For Beautiful Ewes.

The first point to understand is the
Importance of good general health.
Eyes require daily attention, fresh
air, cleanliness and even exercise.
Nine hours sleep a night In a we'll
ventilated room Is splendid eye med
icine.
To cleanse the eyes, open them while
the face is half submerged In a basin
of cold water. Cold water is an excel
lent tonic for both eyes and lashes.
For exercise, move the eyes upward
and downward and from side to side
with the head held well up and per.
fectly still.
This strengthens the muscles, which
Use and lower the eyeballs and
rings to the eyes healthy supply OF
blood
Large-type books, good light and
good position when reading are all
cases of that prevention which is the
best cure.

Beauty Hints.

Beauty Hints.
Lemon juice and glycerine is good
to soften and whiten the hands.
Butter milk Is a good wash to re-
move tan.
After long drive or day on the
water, do not wash the face in cold
water, but rub 1t well with cold cream
or if that is not at hand, sweet cream
from milk is every bit as good. 1t
will soothe and cool the skin.
The girl who has been struggling
vainly with the dingy brown line on
the neck, the result of high and tight
collars, should use pumice stone. If
rubbing the stone and soapy water
on the neck is too hard for the skin.
try mixing powdered pumice with
cold cream. Finish the process by
washing with a lather of white soap.
Pumice stone, powdered, is a good
cleanser for the teeth, removes the
tartar and keeps them white and
clean.

JAPANESE BAMBOO BOXES
They Come in Nests and Are Useful
for Holding Many Articles Of Young
Girls Wardrobe.

Japanese bamboo boxes, which come
In nests, are useful for holding the
many trif1es of a young girls ward
robe. 1t Is only recently that these
offerings from the orient could be OBJ
tanned here, but now all the leading
shops dealing in eastern goods keep
them. The original set comprises six
rectangular receptacles about two or
TWO and half inches in depth. By
using the larger of each group of two
Tor the cover one may have three sep
arate and convenient places In which
TO keep ribbons, gloves, collars and
the various trinkets which so easily
lose themselves In a dresser drawer.
The rich reddish brown of the bam-
boo cannot fail to please the eye Of
any girl. The wood is split into strips,
about half an inch wide and woven to-
gether in an open basket pattern.
The edges are strongly bound with
strips of the bamboo laced together.
Other baskets are to be found in this
same material, and the fern holders
are unusually charming when filed
with fresh green moss and delicate
green sprays. These baskets are lined
with dull brass boxes, which slip into
the bamooo part, so that they do not
show from the outside For country
houses they are particularly well
adapted, and so are the large handled
baskets for holding the garden now
ers as they are freshly culled.
Japanese straw sandals are another
useful article which can be picked up
In these oriental shops. They have
woven soles of grass or fiber, with
cross straps of lowered silk to match
ones kimono. Or If they do not
match in coloring the original straps
can be covered with @ silk that does.
Other sandals have embroidered coy
erings for the toes and are heelless
like the strapped ones.

AS floor covering linoleum Is one
of the most satisfactory.
Do not use soap suds for scrubbing
floor as it Injuries the varnish, ma
king the colors dim. On farm where
there Is plenty of milk there Is moth
Ing better for cleaning and brighten
Ing linoleum than skinned milk.
II milk cannot be used entirely add
a cupful to a few quarts of warm wa
ter or little kerosene oil. Wiring out
cloth and go over the linoleum after
giving 1T good busting 1t will look
quite new and fresh and the finish
will be uninjured.
Linoleum will last much longer II It
Is given a good coat of varnish every
year. Keep off Of it until well dried
and hard.
In buying linoleum it pays to get a
good piece. A color that doesn't show
the dust is most desirable, and have
1t carefully laid. Often after using 1t
few weeks 1t will be necessary to
tighten 1t as wrinkles form and If
not removed will crack and ruin the
looks of the floor.
Such floor covering Is easy to
care for and always looks we'll.

Lingerie Dresses.

A very simple white embroidered
frock may be vastly improved by en-
bordering over the design In colored
silk. Flower designs, of course. best
lend themselves to this treatment. One
very pretty lingerie dress embroidered
in a rose pattern has been worked
over in pale pinks and green's at the
yoke and the girdle. thus giving a dis
tinctive touch to a dainty but rather
usual frock.
The embroidery done in this way is
especially effective in deep skirt
f1ounces and in a running pattern
down the sleeves. Often only a part
of the white design is thus colored.
and combined with hat and a para
sol to match, the simple dress may
thus form the nucleus of really str1-
king costume.

Chocolate.

both great favorites
Chocolate mousse, bavarian cream,
