bright with sunshine and fragrant with
roses and mignonette.
How coy it seems here!" he said,
looking round appreciatively. "Are you
in a great hurry to go out, or may chat

when Girls should Marry.

May Sutton, the champion tennis
player, has broken her engagement be-
cause she is convinced that girls
should not marry till they are %. Ts.o
has led to a discussion in England on
the proper marriage age of women.
Lady Cadagan, who is twice a widow,
is among those who agree with Miss
Sutton. She says no girl knows her
own mind in her teens that a man of
2S is 4S in experience, that the ideal
marriage comes after disappointments
and is based on sympathy and respect
rather than romance.

At a diapers shop in Leeds they

she exclaimed:
"Oh, really, l must be mad. / want

Health and Beauty Hints.


Put hot fiannels over the seat of
neuralgia pain and renew frequently.
Buttermilk is good for the removal
of freckles, tan and butternut stains.
A change of shoes and stockings
completely will be found as soothing
as anything for tired feet.
A bad bruise can be eased by apply
ing turpentine. This is also excellent
if one has run a rusty nail into the
flesh.
Nothing relieves the sting of mos
quito bites or the itching of hives
like bathing them in a weak solution
of carbolic acid and water.
If the clothes seem to have stuck
to wound do not tear them of, but
soften with warm olive oil the parts
that adhere, having first cut away the
clothing close to the wound with sharp
scissors.
For a bad sprain, put first under
hot water and then under cold. Keep
this up until the doctor arrives. Or
bandage the wound in some of the
clay preparations recommended to re-
duce swelling and pain.
1t is said that chewing pieces Of
cinnamon bark gives relief to sensitive
teeth and gums For the sensitive
ness brought about by acid fruits
cleaning the teeth with precipitated
chalk and water is satisfactory. The
brush must be soft.
Stout people should limit the
amount of potatoes and sugar they
eat, as these articles of food favor the
deposit of fat underneath the skin.
Dry toast, lean meat, stewed fruit and
fish are suitable foods in treating
obesity. and rich, fat, sweet and greasy
dishes ought to be avoided.
To breathe deeply is TO stimulate
the heart and the circulation. 1t
means a full. high chest and broad
shoulders. 1t means practical immun-
ity from the dangers incurred by ex-
posture. 1t means a good carriage and
well-poised head. And best of all,
it means perfect physical health.

"a Feather I'm Ones Cap"

Our expression, "A Feather in Ones
Cap" originated in Hungary IN 1899.
At that time it was an ancient Gus
tom among the Hungarians that no
one was permitted to wear feather in
his hat unless he had killed Turk.
1t was a law that for each slain Turk
the slayer should be allowed to wear
one feather.

Covers for Medicine TumbIer..

If you have not regular medicine
glasses with glass lids, the best COW
ers for them are round circles of stiff
pasteboard. They are cheap, easily
prepared. noiseless and can be thrown
out when even slightly soiled. Should
there be several glasses of medicine
to take in succession, have in the cen
ter of one disc single red star. in
the second two stars and on the third
three. The proper rotation Is thus
easily followed by changing after each
dose. When a spoon is used to mark
the glass it may fall off.
