Travelling Helps

The average woman looks like a wreck
when she gets off the train after a long
journey. 1t is because she doesn't know
the proper way to travel the little first
aids" that every woman traveller observes
are as a closed book to her. There are
many small toilet articles that help to do
away with the traces of travel, but the
best way TO keep from looking bedraggled
Is to to it that the circumstances that
cause the bedragglement are done away
with. Here are some rules, made up by
Madame Bertha Kalich, who has Travelled
thousands of miles in her time and who has
the reputation of always looking as trim
and neat as when she sits in her own
boudoir.
/. Never start out on trip with oily;
unwashed hair. 1t acts as a magnet for
clnders and soft coal dust. Have your
hair shampo0d three days before you start,
so that it is clean but manageable
. If you have never worn hair net
before, wear one when you start out on
Journey. 1t is very much more successful
than invisible hairpns to keep in loose ends
and II can be removed just before you
arrive at your destination.
3. Do not rely on soap and water to
cleanse the CRIME from your face and neck.
Have small squares of old, soft linen rags
or bits of cheesecloth and generous jar
of some good cold cream. Use this at least
three times a day so that the SCOT won't
have a CnanCe 10 loube III TIC pSiSS anu
enlarge them.
A. Powder is a wonderful aid to ttdlness-
both talcum and face powder, 1t Is cooling
and takes away the shiny, greasy look that
Is the most damaging blemish of all, Don't
be afraid To use powder in quantities Be
as lavish with it as your mother was when
you were tiny infant
g. Have all your toilet articles in one
convenient receptacle so that they will be
easy to carry out to the washroom. II
you have to hunt through suitcase full of
clothes for them the fixing up" will most
likely not be done.
g. Do not wear cloth suits on train.
II there is a vestlge of a stain on them
the train dust will bring 1t out. Dark
colored silks made simply, without high
collars. or much trimming are the most
comfortable and most serviceable of all
travelling costumes.
4 Last but not least, make 1t a point TO
close your eyes for a part Of the day, even
If 1t is not possible for you TO sleep. 1t
relieves eye strain and prevents the
wretched headaches that SO many women
suffer from on long journeys.

Cleaning n Straw Hat

"a Cornerite asks how to remove the
dusty appearance Of rose and black hemp
straw hat. I have several suggestions to
make: have always cleaned and pressed
my hats and satisfactorily. First. brush
the hat thoroughly and rub 1t with dry salt
all over When the salt has dusty ap-
pearance use fresh supply. To press the
brim of n hat lay damp cloth on the brim
and press 1t with hot iron. Do not let
tho iron remain upon the hat. as 1t will
make an impression. To clean velvet no
matter how delicate the shade, use benzne
First, brush the dust from the velvet and
then apply benzlne with a soft clean cloth
As soon as the cloth soils use a fresh piece
To press velvet, hold the hot iron upside
down firmly, spread wet cloth over 1t and
pass the wrong side of the velvet back and
forth on the face of the iron. AS soon as
the cloth dries dampcn again. as 1t is the
rising steam that takes the creases out of
the velvet. While passing the velvet over
the iron brush with n soft brush taking
care not to damage the nap. To remove ink
spots from velvet and wool carpets, also
rugs. apply fresh milk, first having removed
the cream After the second or third appli-
cation the spot will have disappeared. May
the good work of your Corner continue!

Ice for the Skin

Not entirely new, perhaps, but at least
comparatively recent, is the idea of ice
and cold water instead of steam and hot
water for the complexion. But at all
events 1t is one of the theories put forth
by present-day specialists, and It is worth
needing.
Years ago. the Victorian beauties, who
were noted for their pale listlessness were
wont TO smuggle bit of ice up to their
noudolrs' with which to rub their lips to
something like modern ruddness And
many an up-to-date miss depends upon this
last tap of Ice to her soft cheeks to give
them roses that nature forgot to endow her
with
The idea of the beauty specialists TODAY
is this: hot water may be good to omen
the pores and to take the dust and dirt
out of them, but 1t keeps them open, thus
causing enlarged pores, Every one knows
that steam-1alias hot water-does open the
pores so the rest of the conclusion is taken
on its face value.
These same experts offer a solution of
the problem. use warm water and plenty
Of bland SOAP" they say Then rinse the
skin with warm water and gradually change
to cold until the very coolest water that
runs from the faucet is used Then comes
the ice treatment Wrap piece OF ice In
cloth and rub 1t over the skin several
times This makes the skin finer closes
the pores completely, and brings the blood
to the surface of the skin, giving the rosy
blush that is the despair and the ambition
of every woman.
Cold cream is good for removing dust
and dirt from the face, but II there is an
inclination toward oilIness in the skin IL
had best be sparingly used.
Cold cream should be rubbed on any skin
that Is destined to undergo the Ice treat.
ment. But the oily skin should be treated
with an astringent lotion to further the
work Of closing the pores and giving the
skin a fine, silky texture.
The merits OF the ice treatment are such
that every woman has to try 1t for herself,
but one woman declares it's the only REM
edy against headaches-she takes her treat
nent not only as beauty stunt" but as
a headache remedy as well.

Pineapple Dishes

There is no more delicious warm-weather
fruit than the pineapple. Fruits are well
come change at apy time, but particularly
so after the heavy meats and highly sea-
soned sauces of the winter. Then the pine
apple has a great many medicinal qualities
that make It invaluable. Children love 1t,
and It is one Of the best things that they
can eat for their general system, and for
digestion, because of its pepsin-like quail

come from Cuba, Porto Rico and Florida
and some from Hawaii. II Is n good idea
to watch the market, and choose the fruit

and buy enough to last,
The best way to cut pineapple Is to
remove the crown or blossom part, then
cut through the fruit from top to STEM
Divide into quarters Remove the core !;
then cut into cubes or shred.
Pineapple shortcake is good. Use two
cupfuls of sfted flour, into which you have
put four teaspoonfuls OF baking powder and
a teaspoonful of salt Add n tablespoon
full of lard and two tablespoonfuls of
butter; chop until the shortening is quite
fine Now add cupfu of milk (scant) !;
beat thoroughly and bake in n large bis

by quickly drawing a clean white thread
across the top between the top and the
bottom Butter each side well, add pow

shredded fresh or canned pineapple {;
sprinkle again with powdered sugar Put
whipped cream over the top; garnish with
slices of orange.
Pineapple toast is a novel recipe. Cut
slices of old sponge cake half-inch thick.
Shape them round or diamond to give

with sugar and brown lightly in the oven.
Cool, then pour chopped pineapple and
