i want You to make a graphic chart
on your work and see yourself go down
on the paper. You Will find it very
interesting well as most profitable.
Take a piece of fooIscap paper, place
fcrosswise and rule it in one-quarter
Hnch squares as to be able to chart
rs days, or four weeks.

horizontal lines only, and at the top
iieaave two inches of vertical lines only.

bedding. part of Mondays washing
With this might be towels that can
be washed directly after bedding
These things never need any starch,
but they do usually want 70 be boiled
and blued- On Monday you might
also find time for handkerchiefs,w which
could follow the bedding and for fan
nels, which should always be done in
a separate water with special atten-
ton to the soap used.
On Wednesday or Thursday table
linen could go to the wash. Being
linen these things may be made spot
less usually without boiling But
many persons use a suspicion of
starch. Frocks and all colored
clothes could be washed on this day
and they, TOO, may be given a very
little starch.
If you like. however. you may make
your division so that only clothes that
need no ironing. such as fanne1s, I'M
derciothes, wash cloths and bath tow
els should be washed on the rnidweek
washday, while clothes needing iron
ing should be put through on Monday
In time for Tuesdays ironing.

it is evident he tried to do the right
thing.
Dear Mrs. Tt1ompsons have been
keeping company with a young man
for the last five months. We have
both decided we care for each other,
and have become engaged. This
young man goes to dances, not with
another girl, but with young men,
and disapprove, Do you think an
engaged young man should go to
dances without his lady friend? This
is causing a great deal OF trouble and
would appreciate your advising me
whether I am right or wrong. Is

cause at the dances he must take

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a, girl
of seventeen and have been keeping
company with a fellow for six months
who is twenty years of age. When
he was three years old one of his
arms was badly burned and SCARED,
and for that reason my parents are
against my going with him. They
seem to be under the impression that
he is sick fellow on account of his
arm. although 1 am sure that he is
in the best of health, They insist
upon my breaking off with him. What
would you advise me to do? Meet
him on the outside or break off at
once, although I love him and know
that he loves me?
ANXIOUS
The accident might as easily have
happened to a son of your parents,
and would it not be unkind in their
eyes for another mothers daughter
whom he loved to discriminate
against him because of his accident?
There may, however, be some other
reason which you have not disclosed
After all, you are but seventeen and
still should have the guidance of wise
and loving parents.

you may not hae any more attacks of

Another one is a tea made from the

then take it again for three days,

nine days in which the tonic has been

results. If the skin is clear there is
no reason to continue the tonic.
The sulphur mixture is a tonic bee

also true of the herb tea and with all
such purifiers they will thin the

associate with this type of bonnet. .
The draped turban has a place in
the front line, and the new soft hair

this style. So highly polished, how

SOME FRIVOLOUS HINTS

The question as to wether or not
one should use cosmetics Is one that
seems constantly to agitate my wom-
en-, and even my men readers If
cold cream or powder or even a lit
tie rouge will make a woman more
beautiful why on earth shouldn't she
use them? Some people say that it is
unnatural to eat meat, that nature
never intended US to eat each other,
considering animals as being fellow
features. If one carried the theory
of what is according to nature and
what isn't to extremes we shouldn't
wear any clothes.
Clothes are supposed to protect us
and also to decorate u.s. Why
shouldn't a woman, then, use cold
cream which cleanses her skin from
the dirt and smoke that civilization
has added to the city dweIIers' exist
ence. and why shouldn't she use pow
der which covers up the blemishes
that modern artificial existence i'm
parts to her skin
The only thing she must remember
is that these artificial aids to good
looks must not show. If they do
they defeat their own purpose. By
day she should use a powder to matcn
her skin, white or flesh pink if she
has fair skin, brunette if she is dark,
decided flesh if she is sa1low. and the
least bit of rouge if her skin is pale
enough to need it,
At night she can, If she wishes to
give her skin a delicate transparency,
use a very little bit of lavender pow
der. But this is dangerous stuff to
play with, only a very little should be
used on the skin and most of it
should be wiped off with a soft
chamois. Under artificial light it
gives a peculiar delicacy to the skin.
but under daylight it is quite awful.

Laundry Suggestions

Laundry Suggestions

Doubtless there are many house
holds where two Mondays a week
would be an advantage. Possibly you
might call this arrangement a week
with two half Mondays.
The woman who has had 70 assume
the burden of doing her own washing
or assisting with It finds this a good
arrangement, and 1t is much easier 10

work than four hours once a week.
Then IN families where there are small

cleanliness to wash more often than
once n week.

Gilbert and Sullivan.

Sir William Sehwenk Gilbert and Sir
Arthur Seymour sullivan, the writer's of
The Mikado. were two Englishmen. very
famous for their comic operas in the lat
ter part of the 18th century.
Mr.. Sullivan, of Irish descent. won the
Mendelssohn scholarship when lie was but
II years of age. and went to Germany TO
study in the Leipzig conservatory. He is
held in high reputc for his operas, many of
which are real gems. Sullivan's music is
lyric in quality and he is especially orig
inal in his melody and very fluent. His
early training in church music left its inn
print on his sacred compositions. also on
his Operettas. One Of his best-knowu sa-
cred works i The Lost Chord
Mr.. Gilbert was a we'll known English
dramatist. whose lines are considered
very clever. comic lines 1t is probable
that in the future Gibcrt's lines may
stand out to be az standard as those of
Shakespeare. already they have stood
the test of two decades and are stiIl a.
good as when they were written
In 1871 they began their work together
Their most famous operas are: H. NJ =
Pinafore. The Pirates of Pcnzancp. Pa
tience The Gondnlicrs. and The NIikado.
Both were knighted by the English
crown.
