No matter how different we arc In
station. how rich or poor. how intel
liEent or how unintelligent. there are
duties and considerations we owe 10
each other which should not be neg
lectcd. woman often wonders why
she Is left out when Invitations arc
being issued for some important az
fair. She generally thinks It is pre-
meditated mcanness on the part of
some one who has n grudge against
her. and condemns that "some one"
unmercifully Rarely does she look
70 herself and her own actions for
the cause
hoard woman say: "she should
be glad 10 have mo at any of her az
fairs; dress we'll and entertain her
guests" That woman did not stop 10
think that every other woman pres
ent does something to the best of her
ability. without thinking she is doing
any special favor TO the hostess.
Tt is woman's duty to herself to
look her best and be az arablo and
pleasant as possible whenever and
wherever che can. one OF tho chief
charms OF wonanhood Is q sweet dis
position. She should not assume pleas

appearance. she should not expect n
reward. but be satisfied with its Of.

upon her face and its lasting beauty
What can be more disconccrtinc TO a
hostess than woman who attends a
function and sits stolidly with an ex-
preston upon her face which says
plainly. Il dare you TO entertain me"
or woman who assumes an air Of SUI

just such women. Do you wonder that
their names arc scratched off tho list
OF invitations for tho next affair?
Women owe a duty to each other
tho Cuty of appreciation Each one
knows that any tea, luncheon. or din
ner prepared for other than the direct
members OF ii family requires thought
and some work. Suppose a woman is
obliged to bring all the vases from
every room in tho house and hire a
few palms and perhaps borrow her
friends tea cloth or table cloth. her

so much more charming and desirable

Remember, much time is wasted in

Edith: There is nothing more dis

trouble. such as indigestion. and some
times from imperfect teeth The

the formula I am sure Will help you:
one gram picnic acid. twenty five
grams boric acid. thirty drops thymol
of mentha, ten grams tincture OF anise.

Cone: An orange eaten before
breakfast viii help to clear tho COM
plexion. and will also aid digestion.
Eat all the fruit and vegetables you
can while they are In season. They
are much better In warm weather than
The rich. greasy foods and meat. If
you must have meat. only eat little
once n day. Apples are also good for
clearing the complexion. Before re-
firing eat an orange with salt or an
apple. Physicians claim bananas are
indigestible for the reason that we do
not mastlcate them we'll enough

bathed twice a day in tepid water.
solution of strong alum water should
then be applied and allowed to dry.
then the feet rubbed with alcohol and
powdered with boric acid. The hose
should be changed once day and
twice il necessary.
S. L. O.: Elbows that have been
neglected persistently show thick
ened circle OF cuticle covered with
goose flesh" To reduce this and make
the elbows smooth, massage with a
good skin food. At night when retir-
ing cover the elbows with a thick APP
plication of the skin food and then
handage them. IF you are persistent
in this trea tIncnt they WILL soon be-
come smooth. Never use your elbows
