Care of the Eues

KFHERB are few people who realize
 the amount of care the eyes de- mand if they are to retain until old age their brflliancy. usefulness and health It is not until ones eyesight begins to trouble people that they begin to take care of the eyes. and very often 1t is then too late.
 If the eyes are to be kept strong there are three things to be avoided:
 First--Readfng in bed.
 Second.-Workingi in a failing light. Third.-Exposing them to the glare of artificial light or strong sunlight when they are overtired.
 camomfie Tea.
 Weak eyes can be strengthened by bathing them with strong solution of camonile tea This is exceedingly good, although it is a very old fash toned remedy. For each application the tea must be made fresh
 When one is reading or sewing the light should come from behind, over the left shoulder. and as soon as the light begins to get dim the occupation should imm ediately be stopped.
 Do not sit facing a glaring light. All the lights should be covered with shades. the best color for the eyes be- ing green or pink. It is a great mis- take to read or write in your own shadow and never read by freight.

 A certain way to ruin the eyes is reading in bed by candleIight. as this overstrafns the delicate mechanism which must enlarge or make smaller the pupil The hickering of the candle overworks the muscles and eyestrain is sure to result
 Sunlight May Cause Blindness.
 Reading in the bright sunlight has often been known to cause blindness. You should either sit with your back to the sun or else prop up the book un- til it is in the shadow.
 People frequently overlook the ne- cessity for washing the eyes. This should be done at least once a day with tepid or cold water. If the eyes are very sensitive a solution of three grains of boracic acid to ounce of water may be used. The camomile tea solution mentioned above is also very good for strengthening the eyes.
 The eyes should always be bathed after returning from a motor drive or long walk, as particles of dust accumu- late round the edges of the eyelids and work into the corners of the eyes Should your eyes constantly burn and smart and the lids be reddish cold water compress laid over the closed eyes for few minutes every day will rest the organs wonderfully.
 If any dust blows into one's eyes ones first thought is to rub the eye with one3s fingers or handkerchief. in

The Art of Using
 Perfume

NVHE Frenchwoman fs universally
 acknowledged to possess the art Of using perfume correctly. and a dainty elusive fragrance pervades the clothes of the well dressed woman There iB only just the suggestion of perfume about her, but 1t Is this that makes one crave for more. 4 strong, overpoWer- ing scent is suggestive of Vulgarity. and when choosing a perfume decide upon one that conveys a subtle sug- gestton rather than a strong scent
 As every one knows, a good perfume is rather expensive. but it is better by far not to use scent at all than to buy cheap one. Care should be taken over the choice of this, as one of the secrets of pertaining is to keep to one scent alone and to use no other
 Scent (Sachets.-Dainty ungerfes can be scented in many ways The dried petals of cIoVe pinlxS or any other flow CT sprinlx1ed between the layers of linen impart a sweet fragrance Scented sachets are invaluable for pertaining linen and dresses, and these can be easily made at home Make some small bags and i'll with wadding which has been previously sprinkled with the favorite perfume. This holds the scent for several weeks and fresh Wad- ding can be easily inserted when the perfume has departed. Powdered orrfa root affords another means for making these sachets. Small bags of this hung in the wardrobe and sewed in the Iin- ings of dresses and coats 1mpart O sweet perfume. Another way of ob- taining the elusive fragrance is to spray the dress that Is going to ba worn with perfume.
 Scented Coat Hangers.-Coat hang CTS can be used as a means of perfum- ing the clothes. Sprinkle a layer of cotton wool with powdered orris root and fold over, then bind this round the coat hanger and cover with pretty silk muslin. Some attractive gifts can be fashioned in this way by the girl with clever fingers. Gloves and hand kerchiefs can be delicate1y perfumed by lining the boxes in which they are kept with scented wadding. This is another suggestion for the girl who wishes to make pleasing presents for her friends.
 A few drops of eau de cologne or lavender water added to the water in which the face is washed are very fn- vigorating and make the skin smell sweet. Perfuming the hair is rather extravagant, as the perfume quickly evaporates, but this can be accom- pIished by fixing tiny scent sachst beneath the puffs or curls. It is a dam gerous practice to spray the hair with perfume, as the spirit in the scent de- stroys the life of tho hair and turns q gray,

New and Novel Uses For Fur on Winter Costumes

combination, and decidedly good look ing is the model pictured. The long stole is edged with the leopard, and a little buckle of leopard holds 1t at the throat. The huff. a baggy affair, is trimmed with two bands of leopard.
 Perhaps the greatest fur novelty of the winter is the shopping huff. a charming example of which is pictured in the chinchilla set. The huff is not carried in the hands, but is slung over the shoulder by a long cord. It has several pockets. fitted to hold small packages. The stole accompanying the huff is long and flat and worn with the careless manner that is very modish.
 So insistent have the creators of fashion been in the use of fur this sea- son that there is. scarcely a suit, coat, gown or even a negligee that does not boast touch of this ubiquitous trim ming. It edges wired lace tunics on evening gowns and lends the modish touch to afternoon frocks. Nothing is more effective than the combination

Birdcages From Japan

IF you have a bird in a cage you will
 be interested in some charming cages which come from Japan. They are made of fine bamboo splints, stained mahogany color, no thicker than the brass wire of which our cages are made, and the cages are about the same size as ours.
 One of these cages is decorated with little scrolls and reliefs in coral colored lacquer, and the four legs of the cage are tipped with real ivory. The various small cups fastened about on the in- side of the cage for water and seed are bits of real antiquity porcelain. A little blue figured dish not much big Der than saltce1Iar, with bu1ging sides, is fastened to a bamboo splint across one corner of the cage; in an other corner and at a different height Is fastened a tiny cup of green which would hold enough water for day.
 There is something indescribab1y picturesque about these cages. One has but to imagine a little Japanese of the most attractive in- mates of the bird stores - hopping from bamboo perch to bamboo perch and a Japanese vase of iris standing beneath the cage to make the posses sion of one of them seem a necessity.

Boudolr Caps

LIVERY girl knows about the fasci-
 nation of the dainty boudoir cap, which is delightful alike for the con va1escent and for the girl who likes to look pretty in the privacy of her own room.
 One of the prettiest of the new caps is made of ribbon woven basket fash ion over white net. It is especially nice for the "hope'' chest of the en- gagged girl
 Gut circular piece of white net the size desired, sixteen inches square, and then the corners rounded off is about right, and place across 1t strips of rib bon about seven-eighths of an inch wide The strips should be the same distance apart on the net as the width of the ribbon; in this instance seven eighths of an inch. Tack the strips with needle and thread at each end. The circle now has the appearance of out of the tackled lengths of the ribbon the same number of lengths up and down the net.
 The circle now has the appearance of a. satin and net checkerboard. Tack the ends of these lengths of rib bon also. This fastening of the ends is not however. sufficient to keep the ribbon in place, so in the center of each place where one strip of ribbon crosses the other, making two thick nesses of ribbon. put a French knot of twisted embroidery silk, running it through the two ribbons and the net to hold them securely.
 For frill put a two inch double fold of the plain net about the cap with two rows of stitching to form the cas- ing. Run through this casing a piece of narrow hat elastic so that the cap when finished will fit snugly. When the elastic is drawn through the casing and fastened the plain fold of the net on the edge will be as full of frin as one could wish.
 Twist a two inch ribbon about the cap to conceal the casing, tacking it to keep it in place; then put a good sized bow of the same width on the exact front so the cap will have the appear ance of being drawn up and tied

DIED OF HEART FAILURE
 IN THE WATER. J. r. Clifford of Westfeld, Mass, Had Started te Swim from Ocean Beach Doct<.w

About o'clock Sunday afternoon the sudden death of John T. Clifford, aged 60 years, of Westheld, Mass, oc- cured at Ocean Beach. while he was in bathing. Clifford, with a party of others from Westfield was passing a week at the beach. Sunday afternoon. with several friends, he went in bath ing, and all started to swim from the pier at the beach to the raft. The others of the party reached the raft in safety and turned around to see what had become of Clifford, as he did not appear near by. They saw a crowd gathered at the pier and mistrusting that Clifford has been overcome, they started back to shore,where they found the dead body of Clifford.
 Soon after leaving the pier, and be- fore he had gone many feet, Clifford was stricken with heart failure and died almost instantly. He made no outcry, but his condition was observed by a number of those around the pier and the captain of launch dove into the water and took the body to shore. Several medical men who were at the beach at the time were called. but Cliff ford was beyond their aid The dead man was not known to have had a weak heart, and no fear for his safety was felt by those in the party with him. Dr. Harold Heyer. acting medi- cal examiner, who was called, pro- r1ounced death due to heart failure.
 Clifford was employed in Westfieid as a buffer in textile mill He leaves a wife and five children, all grown up. The body will be sent to Westfeld this morning for burial. A large crowd was attracted to the scene of the tragedy.
