A CURE FOR DIsCONTENT

WOMEN are taught very wrongly
about love. They are allowed TO
read love stories at a tender age and to
form a totally false notion OF love.
They see themselves as charmers at a
very early age. They begin trying to
captivate. to charm, TO enslave. the op-
posite sex before they are out of the
nursery. They live and die-many.
many OF them-without ever in the
least understanding the truth about
love or. in fact, about anything else.
Women are very envious by nature.
There seems to be plenty of justifica-
ton in this one way you look at It.
Why should one woman have luxury.
ease, travel. society and fine clothes
and another woman have only toll and
loneliness and privation? This is a
useless question. We cannot explain
the inequalities of life. but there is an
answer to the woman who asks this
question. 1t IS this: The more barren
the field the greater the privilege of
creation. You have a chance to see
what you can find by way of Joy and
beauty; you have an opportunity to
create your own atmosphere. and il
can be a very lovely one If you learn
the secret of making it so.

IT may seem incredible, yet seasoned
shoppers exist who are entirely ig
norant of the unnumbered resources of

never even bought and who have but a
vague idea as to what it is They will
do well to learn. Footing, it may be
explained to those not of the elect. is

varying widths. beginning at a half

TO SOFTEN SHOE POLISH.

EvEN when they come in those con-
venient self opening" boxes the
polishes for patent leather and other
shoes which are put up in the form of
paste blacking have an extravagant
fashion of drying into crumbly Jumps
soon after the box has been opened.
Water has no effect on them, as they
are of entirely different material from
the old fashioned shoe blacking
paste" In one family several boxes
of this patent kind with contents but
partly used had been thrown away as
entirely useless before the house moth

tried setting a discarded box on a
warm radiator. In a few minutes the
contents had softened into one mass,
which was in condition for use imme-
diately.
In trying this method care should be
taken not to risk any chance of over
heating or possible contact with y
flame, as the materials of which the
paste is made are highly inf1ammable
and few minutes inattention might
easily result in a sudden and danger

WHAT POTASH WILL DO.

CONCENTRATED potash dissolved
in a little water will cleanse the
grimiest and greasiest of nickel plate
on a cook stove as IL by magic. After
dissoIving the potash in a little water
rub 1t over the plating with a small
mop. An old mop is good for the pur-
pose. If by accident little of the pot
ash should get on the hands or fingers
dip them into a little vinegar. 1t will
be well. however. to take the greatest
care that it does not get on the hands.
Kitchen sinks. drains and garbage
buckets may be thoroughly cleaned in
this way Grease stains that have been
ground into an old kitchen flooring will
come out with potash when nothing
else would have any effect on them.
Use a hot solution. and II one applica-
ton is not enough use second or even
third If the wood is very white the
solution will sometimes leave a yellow
ish stain. To avoid this mix the solu-
tion with a little lime until a thick
paste is formed. then cover the spot
with the paste and let it remain on the
| floor for twelve hours. For flooring of
better quality a weak solution of full
er's earth and soda is sometimes used

FASHION
Whims and Fads

THE orient has been influencing col
ors and styles for several years
past to some degree. and now a new
note from that region comes in as a
result of the recent coronation OF the
emperor of India. Durbar colorings are
the latest-gay tones. typically East
Indian, in many odd designs. For those
who do not care for weird patterns the
durbar colorings may be used in in
nocuous roses and other flowers, and
they make borders and trimmings that
are very effective and stand out as
something and different from the pas
tel and natural shades usually adopted
for such designs.
The durbar colorings are utilized also
in millinery. bright plumage carrying
out the idea in some instances and gay
silks and facings and even parti- col
models being seen. The really sum

influence of the durbar more than any

White net is most favored of the ma

neckwear from Paris. Plain. plated or

CARE OF THE FACE.

A LII ordinary soaps contain some
free alkalies which make the skin
hard and dry and destroy the natural
oil which renders the body waterproof
Parts of the body. of course, require to
be washed with soap and hot water
every day. but the hot water with soap
all over twice a week keeps the skin
in perfect order.
To a woman the care of her face is.
perhaps, of prime Importance in the
winter time. The face is so much ex-
posed to cold winds and damp weather
that it is in need of constant care from
November until May. The first point
about a face is to know how to wash
it. The first rule never to be broken
by any one who has the slightest care
for personal appearance is never to
use hard water. Hard water combines
with soap and forms an insoluble stear-
ate OF lime that can be seen floating
on the surface OF the water and is as
injurious a thing as can possibly be
applied to the skin. The face can
never be properly cleansed, the texture
is injured. the skin becomes hard and
looks prematurely old.
The best water is rainwater. II this

or benzoin to the water used, which
will soften it wonderfully Then with

man can use. but IL she insists upon
using something else let her try soft

applied 1t should be thoroughly washed

THE CARDINALS ORANGE.

A n interesting modern curio of Eng
lish origin is the cardinals or
ange," the adaptation of an idea that
originated with Cardinal Wolsey. The
story goes that the famous cardinal was
in the habit Of holding to his nose "a
very fair orange. whereof the meat OF
substance within was taken out and
filed up again with the part Of a
sponge. wherein were vinegar and other
confections against the pestilent airs

CLEANING SUGGESTION.

The next time you are cleaning the
pantry shelves fold at least three
newspapers the longest way of the full
sheets. Place them on the shelf with
the fold in front and tit snugly. The
next time you want a clean paper slip
the edge of knife along the fold of
the outer sheet and remove the soiled
top. The remainder OF the sheets will
be left intact for future use and much

WHITE HAIR THE RAGE.

Now that white hair contrasted with
a face of youthful loveliness has be-
come the rage, a great many women
are consigning their hair dyes to the
shelves and using every possible means
TO restore their locks to their natural
loveliness. White hair is no longer n
mark of old age. With fresh young
face. flushed and innocent of iine It is
alfuring enough to arouse envy IN the
heart of almost any woman.
White hair requires careful handling
to look well. Brushes and combs must
be cleaned every day. for a dusty brush
