One need not be afraid of this thorough scrubbing, for long hours of rest in bed prevent any harm coming to the tender skin afterward. When the face is rfnsed well with tepfd water and gently and thorough ly dried with soft towel rub a good cold cream into the open pores. When this has been thoroughly spread over the face and has remained there five or ten minutes, gently wipe it off with a soft cloth, preferably silk. Do not rub the face too dry, for some of the

will develop fine qualities in one. Many of the worlds best workers-in fact, most of tthen-are all people who have known hard knocks.
 We all love heroes, especially the heroes held up before the public gaze, but we all know the brave girl who, uncomplainingly, goes off daily to her hard work. We know that it is she who is keeping roof above her moth er's head and sacrificing many little comforts and pleasures that she may do so. Yza the fact that she is he roine never enters the girls mind. She keeps her shoulder brave1y to the wheel, and somehow finds the world good place after all.
 And all of us know the widow, Strug- giing day in and day out that her two or three children may be clothed and fed. Here is another heroine. The world, in it's swift, onward race, does not recognize heroines like these, but they are doing nobler work than the most efficient nurse on the greatest battlefield in the world.
 Every office, shop and counting room in the world has it's heroes-pa- tient, quiet fighters, gripping with odds
 that sap their strength, mental and physical, yet they stand their ground without a whimper and accept with a fine grace their share of hard knocks.
 Of course, it is very nice to have :. every wish gratihed-to get everything
 we ask for-but it is an undisputed
 fact that what comes without an effort
 or self-sacrifice Is never appreciated
 It usually is the boy or girl who work 7 ed hard to get an education, who knew
 what se1f-sacrifice and hard knocks
 were, that by and by makes the world
 stop moment and take notice of
 them.
 A few knocks now and then are the
 best antidotes in the world for selfish ness. The girl or young woman who
 is constantly petted and waited upon
 by an indulgent mother very seldom appreciates what her parent is doing for her, but let her mother become
 suddenly i'll and the girl be obliged to
 get up an hour earlier to prepare breakfast for week or two, she will 7 begin to realize that her mother is en- titled to some recognition for the hard work she does, and that she (the girl) has heretofore been downright selfish There is certain work allotted tc every one of us. Responsibilities have come to us that we cannot shirk. The ] work and the responsibilities are ours } no one else can handle them. Perhaps ' they have come in the shape of hard knocks, but we must stand our ground and do our best. No one Is perfectly satisfied. It seems to be a ruling o1 l human nature that the human heari will not be satisfied We constantIx : crave for something more. Let a mar

 That man is no exception to a pret- ty general rule, I have since learned. And the business woman is also learn ing that she cannot deny, to the limit of her earning power, the demands of those dependent upon her, whether they are reasonable or not.

"A PLEA FOR
 MERE MAN
BY LUCILLE DAUDET.

IF1Vl USINESS life for women is IES% teaching them one good lA thing" said the midd1e-aged
 woman who holds responsi- ble position in a big firm.
 "Yes, it teaches them to know men and their bad ha'bits," spoke up her married friend. "I've often wished I'd had some business experience before I was married. 1 would either have married differently or not at all. In stead of worrying over an uncertain husband and family of children, might have been independent, like you.''
 "EIndependent? There was tinge of bitterness in the business woman's laugh What notions you protected women have!
 "I was thinking of men when made my first remark" she resumed, 'but not of their bad habits-unless one can call hard work, worry and quick lunches bad habits. I was for living and has somebody else to support, she realizes what the mar rted man is up against.
 Most of the married men I have met are a pretty good sort. They are doing everything in their power to give their families the best in the land. They want their wives and children to
 
 children, and to have good time. know plenty of men whose regular routine is hust1ing out of bed early in the morning (some of them get their own breakfast), hanging to a street car strap all the way to work, hump ing over a desk or hustling in the shop till noon; then a gu1p and swallow for lunch; same program till going home time, then a tired evening with possibly a good dinner, a wife who thinks she isn't getting all she de- serves, and a youngster or so wanting some money for something.
 When I first started to work had an employer that I thought was an exception to the general rule of men He was a good sort of man, but stingy used to pity him. I heard he patron ized the lunch counters, and he was a1- ways seedy looking, though he was paid good salary.
 Later I met his wife-a plump handsome woman, who went to card parties and delighted in shopping tours. She was always well dressed and always having a good time, an6 their children were right up to the minute in everything. It was a family to be proud of, and MT Blank was proud of it, all right. But one day when his personal bills worried him tc desperation, he said to me q was his private stenOgrapher)
 T wish my wife would understand that when she buys a new satin dress or some new folderoI for the house ol some expensive toy for the children or a handsome watchfob for me, whicf she always expects me to be delighted with, that it all comes out of me.

WEAR THE SHORT DRESS

fERI HORT dresses are becoming INH more popular every day. Those LA who first drowned on them
 now admire them and say that they are not only sensible, but be- coming, as well as economical.
 A long dress in the house, on g we'll swept carpet, is all very WeIl-We do not deny it's gracefu1ness- a long dress on the street is an abomination- It is in your own way; 1t is in the way of everybody else. If we hold it ups we look like WasherWOman turned fore part behind, and it draws all our clothes forward in way which would destroy the grace of a NinOn de FEncIos. Everybody behind us can see the lining of the skirt and notice the frayed braid, for braid is always frayed on a long dress, and take Ob- servations on our pettiooat and stock ings and the tops of our boots.
 We have no hands to help ourselves with-one has to hold the huff or parasoI, as the season may be, and the other is employed with the train.
 If we let it drag, either it is trodden off in the course of half an hours promenade, or else six feet of the side walk behind us is not utilized, for the pedestrians must fall back, or plant their feet on that moving mass of ruff fies and fluting and cigar stump6 and silk fringe and street-car straw, and thus win for themselves the unCOn- querabIe hatred of the Wearer; for, al- though we all know that long dresses on the street are nuisance, and that people cannot avoid stepping on thems we are always indignant when they are stepped on.
 With a short dress, a woman has some liberty. She has her hands for free use. She may look round about her without the fear that while she is doing it somebody will put a foot through her two-dollar-a-yard lace, and tramp off with couple of yards of it. She may get out of a street car without looking back to see if she is clear behind, and safe from being dragged along, and perhaps maimec for life.
 She can defy rain and mud. She doesn't have to go round a wisp O. straw lest she take it up on her fringes. She can cross a street with out stepping on her dress and falling down in the mud, for the nearest po- liceman to pick her up, and all tho boys to laugh at and watch to see her do it next time.
 If sho has a pretty foot, she can show it; and if she has a homely foot, everybody knew it before, so there will be nothing lost there.

DRAINING

N HE drudgery of darning and mending will not seem half so EN dreadful if one has the happy
 consciousness of gaining a swaying carriage and erect, figure thereby. Choose a low, straight chair that keeps the feet firmly planted on the floor. Sit back on it so that the end of the spine touches the back of the chair This position throws the shoulders back and the chest up. Hold the work up instead of stopping to it. Thus seated one can sew for hours without fatigue and at the same time the back becomes supple and willow

T O keep in good health it is
 S necessary to have regular N hours for eating and sleeping. Meals should be arranged to be served at the same time each day and there should be no hurrying. Go to bed at set hour and rise regularly. A cold bath is a great aid toward main taining health and beauty, but if it is too great a shock to the system then a tepid bath will do. Do not, how ever, neglect the morning bath. It is a great deal easier, of course. to start taking cold bath in summer than in winter-any way to contract the habit. Do not eat between meals; it is in furious to the complexion and to the general health. Even afternoon tea is not at all good for the average woman or man.

The water should be quite warm and one stays in the bath only a few minutes. Tn Sweden this Is known as the "bride bath" Mas sage the entire body following this bath is beneficial in it's effects.
