fussing around and looked out. He
had baited an old fashioned mouse
trap with cheese and was leaning out
to set 1t on the floor under his berth.
Along in the night thought I heard
the trap click. The next morning l

with proper glasses.

When she discarded the glasses
some time later and her eyes were

SIMPLE LOTIONS FOR HANDS
GlycerIne Varieties Are Particularly
Good and Keep tho Hands
Soft and White.

Pure soap Is one Of the secrets OF
well-kept hands. Drying the hands
thoroughly after washing them is an
other important point to be observed.
and If either of these are neglected
no amount of lotions will bring about
the desired result.
Different textured skins demand diff
ferent soaps. The glycerine varieties
are particularly good. The best way
to determine the value OF a soap is to
give 1t trial and If the skin is soft
and smooth after the bath SO that
the whole hand feels pliable and re-
freshed 1t is safe to continue its use.
Be careful to push the cuticle back
from the nails after every hand bath,
be 1t dozens Of times day. If warm
water is used have a bottle filled with
a lotion composed OF benzoin, glycer-
ine and rosewater; tip the bottle in
the palm of the hand and rub the
lotion into the skin before the hands
are thoroughly dry. This is a splen-
did suggestion for the housewife
whose hands are subjected to different
solutions in the course Of her work.
She should have bottle always handy
and use 1t generously AS a result
her hands will be white and plump
and will not bear the telltale marks
