The best fluid to wash muslin dress

use no soap. Boil one pound of rice
IN a gallon OF water. Reserve a quart
OF the water for starching. Then
wash the dress in the remainder.
Rinse in clear or slightly blued water.

Dresses with a colored pattern on

skin may prove overdrying in effect. The
lotion might be removed With the perfuried
Juice. So: 1..S3 Ses SIS
Cueumber cold cream is made from two
ounces of ALMOND OIL. one-half ounce each
OF spermaceti and white wax aud one ounce
Of cucumber juice. The second and third
ingredients are broken. into a china cup set
into boiling water. and as they melt the oil
is stirred in. The cup Is removed from
heat and the cucumber juice slowly drip ped
in, beating all the time. Should the cream
harden before all is in, the cup must be
placed in hot water again for a moment.
One-half dram Of tincture OF benxoln, put
into the cucumber Juice first, will help to
keep the cream from becoming rancid. No
cucumber preparations keep long without
benzoin,. and 1t is better that they. should
be made frequently, in small quantities.
Any cosmetics that are the least rancid,
when used, will do far more harm than
good.
The virtue Of cucumber and lettuce lies
chiefly in the fact that they have a certain
percentage OF arsenic, which is whitening
after repeated applications. One treatment
suggested for a discolored neck is to make
long. thin slices of cucumber peel that the
green may be near the surface These are
bound on the neck, juicy side next the
throat, and are left on all night.

BY AMERE MAN.

The Boss of the Establishment was
strangely silent. Eeveral times during the
evening the expression of his countenance
had changed, with most extraordinary
ouickness, from despotic frmness to specu-
-Iation, that was not without tinge OF
alarm. His manner. to one less skilled In
the peculiar psychology of husbands than
his wife, might have seemed distinctly puz-
zIing.
But the Boss wife, being familiar with
her lords symptoms, knew that he was
merely trying to make up his mind to tell
her something of which he was sure she
would not approve and that his expression
was struggling between the assumption OF
a courage he was Tar from feeling and the
betrayal Of be- an apprehension he. was
ashamed to admit.
So she waited peacefully for the expected
communication, and finally the Boss spoke.

she possibly could-for her favorite
woman'e page had not dlscoursed in vain
on the Importance of Sharing Your Hus-
bands Business Anxieties.' Really. tell me
all about it,"
The Boss rose and drew his chair nearer.
Then. perceiving from a sudden rafting
of ropes that the dumbwaiter door was
open, he walked TO the rear OF the apart
ment and cautiously closed it. When he
came back he spoke in a sepulchral whIs-

sobered her eager face. Il suppose you've
