slowly. All bubbles should be pricked
open so to make smooth surface. After
standing few days in a cool, dry place
it will be ready for use. The copy must
be made on firm paper either with Hectic
graph ribbon or typewriter or pen with
Hectograph ink (buy 25c. bottle-of any
color you prefer, keeping the pen clear
by frequent wping with wet sponge or
cloth Do not use blotting paper but let
the ink dry on the paper and in, the
meantime give your copyette pad bath
in cold or tepid water, then dry off the
water by applying sheets of newspaper
until all drops of water are removed.
Then press firmly upon it the copy
and let it remain from three to five min
sheets as are needed for the letters.
Press each sheet smoothly and quickly
upon the pad and remove at once. 1t is
well to keep hold of one corner of the
sheet so as to pull it off easily. The ink
may be at once washed off with warm
water or tepid water and soft cloth
then dried as for copying, or if left, in
| the pad If the pad seems too soft more
gelatine may be added. If too hard, more
glycerine. Your first trial may not be
entirely satisfactory but a little persever-
ance will bring success and save many
hours of valuable time If only few
copies of letters are wanted sheets of car
bon paper may be laid between the sheets
of paper over table or hard tablet, the
top letter written with sharp pointed
pencil and firm stroke, when five or six
good copies are readily made. For max
ing from 80 to 100 postcard or letter no.
tices the home-copyette pad is great
convenience. The advantage of having it
two or more times the size of paper used
enables one to write several different let
tiers and have fresh space for each.
1t may not be too early to repeat that
all clothing wears longer and looks better
if well cared for. If button is off, a
hook loose, seam ripped, a braid start
ed, or a spot has appeared the defect
should be remedied when the garment is
taken off. 1t should then be carefully
brushed and laid or hung away. The wo-
man with very few clothes that are al
WAYS ready to wear often looks better
dressed than one with far greater variety
but lack of care. If the girls haven't
plenty of closet-space help then9 to plan
for more by using drawers, shelves, or
boxes to put away things III. They may
as well begin to exercise their ingenuity
now as ever, and plan for themselves.
Tomatoes are said to rouse the torpid
liver and often save the doctors prescrip-
ton. Unless thoroughly ripened they
should be cooked.
Already We are reading about the fall
hats which some predict will be less ex-
IRENE in style than those shown for sum
mer because American women have too
much mind of their own to be persuaded
to adopt "a fashion simply because it is

The men have good reason to refrain
from critical remarks about women's head
gear as some of the most unusual models
have been made by man -mllllners.
For the woman who is fond of them
there is money in caring for dogs. Many
city people go on certain trips where dogs
are not allowed They would gladly send
their pets to reliable place in the coun.
try where they would be well led and
cared for. A woman would need to study
each individual boarder, understand the
other conditions. Country air is as good
for dog as for its owner, and on many
accounts. Hence a country vacation
home would be preferred to one in the
city.
The raising of dogs for sale is also re-
munerative A woman, who for term
OF years mas raised them, says tIdl sHe
averages $1,000 year in profit. At first
she sold puppies in lots to dealers: Now
it is question how to supply the demand
of individuals who buy directly from her.
Well-bred pups for pets, house dogs, farm
training or hunting readily bring from
So to SIS. Exhibition specimens bring
from Sl5 to $50, or even 500, while ac-
tual plize-winners are worth almost any
figure.
Don't nibble between meals, give the

Fats are nerve food. The best fats are
found in butter and cream.
Tea and coffee when used at all at meal
time should be slipped. So should water
Late hair arrangements show fiat brush

middle AT the back the coil is built
out very far the profile view being quite
after the fashion of old Greek beauties.
If the digestion of child or adult is
imperfect give attention to the teeth first
of all. If the grinders are defective or
absent have them filled or replaced so
that there may be a full set of active
grinders. Many woman. after years OF
i'll health, has been greatly improved in
this respect by renovating the masticat-
ing machinery. We have admired the
spirit of the old lady who, in recounting
her blessings said that she had two teeth
left and thanked the good Lord that they
were opposite each other. But did it ever
occur to you that probably her digestion
was poor and her breath bad? Look after
the teeth without fail.
Women who have handsome corals find
that they look well with pretty shades OF
