HELPFUL HINTS.

clever little idea for refresh
ments for a children's party is this:
Get box of animal crackers and
with heavy sirup fasten the animals
upright on round salted crackers or
the long saltines may be used. Dec
crate with chocolate by putting in
eyes with melted chocolate. These
will delight the little people and there
is nothing harmful in such refresh
ments.
Never shake rugs or hang them on
lines TO be beaten. One such treat.
ment will often ruin rug. Place
them on the ground and beat OF sweep
them. They can be very satisfactorily
cleaned by spreading on porch and
carefully sweeping The best way,
OF course, is to use the vacuum clean
er on them. as then there is no wear
on them.
Celery on Chestnut Salad.-Take
equal measures OF celery and cooked
chestnuts, cut in thin slices. Add
few tablespoonfuls OF French dressing.
At serving time arrange on lettuce
and garnish with slices of latticed ap-
pies.
very pretty way of serving indi.
vidual butter for company is to make
the balls much smaller, using three
small ones on each butter plate In
stead OF one, and from parsley break
a stalk with three stems, inserting the
end in each butter ball. The effect
is very pleasing. as they look more
like flowers than butter.
When out OF cake put delicate
crackers together with white or
chocolate frosting. Chopped nuts and
raisins may be added and these little
cakes served with tea will be happily
received by any guests.
A cleaner for wall paper: Take a
cup OF site! -four. one tablespoonful
Of salt, on tablespoonful OF coal oil,
two tablespoonfuls OF vinegar, two ta-

IT IS CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think Of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be-
cause of disfguration, physical be-
cause of pain. Think of the pleasure
of a clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, SO essen
tial to happiness and even success in
life. are often only matter OF little
thoughtful care in the selection of
effective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do so much for
poor compilations, red, rough hands,
and dry. thin and falling hair, and cost
so little, that it is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a
postal to "Cuticura," Dept. 21 L, Bos-
ton, wiz secure a liberal sample Of
each, with 32-page booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.

GOT THE LETTERS MIXED
clereyman's Mistake Resulted In Civ.
Inc Decided Surprise to olgnl-
fed Archbishop.

One of the most amusing stories
which the Hon. Lionel A. Tollemache
tells In Nuts and Chestnuts," Is that
entitled, The Wrong Envelope" Mr.
M, missionary, shortly before
leaving England, received two letters
one from Archbishop TAFT asking
him to dine, and the other from the
secretary of a religious society, a very
old friend. asking him to preach. He
accepted the archbishop's invitation,
and at the same time wrote to the
secretary, but put the letters into the
wrong envelopes.
After the dinner at Lambeth the
archbishop said to him: mir. M,
do you always answer your dinner in
yitations In the same way?"
Il do not understand, your Grace"
The letter. which was then shown
to the missionary, ran thus: You old
rascal! Why did you not ask me be-
fore? You know perfectly well that /
shall be on the high seas on the date
you name."-London Tit.Bits.
