The Cream. Bath.

When Woman's face is inclined to dry
ness in cold weather, the less she uses
water on it the better. as / have said so
many times before, and l feel justified in
repeating this statement, for water is
drying and will agsravate the condition
that other agents which are cleansing
may soothe and even heal.
A person who is willing to take the
trouble to use sweet cream daily on her
face will give the best of treatment A
tablespoonful of cream Is sufficient for
this bath. To every tablespoonful Of
cream should be put ten drops of tincture
of benzon. This latter preserves the in
tegrity of the cream and is an excellent
application
To use this mixture a small bit of old
soft linen should be saturated and the
face then thoroughly wet The throat
and flesh behind the ears should also be
bathed. Then with the finger tips the
surface so anointed must be rubbed gent
" for five minutes This will send the
cream into the pores and loosen the dust.
The face must then be wet with more
cream-this last wash is to remove the
soiled application
Before retiring is the best tine for this
work. The last amounting must remain
on all night. In the morning the face
should be wiped with lotion of one
eighth glycerin. the other seven parts be-
ing rose water he wash Is intended TO
| have just enough gylcern in it to pre-
| vent the astringent action of rose water
| Several correspondents have asked me
recently If sweet almond oil in full
strength is good for the skin. [ consider
| f is not, although in combination with
other ingredients it is valuable. Used by
itself it is too heavy. Bitter almond oil
| is to be regarded a powerful agent as
| the smallest percentage only is put into
creams and lotions.
Applied by itself it would be an ex-
| IRENE irritant-
| Honey should be used more often than
it is for it is bleaching and softening. In
conjunction with other materials its
| thickness is overcome by mixing two
ounces of pure honey, strained, with one
half ounce each of glycern and rectified
spirits. one and one-half drains of pure
| citric acid and three drops of musk
The honey and glycerin are put into n
| CHINA cup and set into hot water to min
gle. The acid is put into the sp rits, and
when dissolved these two mixtures are
| blended. This can be used both as a
| cream and as a cleansing agent.
Care must be taken that the honey used
/ is pure. Some Ct the so-called strained
| is glucose and is entirely without honey.

A Spanish Menu.

If you wish to try a Spanish dinner

They are eaten in this manner, the fork

These ingredients must Simmer slowly,
and when done the stock is poured off
and vermicelli is added. Both vegetables
and meat in Spain are served separately.
This stock possesses far more of the
vegetable element than the ordinary

Making Christmas
Presents at Home

There is the gardening bag among
Christmas novelties this year, and some
persons will like it better than basket,
because the former can be more easily
carried
True to it's name, this bag is for an
amateur gardener to hang over her arm
as she goes into her garden to work or
to cut flowers. This bag may be made
of whatever material a woman chooses,
but silk is not practical, as certain
amount of strength is essential. There
fore cretonne will be serviceable, for it
has firmness as well as being pretty.
Gardening bags are equipped with d
pair of garden scissors, trowel, pair
Of heavy gloves, pruning knife, a small
ball of cord and a piece Of wire, colled
These are placed in pockets which are
stitched inside the bag about three inches
from the bottom. The inner portion of
the bag is only strip of the material,
with lines of sewing between to form
compartments. Each section, of course, is
large enough to admit the utensils and
the handles of all project, although Gov
cred by the outer or main bag.
A practical size for the outer part is
| twelve inches deep by twenty-four inches
long. 1t is made as any other bag, by
drawing the top on strong cord.
Dainty and useful is a perfumed pad
for the bureau drawer of a young girl.
Though not new, covers for such pads
are being made now. These are of hand
kerchief linen or thin lawn, the two
edges hand-whpped with narrow beading.
In the center of the top side are the girl S
initials embroidered i'm monogram This
lettering may be white or in color. The
pads are of thin muslin. just the size of
the drawer. and sachet powder is sprin-
killed. into thin layer of cotton batting
that is held together by the muslin in
the pad.
A complete set of these pads-that is.
| one for each drawers an elaborate gift
when embroidered.
In fancy work guest towels have be-
come popular, and can be given as gifts.
They are small. about fourteen inches
| wide and three-quarters of a yard long.
Across each end. at the top of a wide
hem, is a conventional border dcne in
colors, the old cross-sttch being used.
The cotton is mercerized and the colors
are warranted to hold, so a girl need
not fear that her work will fade.

Household Hints.

If spot Of machine oil should fall
on white silk when machining after
olling, little bread should be crum-
bled Immediately over the top of it.
To renew gilt frames which have be-
come dull and lusterless a paste should
be made of spirits of wine and whiting
and laid over the gliding. This must
be left until it has dried into a cake,
when 1T can easily be brushed off and
the gilt polished.
When using d lemon in the kitchen
for flavoring purposes it is an excellent
plan to heat it before cutting it in half
1t may be placed in the oven for a
few moments or held on the plate rack
over the fire. When squeezed the juice
will run far more readily than if it
were cold.
Old pieces of velveteen are invaluable
on cleaning day. They are especially
woodwork or glass, while they can be
washed over and over again.
Should hot dish have been placed on
IL highly polished table so that a white
and salt should be procured without
delay. These must be spread over the
place and left for an hour or two. after
which the stain should have diSap-
! peared Raw salad or linseed oil, be-
sides. rubbed into the grain of the wood
