BEAUTY HINTS.

To improve the contour of the face
try filling the cheeks with air and let
ting it explode with a soft explosive
sound. Do this fifteen or twenty times
a day.
A glass of hot water taken just after
rising, a half hour before breakfast,
will cure Indigestion.
Very hot water externally applied
will stop dangerous bleeding.
1t is as important not to get too thin
as too fat, as either condition makes
even Il young girl look several years
older than her actual age. A girl who
considers herself fully grown should
ascertain what is the correct weight
for her height and then try to attain
and maintain that standard.
Peroxide Of hydrogen is harmless
bleach when used in moderation. Pour
little in Il saucer and apply with a
soft linen cloth. 1t may be used sew
eral times a week without injury.
Overplump girls should carefully
study their figures and decide where
in they are faulty. Usually the waist
line is too high. The waist may be
heightened. by touching the floor with
the finger tips twenty times every
morning. This practice is better than
wearing shape making corsets, for
when the waist is too tightly confined
the figure loses its natural grace and
ease of movement.
Somersaults are not dignihed, but
they are one Of the best of all weight
reducing exercises. They will take
off fat rapidly and safely-barring
few bruises-unless one has a tenden-
cy to heart weakness.
Weakness of the heart is indicated
by breathlcssness after any slight eY-
ertion and by such evidences of imper
feet circulation as pale finger nails
and cold eXtremkies.
The harder the toothbrush the more
effectually 1t cleans the teeth.
Alcohol or ether will dry the hair
quickly, but 1t will turn the hair gray.
One cannot have pretty hand If the
fingers are broad at the tips Pressing
down on the ends of the fingers from
the first joint to the tip will, if done
many times day, remedy this de-
feet.
Before starting for lengthy morn
ing walk glass of milk should be
INDUCED in.
TO get the full value Of cold cream
IT must be let dry on the face. 1t
takes time for the skin to absorb 1t.

JEWEL WEARING AN ART.
Diamonds Becoming to Few Women
Brunettes Can Wear Them.

Diamonds Becoming to Few Women
Brunsttes Can Wear Them.
Jewel wearing is an art few women
understand Women should choose
gems becoming to their beauty and
complexion.
On dull eyed days the eyes VIII
appear dullsr with diamonds in tho
ears, and the sad pale woman will
appear livid wearing pearls.
Diamonds are becoming to few .wo-
men. There are brunettes who can
wear them in the cars and appear
well. The pale blond also looks pretty
with diamonds in her ears, but the
average woman should wear her dla-
monds elsewhere
Some wear topaz and other yellow
stones who dare not venture to wear
brilliant colors. They take to all
shades of yellow, from amber to the
pale shades of tortoise shell and gold.
The amber loving woman has a
creamy complexion Her skin is clear,
and n faint red shows in the cheeks.
There is the topaz beauty also, whose
skin is creamy with a touch Of olive
In 1t. She looks lovely with rubies in
her ears, but pearls are not for her.
Lucky the woman who can wear
coral. A coral skinned beauty's cheeks
must be as bright as the reddest coral,
with shadings of delicate pink. 1t is a
good plan to rub the cheeks with a
rough towel to massage them with
good creams and use plenty of water,
not forgetting an occasional milk bath.
Turquoises are difficult tot wear to
advantage. The stones bring out the
pallor. A baby face with eyes of clear,
shining blue looks well with turquoises
near it. The black eyed woman and
the woman with brownish eyes should
not attempt to wear them, for the
stones are too bright. The woman with
turquoise eyes can wear n string of
blue around her neck advantageously
and can put turquoises in her ears.

THE HOME CARPENTER.

Many Women Take Courses In Man
uaI Training.
The thrifty woman does her own odd
Jobs around the house. To wait for her
husband is hard on the patience, and
dependence on carpenter for little
breaks is both a time and money
waster.
Many women today are taking sim
pie course in manual training for no
other reason than to be independent
when q chair breaks down or faucet
springs aleak. Light sets of tools are
made especially for their use, and they
soon acquire a skill as to quite dis
prove the old nail driving SANDER.
There are housekeepers who can put
on washer, tinker with a broken
crate or put in burned out fire brick as
well as a professional. They learn how
to supply missing paneS of glass or
scrape and do over Il chair or table.
One young woman who in the zeal
of keeping her new home in good con
dition took lessons from an old carpen-
ter in repair work soon developed such
an aptitude with tools that she studied
woodcarving and upon the death Of
her husband carried it on successfully
as Il profession.
Skill in mending is a particularly
useful accomplishment for a woman
who lives in the country or far from a
carpenter. If there is no way to take
q course in manual training, a carpen-
ter or plumber can generally be found
who will teach the rudiments of re-
pairing for small fee.

thickly, like a drunken man. A misty
