PrsvaiIina Hard Luck.

The dear old gent was evidently a gatherer of statistics and with beam ing smile was gazing down the street. Suddenly he stepped up to gentle man who was waiting for train and, tapping him lightly on the shoulder, said, Excuse me, but did you drop a five pound note?" at the same time holding out in his hand the article mentioned
 The gentleman questioned gazed a moment at the note, assumed an anx- ious look, made hasty search of his pockets and said, why, So did, and hadn't missed it." holding out, an ca ger hand. The elderly hunter of sta tistics slowly drew forth his notebook and said, T thought SO" He then took the name and address of the loser and. putting the note in his pocket, turned away.

FIVE GIRLS WHO. SPENT THEIR
 VACATION IN BLOOMERS.

a f Z gr
 In the August Woman's Home Com .panion appears a page of interesting letters which won prizes in a. contest in which the contestants reported on how they spent heirsvacations. Fol lowing is one of the letters:
 You girls know how you enjoy the hour in the gymnasium when you don your bloomers and rdiddies. Well, why not enjoy the freedom for two weeks, or month, while in, the coun- try for your vacation? We did it. Yes the digniheds secretary, the quiet, book keeper, the pffm Schoolnla am; the de- mure engaged girl, and the studiDus elocutionisti@ 'sl ss : sf5 < We had a cottage in a shady nook at a. quiet lake. The moment we ar rived We put on our nliddies, bloomers, and gym shoes and you have no idea our spirits. It seemed to put us all in jolly good hurnor W@ enjoyed swimming to the fullest extent, and had endurance contests, and rivaled one another in doing stunts on the achutes and ladder. And oh, the joy Of playing tennis unhampered by 7skirts! We laid out a court with stones, and stretched a line on stakes for net. At evening we would each take a boat and row to the farther end of the lake to watch the sunset, returning home in the twilight, sing ing, or reciting poetry
 When we did return to the city, we felt fully equal to another year of in- door work"

THE SUMMER COMPLEXION

In one way the summer is a boon to the beauty seeker. There is noth- ing so beneficial to the skin as pro- fuse perspiration, as it. cleanses the Turkish bath can accomplish.
 To help this process, drink plenty of scool, fresh water Don't drink ice wafer; it creates rather than quencl1es thirst, retards.. the digestion of food, and may cause serious intestinal trou bleg.
 On the other hand, the end of the summer will find many women in de- spair over their complexion troubles. For one thing, it is sometimes diff cult to get hot water for washing purposes in the summer. You can not keep the skin clean by washing exclusively in cold water; indeed, if the face is really grimy, the cold wa ter will ''set' the dirt. Insist on the daily warm bath for your complexion during the hot weather if you have to heat the water over an oil stove. as
 A. good deal of trouble caused by tan and sunburn is due to carelessness. Don't go out in the hot sun without hat. A bad case of sunburn is a serious matter, from which the com plexion may be long in recovering.
 sIe your skin becomes seriously tam ned or burned, don't neglect it until you go home from your vacation or until the weather fs cooler. It may then be too late to repair the dam age. ~
 Never wash the face in cold water immediately after exposure Zuse water as hot as you can hear it. Fresh butermilk is an, excellent remedy for the sunburned. skin. Wash the face in it as if with water. and allow it to dry in.
 It is better not -to use soap on the skin if it is irritated and inflanned. Apply cloths wrung out of hot water to the face until the impurities are removed Then dry the face care fully and rub in (wli1e the skin is still warm) liberal supply of cold cream. Pat it in if the face is very sensitive.
 Remove the surplus cold cream with a soft cloth, and apply cloths dipped in; cold water to the face. Do this several times. The water for the last application should contain few drops of benzoin. or an astringent should be dabbed into the skin before the pow der is applied.
 A half hours attention to the com plexion every night during the hot weather will prevent roughening and coarsening of the skin that is often the result of the vacation season. Mime. Jeanne La, Place in Woman's World for August.

Went a Lona Way Back.

What is a foreigner? It depends on the country. Tn the United States it is a newcomer who has not yet had time to catch his breath, unpack his kit and find job. In India the case is differ erit. An official at Malabar, south h. dfa, recently received letter from a man whose status he was investigat- ing and who said: T am a native of India by birth. but have claim to for eign origin and foreign blood. A col ony of Syrians from Edessa settled in Malabar in A. D. 345. I belong to that sect, and as such have reason to claim foreign origin and foreign blood"

rh. HeIvetian Ladies.

The most celebrated warlike women among the ancients. apart rom the fabIed amazons. were the Helvet1an ladies. Caesar praises highly their military achievements. In more than one instance the legions of Rome turn ed their. backs on the fair ones of Switzerlane. During the crusades wo- men often performed the most roman lie and chivalrous deeds, dying cheer fully by the sides of their lovers and husbands.

FOR CLEANING NECKWEAR.

Erer
 These dainty accessories to j our wardrobe become soiled very quickly, and we often regret having to use water upon them, for they never re- gain stheir first freshness.
 To send them to the dry cleaner S each time is an expensive luxury. They may be cleaned in this manner at home: #
 When a number of pieces have ac- cumulated, place them in quart jar, and fill it threesquart ters full ,of gaso-
 After closing it air-tig1lt, shake wig orously, and allow it to stand for sev- seral hours. Shake from time to time.
 Remove the articles, and rub the soiled spots with pure white soap, us- ing an old tooth-bfush. Repeat this process until the neckwear is. thor oughly clean.
 Hang out of doors, that the. air may dry them quickly. When the gaso- line has evaporated, bring in, and hang in a warm place.
 Heat helps wonderfully in dfspelling the odor of gasoline
 Place in a closely covered box con- tairing sachet- bags. By the time the neckwear is needed it will have lost the disagreeable odor.-Indianapoli News.

WHAT TO DO AND HOW
Making HOme-Iike Guest Room x. Don't Have it F'ussy-Comfort ny of First Tlnnortance.

: was speaking the other day to a negotiable matron whose growing fam fly prevents her having a regular guest room. The thought came to me, when she bemeaned the fact that she could not offer dainty sleeping room to- her visiting friends, that perhaps after all the big, airy, "homey" room, used as a rule by her young man son. was preferable to the terribly dainty room which. in compliment to the yis- itor some ,hostesses prepare. / sse remember one such in which Il really, hardly dared to move for fear of spelling something.

 The cheerful room with clean, pret- ty. cheap wall paper and a clean, white, easily made bed is infinitely
 preferable to the overdone chamber with lace and ribbon-run tshams.' 7 The latter never look as though the bed were intended for repose, and they worry the guest by thought of
 their care far more than they charm
 by their elegance.
 If you can't have a room regularly set aside for visitors, you can make the one you give up indicate the warmth of your hospitality by clean ing out good space in the closet for { the guests clothes. and likewise de- pleting at least one whole drawer in the bureau. The towels and combs, brushes, etc, should be always held in reserve
 @ Though you may not be able to give tip an entire room, this keeping of a few things sacred to the appreciative guest, who understands the spirit. as the more elaborate preparation and offering of an entire room, where space is not at such a; premium.
