Thoughts Sculpture Your Face

When Richard Mansfield wa once asked to name the greatest mys
terry in life and his interrogation expected the customary answer "death,'
the eminent actor promptly replied, "The human face-see q face once
and you a find 1t among millions 1t is the doorpate Of individual
ity."
The face Is the mirror of moods. It is the echo Of the heart No
sculptural power Of the mind to mould it.
Faces Ire as leg1ble as books Behind each Is a story of expressed.
suppressed or latent power and romance. In every human countenance
lies a history IT q prophecy.
The face is the gate through which children and dogs find gentle
and generous souls. Sad hearts will drift to a serene face a 8 a flower
leans toward the warm sun.
Birth gives us the unmarked outline of a face which it is the mission
of life to fill in for US. The faculty that raises us as human beings
is the faculty Of choice. 1t is by the way W choose to choose that
we make IF mar our faces and our souls.
The soul is the exacting tyrant Of the face. She makes it to suit
herself and to reflect her slightest whim. Should the soul be suIen
she at once moulds the features to tell her mood.
The soul writes upon the face what she chooses. When weary OF
being housed in the body the soul takes flight but leaves her indeibIe
record on the face.
1t is common practice to yearn for our departed youth. Youth is
but becoming crudity. Honored is the soul that early chooses to
choose the art of conduct that leaves the least regret and little wish
ing that st might have been"
In the finest sense the noblest use of life is s Ruskin would say,
to picture 1.-THE good, the true and the beautiful on your face.

eolsruB and paste 81 IN yosy rseips book.
Powder PuHs.-A soiied powder
puff does not need to be thrown
away, as many believe. Instead, just
use a little soap with luke warm
water and after rinsing thoroughly
hang up to dry. The puff will be
good as new and may be used for a
long while.
Custard Pie.-If one wishes to
have custard pie a nice even brown,
sprinkle a little sugar over the top
before putting in the oven.
Beating Rugs.-A rug may be
beaten twice as easily and thor
oughly if placed on a pair of old
springs face down. Then turn over
and sweep.
Shoes.-When putting shoes away
for next summer, stuff them full of
tissue paper or cotton batting.
Oil Stove.-If an oil stove smells.
drop a small piece of gum camphor
into the tank.
Beads.-If you have some large
heavy beads that must be strung,
try violin strings, they stand a lot
of strain.
Repairing Wall Paper. = When
next you would repair wall papers.
instead of cutting a square piece
just to fit the place, tear an irregular
piece and put it on the wall, being
careful to match all lines and fig
ures. The irregularity of the line
forms a camouhage which the eye
can scarcely detect.
Coffee Stains.-Cofee stains are
not easily removed unless done so
at once. Boiling water will remove
them if the coffee has not had time
TO become thoroughly absorbed.
But if it is an old stain, use equal
parts of yoke of egg and ~gylcerine.
This applied to the spot is almost
the only method Of removing them.
Oil Cloth.-Oil cloth may be kept
from breaking at the corners over a
table If you paste heavy muslin or
pieces of adhesive cloth on the
wrong side where the corners of the
table come.
Eyebrows. Petroleum jelly Is
good for making the eyebrows grow.
When applying let the finger follow
the line of the growth Of hair.
