There are three dangerous rocks
In the beginning OF season which
a woman who must practice econ
omy Is likely to founder; the first,
cheap novelties; the second. adver-
tised bargains which are sold cheap
because discriminating buyers will
not pay for wearing apparel a sea-
son old; and, third. hasty buying OF
the very new in fabrics, color or
shape. New shades Of standard
colors are especially dangerous un-
less the person selecting them is
prophet. Not very many are, and
even astute tailors go slowly in pur-
chasing until this or that dress or
color has made good"
Never buy a tailor suit of last
years cut, because 1t is cheap, and
because you think It can be recut
at home and brought up-to-date.
In 10 cases out Of 20 this cannot
be done. If it were possible tailors
with their workrooms full of people
at their disposal would themselves
make changes and reap the benefit.
When such garments are worked
over at home they usually end in
a homemade appearance. and, all
counted, will cost more than a new
seasons gown.

White clothes that have become

soaking In butter-milk for several
days, changing the milk each day.
Never pour sugar over the whites

Hot water is far more of a medici-
nal property than many believe or
know. The uses of hot water are
many. There is nothing that so
promptly cuts short congestion of
the lungs, sore throat or rheuma-
tism as hot water when applied
promptly and thoroughly. Head
ache almost always yields to the
simultaneous application of hot waite
to the feet and back of the neck. A
strip of flannel or napkin folded
lengthwise and dipped in hot water,
wrung out and then applied round
the neck of a child that has the
Group, will bring relief sometimes in
ten minutes. Hot water taken free
ly half an hour before bedtime is
helpful in the case Of constipation,
while 1t has a most soothing effect
upon the stomach and bowels. A
goblet of hot water taken just after
rising, before breakfast. has cured
many Of indigestion, and is widely
recommended by physicians to dys-
peptics.

Lily-Concealed Nectar.
Before "the bee sucks" as Ariel

their honey, to be found like the
priests hiding holes in ancient man

and to keep away all intruders.

| six large honey pits, one on every

over with a big drop Of honey and
glistening like a tear drop. Shake
the flower and 1t "weeps" as the big
drops fall from 1t, soon to be re-
placed by other tears in the rapidly
secreting flower. The simple folk
call the flower Jobs tears"
The snowdrop Is literally flowing
with honey, for In swollen veins
traversing its fragile whiteness are
rivers Of nectar. The petals Of the
columbine are ingeniously and ella
borately designed with a view to pro-
viding good places of hiding for tho
honey. Each is circular. hollow,
shaped like horn. In each the
honey is secreted in a round knob at
what would be the mouthpiece end
OF the horn, and the five are arranC-

Sometimes the petals are all Joined

Yale Has Clean Slate and Har-

Yale has shown in her preliminary foot

been scored in every game PLAYED. while
no opponent has been bic TO score points
IN any way Harvard has shown less scor-
ing power, and has been the victim os q
hostile tally twice. Williams making a
touchdown and Dartmouth a goal from the
field from placement. But Harvard. while
scoring good many points less IN
tie aggregate, has done more tallving
against powerful opponents by straight
rushing OF the hau and has made two
touchd0wns IN every game except two VII
Lams was beaten by touchdown. its re-
sultant goal and a safety West Point by
touchdown and goal and a goal from the

Yale has scored often this wear on open

somewhat into the compilation OF points
only one touchdown was made against
Princeton by straight rushing, a blocked
kick yielding the other. and against West
Point there was no sustained march down
the field Both elevens have. as a matter
of fact, developed great offensive power
and the fact that Harvard has relied more
on straight smashing work as against the
more varied and loOser game Of Yale sim
ply adds 10 the conviction that the struggle
will be a bitter one.
