how she'd like to make ii easier for this

MiIady's Mirror.

Having been asked what will keep tho
skin soft and fair, the following recipes
are suggested:
Lul<ewarm milk comes first on the list.
This wash dates back as far as Nero's
wife, Poppeia, who always washed with
ass milk, and for this kept 500 asses al
ways at her disposal She also made a
paste of bread and milk, which she rub
bed on her face at night and even during
the day when she did not go out
Milk has always been a favorite wash
with great coquettes. The bellies Of the
French directoire added crushed straw
berries to the milk to give additional
beauty and perfume to the skin.
Milk Is an emollent wash for rough
skins In a rough climate where greasy
substances are preferable to astringents.
while the latter are more beneficial In
hot climates. and for oily, perspir1ng
skins.
An excellent substitute for plain milk
is virginia. milk, which is made by pour
ing an ounce Of tincture of benzoin in a
bottle and then over this very slowly,
almost drop by drop quart OF rose
water.
Cucumber juice, or the water in which
q cucumber is boiled, Is also an excellent
face wash, and the water in which water
crosses have been boiled, and also cow
slips, is good. In fact, there are SO
plexion by simple means that 1t Is most
difficult to make a choice.
AS a general rule, however, mtlks
should be used In cold, rough weather
and vinegar, wine or spirit in warm
weather.

earable qualities.

cause Of their wearable qualities
Most OF the silk nets are unstable and
unsatisfactory to work with, but the
holder pattern cottons are just as adapt
able and much more successful in the
end.
The sketch shows an effective combina-
ton of black and white with q touch
Of cerise to enliven II. While satin makes
up the foundation, which is slashed up
the front as far as the knees. the corners
are rounded as Is done so frequently
with evening dresses this spring, which
is graceful enough when the idea is car
ried out with discretion.
Hung from the round belt. the tunic

net fiounce that covers the lower part
Of the foundation and that has either
side edged with six-inch lace. The
net opens down the center front over
q panel Of while filet, coming together
in front with a chou Of black velvet
that at the same time serves as q
heading for the slashfng Of the skirt
A long panel train Of white satin COM
pletes the back. The corsage has the
lace arranged as a surplice with a little
tucker Of plain white mousseline inset.
Below 1t is a pointed bit OF filet, the
edges Of which continue the line of the
surplice.
Nets are admirable for summer even
ing gowns, being rather more formal
than lingerie. and yet less go-as-Well
as an agreeable change from the satins
and chiffons that are In requlsition all
the rest of the year.
Among the new nets are some pin
dotted ones that make up charmtngly
with batiste, or are much seen yelling
entirely a foundation of satin. In the
latter case there is apt to be an ap-
plique foot-trimming of heavy lace. for
the interest in combining heavy lace
with ethereal looking net has not slack
ened.
Something of an innovation Is obtained
by having an underdress, or foundation,
entirely Of lace, preferably in a rather
solid design, yelling 1t with one OF the
extremely fine nets or else employing the
net as a tunic with a trimming OF a wide
satin banding
The satin then should be repeated IN
the corsage somewhere to produce the
balanced effect that. in spite Of the ap-
parent recklessness with which materials
are mingled, usually prevails.

SARTORIAL HINTS.
By Elizabeth Lee.

when a woman approaches middle age
she realizes. If she Is sensible, that the
veil, like the rest of her toilet, must be
chosen with care. Just now it is the fash
ion to wear the freakiest kind Of wells,
though no self-respecting woman of the
elderly type will consent to wear them,
but will select instead something more be-
coming to her age.
While there can be no hard and fast
rule laid down in regard to the choice Of
veil on account of the variety of types.
few general rules may be helpful
For women who are just leaving their
youth behind those in the transition stage
as 1t may be termed-there Is nothing
more charitable than the Russian net in
medium size, fairly heavy mesh. Brown
Is as rule. preferable to black. always
provided this tone harmonizes with the
color of the hat worn, and white is often
quite becoming when the complexion is
good.
Women in middle life who are small
featured should wear either a very fine
mesh without dots a medium mesh
with the very smallest dots possible In
these meshes all black or black with
white threads are a good choice 1 do
not care for gray wells over faces no
longer youthful. though I know many
people think gray-haired women should
match the veil to the hair. Personally, I
like the gray that comes from the combi-
nation of black and white tints. This is
always more becoming over the face than
gray and the touch Of black gives a little
character.
race showing the slightest trace Of
salioWness becomes almost hdeOus under
a gray veil. and even a fresh pink and
white complexion is not improved by it,
to my thinking
| like the ilverygray-haired woman
who possesses pink cheeks in gray hat
and pretty white veil of fine white Brus-
sells net with a tiny dot or a lace veil. de-
pending upon the size Of the hat she is
wearing. The black and white effects will
also be becoming, but an all black veil
will not suit her as well, SO unless the tot
veil should be discarded
Very large dots especially II they are
chenille. should be generally avoided by
elderly women Of every type.
They are apt to suggest coarseness, es-
pecially when the features are large. The
also religiously put this kind of veil aside.
1t will make her look common
The lace veil is always pretty draped
upon the brim OF a hat, but only a tall
woman should wear it flowing over the
face.
1t will be extremely unbecoming to the
short, dumpy woman.
AS have said before. it is the worst
kind Of economy to buy cheap veil. A
good one will outwear four poor ones
One Of the very best ways Of prolonging
the life Of veil Is to run thread Of
sewing silk along both selvages, neither
frilling nor stretching, but having the
veil lie perfectly fiat. 1t must be done
before the veil is worn at all, and then
the shape will be preserved unless the
thread breaks. of course, but this can
easily be renewed at once.

EVERY ONE GET BUSY

The county Of Villas, at its
board meeting Wednesday, rails
ed the bounty on wolves to $50.
wild cats and lynx will now be
SIS. AS the state pays an equal
amount on all scalps certified to
by county clerks, this will be
the means of causing most fur
hunters to go after the money,
especially as these amin ais have
within the last year become so
numerous that they are a serious
menace to hunters and stockmen
especially sheep growers. 1t is
said that many deer That were
hung up in the woods and camps
awaiting transportation, during
the hunting season just closed,
were so nutilated that they were
worthless to the owners, AS a
good wolf pelt sells readily for
s25. to $40, it will be seen that
the man who now succeeds in
getting one has his winters fuel
bill pretty well under control.
