To Build a Fire in a Coal Range
Close all the dampers except the oven
dampers; remove the covers from
the top of the stove and brush all

turn over the crate so as to dump
the ashes into the ash pan below.

the corners The stick of wood
should be loosely arranged in order
to allow free passage OF air.
1t is now time to light the fire.
Do this by applying a lighted match
through the bars OF the CRATE to the

Things You'll Like
to Make.
Convenient Slipper Case

A convenient slipper case is much
neater and saves many a fretful moment
when one wants a particular pair Of
slippers. Cut a three e-quarter-yard
square of plain strong material, such
as denim or poplin. Cut Two ten-inch
strips of figured material. cretonne for
instance. having such colors in it as
will go well with the color Of the plain
material. Each strip should be about
one and one-half inches longer than the
square, SO as to allow a slight fullness
for the pockets. Lay the first strip
wrong side up across the square and
twelve and one half inches down from
the top. Stitch the lower edge securely
to the square. Turn it up to the right
side Stitch the other strip to the bot
tom edge. Bind the top edges Of these
strips with ribbon, tape or bias bands
of the plain material. Stitch down the
sides of the strips; at intervals of nine
inches make two rows OF stitching to
form the pockets. Bind this convenient
slipper case on all sides. Finish II with
two brass or enamel rings. FLORA.

Strengthening Cheek Muscles.

If the muscles Of the face are
strong there will be less danger of
sagging cheeks and wrinkles and hol-
lows Therefore every woman who
fears the approach Of wrinkles should
strengthen the muscles of the cheeks
as much as possible
There Is a certain rubbing exercise
which Is we'll recommend for this.
II the skin Is dry. coat it with a little
cold cream before you begin this rub
bing. If IT is very oily. use talcum
powder. This is simply to make the
rubbing easier Hold the hands over
the face with the palms of the hands
that Is, the cushion part of the
hand-against the skin. Then rub
and knead the muscles vigorously
yet not too vigorously. What you
want Is to stimulate the circulation
of the blood and to exercise these
muscles. You do not want to pull
or stretch them.
This kneading. rubbing motion
should be kept up for several min
utes; the hardest part OF each stroke
