Reasonable prices ar | promised and the housewives shoul | prepare to take advantage of the ne1 opportunity to can some more peach es at a very reasonable figure.

Correct Habits of Mind
 and Body Best Beauty Aids
By LucreZia BOri
tThe Famous Spanish Prima Donna.l

angry you get, don't clench your fist nor wrinkle your forehead. Instead, exert your will and smile, compel your muscles to relax. Not only will you thereby prevent the wrinkles of worry to pencil lines around mouth and forehead, but the very effort of smiling will minimize your anger and cause you less nervous disturbance.
 When a particular feature discloses some disfgurement then external and local treatments are usually helpful. But when good looks proceed to depart in a body, then local treatments will only help slightly. You must get down to some deepr underlying cause.
 If it is worry, then you must eradi- cate the worry habit. Solve your diff faculties with your mind as best you can. Don't fret over them, for fret ting will not aid you, and it will cer- tainly leave it's marks on your fea- lures and physique.
 Sometimes a serious physical ail- ment affects the entire constitutions and if you will consult your physician and follow regular course of treat ment your good looks will return with returning good health.
 Chief among the causes of lost good looks is lack of exercise. The baby'S good looks may persist until early maturity in spite of sedentary habits, too rich or poorly selected food and late hours. But all these evils bring their consequences, and in many cases at a very early age. Develop Correct Habits. Examine your present habits. How much outdoor exercise do you get each day? Do you drink two quarts of water each day? Do you sleep in well ventilated room? Are you fond of too much sweets? These | things represent habits, and the things you do habitually to your body each day will sooner or later mar beauty.
 The younger you are the easier it is for you to develop correct habits Drink plenty of water make a hobby of some outdoor game that exercises | all your muscles and compels deep breathing. Eat sparingly of the right l foods, rightly balanced. This is the best beginning program for restoring l good looks.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Alcohol will remove grass stains.
 Extract of vanilla loses strength if exposed to the light.
 Vinegar and water in equal parts will clean fly specks from furniture.
 When canning peaches pour hot water over them, three or four quarts at a time, and skins will slip off.
 When anything is too salty it can be counteracted by using a tablespoon of vinegar and one of sugar.
 Rub the inside of the spout of the cream pitcher with a little butter to prevent the cream from dripping.
 When heating milk for bread-mak- ing rub the pan around the edge with butter, and it will never boil over.
 Soap mixed with whitening will stop a gas or water leakage in a pipe un- til it can be properly attended to.

CHEMIST GOWNS

The chemise dress, if present indi- cations count for anything, has come to stay. These new ones for winter hang in severely straight lines from shoulder to hem, and they do not show the additional underskirt with which they were provided last season. Some of them are pleated in fine accordion pleats, and others are pro- vided with extra applied and floating panels at the sides of the skirts. As for the belts, they are mostly made of very thin strips of the material from which the gown is constructed, and they are tied loosely to confine the gown in some semblance of a Waistline.

My eyes are lustreless, my skin is rather yellowish, and even shows blotches frequently, and, strange as it may seem, even my hair seems to have lost its lustre What can do to get my good looks back?"
 Very often such letters reach me sometimes less extreme in their de- pressing tale, and sometimes even eX- ceeding this woeful plaint. Cautiously, also, these letters are not always from women advanced in years. The writer of the above letter tells me she is only 19, and usually the complaints of this sort are from young girls be- tween IS and 22.
 In this case the author touches at the core of her own predicament. Worry will make more depredations on good looks than any other one thing. Yes, even the hair will lose it's lustre, for lustrous hair proceeds from healthy scalp. fed by active glands and good circulation. If you worry, your entire constitution is affected. The depressed person is recognizable by yelled, lustreless eyes, sagging mouth, struggling coiffure.
 Treatment Through the Mind.
 These things cannot be cured by ex- ternal beauty lotions only. Not even a physician can prescribe a compound, for the only way to treat disfigure- ments that proceed from worry is through the mind. Some years ago there appeared a book in which was given the advice that to eradicate worry, the best way is to adopt the at titudes and expressions that spell con- tent.
 In other words, no matter how

JULIANA BERNERS.

Juliana Berners, a sister of Rich ard, Lord Berners, is supposed to have been born about 1888, and was a native of Essex. She was prioress of Sopewell nunnery, and wrote ''The Boke of Hawking and Huntyng." which was one of the first books ever printed in England. She is said to have been beautiful and fond of all active exercises. She lived to an ad- vanced age and was highly respected and admired. The indelicacies that are found in her book must be imput- ed to the barbarisrn of the times 1T which she lived.

A PRE-AUTUMN AFTERNOON
 GOWN

Black satin combined with light or gandie is one of the most popular of the pre-autumn styles. The gown here illustrated is elaborate, suitable for even a formal afternoon occasion. It is of black satin charmeuse, and the skirt is full and heavily draped on one side to fall in a long, graceful fold from the hipline. A pale flesh colored organdie is used for the round chemisette, and pale flesh-col- ored organdie also is used for the cuffs which fasten with fine pearl buttons. At the shoulder and cuffs black brocade ribbon is fastened, end ing with a tiny loop. A broader sash of the same kind of black vel vet brocade gives a graceful line to the waist and skirt.

HARD SOAP.

One can lye dissolved in 1 1-2 pints cold water, 1-2 pounds grease. Pour the lye into the grease and stir till it gets as thick as honey. The grease must be just warm enough when mix ed. The lye must be a little cooler than the grease. Cut up next day. I generally stir my soap five minutes. I use any sort of grease-goose grease and mutton fat, also the ends of can dies and paraffin that comes off the top of jelly. I melt the grease, strain it, let get cold enough, then weigh. ] always have good soap.

DIRECTIONS FOR SPLICING YARN

Knit until you have only inches of yarn left on sock. Draw IA inch through a large-eyed needle 2 inches long, and insert same in yarn on ball, starting IA inch from the end. Work through center of yarn length of needle, pull out leaving the IA inch loose. Do not knit these loose ends but leave them on the inside of sock. The double yarn will knit stitches. There is no danger of the yarn pulling out while knitting. With these ends the stitches can be drawn tight and smooth and no ends working through on right side and no yarn wasted.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-09-06
SEMT-DRESS

The evening gown has changed un- til there are only a lev of the full dress gowns remaining. It is because full dress occasions gre becoming more rare. However, this has served to bring into greater prominence the dinner gown, and it has been develop ed until better models make their appearance every day. Women are having a chance to wear a totally new type of gown-the semi-dress gown, formal enough to allow a hat to be worn with it.

A PRESERVING HINT

In preparing cling-stone peaches for canning, cut them in halves by cutting around instead of lengthwise and then give each end little twist; the halves will come clear of the stone. Do this before pairing, as after par ing they are too slippery.
