Spring Near Monument.

Before a single alder blooms, or
any wild flowers have come out in
the woods, one may sometimes catch
the first glimpse of a flower on the
wide and rolling lawn of the acres
of grass around the Washington Mon
ument. There in early March, in the
low, dense carpet of turf, the little
chickweed blooms, very close to the.
ground, it's tiny symmetrical flowers
peeping up at one everywhere. With
it are the speedwell-the blue of the
sky is scattered everywhere-and a
little low.growing mint flower of mad
der purple color, called henbit, or by
some of the old folks, marry-me-
quick, though for what reason I can
not guess.
Soon, however, more conspicuous
blossoms than those of these little
Old World garden weeds, are seen
around the great Monument. The
cornelian cherry, Cornus Mas, as the
botanists call 1t, has been planted
there and comes to flower in sprays
of white gold in the middle of March.
And now we see forsythia around the
Monument, that shower of little

Choosing House for the Summer.

When you first take possession of
the house, by all means make q tour
of the rooms, removing all objects
that appear to be useless as we'll as
unornamental, and all objects that
seem to be especially fragile or liable
to break. Put these things carefully
away. Photographs and small orna-
ments Of a purely personal nature are
usually better off out of the way. 1t
is always Il good idea, too, to have
ornamental drapery. table covers, un-
washable pillow covers, and other
similar dust collectors out of the way
On entering the house get permission
from the owner or agent to take such
things down. Lay them carefully
away in some closet or attic where no
harm will come to them. You will
probably be much better off without
them.

Exercises for Foot Ailments.

Feet and legs have become SO promi-
nent in present-day styles that one
has ample opportunity for observation
and the decision that few are perfect.
The baby's foot is such beautiful OBJ
Ject that one wonders what happened
between babyhood and adulthood to
cause so many humpy, lumpy, mis-
shapen feet and SO many ugly ankles.
One need not be entirely concerned
with the beauty of the foot and ankle
in order to deplore such conditions.
for the person suffers tortureS when
the feet are in bad condition, and un-
doubtedly fails to do his proper allot-
ment of walking when every step is
painful.
Here are some simple exercises
which will correct the foot ailments
OF children if done conscientiously
Do these exercises barefooted: Sit on
the floor or bed, legs straight; flex an
kle and raise toes up as far as pos
sible toward shin. Keep the legs still.
Do this 10 to 40 times daily.
Walk on heels around the room
toes turned inward.
Sit with feet parallel Keep toes on
hoor and knees straight. Pull inner
border up and out, 30 to 40 times.
Sit with right leg crossed over left
knee; make circles outward with right
foot, up and down, in, up. Make
strong effort on 'in' and up and re-
lax on ''out" and down" Alternate
with other foot. Do this 20 to 40
times.
Sit with feet apart and parallel on
floor. Spread toes, pull toes in and
under as If taking hold of floor Re-
peat 20 to 80 times.
Step forward a short step with
right foot, grip with right foot; ad-
vance left foot, grip with left; walk
forward, grip with foot as the weight
is transferred to it. Toe straight
ahead in walking
These exercises can be taught to
children of 2 years and they will do
them as fun. Children adore running
about the floor barefooted and walk
Ing on toes and heels, and gripping
with the toes will be just plain fun,
and at the same time wonderful
strengtheners of the foot muscles.
1t would be q splendid idea to cut
out this set of exercises and paste
them in your scrap book. You can't
tell how soon you may be wanting
them, and memories are tricky things.

Many women find it much better
to rent a house or cottage at seaside,
lake or mountains than to arrange to
put up their families at hotels during
holiday season. Often a vacation
spent in a rented house is cheaper, in
spite Of the high rents now asked for
resort places. Then, too, with a cot
tage or house it is often possible to
find room for guests. If there are
children or any one who needs a spe-
cial diet it is, of course, better to
have home cooking.
Still there are some difficulties sur
rounding this taking of a house for
suggestions offered by d woman who
has had experience in this matter of
rented houses for the Summer.
Carefully examine the kitchen stove
or range. Nothing is more miserable
FOR the housewife than to try to keep
house at a Summer resort with an in
adequate cook stove. See about the
water pressure and other matters con-
nected with the sanitation of the
house. Such matters may become dis
ordered during the Winter months
and unless YOU make complaint be-
fore you have paid your rent it is
sometimes difficult to have anything
done about il.
If any sort of agreement is to he
signed concerning the house you rent,
be sure tor read it all the way through.

If at all possible. say that you will
take the matter into consideration
and answer when you think you know
all about it. This watching-waiting
attitude gives the children an idea
that you think their affairs very i'm
portant and that you give them
thought and attention. This attitude,
in itself, makes them more careful
of what they ask and in what they
engage. They do not want to be found
wanting when you scrutiniZe their re-
quest.
An open mind On q question is
usually better than a definitely closed
one. There are a few things that
each family permits or does not permit
definitely The fewer these are the
better, because they tend to make
life very rigid, and youth cannot abide
rigidity very long. If the authority
in the household is known to be mel
low and easy as long as there is no
abuse of privileges. there will be fewer
occasions for the NO" and these will
be accepted more cheerfully than not.

BEAUTY CHATS
Clear Skin.

If your skin looks badly. if it is
inclined to be shiny and has little
life or clearness If it's color aside
from pink in the cheeks) is poor,
you may find a remedy in this sort
OF daily bath.
Run the tub fairly full of hot
water and add salts or soda if the
water IS hard. Rub lot of CASTLE
soap on a long handled, rather stiff
bath brush and scrub yourself all
over from head to foot. I mean this
literally; scrub face, neck, back
your whole body and most especially
the backs of the shoulders, which
usually are neglected and which
break out in blackheads, and the
feet, which need this daily stimulat-
ing bath.
Scrub hard. you cannot hurt your
skin. The vigorous vibration of the
bath brush's bristles opens the pores,
cleanses them of dirt and waste mat
ter. No amount of rubbing with a
cloth will do this; no other way
except a Turkish or "a Swedish bath
will SO drain the skin and so thor
oughly clean it. AS the skin daily
throws off poisons from the body and
as the backing UP of these poisons
in the system will cause anything
lIOil DldChHeduS 10 real physical
troubles, you can see how necessary
it is to keep these important chan
nels free to do their work.
The daily scrubbing does more
than that. 1t stimulates the skin into
greater activity, so 1t can clear the
body of more of this daily excess.
The skin will become a clear. healthy
color again, finer in texture than
before, muddiness will disappear.
The body will be healthier with an
active skin.
The proof lies in the trial
Jessie G.. G.-Soaps are so mex
pensive there Is no excuse for using
a harmful one on the skin. Oils or
cream will not take the place of
soap and even a dry skin will be
benefited by the occasional use of
soap and water. Be sure to rinse
all the soap out afterward, so that
the skin will not have parched
feeling.

in water, so you should not omit
using the two. If there is much dry
ness following the soap and water
cleansing, you should work the least
bit of olive oil or a good cream into
the pores. Just a few drops viii be
all that is needed for this, and the
least bit of rubbing with the finger
tips.
