astringent after cleansing the face in
this way. Cold water or ice Is simple
but effective astringent for this purpose.
Plain witch hazel Is mild astringent
and one which Is very good. When
using stronger astringents one must
study ones own skin very carefully, as
employing too strong an agent will
cause a dry skin to pull and become
drier, and wrinkles are likely to be
formed rather than prevented. For
most skins it is a very good plan to
apply an agent called skin tonic, skin
freshener or stimulant to the face
after cleansing and before applying
makeup, or after using tissue cream.
These products are mildly astringent;
their action will cause the face to
tingle just bit after they are applied,
but this tingling only proves that they
are waking up and stimulating the
skin, and also slightly Tightening 1t
and thus closing the pores.
When skin is beginning to become
fiabby, milady would be wise to apply a
facial pack or compress two or three
times week. Make mask of clean
absorbent cotton, saturate it with q
leaving it there for about Is minutes.
Before applying the pack the skAa
should be thoroughly cleansed with a
good cleansing cream. Wipe OF the
cream and then apply a tissue cream
and leave on the skin for several min
utes. Remove the second cream after
massaging the skin very lightly and
then apply the compress. The astrin-
gent for the compress may. be plain
witch hazel or any commercial astrtn-
gent which n1tlady prefers.

Of poetry, replied: 81 don't suppose
that there is a dog in town but thinks
sol"
Whatever Chevreul thought Of poets
we know that he had high regard for
cooks and cookery.
When he had passed the century
mark he was accustomed to breakfast
every morning on a menu consisting
Of two eggs, a healthy slice of chicken
pasty made by his own cook and a full
pint of coffee. For his dinner he ate
with relish large plate of tapioca soup
with grated cheese, a good sized outlet,
bunch of grapes and liberal helping
of cheese. This he washed down with
three glasses of water
One of his peculiarities as French
man was that he ate no fish and drank
no wine.
Chevreul was active in his profession
and in society to the very last. He did
not really reach the peak of his career
until he became director of the natural
history museum in Paris in 1863, when
years he had been serving as professor
Of organic chemistry at the museum
and he did not give up this job when
he became director.
In 1879, being then SO, he resigned
the dictatorship, but continued his
PROFESSIONAL duties.
In 1886, when all Paris joined in
joyously celebrating his Tooth birthday
he was still alert and active, with a
mind as keen as ever. He died in 1889
The world owes great deal to

Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLISTER.

OF utmost Importance to the woman
who sews is something to hold the i'm
plements of her handiwork. The shops
are full of attractive and convenient
sewing cases-tables, boxes, screens and
baskets. One clever screen, three-leaved,
folds together and clamps to make a
triangular table. The triangular top is
on hinges and is folded down inside
the screen when the table is not in
use. The little table may be used as
a stand to hold accessories of sewing,
and the leaves of the screen are fitted
with pockets to hold needles, pins, scis-
sors and the other accessories of sew
ing.
The old-fashioned Martha Washing
ton sewing table is never out of place
and the various other small stands and
cabinets are always useful
Nowadays there is no reason to do all
your sewing by hand, even If you have
no room for a large sewing machine.
There are portable electric sewing ma
chimes quite as convenient as the port
able typewriter. These may be carried
from place to place in comfortably
handled box and then unpacked and
set up for use wherever you find con-
venient electric plug. The machine is
placed on a stand or table of any sub
stantial sort.

skin. A younger girl or woman needs
only very mild aStringent, and one Of
these used regularly viii help keep
facial muscles and skin in firm and
youthful condition. When the years
have begun to mount and are evidenced
by f1abby muscles and wrinkles, 1t is
time to use stronger astringent.
There are many women whose first
task in trying to bring youthful
contour back to their faces is to gain in
weight, as loss of weight will cause the
skin to hang in fabby folds. But there
are many whose skin has taken on this
condition but who do not need to gain
weight. They must depend entirely or
facial massage with tissue creams and
upon astringents to straighten out a
creepy skin.
Another important use Of an astrin-
gent, however, has nothing to do with
wrinkles-it is to close the pores After
cleansing the skin with warm water the
pores are open and unless closed they
will become coarse and easily clogged
with dirt. Such pores eventually turn
into blackheads. For this reason both
young and old should use some sort Of

Uniforms as Carb of Experts
BY MARY MARSHALL.

that caps, trim collars and cuffs are
very becoming.
Maids uniforms have benefited great
ly by the recent changes of fashion,
since longer skirts provide a better
background for fine white aprons and
the normal waistline provides far
trimmer location for the apron belt and
strings than the less definitely placed
lower waistline. Another thing that
makes uniforms more attractive Is that
they need no longer be black nor need
they be made of the stuffy serge or
sateen that was once considered ex-
clusively appropriate.
From a little ribbon and elastic you
can make hose supporter girdle that

Beauty is far more than skin deep;
the woman who would be truly beautiful
must look first of all to her general
health and her mental attitude toward
life. Next on the program comes ex-
ternal aids. There are many OF these
which, rightly used, can do wonders
toward improving milady's appearance.
One of the most helpful Of external
aids is an aStringent.
AS some readers seem to be puzzled as
to exactly what is meant by an astrin-
gent and how and when it should be
used, a little general information will
no doubt be of interest The purpose
of any astringent is to tighten and tone
UP the skin and to close the pores.
Tightening the skin will, of course, &C
complish the closing of the pores.
The kind of astringent to use depends
entirely upon the condition of ones

BEAUTY CHATS
Arm Beaches.

There are all sorts of simple bleach
ing preparations which can be used on
the hands and arms to keep them soft
looking and white. We overdid the sun
burn treatment last Summer and II
won't be nearly so fashionable this year.
If you do gardening, or II you spend
your holidays at the seashore, or If you
live in the country-if, in fact, you're
in danger of getting heavy coat OF
tan-you should be prepared with some
bleaching remedies.
Can you make mask out OF almond
meal? You simply buy the almond
meal loose, by the ounce or the pound,
at drug store and you make paste
by adding peroxide Of hydrogen. II
your skin Is very, very delicate, use
half peroxide and half warm water.
Spread this paste all over the arms,
making thick layer, and quickly wrap
the arms round with wide strips OF
gauze. Let it stay on for half an hour.
If you haven't much time, after the
paste has dried, which will be in about
10 minutes, wiring a towel from hot
water and hold this over the bandage.
This will make the bleach more eff
fective, because its heat will open the
pores of the skin. Wash the almond
paste off with warm water, then with
cold. If you use this on the face, I'd
suggest massaging with almond oil and
then an ice-cold rinse, but I do. not
think this is necessary for the arms.

STEWED PRUNES.
Soak one and one-half pounds
prunes in warm water for an
hour, then pour boiling water on,
enough to cover. Cut in a little
ginger root or lemon peel. just
enough to flavor. After cooking
one-half hour let stand until cold,
then sugar to taste.
FRENCH FRIED.
Pare and cut potatoes in long
cubes, soak in cold water at least
one-half hour, then drain and
wipe very dry. Fry them in very
hot fat Gas you would doughnuts),
putting few in at a time so as
not to chill the fat, and fry about
10 minutes. Salt to taste. Par
ships cooked the same way are
delicious.
PIE WITH CHEESE.
Line deep pie plate with rich
pie crust. Pare and quarter small
apples and place a row around
edge of plate and work toward
center until crust is covered. Mix
one-half cupful sugar, one round

Another good bleach Is cornmeal and

milk being used to make a. thick sort
of paste. Keep rubbing the hands In
basin of this for 10 or Is minutes and
let as much as possible of the paste dry
over the arms. Rinse of with the warm
water. The usual hand bleaches can
also be used, though most Of them are
too expensive to use all over the arms.
I think one of the best pieces of advice
can give you is to wear sleeves and
collars. rolling high in the back, made
of dark material to avoid sunburn.
E. A. J.-You should weigh about lis
pounds at "a years of age, with height
of 5 feet 2 inches. Unless your bones
are very small, which will account for
5 pounds, you are from IS to 80
pounds below normal weight. You can
build up weight by taking cod liver oil.
but the better plan would be to have
doctor find out just the cause for the
trouble. Hot milk taken just before re-
firing is excellent for very thin persons,
as 1t Is easily assimilated at that time.
You would gain so little by massaging
coco butter into your skin that 1t would
not be worth the effort.

BRANT IS BACK AFTER SUMMER TO WESTWARD

The patrol boat Brant, Capt. Earl Hunter, of the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries. arrived from Ketchi- kan at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon enroute to Juneau after cruising along the west coast of Prince of Wales Island.
 The Brant encountered a hard blow last Friday on the way from Yes Bay to Ketchikan, according to Capt Hunter. He estimated the ve- locity of the wind at 90 miles an hour.
 The Brant spent the greater part of the summer cruising to the west ward, calling in at Nushigak, Dutch Harbon the Shumagin Is- lands and various ports of Cook In let. She will go south about oc- tober 20 to be laid up for the win ter. Capt. and Mrs. Hunter, who are we'll known in Wrangell, expect to spend the winter in California.
