Recipe for Softenlns and Whitening
the Hands-cure and Prevention
Of Headache.

A recipe used by Frenchwoman
for softening and whitening her hands
is made by boiling two or three foury
potatoes In their skin, peeling them,
MASKING them and making them into a
paste with equal parts of rosewater
and milk. Apply this preparation at
bedtime while the hands are moist
after they have been washed
Many women suffer from headache
after a day of busy shopping. To
bathe the forehead with a sponge
wrung out of water as hot as can be
borne will in many cases bring relief
Repeat this as often as the sponge
cools. When the head feels tired It Is
refreshing to dash some cold water on
the forehead. then to wipe 1t off and
lie down for time. Closing the eyes
for a few moments at odd times dur.
ing the day has wonderfully bene.
fetal effect and will ward off many a
headache.

Cretonne Shades.
headache

The newest and prettiest thing In
home decorations is the lamp shade of
shirred cretonne or flowered silk. For
these heavy wire frames are pur.
chased. the round shape being the
best. The cretonne or silk is then
shirred tightly under this frame, and
clamped or glued to 1t. A narrow
border of furniture gimp conceals the
joining place.
In tapestry this variety of lamp
shade becomes really gorgeous. The
idea, of course. can be applied in any
of these materials to candle shades
as we'll.

GOT HIS soBRIQUET EARLY
Honest John" Kelly Proved His Right
to tho Title Long Before
Manhood.

There have been many stories about
the manner in which Honest John"
Kelly, the ex-umpire, first got his nick
name. Mr.. Kelly himself, according
to a New York letter, holds that 1t
came to him naturally, for even as a
small boy the purity of his soul shone
through his face. II think the first
time | was ever called Honest John
was when | was quite youngster,"
said Kelly. "A man engaged as an
ambulatory salesman of tinware OBJ
served the ingenious countenance l
presented to the world and hailed me.
You look honest, boy" said he. What
might your name be?' john said l.
quite simply. John'-just like that.
Then hold my horse while l go in
the saloon and get drink. said he.
And so held his horse while he went
in the saloon and got drink. But
this was on lower Ninth avenue, in q
day when the avenues honors went
to the man who could clean the most
cops in given time. By and by the
gang came along and beheld that
wagon full of tinware. The peddler
was detained within by a sore thirst.
and they took the tinware. And then
they came back and took the cush-
ions of the wagon. Eventually, be-
coming daring, they unhitched the
wagon and took 1t away. True to my
trust, stood there. holding the horse.
And by and by the peddler came out
of the saloon and sized up the situa-
ton. WE'LL said he warmly. you're
Honest John. all right You saved the
horse.'"
