side Simplicity should be the rule in cut
This said a wcll-known explorer. is
the most useful Christmas gift have
ever had given me. and it was made by
a little girl He held up to view a small
and well-wOrn housewife OF a style not
affected by young women when making
gifts for brother. friend or sweetheart.
The housewife was a piece of oIlcloth.
OF a very fine quality, longer than ones
hand. but not so broad and curved at
each end. 1t was lined with fine red fan
mel. whose edges were bound to those Of
the oilCloth by Il narrow red ribbon o.
Its interior arrangements were divided
in three portions. At one end were
sewed three flaps OF pure white flannel
pinked on the edges. the upper flaps be-
ing smaller than the lower one, and
these were filled with needles. The other
end had a red silk pocket. stitched up into
three divisions for papers Of needles. and
the center was a small. fiat cushion. COW
cred with flannel and stuffed with wool,
A red ribbon held these articles fat to
the oiIcIoth and little bows made hit OK
decoration. 4 piece Of ribbon was sewed
to the back. the two ends folded over the
middle, and the ribbon tied them down
in a snug. Nat case.
The value OF this cas-" lay in the fact
that the wool and flannel were pure and
preserved the needles and pins OF the OK
plorer in any sort Of climate. from the
north pole. which he had sought. TO the
regions Of the antarctic circle. An even
greater value lay in the good quality of
the oilCloth. which formed a perfect pro-
lection against wet. Although the little
case had been in use for twenty years II
was as good as ever.

A clean hot iron, a box Of the sort Of
starch which does not need cooking,
pure soap which is strong enough to re-
move CRIME but does not roughen or
redden the hands, two balls of bluing
tied in a square of canton flannel and
plenty of warm water, these are the
things needed by the girl who would
Iaunder her own shirtwaists after the
days work is done. If she goes about
the work in the right way it need not be
arduous and If she works carefully she
can soon prove herself a good laundress,
and save money and torn clothes besides.
It is a good idea to soak the soiled
clothes for ten or twelve hours before
washing them. This soaking process can
not hurt even the finest lingerie blouse
and clothes thus treated are much more
easily and quickly washed. They should
be well soaked and put in warm water.
A teaspoonfuI Of powdered boraX or
a tablespoonful of household ammonia to

clothes.
The shirtwaists might be soaked in this
way over night. The next morning they
should be rubbed between the hands, or
on one OF the small rubbing boards about
a foot long. that come for this sort Of
laundry work, in fresh. warm soapsuds.
Five minutes will serve to make them
perfectly clean il soaked over night.
They should then be thoroughly rinsed
in warm water and blued. To make the

looks sky blue. There is no danger of
streaky bluing water II the blue ball is
always kept in bit Of canton flannel.
Three or four shirtwaists could be put
through this soaping and rinsing and
bluing process in fifteen minutes at the
most. They will then have the whole day
to dry.
In the evening the waists should be
starched with uncooked starch and part
ly dried. The amount of starch needed
will depend on the weight OF the waists
and the degree of stiffness desired. Thin
ner waists do not need so much starch
as heavier ones.
After the waists are starched they can
ator so that they will dry quickly. When
roll them in little packages and begin
ironing.
Iron the sleeves first with a smooth.

when it should be wetted and exposed to

OLD FASHIONED BEAUTY HINTS

I herself must sit down and take a review
Of her daily and nightly doings.
As for washing the face every day in
| only cold water. the habit may be de-
scribed as idiotic in the extreme, since
the face-skin, exposed more than that of
any part of the body to dust must. of
course. be more thoroughly and regular
iy cleansed.
To neglect the nightly face bath, then.

oil that fill them, widen. Erow coarse and

For regular face washing. a pure and
mild soap is necessary-a good oily CASTLE
Is the best OF all-but IL the eruption is
already started, or the skin shows the
preliminary blackhead here and there,
potash SOAP" which is the green soap
Of the druggist may be used with benefit
As this is among the purest soaps on the
market, It may be applied in liquid form
with gentle friction all over the face: but
II this seems too severe, the soap can be
mixed first with the water. After the
careful rinsing whatever sting the alkali
has left will be Immediately soothed by
bathing the face with a good toilet wat
er diluted with plain water.
Much Of the trouble that comes to the
face-skin is caused by improperly laun-
dered wash clothes and dirty sponges
The girl who wants a pretty complexion
must be very careful with these toilet
articles, for every dab with an unclean
cloth or sponge is a menace to her skin.
In fact. so difficult is It to clean sponges
properly, that 1 would advise every girl
to use wash cloths instead. II she has
from six to a dozen; of them in commis-
sion. and sees that they are boiled with
ammonia when washed. and regularly

IL not the last one, toward a pretty COM

denies the growing girl any artificial aid
to beauty, she must look almost entirely
to her own wisdom for her beauty hints.
She must bathe regularly, exercise in the

Children's Dress.

There was a day when children dressed
just like their elders. Look at the chill
dren Of Velasquez. The small boys wear
velvet coats and trunks. satin waistcoats,
lace frills at the hands. swords at tho
side, and stockings. cravats and shoei
which are exact replicas Of those Of their
fathers. The small maidens are as much
powdered and puffed, padded and laced
as their mamas.
The idea of dressing children in differ-
ent fashion from their elders seems te
be an outgrowth Of modern civilization.
Even the little Greek and Roman lads
and maidens wore the tunic-like garments
of their parents.
Today there is an interesting situation
in the world of little girls frocks. Sim
plicfty reigns over this world; yet the
clothes of the little girls bear an almost

Let US begin. as our grandmothers did,
with the care of the skin-the warm,
soothing bath, and night and morning
rub. In a most wonderful book on the
health OF young girls arrived at that crit
icaI period between childhood and wom-
anhood, so much stress is laid upon the
cleanIy care and friction of the skin
that it is almost terrifying to think OF
its Importance.
According TO this book, and many sci
entific ones on the same sujcct, the most
vivid impressions of life come with adol-
escence. and il is through the skin that
they are largely received: so it stands to
reason that the skin must be kept in
good working order for these impressions
to be of the healthful and ennobling ma
ture that contributes to beauty. Without
the wholesome bath. taken every day or
at least every other day, without the
friction and fresh air needed, the skin is
sluggish and the girl inclines to head
aches and hysteria. Even her digestive
and allied systems refuse to work as they
should, and along with everything else
the girl has taken on bad hygenic habits
which may last all her life, for there is
nothing SO permanent as a habit, good
or bad.
The first thing to be done. then, is to
teach the mind that an all-over every
Gay DaIn IS as necessary IOT BOOO looks
as 1t is for health. But as soon as
the bath habit is caught, it will seem as
much Of a luxury as a necessity, and
there are a dozen and one ways of max
ing it attractive so that it will seem posi-
tive fun to get in the tub. One of the
most cleansing baths, and one which
could be taken with benefit at least once
n Eeek, is made by softening the water
zirh half a cupfuI of washing soda. II
the skin is very tender. half of this GUAM
tity might be used. Or bicarbonate Of
soda, which is less biting, could be used
instead; or there could be a bran bag. or
one of oatmeal, and an occasion bath"
with sea salt.
The soda baths will open clogged pores
and free the skin OF the dead cuticle as
il by magic, and, as with the bran and
oatmeal baths, 1t leaves the skin as soft
as satin. Five cents worth of washing
soda will make from six to ten baths
according to the quantity used: and after
this excellent soak the vitality OF the
skin will receive a new impetus IL a rough
towel or a good flesh brush is used for
the rundown.
Where it is impossible to have the tub
bath, an aIl-over sponge bath should be
taken with tepid water. This may be
