Young Eyes.

Whatever you do to improve your
looks, don't neglect your eyes. Keep
them young and your face will never
look really old. This may be trite ad-
vice, but / believe it is worth fol

First, keep the eyes healthy and
fresh. Don't strain them by working
IN either too dim or too strong q light.
Don't ever have unshaded lights about
| wish more people would bear this
in mind when furnishing houses.
Electroliers are placed in the center of
high ceilings, and to get the most light
with the smallest amount Of current
globes are made shielding the light
from the ceiling and concentrating it
downward on peoples heads. AS a
consequence people look up directly
into the fierce dazzle of the electric
bulbs. and the glare on their heads
affects their eyes, whether they know
1t or not.
If you have such lighting, at least
have bulbs with ground glass lower
halves or white china bulbs, which
spread the light. The glare of an un.
shaded bulb on my own head gives
me a violent headache, and l am sure
is responsible for much eye trouble
with many people. Remember that
since we write and read with the
worst possible combination of colors-
black on White-We shouldn't make ii
more trying by getting a glare or deer
shadow on the pages.

Rabbit Pie.

To one rabbit allow a quarter of a
pound of ham, which should be pre-.
viously cooked for about Is minutes
The rabbit should be cut into neat
joints and placed in a saucepan with
a pint and a half Of water and half a
medium-sized onion, gradually brought
to the boil, SKINNED well, then al
lowed to simmer for one hour and a
half. The cooked pieces should be
placed in pie dish with the ham
cut into small pieces. Two hard
boiled eggs should be mixed with the
meat, which must be seasoned to
taste. Some of the liquor in which
the rabbit was simmered should be
poured into the dish and the whole
covered with good short crust and
brushed over with little milk. The
pie must be baked in a rather brisk
oven for a short time and a little
more stock can be poured through
the ventilation hole.

The Wandering Eve.

An eligible young bachelor, much
sought after by ambitious mothers
and their eager daughters, was asked
why he had so little time for Amer
lean girls--why he professed to like
the youth and beauty of other nations
better than his own.
| "Oh," he answered, American girls
have it over everybody else for looks
and poise and wit-but the trouble
with them is that they all have a nerv-
Gus affliction called the wandering eye.
! 1t makes a man feel like a total loss
when he discovers that his fair partner
has this disease"
People We're mystified. What, they
asked, was the wandering eye?
| Any popular girl with a guilty con-
science could have told them just what
made the eye wander. how far it wan
dered. and to what purpose. For the

You'll see the same thing at any

cut short another mans dance with a
girl by simply tapping him on the
shoulders in practice.
The belle of the ball will be found
gazing rapturously up into the face
of her dancing partner. She will un-
doubtedly be telling him just how
much she hoped he'd dance with her.
and how she missed him at the last
| hop, etc.
This happy prattle will last until
she's danced once around the room
with him. Then you will notice a
CLEAN of anxiety creeping into her
eyes. viii no one ever cut in?
She still smiles radlantly at her com
paniOn, but her eyes do not remain
fixed on his face--no, she is rolling
them furtively in the direction of the
stag line.
She says. Yes, you do dance better
than most of the boys here" and she
thinks. There's that awful Carter
boy who always cuts in on me. Why
doesn't he do it now"
OF course, she confidently believes
that all this is lost on her partner, but
the chances are he's taking it all in
and scratching her off his list of per
manent possibilities.
Therefore. if you are wise girls, you
will learn to control your eyes. No

likely to awaken. SO he went straight
over there and waited.
When great big Buster Bear awoke
and, yaWning and stretching, came
forth to go look for something to eat.
the very first person he saw was
Yowler the Bob Cat. Buster frowned,
for he wasn't particularly friendly
with Yowler. Yowler pretended not
to see the frown.
Good evening, Buster Bear" said
he most politely. 1T looks as If we
are going to have a very nice night.
What a pity it Is that the big swamp
up the Laughing Brook is to be taken
away from u.s.
Buster Bear suddenly sat up and
stared hard at Yowler. What did
you say" he demanded.
Il said what a pity it is that the
big swamp is to be taken away from
u.s." repeated Yowler.
"Who says it is?" demanded Buster
in his grumbly-rumbly voice way
down in his throat.
why, haven't you seen what is
going on up there?' asked Yowler
with an air of great surprise.
I've seen Paddy the Beaver and
his family building a new dam across
the Laughing Brook, but what of
that?" growled Buster.
What of that" exclaimed Yowler.
"Oh, nothing, only when there is a
big pond there there won't be any
swamp to hunt in. That's ALL"
Busters small eyes snapped. THAT
is a fact. You are right, Yowler,
quite right. ! hadn't thought of that
before" said he
Paddy the Beaver seems to think
he owns that swamp and can do with
it just what he pleases," continued
Yowler. That swamp always has
been a good place to hunt and 7, for
one, don't just like the idea of losing
it. That swamp is just as much
yours and mine as it is Paddy'S, and
it seems to me that something ought
to be done about it."
THAT is all very we'll to say, but
what can be done?" demanded Buster.
II don't know" confessed Yowler,
with the slyest of sly looks in his yell
low eyes. IF I were a little bigger
and stronger I know what I would
do"
What would you doo" growled
Buster
Il would go up there and tear that
dam down. Anyway, l would tear a
hole in it big enough to let all the
water out" said Yowler. Then he
sighed. But I am not big or strong
enough" he added.
Buster Bear said nothing, but he
turned and began to hurry away in
the direction of that swamp.

Artificial silk underwear or stock
ings should never be wrung when
washed, as wringing causes ladders -
The material should be gently
squeezed between the hands. then
pressed between two towels and
shaken occasionally while drying. 1t
should be ironed while still wet, under
q thin cloth or piece of muslin. Do
not forget to add a tablespoonful of
vinegar to the last rinsing water. as
this will freshen up the silk. Stains
on the feet of silk stockings can
usually be removed by rubbing over
them a cut lemon dipped in salt.

When children get older rings de
li@ht them, and are not inappropriate
provided the correct kinds are Sc
lected. Small initiated signet rings
and those with semi-precious stones
inconspicuously set, either in silver
or gold, are in good form. Children's
rings should not be costly nor con
spicuous, but marked by simplicity
TO suit the costuming that is correct
for such youth. AS children grow
older rings may become more elab
crate as does the style of their frocks
Signet rings continue to be correct
for young men, and fraternity rings
are in high favor.
Hints on Diamonds.
Diamonds should not be worn by
young girls, since this stone is the
historic and emblematic one for an
engagement ring. Even when worn
on the right hand it causes comment

Diamond Settings.

III a colorful stone. 4 girl who is
past her teens can wear such COM

taste, the correct wearing of jowelry.
Mems Rings.
Men seldom wear diamond rings,
preferring large dark stones that sug-
Gest strength and masculinity rather
than grace and beauty. 1t may be
added that some of these mems rings
range in prices comparable to those
Of diamond rings. 1t is not price,
but appropriateness that underlies this
idea. The historic reason for signet
rings, which are par excellence for
men, is that they were once used to
