Dave You a Kind Voice ?

THERE Is no power of love so hard to
keep as kind voice. but 1t is hard
to get it and keep it in the right tone
One must start in youth and be on
the watch night and day. while at work
and while at play. to get and keep a
voice which shall speak at all times
the thought of a kind heart
But this is the time when a sharp
voice is more apt to be acquired. You
often hear boys and girls say words at
play with quick sharp Tone almost
like the snap of a whip. If any of them
gets vexed you hear a voice which
sounds as If it were made up of a snarl,
a whine and a bark.
Such a voice often speaks worse than
the heart feels. 1t shows more I'll will
in tone than in words. 1t is often in
mirth that one gets a voice or a tone
which is sharp and which sticks to him
through life and stirs up i'll will and
grief and falls like drop of gall on the
listener.
Some people have a sharp home voice
and keep their best voice for those they
meet elsewhere. Use your best voice
at home.
A kind voice is lark's song to heart
and home 1t is to the heart what light
is to the eye.

your arms around and around until
they begin to feel tired.
Roughness and redness OF the arms
can be avoided by giving them an olive
oil bath daily, by always using a good
soap in washing them and a soft towel
for drying. They should also be care
fully busted over after washing them
with oatmeal powder.
The elbows themselves want very
careful attention. If you have got into
the habit. as a number of women have
nowadays. of leaning on them. then
give it UP at once or you can never
hope to have pretty. dimpled elbows.
i AS a cure for ugly elbows try rub
bing them every night (after bathing
them in warm water) with a good skin
! food. rubbing in as much as the skin
will absorb. Every night and morning
do this and at the end of the week you
win notice a wonderful Improvement
that is, IL in the meantime you don't
undo all the good by leaning on them.

The very small hat of the early spring

center front from throat to hem or else
diagonally from left shoulder to an
even distance below the waist on the

have been already seen. The only diff

broken by a part of the skirt going up

the top and the other from underneath.
Also 1t may be quite unbroken in any

Dow to Remove Stains

T IF-E is made up of trivialities, some
pleasant and some quite the re-
verse, and ii is to the latter order of
things that stains belong.
Removing Iron Mold. - To remove
iron mold the safest plan is to squeeze
the juice of half lemon on to the
stain and lay the linen in some place
where 1t is subjected to the action of
air and sun. If. when the juice has
dried. there still remains discoloration,
repeat the process If necessary several
times.
Another Method.-Salts of lemon are
also excellent, but on account of their
poisonous nature must DO used only by
some responsible person. Dip the stain
into boiling water. rub it well with a
piece of rag dipped in the salts. then
hold 1t over a basin tightly stretched
while some one pours boiling water
over the spot. Rinse very thoroughly.
as IL any of the acid remains in the
material 1t viii soon cause destruction.
| Tea. Coffee and Ink Stains-Ink
stains IL treated at once will yield to
hot milk. Another plan is to rub the
stain with half a tomato and rinse in
cold water. Cloths stained with tea or
coffee should be held under the hot
water tap but If the stains have been
stepped in warm water in which borax
has been dissolved.
| Wine and Fruit.-Wine and fruit
stains must be taken out before the
material is washed. Powdered starch
applied thickly and left on for half an
| hour will generally obliterate the
marks, or a mixture of salt and lemon
juice is another good remedy. Neg
Ilected stains must be thus treated:
Rub the part each side with yellow
soap. then cover with a paste of starch
and cold water. Rub In we'll and ex-
pose to sun and air.
/ Mildew. - Miidew stains are often
very persistent. but they will dispense
when covered with a mixture made of
soft soap and powdered starch in equal
parts and half as much salt moistened
with lemon juice Lay on both sides
with an artists brush
| Scorch Marks.-Here are two good
remedies for removing scorch marks:
lFirst-Boil one ounce of fuller's earth
In quarter of a pint of vinegar. add
eight grains of shredded CASTLE soap
land. spread over the scorched places
lSecond--Boil half pint of vinegar
with two ounces of soda. two ounces OF
lfuller's earth and a finely chopped
tonion. Strain. and when cold apply a
thick layer of it on the scorched sur
face.
