to remember them; to imagine
Jerry sitting beside her in tho

he would wait.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Tender feet can be strengthened in warm water in which is dissolved a tablespoon of salt and one of powdered borax.
 When bathing delicate children add a handful of salt to the water.
 Chilblains, if unbroken, should be rubbed with the inside of an onion dipped in salt.
 To bathe the eyes use a tablespoon of salt to pint of water.
 If you cut piece of the teenail out of the middle of the nail in a v-shape you will find your toenail will draw up out of the sides toward the middle. This gives great relief to people who are troubled with their toenails grow ing into the flesh at the sides.
 To keep hands soft and white, some strained lemon juice with an equal quantity of pure glycerine. Prepare only little at time, as the lemon juice must be fresh. Rub this into the hands night and morning when they are half dried and finish the drying with a very soft towel. Bedtime is the best occasion upon which to consider your beauty, or lack of it, as the case may be. At night you are able to see the result of the days worries and work, and to guard against them accordingly.

KITCHEN IN WINTER.

A window box put on the outside of the kitchen window is great help to the housewife in winter. Even in mild weather this is good place to keep. vegetables and fruit. It often makes it possible for you to get along without ice for months when this would not otherwise be possible. A draughty kitchen is a dangerous thing. In fact, draughts are more dangerous in kitchens than anywhere else in the house, because the high
 temperature that often prevails in kitchens renders those who work there peculiarly susceptible to the effect of draughts.
 It may be that the draug ghts come from cracks in the outside or cellar door, If these are at the bottom, they
 can be remedied by weather strips
 Little felt strips can some times be added to the whole length of, the door that leaves in too much air. Remem- ber, however, that kitchen should be ventilated in cold weather. There is
 a great deal of steam from the cook ing and there should be some way for this to escape. In the kitchen with out ventilation this steam sometimes settles in the wall, so that it loosens l the plaster. A good idea is to keeI ] window just a little bit open at tht top and to aceustom yourself to this providing it does not cause a draught l If you wish, you can buy ventilatol l to put in the open space, so that tht air will not blow directly on any on'
 spot.
 1 A good idea is to have thermonet | CT in the kitchen. This will aid yol l in, an effort to keep the temperatur 1 from rising to too high point.

NERVES AND rHE WoMAN.

The woman with highly strung nerves should take as much rest in tranquil surroundings as she is able, make good meals of wholesome food, and refuse to allow Sher nerves to be tried or set on edge by small and negligible incidents.
 Worry is the, worst enemy of the woman with a nervy temperament. She is inclined to see molehills where none are, and to magnify real mo9ehills into great mountains.
 Any amount of cream, fresh butter and eggs should be included in the nervy woman's diet. A glass of milk in the middle of the morning is to be recommended, while she will benefit if she goes back to the nursery fare of bread and milk and milk puddfngs.
 She should try to eat good break fast, and must not on any account Bisa her lunch. It is the meagre diet in dulged in by many busy women in these days which is so often the be- ginning of nerve trouble.
 A cup of cocoa and a biscuit if ever she feels hungry between meals, and milk and biscuits by her beside at night, are wise precautions. The less tea and coffee drunk the better.
