A SOLDIERS BUTTON.

She wears soldiers button
Pinned somewhere near her heart,
Ard shows to all and sundry
she owns little part
OF a soldier who's upsettlng
The Kaiser's apple-cart
She wears soldiers button,
And feels she's bravely decked
A certain pride of bearing
It's easy to detect,
She's got a man in khaki,
And she holds her head erect.
She wears a soldiers button
There's virtue In the whlm;
1t keeps her strong and patient
When days are dark and grim.
She wears her soldiers button,
And she fights along with him.
From Simple Rhymes for Stirring Times

No Trouble to Keep
Skin Free From Hairs
{The Modern Beauty.l

There is no need for any woman to
countenance superfiuous hairs, because
with a paste made by mixing some pow
dered delatone with water it is easy to
get rid of them. The paste is applied for
two or three minutes, then rubbed off and
the skin washed This treatment will
rid the skin of hair without leaving a
blemish, but care should be taken to
see that you get real delatone.
