How Letters Strike Our Eyes

Roman letters of various sizes are
commonly called into request by ocu-
lists in testing vision. Recent expert
ments show great differences in the
ease with which the various letters are
recognized by the same person. L is
especially difficult of recognition and
is apt to be mistaken for Y. By sim
liar optical illusion the angle of L is
rounded off, making the letter resem-
BILE reversed j. V is the easiest of
all letters to recognize, and 0 presents
little difficulty. K is more easily rec
ognized than FL. which resembles it
closely. and both N and q are easily
recognized. A is easily guessed at
from it's general form. but is difficult
Of positive recognition, including dis
tinct perception of the horizontal line
e and F are among the most difficult
of all letters.

Getting a Reputation.

There is a desk in the senate par
ttcularly convenient as a place from
which to make speeches. It is next
to the aisle and almost in the center
of the chamber, and affords an oppor-
tunity for the speaker to make every
body hear.
At least a dozen senators, accord
ing to the Washington correspondent
CT the st. Louis Star, have borrowed
this desk when they had special utter
ances to deliver to the senate. This
led. not long ago, to a mild protest
from its legitimate occupant.

WRONG IN THAT DIAGNOSIS
Physicians Method May Have Been
All Right, but Here He was
at Fault.

We are told that the latest sensa-
ton in the medical world is the asser-
ton of a doctor that he is able, by
looking into a patients eye, to make
an accurate diagnosis of the complaint
which the patient is suffering. But is
this really as novel as it is supposed
to be? i recoIlect hearing some time
ago of a doctor who said to a patient
who was under examination: 4 can
see by the appearance of your right
eye what is the matter with you. You
are suffering from liver"
My right eyer" asked the patient.

TO COMPOUND COLD CREAM
Recipe for Most Valuable Toilet Prep
aration Which Can Be Made
at Home.

To make sure of getting cold
cream in which there are no animal
oils many women like to compound
their own massage creams.
They often fail to get results from
a good recipe by not understanding
the art of compromising. Iii cold
creams are made in the same way.
The fatty substances are put in
double boiler and melted, stirring
constantly. When all are melted turn
out in a bowl and stir, scraping down
from sides.
The chief trouble comes in adding
the extracts and astringents, which
must be added gradually when the
fatty base Is partially cold. Add first
any perfumed water, drop by drop.
beating constantly with a silver fork;
then add tinctures or extracts last of
all. These go in drop by drop also.
A nat wire egg beater can be used
successfully when a large amount of
the mixture is being made up and one
woman swears by a mayonnaise mixer
for compromising her toilet creams.
Here is recipe that can be used
freely without fear Of becoming beard
ed or fuzzy: Eight tablespoonfuls
each of almond oil and rosewater, two
tab1esponfuls each of white wax and
spermaceti, a teaspoonful of tincture
of benzoin.
Melt the oil, then add the wax and
spermaeeti. and when nearly cold from
beating add the rosewater, drop by
drop, then the benzoin.
Discarded cheese jars of porcelain
are nice to pack this cream in 10
stiffen. Keep in a cool place. Put In
small jars so that In use 1t does not
get germ filled by constant opening.

there were some other things he
would like to thank God for, and forth

An example of what may be done
with velvet hat, having wide brim
and small crown, is shown here. Two
lengths Of velvet, In two colors, each
three-fourths of a yard long, are
shirred on silk thread at each end.
The thread matches the velvet in col

Novel Tunic Effect.

A pretty idea for the finishing Of a
tunfc, especially one of yelling or 9th
er soft material. is to slash the tunic
in front, like an overskirt, and knot
it loosely at each side, drawing it
away so as to show a great part of
the underskirt up to the knees. The
knots are made about halfway from
the ankles and the tunic falls loosely
below them. Of course, it is caught
