SOMETHING ABOUT SALT.

fRHOW ala the sea become sadt7
Have you ever asked that ques-
ton? Whether you have or not.
perhaps you might be interested to
know something about it.
This salts OF the sea are sodium
-nJ11oTide common salt). magnesium.
potassium and calcium, all minerals,
Ecf course, which are carried TO 1t by
tho rivers and other streams. These
minerals are washed out Of the rocks
.of the earth, and reach the sea In q
state Of solution. The water OF the
sea IL being constantly evaporated by
the suns heat, and 1t comes back to
the land as rain, snow, hail or sleet,
but the salt does not come with IL
The sea, therefore. is all h time get
ting more salt, but SO gradually that
we do not notice 1t.
II has been estimated that II all tho
salt Of the sea We're c~rystallized n
spread out over the continent OF North
America it would cover 1t with a layer
at least half a mile thick.
AS salt may be obtained by evaporat-
ing sea water, you may wonder why IL
Is not generally used for h a purpose.
In some parts of the world it Is so
used for obtaining all the salt he peo-
pie need, but a better quality Is OBJ
tanned from mines Of rock salt and
from salt springs.
There is a salt mine in Poland that
Is nearly half a mile deep, and there
a.e 500 miles of streets and passage
ways in Il. All this Is cut through solid
salt. There are rooms in the mine with
ceilings 100 feet In height. and one
room is arranged as a chapel. with a
pulpit, an altar and many statues, all
carved out of salt.

Nine. Atlas Advtce on
Curing Cold in the Head
Says Breathing Fresh Air Is the First Step
Toward Kidding Yourself of IT.
Would Ruin Her Complexion.

Dear Madame Alta:
I have read SO much about the use
of peroxide of hydrogen and ammonia
for the complexion that I thought l
would write and ask your advice. l
have a complexion that seems to me
some days clearer than others, n l
thought by using this preparation that
it would clear the complexion alto
gether. I nave a few freckles around
my nose and under my eyes, and do
you think by using this preparation 1t
will clear them away? VIII you kind
ly tell me how much peroxide of hydro
gen I must get, and how much of am
molia. and how shall I mix 1t together?
I also heard about putting cold cream
after putting this preparation on the
face; will you kindly tell me whether L
should heat the mixture first and leave
it dry in the skin or shall l put the
cold cream right after | use the per-
oxide of hydrogen? Must I put the
mixture on every night before retiring
or twice a week, and how long must l
keep putting 1t on?
I heard a friend Of mine say that 1t
should be used for a certain length OF
time, and that 1t will soon leave the
complexion clear? Yours, BLONDE.
The mixture Is not meant to clear the
complexion, but to destroy superf1uous
hair in the skin. To use 1t frequently,
as a skin bleach, would ruin your skin.
IA good skin bleach is made of 30 grains
OF borax dissolved in 2 ounces of lemon
Juice. This will also remove the
frec1nles.
Cold cream is not e. face a II
is used to keep the skin soft and firm.
Eat simple nourishing food, drink plen-
tv of water between meals, get plenty
Of sleep and your complexion VIII be
improved.

NEEDLE and THREAD
The Office Skirt.


Isn't 1t q bit Of nonsense to tell a girl
what to wear in the office, especially
when most girls desire to wear some
thing rather stunning and the best
waist In the wardrobe2 You may be
astonished, but it is the truth that dur
ing the whole reign of fancy skirts n
short-sleeved waists, that there were
many girls holding the finest positions
in the cities who wore good black skirts
and long-sleeyed shirtwaists. They GER
tainly did and much credit they re-
ceived for it, though they hurried home
to their dainty dress skirts and short
sleeved blouses which were worn to din
ner. The skirt best suited for office
wear is a black Panama-not a cheap
Panama that will turn brown, but one
that is tailored and made of the best
material. 1 would advise any girl to
have a tailored skirt. The material is
then shrunken, the cutting is perfect,
and a skirt will not lose its shape. A
good skirt will cost about s18, perhaps
$40 and SIS would not be too much, be-
cause a skirt of this kind could be worn
two years and it would always look
good. It Is not desirable to use a pat
tern of the newest cut, because the ex-
aggerated styles are of too short dura-
ticn and the plain skirt Of standard pat
tern Is the one that should be selected.
There should be no folds, though the
belts can be a trifle elaborate and the
collars as ornamental as one desires.
but the waist should be plain. Impera-
tive is the demand that the office girls
be properly gowned and the Panama
skirt seems to be one of the most ap-
propriate styles to be adopted

SOMETHING NEW.

Can you imagine a little short-waist-
ed coat Of black velvet with long black
velvet sleeves and immense 1apels. this
coat finished with an immense velvet
skirt and train effect at The back?
Such a dress was recently worn at a
fashionable musicale where dress was
OF moro Importance really than the
music. The dress skirt. or the front
portion. was a narrow sheath affair of
black satin. banded at the foot with
three bands of black satin. The small
chen1isette Of white satin and lace was
headed with a high ruching. While
braid adorned the lapels Of this velvet
coat, a satin trimming edged the vel
vet edges. With this was worn q very
large black satin hat, piled high with
~ black p1u1nes and decorations Of
Set.

He Hasn't Enough Money.

Dear Margefy Doom:
l am a young man of %, and for some
time have been engaged to a girl of 20,
whom 1 love very dearly. The wedding
Is to take place in November, but I
have been out of work for several
months and had to spend quite a lot of
the money 1 had saved up. I fee that
l cannot buy the things for u home
that I had hoped to get. Would 1t be
wrong to ask the girl to postpone it for
a few months? l love her dearly, and
could not bear to hurt her feelings.
B. II.
Why do you not lay the case before
her, and act as she dictates. If she
loves you, she will marry you and begin
ON a smaller scale than she expected,
rather than postpone the wedding. Dc
not be afraid to confide in her. You
have no idea how much she will appre-
ciate it.

he will soon change his tactics. unless
you have given him excellent reason

expensive, grace the fine hats, and with
every movement they disclose the diff

may rightfully be called changeable

A Practical Coat for the Small Maid.

a aaebiNa AsudA Api lHE small MdlQ.
Modelled by Standard Pattern No. 1876.
Tho warm long coat that completely covers
the dress Is an important item in the girls
wardrobe for fall and winter, and this season
It is very prominent. The coat Illustrated Is
one Of the newest models. and displays pre-
oiseiy those characteristics that will most readily
appeal TO the vigilant mother. It Is cut in the
practical box shape which is at once SO simple
to make and SO coy to wear, and has the
double-breasted front closing. which insures
extra warmth across the chest. 1t may be
line In the back, this being best suited to the
lsrger sizes. since 1t serves to adapt the gar
ment to the figure. The effect, however, is
equally modish with or without II. hence Its
use is largely a matter of taste. The coat is
made high at the neck and is finished with n
jaunty rundown collar, while serviceable
pockets provide for the wearer's convenience.
Two styles OF sleeves are included in the pat
tern, one being the fitted. two-seamed coat
sleeve. and the other the bishop sleeve. which
Is gathered into a smart cuff. Both styles are
sleeyeNi the more popular. The coat. as illus
trated, is developed In MiSado-red melton cloth
and finished with collar and cuffs of astra-
khan, but it may be suitably modelled in any
Of the warm coatings, including the pretty fur
fabrics that are so much in vogue this season.
To develop 1t In the 9-year size requires 1B
yards of material 81 inches wide.
The pattern of this coat. No. 1876, may be
obtained of THE DAVID STERAUS COMPANY,
Newark, N. j., which keeps a complete assort-
ment of STANDARD Patterns always in stock.
