A preparation that will suit most
tender skins or skin that has been

an ounce of powdered orris, two
ounces of powdered CASTLE soap, one
half drachm oil of bergamot. four
drops of bitter almond oil and a quar-
ter of a drachm of extract of musk

water is used and the skin is cleansed

Any girl or woman who will be
careful to protect her skin and care
for it as just described even though
It is naturally of dry texture will
not burn or tan nearly as quickly as
will the girl with the oily skin. One
would think that a girl with oily skin

It has often been proven that she
burns even more quickly. Why this
Is so is because Of the difference in

QUEER THING IS THE TURTLE
Scotch Naturalist of Wide Repute De-
clares 1t Is Neither Fish. Flesh
Nor Fowl.

According to Macdonald, a Scotch
naturalist of wide repute, the turtle is
the strangest of all living things and
the most unfathomable. He can live
in the water as well as out of it and
can seemingly go for indefinite lengths
OF time without air or food or light.
He is neither fish nor flesh nor fowl,
and yet he has the characteristics OF
all three. AS for his eating, it seems
quite superfluous, for he can remain
shut up in a barrel for a number of
weeks and emerge at the end of the
time apparently none the worse for
the lack of food and light and air.
The baby turtle seems also just as
Indifferent to it's surroundings as its
parents are. AS soon as it comes
forth from it's egg it scuttles off to the
sea. 1t has no one to teach or guide
it, In its brain seems implanted the
idea that until its armor becomes hard
It has no defense against hungry fish

Card Cases,

The thin lingerie frock demands a
cardcase of handkerchief linen, en-
broidered with very fine design:
those done in eyelet embroidery are
the most effective. If you do the tiny
flowers and foliage in solid work, pad
the petals first with darning cotton
and cover this with fine mercerized
cotton. Scallop the edges using the
buttonhole stitch. and whipstitch the
sides together
With the one piece frock or tailored
costume should be carried a card case
of heavy linen. The design Is not
so fine on these and can be done with
white or COlors.
For instance, if you choose a card
case of natural colored linen, the de-
sign can be effectively done in white.
brown or dark blue. There are a few
designs to be worked with the Bull
garian colors, and these are extreme
ly effective when done in the brilliant
hues on a background of tan linen.

At Eastbourne, says an English

name is Mrs. PIERCE of Tower street

by placing her feet upon the table

to enjoy the feast She manipulated
the knife and fork quite as well as
any ordinary person would with her
hands, and although she looked very
uncomfortable with her feet on the
table, she was quite at ease.
