Care of the Complexion.

Many people find that their COM
plexions suffer considerably from the
exposure that motoring entails, but
the application of a good face cream
and little fine powder before setting
out will be found to be a great pro-
lection.
1t is fatal to wash the face in either
warm or cold water after a long run;
cream should again be used to remove
all dust and soothing lotion applied
after the former has been carefully
wiped away.
Some women have a great objection
to goggles, on the plea that they are
go extremely unbecoming, but the
wise woman will realize that the
strain on the eyes produces lines and
"crowfeet," and that it is far better
to submit to temporary less beau
tiful appearance than to risk any per-
manent harm.

BY way of variety two hats are
- shown here having pressed crowns
that are not covered to look soft. The
pretty sailor shape of velvet has a
round crown and graceful, Slightly
rolling brim, all very smooth and fin
ished looking.
Shapes of this character are blocked
and covered in factories, where by ma
chinery and steam velvet is adjusted
to the frame without wrinkle, or at
least without any that attract atten-
ton. These hats are really maryels
of skill in workmanship.
The trimming is of the simplest
character--a collar of fur with brush
of fur standing at the front, and hav-
ing an ear of velvet as it's background.
The velvet is supported by loop of
bonnet wire inserted in 1t with its
base sewed to the body of the hat.
This is one of the few hats which
the home milliner may undertake to
trim for herself Such hats are not
plentiful at present, for this is a sea-
son OF workroom millinery, that is,
millinery made in millinery shops.

RECIPES FOR APPLE BUTTER
Two Different Methods of Preparing
DeIicacy That Have Equal
Amount of Merit.

Cook these in the usual way as for
apple sauce, but if you have any fresh
apple juice boiled down to a syrup.
cook them in it, as it improves the
flavor. For six quarts of cooked ap-
pies, then take one pint of good cider
vinegar and two and one-half pounds
of brown sugar. Boil all down to one
gallon, and when thick and nearly
done season to taste with cinnamon
or other spice desired and put up in
jars like jam. 1t will keep we'll for
any length of time.
Another way is this: Boil new cider
down to one-half quantity. Pare cut
and core equal quantities of sweet and
sour apples. Put the sweet apples
into a large kettle to soften a little
first, as they are the hardest Add
enough boiledacider to cook them in
After boiling half an hour, stirring
often, put in the sour apples, and add
more boiled cider, with molasses
enough to sweeten moderately, Boil
until tender, stirring to prevent burn

GASOLINE IN THE KITCHEN
As Cleanser, Nothing Is Better tn,
This Material, Though 1t Must
Be Carefully Handled.

A can of gasoline in the kitchen :.
cleaning purposes will be found
great help if ordinary care is evos
cised against fire. To clean the %
stove, soak the jets in little easo,ino
and it will remove all dirt and j..
away with any odor from the al
range, or scrub the jets with rttIo
brush dipped in gasoline.
To clean copper or aluminium cool,
ing utensils, soak a cloth in gssolina
and rub on the outside of the vessel
This will remove all black or discol
Grafton from the metal.
For grease marks or dirty snots on
woodwork little gasoline annlioa
with cloth will remove them a.
once.
If the drain in the sink becomes
stopped~up, remove all water from tbo
sink and pour in a pint or more of
gasoline and let it stand. This will
cut the cause of stoppage in rtfa
while.
Before backing a stove or range
rub off the top with cloth wet with
gasoline, and it will remove all dirt
and grease and make the backing
stay on longer.
Be careful to keep all gasoline away
from the fire.

hard to do.
A plush Cor, as it is called now,
fur-cloth) hat is shown also, and al
though it is a pressed shape covered
with plush by hand, it is not beyond
the possibilities of the home milliner.
TIL re is no attempt to cover the
crown with exact smoothness, but a
circle of plush is cut out and laid over
the shape and the fullness at the base
of the crown laid in plaits at intervals
about il.
The brim is covered separately with
plush cut to fit it in shape, and is
lined on the side next the crown with
silk. A clever little touch of style
is achieved by the extension of the
brim at the left front over the right
side in the effect of a strap. The
end is rounded and brought up above
the top of the brim at the right front.
1t IS apparently held in place by silk
cord through which it is thrust.
At the side an embroidered orna.
ment serves to mount a cluster of pea
cock feathers (not the "eyes") to the
brim. They spring out toward the
back and complete very novel and
