BEAUTY CHATS
Forethought.

If women who do housework would
take a little thought before they be-
gan work, their faces and hands and
arms need never show the results of
their hard labors. For those fortunate
enough to be able to buy them, there
are electric dishwashing machines;
and for those not able to get some-
thing so fancy, arrangements with a
hose that fastens on the hot water
faucet; and for those without an ample
supply of hot water, soap shakers,
dish mops with long handles, and rub
ber gloves.
There are electric washing ma
chines-expensive, but they save their
cost in a hundred ways. And for the
women who can't afford them, pat
ented soap powders and flakes, so that
clothes can soak themselves clean over
night or during morning spent with
other sorts of work. I know one
woman who soaks her weeks laundry
Tuesday afternoon while she takes the
time off for bridge club, who re-
turns home to take her hot dinner
from a fireless cooker, and with the
family's help quickly rinses and hangs
out the clothes VITO dry overnight on q
back porch.
There are always ways to manage
housework so it will not injure the
complexion, or the youthfulness of

his hunt all alone. He hunted every
where that he could think of before
going over to the pond of Paddy the
Beaver.
1t was daylight by the time that
Peter got over to the pond Of Paddy
the Beaver. 1t was deep in the Green
Forest. 1t looked just as peaceful as
it always looked. Well out towards
the middle was Paddy's wonderful
house. At one end was Paddy's won
derfuI dam across the Laughing
Brook. 1t was this dam which made
,the pond. The dam had been there
SO long that now grass was growing
on it and there were even some little
trees starting up on it. Yea see, mud
and sod had filled in beRWeen the
sticks with which the dam was built,
giving things a chance to grow.
But Peter wasn't thinking Of the
wonder of that house or that dam. He
looked eagerly foT Paddy. He wanted
IN ask questions of Paddy. But Paddy
the Beaver and Mrs. Paddy had been
very busy that night and they had
now retired to their comfortable bed
in the house to sleep. So Peter sat
around in vain. 1t began to look as if
he should have to spend the day there
if he hoped to see Paddy the Beaver.
Peter himself was tired, SO after a
hit he sat down comfortably under a
low-growing hemlock and went to
sleep. When he awoke some time later
ba felt much refreshed. In fact. he
felt SO much refreshed that he de-
cided TO go exploring a little. SO he
started around the edge Of the pond
of Paddy the Beaver. After a while
he came to a muddy place. Right
away he saw a footprint that in
terested him. It gave him little cold
shiver. You see, it was the footprint
of Yowler the Bobcat. 1t had been
made only the night before.
I'm glad I wasn't here when that
fellow was around" thought Peter.
He looked along a little farther and
, there he saw some more footprints.
At first he thought they were the
footprints Of his cousin, Jumper the
Hare. Then, quite suddenly, it came
to Peter that these footprints were
smaller than those made by Jumper
the Hare. Hhey We're just about the
size of his own footprints. They must
be the footprints Of that strange rab'
Bit he had been looking for. Peter
felt the hair rise on the back of his
neck. he gritted his teeth he became
very. very angry just at the sight OF
those footprints. For quite some time
~ could do nothing but sit there and
stare at them.
At last he hoped over little
nearer to them and then as he glanced
along the shore he received another
shock. And it was q shock The fact
that he had half expected something
of the kind didn't make the shock any
the less. There, in the mud, were
some more footprints. They were
footprints Of rabbit. and they were

Teasing.


Once more I rise to protest against
teasing a child. 1t is a game particu.
larly offensive. One never sees the
little helpless child teasing the big
able-bodfed ones. The teaser usually
picks somebody weaker than himself,
the more helpless, the better. When
he torments his victim to tears he is
happy. Even full-grown men and
women have been known to indulge
in this primitive sort of sport, the
more shame to them.
A baby is seated on the rug, playing
happily with his ball and his fluffy
rabbit. An older person comes along
and snatches up the ball and pretends
to toss it away and puts it behind his
back. The baby looks about him
anxiously. holds up his hands for the
ball, and tries to ask for it. The
teaser smiles and shakes his head.
"Gonie gone" says he with a charm
ing smile at his own sweetness. The
will return the ball. The game is
finished when the child weeps.
A little lad is so unfortunate as to
be lame, or feeble minded. or marked
in some way that sets him apart from
his fellows for his lifetime. The teaser
is upon him at first sight. lie fits a
neat name to his misfortune and dis.
covers just what trick of voice or
manner, just what gesture will hurt
the child most and ever after harp on
it. The more his victim squirms the
happier he is.
Sometimes parents and teachers say
to the weeping child, Hes only teas
ing you. Don't mind him. Laugh at
him and he will soon STOP
So far, so good. This unhappy child
will have to erect a defense against
his mates, and the sooner he learns
| how to do it the better He is forced
to carry his burden through life and
on the road he will meet many a one
sport Of him. He will have to learn
so as to suffer least.
But what about the teaser? Has
any one said anything positive to him?
He is in a very bad way and should be
corrected at once. He is to be told the
right name for his pastime and to be
made ashamed of it. He is to be
taught the fine old rule-"As you are
strong, be merciful." and the older
one, ITO whom much hath been given
much shall be expected"
Teasing helpless ones, is the mark
Of the old man within us. It is an
ugly mark, brand upon the soul of
him who has it. In the end the
teaser is far worse off than the help
less one he tormented. 1t is the duty
of the teacher and the parent to get
him to understand just what he is

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Saturday, October 20.

While a benefic aspect is strong
early in the morning, there are ad-
verse aspects later in the day, accord
ing to astrology.
This Is a planetary government
under which it is held to be especially
unfortunate to speculate, but there
will be strong temptation to dabble in
stocks.
The first work under this sway of
the stars should be the settling OF bills
or stabilizing OF ones financial situa-
ton.
There is a fairly good aspect for the
signing Of leases or business agree
mentS.
Under this rule plans may be
thwarted and there may be strong
sense of the futility of effort.
1t is wise to postpone constructive
work and to delay all important
initiative.
Persons who exercise authority may
be testy and difficult to deal with,
while this rule prevails. Employees
should be careful.
1t is not a lucky day for seeking
employment or benefits of any sort
and all solicitation should be post
poned.
The evening Is not especially prom
ising for theaters or other places of
amusement. Storms may diminish
audiences.
Love affairs in the evening are sub
ject to the most sinister direction of
the stars. Engagements are likely to
be broken.
Fashions are to be much more
feminine in line and more dainty in
material, it is prognosticated.
Persons whose birth date III ia 9hn1J16
be conservative in all social and busi-
ness activities in the coming year.
Children born on that day may be
inclined to talk too much or to en-
phasize their own Importance. They
may be great social favorites, but
they should be ttught to work hard
if they want success.
