ALMOND OIL NOURISHES
SKIN FOR COLD WEATHER
Can Be Easily Prepared at Home the Direc-
tons Are Carefully Followed

Almond oil is among the least costly
and most useful Of toilet articles, and at
this season, when grease in some form
is required to aourish the skin and pre-
vent chapping, bottle of it should be
on the washstand for frequent use.
A simple way Of applying it to soften
and whiten the hands is to pull on a pair
of old kid gloves to keep it from rub
bling off.
In this treatment after washing the
hands thoroughly and drying them they
must be wet copiously with the Oil, rub
bling it over the wrists. Then French
chalk is spread on paper and the fingers
and wrists are laid In n, the Oil causing
the chalk to adhere. A large pair Of kid
gloves is then drawn on for the night. In
these holes may be made in the palms for
ventilation. Three nights OF this treat
ment will work wonders in improving
the skin.

better. This may be done during the
day, and there will be no appearance of
greasiness. by warming the Oil, thus
thinning it, so small quantity works
better than a larger one.
Rough elbows, condition by no means
uncommon. usually soften and become
smooth and white after a few applica-
tons of this oil. To apply, it must be
gently warmed by setting cup con-
tanning it into basin of hot water. The
grease then is placed in a receptacle
sufficiently large to permit of putting in
the elbow, and the joint is kept in the
bath for five minutes at least Afterward
handage of cheesecloth is wet with oil
and bound on for the night !.
Almond oil is excellent for massage of
the neck and throat. but should be used
on the face with discretion. for it is apt
to promote a growth of superf1uous hair.
1t is an ingredient in many hair tonics and
may be applied full strength to the scalp,
being beneficial where a condition of dry
ness exists. There is no better way of
putting 1t on than with the finger tips,
parting the hair. and letting the grease
go along on the skin. 1t may be per-
fumed with few drops of any spicy oil.

: For the Young Girl.

The pretty girl of the house was in d
ouandary, and so she went to the house
hold oracle to submit her case. Her
difficulty was this. Two men callers had
arrived at practically the same hour the
night before. She expected only one, but
every girl knows there sometimes arrives
another who would be more welcome had
he chosen a different time. The first ar
rival was one to whom this girl is en-
gagged, or would be had he money enough
to make home for her. He undoubtedly
thinks that the second arrival is a real
rival, and he knows, alas, that the second
has money-quite nice little income.
So it stands to reason that he who has
only his affection to offer. with no i'll
come to back it, frowned through that
time until he could take his departure,
which was early, and with chilling polite
ness.
Croesus-the comparative CroeSuS-had
the rest of the evening TO himself and
particularly nice time. because the girl
was piqned by the chilliness of the fare
well Of the first. and so made herself un-
usually agreeable.
But, poor girl land this is where the
oracle comes i'm. she spent most OF the
night in tears because she didn't see how
the impoverished one could be so silly.
sorry, and so, of cour &c, he would never
come again to see her.
But the oracle shook her head and spoke
thus:
You are wrong. 1t isn't wrong to
have the other man call upon you If you
are not trying to fiirt with him. If you
are you are acting dfsoyally and UNI
fairly. Your mistake is in saying you
will not write the first to come again.
You are not seeing his side. 1t is not
necessarily jealousy or ugliness that sent
him away; he was hurt. One of the
hardest things a man has to live through
is the consciousness. when he honestly
loves a girl that he hasn't money enough
to make a home for her. Many other
men could. and when he sees one of those
with the girl he loves he is Inundated by
the comparison with himself and a little
afraid. too.
1T isn't a disagreeable fear but a
human one, because lie cannot know
whether the girl really cares for him.
And may not the advantages the other
man can offer be greater to her than is
his love. 1t is this combination of hui
initiation and fear that makes many a
man sit silent.
so, as you were hostess, | think you
should write first and say you are sorry
soon to see you. Each girl has her own
| way of mending matters when they have
gone wrong, and you will be sweeter
and much happier If you make the first
advance in this instance. You will know
from the way it is met whether the man
is ugly or only hurt. and In either case
you will have nothing with which to re-
proach yourself
Il think I'll write to him now the
girl said softly. And there is the moral
| for those who need it.
