u physician of the neurasthenic
4 \ patient
Certainly not replied the young N. p.
with dignity.
"Then fall in love with somebody at
once" said the physician with the same
professional air with which he prescribes
diet of olive oil and modified milk, or
suggests open air walks in the country
as part of the curative process of restor-
ing worn-out nerves.
When the n. P. positively and decidedly,
not to say obstinately and stubbornly re-
fuses to follow this part of the physician 8
directions, he offers substitute.
IF you don't care about a happy and
bright little affaire de coeur.' said he,
then take up some sort of fad. There is
nothing so soothing to ones nerves as an
absorbing interest in something. 1t may
be a love affair; it must be something.
A hobby, il you WILL but something, any
thing.
Wherefore
Granting, according to the eminent
physician that a hobby is necessary in
the majority of cases, if woman would
be well, and unworried, and radiant with
al. let every woman forthwith adopt one.
The very thought of perhaps of choos-
ing personal fad, a hobby" is rather
startling, to say the least of it.
II don't care for old china, and could
not afford to turn collector If my taste
did run that way" you say. "Uplift work
does not appeal to me when it consists of
doing unto others as l am sure 1 would
never have others do unto me-"
Going in for Auction with youthful
enthusiasm, you continue, seems absui d
at my age If you happen to be one of the
fairest latest, and fortiest of them all
and feeding the birds in the parks is
neither useful nor ornamental. Decipher-
ing eryptograms might be interesting,
but it is rather wearying, don't you think?
So what sort of a hobby would you sug-
gest that rider"
1t is here that the 'busybody' jumps
into the breach and offers the suggestion:
why not lobby for hobby"
Good idea; Why not, indeed?

Care of the Ewes

II am troubled with granulated eyelids,
and am hoping you can advise me what
to do toward getting rid of the same?
READER"
The Corner does not presume to pre-
scribe medicines for any bodily infrmity.
Least of ALL would it NEEDLE with that
exquisitely delicate organ, the eye.
We do, however, give general directions
for the care of the eyes and caution
against the abuse of them. and for the
preservation of the sight.
l venture here a bit of counsel which |
have obeyed with marked and happy re-
suits in the care OF eyes which are serv-
ing me as faithfully now as when they
were young and strong.
When the eyes ache from strain of any
kind, battle them often and freely in pure
water as hot as can be borne comforta bly,.
If they smart and the lids are inf1amed,
add pinch of boracic acid powder to a
cup of hot water and battle them with this
several times during the day-more
abundantly at night and upon rising In
the morning. You may substitute liquid
diluted boracic acid for the powder, il
you can get it. 1t Is harmless and heal

To Mend Cracked China

"Can you tell me how to mend very
fragile china, so that the crack will not
show very much? l am interested in your
Corner and will be grateful for your ad-
vice. A CONSTANT READER"
Frankly, I have no personal knowledge
of any cement for china which Is invisible
and may be warranted to withstand the
action of hot water. l. long ago, gave up
experimenting with advertised prepara-
tons that would make fractured fra
giles as good as new. I have valuable
china riveted by professional workman
when I value 1t too highly to be willing
to throw it away. If it be properly done
1t does not show upon the right side and
serves out a long term of usefulness.
Still. / shall be happy to insert any
formula for mending porcelain for which
our practical housewife is willing to vouch
for the benefit of Constant Reader"
