"Oh. I'm so glad" cried Mr.. WHITE
"For company Is such delight"
But looking round her In dismay,
IL must get ready right away"

She went to work In every room.
She oiled and polished, cleaned and rubbed
And mended. ACQUIRED. washed and scrub

Then in the kitchen she began,
While perspiration down her ram,
At pies and buildings, cakes and bread,
As II an army must be fed
She toiled and fretted, cooked and baked
She hurried, worried, stewsd and achs6
When Thursday came, shs, nearly dead
Just managed to crawl out Of bed.
And Mrs. Company came too. s..,

And then began tired Mrs White
To make excuses, never right;
"Oh, dear, my house (then waxsn olean)

"You must excuse my cooking too

And thus she welcomed and distressed
And spoiled the visit Of her guest,

Headache Remedy.

OF all sovereign remedies for various
aches and ailments hot mustard bath is
one of the most valuable. There is hard
ly any trouble in the head which will
not be eased by immersion of the ex-
tremities Headache, toothache and ear
ache all may be modified. if not cured,
while for colds neuralgia such bath
is excellent Its efficacy lies in the fact
that 1t draws blood from the head. In
order to do this there must be an even
heat sustained for sufficient time to af-
feet the head: that is. the feet must be
kept in hot water from fifteen minutes
to half an hour
There is only one way of taking such
foot bath successfully. and that is to ar
range cover for the tub SO that all
heat and steam will be kept in. To put a
small tub on the floor and thrust the
feet in it will do but little good. The
water should be at depth that will
bring it above the ankles and yet leave
room for the addition of more water as
that which is first used becomes cool
Also. as the skin becomes accustomed to
the heat water at a higher temperature
can be poured in, thus adding to the
efficacy of the treatment
To the not water iiiustdiu Hiose
be added in the proportion of one table,
spoonful to every two gallons of water.
The powder should be put into the tub.
pouring a little water over IT to make a
paste. then all the liquid should be add
ed. Beneath the foot tub on the floor
should be spread an old blanket or shawl
| that is warm and large. The tub must
be placed in the middle and one side OF
the wooden should be brought up to rest
| on the chair seat to be used by the
patient When the bather puts her feet
| in the tub the water should be as hot as
| she can endure it, and when comfortably
settled she should pull the rest OF the
! shawl or blanket over the tub and onto
her lap and tuck the sides in closely so
no cool air can touch the limbs.
| After ten minutes hotter water should
| be poured in from a jug. lifting only a
corner of the shawl. thus not permitting
| the heat which has been stored to escape.
| The object of mustard Is to aid In draw
| ing the blood to the extremities. Half
| an hour is none too long for such bath
when anv pain in the head is severe, and
as soon as immersion begins to have any
effect the pain will be alayed.
1t is not safe to go out of doors after
such a foot BATH and, almost without ex-
ception a person who requires such treat
| ment should go to bed Immediately.
A foot bath can be given in bed, when
the patient is on her back, by putting
blanket and folded sheet beneath the tub
to catch any water that may spill The
tub should be put under the covers, which
are at once drawn up to keep in heat.
Such treatment will sometimes act favor
ably upon a person who Is severely nsu-

bust and the loose peasant sleeves There
was an upper bodice of violet chiffon and
the same chiffon was used for under
sleeves.
Velvet ribbons are at the top notch OF
fashion and these ribbons always hand
some in appearance, and usually rather
expensive also. make effective hat and
dress trimmings. They are not satisfac-
tory for sashes. being too stiff and hav-
ing a tendency to curl up al the ends
when allowed to hang loose. Pleated vel
vet ribbons are always especially rich
and effective.
Little bows OF velvet ribbon are used
at the top of the frilly lace jabots worn
with foulard frocks this season. the dark
touch just beneath the chin giving char
acter and adding becomingness to the
whole costume. Felve. ribbons are also
worn in the hair. in broad, fiat fillet
fashion. and sometimes tiny flowers are
sewed along the velvet illet for evening
hair decoration.

FadS and Fashions.

A novelty in the octagon mesh yelling
Is that which has the mash graduating
In size, so that at one edge it is very
large and the other decidedly small.
This summer We are to use the little
Chant0ly lace marquise parasols, the
doll-like affairs with which our pretty
ancestresses used to screen their faces.
There are some beautiful parasols with
eyelet embroidery to match suits of linen.
and others are trimmed with embroidery
set in,'' matching the lingerie gown pre-
pared
carriages are made of white linen or
mails stenciled or cut from cloth and
appliqued into place.
Cloth of silver ribbon embroidered in
silk and metallic threads and edged with
green crystals rejecting the tones Of the
peacock's eyes forms filet for a green
costume.
Gallons. with dounces and allovers to
match. work up into exquisite gowns
over either black, white or colored satin
or taffeta slips. or over double slip of
chiffon and mousSeline or mesSaline.
The dainty combination petticoats, cor
set covers, night gowns, dressing jackets
and long negligeS owe considerable of
their attractiveness to the profuse use of
ribbons from one-quarter to five inches
in width.
Waist lines have descended to normal
positions with here and there some slight
disposition to remain a trif1e above. with
the skirt falling straight in empire style,
but this fashion is rapidly passing.
Charming hats are covered plainly with
real lace and trimmed with snowy al
grettes on panache, or falling feathers.
The edges Of such a hat are finished with
black velvet, and there is a band OF ii
round the crown.
Some of the materials worn in mourn
ing are silk-and-wool or all-wool crepe
CLOTH imperial serge. wolfe. tamise. soleil
cheviot and diagonal serge. Silk-warp
materials are lighter and shake the dust
beautifully.
Flowers in many shades of color are
frequently used to encircle the crown, or
sometimes to form it. Or again a POM
to the Hghtest tones forms the only trim
ming of some of the hats.
The long, full jabot and rabat give
beautiful touch to the outdoor costume.
Since the coats have deep lapels the
rahats may be unusually long They
should be made with light materials, such
