RED EARS A BEAUTY HANDICAP.
~ So Troubled, Girls Must Pay At.
tention to the Diet.

The same girl who will go to untold
trouble to get the color out OF her
nose seems to give herself no concern
IL her cars are flaming signals on
each side her face. Yet red ears are
caused BY the same troubles that
make for red nose and should be
as carefully fought.
Who ever heard Of dieting for the
ears? Yet If they burn and are scar
let, nine times out of ten the diges.
ton is at fault.
To keep the ears to that delicate
blush pink that Is the sign OF beauty,
do not eat over-seasoned foods or in
dulge in sudden changes from heat
to cold, as a boiling cup of chocolate
followed by a plate of ice cream.
Pickles in overdoses are said to
make the ears flush and burn. while
rich or greasy foods are equal to q
tube of oarmine paint as maker OF
vivid hues.
The ears chap as well as the rest
of the face, and care should be taken
to protect them with veil when
walking on cold or blustery days.
If the ears are outstanding or Of an
ugly shape, especial care should be
taken not to add redness to their
ugliness. Some girls powder them
excessively. This is a mistake, as 1t
gives q slovenly look to the face II
not well done.
The powder should be applied with
a soft cloth and well rubbed In so
that not a particle stands on the sur
face.
Oddly enough, there is nothing
more becoming to the chronically red
ear than to wear screw earrings of
turquois, The blush green tint has
a tendency to whiten the ears and
make them appear pallid.

Safety Pin Tape Needle.

II you mislay your tape needle,
which is constantly happening to the
most orderly Of US, for they are
elusive little things, do not think you
must give up what you are intending
to do with 1t, but resort to q safety
pin. A more excellent substitute can
not be found. Put the end Of the
ribbon through the pin, and when 1t
is clasped use the twisted end for
point and push 1t through the opening
where you wish 1t, using 1t just as
you would a needle, only, of course.
taking more care, as 1t is broad and
sometimes needs to be coaxed q lit
tie to do its work. It viii carry tape
as well as ribbon and is really invalu'
able in an emergency.

RoAp-BoUNp IN WINTER.
SEASON When Much Work on High
Ways Should Be Done.

The farmer has plenty Of leisure
from December 10 March, but for the
remainder Of the year he Is exceeding.
ly busy, having little time for recre.
alton and pleasure. II he and his
family are to have social life, the win.
ter Is their opportunity. The social
circle in every town and village should
include the farm, and the dwellers on
the farm should mcet with the town
folk in social gatherings. Both viii
profit by this mingling; they will be
come better acquainted. will better un
derstand each other. and prejudice
will give way to friendship.
What is there to hinder? Roads,
only roads. These are nearly always
bad in winter and often practically i'm.
passable. There is no pleasure in driv.
ing over heavy, muddy road. and
still worse is rough, frozen one. The
fact is. the winter Is the time when
good roads are most needed. They
would enable the farmer to go to town
and get out of his shell, keeping In
touch with the world. They would
enable the youth upon the farm tc
have the social privileges, the enjoy.
ment and the wholesome recreation
their natures demand, ana are theirs
by right, but which are denied them
by bad roads. Such conditions have
driven thousands, yes, tens Of thou.
sands Of the youth from the farm tc
the cities, draining the farms of their
best blood. Good roads mean higher
citizenship, better morals, better edu.
cation, more pleasure and less drudg
cry. Nothing pays so well as good
roads, and the best is none too good

croeheted Sleeves.

With the fashion for transparent
sleeves in any elaborate indoor gown
those who are tired of tulle and net
are using crocheted silk. This sleeve
is quite tight, and extends to the ell
bow or the wrist. as both lengths are
used for indoor affairs.
The crecheting Is done in q wide.
open pattern that often looks like lat
tice work. Double and triple silk
floss is used, and there is no lining.
While these sleeves are usually the
color OF the gown one sees here and
there q sleeve that is a contrast.
Gold floss will be used with white
.fiock. Amethyst silk win be used
with a cream and white gown. Dull
rcd will be set into black net frocks
worn by young women.
The finish of such sleeve Is quite
simple, merely a fold or two OF net.

FARM NOTES.

Sow clover with oats. It viii do
wonders for the corn crop the follow.
ing year. Clover straw should be scat.
tered back over the fields after thresh-
ing. Oftentimes there is success in
seeding alfalfa with barley.
A little road dust will quickly absorb
the ammonia in the horses stall and
kill the nasty smelling gas.
A mule once drew heavy load up q
steep hill; when he had almost
reached the top he kicked himself
loose and the load rolled down the
hill. That mule had to go back and
draw the same load to the top Of The
same Hill again. There are lots Of
mules In the world. Ponder. and BE-
wise.

Don't let your farmers meetings
drift into mutual admiration society
in which nothing better is talked
about than neighborhood gossip, which
pats those present on the bacl; and
criticises the absent neighbors. Make
such meetings profitable by taking up
real farm problems and discussing
them.
