take piece of absorbent cotton rounded
and made into a little pad to fit the

them on the lids, changing them as they
become hot. After few minutes of

Those who have tendency to weak eyes
should daily use an eye-cup, in which
is placed some water slightly sailed, or
a boracic acid solution. The saturated
solution diluted one-half is generally
the best, and should be made fresh for

The .eyelashes and eyebrows next
come up for consideration. | have re-

care from my correspondents, and / ask
them to look for their answers here.
The eyelashes are bound to be scanty
and struggling and uneven if the lids
are infamed. This is the primary cause
of most of the poor growth of lashes.
Examine the eyelids, and if they are
red and inhamed take the measures to
relieve this inflammation. Many times
one or two hairs will grow in toward the
eyeball; these will cause great irrita-
ton and should be removed by means

to do this for ones self, and it must be
very carefully done, not to cut them
too much. Vaseline is excellent to pro-
mote the growth of the lashes and the
eyebrows. One cannot do much to pro-
mote the outward curve of the lashes,
which is the desirable way to have them
grow, but with the fingers one can shape
the eyebrows. If the hairs grow out of
the proper line or become coarse and
long, they can be removed with tweez-
ers. The hair of the eyebrows retains
the color long after the hair of the head
has turned gray. Light and gray eye
brows detract from the appearance, and
not only is it justihable to darken them,
but it is an easy process, as it can be
done with pemade pencils which come

eyebrows a lotion made of FIVE parts
OF camphor and FIVE parts of tincture of
cantharides to fifty parts of cologne

vaseline applications.

HOW TO KEEP THE HOME
CLEAN AFTER IT'S BUILI
Household Hints-Germcides and Bleaching Agents-Use
full Recipes and Information

When ready to bleach mix four ounces
of chloride of lime in each gallon OF
water, stirring with a stick. Place the
washed fabric in this mixture, stirring
it about until we'll bleached. Now, lift
ing the fabric, rinsing and freeing It
fairly well from water, place it in
solution of four ounces of hypo-sulphite'
of soda to each gallon of water. The
chlorine from the bleaching powder
that is, the portion which still remains
IN the tbers of the fabric-goes into
chemical union with the hypo- sulphite
OF soda, forming a new chemical COM
pound that is harmless to cloth. Thus
the fabric is bleached and the further
harmful effect of chlorine stopped. After
removing the fabric from the hypo-sul-
phite of soda put it through the usual
rinsings.
Both the bleaching powder mixture
and the hypo-sulphite solution must be
made freshly for each wash-day's use.
This suggestion being followed, there
will be no difficulty encountered in thor
oughly whitening the wash, or such
special pieces as are considered worth
the extra effort. The hands should be
kept out of the bleaching powder mix
ture as much as possible. The hypo-
sulphite solution is practically harmless
to the hands,
Sometimes, as a matter of economy,
the bleached cloth, when taken out of
the bleaching powder mixture, is rinsed,
and then the hypo-sulphite solution is
spread over it and rubbed in. This
method, however, is not as sure of HARM
less results as is the soaking of the fabric
in vessel containing enough of the
hypo-sulphite solution.
Chloride of lime bleaching is employed
only with linen and cottons Animal
fbers, like wool, are yellowed, not
bleached, by this process.
Javelle Water
Not as good results in bleaching are
obtained with javelle water. The COM
mon method of making this is to boil
four pounds of washing soda for ten
minutes in gallon of water, then add
ing pound of chloride of lime and
straining off the clear liquid when cool
An improved javelle water is made by
substituting potassium bicarbonate for
the washing soda, In either form of the
javelle water the intention is to do away
with the rotting effect of the chlorine SET
free from chloride of lime. The hypo.
sulphite solution, however, is the mos
reliable anti-chlor that is known foF
household use.

SEA FOAM CANDY

Put three cupfuls of light-brown sug-
ar, cupful of water and tablespoonful
of vinegar into saucepan. Heat grad
ually to boiling, stirring only until the
sugar is dissolved; then boil without
stirring until it forms hard ball when
tested in cold water. Remove at once
from the fire, and when the syrup stops
bubbling pour gradually into the stiffiy-
beaten whites of two eggs, beating con-
stantly. Continue the beating until the
mixture will hold its shape, then add a
teaspoonful of vanilla and cupful of
English walnut, hickory-nut or pecan
nut meats cut into pieces. Drop in small
rough-shaped piles on parafin or but
tered paper. This dainty sweetmeat IS
destined to become very popular.
Turkish Nougat
One pound almonds, one of seeded
raisins, half of figs, fourth of candied
cherries, a fourth of candied pineapple,
a fourth of hickory nuts, fourth of
English walnuts, two of extra c sugar,
half a cupful of water and a cupful of
heavy cream Blanch the almonds and
toast almonds, hickory nuts and walnuts
in the oven until delicate brown; cut
figs into strips, cherries into halves and
pineapple into dice. Dissolve sugar in
the water, add cream and boil without
stirring, after boiling commences, until
soft ball is formed when tested in cold
water Remove from the fire, let stand
until lukewarm, then beat to a cream.
Melt the cream by standing it in boiling
water, stirring constantly When melted,
add the fruit and nuts and flavor with
vanilla.

"NHIS house is covered entirely
with shingles on the exterior,
excepting for the small dormer
window in the roof over the
porch. 1t will be well to have this dor
mer entirely of smooth pine. The shin
giles should be butted at the corners of
building, without using corner boards.
You can imagine the effect if the
shingles are stained gray, and the
dormer, trimmings and sash are all
painted cream white. With dull-red
brick chimneys and gray-green curtains
at the windows, the appearance will be
remarkably pleasing.

angular plan with hall in the center
and rooms on both sides, type that has
been handed down from the days of our
Colonial ancestors and has always
proven a judicious one. The veranda,
however, is not like the ordinary porch
on a Colonial house, as it is placed at
one side and is entered only from the
1iving-room, through glass doors. This
makes of the veranda private outdoor
living-room, which may be screened in
the summer and glazed in the winter
OF course, one could build steps from
the main entrance steps up to the veran-
da floor IL one desired to do so. BY this
arrangen ent, though, the privacy of the
porch would be disturbed.
Three cement steps lead to a broad
cement terrace at the front entrance.
The entrance is recessed under a little
archway. The vestibule is entered
through a glass door with side lights.
From the vestibule three steps lead up
to the main floor level. With the living
room opening on one side and the din
ing-room on the opposite, very pretty
view is obtained from the hall. 1t is
preferable to case these openings up like
ordinary wide doorways. although, if
preferred, sliding-doors can be inserted.
The mantel in the living-room is
large and is composed entirely of brick,
with the exception of the wood shelf
You will note that there is communica-
ton from the kitchen to the front door
by means of doorway beside the stairs
in the hall. This is great improve

it. After it has performed its legitimate
work of bleaching, chlorine carries its
action further, to the destruction of the
fabric. The industrial bleacher knows
this, and he is aware also of the remedy.
His method is to dip the cloth in the
mixture of water and bleaching powder,
stirring the fabric about until bleaching
is accomplished, and then, after rinsing
the cloth out, to transfer it to another

TT seems to be common impression
n that most chemicals, or at least
8 nearly all effective ones, are acids
1t is an even more common belief
that acids are ruthlessly used in the
laundries that turn, out the "whitest"
results. As matter of fact, the whiten-
ing of washed fabrics is accomplished,
not by means of acids. but of bleaching
agents.
The most ancient of all bleaching
methods lay in spreading the washed
clothes over grass, which is done even
to-day. The people of olden times did
not know achy bleaching resulted; the
modern housekeeper who has taken a
course in so-called domestic science"
probably does. In the early morning
hours, when the dew is still upon the
grass, there is some ozone in the air,
more especially near the grass, and
ozone, which is a condensed form of the
ordinary oxygen of the atmosphere, is a
capable bleaching agent.
