He was in high spirits—perhaps from too much liquor. “Give me two runners to show me the way,” he quoth, “and the rest of you can remain in shelter.” He pressed on into the wind and rain. As he rode along the crags close above Kinghorn, his horse stumbled, he was thrown over its head, and fell to the | bottom of a great precipice, being killed instantly. It was now the small hours of March 16, 1286. When morning dawned fair and calm, people reproached Thomas, t&llieu‘;nnymour of Ercildoune, for his pi iction. “Noon is not yet gone,” he replied. A messenger later arrived with the news that the King was dead. The oldest poem in the Scottish tongue is said to have been a lament for Alexander. He was the last male of his line. For long, Bcottish Kings had been on friendly terms with the {In‘"lh and Scotland had been peaceful and pros .

MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Soap for Dry Skin. ‘Those whose skin is dry and sensitive can sympathize with the woman who wrote in recently saying: only tell me how to keep my face without having it get red and blotchy I would be eternally grateful to you. I absolutely cannot feel ¢lean when I use cleansing cream alone. I just must use warm water and soap at least once & day. But when I do my faee smarts and feels terrible no matter what kind of soap I choose nor what soothing lo- tions I may apply afterward.” ‘There are just such skins and it is] also true that there are few complexions that do not feel the necessity of a soap afld water cleansing at least occasion- ally. In the first place, such skins should never be washed in hard water. If soft water is not available, soften it by im- mersing in it a little bag fillled wil oatmeal, almond meal or bran, Wash the fact with this mealy water and rub the bag on the skin also. When it comes to soaps, there are many who find that they are able to use & pure baby Castile without discomfort. en even that seems too harsh the following excellent preparation may be made, using Castile as the base: Shave one-half pound of Castile soap very finely. Cover it with water, set over a double boiler and let it melt very slowly until the flakes have e a soft mass. Add gradually one-fourth pound of almond meal or oatmeal. Do not let the mlxturewbou, but let it remain over the mixture has entirely cooled, shape it into cakes of convenient size. In pur- chasing the materials for making this s0ap do not buy the almond meal which s already mixed with powdered soap. (nsist on the pure meal and also on an absolutely pure Castile soap. If milady will use this kind of soap and also soften the water as suggested she should be able to cleanse her face nightly with soap and water. After washing and drying the face a soothing skin tonic should be applied and al- lowed to dry on the skin. The following ingredients make a mild, pleasant skin boric acid, one, dram; 80 out of doors immediately after wash- ing the face.
