Mi|ady's Mirror.

The commonest form of the bath Is a
beautifier is the bran bath. This partlcu-
lar bath has the advantage OF being IN
expensive and efficient at the same time
The bran should be sewn into a neat
little square sack Of cheesecloth cover
ing, and dropped into the bath when
the water is run in. The water must not
be too hot, or the bran Will be cooked
and thus rendered useless, but II warm
water is poured on it creamy mass Is
formed, which will render the skin de-
lightfully soft. For those who wish to
be a little more elaborate there are sold
at all chemists and stores little sacks or
bran mixed with various perfumed herbs,
according to taste, such as violets, orris
root or sunf1ower seed.
The milk bath is not unusual, and 1t is
claimed that it has no rival in beautlfy-
ing the skin. One we'll known beauty IN
Paris is understood to use milk for her
bath always, and the skin of her throat
and shoulders is as creamy white as
the LIQUID she is supposed to battle them
with. OF course, one would not actually
get right into milk bath as one does
with water. The milk is applied on Wads
of antiseptic cotton and the skin is dried
with more of the cotton Then. to pre-
vent any sickness it is rubbed gently
with eau de cologne.
French women are also very partial to
the use of alcohol in the bath. 1T Is per-
fumed in some way with such scents as
lavender or violet, and those who indulge
in these baths or the bran ones use soap
only once or twice week.
Sea bathing is probably the most brac-
ing and the best form for the robust,
but in a climate such as ours it cannot
be recommended except in the hot
months, unless the bather is very strong.
Those who are unfortunate enough to
possess very irritable skins will do well
to eschew sea baths altogether
For ordinary bathing purposes most
people use ammonia or boraX, which not
only softens the water, but is invaluable
for cleansing the skin. 1t is necessary.
however, to exercise caution in the use
of these two articles, for an overdose
in the bath, instead of making the skin
soft and supple, will harden it and make
it much too dry. The best plan is to
get the chemist to make UP a proper mix
ture and put it into a marked bottle, so
that the correct quantity for certain
amount of water only is used.

Cravats and Stocks.

One rejoices to see that again we are to
wear cravats and stocks of folded black
silk and satin. with small turned-down
stock collars of white lawn showing mar
rowly at the top. Severe as 1t Is. this is
the most becoming form OF neckwear pos
sible, and if the lawn turnover is not
starched tbut the laundress will stiffen 1t
if she gets the chance) the severity is by
no means too great. The finishing touches
of the cravat. too. help to remove the
touch of sternness. Neat and small the
bow may be-but with what pointed ends.
and with how much dash in its crisp
linesi A very smart notion Is to have the
bow at the base of the throat made OF
narrow ribbon. three-quarters OF an inch
wide. This enables the bow to have the
requisite spring In its lines. and also to
be small. where ribbon of the same width
as that around the neck is altogether too
flowing For the little lawn turnovers,
plain hemstitching is the ideal adorn-
ment. though narrow edging of crochet
is permissible. or little white embroid-
cry Small pin-in bows i'm spotted fou-
lards or soft satin are also much worn
just now.

BY CORA MOORE.

Corduroy is a popular material since
the manufacturers have made it pliable
and capable Of being draped. The model
sketched is of one of the soft brown
shades of corduroy, in which the tones
change with every play of light. There Is
a plain skirt of instep length, pouched
tunic which is longer in back than in
front and a blouse which has one front
crossing over the other, fastening blind
ly, taking in a frill of white null on its
way and that is wrinkled under the arm
in the most approved manner. At the
throat the front edges turn down, form
ing tiny revers which the band of fur
about the neck meets. A narrow red fox
banding encircles the tunic, holding IN
it's fu1Iness seven inches from where it
is attached to the skirt, giving to 1t the
semblance of a ruffle. Bands of fur also
are used to finish the sleeves.
These pouched tunicS. although they
have been in vogue long enough to have
been cast aside according to fashion
usual custom, are still very much in evil
dence They are varied in many ways by
means of different trimmings and differ
ent means of applying the same ones
and they are always graceful.
Another version of the model mas the
skirt of striped gray and black velvet
with the top of black cheviot, and in
place Of the red fox a black fox fur III
desired a banding of broadcloth could be
substituted for the fur. There is nothing
with which so much can be done thls
year as with the heavy cloths. broad
cloth and the more fanciful weaves like
camers hair, ratine and others, partlcu-
larly of the rough-surface variety Zlpe-
line is frequently used to replace velvet
and oftentines is just as effective.
If it were not that it is much WIDER
than velvet it would scarcely be any less
expensive, for zbelines are priced all the
way from $50 UP to SO and $1o yard.
For the skirt and trimmings OF this
model, providing the upper portion under
the tunic is sham. not more than
yard and quarter is required. for, since
it is fifty inches wide, one width OF three
quarters of a yard answers the purpose.
while the remaining quantity Will be
found ample for the landings.
If fur were introduced in place or the
banding, only the lower skirt length
would be required A fiat braid set under
the edges of landings is one Of the ways
of finishing them. in those that are OF the
broadcloth instead of machine stitching,
the braid being stitched to the canvas

New Wrap Coats.

A most admirable fur lining to a COM
Portable winter wrap is the light-tinted
musquash, which is not so dear the

the animal. and is soft and delicate look

which are long. almost to the feet. and
swirl around the figure with the grace
that the ia shion of the day enjoins.
The sleeves are often after the coat or
der. but cling to the arm, not allowing
the cold winds to creep up. Stolelike
trimmings often border the neck and de-
scend to the feet, for stoleS long and SIM
pie still prevail in the very best furs, and
the undue number of heads and tails
have been reduced within limited area.

The Story Teners.
By RUTH CAMERON.

i'd you ever pause in your enJOEmen,
of some wonderful novel or absorbing
short story to think to yourself what a
tremendous debt we all owe to the
story tellers?
The other evening l knew at clock
that l was to receive some important
news at 10. How can i ever wait these
three hours" / said to myself; and the
first hour. during which L wandered
about the house and tried to occupy
my mind with household duties and
with conversation, the seconds seemed
like minutes.
Finally l sat down with a book; al
first l was restless and inattentive. but
soon the great master whose story l
was reading had laid hold on my mind
in few moments l had forgotten to
watch the clock. and in few moments
more it was quarter of 10, and my vigil
was almost at an end.
From how many cares. how much i'm
patience. what sorrows and what
anxieties the great story tellers free
us all: not Indefinitely of course, but
for a precious little while that makes
us able to go back and take up the
burden afresh.
Just think of the hours of tedious
and all the rest which the story tellers
have beguiled in your life.
Think how absolutely unendurable
your DAYS Of convalescence from sick
ness would have been without the
story tellers.
Think of the periods of sorrow and
anxiety into which the story tellers
have brought moments Of blessed dis
traction.
know man who sat and read
voraciously all the morning long the
day his beloved mother was to be
buried: read even to the very moment
of the funeral Some people thought
him heartless. but ! knew he was far
from that and I thought him very
wise to try to put his mind on some
thing that would keep 1t from going
over and over the thought Of his loss
1 doubt if he knew of what he read. 1t
simply served to benumb him a little
the story teller to thank.
God bless the story tellers!
ITO have done things worthy to be
written says one of the greatest OF
them ALL with that wonderful modesty
that helps to make him beloved fig
ure "is a dignity to which no man
makes any approach who has only
written things worthy to be read"
1t is very daring for me to differ with
Sir Walter Scott. and yet l must, for it
seems to me that in many cases he WHO
"has written things worthy to be read
has conferred a benefit on humanity
more enduring and more widespread
than that which comes from many
great deeds.
God bless the story tellers! We could
do without many wiser and greater
men more easily than without them.
