Beauty Wrinkles.

We do not propose to discuss the
lines which come on the face with
time and abuse of the skin, though
they are among the things beauty cul-
ture most particularly deals with.
Those wrinkles are to be avoided, just
as a bonnie dimple on pretty coun-
tenance is to be encouraged. But we
would fain direct attention to "wrin-
kles" in the way Of hints which tend
to develop latent charms, repress de-
fects and lead the way to making the
best of yourself, which, after all, is the
very. essence of beauty cultivation.
Now. even in the matter of those
said lines on the face they are far too
often preventable, and are in a manner
due to bad habits, facial contortions,
wrintling the forehead allowing a
peevfsh. disconnected aspect to grow on
the face. and the like. We must APP
nroach the body through the mind, and
there is nothing so becoming to hap
niness as content, which shines
through the face. But even smiles
produce wrinkles; still, if we have no
others we can let those pass. sleep

II Is imperative to remove foreign mat
ter from the surfoce of the skin. The
very purest soap is the best; the less
chemicals are brought into its forma-
ton the better, and those who prefer
to abjure soap should use very fine
oatmeal. which is most cleansing. But
then, again, there are fine and tender
skins that oatmeal does not suit. After
you have bathed in an ordinary bath,
or employed a basin of water for
cleansing purposes, you are far more
likely TO make the treatment effectual
if you have a rinsing basin and re-
apply perfectly fresh water to the
body or face, just as in washing
clothes and lace-the final rinse is 50
essential. For this purpose every bath
room should have a basin at hand, and
every washstand should be furnished
with a couple of them.
There are many disfigurements to the
skin that come from neglect of the in
ternal health of the body, from indi-

winds and rough weather. We are
terribly ignorant of the vulnerable
parts of our bodies as far as cold is
concerned. How many people wear a
piece of flannel on their chest, hoping
thereby to protect the lungs, while

to wear the same strip of flannel or
vest at night as in the day; on the
contrary, change everything when
going to bed. 1t is a most uncleanly
and unsanitary plan to do anything
else.
In the country, where the fresh all

people might get on very well without

Oil Yourself a Little.

An old Quaker was once visited by
gIrrulous neighbor who complained
that he had the worst servants in the
world, and everybody seemed to con-
spre to make him miserable.
My dear friend" said the Quaker
'1et me advise you to oil yourself a
little"
"what do you mean?" asked the irri-
tated old gentleman.
We'll" said the Quaker, 81 had a
door in my house some time ago that
was always creaking on its hinges,
and 1 found everybody avoided it, and
although it was the nearest way TO
most of the rooms, yet they went
around some other way. So 1 just got
some oil. and after a few applications
it opened and shut without a creak or
a jar, and now everybody goes to that
door and uses the old passage. Just
oil yourself little with the oil of kind
ness. Occasionally praise your serv-
ants for something they do we'll En-

to find that little sunshine will wear

A Pretty Mouth.

A good mouth is one with a curved
short upper lip and soft, full-but
not too full-lower lip, both being a
fresh pink color. Round about the
mouth should be fair, smooth skin,
without trace of down or hair. I'm
happily. too many women have to COM
plain of a growth of hair about the
mouth, which is fatal from the Amer
lean standpoint of beauty. 1t is pleas
ant to know, however, that the slight
operation of electrolysis has been
been brought to such perfection and
can now be performed so cheaply and
it is within the reach of most women.
MOles too, in the vicinity Of the
mouth. may be removed without pain
by the electric needle. But there are
other slight defgurements which a
woman can easily remedy for herself.
Those who are in the habit Of using
preparations to Whiten the skin, and
are at the same time, afraid of en-
Couraging superfluouS hairs, will usu-
ally omit to apply the preparation in
the vicinity of the lips, with the re-
suit that presently they notice the
skin there to be at least one shade
darker than anywhere else on the
face. For such a mark about the
mouth one may safely advise the use
Of fresh lemon juices squeezed into a
small quantity Of glycerine, just to
make the liquid sufficiently emollient
to apply round about the mouth as
far as the discoloration is noticed.
This lotion need not be rubbed in too
vigorously but a, small amount of
rubbing Will be requisite, while some
Of the mixture can be dabbed on and
allowed to dry. Warm wather, to-
gether with a little soap, viii wash
away the sickness. If very little
glycerine be used the lotion would have
no tendency to create superfluous
hairs, and the lemon juice ought very
quickly to remove the shade Of dark
ness. Glycerine, though not god for
majority Of skins, is very useful as
a lip salve. counteracting either winter
chapping or summer dryness.

The Art of Keeping Up Appearances.

No matter how old a wcman's clothes
are, if she takes good care of them
they will help her to make a good
appearance If she keeps the bottom
of her skirt well bound, if she keeps
the spots sponged off her dress, if she
presses her dress skirt before it gets
really wrinkled, if she dusts her hat
and freshens the bows, if she throws
away a veil the instant it develops a
hole, if she mends her. gloves, and If
they are washable, keeps them clean, if
she polishes her shoes and by occa-
sional visits to the cobbler keeps the
heels straight, she will pass muster
even if the time when she had a new
outfit has been so long past that it is
forgotten.
But if, when she undresses at night,
she throws her clothes in a heap on a
chair or on the floor, if she leaves her
hat in the hall or on some convenient
table or chair, if she hangs her coat
by one sleeve or even by a loon in the
middle of the collar. If she does not
clean her shoes or wash her gloves. it
is no wonder that she looks like
tramp. A skirt should be brushed and
hung on two hooks by it's two loops. A
coat should be brushed and hung on a
wire coat hanger and put away out
Oh Jne uusI' "A nat sIlouIu De QuSCed
and put away in its box or on a hook
in a clothes press. Shoes Should be
put on their trees every night. So
treated shoes will last a long time and
will look we'll to the last minute If
a shoe is damp and is put to dry on a
tree it will be soft and pleasant to
wear after a few hours. Shoe trees
cost from 70 cents to 81. But they last
forever, and so are not an extrava-
gance. A little good shoe polish is a
good investment. If man or womans
shoes are run over and shabby as to
ties, and wrinkled and rusty, their ac-
ouaintances and their enemies will re-
ioice. If q woman wants employment,
it behooves her to look well to her ap-
pearance Do not be too fancy in

AUTUMN LEAVES.

Inc lar outstretching woodlands, this
glorious autumn day,
Are brilliant with the beauty preceding
swift decay,
While Natures grand cathedral upon
its floor receives
Its columns browning glory-bright
wreaths of autumn leaves.
As slow they're drifting downward
with low and whispering sound,
In hues of fleeing beauty they paint
the russell ground,
With sombre shadows fancy our life
web inter-weaves
AS low the winds are wailing among
the fallen leaves.
Out in the signing forest they rustic
meath our tread.
Like faint, half-smothered echoes of
voices from the dead,
Or like some wandering spirit that,
sad and restless grieves
Ger all its bright days wasted, wild
moan the autumn leaves.
Like them our lives are changing, like
them, we, too, must Cade,
When pass our few brief seasons of
sunshine and of shade;
And though our disappearing some
home or heart bereavcs,
We're soon no more remembered than
withered autumn leaves
Oh, moaning leaves of autumn, as
drear were earthly life
Was there no glorious future, I'M
dimmed by grief and strife,
Where heart-strings are broken, and
where no spirit grieves;
Where lie no faded flowers nor with
cred autumn leaves.

Honor and Love Your Mother.

Have you a mother? If so. honor
and love her. If she is aged do all in
your power to cheer her declining
years Her hair may have bleacbed,
her eyes may have dimmed. her brows
may contain deep and unsightly fur
rows; her cheeks may be sunken. hut
You should not forget the holy love
and tender care she has had for YOU.
In years gone by she has kissed away
from your cheek the troubled tear. she
mas soothed and petted you when all
else appeared against you: she has
watched over and nursed you with a
tender care known only to a mother
she has been proud Of your success.

BECK TO NATURE.

Away, back from the city,
With it's turmoil and its din,
To the hills, the fields and forests,
Far from the paths of sin.
Away from the sight of buildings
That men in their pride have made
To the everlasting mountains,
Whose foundations God hath laid.
Away where the flowers are growing
Not planted by the gardeners hand
But sowed by the autumn zephyr,
Which dropped them at Gods COM
mand.
Away. away, from the shallow
And empty praises of men,
To the hush and peace of the wild
wood,
And God Will speak to you then.
