    Chance for All.
Thsre is no woman, no matter how
plain, who cannot he greatly Improved
by beautifying, by setting some good,
hard common sense ideas in her head
arc! living up to them. Beauty should
not bo the exception; it should bo tho
rule. If some other woman can be
clover, lovely, charming and sought af
ter, so can you. tiod gave us all the
same minds and hearts and what one
tan do another can accomplish. Good
ness, cheerfulness, love, sympathy, en
thusiasm, an weave halos for woman
and make her lovely to those who
know her. A great love for humanity,
a powerful realization of tho magnifi
cence of life ar.d the world and all
there is in it will make the most sim
ple person of dazzling loveliness.

i Signs of Long Life.
The woman who desires long life
must have eyes round and wide, rath
er than long and narrow, and If they
are brown or hazel life will be longer
than if they be black or violet
The brow must be ample and slope
back slightly from an absolute per
pendicular. Tho head must be wide
behind and over the eats.
The brow must be wide and full and
well set and the chin square and firm.
The nose must be wide and full
through its whole length, and have
open, easy, dilating nostrils. This In
dicates a good heart and good lungs.
If the orifice of the ear is low, in
dicating a deeply seated brain, there
Is a better chance of long life.
The woman who appears taller in
proportion when sitting down than
when standing has a good chance to
live long. If the body is long in pro
portion to the limbs, the heart, lungs
and digestive organs are largo. Chi

The Debutante's Gown.
It must he becoming.
It must be youthful.
Chiffon is soft and becoming, but
perishable.
Brussels net is more durable and as
attractive.
Net needs a quantity of lace trim

Bervlceablencss.
It cleans very well and can be dyed
for a second year.
Satin-finished crepe Is as soft and
pretty as the new crepes and less ex

White liberty satin Is extremely ef
fective and youthful looking fabric.
Liberty silk is pretty, but a poor In
vestment where economy is a factor.
Peau de sole in white may be worn,
but the colored silk is too old.
A white cloth costume will be useful
for many occasions later, and may be
draped softly, so as not to appear stiff.
Fashion snd Odd Moments.
There is abroad a false impression
that all women of fashion are but flut
tering butterflies. If the truth were
known we should find that these but
terflies do more good hard work than
we give them credit for.
Here is an instance of the diligence
of one society woman. On the tattle
of her living room stands a large
closed work basket. In this basket
are always kept a thimble, a needle,
thread and an unfinished bit of lin
gerie. This woman, always elegantly
gowned, apparently thoughtless and
superficial, makes for herself and
friends the most exquisite lingerie. It
Is all accomplished at odd moments,
too. Those moments ore the moments
which most of us waste hopelessly.
When she waits for the carriage, when
she waits for her guests, when she Is
a moment earl;' for dinner or lunch
eon, out comes the needle, the thim
ble and the cambric. How many or ua
do as much with the spare moments?
Wedding Customs.
Wedding customs are as subject to
change as those of fashion, and wtth
the first batch of the season's wed
dings there have been Inaugurated any
numbor of new fads and original Ideas.
First of all. It is no longer popular to
have a larse number of bridesmaids,
one reason beins that such a long
train of attendants detracts attention
from tho bride. Four may bo the
limit, and several winter brides ex
pect to have none but a maid of honor.
Again, house receptions, even when
thera is a crush at the church cere
mony, are often most informal. The
custom of paying one's social indebted
cess, by asking every one to the
church, reserving the reception -for
only intimate friends, is growing In
favor. There Is something particular
ly appropriate in a bride surrounding
herself with only her close friends up
on such an occasion, and that this
custom will be followed largely this
winter, even when there are ample ac
commodations for a crowd is already
evident.
The Idea of having the presents on
view the night of the wedding has fal
len Into disuse nowadays. Instead
for a couple of days before the cere
mony they are spread out at the
bride's homo for her intimate friends
to see. Cards, however, are always
removed.
There is a growing tendency to sim
plicity in the decoration of both
church and house at weddings. Green,
either of palms, smilax or asparagus
fern, is without doubt tho most effec
tive background, and for a flower dec
oration, nothing quite equals the rag
ged yellow chrysanthemums. Ameri
can beauty roses are effective for
house decoration, but other varieties
lack character.
As to tho marking of the trousseau,
practically the same style prevails
here as formerly, that is, the marking
of the garments and linen with the
bride's name, -though in England to
day the custom of using the husband's
names is becoming auito common.
Long ago ft was deemed highly un
lucky, indeed, almost improper, to em
broider or 'mark the bride's married
namo uson her trousseau linen and
upon that of the household, which, of
course, she supplied. Some people
even went so far as to declare that the
wedding would never come off if the
clothes were so narked. Then com
mon (sense stepped in and presented
the problem in a different light, point
ing out how very absurd it was for a
wife to retain upon her clothing her
maiden name, instead of that which
she bore as a married woman.
The very universal plan of sending
the linen to a laundry instead of hav
ing It washed and got up at home, as
was the general custom formerly,
made the change inevitable and now
all the laundry and house linen Is
marked with the husband's name. This
custom, universal in England though It
is, is not observed throughout Ameri
ca, where the old-fashioned plan of
marking the linen with tho maiden
name prevails.
The Dressing Table.
A visit to any drug store or depart
ment store will prove that the femin
ine world in America has gone beauty
mad. Counters are loaded with trifles
which will make a woman more attrac
tive if not more beautiful, and groom
ing is the craze of tho hour.
Among the complexion novelties of
fered this season is a vacuum mas
sage brush. This is built of rubber
with indentations the size of a hat pin.
It Is pressed against the face, and as
it is withdrawn, the suction fairly
lifts the flesh and stimulates the skin.
This is supposed to be helpful to the
woman who cannot afford the profes
sional masseur.
Rubber wash cloths, in the same
shape as the ordinary Turkish article,
have numberless little teeth scattered
over them, guaranteed to open the
pores of the face In the most approved
fashion. A trifle more compact are
the rubber wash cloths the size of a
hand, with straps across the back
which slip over the lower part of the
fingers, just as a curry-comb is used
by a horseman.
Jhe woman who washes to stimu
late ber hair buys a scalp sprayer.
This looks very much like a curry
comb with halt a dozen or more teeth
in highly polished nickel, attached to
a rubber bulb, such as Is seen on an
atomizer. Tho teeth are hollow and
are filled with hair tonic by compress
ing the bulb and then suddenly allow
ing it to expand. When the patient is
ready to spray her scalp, she runs
this comb through her hair, close to
tho skull, and presses on the bulb,
thus forcing the fluid straight into the
pores of the head. It is a much sim
pler process than rubbing tonic In
with the fingers, a brush or a sponge.
Another little beauty trinket which
will appeal to the tidy woman is a
comb cleaner which shows a pin and
a comb combined.
After the shampoo the hair will take
on a much more pleasant odor if
r.prayed with a delicate toilet water.
Tho newest atomizer for this purpose
has a cylindrical bottle with a screw
top head in gold, silver or nickel. By
pressing the centre of this top, a cir
cular piece the size of a nickel, springs
up. This connects with a concealed
rubber bulb, and by raising or lower
ing this central button, the fluid is
sont spraying out through a tiny hole
in the side or the top.
The modern toilet table is equipped
with many brushes, and these have
brought into favor dainty racks in
nickel, silver and decorated china.
One rack will bold the tooth and nail
brushes, a tiny brush for rubbing vas
eline Into the eyebrows at night, and
another for shaping them each time
tho toilet is made. It will r.lso hold
on one arm the silver spool of dental
floss for cleaning the teeth.
Every well-groomed woman takes
pleasure in running wash ribbons
through her underwear. The ribbon
should be purchased in several sizes,
as it does not look pretty if used in a
width too large for slipping easily
through the beadinz. To avoid curl
. lng or turning the ribbon, the shopper
can now buy a fiat bodkin with tine
teeth which catch the ribbon at either
edge and run It flatly through Un
, beadlaf.

Household Hints.
Always road the label on a bottle
before giving medicine.
Copperas dissolved in water is one
of the most valuable of disinfectants.
Do not put salt into soup until you
dre done skimming it, as salt will
stop the rising of the scum.
Boston baked beans can be greatly
Improved by adding a cup of sweet
cream the last hour of baking.
Vinegar added to sour milk for grid
dle cakes, etc., will cause it to foam
lighter in connection with the soda.
Furs that become greasy In wear
can be rubbed with turpentine pre
vious to cleaning them with warm
bran.
Copper and brass may be quickly
cleaned by dipping half a lemon in
fine salt and then rubbing over stain
ed objects.
The color of canned fruit Is quick
ly injured by action of light No mat
ter if it is kept in a dark closet, ev
ery jar should be wrapped in paper.
Carpets can bo both cleaned and
freshened by going over them once a
week with a broom dipped in hot
water that has a little turpentine in
it
A delicious warmed-over dish may
be made by mincing the cold remnants
of the call's head and heating them
in a sauce made with the liquor in
which tho meat cooked.
It is well to know that if salt fish is
wanted quickly the fi.sh is freshened
much sooner of soaked in milk, milk
that is turned being' as good for tho
purpose as the fresh milk.
For earache, Told a thick towel
around the neck and then with a tea
spoon fdl the ear with warm water.
Continue this for 13 or 2tf minutes,
then let the water run out and plug
the ear with cotton dipped in warm
glycerine.
Here is a wrinkle, says a late
English magazine, for cleaning lace3
at home. You must often have dis
palrcd of getting your lace that do
lightfully dingy yet clean color which
yon see in the shops. Make some
very weak tea and add a few drops
of India Ink (the best) to the tea. Dip
in your lace.
An excellent preventive of influenza
is said to be found in adding a few
drops of eucalyptus oil to every pall
of hot water used in cleaning the
woodwork of a house and to the wat
er in which the broom is frequently
dipped when sweeping carpets. Tur
pentine may be used if preferred In
place of eucalyptus. The whole house
In this way becomes disinfected.

Flreproofing Material.
You have probably heard the word
"asbestos" used In connection with
theatre curtnlns, and with various
methods of rendering a theatre or
other building fireproof. Asbestos is
a fibrous mineral that cannot be
burned. Chemically, it is a silicate of
lime and magnesium. When torn to
pieces In machines made for that pur
pose, it looks like a mass of cotton,
and these fibres can be Spun Into
threads or strings, and then woven
Into fabrics useful for various purposes.-

The Smart Twins.
"Well, there's one good thing about
Lyal having a black eye and Earl a
scratched nose," said the boys' Aunt
Jo to their Uncle Frank. "I'll be able
to tell them apart for a few days, un
til the result of their last battle wears
off."
"Whnt did they quarrel about thi3
time?" inquired Uncle Frank, who
took a lively interest in the little twin
nephews who were visiting nt tho
farm.
"Lyal wanted to go fishing In the
brook, but Earl Insisted It was more
fun to fish in the pond, so they used
their fists In settling the matter."
"Those boys fight altogether too
often." Uncle Frank had a worried
look on his benign face. ""I believe
I'll give them something to do, for
work's an excellent thing to keep folks
out of mischief, and I'll make tho pun
ishment fit the offense. I'm not going
to allow either of them to go fishing
again until they pick up all those
loose stones In the road, and put them
In a pile in the pasture."
When Earl and Lyal heard the de
cree their spirits fell. They obediently
put the fishing rods away and began
to pick up the stones from the road,
put them In to the spot In tho pasture
designated by their uncle.
Before they had worked long their
legs and backs began to ache, and the
twins sat down on a bank to rest.
"I don't think It's polite of Uncle
Frank to make us work when we're
visiting him," said Lyal, with a pout.
"Maybe It wasn't polite of us to
fight," remarked Earl, pulling a field
daisy to pieces.
"I've thought. of something!"
screamed the brother, dancing up and
down In the middle of the road.
"We'll put up a target by the stone
pile, and throw the stones at It In
stead of carrying them. Won't It be
fun?"
The other twin ar,s?nted eagerly, and
soon the stones were flying through
the air toward tho target at a lively
rate.
"This Is mora fun than tie? bean
bags at Eag'ss Mere!" panted Lyal.
Hearing the shouts of laughter, a
boy who was visiting at the next
farm camn over to join in tho fun,
then another come, and soon every
boy In the neighborhood was Jhrowlng
stones at tho target, and tho highway
was soon cleared of all stones.
Uncle Frank and Aunt Jo were djs
cussing the stono-throwirg frolic in
the farmhouse, nnd Uncle Frank said
with a resounding slap on his knee,
"Well, those twins are even smartor
than i thought they were! The
have every child in the neighborhood
helping them and thinking It's a privi
lege to clear tho road of stones. Bovs
who can turn work into play this way
will get through the world all right;

' He Pays the Penalty.
One little, two little, three little in
vallds. Four little, live little, six little Invalids,
Seven little, eight little, nine little In
valids. Nine 1 ttle Invalid boys.
That Is the way nine happy little
aortal ia the children's ward of the
hospital sang the rhyme. Happy?
Why, yes. Of course, they were inva
lids and unfortunate. They were all
sufferers, and all belonged out in the
green fields, free and active as the
birds, but their lot had turned out
tlfferently, and they were Iu the white
ward of the hospital Instead. StUl It
might have been worse. Their uiue
was sunshine, the doctirs were
cheerful, and sometimes friends wot'ilc"
bring a treat' or a surprise that would
make their aches and pains easier to
bear.
But what these nine little Invalids
wanted now was a tenth one, bo that
they could sing the song as it should
hi sung. He soon came In the person
of Nathaniel Roskey. He wasn't e
actly an Invalid until the doctors made
him one, and he wasn't so very unfor
tunate. Ho had been born with a pe
culiar lip, like a rabbit's. You know
they call it a hare lip. It did give
him a deformed and unattractive ap
pearance, but what cared Nathaniel
for that? Ho could have Just as much
fun; he could laugh and talk and run
and eat. Besides, he had a comfort
able homo. The idea of being shut up
for weeks in a hospital to have his
lip made over! Ho rebelled against
it; but he was only nine. His mother
wished hlra to look well, and she know
that In a few years her boy would
care very much how he looked. There
fore her wish was carried out. The
doetors performed a slight operation
while Nathaniel was drowsy; and
when he became wide awake he found
his face all bandaged up so that he
could scarcely open his mouth at all.
He couldn't laugh, he couldn't whistle,
and ho did not sec how he was going
to eat.
It was supper time and Nathaniel
thought everybody better off than
himself. What vas a broken leg or
curvature of tho spine compared with
having your mouth bound, almost
shut, with court-plaster and bandages?
At first ho refused to taste the gruel
that was offered to him with a small,
spoon. But he was hungry and there
seemed to be no escape. After supper
when the nurse3 were out for a few
minutes, the ward song was started
up, and a lusty emphasis put upon the
last line."
"Ten little invalid boys."
"What's your name?" asked the In
valid in the cot next to Nathaniel's.
Now Nathaniel was not proud of
his name. It was too long to suit him,
and he would have found It difficult
jst then to pronounce anyway. Be
sides that, he was not in his pleasant
est humor and had not yet decided
whether ho wished to be neighborly or
not. Again the song was Bung, with
emphasis on the ten as before.
"He will not tell his name!" shouted
a boy across the room.
"Call him 'No. 10' " another pro
posed". Some way Nathaniel disliked
that. He tried to make a grimace at
tho boy who proposed it, but as that
was impossible, ho muttered "Nat" -as
well ts he could with a tied jaw.
"Hurrah!" came the greeting In
chorus, and because Nat could do no
better, he just kicked up his legs and
swung his arms. Onco more the song
was sung, and the nurse came in a
Bignal for quiet.
The second day after this was Sun
day, and a friend of the hospital sont
the ward a five-pound box of choco
lates. The box was passed around
twite, so that each invalid had two,
and then It was put on top of a cup
board In one corner of the room. There
all could see it and long for the time
v. hen It would come around again.
If there was one thing Nat loved
more than another It was chocolate
creams. He had never had all that
he wanted. He would have traded his
chance of a new lip for what was loft
in the box. Of course, he had to press
them out flat in his fingers before ho
could push them Into his mouth, but
they melted just as dollclously after
they got there.
Late in the afternoon when the ward
was very quiet, the nurse tiptoed out
of the room.- Some of the boys were
sleeping, but there was one who was
very wide awake and wishing for just
that kind of a chance. Quick as a
wink ho slipped out of his cot, ran to
the cupboard, climbed a chair, reached
the box and srarapred back to bed.
Ho was scarcely under the cover
when he had crushed one of the sweet
mor.sels and pushed It between his
lips another 0. how good they were!
Tho other invalids siw them dis
appear, and at once Logan pleading In
low tones:
"Give us one!"
"Pans it around!"
"Don't he a pig!"
"Oh, ray!"
Nat was more nr less of a pig, yet
he had some little fellow-feellns for
his nine comrades In misfortune; so
he made a flying tour of tho room,
giving fach feilow just two lumps.
Then hurrying ba-.k ho dived under
the covers, box ar.d all. And the way
he placed himself outside of that
randy was little short of magic.
The nurse came back and caught
him in the act. The box was nearly
empty. Nathaniel was nearly choked.
Hi3 hand? and his face were smeared.
Worst of all the bandages and some
of the plaster were so loosened that
the doetors had to commence all over
again. The timo he would have to
stay In the hospital was just that
much longer, and that was the price
Nat paid for his chocolate creams.
