The best gift Of nature Is health.
Wealth is conducive to health If prop
erly used, but without health we can
not enjoy existence. 40 enjoy any
thing fully one must have health.
Health is necessary to pleasure; dis
ease means pain. It is not the power
of purchasing a costly dinner that
gives q man satisfaction In eating; a
good appetite is essential TO q pleasant
meal.

Health, the free gift OF kindly
Mother Nature, is in very truth the
most important possession. because
health, the true philosophers stones
which has always lain ready to the
hand OF man, has the power OF turn

This type is really more objection
able than the irritating kind, because
she is not only rude, but shows as we'll

ness of nature which is not pleasing.
No person prefers to lose and so con-
stantly to call attention to the fact
that they are doing SO and to openly
rejoice in ones own success is incon-
siderate and bad form.
Sweetness Of character, quite as
much as good breeding, is indicated
by the way game is played, whether
one is winning or losing, and girl
who cannot control her tongue or
temper should either train herself to
do so or keep out of games until she
can. One unpleasant person at a table
or on court can spoil the enjoyment
Of all the others, and they would prefer
not to play at all than to have that
fretful element among them.

no one particular in which good breed

Social Amenities
for School Girls


Keeping ones temper when playing
any game, especially cards or tennis,
is not found to be as easy for some
girls as might be thought OF course,
one knows from earliest days that 1t
is horrid, not to mention underbred, to
be rude and thai. to contradict is mot
nice" Yet, strangely enough, the per-
versity of cards or balls cast so po-
tently as to cause girl sometimes to
forget all those maxims upon which
she has been brought up, and it takes
a good deal of self-control not to snap
out an unpleasant remark or to pre-
vent making rather fat contradic-
ton.
Yet, aside from the matter of good
looks, if one would relegate such an
important matter to an aside, girl
really should make a tremendous eff
fort to hold herself well in hand.
Those girls who "get peevish," as the
others say, simply because she Is not

Whether cutlery Is Of steel or silver,
IT'S durability depends as much on the
way you handle It as on the quality OIL
its material and workmanship. When

The woman who makes buttonholes
with her husbands razor because her
scissors happen to be dull, and she
has never thought of buying button
hole scissors, can not have a good
sense Of value. or at least little fore
sight. Needless to say that the razor
was cast in the discard with q con-
vincing exhibition Of temper on the
part of her husband. The cost of the
razor would have paid for three or
four buttonhole scissors. In each case
it was evident that finely tempered
steel will not stand for such contact
with hard and blunt substances. But
impulse will sometimes get the better
OF even the wisest housewife unless
she will discipline herself to think
twice before she acts in emergency.
Table cutlery should not be used for
stirring things on the stove. Every
handy kitchen is or ought to be sup
piled with a number of tin forks, steel
knives, and tin or pewter spoons, and
these will serve the purpose better and
safer.

If frequently brought in contact with
1t. When silver cutlery has been
washed In soapy water and rinsed in
ice water it should be dried thoroughly
possibly over radiator, and then
gievn polish with tissue paper or
flannel. A chamois skin would do the
work even more effectively. Genuine
silver will never rust, but when laid
away damp it becomes black and
blemished.
A good and simple preparation for
cleaning furnished silver consists of
magnesia and fine table salt mixed In
equal proportions. The ashes of BIZ
luminous coal sifted into equal parts
of slaked lime is excellent for clean
ing both steel and silver cutlery.
When steel cutlery requires daily
securing the time tested soft brick

suits.
The sharpening of kitchen cutlery
should be done by an expert II possible
about once every three months. This
includes the carving knife and. bread
knife. In case Of emergency, however,
you can give keener edge to q dull
kitchen knife made of good material
by lashing it briskly back and forth
on the edge of a porcelain crock. A
revolving grindstone, when handy, is
even better. Penknives and jack
knives or pocket knives In general can
be sharpened by running them with
circular motion over a small whet-
stone.
