BEAUTIFYINe NECK AND ARMS
Method Of Treatment That Will Keep
Them White and Cool During
the Entire Evening.

To make neck and arms look white
and plump in evening dress under a
strong light. first battle them with a
soothing lotion, wipe with cotton and
powder freely, putting on thick lay
er Of powder. Do this as long before
dressing as possible, and leave the
powder on for as long as you can.
Then the last thing wipe of the pow
der entirely with cotton, or leave just
the merest trace on II such Is your
habit.
So treated, the skin will keep white
and cool through the evening. Do not
use water or cream, as they are In
clined at times to cause greasy look.
Either OF these for mere cleansing
purposes should be used some hours
before going out A layer Of cream
chiffon worn as a guimpe is good to
wear to prevent a CHASTITY look which
results under a strong light and which
is the effect produced unless ones
neck is very plump. Chiffon gives
the appearance Of plumpness.

DRESSING YOUNG GIRL

THING OF A PROBLEM.
Wise Mother, at This Stage Of Her
Daughters Life, viii Provide
Pretty Things and Teach Her
TO Take Care Of Them.

There is no period in q girls life
when It Is 30 difficult to dress her
successfully as between the ages Of
fourteen and seventeen, and though
the problem of finding suitable clothes
is one that faces all mothers Of grow
ing daughters. one seldom finds any
very wide selection Of ready-made gar
ments suited to this purpose.
In choosing frocks. q great deal de-
ponds on the girl herself, for 1t is no
good buying dainty attire for the
young person who considers the care
Of gowns and hats perfectly unneces-
sary waste of time. Miss Sixteen, with
opinions Of this kind. needs a certain
amount OF training before any respect
for her garments can be instilled ef-
fectively. and though the majority OF
girls today are as anxious to be as
well turned out as their grown-up sis
tiers, the tomboy maiden still remains.
and the difficulties Of clothing her &C.
cordingly.
Il have often heard" said mother
recently, that rough and serviceable
materials, serge and holland in dark
colors, and such like. are all that
should be used in schoolgirls outfit,
but this is, think, great mistake.
No girl will ever learn to value her
things and take a pride in her appear
ance II only supplied with garments
Of workmanlike but ugly type. An
occasional pretty gown. a becoming
hat. soft solors, and light materials
will, by their very charm, teach her
better than hundred wordy sermons
the necessity for care where her pos
sessions are concerned"
This being the case, 1t is wisest to
exercise great care in choosing a girls
clothes. and what is more, she should
be allowed to make her own sugges-
tions and have her individual ideas
carried out as far as they are COM
patible with good taste and common
sense. Mothers who do this are lay
ing the foundations Of a practical
knowledge in the details of dress and
expenditure that will prove invaluable
in after years.

Styles Of Lard Pail Type Of Fire Pot.

pipe attached to the top for a draft,
with q sheet iron cover and draft
through the wood, accomplished by a
square hole which could be regulated
by a piece Of sheet iron held against
1t by earth or a stone. These little
stoves, OF course, required much more
labor to fire than a given number OF
oil pots, but this orchard was remote
from oil storage and the protection
was satisfactory. One grower has
used wood in open fires, using three
large logs, two laid in V-shape with
about six inches opening at the point
of the V, and third log laid upon this
with some brush and oil for a starter,
gave good fires. Two men with polk
ers were able to keep the fires under
control and continue their burning
throughout a considerable time.
Coal has not been very satisfactory
used in open fires. Sheet iron tunnels
supported on a base OF malleable iron
and with a crate, have given fair re-
suits, but they require rather more
attention in replenishing, particularly
IL the fires burn low and the removal
of cinders is necessary. Some or
chardists who are experienced in frost
protection, estimate that with oil one
man can care for not to exceed 200
pots. aud with wood or coal fires, one
man to fifty or sixty fires is usually
required to maintain the maximum Of
efficiency. Orchard heating means a
large amount Of work in a small
amount of time. Injury from light
frost when at full bloom frequently
may be prevented by large fires
around the outside OF the plantation.

Although waists are things OF the

in order to attain the natural figure
greater attention than \ever must be
paid to the corset. These wonderful
nearly straight lines from the arm to
the hips, or rather to the knees, for
the new corsets reach to Just above
the knees, are due more to the art OF
the corsetiere than to any dietary or
exercise. The latest thing in corsets

bones at all over the hips. 1t is made

crops. The rate Of wind has, OF
course, much to do with the number
OF fires required. In short, the heat
ing of this atmosphere is a question
In physics in which some Of the vary
ing factors are, the rate Of the wind,
the humidity, the heat units con-
tanned in fuel, and the stage of devel-
opment OF the flowers and fruit.
In some experiments, with a run OF
wind about five miles an hour, eighty
oil pots to the acre have raised the
temperature ten degrees above that
in the unprotected areas. With a
higher wind or lower temperature,
more pots would be required. 1t is
the general experience that the COM
bination of heat and smoke is neces-
sary for the best measure Of protec-
ton.
There is no question about the fire
pot and fuel oil making the best
means OF heating. There are many
types OF fire pots and the principal
points in which they vary are the
burning surface, the regulation OF the
burning surface, capacity, the conven'
fence with which they may be stacked
for storing, and their durability. The
lard pail type burns much more slow

number Of pots fairly even temper

pots, which carry considerable
quantity of oil fed through pipe upon
a burning pan, give the greatest uni
formity with the minimum of atten-
ton. They are more expensive and
many times require careful adjust
ment for best results.

ton depends upon the ability to raise
the temperature of the air to a point
at which there Is no danger Of the
fruits being injured. The point at
which injury is likely to occur de-
ponds upon the development OF the
flowers and buds. With the buds just
showing the pink, the apples set, or
the blooms down, a temperature OF
80 or even so degrees has not proved
fatal; while with the apples in full
bloom, a temperature OF 30 and posi-
bly, even higher may be fatal.
Recent work in attempts at frost
prevention all tend to show that the
best measure OF protection Is fur
nished by a large number OF small
fires placed at intervals throughout
the plantation. In tree fruits the
temperature usually is higher in the
top Of the tree than at the ground.
