SHOES AND GLOVES.

Women are learning to be careful of gloves these days. One may not pick up a pair of white kid dress gloves for a song, and even the price of dry cleaning has gone up. The best way this year is to purchase sev- eral pairs of really good gloves and make them give the best service by taking infinite care of them, repairing the least rip instantly, by smoothing the gloves out flat and never rolling them into wad, by protecting them from wet on rainy days and by having them cleaned before they get so soiled that hard rubbing is necessary. Shoes also will receive extra care and at- tention this year. Every pair will be neatly treed while not in use, oil will be rubbed into the leather to keep it soft and pliable and shoes will be exchanged for slippers the moment one comes into the house. The heavy laced sport shoes for rough weater will will stand much hard usage, but dainty buttoned boots for formal wear should be carefully protected I by rubers when pavements are damp r A well cared for shoe will last | longer and look better while it lasts than one that is treated without the respect footwear should have these days of high prices.

NEEDING

Tn taking out weeds from the rows if is absolutely necessary to get roots and all! Merely breaking weed OH at the surface, either with fingers or hoe. means that it will sprout again and be much more difficult to get the better of the second time than the first.
 Weeds of any size that are pulled or boed out should be raked up clean and removed. If left where they lie they will be in the way for the next cultivation, c1ogging up the tools and causing poor work. In wet weather they may root again and then they will be much more difficult to control than at first. Re-rooted weeds are
 inst ss rugged and hard to kill as
 transplanted plants because instead of A single long "tap-root'' they have a fiberous mat of small roots which holds the soil and moisture and makes it next to impossible to destroy them Some weeds, such as purslane or 'pus' | lev will grow from every piece that if left on the ground. Others will go tc l seed after they have been pulled up
 For all these reasons it is most i'm | portant to get all weeds when small and to get them not only out of the | rows, but out of the garden altogether

 To relieve them of the particles of dust that adhere to them it is neces- sary to give the skin delicate rub ping with the finger tips, fabricated by some good cream. In this way the pores are gently pressed open and cleansed. It is absolutely essential for the city woman especially to give reg ular attention to this process, for it is impossible to avoid dust and grime in our city streets and only a thorough cleansing process will keep the skin clean and clear.
 Some women object to the frequent use of cold cream on the ground that | ''it grows hair" It is true that cold cream with a vaseline base may en- | courage the growth of hair, for vase | line, as is generally known, is excel l lent for this purpose. However, there are dozens of excellent cold creams on
 the market that do not contain vase
 line, and which can be used regularly
 However, if you prefer, you can make your own cold cream at home with little trouble.

Vegetables termed fancy are bring ing top notch prices. Locally grown cabbages and beans are coming in in increasing quantities daily but are still commanding high price. The con- tinuation of the cold, wet weather is also an important factor in the con- tinuation of high prices. Nice cauli- flower cost retailers $1.5o a bushel crate containing about a dozen and 2 half heads or about Sc. a head.
 Peaches are becoming more popu- lar and are selling quite reasonable. Varieties such as the delicious Belle of Georgia" and 'Hi1ey's Belle," are the most common ones handled. Both are nice colored white peach, prac- ticaIly free from stone and very good favored peach. Some Carmans are also on the market. Strawber- ries, getting scarcer every day sold very readily at s725-s9. a crate of 32 quarts or about 23-2Sc. to the re- taller.

THIS GETS THE FLIES.

There is a certain and simple way, however, to get flies without fail. On a plate or saucer, mix 10 parts of formaidehyde in 90 parts of water and two parts of sugar. Place a sponge in the solution to retard evaporation. This mixture will at tract flies, which die almost imme- diateIy upon drinking it. Renew the mixture every few days and your house will be kept free from flies in a highly satisfactory manner. Simple and very cheap.

 Oriental Orange Cream.
 4 ounces oil of sweet almonds
 drams of white wax
 drams of spermaceti
 2 drams of borax
 112 ounces of glycerine
 Is drops oil of neroli
 Is drops oil of orange skin. Melt the oil of sweet almonds, the wax and the spermaceti, and add to it the orange flower water. Dissolve the borax in the mixture, and then pour it slowly into the blended fats, stirring constantly.
 When applying cream to your face be sure to run the skin upward and outward with rotary motion, and rub very gently. Don't hold the muscles of the face rigid or in any unnatural position. Let your face relax into a natural expression, and try to remain 1 in a restful position. I have seen women at their dressing tables hurriedly rubbing cream into their faces, but they were so tense and so nervous that the operation was a task and starin instead of a pleas ant operation, as relaxing as a warm bath.
 There is much to be said about the creaming habit as beneficial relaxa- ton for the muscles of the face as well as a cleanser for the surface skin, but if you don't relax and rest during the process you aren't obtaining even half the benefit you should.
