MOST MIRRORS ARE DECEPTIVE
To Get True Reflection, Glass Must
 Be Draped.

Ones reflection In mirror never does one justice. Comfortable thought for the plain and pretty alike. Com plexion. expression and color are all really better than the shining glass makes them appear. Let not her to whom nature has been sparing of her charms despair If she would see her self in the deceptive mirror as others see her with the eye, or as nearly as possible, let her hasten to draper's s shop and buy a quantity of soft pure white material-gauze if possible; If not, Swiss or India muslin will an swer all right.
 Be sure to have it pure white, and after polishing the surface of the mir TOT gather the material at the center of the top and bring 1t down softly at either side, framing the glass soft ly in folds of pure white. When this Is done to artistic satisfaction peep The true tints of the complexion, the expression of the countenance and the eyes, the correct color of the hair, will be accurately reflected
 This is one of the milliners oldest secrets. Many of the most artful of them drape the glasses in the softest drapery of pure white. It is done with the view of giving their fair patron esses the best view of themselves pos sible, administering in this way a little subtle flattery, while showing off the headgear to the best advantage. This tip" therefore, possibly may cause a return to favor of the draped toilet glasses of a few years ago

Clean Bathinu.

It Is necessary to keep all bathing accessories pure and clean. The sponge, if it shows signs of souring, should be rubbed occasionally with fresh lemon and rinsed several times in lukewarm water. A sun bath also purifies a sponge. The soap should be allowed to drain and dry of after the bath and never be allowed to soak in the water.
 Lastly the tub should be carefully rinsed and cleansed ready for the next occupant This is a little point which should be unnecessary to men, tion, but .s, slaa, often forgotten or neglected.

Sirup for Whooplng Cough.

One ounce thoroughwort, one ounce horehound, one ounce faxseed, one ounce wood licorice stick. one ounce slippery elm. Simmer all together in one quart of water until the strength is entirely extracted, then strain care fully. Add one pint best molasses and half pound of white sugar. Simmer them all togther until quite the thick. ness of sirup. Add the juice of two lemons and bottle tightly. If kept in warm weather a little spirit can be added A few doses of one tablespoon full at time will help the most dis
 dressing cough, soothes and allays fri

NEED OF PHYSICAL EXERCISE.
No Woman Can Long Neglect It, and
 Retain Beauty.

The woman who says she has mot who most requires 1t. She who sits in an office or stands behind counter must have certain aids, such as rest. diversions of proper kind, exercise and diet, to maintain health, and it Is by adjusting these sanely that balance is kept.
 It is a mistake to think that because one walks during the day or does housework, etc, sufficient exercise Is taken, for 1t must be remembered that only one kind of work Is done, and necessarily others must be de. veloped to keep the strength.
 Then again, unless the mind Is re- faxed any kind of physical exercise Is valueess. For instance, 20 minutes walk In the air should be taken at some time each day by any woman who does not wish to lose her com. pleYion and freshness in early youth. To breathe deeply while walking is not only to increase the benefit of the outing, but trains the lungs to expand to healthfulness, and greatly improves the figure by filling out hollows In the neck or preventing them. If it is done at this time it will soon become a habit. An excellent way of beginning is to inhale slowly while taking six steps. By the seventh step exhaling should begin, taking the time of six more stems for if This ia aim Dla hut worth trying-Chicago American.

lnnnortancA of Neulinees.

To leave home without putting into the bag or the trunk negligee of some sort would be to court all sorts of dis comfort, for after an exceptionally long run every woman needs the relaxation of her kimono and her slippers. There are innumerable soft, noncrushable fabrics of which negligees may be made, but none prettier than the chal- lies in Persian patterns or the thin cashmeres trimmed with wash rib bons. Some tourists, however, rely upon matinee jackets matching their silk petticoat, and these, of course, re- quire the minimum of space and an swer perfectly for lounging purposes, but not for bath robes nor to facili- tate hasty flight from hotel in case of fire.

Two Cakes in One Pan.

A good cake recipe for small tam. fly is the following: One cup of sugar, one-half cup of butter, two eggs, three fourths of a cup of sweet milk, two teaspoons baking powder, and two cups sifted flour.
 greased and foured tin and to the rest of the dough add one teaspoon each of cinnamon, cloves, and ginger and one half cup each of raisins and entrants ; stir thoroughly and pour into the other half of tin.
 When baked and cool cover with any icing desired and the result will please. as one has two kinds of cake with but little work. It will run together trifle at the center. but not enough to waste. If one prefers a strip of greased paper can be placed between and prevent any mixing.

Some of the finest, If not the fin
est, peaches seen in Grand Junction
this season were sent in to the fair
association by A. Lippincott, well
known grower of the Mt. Lincoln
community. The peaches are of the
Elberta variety. They are perfect in
their coloring and shape and are of
immense size, bigger peaches rarely
ever being seen anywhere. FIRE.
quently one or two remarkably big
peaches are found in an orchard but
it is seldom that several boxes of
such giants as these are taken off of
one tree. The standard Elberta
peach of the Grand valley is of mag
nficent size but these grown by Mr..
Lippincott far outdistance the ord
mary big Elberta. The Caldwell
Walker Realty company have some
of the peaches on display in their
