lknuczles is a fashion that is being re-

The touch Of green is chic just now,
and includes the kid slippers OF rlch

A new freak is to wear rings on the
index finger and the thumb, leaving
the other fingers unadorned.
A glorified rajah silk just out, seek
ing spring favor, has a satin finish
and is in a two tone weave.
Chip straw hats, 1t is said, again
will blossom out. Just now leghorns
lead. Coarse straws are more proml-
nent than formerly.
A new muff Is knitted Of angora
wool. It is shaped like a pillow, is
fluffy as a kitten, and should be accom-
panied by scarf to match.
Roman stripes are here and are to
be had in taffeta, with the stripes In
dull shades. These stripes also are
worked out in Scotch Bingham.
| Close fitting frocks make it neces-
gary that the petticoat should cling. A
new kind with elastic cores set in over
the hips clings like tailormade.
Cloth and net Is favorite combina
ton for waists that are to be worr
with the tailor suit. The blouse Is
usually of the net with bands OF chif:
fon broadcloth.
Long insertions of lace extending
| from the bust into the bottom of the
gown, narrowing slightly at the waist
are a favorite trimming and give long
graceful lines to the figure.

Always Keep Faith.

Many a woman who would not think
Of lightly breaking promise made to
a grown-up person is utterly careless
about keeping her word with her chlA-
dren. She promises whatever Is con-
yenient at the moment, and apparently
thinks that the breaking or keeping
Of those promises is matter In which
she can please herself, and that her
children have no right to consider
themselves aggrieved if she does not
do so. A mother who acts thus does
her child grievous harm, says the Pic
torial Review. She forgets that the
sense Of justice is strong in quite lit
tie child, and that it Is natural and
reasonable that he should expect his
parents to be as good as their word
and to fulfill their promises even at
the cost Of convenience. Promises
should not be lightly broken, and the
parent who is guilty Of this soon loses
his children's confidence, which Is one
of the sweetest things which our little
ones can give us.

Care OF Furs,

Many fine set of furs Is ruined and
many an ordinary set worn out In half
its due time by carelessness or ignor-
ance. It is not the wearing Of them,
even in rain and snow, that hurts, but
the lack of care after they are taken
off. They should never be placed in a
closet damp and cru1npled up or with
other clothing on top. If they have
been showed upon shake them as dry
as possible, and spread out in a warm
place until they are bone dry Then
they should be brushed the wrong way
and hung up or laid away In roomy
box. Ermine and chinchilla should be
placed in layers of tissue paper and
cleaned occasionally with lump OF

The Shiny Nose.

The greasy skin that causes such
heartburnings among women who can
not prevent their noses from shining,
Is result Of a disordered condition Of
the fat-producing glands of the skin.
The secretion from these glands Is
both abnormal in amount and IS al
tered in character, being more oily than
usual The skin Of the forehead,
cheeks and nose is affected, the mouths
Of the tiny glands being dilated, and
often there is a noticeable enlargement
Of the superficial blood vessels. The
cause is unknown.
It occurs chiefly in young adults, IN
women more frequently than In men.
and in brunettes more than in blondes.
The patient may be in perfect health
otherwise, but the condition is often
met with in consumptives, and IN amaze
mic, generally rundown subjects.
Treatment must be constitutional, as
there are no specific remedies Tonics
containing iron, arsenic or strychnine
are often Of benefit. Locally, evapor-
ating lotions containing alcohol OF
ether NAV be tried. These, together
with some pure powder, used with dis
erection, are the only means BY which

lightly busted on, and should never DC

huge feathers which decorated that

Many of the spring hats have ruff

Often it Is found that a chronic suf-
ferer from headache also complains Of

and it should be strengthened. A sim
pie and helpful remedy is to battle the
feet in cold water night and morning
and rub briskly with flesh brush or

Health and Beauty Hints.


Always rub off all superfluous grease
from the face with soft rag. A piece
of old linen is good for this purpose or
squares Of white silk.
A scented bag into (which a small
bag is put containing red clover and
lavender flowers will be found sooth-
ing to the tired woman.
In this day of high collars it Is well
to remember that the one too tight
gives notified, purple look to the
complexion and makes the nose red.
Remember that makeup badly ap,
piled increases the look Of age. If
you must indulge in artificial com.
plexion makers see that it Is skill
fully and artistically done.
If you have regard for the strength
of your eyes never sit looking at ar
object with the head turned. The
strain Of looking out Of the side Of
the eye eventually affects the nerve.
Spraying the face with hot water /:
necessary for the woman who want:
smooth, pink flesh. The hot water
opens the pores and the cleansing il
completed by a good skin food wei
rubbed In.
If a small fshbone is lodged in the
throat, it can be instantly removed l.

without chewing It. This Is an OLE
