Los ANGELES HERALD: THURSDAY MORNING. july 15 1909
ECONOMIES IN NURSERY

To the mother of limited income the
practice Of small economies in to nurs-
cry is almost obligatory By this is
not meant denying the children neces-
saries, or even little comforts, nor even
stinting them in these matters, for
many little economies can be practiced
without adopting either Of these
courses.
First, a very great saving can be eff
fected in the years expenditure by a
careful economy in the little ones
wardrobe. Every mother likes to see
her children prettily and dainttly
dressed, and the means to do this are
not always forthcoming unless a Ger
tain amount Of care and forethought
be exercised.
The mother or nurse who can alter
and remodel children's things can eff
feet very great saving by renovat-
ing the dresses and coats which the
older children have outgrown for their
juniors, by unpicking and remaking the
gowns of groWn-up sisters for the
schoolgirl, and even by utilizing some
of the mothers last season dresses for
the children, white and colored mus
Inns, soft silk and zephyrs being espe-
cially suitable for this purpose.
Dresses destined to be remade for the
children should be carefully unpicked,
washed when necessary, and then have
the pattern of some little garment laid
upon the pieces, which should have
been previously ironed.

Best of All Cosmetics Is Rest

A LII cosmetics and toilet applications
"a will be useless to a woman If
IA she does not take care of her skin
and health, for without a certain
amount of attention to conserving
energy she will be wrinkled and lined,
and her hair will be prematurely gray.
Rest at some time and under some
condition, is imperative each day.
No person who lives an active life
gets enough repose through the night
to supply her with enough energy for
the 16 hours or more of her day.
The veriest tyro knows that to take
off ones tight clothing and go to bed
is the most perfect physical rest that
may be secured, but this is luxury
that few except those of the wealthy
and leisure class can indulge In.
Yet working girl may rest, even in
a street car, if she will close her eyes
and relax her muscles little, not
sitting braced.
In this way she will let down the
nervous tension.
Shutting ones eyes is wonderful
assistance to exhausted nerves.
TO do this at home, when conditions
are not such as to premit lying down,
is far better than always having the
lids wide epart and unconsciously look
ing at some object.

A RED eERANIuM LUNCHEON

The most stunning table imaginable
is achieved when red geraniums are
used exclusively as the decoration for
the luncheon. They are available alike
to both city and country hostesses, as
nearly every one has bed of these
brilliant garden flowers and they are
usually at their brightest when other
blossoms are on the wane.
Fill large glass bowl with the scar
let posies, using their own rich leaves
for the green. Red candles in holders
of glass, scarlet paper bonbon and nut
boxes, with ribbons of the same hue
leading to the place cards, which should
be white with a red geranium thrust
through the corner. The hostess should
be gowned in white, with red belt,
stock and slippers; or the dress may
be of red muslin with white accessories.
First serve a cherry cocktail, then to-
mato bouillon, salmon croquettes with
Julienne potatoes, beet salad and rasp-
berry sherbet The cakes may be iced
in red, as there is a harmless fruit coll
loring; a confectioner will make cream
patties to match in coloring If the or
der is given a few days ahead.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-07-15

The strain of a busy day downtown
will be tremendously relieved if a girl
will take five minutes of her lunch
hour in a dressing room or other COM
paratively quiet place and close her
eyes.
She must not make the mistake, how
ever, of spending the whole of this five
minutes looking at her watch to see If
time is up, for in that way she will
getnothing but fatigue from the effort.
Another way of resting is to relax the
muscles when sitting.
A girl who notices will be apt to find
that frequently her muscles are tense,
as though she were holding the chair
instead of sitting on it.
Some warm drink or easily digested
food will rest person, nervously and
physically.
So will a cup of warm milk or one of
cocoa. The latter is easily digested,
and is not to be COMPOUNDED with choco-
late, which is rich.
A cup of hot water Is better than
nothing, for it brings blood from the
brain, and is slightly stimulating.
When a positive stimulant is required
cup of hot tea is to be preferred to
any alcoholic form of liquid, for the lat
ter has bad effect on the nervous
system,

SLEEP EoR The sLEEPLEss

A French specialist has come to the
rescue of persons afflicted with insom-
MIA. His method is somewhat vaguely
described as "lulling the wideawakes
to Inconsistencies much as babies are
put to slumber.
ut is a perfect palace of peace that
he has opened in lovely Touraine. Here
is never a disturbing sound. The silence
is broken only by the absolutely monot-
onous and soothing tick, took, tick of
solid grandfather clocks, and the
scarcely perceptible drip of unseen
fountains.
Everything is seen through a ceruL
lean haze, everybody moves in list slip
pers the air is fresh but full of faint
perfume. Before the eyes of very re-
fractory patients slowly revolve colored
balls, not the smallest rose leaf is al
lowed to crumple in any bed, each being
so designed that there is no possibility
of the body growing weary. Here, in
fact, the wooing of sleep has been made
a positive silence, and it is said no one
can keep awake here, however hard he
may try."-Ladies' Pictorial.

waited for an answer. Whatever that
answer may be, it is to be hoped that

THE WORK LADY

CHILDREN OF sLuMs STURDY

Medical inspection of infants is likely
to assume Importance in this country
within q few years 1t Is during the
early life that what show themselves as
slight defects are the initial points of
later serious disease. 1t is an English
movement of a year past to have chill
dren examined by the authorities at the
age of from to years to detect the
beginning of disease, such. for example,
as tubercular bone and joint disease,
which If not caught very early often
produces permanent injury or gripping
AS q corollary to this the English are
beginning to realize that medical school
inspection means the establishment of
school clinics, for otherwise there will
frequently be no treatment afforded by
the parents and the value of the In
spection will be nullified. DR.. Dali in
London has already observed the very
young in fourteen schools. and as a by
product has determined that the sur
vivors of the "slum" children at 5 are
as a rule sturdier and quicker than the
more carefully nurtured ones.-Boston

Married in the month OF roses bloom,
Life will be one long, sweet tune
Married in July with flowers ablaze,
Bltter-sWeet memories in after days.
Married in Augustus heat and browse,
Lever and friend is your chosen spouse.
Married in September's golden glow,
Smooth and serene your life will flow.
Married when leaves in October thin.
Toll and hardship for you begin
Married in wells Of November mist
Dame Fortune your wedding ring has kissed
Married in days of DEFENDERS cheer,
Loves star burns brighter from year to year

is:
Married in May and klrked In green.
Both bride and bridegroom won't long be seen
Unlucky days for weddings are:

1t is most fortunate TO be married
on the bridegrooms birthday. The
day of the week one is born on is re-
garded as a fortunate wedding day for
a man, but the reverse for a woman.
Regarding the dress of the bride, she
must have three things. says the Bos-
ton transcripts ring on her finger, Il
brooch on her heart signlfying maiden
ly innocence, a garland on her head
signifying the gladness and dignity of
wedlock. The pins used about the
wedding toilet should all be thrown
away; if the bridemaids keep them
they will not marry before Whitsun-
tide"
Fate is said to be foretold by the hue
of the wedding gown.
A bride should always wear
Something old and something new.
Something borrowed and something blue.
and sometimes the following line is
added to the above couplet:
And a four-leaf clover put in her shoe.

KEEPING SCORES

Those who give card parties are al
ways anxious to get new and clever
methods of keeping individual scores
Everything that can be thought of has
been done in the way of ingenious
cards.
At a recent card party novelty was
introduced by giving each guest wire
bracelet. Every time game was won
a. colored bead was strung on it. These
made rather pretty souvenirs to take
home.
AS gold wire was used and vivid
stones of large size were chosen, the
bangles of the winners were quits gay
ornaments before the evening was over
Another hostess elaborated this idea by
using tiny 1O-cent toys instead of beads,
These were hooked in the bracelet with
bits of gold wire This idea was en-
Enthusiastically received, and it might
make good suggestion for hostesses
Of coming card parties.

COURTESY AS A BUSINESS ASSET

q issue of Harper's Weekly. Good
breeding, good nature, expressed in an
attitude of universal courtesy, consti-
tute a business asset as valuable on one
side of the desk as on the other" The
average American, says the author, has
no use for a chronic Crouch"
"pickle-face" or a "knocker." There is
the type of anthropoid ape who paints
the word private on the door of the in
ner room in which he sits, and around
the outer door of the outer room he
places railing with a gate that swings
out. HE then hires an office boy, or,
preferably an Office girl, at $40 a week,
to sit in the outer office. answer the
telephone and furnish information as
to when the great man within will see
