Rrau md Oatmeal.

Constantly the advice is given to use
bran and oatmeal for softening and
whitening the skin, yet comparatively
few women know how to use it to the
best advantage.
The dry meal can be used on the
moistened hands as is soap. but better
effects are gained by making it into a
wash or lotion.
This is easily done by boiling a
large handful of the meal in enough
water to form a thin Cruel.
The liquid is then strained and used
slightly more diluted when the hands
are washed.
AS these washes quickly sour 1t is
well not to make too large a quantity
at once
To save trouble keep a small alcohol
lamp in the bathroom and boil the
Cruel in a tin vessel just large enough
TO hold the desired amount.
1t can be strained through squares
OF old muslin which are later thrown
away.

The Widow a Good Wife.

Recent statistics indicate that the
popularity of the widow is waning;
but should this be the case she can
most certainly afford to be generous,
for her reputed charm has almost be-
come proverbial. There are many in
stances of the second marriage of wild
ows, and it is noticeable that the hus-
band in such cases frequently happens
to be the younger of the two. This is
not extraordinary, for women invaria-
bly, remain young longer than men,
and a woman who has encountered the
exceedingly enlightening experience of
married life knows exactlyh how to deal
with a man. She is intuitive and can
instantly diagnose his mood. If he
appears worried and distract, she is
tactfully quiet and sympathetic. She
does not force his confidence, because
she realizes quiet we'll that he will
probably tell her everything later on.
When necessary widow is more en-
tertaining than a young girl. Her
knowledge of life has made her inter
esting; her experience has sharpened
her intellect, and she knows exactly
what to say upon each occasion. AS a
hostess she is usually perfect Her
previous knowledge of married life has
necessitated the requirement of cult
nary art. and she realizes that a
dainty, well-served dinner appeals to a
mans soul quite as much as mere
beauty of figure But she is careful
