BEAUTY CHATS
Comfortable Feet.

II your feet have been troubling you
a lot, you might try this two weeks
treatment. 1 can guarantee the most
marvellous results from it, and can
guarantee also beautiful as well as COM
Portable feet.
Try it during your holiday time, or
during some warm part of the Summer
when you can wear unconventional
loose shoes, canvas or else sandals.
Your toes must not be cramped and
the inner side of the sole of your shoes
must go in straight line. This Will
help overcome bunionS.
Each day soak the feet in very warm,
soapy water. Clip the nails rather
short and straight across, and clean
under them carefully with the point OF
a file. If the big nails grow in, wedge
a wisp of absorbent cotton soaked in
oil under the bad part. Cut OH corns
with a corn knife.
But first, while the feet are wet and
the skin soft, go around the edge or
the cuticle part of each nail with a
pointed file and loosen and raise the
dead skin growing there. Clip 1t of
with curved manicure scissors or mani
cure clippers. You cannot get smooth
cuticle at once, 1t may take week. but
each day you can get off little bit
more And after each attempt, rub
vaseline into the nails and all around
them and into the callous spots where
there are corns or threatened sore
places.
At night, soak the feet for minute
in hot water, and dry and then rub
them with a generous amount of olive
oil. Rub thoroughly, working the oil
in between the toes If you have fallen
arches, raise those bones with your fin
gers If your big toes turn in, straight
en- them and work each toe round and
round gently, so 1t does not st1ffen
where that tender joint comes.
In a couple of weeks your feet will
look and feel splendid.
F.. A. B.-There would be no effect
upon the color of your hair If you used
q mixture of olive oil and alcohol. This
would be a good combination for any
scalp treatment, as the alcohol Is very
stimulating If used very much alone
it would be too drying to the scalp,
but the oil takes care of that. Sage
and sulphur will change the color very
slightly, such as turning gray or white
hairs to tan shade. This mixture was
used for generations, but now most
people who want to color their stray
hairs do it much better than the old
way by other means. One way is
henna shampoo and this is as harmless
as the sage and sulphur combination
Miss L. K.-The only way you could
tan your skin would be by successive
sunburnings or by using one OF the tan
powders.
Blue Eyes-Try rubbing some anti
septic pomade into your scalp the night
before you shampoo and it will purify
the scalp and dislodge the dandruff. so
1t will come away with the lather when
you shampoo your head. A sulphur
ointment may be used or oil in which
little sulphur has been rubbed into
1t. A scalp that forms dandruff is
really in need of intelligent care, and
If possible. 1t should be prescribed for
by a scalp specialist; however, when
that is not possible, use the ointments

GOOD FOR US

When a child my elders fed me castor

that oil. ut will do you good" they
told me, when I wept, in bitter mood,
and they often used to scold me for my
base ingratitude Divers herbs they
used in making an unholy, noxious tea,
and when my insides were aching they
would pour 1t into me. 10 consume

siphs with ieers. When at school the
dour old master often took birchen

whaling me both fore and aft. When

and drastic style, "It'll do you good"
he'd tell me, with q cold, Sardon1c

clubs and cleavers in the neck, but you
would not see me grieving, and would
not be q wreck, if no people would
assure me that such things Will do me

me of the ills DER which I brood. I

When q family cannot go away for a
Summer vacation IL becomes essential
that the members give the vacation
atmosphere to the home, If they are to
ind relaxation through change. 1t is
possible to instil such an atmosphere
without such radical changes that they
involve cost or trouble that robS the
plan of pleasure and becomes weari-
some.
Those who have not already put the
house in Summer order can follow the
suggestion here given and have the
benefit during the coming weeks, which
Is period equal to long vacation for
the average family. The changes can
not radically affect the whole house, as
would be the case If done earlier. They
must be centered chiefly with minor
alterations here and there that will be
pronounced in appearance.
First of all, make the veranda, II you
have one, so inviting that it becomes a
spot quickly sought whenever there is
a period of leisure, though it may be
short See that the chairs on it are
comfortable as well as suitable. Make
O few chair seats An applique patch
work pattern can be used, and in q
few hours several chair seats made.
Have the design in one color, as
geometric pattern Of one piece, Sewed
down to a contrasting background cut
square or round as best suits the
chairs.
Put the tops onto old cushions, or
cut plain back of the foundation tex
tile, and fill each case (made by seam
ing back and top together) with cot
ton batting, or any cheap filling pre-
ferred. BY having the materials all as

smart when it is simple.
Take the kind of shoes which you
should wear, for instance. I would
choose white buckskin trimmed with
brown, blue Ozark blue) or black
leather. Get the ones with leather
heels, If you can. But don't make the
mistake of wearing glossy kid pumps or
ornately embroidered textile shoes.
These last may have a place in some
persons wardrobe, but not in yours.
You don't want to spend money on lads
which are smart while they last, but
the lasting is exceedingly short.
And when it comes to bags. I'd
choose rather simple ones. This Sum-

How dare duke assume the rights

The breach grew. A victory at Mount
Carmel opened the way to Joppa and
then to Ramla, from which, on New
Year day, 1892, the Crusaders set out
for Jerusalem But it being judged
impracticable to besiege the city at
that season. it was decided to take over
and fortify Ascalon, so that the Sara
Gems would not have post in the rear
from which to attack them.
The soldiers grumbled. I'VE came
not to build Ascalon. but to conquer

Richard shamed them by using his
strength to carry stones like COM

Leopold to do the same the duke

Richard, angry. struck him . blow
that sent him Keeling.
The impediments became too great.
Word came, too, that Richard was
needed in England. He decided he
must give up the crusade and return
home.
At Joppa, once more, he was attacked
by 1000 SaracenS; against whom he
could oppose less than 1000 men and
only II mounted knights. The man
who brought warning Of the attack
rushed into Richards tent, shouting,

Peace! Or thou diest by my hand"
Numbered Richard. He swore to cut
off the head of the first soldier who
should try to fly.
The attacks of the Saracens having
been stopped, Richard took the Of

everywhere, swinging his ak like q
demon. At nightfall the Christians
could claim tremendous victory. Not
once since daybreak had Richard laid
aside his sword or ak. His hand was
all one blister.
The terror Of Malek Rik-as the Sar-
acens called Richard-lasted in Pales-
tine for centuries after his departure.
If an Arabs horse was frightened, the
rider said, "Dost think that yonder is
the Malek Rik?" Mothers frightened
disobedient children by saying, BE
good, or the Malek Rik will take thee"

to gather these up at night or to put
them in place In the morning. If they
are covered with waterproof material
they can be left out in rain or shine

easily laundered bed spreads and table
