BUTTON HOOK BALL

An old croquet ball which has serv-
ed it's usefulness in the game
might still be of value to the
handy little girl who likes to make
pretty articles for her room. After
scrubbing and drying the ball gi1d it
with gold paint. Then screw into it
small brass hooks so that they will be
in a line right around the large part
of the ball. At the top fasten bow of
ribbon which has many loops that cover
the top of the ball. One loop should
be made longer than the rest so that
this button hook or key rack might be
suspended. In order to have this rack
match the color used in the room Sc
lect ribbon for it the same shade as
that used on other fancy articles hang
ing near.

Health and Beauty Hints.

Health and Beauty Hints.
Borax and ammonia tighten the
color or brown hair.
The best cleansing agent for greasy
hair is a solution of one tablespoon
full of tincture of quillaia in one quart
of hot water.
That the eye must have plenty of
rest goes without saying. Nowhere
does lack of sleep make itself felt
more quickly or unpleasantly than In
the eyes.
The habit of taking medicines of
any sort for headache is vicious and In
the end harmful, says a writer. While
medicines sometimes give temporary
relief, they do not remove the causes.
For delicate child give nightly a
warm bath, followed by gentle, thor
ough rubbing with warm olive oil all
over the body and limbs. This simple,
safe, home treatment works wonders
If given fair trial.
Good health is partly dependent
upon freedom Of the body, and to at
tain this the abdominal muscles upon
whose motion depends the activity of
the digestive functions should be al.
lowed room for unhampered move
ment.
Do not, even In a case of emer-
gency, risk making child's bed up
on the floor; the impure air that is
near the floor is most pernicious, and
there Is also almost certainty of
drafts, which will result in a stiff
neck or toothache.

Ragged Shoe Linings.

The buyer of one of the largest
stocking departments in this city says
that the stocking trade is increased
to large extent by the carelessness
with which men and women wear
shoes with ragged Innings. Even a
small hole in the lining of a shoe is
sure to repeat itself in the same place
in the stocking, and when there is a
large opening 1t is sure to ruin the
stocking. Shoe departments mend
shoe lining for their customers at
small expense.

Hnnd-Run TucISs.

Il have discovered an easy way of
making hand-run tucks in lingerie"
said seamstress. Grease the first
tuck as usual for machine tucking and
adjust the tucks, but do not thread
the machine. Then run through the
tucker. The needle will leave a dis
tinct line, along which to run your
hand sewing. The marker also leaves
line for the next tuck. 1t is best
to sew each tuck as 1t comes from the
tucker, as handling obliterates the
marks"

why Plain Men Attract.

A fact that no one can deny is that
for some women a really plain man
seems to have definite power of at
traction. Can it be that, if beautiful
themselves, they find charm in their
opposite; or is it that they brook no
rival near the throne, and see in
handsome man more or less of COM
petitor? asks Mrs. Fitzroy Stewart in
The Srtand. A good looking husband or
brother attracts notice, and her royal
highness, woman, may refuse to be
In the background. At any rate, there
can be no doubt that an ugly man
seems often to WELD an influence that
is quite uncanny.
The trend of the times may have
something to say on the subject. A
modern woman, with her brains and
her freedom and her strenuous ideals,
has no use for what is weak, insipid,
and decadent. She has no place in her
heart for the scented exquisite, who
waves his hair, twists his mustache,
manicures his hands, and admires his
face in the looking glass. In fact,
pink and white prettiness is now at
discount, and most of US would soon
er see our men brown and battered
and serenely conscious of their own
lack of attractions. Rough-hewn, fea-
lures, we say show strength, and a
plain form may be the shell of
great soul, keen brain, and souring
ambitions. Certain it is that the
Adonis type has gone out of fashion.
The woman of to-day scorns the
beauty man." avoids him as friend,
and disregards him as husband.

needle is not limited to the aged.
Here is hint which will make the
task easier.
In threading a needle hold the
needle firmly between thumb and first
finger. The thread is held in the left
hand with a short end extending
from between tips of first finger and
thumb. The knack lies in pressing
the two thumb joints hard together,
keeping thread taut, when it will be
found to go easily into the eye.

Very smart and jaunty is the little

is a continuation of the long revers,

fasten the front of the vest and above

Lines of black silk braid and black
belt passing through gilt rings add to
che military air of the little suit.
