FOR THE LADIES,
FRESHER UP THE FACE AT NOON,
Take in your bag, along with your
Bunch, a little vial of glycerine and, if
you can afford it, rose water as well. At
moon you will find that it pays to freshen
up your face by moistening the skin with
the water, adding a touch of the glycerine
and another dust down with the puff.
All this sort of thing is so restful to a
tired woman. Try to arrange so that
the midday snack will contain something
that is a trifle strengthening at ieast.
I could write a chapter on this subject
if 1 had time.
SHOWY
The showy pics are a feature of the
new millinery. Long stick Pins have
heads of jet that are veritable clubs,
pear-shaped and faceted. There are
rhinestone heads of the same shape.
Generally, two of such pins are used to-
gether, crossed in front or thrust in
where the trimming most needs them.
The very large stones in every gem color
are used in pins and are set in jet, and
straw, and net, for tiny bonnets. The
pins made of these stones have the gem
variously set, perhaps circled with a
gold equator, or set in the centreof a
square of jet.— New York Times,

THE CHANCE TO MARRY,
A woman's chance to marry at from
15 to 20 years of age is said to be 144

it diminishes to 18: from 30 to 435, to

heretofore has been solely owned by the

at first it may seem a menial position,
but when one considers that there is no

There is no royal road to learning, and
to be a thoroughly competent nurse a
woman must have a training that will
fit her to cope with the ailments and dis-
cipline of the little ones under bar care,
says the Philadelphia Times.
When a true woman considers the trust
that is placed in her by the mother who
gives over her baby to her charge, there
can be no position more honorable or
worthy than that of child's nurse. An
infant is far too precious a thing to be
tampered with by inexperienced or
ignorant people. There is the mind as
