FACE POWDER SHOULD BE
CAREFULLY APPLIED TO SKIN

Face powder, a protection when ap-
piled with discrimination to the COM
pleXion, may do much harm during cold
weather, because the cold Is drying, and
powder has the same effect, and the two
in combination may cause roughness
which only months of treatment will
smooth away.
In my opinion, always In winter be-
fore going into the street a thin coat
ing of cold cream should be rubbed over
the cheeks and chin. The merest atom
on the finger tip may be smoothed over,
SO that slight amount of cream COW
ers the whole surface neutralizlng the
unhappy effects of temperature After
that powder may be busted On. Ihen
when leaving the house the skin should
be rubbed with an astringent lotion that
will remove the dust from the pores

season To prepare this lotion an entire
head of the vegetable is separated ana

placed in new agate or porcelain sauce

Fads for Women.

Surely almost every hat boasts a hand
some buckle this year.
They are to be seen in every size
ceivable material. Metals. lace, fur, bro
cade satin. velvet, chiffon and cloths are
all represented, while there are square
buckles, oval buckles. round shapes and
oblons ones, depending upon the kind OF
hat they decorate.
Loops of ribbon will be an excuse for
using pretty metal buckle to trim a
smart little turban, while folds of black
velvet can be passed through a long
handsome buckle of gold or silver lace
encicing the crown of a large chamois-
covered hat.
For supporting light weight curtains
and similar draperies there is nothing
prettier than rods of bamboo. When the
wooden poles are considered too heavy
and the brass rods commonplace try
bamboo.
The lengths may be bought in all thick
nesses. and no finish beyond smooth saw
ing is required.
The pretty coloring and slight gloss of
this wood makes an artistic support for
the ecru cross-striped SILK curtains. Tiny
brass rings and small brass brackets are
the usual furnishing for the poles.
Brilliant paste buttons are effective
with various stone centerS or black on
light furs, carrying out the note of rich
ness and color characteristic of this sea-
sons styles.
White coats for infants are exceedingly
elaborate They are fashioned from
heavy bengaline and peau de sole and
trimmed with yards of baby Irish lace
and insertion.
Beautiful evening wraps of white en-
broidered crepe are bordered with white
fur.

CHRISTMAS MAIL MATTER.
Post Office Directions Given Out to
Guide Public.

The following directions regarding the
mailing of Christmas matter have been
sent out by the Post Office Department:
All mail must be fully prepaid by
means Of postage stamps.
Red Cross stamps are not good Tor
postage. Where Red Cross stamps are
used on other than first-class matter
care should be used in affixing them so
as not to seal the package. Failure to
observe these requirements will render
the parcel liable to first-class postage.
Whenever practicable. packages to be
mailed should be brought to the main
office, rather than to a station. Ihls VIII
facilitate their dispatch and lessen the
liability of miscarriage of letters.
Every package should bear In the upper
left-hand corner of it the name and adj
dress of the sender This is very i'm
portant. 1t is better to do this also In
the case of letters.
The address of every letter or package
should be written plainly, and 1t should
include the name of the street and the
number of the residence or place of busi-
ness of the addressee.
All packages should be wrapped Sc
curely so as to lessen the chance of
breakage. but they are not to be sealed
against inspection, unless paid for at the
letter rate of postage, nor should they
contain any written matter.
Matter of value should be registered.
When remittanceS are to be made the
money should be sent either registered or
by means of money orders.
All matter should be mailed as much
in advance of Christmas as is possible.
