convinced that exposure to cold is never
injurious to ones health, no matter
how much discomfort one may suffer
during such exposure.
To all who think there is any sense
or truth in the teachings of such au-
thorities as these, 1 suggest the daily
cold air bath as an excellent means OF
developing in your long-suffering skin
some slight efficiency in the perform
ance of those functions for which the
skin was naturally designed. Or better,
twice day do little dancing, light
exercise. or just walking or trotting
about somewhere in your skin. with
open windows. so that the air will be as
cold as the season affords. Lengthen
the duration of this exposure gradually
from day to day. Ben Franklin, you
remember, wrote for an hour or go
every morning while taking his cold
air bath.
The modern trend, at least in fash
ions for women, is to wear less clothing.
Every such move is in the right direc
ton, so far as health is concerned.
People who bundle or coddle themselves
too much are generally astonished at
the improvement in health when they
get the cold air bath habit and begin
to worry along with the least possible
clothing.

ny don't we take off our shoes on the
threshold and go in stockings or house
slippers, like some Of our Oriental
neighborS?
The fact remains that we do wear our
shoes Indoors, and we shall probably
continue to do so. And so long as we
do we will have brooms and ous;panS,
carpet sweepers and small brushes and
vacuum cleaners. if we can afford them.
With vacuum cleaner is very apt
to come a casting aside of all the old
time lore regarding the cleaning and
care of carpets. We seem to think that
TIL vacuum cleaner ought to do it all.
Our gTandmotherS taught their maids
to sprinkle fine carpets with bran
slightly r-oistened or with salt before
bro1-.ling. This was not used simply to
l.v the dust, but to bring out the color
of the rug and to clean 1t. Try this
even when you use q carpet sweeper or
vacuum cleaner.
1t is not bal idea to have q small,
stiff brush and dustpan to use with
the vacuum cleaner. If a portion of
tn rug looks faded and dull, sprinkle
well with the mositened bran or salt
and rive it a brisk brushing with the
little ,.s.l or broom.

Clothes.

Clothes should be of loosely woven
material, as light as possible Gin
weight, white or light colored in Sum-
mer or hot climates, dark in Winter or
cold climates, permeable to air, and
not tight fitting. Loose coverings allow
circulation of air and evaporation of
moisture from the body.
These essential points are given by
DR.. Alfred B. Olsen Of Battle Creek IL
an instructive contribution on the use
of cold air baths and sun baths in the
treatment CT various diseases The
points mentioned completely cover the
requirements for the hygiene of cloth
ing. 1t is not significant what texture
or material the clothing may be. Silk,
cotton, wool, linen, paper, leather, flu,
hair, grasS-you pays your money and
takes your choice.
So far this Winter I have worried
along without an overcoat. but with my
alphabetical armor on, the same as IN
Summer. 1t is only fair. however, to
add that so far this Winter I haven't
seen any ice. or snow. But just the
same I observe that out of 10 men Of
my age in this vicinity sport oyercoats
much of the time, not because they
need warmth, I believe, but just be-
cause they are mere men, with women
managers at home who make 'em wear
EN- just to be on the safe side, you
know. I stand for a good deal from
the women of my little world, but they
will never succeed in making me wear
an oYercoat until / become too feeble
to resist mean when I don't need
one for comfort.
DR.. Leonard Hill, famous English
authority on ventilation, climatology
and hygiene, says sit is absurd to put
on an overcoat when going cut for
walk. 1t is good to go out and be
braced by feeling cold and SO be i'm
PEELED to take vigorous exercise"
To that DIR. Olsen adds: This may
seem a hard saying for many who live
in modern hot houses and have formed
the habit of overlooking themselves.
The time to make the change is in the
Summer and early Autumn
To that would add: "Baloney. IN
less you're a veritable old mollycoddle
you may make the change whenever
the notion strikes you, no matter what
the weather or season"

it. If you wanted to advertise corsets
or baby food, man was hired to write
the copy. Men awkwardly wrote down
what they thought women might like
to hear. That's all done with now.
Such copy is now written by women.
This is one OF the few jobs for which
women are paid as much as men. There
are executive positions in the adver-
Using business which women seldom

have every chance. None the less,
think I ought not to encourage Ethel

the growth of superhuous hair except
the drastic measure of destroying the
roots with the electric needle. There
are many means of removing the
Objectionable hairs temporarily, how
ever, and these include the use of
chemical depilatories, wax, a razor
and pumice stone. Since these meth
eds must be employed time and again,
they usually make the hairs come in
thicker, so it is the best plan to use
them sparingly. My advice to any
girl who is troubled with superfiuous
hair on her face is to let it alone or
bleach it unless 1t Is extremely con-
spicuous. In such a case, it may be
removed permanently. Hair on the
limbs should also be bleached unless
it is an exceptionally heavy growth,
when it may be taken off from time
to time with a depilatory. Under
arm hair should, of course, be removed
regularly.
Before leaving the subject Of super
fluous hairs, want to give you a
word of caution against jerking out
hairs from moles or from the nostrils
In the former case, the whole mole
should be removed, hair and all, by
eXcision, electrolysis or other suitable
method in the hands of an expert.
When hairs in the nose become too
long, they may be carefully clipped. OF
course, they will grow in again.

SPRINCTIME

If you are a bit bored with the
perennial raptures over Jack-in-the-
pulpit and windflowers, the first hepati-
ca and pussywillow, and I grant you
that there has been a deal of bad
poetry jingled out on the subject of
these familiar vernal blooms, there are
nevertheless some early Spring flowers
that nobody has yet sung or wept over,
that are indeed little known even to
most nature lovers, but which grow
within sight of the Capitol dome.
I am thinking particularly of the
golden corydalis which mods in the
Potomac woods. Distinctly a rare plant,
it is one of the daintiest little sprites
in the woods. With 1t you may find
a species of pepper-root which comes
out several weeks earlier than the
ordinary variety, and at the same time
keep your eyes open for Douglas bit
ter cress, with large, handsome, white
petals
One of the quaintest little flowers
that blow is the pennywort, with penny
shaped leaves and lovely, small, frosty
white flowers flushed family with
pink, which grows in rocky woods and
on forested rich hillsides, and belongs
TO that good-looking family of the
gentians, though blooming at the OPP
posite end of the calendar.
The very first grass to flower is the
melic grass, with the arrest of little
hanging blossoms. Some Old World
waits that are rare with us and make
a start with the first balmy days are
the celandine Gin the poppy family
and the lesser celandine Gin the but
tercup family, nor must forget, in
this class, the mouse-ear mustard, that
lovable scamp OF weed that has

to that . lrful, inevitable thing called
death. The fact is one cannot think
about death, even under normal condi-
lions, without going through the mental
motions of considering what the past
h meant. The eternities of a vast
past and perhaps a still more vast flu
ture seem to form a circle. The one
turns upon the other. Every memory
is an ..nticipation in the making.
When a person is in dire danger his
entire mental equipment is called into
action. The big idea is to find some
way Of escape. And so the drowning
man rapidly surveys his stock of knowl-
edge and his storehouse Of experience
in the interest of prolonged life. Things
he has not recalled for years are now
revived. The awful moments are full.
They stretch out in their fullness; they
seem like hours In his excitement he
loses trace of the actual passing OF
time. When he has escaped he imagines
that he has actually relived his past.

Art of Leftover Dressmaking

over or thrown away. And so no mat
ter how reasonable ready made clothes
become, leftover dressmaking will stu
be a worth while practice.
Especially important is the art OF
leftover dressmaking in the family
where there are children. Dresses that
are too short or too old-fashioned, or
even too worn in spots to be OF any use
as they are, often provide material
enough for a dress or an apron Tor one
of the younger members of the family.
Here is a little apron that you can
cut from any cotton material for the
baby.
Here are the measurements for a
baby und year old. You can very
easily enlarge them to make the little
pinafore for an older child:
ALB is 9 inches, AID is 4 inches, GB
is 2 inches, BJ is Is inches, BI Is 10.
BIC is Az, BF is az, &c is S inches ana
HI is 6la or 7.
Draw a curved line from G TO +,
frcm d to E, from H to j. And draw
a Straight line from to H, or one
curving just a little. This is the front.
FL should be on a lengthwise fold, and
AG should be on a croSSwiSe fold.
For tn back, which extends just be-
low the arms, the dotted line from b to
C marks the lower edge. b Is p inches
from E. The neck line at the back is
higher than at the front and is marked
by Ga. a is inches from r. Instead
of folding the material croSSwiSe for
AID, and then lengthwise, you can make
the pattern of back and front to-
gether, opening it out at AG, and then
cut the whole apron on a lengthwiSe
fold from C to F and F to j.

She should volunteer TO write an ad

Hair on the Face.

The question of the removal of
superfuous hair from face or body
comes up again and again in my
correspondence from readers of this
column. When the hair appears over
the bridge Of the nose or on the
upper lip or chin it presents an en-
barrassing beauty problem that can
not be overlooked.
What causes the excess hairs? Is
there anything a person can do to
check the growth? The answers to
both these questions cannot be very
definite. Hereditary factors and gland
disturbances are considered the chief
causes Of the condition in pronounced
cases. The average case of Superhuous
hair, however, is not abnormal. There
are countless women whose faces ex-
hibit more than the usual light downy
growth. But they are in no other way
different from women with compare
lively hairless faces.
The question is often raised as to
the effect Of applications of greasy
