4 IL things connected with the
n bride and her wedding are dam
ty, so 1t is quite natural that she
should stock her toilet table afresh.
First OF all, she wants a delicate
saohet powder for scenting her
trunks, bags, boxes, and bureau draw
ers. Perhaps the most lasting and
yet dainty scent 10 secured by mixing
powdered orris root and any good
violet sachet powder in equal quaint
ties, This is really more elusive than
any floral scent that you could sa-
lect,
Every bride will want a nice Law
ender powder for her linen, II she
knew she were going to trap the
young mar last summe she would
have been wise to have dried all the
lavender leaves she could beg, Dor
row., or steal, but 1t is too late for
that now, and this powder il w
mora lasting than the dried flowers.
Mix ten ounces Of dried lavender
Leaves, three ounces Of powdered
benzoin and six ounces of cyprus
powder. Add to this one and one
halt drains Of Gil Of lavender.
she will also want a preparation
for perspiration, and while some Of
the already prepared articles are
good, the best thing for excessive
perspiration under the arms Is COM
mon baking soda mixed in equal pro-
portion with plain u%nscented taleum
powder. Never battle under the arms
with scenta Of any kind: better wash
with a good bath soap and then rub
on alcohol to which a little powdered
alum has been added, finally dusting
with the baking powder and talcum
mixture.
The lemon should have q conspicu,
ous place on the toilet table tor some
time before the wedding. The bride
Ia apt to be sewing industriously and
this Is not particularly good tor the
fingers. She should keep a cut lemon
on her dressing table. Every night
after she has washed her hands she
should stick her fingers right into the
pulp OF the lemon and rub them
around and around. This will help to
remove stains, stop tho growth Of the
cuticle at the base Of the nail, and
make the knuckles look white and
soft instead of red and rough. In
case the skin has been roughened at
the end Of the finger by pricking with
the needle, rub it with a piece Of pun
ice stone before the wounds have time
to absorb dust and dirt.
The hair Is an important part OF
the brides makeup. II 1t is stubborn
and sticks out at angles. rub a few
drops OF br~illiantine In the palm Of
the hand, thsn rub the hair brush
around In that, and brush lightly over
the hair. This will make the rough
ends stay In place.
The bride should wash her hair
three days before the wedding, In or
der to give it a chance to get back to
normal conditions. The CASTLE soap
jelly IL one OF tho best shampoos for
tho dark haired girl, while mixture OF
green soap and listerine is the right
thing for the blonde. The jelly II
made BY shaving a cake of best white
CASTLE soap into a pint of boiling wa
water, then take about two table
spoonfuls of the jelly, adding a salt
spoonful Of borax II the water In
which the hair is to be washed lie
hard, then rub until a thick lather
forms, Now rinse several times,
making each bowl lof water cooler un-

Two tablespoonfuls Of listerine, two
tablespoonful of tincture OF green
soap, and the white of one egg make
an excellent shampoo for the girl
with blonde locks, Wet the hair with
warm water. then rub the mixture
