The Art of Recuperating


Some women possess the knack of
always looking their best under all
circumstances. They follow out that
rule, no matter how much time they
have to make preparations and dress.
The first thing to do is to ascertain
at once just how much time remains
before the public appearance, and
then to use that time Wisely, says an
exchange. A sleep of fifteen minutes,
protected from anybody by some
trustworthy person, is the first con-
slderation. Assuming that the gown
and all accessories are in readiness
and the nap indulged in, the next
thing Is O nerve bath" This bath
should consist Of two or three min
utes' immersion in lukewarm water.
This will freshen and quicken all
the faculties. After the bath comes
short rest again. In case there Is
more than an hour given to dressing
1t is we'll to lie down for a half hour.
Many women derive much benefit be-
fore dressing by going out for a short
walk, but with others this gives q
tired feeling and should not be in
dulged in.

Leaf mold. sand and good loan

Let the pot be big enough, but not
too big, or the plant win all so to
roots.
If it is d> sired to force the growth
at any time, use a teaspoon of am
monia in a quart of water once
week.
Keep the pot in a plate or saucer
and let there be two inches of small
stones or charcoal in the bottom OF
the pot to insure good drainage.
Then there will be no harm in
allowing water to remain in the
saucer.
At least once a week place the pot
in the bathtub and give the plant
q thorough shower bath, soaking 1t
well. Once in a while give 1t tea or
coffee, which kill keep the white
worms away. Never expose the
plant to a cold draught, but, on the
other hand, it will not thrive in q
close, ill-ventilated room.
Do not let it stand in the sun
when the leaves are wet, as they
will turn brown.

COLLARS AND SLEEVES MOST IMPORTANT DETAILS OF ALI

Kimono and drop shoulder sleeves
are so universal that the regulation
set-in sleeve seems decidedly old fash
F1oned; many tailors and dressmakers,
however, predict that the set-in
sleeve win be equally favored next
season, In collars we are allowed
to go as far as we like; many of
tnem are very novel; some even
freakish. The Gladstone is the new
est collar; it is usually developed in
a sheer stuff like organdy, batiste or
thin muslin and stands away from
the throat bit in Japanese fashion.
This fad of wearing sheer white col
lars with dark frocks has taken a
strong hold on the fancy this season;
they are seen even on the dressy aft

Young William received a new
diary for a present and was encour-
aged by his mother to set down each
days doings.
The first day he wrote, Got up at
seven," and then continued to record
incidents of the day.
On his mothers advice, he took it
to his teacher for approval.
She criticised his first phrase.
Don't say Got up William" she
said. "The sun doesn't get up; it

Upon retiring that night William

The Juvenile Gentleman
A rapped little fellow

a ragged little fellow
Is walking in the street,
He has no coat upon his shoulders
Nor shoes upon his feet.
But on his little hands he wears
A pair of kid gloves of tan,
Although the size is too large for him
He wears them like a man.
A broken can bangles from his arm,
A demolished stove pipe sits on mis-
head,
And with dignified look he walks
Like a gentleman, born and bred.
At the next corner he stops,
The cane he begins to twirl
A moment later he takes off his hat
And greets his little girl.

Try baked potatoes, sliced bacon
and gravy when you want something
quick and easy, hearty and not eX-

to see that they do not get overdone.
When cooked remove to hot platter

stirred smooth--a fork Is better than

Potato Stains on the Fingers

Dear Margery Doom:
! am one of your readers who has
TO do her own work, and wish YOU,
could tell me how to remove the
stains on my fingers that come from
peeling potatoes. My hands used
to look lovely, but you ought to see
them now. HouseworS makes a Diff
ference, doesn't It? Wishing you
success, I am, MOLLIE r..
Try rubbing the fingers with half
a lemon. 1t is a good idea to always
keep a cut lemon near the kitchen
sink. The juice will quickly cut the
grease that gets under the nails
when one is washing dishes. Thanks
for your good wishes.

Dear Miss nnnn

Lear MISS DOons
Knowing you have helped SO
many before, / thought ! would
write and ask your advice. I am
troubled with blackheads and do
not know the cause of them. as
never use any powders or creams
on my face. / wash my face with
hot water and soap every night.
and once a week squeeze out some
of the blackheads, but in spite of
this / seem to be continually get
ting more. They are very black
and very annoying. Can you adj
wise me what to do? l have heard
that liquid green soap is good. If
this be true how often do you use
il, and what amount ] have also
heard that hot water makes the
face break out in pimples and
makes the skin wrinkled. Is this
true? Please let me know if !
should use hot or lukewarm water
on my face and how often.
Cleanliness and care will remove
blackheads in time. Steam the. face
twice a week by wringing out cloths
in hot water and laying them over
the face, but not over the eyes.
When the skin feels soft and moist.
remove the cloths and pass the tips
of the fingers over the places thar
have blackheads, pressing firmly, to
remove as many as possible.
Then apply cloths wet In hot
witeh-hazel This will cause the
emptied pores to contract. II the
face feels sore after the treatment.
apply little soothing cream.
Do not steam the face more than
twice week. Washing on alter
nate nights with hot water and
liquid green soap and rinsing thor
oughly, first in hot and then in cold
water, will help to eliminate '4he
blackheads. Apply a soothing
cream afterward, to allay irritation.
1t is important to rinse the face
in cold water after it has been
washed and rinsed with hot water.
The cold water will keep the skin
firm.
