Under the leaf the little fellow chews
off the silken surface close to 1t and
constructs little blanket. 1t is shy
little creature, and Is seen only when
dining. After each meal he creeps back
under the downy comfort and digests
his meal.
Soon this covering Is too small. and
now the caterpillar Is more fearless and
decides to see more of the world. Up
on the other side of the leaf he goes
and there constructs a more roomy
abode. This room has leaves drawn to-
gether and held in position with silken
ropes. After while a very pretentious
home is built There are several door,
ways to it, and the owner goes back
and forth, eating more often as he
grows more portly. ...
A new existence awaits him now, and
he hangs downward from the ceiling OF
the dwelling just like the caterpillar
of the painted beauty. In about 10 days
the caterpillar emerges q lovely butter

The thrifty woman who makes her

she has from which to make things and
sees what can be done without any out
lay or at the smallest cost. Leftover
textiles Of all sorts can be requisitioned,
even the bags in which come sugar, salt,

with large sacks Of cotton, linen or firm,
stout burlap, which can be bought at
many grocers' and grain shops where
wholesale quantities are sold in smaller
amounts. The empty bags can be pur-
chased. for song, but usually they
must be spoken for in advance. These
bags are terribly dirty because Of trans
portation, sometimes from foreign coun-
tries, but with repeated washings they
can be made clean.
Salt, sugar and flour bags make ex-
cellent busters. A set of six. neatly tied
up with colored Christmas ribbon Of pa
per, is a fine remembrance gift. These
busters are incest when dyed attractive
colors and have rolled hens with the
overcasting done In contrasting COL
ored heavy thread. Six form a set.
Large linen bags, cut into dish-towel

Dish Ran Away With the Spoon Is

can be had for a dime.
Some linen sacks can be made into
table covers, as the textile is often good

tones. A cross-stitch butterfly to be en-
broidered in corners and floral design

having the secret of nourishing the
body without putting anything through
the esophagus.
For more mature individuals who
have insufficient natural skin oil tse-
bum) various oils are helpful in keep
ing the skin in good condition and the
complexion clear. One Of the best is
plain cold cream freshly prepared by
the pharmacist after the formula for
ING. Aquae RoSae continent of rose
water) in his standard formulary, the
Pharma copeia.
No artificial skin oil can compare
with the natural sebum. All artificial
skin oils have the drawback that they
do not last long-they dry up too
quickly, or disappear by attrition. OF
course no oil is absorbed by the skin.
A good skin oil should be used very
sparingly in any case. A teaSpoonful Is
enough for the whole body for a day.
Not enough to make the skin look or
feel greasy In any case.
Olive oil, sweet almond oil, cocoa

coconut Oil are all good oils for this
purpose.
OH Of sesame otherwise known as
teel oil and benne OLD Is particularly
useful as a skin oil because 1t Is slow to
dry away and it does not clog the skin
as some other oils do. Sesame oil was
used by the ancient Egyptians and
Persians and is still used by the Arabs
as a skin beautifier. Plain sesame oil
will become rancid If kept long. but
when the following formula is COM
pounded by the pharmacist it keeps
we'll and is praised by many users who
require some such daily application to
keep the skin and complexion in con-
dition: Sesame oil, ounces; powdered
benZoin, 20 grains: absolute alcohol, IL
drops. Rub up the oil with the benzoin
in q mortar and keep at about blood
temperature for three hours over a
water bath, then cool and add the al
cohol, stir and filter. This Is job for
a pharmacist, not a cook.
A few drops of the same oil may be
used on the scalp daily to keep excess
sively dry scalp and hair In condition.
AS q rule young skins and complex
ions like plenty of soap and water and
the less grease or oil or cream the bet
ter. Older skins are irritated by soap
and water, and soothed and improved
by the daily use of grease. oil or cream.

wv found wherever the thistle
grows. The thistle Is known
as one of the most successful
plants in the world-that is, from the
thistle's point of view. All over the
world this plant grows and multiplies
under the most difficult conditions. The
brightly colored flowers are filled with
nectar and pollen. They are unmo-

The painted lady is also known as
the cosmopolite. She follows the thistle
wherever she roams. She never harms
her host plant, and no matter how far
apart they are they manage to get to-
gether. These butterflies take long
aerial journeys and congregate in
swarms on trees and bushes. 1t Is re-

been a dainty butterfly the Fall before
