WHEN YOU MAKE TEA.

If allowed to stand steaming for long, tea is nothing short of poison. for then it is converted into a con centrated extract of tannin, which has a most irritating effect on the wall of the stomach. producing a secretion of acid liquid. causing heartburn and perhaps injuring the delicate mucous membrane to the point of alteration.
 There is also another deleterious substance present in tea called thein, and this has a specially pernicious influence on the nervous system when taken in excess. If tea Is drunk within a few minutes of being made, there Is just enough of this alkaloid to produce a pleasant. re- freshing effect without any harm be- ing done. Yet even when prepared in this way. but taken too frequently, the accumulated effect of repeated doses is as injurious as a large one. causing nervous irritability and sleeplessness.

A LINEN SHOWER.

A linen shower given recently Outside showed the girlish spiri; that prompted the prettily arranged affair. It was quite secret. too, and was planned at the home of one of the promoters.
 When the bride-elect arrived. ono of the young women tied pretty little sunbonnet on her head. and the other guests very solemnly pre- scented her with & willow clothes basket. The presentation speech was of a fun provoking nature, full of the great responsibilities of wash day. and. most impressive of all. what to do when the laundress fails to arrive
 Solemnly and in very ladylikc manner each one then stepped for ward and presented a cake of laundry soap. Then the parlor door was opened and there upon clothes line hung an array of linen pieces such as would delight the heart of any young woman about to enter upon her home duties. The articles were all pinned onto the line with decorated clothes pins.

EYES AND EYEBROWS.

 The eyebrows are most valuable in giving character to the face, and 1t Is very important that they should ed as possible.
 If your eyebrows are thin and them by rubbing a little vaseline into them at night and brushing them carefully every morning with small brush. When you have continued this treatment for a cou- pie of months you will find your eyebrows are twice the thickness that they used to be, and several shades darker In color. If your eyebrows are too thick face, you should lay one finger on each side of each brow, beginning in the middle, and draw the fingers gently along in the line that you wish the brows to follow towards the corners of the eyes. Do this whenever you happen to think of 1t. and, after a while you will find that your brows begin to shape down into the lines which you have traced. instead of being spread about like"
 A little vaseline also helps the eye-lashes to grow though they do not respond to treatment quite so readily. If your eyelids are red and little swollen it is probably a sign that you are not getting enough sleep, or that your bed Is In a wrong position-a most important point which people do not always understand
 Whenever possible the back of the bed should be towards the win dow. in order to screen the face from the light. If this Is not possi- ble it should stand sideways, not facing as glare and light on the eyes is extremely bad both for them and for the whole face.
 The sleeper may be used to the glare, and may not take any con scious notice of it, but all the same she screws up her eyes i'll her sleep, so that they get wrinkles round them before their time; and she makes ugly, unconscious grim aces in her efforts to shelter her eyes from the light. These grimaces after time get printed on the face and spoil the expression.
 Never rub the eyes, especially when you wake in the mornings. It is very bad plan, for 1t reddens the eyelids and tends to spoil the eyes. Keep your fingers off them altogether.
 If the eyes are at all "sleepy"- that is to say. If they have little yellow crusts about their rims you must wash them with boracic acid lotion. using an eyeglass so that the lotion may work right into the corners.

FOR PRETTY ARMS.

. . c (, c t1 {, to (, q . :, (, z, ..., :.
 Many women with shapely shoul- ders and wcll rounded upper arms are distressed by sharp elbows and scrawny forearms; but they need not despair. The most finely round ed arm and elbow and the shapeliest hand appear ugly in certain poses you may observe. If, then, you would have pretty arms and elbows, train them to graceful poses, rememberine that curves in themselves suggest grace. Cse your mirror in practice
 Wrists can hardly be too slender. tut in many instances they are joined to the hand very much as the average handle joins the object to which 1t belongs. instead of in be minimized, if not wholly reme- died, by frequent pressing of the sides of the hand together over the palm with the other hand Also clench the fist and twist the wrist strenuously first one way and then the other, as far as you can.
 Massage will help to fill in hol- lows and to round out wrists that are too thin and flat to be lovely. Hold an arm in the palm of the hand and move the thumb along the flesh with rotary motion. For exercise turn the arms at the el- bows vigorously, first in. then out; and, using the elbow as a hinge, lift the hand as though it were a heavy weight
 Massage also must be used to help in building flesh around the bones and joints of the elbow
 The skin of the elbow, which should be as soft and as white as possible, is apt to be neglected and become rough. In such case pumice stone will be needed. When the skin is back in condition, generous use of soap. water, and a fresh brush will keep it so; but don't neglect It.
 An excellent preparation for whit ening the arms and hands is Quince lotion, made by simmering drachms of crushed Quince seed in pint of water and straining Rub In as you would glycerine.

FLAT CHEST REMEDY.

q q . . q to q q tJ q . q . ', (, .
 The only excuse for a flat chest, " declares Elizabeth Amsden, soprano of the Century Opera company, "is ignorance and laziness, for the con. dition can be prevented or cured by a simple. natural process of correct carriage of the body and deep breath ing.
 Tt Is moro often the case that weak and hollow chests are the re- suit of slumDing shoulders than that slumping shoulders result from weak lungs. However, if the lungs are inclined to Weakness, the first step toward strengthening them is to give them more space, to expand them, which, incidentally. correct carriage of the body brings about"
 Following are exercises which Miss Amsden having tested personally suggests as best calculated to make the "correct carriage" habitual:
 l. Stand erect, bring the fists to the shoulders till they form a straight line with the back, at the same time taking a deep breath.
 9 Hold while inhaling and exhal ing three times rhythmically
 g. Inhale slowly, the fists still at the shoulders, then while exhal- ing vigorously, force the elbows to touch the sides at the waist.
 f. Inhale. and as slowly and wig orously raise the elbows into line with the shoulders and lower them back again. Repeat three times
 Again:
 l. Rise high on the toes, inhal- ing deeply. Hold both breath and position through six counts, then slowly exhale as you descend.
 2. Describe as wide a circle as possible with the shoulders, the arms hanging limp.
 It may help to keep the chest up and out to imagine carrying a yoke across the shoulders, as the farmer does, a pail of milk hung from either side.
 But even full chest may have the contour disturbed by little hol- lows. To fil! these out massage with cocoa butter, and batting the flesh with the fingers dipped in cold wa ter will hasten results. An excellent substitute for the cocoa butter Is made by melting thirty grams of lanoline with two grams of oil of sweet almonds in a double boiler, stirring all the while, and then as the mixture cools stirring in half a gram of tannin.

People don't like me"

People don't like me-
 There are many very worthy wo- men who make this remark, some with perplexity. others with sur prise, and third class with quite an air of pride.
 People who wonder at the dislike they inspire are usually the dear souls who seem never to have pos sessed any tact or else to have lost it long ago. Perhaps you are telling how your daughter who Is consid- cred a clever girl, has failed in an examination The tactless one smiles sweetly. ignores the severity of the test end the fact that the girl Is full young for 1t, and says. with a shake of the head. I never place my daughters on a pedestal" And then she wonders why you dis like her.
 Then there are the warriors, who are always ready to fight and dispute anything that is said. If you say that Mrs. A. looks particu- larly well this morning the war rior'' is certain to retort that she wonders you never noticed how red Mrs. As nose was from indiges- tion. of course. You can't say d word without being snapped up and contradicted. and naturally this does not make for friendship.

Miss Allison has very important and highly dramatic part, as does Will liam Stowell, who essays the heavy characterization, an army surgeon who places a young and innocent girl in a compromising position, and who in reality, is a human bug zard.' although the shadow of the buzzard of the air Is the inspiration for the title.
