Tells of Pleasant Experieuce

I am pleasing myself immensely by drawing from the back of drawer crammed with good things of the same sort which cannot bear to burn, what I call specimen artice Of our work and methods. The writer in her modest esti- mate of her thoughts and deeds never dreamed that her pretty narrative would be seen by other eyes than mine. Ii is like water from Films spring to my soul. believe other readers will be refreshed and strengthened by it.
 While l am writing, l want to tell of the pleasant experience l have had through replying to a request for silk pieces. You sent me the name and ad- dress, and I forwarded the lady a large package. In it was a small pin cushion which she has accepted as a gift. At Christmas I sent her a card and handker- chief and she wrote me grateful let ter. In the early spring I received little box of beautiful trailing arbutus. which was most welcome harbnger of things to come. This year 1 again sent her card and handkerchief and received a gracious reply. We are in this world to help each other and the Corner cer- tainly opens the way for us to do much if we will. I am glad to help little "E. T. w."

creams for the face, as there is a smooth ress and a richness given by the hand made process that the machine is power less to impart.
 My new cream which I've called The Tango is a preparation that has never been on the market before. It is used
 to whiten the skin by immediate use. Other creams cleanse, but they do not
 bleach the skin as my Tango Cream
 does," said Mrs. Dennerle. Tt also
 makes the skin as smooth as satin. Ii
 softens 1t and is absolutely harmless. In
 fact, it is the most original and effective
 cream that I have ever seen and
 strongly recommend it"
 Tn perfumes the newest thing 1 have is The Cluster which is the most de licious odor that I have ever seen" Mrs Dennerle said. And right here let me say in regard to perfumes, the greatest care should be exercised in the selection of them. Many ladies use perfume freely on their face and hands, and unless it is
 made of the best ingredients it is apt tc irritate the skin and spoil the complex ion.''
 Tt seems to me that nothing so much as toilette articles demands attention
 when it comes to purity and good qual- ity," I observed.
 All toilette articles whether fact powder, perfume, cold creams or hail tonics should be selected with the great
 est care, was the reply. Many widely | advertised hair tonics and perfumes con- | tain large per cent of wood alcohol. l know of one hair tonic that contains over g per cent of wood alcohol. Think of 8 poisonous substance like that being used I in hair tonic or toilette water and applied l to the skin, afterward being absorbed into 1 the system. It feels deliciously refresh. l ing to the scalp or face when applied tc l it, but it is very injurious in more ways l than one. Particularly is it injurious tC 1 the eyes in many cases, blindness being caused by the use of wood alcohol.'
 ''Why do the manufacturers use it il ! 1t is so poisonous?" I asked. l Mainly because it is cheap said Mrs Dennerle. "Of course, by using 1t toi | let articles can be put on the market a | lower prices. but nobody ever gained any l thing by using cheap toilette articles
 More than in anything else 1 can thinl of, cheapness in this line is most repre- hensible. The most expensive is in ih
 end the cheapest because it is the leas injurious"
