sence "to cure vapors' were necessary for those in love as we'll as a syrup for the trembling at the heart."
 The first surely proved eff1cacious, In fact. a mere sight of the tall blue bot tie made the imagination steady down and the eyes see clearly, for the re- cipe Is an follows: "Take an ounce of the filings of steel. two drams of gentian sliced. half an ounce of carduus seed bruised. half handful of cen- taury tops. Infuse all these in quart of white wine four days and drink four spoonfuls of the clear every morning. fasting two hours after 1t and walking about"
 It seems that most eyii-tasting con- coctions had to be concealed by a gem erous measure of wine to keep up the spirits. probably. as the stoutest hearts must have grown faint at the mere thought of some of the favorite doses for slight disorders.
 The compound for the trembling at the heart" is more to the taste of a woman. for 1t says: Make a syrup of damask roses. and add thereto a small quantity of red coral, pearl and am- bergris. all finely beaten and powdered. Take this So long as your pains con- tinue. about a spoonful at time.
 The cosmetics. however took the greatest amount of time. and a certain paste for the hands required week to make. For this the recipe was: "Blanch and beat a pound of bitter almonds. and in the beating put two handfuls of stoned raisins and beat them until they are very fine. Then take three by four spoonfuls of sack or brandy, as much oxgall. three or four spoonfuls of brown sugar and the yelks of three eggs. Beat 1t we'll together. set 1t over the fire and give 1t two or three boils. When 1t Is almost cold. mix 1t with the almonds, but 1t in gailpots tusually small Dresden tars), and the next day cover 1t close and keep 1t cool. and 1t will be good for five or six months"
 COSMETICS OF COLONIAL BEAUTIES.
 Nowadays all the woman of luxurious rearing has to do to bring to her bou- doir all the unguents and powders that she needs for beautifying her skin Is to stretch her ianguid hand to the nearby telephone. and, with its myteri- ous power summon to her side the masseuse, who rubs in their healing virtues and rubs out all traces of care and worry that may be evident in tiny wrinkles.
 Her ancestress had nc, such help at hand. Her maid, who in Maryland and Virginia. took the shape of black Hebe. or else was of Erlglisn birth. was trained to rub and soothe her mistress with cooling perfumed waterI but this mild treatment was as an infants touch compared with the energetic pounding and general rumpling up that vigor- ous Swede gives in half the time to the present-day fair lady.
 And for the powerful astringents and kbat Slnxf part in the daily toilet of wealth the Colonial dame or damsel had in her strong room, where her linen and sil- yer were stored. sundry china boxes and queer, quaint bottles, which to this day give forth faint and shostly odors, says The Baltimore Sun.
 The contents of these precious china receptacles, says writer in The New York Tribune. were the outcome Of days of careful mixing and drying and making Into sweet-scented powders and pomatums of the gardens best.
 When the damsel had rified the herb beds of their bounty she turned her attention to those where roses and lilies grew and cuiled what she would oi their fragrant petals. In her own par tieular pantry she pounded with nor tar and pestle. and weighed with sil- yer scales each part again and again setting down most carefully every weight. for would not a trihe less oi one balm render the whole impotent against her arch enemy, the freckle and after weeks of work such luck would be more than could be borne.
 LEARNING TO RELAX.
 Have you ever noticed how to urge trolley or train onward when yot are in hurry?
 Do you realize when you are driving the machinery forward with every ten sion of your body7
 Your mind tells you that nothing yor can do will hurry you to the destina' ton. and yet you sit at the edge of the seat, twist and turn. draw all the mus cles into hard knots.
 The car does not sc one inch faster because of all this exhaust of vitality on your part. You might as well keeI still.
 It is not easy to do mo: but 1t is SC sane and helpful when you make uI your mind to do It. You arrive at tho end of the journey just as quickly al though you had worn yourself out, ant you feel rested and willing to go or with the other hours.
