New Brookland Boy Writes

Here comes a South Carolina boy

much, and all the cousins letters. l
have been going to school this winter,
and have studied very hard. I think
we should strive to get good educa-
ton. AS for boys having better edu-
cations than girls, I will say think
they should be alike. Boys can do
almost any kind of work, but a girl
without an education might have it
hard.
I am in the Fifth grade. My stud
les are geography, history, grammar,
arithmetic and spelling. Our school
closed last Friday (March 2o). My
teachers name was Miss Ethel Dreh-
er. She is a good teacher. How
many of the cousins have my age? 1

How many American women in
lonely homes to-day long for this
blessing to come into their lives, and
to be able to utter these words, but

Simple Drop Skirt.

Although many of the newest skirts
do not require any petticoat what
ever, most of the walking skirts need
petticoats which are made of soft,
clinging material with a rufle of
sitter and firmer material
Fit the upper part of the skirt close
ly and snugly about the hips and waist
and cut it to reach just a trifle below
the knees. Cut bias strips of the ma.
terial to be used for the ruffles four
inches wide and join them in one long
piece. Gather this at one side and
leave the other edge unhemmed. Cut
off one piece large enough to fit the
lower edge Of the upper portion of
the skirt and sew the gathered por-
ton of another piece to the straight
edge of this one with a French seam.
Repeat this until all the ruffles have
been used up. Hem the last rufie and

TREATMENT OF THE FACE.
Impossible to Lay Down Rule That
Will Suit All Persons.

There cannot be cut and dried rules
laid down for the washing of the face.
Different skins require different
treatment, and the best thing is to
test the effect of several before decid-
Ing on any.
Generally speaking, however, thick,
oily skins, or those that are so thin
and fine that cold water will cause
wrinkles, should be washed with hot
water, or, at least, tepid.
If there be tendency to facial neu-
ralgia it is also well to avoid cold
water, as the shock of it frequently
starts up the pain.
On the other hand, soft, fiabby skins
that fall into folds and Fuckers need
cold water to give them tone. This
closes the pores of the skin and lends
it firmness. 1t is well to add a little
cologne or vinegar to the water to as
sist in the hardening effect.

BED Cheeks. Mo Rouoe.

If you want to look very pretty and
have red cheeks for some festivity.
you can do this. Rub cold cream into
the face, always with an upward, TO.
tary movement. Wipe that off, rub in
more, and wipe it off again. Then
wash the face with hot water Then
dash cold water over it and dry IL
thoroughly with soft towel. To add
the final touch take small piece of
ice, cover with towel, and rub gen.
thy three or four times over the cheek
bones. This gives a color which will
last for hours, and is really a mild
form of turkish bath for the face
Many ladies before going out use
leather sponges, rubbing the cheeks
first with warm water, then hot water
and dry thoroughly. This gives a love-
ly color.

VEIL IS OF MUCH IMPORTANCE.
An Accessory Which Should Be Most
Carefully Chosen.

Wells are topics of never-ceasing in
terest.
1t is bad news to the brunette who
has, perforce, to choose her veil with
even more care and consideration than
she bestows on her hat, and who has
discovered that her best chance lies in
the selection of very light open
mesh, somewhat sparsely spotted-to
learn that fashion in Paris is all on the
side of heavy black wells fashioned of
coarse silk net, with rather rough
web. which supplies notable contrasts
to the wide-meshed silk net of cob
webby fiber with which the smartest
of her hats or the most up-to-date of
her evening dresses are trimmed.
These heavy nets give a somewhat
funeral appearance to dark woman,
and unless thrown back from the face,
they are more than little apt to give
the effect of an unbecoming black
frame around the forehead and hair,
while in their arrangement over the
face care should be taken that the veil
Lies perfectly smooth, without series

Haiti Falling Into Barbarism.

Haiti is described by Rear Admiral
Colby M. Chester as "degenerating

that Haiti is falling back into a con-

Friend In the Shade.

Mr.. Newrich, the dust contractor,

he had invested in house property in

Fabulous Fortunes from New York
Real Estate.

Many of the wealthiest families In this
country, the Astors, Goelets, Rhineland-
ers, and others, made their hundreds of
millions of dollars in the tremendous APP
probation of New York real estate. So
fast is the value of New York property
growing that from 1900 to 1905 the real
estate valuation increased 1879 or over
l4@o per year. Investments of this kind
Were not within the reach of the small
investors until the New York Realty
Owners Co., 4S9 Fifth Avenue, New York,
was founded years ago to carry out plan
for combining small investments and ac-
curing property within the line of the
city's growth. The management has had
20 years experience and ample capital.

TIE
General Demand

OF the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, YET
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination Of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co, proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co, only, and for salo
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

For Rootinu Rubber Plant.

Slips may be rooted on rubber plants
by cutting slit in stem, and attach
ing a ball of moss, dampened, thereto.
Roots will thus be formed and when a
number come, the newly rooted plant
may be cut off the stem of the old
one at base of ball of moss. Pot in
four or five inch pot, with good rich,
porous soil, allowing ball of moss to
remain when you pot the plant. If
only one or two roots have appeared
when you examine the plant latter

longer. should think slips separated
from old plants could be rooted the
same way in moss.

DO NOT CONSIDER EXPENSE.
Effort to Economic on Combs Is Al
ways a Mistake.

1t is a mistake to economic on
combs. Too many women think any
thing will do that they can run
through the hair. There is no greater
mistake, as uneven, rough or jagged
teeth not only break the hair but often
irritate the scalp.
If one can afford it tortoise shell
makes an ideal comb; those of ivory
are equally good and even more cost
ly. If celluloid is used be certain that
it is perfectly smooth on the points
and sides; also do not use it too near
a flame, as it is inflammable.
Metallic combs are too harsh for
most scalps unless skillfully manipu-
lated.
The teeth should be fine, strong, and
not too close together.

Starch were used. In order to get the
