VENICE ANDjqOLA
1 The Lure of Sunny Styes and Sleeping Palaces
They met In Venire after ninny, many i his eyes from scanning her charming
years-Viola and her one-tlmo friend, the '. ? thought she looked a little

Viola had never looked more beautiful
than on that sunny morning In the old
Italian city, for the ilrst time she had
discarded the mourning she had worn
so long, mid now was lrosed In a simple
white sergo suit, with a large bunch of
Violets fastened In the front. Beneath her
email felt hat. also of white, her pretty
faco glowed like a morning rose.
Iter beauty-loving nature reveled In the
warmth and colrr of the scene. The
changing lights of Venice are most magi
cal. No other city In the world owns
quite the same I.Ike a mirage of marble
In the waters of an iizuro rca the domes
and cupolas of Venice rise.
Viola halted by the l'iazzcttft and gave
a tiny sigh of happiness.
"Oh, It is grand to lie alive!" said she
aloud. "This Is a morning that some poet
wrote about, I think 'when to be oung
Is very heaven!" I know now what ho
meant "
Her thoughts flow back to other days,
and a quick shadow crossed her little
face. The long, sad vears of her unhappy
, marriage rose before her and the sun
light seemed to shine less kindly than
before. She gae a little shudder, as If
an ley hand had touched her heart.
"Why can I not forget the paf" said
she. "I want some share of happiness
to come to me before my youth has
slipped away! I am not so very old
Just 28."
She clghed again, and her eye wandered
to ,th broad Canalo dl San Marco. A
'Aauro that seemed oddly familiar was
stepping out of a gondola and paying
the handsome dark-eyed gondolier. She
watched his leisurely approach. Where
had she seen that easy carriage and thoso
square-cut shoulders? Surely, surely
Yes, It was he, the Bachelor of "ones
upon a time." He looked at hor as If she
were a ghost.
"Why, Viola. Is thl a dream?" cried he.
"Or Just a delightful reality?"
They talked unceasingly for quite an
hour. So manv things had happened to
', htm during the years of her unfortunito
r marriage with the Italian nobleman. He
had gained honors In his Harvard course j
nnd was the head of a flourishing legal
firm in Philadelphia.
"How does the dear old city look?" said
she eagerly. "I have not seen It for so
many years!"
"I guess it keeps Improving all the
time," the other said He could not keep
Milady's Toilet Table
However regular your features may be.
unless you take care of your complexion
they will not show.
The skin consists of two layers, the
true skin, lying underneath, and the cu
ticle, which covers and protects It. Any
check In the natural processes of the
skin produces spots and blotches very
disagreeable to have, and more so to
look at.
The use of enamel and skin varnish Is
most destructive, ns they block up the (
pores completely
Another cause of injury to the snsl
tlve skin Is so-called "hard" water. Lime
and magnesia combine with the fatty
acid in the soap, causing a greasy sub
stance to All the pores. They crack and
widen after a short time.
The remedy for this Is the use of pure
Almond meal. Instead of soap, and rain
water.
Never use the so-called "medicated"
soaps, compounded with tar, sulphur or
carbolic acid.
An excellent cleansing lotion consists of
Pure white wax I ounce
Spermaceti 2 ounces
Almond oil H pint
Glycerin 3 ounces
Cologne II drops
Do not apply this every night.
Care of the Eyelashes
No matter how beautiful the eyes may
be. unless the eyelasses are properly cared
for the effect is marred.
The loss of the eyelashes Is often caused
by the formation 'luring sleep of a greasy
paste which hardens on the lids. When
this Is carelessly pulled off the laahes go
with It
The remedy Is to wneh gently every
morning In cold water or a boradc acid
solution.
The dally use of a bit of vaseline rubbed
Into the eyebrows Is considered stimu
lating to their growth. Care should be
taken not to get this into the eyes, how
ever, as It Is very Irritating.
Wild eyebrows or too full ones may be
removed by using tweezers. Hub a little
cold cream In after the operation.
To Make Butter Go Farther
Place half a pound of butter ln a.
basin and add gradually a third of a
pint of new milk, beating it with a
fork. If carefully done all the milk will
be absorbed In the butter, thus making
It go farther This is much better thun
buying Inferior butter.
Economical Pudding
Toast some thin slices of stale bread
julte brown and put in a dish with Jam
between. Make a good custard with an
egg and sufficient milk to fill the dish,
adding a tablespoonful of sugar. Let the
custard cool, pnur it over the toast, ami
stand for 20 minutes. 'Then put a little
dripping on the top, put In the oven and
take a golden brown.
Walnut Creams
Half a pound of shelled walnuts to
one pound of Icing sugar, and the white
of one egg. Mix the sugar with the
white of egg to a stiff paste, then roll
with the hands into small balls, and
press a walnut each side of a ball Put
on a plate until set. These require no
cooking.
That Was Why
"Tell me about your aunt, old Mrs.
Blank. She must be rather feeble now,"
said the man who had returned after a
long absence. "We buried her last year,"
said the other. "Burled her? Dear me!
Is the old lady dead?" "Yes; that's why
We burled her " was the response.
When Washing Woolens
In washing wuolvn garments, to avoid
shrinkage put a sufficient quantity of
soap In warm water, adding a little sm-

Interrupt the silence of the moonlit night

did not come easily to them. They know

tell me If you care at all for me?"
"You know that I have alwajs cared!"
said she, tears in her pretty ces, but

The End.
Conquer Yourself
Kep always uppermost in your mind
the thought that you are going to suc
ceed. Clos your ears to any voice that
tell" you differently. No one ever made
a success who was afraid of failure.
Poubl In th heart weakens energy, and
makes effort lifeless and hopeless. In
th majority of cases It Is true that ho
can who thinks he can. Half the battle,
and the most Important half. Is within
your own heart. Conquer yourself, nnd
outside obstacles will seem easy by com
parison. Jlost people who rail are ren
dered failures, not becauso of some dlflV
cuUv encountcr(:d ln the orld wthout.
but because of some weakness In the
world within.
How to Make the Groceries
Last
To save the flour, when making a pud
ding or pie, ndd three-quarters of a
pound of cold mashed potatoes to every
two pounds of flour, mixing in well. Tho
crust will he lighter, and less fat will be
required. To make the tea last longer,
before using spread It on a sheet of pa
per, and put It In a warm oven for ten
minutes. Tills will bring out the flavor
and less tea will be required. To save
buying egss for cakes, use a tablespoon
ful of glycerine to every pound nnd a
half of flour, and the cako will be lovely
and light. To make the candles burn
longer, sprinkle some salt round the
wicks. The light will be steady and tho
candle will last a long time.
What Other Women Do
Boston has a school where women who
wish to take up the new occupation of
guiding children In their choice of trado
can study and equip themselvej for this
kind of work.
Mrs. Ituth Bryan Owen, daughter of
Secretary of State Brynn, and whoso hus
band Is an officer In the Brilisi army,
is actively engaged In relief wo. I; In Eng
land. The Women's Board of the Tinama Ex
position at San Francisco Is working on
two very vital projects. One Is a protect
ive association for women and thu other
a monument to motherhood.
Mrs. Anna May Elliston, who is the
buyer for a large fruit and produce firm
at Moneta, Cal., has made purchases
since taking her position four ears ago
amounting to over 11,000,000.
Miss Katherine Ommerev, of Greeley,
Col., star athlete and expert tennis play
er, has gone to Hawaii, where sh! will
act as professor of English In the Hono
lulu High School.
Los Angeles policewomen will hence
forth wear uniforms, discard Jewelry,
sheer silks, high heels and aigrettes
In their hats and stroll the streets In
sombre Inconsplcuousness.
Vegetable Soup
This may be made with water or with
stock made from boiling a broth bone and
a small ham bone ln plenty of water.
Two parts of liquid are needed for this
recipe. Put one ounce of dripping In a
deep saucepan, and. when It Is hot, add
one carrot, one onion, one potato, a few
stalks of celery, all cut small, and a tea
cupful of turnip cut small also. Sprinkle
in a teaspoonful of sugar, and let all
slightly brown. Now add two quarts of
stock or water and one pound of rice.
Let all simmer for two hours and press
through a wire sieve or a colander. Re
turn to the saucepan, with a seasoning
of salt and pepper, and serve with toasted
bread.
Re-enameling a Bath.
To enamel a bath you must buy the
proper bath enamel. Wash the bath thor
oughly with soap and water and rub all
ovir with sandpaper to make the surface
smooth before using the enamel. Heat
the enamel slightly by standing the tin
In a bowl of hot water before using, this
thins It and It Is easier to apply. The
bath will need two or three coatings, and
each must be allowed to dry before the
next U applied.

SEPARATE COAT OF CONSERVATIVE STYLE
DO YOU BELONG TO
A WOMAN'S CLUB?
By MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK
Author The Xcw Housekeeping.
There was
at the then
a day when many scoffed
newly developed organiza
tions of women's clubs. That day has
long since pased. and the woman's club
has unquestionably "mado good." But
In spite of this. I know dozens of wom
en all over tho country who do not Join
a woman's club, because they do not
feel that It would bring them any help
In their problems of homemaklng.
Waving aside the benefit It is to any
woman to ufTlUnte herself with a group
of women because of th stimulus, con
tact and new viewpoint, the homemaker
Is the very woman most benefited by the
efforts of women's clubs. While t-ome or
ganizations devote themselves to tho
problems of the business or working girls,
tho bulk of tho problems dlscUFsed by
women's clubs eerywhere are problems
of the homemaker.
There Is, for Instance, the great ques
tion of pure foods pure milk unadul
terated candles. Various women's clubs
throughout tho country take up first one
phase of the question and then another.
Terhaps It was wrapped bread or a cru
sade ngalnst short weights or a cam
paign ngalnst loose milk. In one way or
another, women's clubs have stood by
tho pure food movement, and tho result
Is that the housewife has benefited
through more stringent laws, more ade
quate Inspection and an awakened pub
lic conscience.
Another point of attack for women's
clubs has been Increased happiness for
children. Some organizations have worked
for better labor laws and the prevention
of child labor in factories. Others have
struggled for playgrounds for city chil
dren or "sea-breezo vacations" for the
Gems of Thought
'l like not only to be loed, but to be
told I am loved, calm of silence Is large
enough beyond the grave."
V
"What Is love? I think the genuine
article Is wise, unselfish interest In other
people's welfare; Interest In other lives
than my own; It Is to be happy In their
happiness. If I have but little happiness
of my own, this is one way to borrow
some by being glad In the gladness of
others."
"The trouble. I think, with us all
Is the lack of a high conceit;
If each man thought
He was sent to the spot
To make It a bit more sweet,
How soon we could gladden the world,
How easily right all wrong,
If nobody shirked
And each one worked
To help his fellows along."
"If I were you I should not worry.
Just make up your mind to do better
when you get another chance. One can't
do moro than that. This Is what I think:
That God will give each of us another
chance, and that eaoh one of us will
take It and do better I. and you and
every one."
The Scale Trick
"Your daughter's music Is improving,"
said the profsor. "But when ehe plays
the scales I have to watch her pretty
closely "
'Just like her father," answered Mrs.
Nuritch "He made his money In the
grocer business "

sick. Other school problems (which are
also home problems, havo been studied by
women's clubs with the result of closer
understanding between parent and teach
er, school board and child.
Still another line of activity of
women's clubs has been ln the textile
fields, all a part of the larger work of
sanitation, both for the worker and tho
home which receives his work. The efforts
toward abolishing sweatshops, of fair pay
for reasonable work, the tracing of the
labtl In garments made under sanitary
conditions, of efforts for a pure textllo
law nil theye are measures fostered by
women's clubs.
Thete are only a few of tho big fields
whloh I have called the "larger homo
making" sanitation, education, una
dulterated foods, fair treatment of work
ers, co-operation In marketing and dis
tributing. Short-sighted, Indeed, Is the
woman who feels that she can gain
nothing by Joining a club with any of
theso objects. Every homemnker can re
ceive much from being a member, and,
better yet, a strong worker ln an organi
zation of women. Each club has com
mittees, some on one topic, some on
another, Rnd by Hervlng on such a com
mttUe the housewife cannot help but at
tain a new viewpoint and find herself
linked to the great movements going on
which concern her and about which she
may otherwise know little. There Is some
place for you In some woman's club.
What you receive from It will depend
very largely on what you havo to give
nnd on the spirit of Interest you put Into
It yourself. The women's clubs extend
a welcoming hand to you, the home
maker. Will you not take It?

Around the Kitchen
If you burn coal, see that the stove Is
thoroughly cleaned out In the morning
before a fresh fire is started. In no other
way can you secure a clear, bright fire
during the day
Be sure the ashes are sifted, and Bllghtly
dampen the cinders before using them,
for this promotes combustion.
Every kitchen should have a reliable
clock The reason why some homes have
"meals at all hours" is not always at
tributed to the real culprit. People blame
tho maid, and If her mistress Bhould sup
ply her with a reliable clock, much
trouble would be saved
If you re not fortunate as to have an
experienced cook, try this method of
training the beginner. Make a list of the
time required to cook meats, vegetables,
soups, etc., from some good cook-book.
Hang It In the kitchen where she can
consult It.
Teach cleanliness In your kitchen. Have
a clean roller-towel, a brush for scrub,
blng vegetables cooked ln their skins, a
r-alr of clean scissors for opening flsh and
fowl.
Keep a needle, coarse thread, thimble,
etc , at hand for the "stitch In time" so
necessary to prolong the life of aprons,
tea-towels, tablecloths and napkins.
Have a small box at hand containing
hammer, tacks, picture wire. These may
seem unnecessary, but they will prove In
valuable at the right moment.
Sweetbreads and Mushrooms
Take one pound of fresh mushrooms,
peel and use the tops only the stems
may be used In soup. Fry to a delicate
brown In butter, seasoned with pepper
and salt. Have ready a pair of sweet
breads that have been parboiled and
blanched, dlco and mix with the mush
rooms Make baskets of good pastry,
shaping over patty pans; fill them with
the mixture, sprinkling a little grated
cheese on top and pinching on the hand!.
Bake IS minutes, serve on a, dolly and
garoUh with a spray of fresh ere.
MODES OF
THE HOUR
Season of the Top Coat So Con
spicuous Is Its Cut That the Skirt
Is of Minor Importance Fur for
Trimmings.
This Js tho season of the lop coat, and
It Is ciWtao conspicuous and Its details
so Interesting that the skirt worn with
It Is a matter of minor Importance.
It Is seen In velvet and In all tho heavy
woolen materials, ln black and In color,
and even In the striped and checked
effects. ,
Certainly tho Ingenuity of tho designers
has been taxed to Its uttermost, for an
afternoon stroll down n crowded thor
oughfare would hardly reveal two coals
cut out of the same cloth or af.tcr the
same pattern.
Occasion?.. .y there seems to be neither
rhyme nor renson for their existence,
unless warmth nlone will Justify It, for
fancy has run amuck and produced od
dities appropriate for a costumo dance.
But, on the whole, this Is only the occa
sional garment; tho gieat majority aro
really beautiful nnd extremely grncoful
ln the rippling fulness of their lines.
Fur Is featured to such an extent that
all tho shops aro showing wide bands of
fur ln tho season's favorites, suitable
for collars nnd cuffs nnd girdles nnd for
tho edge of tho full skirt. .
Tho coat sketched today Is mado of
velvet In tho shade of green that Is ono
of tho running favorites. It combines
wonderfully with skunk, nnd this Is worth
mentioning because, although fur Is Used
lavishly, It Is applied with the nicest dis
crimination In regard to the color scheme.
It Is ono of the open-throated models
that has not been vanquished by tho In
creasing voguo of tho close-fitting coat
and tho banded collar.
The fact that It is conservative rather
than pronounced In any featuro Is great
ly In Ub favor. Fashion Just now Is like
a moving picture that Is Bhowing at ac
celerated time. Thero are certain styles
created by great fashion artists that will
run tholr allotted course, but thero aro
also many whims nnd fancies, perhaps the
vonturlngs of tho lesser lights nnd It
would bo hnrd to prophesy Just what
hold they will take on tho public or how
secure It will be.
There Is ono consideration that brings
much comfort In Us train, where these
big, loose-fitting garments are concerned.
Tho fulness of the skirts has reached n
point whero the change that must come
In time will probnbly mean a decrease
In size and it is so much easier to take
out than to add to.
The belt Is a pleasing feature of the
coat pictured. It controls the fulness
of the coat nnd designates tho waist
line, the nattiiil waist In this Instance.
The skirt worn with tho coat Is chosen
with a view to color harmony. It Is of
ono of the lighter shades of brown and
there Is not a shade's difference between
the color of the skirt nnd that of the
cloth uppers of tho boots.
It appears that we must have either
few frocks or many shoes nowadays.
The smart effect that these gaiter boots
give. In blues or browns or grays that
Just match the skirt, Is very desirable.
It adds considerably to the expense of
nn outfit, but It Is worth the money to
oil thoso who can afford It.
The Removal of Wrinkles
Wrinkles and crow's feet are tho bug
bears of the elderly woman. They aro
caused by the shriveling up of the sub
cutaneous fat of the cheeks and brow.
A well-known doctor believes that If
tho following treatment bo used, wrin
kles will be averted a long time:
Having slightly oiled the fingers, rub
the fnco gently ln the direction contrary
to the ono the wrinkles aro threatening
to take. Do this for five minutes dally,
oiling the lingers as often as necessary.
A product called wool-fat Is the actual
gloss or fatty matter from the hair and
skin, Isolated by n special process. This
Is very valuable, as the skin greedily ab
sorbs this, and It Is very efllcactous In
preventing wrinkles.
Free exposure to extreme heat and cold
Is to be carefully avoided, or wrinkles
will result.
The lines extending across tho fore
head, nnd from nose to mouth, may be
made less prominent by massage, but
they depend upon the Individual. Do not
frown or grimace; In short, look pleasant,
and peoplo won't notlco the lines.
WOMAN OUTSIDE THE HOME
AROUND
The riastlc Club held the first of Its
current events meetings Wednesday aft
ernoon. It has a very sensible arrange
ment, giving alternate Wednesday after
noons to pleasure nnd to business. This
Is followed by tea.
The topic of Interest was the recital of
the experiences of members who were
abroad this summer. The assembly hall
was comfortably filled, and all listened
with Interest while Mlsi Emily Sartaln
and Mrs. Carroll Williams told their ex
citing adventures.
Cordiality Is the watchword In this little
club. It also shows a great many Im
provements. The Phllnmustan Club Is closely con
nected with the women's club movement.
Few clubs are more philanthropic ln their
alms than this one. The Consumers'
League, that valuable organization for
the protection of the shopgirl, is affil
iated with the Phllomustan. Others are
the Travelers Aid Society, the Asso
ciated Committee of Police Matrons, the
American nnd Pennsylvania Peace Socle
ties, etc. There are departments for
muelc and literature, esthetics, dancing,
bocial functions, etc.
The new clubhouse Is charmingly fur
nished. Old rose hangings, terra-cotta
window-boxes, hardwood floors, a very
attractive little kitchen and a charming
little retiring room upstairs are some of
Its beauties. It is very popular for mid
winter dances, luncheons, bridges, etc.
The electrical fittings are handsome. Msr.
Harry Clark Boden Is president.
The winter's work at the Now Century
Club Is being planned, but on account of
the absence of some of Its members It
is not yet under way.
"Ours Is the oldest club ln the city. It
was originated In 1377 and Is an outgrowth
of the Centennial," said Miss Van Deusen,
the charming chairman. "We have de
partments for social, artistic. Intellec
tual and even musical advancement, you

THE TALKATIVE WOMAN
Ellen Adair Bclicoes Thai Brcoily Is the Soul of Wit
The wisest man Jhat ever lived asserted
that tho laughter of a fool Is as tho
crackling of thorns under a pot! Ho
might have well Included tho chatter of n.
foolish woman In the sweeping Blmlle.
The tongue Is an unruly member, nnd
this would appear to be tho case all too
frequently with women. On every hand
wo meet the talkative woman. She loves
to hear the sound of her own voice, nnd
Is quite Unhappy unless sho holds the
conversational field.
Unfortunately tho resultant boredom
that follows her around In not the only
evil bIio originates. She Is too often
sometimes quite unwittingly a mischief
maker! At best, sho gives away tho
secrets of herself nnd others wholesale.
Sho does not stop to weigh her words,
but her unruly tongue ahnrcs all the at
tributes of tho brook, and, despite the
fact that people como and peoplo try In
vain to go, runs on In ono continuous flow
of Idle chatterlngl
I often wonder If the loquacious woman
realizes the extent of the gratuitous In
formation Bhe gives the uninterested out
sider, more particularly on matters that
nre of a private and personal character.
The Fireless Cooker
Has Come to Stay
The flieless cooker Is coming Into Its
own. It heads the list as a labor-saving
device. Like most conveniences, It comes
at almost any price, from S3 up.
It consists of a modern adaptation of
the old-fashioned covered cabinet. In this
cain the cablnot Is of fine-grained, pol
ished onk. The Inside contains "wells"
made of thick, seamless aluminum. Tho
vessels aro set deep down In these wells,
tho heated, stove Is added and then tho
cooker Is closed.
It takes nbout twice the ordinary time
used by the gas or coal stovo to cook
things by the flrcless method. It 1b In
valuable for people who find It necessary
to bo away nil day, as things never burn.
Tho more expensive cookers show a va
riety of Improvements. Pie nnd cako
racks for tho expert manipulator, alumi
num compartment covers and stands to
do away with stooping nre very useful.
Tho slow-heating soapstone has also been
replaced by the nickel-plated radiator,
which Is safer and quicker.
A True Response
Professor (to graduating class In col
lege) Young men, there Is one more
question I would like to ask, and that Is,
what books have helped you most In your
struggles for nn education?
Young Scadds (promptly speaking up
from tho foot of tho class) Dad's check
book has helped mo about ns much as
any of 'em so far.
THE CLUBS
ing. Next month we are going to have
lectures on thiB subject and also mako
a study of plays dealing with social Jus
tice." The newest Innovation has been the
founding of a choral class. Practice for
this takes place every Saturdiy morning
at 11:30. Mrs. Herbert Fuller is chairman
of the music department and Miss Mar
tha Barry Is to be the choral director.
This Is a very novel and attractive Idea,
and deserves to succeed.
Educational, literary and art depart
ments are also Included In this versatilo
club. The president Is Mrs. H. Prentiss

Locust and Sixteenth Streets
At a reception the other day two
young women met each other for the
first time.
"I am so glad to meet you," said the
first; "I Just love meeting now people
but I get so little chanco to do so now
ndaysl My eldest sister had a threaten
ing of consumption and wo had to send
her up to the mountains, and that costa
such a lot that wo had to dismiss our
colored girl. So I do most of tho cook
ing myself, and that proventa me getting

Father gets so cross If everything Is not
JurI right!"
I could not help wondering If the young
woman realized how very thoroughly
she was exposing Intlmato family mat
ters to the veriest outsider. In a. sen
tence or two, she had revealed tho fact
thnt there was a hereditary nnd very
grave disease In her family, that her
father's disposition was not of the best,
and that tho finances of her family were
somewhat straitened.
One type of tho talkative woman li
attractive, and one typo only. She Is
rnthor rnro to find, however, and com
bines wit nnd bialns with her loquacity.
The latter Is a defect, for tho superfluity
of wit con be most tiresome. Let her
take "multum In pnrvo" for her motto
or, In plain English, brevity Bhould ever
bo tho soul of wit,
The Home of the Future
Tho salvation of homo life nt present
lies In the educated woman, the woman
with tho trained Intelligence, and with a
sympathetic nature. It Is the w'oman
who hnn got a sitfTlelontly intelligent out
look on llfo to bo familiar with Its prob
lems, and who Is ready to faco them
when they appear, who will Influence the
home. Sho Is the womnn who will mako
home what It should be a ground of
mutual support, mutual affection, mutual
understanding. Instead of a. desert oc
cupied by dlscontontod bouIs; a temple
of high endeavor ln the art of living In
stead of n barrack whoso centre of at
traction Is a well-laid nnd well-provided
table. Undoubtedly tho home life of the
future, to be preserved amid the clash
nnd frequent changes of modern exist
ence, will be thnt which Is controlled by
women of Intelligence.

A Passing Cloud
New grief, new tears;
Brief the reign of sorrow;
Clouds that gather with t'-o night
Scatter on the morrow.
Old grief, old tears;
Come and gone together;
Not n fleck upon the sky
Telling whenco or whither
Old grief, new tears:
Deep to deep Is calling;
Llfo Is but a passing cloud
Whenco tho rain Is falling.
In the Laundry
The best way to wash handkerchiefs
so that they do not discolor is to put
them the night before washing day In a
tub of cold water, to which you have
added a handful of salt. Then the next
day wash them out and put them on to
boll with n tnblespoonful of extract of
salt nnd n teaspoonful of orris root.
When they have boiled for some time
rinse In cold water and hang out to dry.
They will bo as white as snow and smell
delightfully of fresh violets.
Hot Water for Tiredness
If, after a hard day, you feel tlrod out
and lit for nothing, have a hot bath, to
which ammonia has been added In tho
proportion of n tenspoonful to a gallon,
the last thing before gottlng Into bed.
Don't stnv in the water more than ten
minutes nt the outsido; then, after a.
brisk rubbing. Jump Into bed 03 quickly
as possible.
