Milady's Toilet Table
Moles and warts are a serious blemish
on an otherwise pretty skin. These are
sometimes merely dlscolorattons, and
sometimes covered with a hairy growth.
As the coloring matter lies deep below
the skin, a scar remains If they are re
moved by a knife or hot iron.
Electric treatment Is the best, and does
not harm the skin if properly applied. If
this Is not available, large pendant warts
may be removed by winding around them
a slUc or silver thread, and after they
drop off cauterizing the spot with sliver
nitrate. Common warts may be removed
by repeatedly applying strong acetic acid,
caustic potash, nitric acid or hydro
chloric add.
All these remedies are liable to leave a

Ideas in Idleness
Ko woman has a right to expect a man
to tell professional secret.
Every day should be a step toward
Warning something. Irnoranc Is the
Mackeat vice.
Johnson say there are two aina oz
knowledge, First, to know a thing your
e!t; oeoondly, to know where to find It.
People nowadays expect io gainer ns
from thistles. They blame the intellectual
girl because she cannot cook, and accuse
the stay-at-home girl of a lack of brains.
A thing of beauty may be a joy forever,
but we certainly get tired of wearing our
lilt aeason'i clothes.
"good time" and tho American woman
often trespasses on this Ingrained In
dulgence on tho part of husband, father
or friend.
The English girl, on the other hand,
has often to suppress her Individuality,
and her cherished ambitions, for the sake
of the male members of her family, most
of the money going to the education of
the boys.
As regnrtls freedom of friendship be
tween the sexes, the American girl has
cery liberty, and the tesult Is n health
camaraderie between tho young men and
girls.
The freo-nnd-easy manners of the aver
age middle-class American girl strike hei
English cousin as Just n. trifle abrupt nn,i
casual. The early upbringing of the
child Is responsible for this, combined
with the financial Independence pecullni
to tho average American girl. For tin
latter prefers to work Instead of staying
quietly In the monotony of homo all dnv
long. Sho goes to business and enjo
It, too.

woik, but here young wotnon of the mid
dle classes go to business literally In
thousands, and behind the counter of the
great department stores. In ofllces, and
in nil places of employment, the daugh
ters of well-off parents are to be found.
Tho disposition and characteristics of
the English girl differ from those of her
American cousin. She Is less worldly
wise, not nearly so sophisticated. Her
life Is In a way more sheltered, less In
tho glare of the footlights, as It wero!
For sho has loss freedom, and she has
to nccount for her movements to her
family circle In a way that the American
girl would not tolerate.
The brothers and the father of the
English girl show Just the glimmer of a
tendency toward "bossing" her! It seems
to me that In America, If there Is any
"bossing" doing, tho daughter of the
family takes the lead' Not so In Eng
land' The average maiden of America, seen
at her best, is most attractive also the
English girl. I must admit that, from
a personal point of view, I ,flnd both
very charming! ELLEN ADAIR.
THE HIGH COST OP LIVING
Mayor Mltchcl, of Now York, has taken
one very decided step toward eliminating
the much discussed high cost of living.
It is undoubtedly true that nearly every
housekeeper wastes money either through
her own carelessness or the dishonesty of
tradesmen. To counteract this, the May
or's food supply committee prepared
handbills on the subject. These were
not placed on doorsteps to be thrown out
as adxertlsements They were distrib
uted nmong school children with orders
to tnke them home.
The circular Is calculated to attract at
tention. .Such slogans as "Buy for Cash,"
"Don't Buy In Small Quantities If Yon
Can Avoid It," etc , contain much good
advice In a few words. Another pamph
let is gotten out by the same people and
will be mailed anywhere by request. It
Is called "What the Purchasing Public
Should Know."
One reason why money goes so qulcklv
for the housewife Is because of short
weight. When there Is only a little dif
ference she thinks It amounts to nothing.
Tet In a year an appreciable amount of
money haa been thrown away on "noth
ing." Every kitchen should have a set
of scales, and weights should be con
firmed. "Don't order by telephone." reads an
other line. "Go to the store and see
what you are getting." There you have
the advantage of quality and personal se-

Dark Fruit Cake
This recipe makes three largo cakes and
has been used for over 30 years by the
woman who took a blue ribbon on it
last year: Two pounds raisins, two
pounds currants, one pound citron, one
pound flour browned In oven, one pound
figs, two pounds shelled nuts, throe
fourths pound butter, one pound medium
brown sugar, one dozen eggs, two tea
spoons mace or nutmeg, two teaspoons
cinnamon, one teaspoon cloves, one tea
spoon soda, two teaspoons baking pow
der, one cup molasses, one wineglass fruit
juice Cream butter and sugar add eggs
well beaten, then flour with baking pow
der sifted through It. Mix soda In mo
lasses and add this and th wineglass of
fruit Juice. Roll fruit In one extra cup
of flour o that the partlclw will be
separated. Line cans with buttered
paper and bake an hour and one-half to
two hours In a very elow oven. If de
sired this cake may be made In on
large pan. In that case bake three to
four hours.
Sago Fruit Pudding
Take one breakfast cupful of sago, boil
fn wtvter until well cooked and one
pound of blackberries, which stew with
half a pound of sugar in half a pint of
water. Strain the juice off the black
berries through a strainer, add juice to
the sago, put Into a mold or basin until
nearly cold Turn out on a dish and put
blackberries round. Serve with boiled
custard.
The Attractive Woman
Who are the women who go sweet
heartleis through life? Are they the
plain, the foolish, the dowdy, the Inslg
nlflcant? By no means It M only neces
sary to glance around the circle of en
gaged and married women to disprove
this, for Ib it not patent to every one
that many of these ladles come from tha
ranks of the unintelligent, the incapable,
the silly and the plain-featured? And Is
It not equally clear that some of the best
looking, refined, clever and managing
women are neglected and overlooked by
menT One reason to account for this is
the lack of a certain "something" In them,
which "something" is none the less
powerful In attracting men, because It la
difficult to define.
Velvet Cream
Soak one-half box gelatin In one cupful
white grape juice two hours. Dissolve
over boiling water, but do not let boll.
Dissolve three tablespoonfuls sugar In the
gelatin. Remove from fire. When cooled
add juice of one lemon, then one pint
oream. Stir until quite cold. Strain Into
mold wet with cold water and put on Ice
to harden. Serve with plain or whlpr-d
cream.
lection, and It pays to get the name of
being particular.
Thero are .i good many tricks of the
trade women do not know. Butter Is
usually weighed in wooden dishes a good
Idea for the tradesman. The' weight
of the dish should be deducted from the
bill When packages are done up In stiff
colored paper such as coffee, sugar, etc.
the extra weight of paper means so
much less food.
Beware of the underprlced store. The
underprlced dealer Is not living under
any providential dispensation that en
ables him to get along without profits.
The oxcusn for this underselling Is no
dellery If you are oontent to go to
another storo and pay part of the expense
of a horse and wagon, do so. But don't
delude yourself Into thinking you are
getting "free delivery."

ATTRACTIVE COSTUMES FOR HALLOWEEN
For the Week-end Girl
Whon packing, always remember to put
the heaviest things In the bottom.
Ecnthg dresses, perishable waists and
nil such dainty things should bo put on
top where you enn reach them. Hang
them up as Boon as your trunks arrive.
A hat trunk Is not a necessity. Put
your hat on the top tray of your trunk
and secure it with push-pins to the bot
tom. Unless the brim Is white this will
do It no harm.
Stuff the bodices of waists, light dresses,
etc., with tissue paper. Roll the paper
Into light balls, never tightly. Tho re
sult should look like an article Just sent
from tlvo cleaners.
Feminine Sayings
A good dinner Is not to be despised aa
the avenue to a man's good graces.
A girl who "makes up" seldom does
much else.
Every man Is a child at heart. He Is
just as restless and as hard to entertain,
and reaches for every new toy.
The slender thread of "they Bay" has
been the executioner's rope for many a
reputation.
Pope says "Every woman Is at heart
a rake." Pope was a pessimist.
Tho professional optimist la the most
annoying creature on earth.
Why some girls go with some men will
always remain a question. "Each one to
his taste," said the old lady as she kissed
tho cow.
Roast Ham
A roast ham has a finer flavor than
boiled. ham, and will keep longer. Soak
the ham thoroughly for 12 hours, wipe
dry and cut away rusty parts. Cover
the ham with a flour-and-water crust,
taking care that It Is of sufficient thick
ness to keep In the gravy. Place In a
steady oven and bake for four hours.
If You Would Have a Love y Skin
Good health Is the only lasting prescrip
tion for a good skin. Cosmotlcs and
lotions will do no good If the real trouble
Is lack of exercise, sluggish liver or a
disordered stomach. One must feel well
before one can look woll, for nature Is
not a deceiver.
In the first place, avoid Indigestion.
Your stomach will very soon Inform you
of the foods It cannot dispose of If you
take them often Be very decided about
avoiding them. Don't form the habit of
taking something which disagrees with
you "just this once." Tea and coffeo
should bo foresworn entirely; but If this
Is too rigid, twice a day is the maximum
Do not take these too hot, as this la
very bad for the stomach.
Many girls lunch dally on a dish of
loa cream or some candy. A sallow.
Dangers of Holiday Packing
Holiday makers are apt to wonder why
they so often develop a cold In the first
day or two of the holiday. It la usually
ascribed to a draught in the train, but
far more probably tha holiday cold Is
due to careless packing.
The unthinking packer will put hand
kerchief next to dirty boots and shoes
or dusty clothes laden with catarrh
produclng microbes, for even a "cold In
the head" Is due to a specific germ, and
naturally, when the handkerchiefs are
used. Infection Is highly probable.
There are still more serious dangers
in careless packing Handkerchiefs and
underllnen may become Infected with
consumption germ from soiled boots and
dusty clothes
Hair, shaving, and tooth brushes that
have not been kept well away from any
thing likely to harbor germs may easily
convey horrible skin and other dls-
In packing, handkerchief, underllnen,
and toilet articles should be effectively
protected from possible contamination
from boots and clothes. Boots should, If
-possible, be packed by themselves.
Delicious Toasted Cheese
.Cut two ounces of cheese Into thin
slices, put Jt into a saucepan, set it on
the fire and add one-half pint of fresh
milk. Simmer It till the cheese Is quite
dissolved, then take It from the fire and
pour It Into a shallow dish. When cooled
a little add the yolk of an egg. well
beaten, then place before the fire and

The Csarm of Cheese
Thero are so many delightful ways of
preparing cheese these days without
cooking It. The cheese cult, like a tasto
for olives, must be cultivated, only cheese
offers greater variety.
Roquefort relish, for instance, is made
out of roquetort, with celery chopped
fine and seasoning.
Cream Swiss Is n decided novelty. It
la made of tho Imported Swiss made In
the consistency of butter. This may be
spread on bread or crackers. Pistachio

a delicious tea wafer.

habit of getting up late, then rushing
off without any breakfnst, or none to

this In their faces. The midday meal
need not be heavy a salad, a pattle, a
light dessert, a glass ot milk Is enough.
