 Many Phoenix people are desirous of making presents not only to the local graduates but they will want to send to the sons and daughters of friends and relatives in other parts of the country The latter class of presents should be not only beautiful but unique. suggestive of the country. They should be unlike any presents that the recipients have had before, Something that they have read about and heard of but have not seen.

Chapman of Fullerton, whose Chap mans old Mission Brand is the most famous on the coast. Not long ago Walter Hill sent him a box of Arizona oranges and lately received the fol- lowing acknowledgment from Mr. Chapman:
 T am just in receipt of your letter and also of the box of oranges. want to thank you very much for thinking of me and for giving me the pleasure of seeing some first class fruit. It came through in splendid condition and certainly is of d quality of which you may well be proud
 T am very glad that you do not have very much of such stock as that to put upon the New York market. You might spoil those people back there. While they are ignorant of what can be done in other places they receive our fruit with much favor. It will be some time. I presume. before your growers will be able to put any large quantity of such fruit on the market.

FROM SUN TO WIND.

THE discomfort caused by exposure to
the sun and wind are the same. Sc
we're burning of the skin does it real
harm, which lasts unless careful and
stringent means are taken to cure it.
Permanent coarsening in color and tex
ture is often the result. OF course some
skins suffer much more than others.
Water is a great enemy to the preser-
walton Of the face when exposed to sun
or wind. and if this were more fully real
lied than 1t is from the very beginning
there would be far fewer cases OF dis
figuring burning and freckling. No water
should touch the skin for some little time
before and after it is subjected to expos
ure. In place of water a cooling lotion
should be used, the face freely mois-
tened with it, left fer few minutes, and
then wiped dry with very soft muslin, or
thick layer of face powder left on for a
while Will prove cooling and refreshing.
For this purpose prepared fulIer's earth
is remarkably soothing.
To clean the face under such conditions,
use good face cream. and you will find
that it will really cleanse the skin, not
merely the surface. which is the most
that water can do. Before retiring the
CTccu SHOulu De ScHliy RUBBED INTO the
skin. and then left on for ten minutes or
SO before being entirely removed with
muslin.
Similar treatment should be given in the
morning. when, after the cream is re-
moved. the face should be bathed with a
soothing lotion, very gently, dried, and
finally lightly powdered with ordinary
complexion powder. Powder is also the
mainstay as protective agent, but some
women refuse to use it. They are, how
ever. sacrificing something that is an i'm
provement to the appearance of the skin
and also rejecting its most effective
means Of protection. The protective
powers of ordinary powder are much in
creased by the application of little cool
ing cream first. this being well but gen
tly rubber into the skin.
, 20 sum up, let water be discarded as
Tar as possible when burning is feared,
and also be careful not to use the skin
roughly, using nothing but the softest
and finest Of towels. sterilized gauze be-
ing preferred. Find face cream that
suits your skin and use it freely A
good liquid powder is an effective pro-
lection.

When You Feel Blue.

0NE of the best ways for bringing back
~ normal feeling Of well being when
you think yourself overworked and
abused is to read an old book on the
duties Of housekeepers. After persuins
a chapter or two you will probably
think yourself the luckiest woman on
the face of the earth.
To begin with the book will tell
about making the kitchen fire bright
and early Nm the morning. There was
wood and coal 20 be brought and there
were ashes to be carried downstairs
later to be sifted, for economy's SAKE.
If, perchance, the fire in the Kitchen
stove burned throughout the night, 1t
must still be shaken and poked, the
ashes must be taken away ana theE
enc must wait until the fire had burned
to brightness.
Then there were the carpets. tight
against the corners of the room ana
snug along the edges of the floor. Ihey
must be laid over papers and camphor'
they must be swept thoroughly once
week, they must be wiped of with
damp cloth enthusiastically, they must
be lightly swept every day. And then,
horror of horrors, they must be torn
up from their firm mornings twice
year and beaten and shaken until they
were free from all memories OF the
past.
rhem alone ought to make us sure our
lives are cast in pleasant places.
Then there were the washing stands
and the ever present problem Of keep
ing the bedrooms supplied with plenty
| of hot and cold water. No running
water in every room in those days. and
lucky you were if there was hot water
! in the bathroom.
| There were the fires in the different
| parts of the house. The bedroom fires
! the fires in the various living rooms, the
dining room fire-all had to be attend
ed to once or twice or oftener eacf

ashes and the furniture. too. must oe
