Many women are troubled With dry,
scaly skin on their feet. In such cases
there is no better cure than that sim
plest of home remedies-just plain
vaseline. This should be massaged into
the feet every night before retiring
During this treatment use old bed linen,

Health and Beauty Hints.

Heat lard instead of water for mix
ing a mustard plaster 1t win be soft
er, will cause no blisters and is prefer
able to water or egg mixtures
Women who walk with no heels make
mistake The heel preserves the arch
of the foot and prevents it from be-
coming fat. 1t keeps the ankle round
and is a help to the spine.
A simple lotion for keeping the COM
plexion white and soft and smooth is:
Eight ounces of orange flower water,
two drains of tincture of benzoin. Add
the benzoin drop by drop.
The first thing plain woman must
do is give her figure careful attention.
A stylish or even well-rounded body
viii nine times out of ten carry one
through far better than a pretty face.
The skin should be carefully mas
saged sefore applying plaster to smooth
out wrinkles. Before putting on the
strips the flesh should be stretched
that is, made smooth-and then the
plaster is supposed to hold 1t fast.
To expand the chest try this exer-
else: Depress the chest, letting the
shoulders come forward, with the head
up and back. Raise the chest by mus
cular effort, not by breathing, to the
point of greatest expansion. Raise and
lower the chest this way eight times
every morning and night
If the hair is a dull dead black it
can be made to shine by rinsing it in
many waters and drying it well. 1t is
then brushed with brush over which
the palm of the hand has been rubbed
Into the palm there has been massaged
very little oil. This merely suggests
oil to the hair and makes it shine
little without making it greasy.
When the scalp is very dry it is not
necessary to wash tLe head more than
once in two months Apply this hair
oil every night: Two ounces scentless
castor oil, two ounces cocoanut oil, one
ounce oil of rosemary, one-half dram
oil of jasmine. Mix oils with gentle
heat. Put in bottle and shake for
FIVE minutes.
