6 THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA, JU LY 16, 1903, DRESS HINTS. Don't wear pink and scarlet if the hair Is frankly red. Green and white are the colors, Don't in hnge In many flowers, feathers and tlares if you possess much height, weight and color, Don't always wear red if you are a brunette, or think blue the only color for blonds. Reverse the order, Don't wear black, mauve or green ir the hair is black and the complexion swarthy. Yellow, scarlet and pluk should be chosen, Don't count that time lost which spent in studying the effects of har monlous colors. Color is of prime im- portance In dress, Don't hesitate to sacrifice a bargain and shut your eyes to hats that are “dreams,” if you want to make a pleas. ing picture of yourself, Don't wear a hat that too closely follows the outline of the face if the face is round and plump, It suggests the framing of the full moon. Don't choose delicate shades of pink, too ju blue, If the eyes are blue, the halr clear.—Exchange. ! High Heeled Shoes, great Injury. From the standpoint the harm done is In con- stant evidence. In the first place the muscles of the then the whole body is thrown out of balance. The weight of the body is not distributed properly. This results in the abdomen being tilted forward so that the muscles are strained in a manner that Indirectly impairs the general health of the entire system. A constant nervous strain comes from this throwing the body out of proper position; for all women try to keep thelr equilibrium, and the struggle be tween nature and the abnormal shoe's inclination is disastrous. Then a wo man who wears high heeled shoes can not walk any distance. Lack of ex ercise 1s a result, and the health re ceives another Injury. Of course the fact that a high hecled shoe cripples the foot is obvicus, but the effect upon the general health is more serious than many imagine.—Dr. Cyrus Edson in New York World. Girls and Sewing. In spite of the advent of the sewing machine we ought to teach our little girls to sew. Every day the little one should devote a short time to the use of the needle. At first, no doubt, it may be considered a trial until pressure of a skillful handling of the needle can be felt. But may not the training of character also be going on while the little fingers patiently work at “over and that will not look even or hemming that seems so end less? Those poor little fingers will be often plerced. Tears perhaps will be shed when Imperfect work Is picked out, but if with the effort such quali ties as attention and accuracy are de still he over” virtues of lifelong need, patience and perseverance, is not the result well worth the dally discipline? In due time there will come, too, the joy which work well done brings to the worker as a rewnrd for our palnstak- ing little women Borax In the Home. Borax water Is a good thing to have about the washstand. It is easily made. Pour a pint of bolling water over six tablespoonfuls of powdered or crystal'lzed borax and let it get | cold, then strain and bottle. The water | will take Just about this amount of borax, this being a saturated solution Keep well corked so no dirt can enter. When washing in bard water add a spoonful of this solution, and the water | will be smooth and pleasant, besides | helping the little sore or inflamed places which are so apt to come on the | hands when doing housework Pour some on your toothbrush and it will help whiten the teeth, If the teeth are bad or the mouth sore or “bad tasting,” a teaspoonful of borax water diluted with twice as much water makes a healing and sweetening mouth ‘wash. Headache, The ordinary feminine headache will be greatly relieved and in many cases entirely cured by removing the walst of one's dress, knotting the halr high up on the head out of the way and, while leaning over the basin, placing A sponge soaked in water as hot as it can be borne om the back of the neck. Repeat this many times, also applying the sponge behind the ears, and the strained muscles and nerves that have eaused so much misery will be felt to relax and smooth themselves out delicicusly and very frequently the pain promptly vanishes in consequence, A Kitehen Convenlenoe. Blates have gone out of schoolroom use altogether in enlightened commu- nities, but they are still convenient things to have In the household. A slate in the kitchen once used becomes A necessity. On it may be jotted down the amount of ice taken, the extra milk and cream ordered to be paid for with the weekly reckoning, kitchen wants, the time the cake went Into the oven, memoranda of all kinds. A small slate In the sewing room is also f convenience, Woman's Progress, The Independence of the Ameriean and English woman, for a long time regarded as a scandal on the conti nent, In time came to be envied and Is now being emulated everywhere.

Greasy preparations used too freely on the face will cause the growth of that much dreaded down. A toothbrush should always stand so that It will drain wheu not In use and It should be exposed to the alr, A nightly massaging of the forehead with the tips of the fingers will do wonders In smoothing out wrinkles, Don't use lemon juice too often on the hands. Try white vinegar instead Lemon juice shrivels and yellows the surface, Cold cream rubbed around the nails will counteract the tendency to crack and will keep the skin around the nalls soft and fresh looking. One dram of boric acld mixed with four ounces of distilled witch hazel makes a good lotion for a greasy skin. Apply with a soft cloth or velvet sponge. For dry hair an effective wash Is one part glycerin to three parts rose water, with five grains of salt of tartar to about one-half pint of the lotion. All lotions must be well shaken before | using. | The following is a thoroughly reli- able prescription for blackheads: White precipitate, one dram; cold | cream, one ounce. Mix thoroughly and apply to the face twice daily. It will remove the blemish. Girls as Wage Earners, This idea that women should seek to become wage earners, should work for money, is not one to be dismissed with a mere phrase or two. Its growing ef fects are too pernicious to admit of that. The conditions which confront us are so different from the theories with which advocates of the economic independence of women seek to dazzle us as to demand reconciliation. One would suppose, to hear the argu ment for it, that there is something di rectly ennobling In such wage earning. Its adv to hold the idea that the business world opens up vis tas of intellectual advancement and enfranchisement Any one who has ever watched the stream of girl tollers pouring down the minor avenues at 6 o'clock or who has made a study of their Industrial pur suits can judge how far they are ele vated or by their employ- What we need Is a reaction against the madness of destruction that has of late years turned our girls into wage earn- ers. — Household. some ocntes seem likely to be ment and its remunerations tel sOCIal House Cleaning Hints, If In preparing for settling of a new house, or the cleaning and of old, housewife sees to it that all her tools and cleaning pupplies are in readiness * § he cleaning and readjustment the the an incalculable amount of time and strength will be saved. An excellent plan Is to make an {itemized lst of necessaries before “tearing up,” and then see to It that everything Is on hand. Nothing is more vexatious than to find out after getting in working trim that there is no carpet thread for the long rip that must be mended be fore the carpet can be lald, no fresh paper for the pantry shelves, no tacks, a misplaced carpet stretcher, no soap, ammonia or bh, a shortage in cleaning cloths, no stepladder: than all, a marked deficit in the food supply, says the Philadelphia Inquirer If work Is to be done to advantage the workers must eat. and yet they cannot stop to do much cooking Neither is it always convenient to run out to the bakery or delicatessen, though it may be on the next corner stove polis worse Character Bullding.

Remember that nothing will beautify your after life more powerfully than your loyal devotion and affection to home Tennyson says, “Better not be at all than not be no- ble,” and certainly It is In trying to be noble that we accomplish the best results, Girls Should Remember That the home kitchen, with mother for teacher and a loving, willing daugh- ter for a pupll, Is the best cooking school on earth. That true beauty of face is only pos tible where there Is beauty of soul manifested In a beautiful character. That the girl everybody likes is not affected and never whines, but is Just ber sincere, earnest, helpful self. And, finally, that one of the most beautiful things on earth Is a pure, modest, true young girl—-one who is her father's pride, her mother's comfort, her brother's Inspiration and her sis ter's ideal-which girl we should all try to be. Window Minds, Objection is sometimes raised against the use of holland or other cotton blinds on the score that they soon sell and spoll or run up In washing. There Is no need to bave them washed, as there Is a much simpler way of clean. Ing them. The blind should be spread flat on a table and well rubbed all over with bread crumbs, This will make it look quite clean and fresh.
