The Evening Chit Chat

TO SHOW that you ar eager to have a guest depart is uapardonable
Everybody knows that
To insstenty urge a guest to Drolong his stay when it is evident
that staying would be incOuvenent and against his VIII IS almost as great

Temporary Freckles.

There are two kinds Of freckles, the
summer visitors and the permanent
residents. The former can sometimes
be removed by the application Of any
one Of many mild lotions.
Crushed Strawberries are recon-
mended. Finely powdered cinnamon
mixed with four times it's bulk of
honey and applied night and morning
has done good. Pea broth internally
has been credited with helpfulness.
Some country maideDs swear by the
distilled water OF wild tansy locally
used. Distilled elder flower water Is an
old time preventive and remedy. Lem
on juice is found by some to suffice.
Peroxide of hydrogen has its support
ers. Our great grandmothers used to
prepare in the still room, from garden
and wayside flowers, waters credited
with giving and preserving the pink
and white delicacy Of skin they so
greatly admired.
Permanent freckles will not yield to
any such mild measures. Undoubtedly
they can be lightened by any of the
things that Danish summer freckles,
but they do not disappear.

Dry Lips.

Lips dry and constantly chapped
are apt to indicate a poor condition of
the blood, so that a person who has
this symptom would do well to consult
a physician as to her general health.
But, whether or not this is necessary,
external preparations applied locally
will relieve any irritation and some
times effect a cure. When chapping
takes the form of deep cracks, almost
like cuts, gum benZoin is the best ap-
plication that can be made. Grease for
that purpose is not desirable, as the
skin must be drawn together and dried
In order that it may heal. This is the
action of gum benZoin. A bit should

be taken that the gum Is kept anti

As a weapon of war the crossbow
lasted on In Europe all through the
middle ages. Even 50 late as the Ma
poleonic invasion Of Russia \ was in
use by the Cossacks. The crossbow
was a most formidable instrument of
destruction, comparing most favorably
with the old fashioned musket. 1t
was with the bow that the English
won their celebrated victory over the
French in the Hundred Years war.
Its timber shafts often pierced the ar
NOR of the mailed chivalry" and
made the British yeoman more than a
match for the French knight.

103 cities, and brought in more than 81
600. 900 in gross receipts. of which IL
was said yesterday her OWE sharf

The famous actress did not appear to
be the least fatigued by her arduous
travels. but looked so per cent. better
than when she landed In this city from
the French liner Provence on October
rs of last year. Perhaps the most
wonderful feature Of the trip was the
energy shown by Nine. Bernhard in
seeing the various sights of interest In
the cities she visited, which included n
descent into a copper mine, a night in
a bayou shooting at ~alligators, a ride
through the Homestead works, and
mountain climbing In the Wet.
