Pearl Barley Water Probably the Best of All Lotions—Feeds the Tissues and Does Not Dry the Skin. It is easier to prevent wrinkles than to cure them. This is not a new or original statement, but it bears repeti- tion because its truth cannot be too While a woman is still young and her skin is fresh she should try to keep it so. To do this, select applications both cleansing and healing. Of the many lotions, etc., recommended I would suggest pearl barley water as being most helpful to flesh that has begun to show lines. It is made by putting three ounces of best pearl barley in a pint of boiling water and simmering slowly until the liquir has extracted the starch. This is easily told by the slight thickness it will take on. The grain is then strained out and thrown away and the liquid used as a wash. If it is found to be gluey when cold it must be thinned with clear water. fm the proper consistency it is soft, but not sticky. For half a pint of the seh liquid 15 drops of tincture of benzoin © |should be added when the former is \cold. { One cannot do better than to use this exclusively for cleaning the face. [It feeds the tissues, does not dry the skin as clear water may, and is not a cosmetic. It should be applied by moistening a bit of thin muslin and wiping over the face. There ’need be oo hesitation in using the liquid freely and letting it dry in. What remains of the cleanser after it has been left DIVAN CUSHIONS OF SILK, Colored Silk Covers Should Harmon- ize with Paper and Hangings. The more pillows and cushions on 2 lounge or sofa the more comfort- able and cosy it will be. There should be large, downy pillows and small, jlowny cushions to fill in between all the hollow places, and there should be bright colored silk covers that tone in well with the paper and hangings ppt the room, and there must be dainty \white covers that can be taken off zasily and kept always in their pris- tine freshness. For the large ‘pillows there are most attractive wide handkerchief squares In silk and crepe, in green Japanese jesigns and colorings.

St. am phiet, 8, TOU ply to of year it is possible to piek up all sorts of attractive squares of silk and brocade that are excellent for a lounge pillow. For the little baby pillow, without which no sofa, divan, lounge or bed is complete, filet lace, combined with fine embroidered handkerchief linen, is ‘at present the style of cover most in favor. These covers are extremely jzasy to make, for the open English embroidery is not tedious work and {Squares of filet can be fitted in wherever they go best with the pat- tern. Over a slip cover of pale blue, pink or green silk the English em- broidery and the filet lace both show up charmingly. | An entire cover of filet is also ef- tective and the simplest thing in the world to manufacture. A fairly good piece of imitation should be selected, and of distinct design. If economy must be practiced one side only of the zover need be of the filet and the oth- ar of a filet net, an edging of cluny lace being placed over the joining. Cluny lace is particularly effective in combination with filet. | If dipped first in a fairly strong so- tution of tea leaves the crude white Foal * imitation filet will disappear and Lovee, the lace take on a much nicer tone. It ls best to experiment first with a tiny sample of the lace, so as to get just the shade of ecru desired. on the face for several minutes should be removed with a dry, soft cloth. The throat and neck should re ceive the same treatment. When wrinkles have made their ap- pearance and are due to illness or nerve strains, something more in the nature of a tonic as well, as tissue builder is required. To make such a skin food combine 30 grains of alum, three-quarters of an ounce of almond milk and three ounces of rose water. The alum is put into the water and dissolved before being mingled with the milk. The latter is made by blanching al- monds (about 12 will do) and pound- ing them in a mortar with a pestle. After being broken a few grains of granulated sugar is added, and then a gill of rose water. The last ingre- dient goes in drop by drop, the pound- ing continuing until the nuts are as fine as they can be crushed. The mixture is then covered and stands over night, when it is strained and ready for use. Very heavy wrinkles follow a great loss of flesh in the face, and should be treated promptly, or the skin will be- come hopelessly sagged. Best for this is a cream made of four ounces of fresh mutton suet, 1% ounce of glycerine, 30 grains of benzoin tinc- ture, 25 grains spirits of camphor, eight grains of powdered alum, a quar- ter of a dram of powdered Russian isinglass and half,an ounce of rose water. The suet should be melted and strained, and equal the glycerine in quantity. Should there be more of the suet, reject the surplus. Mix these and put in the alum. Warm the rose water slightly and melt the isinglass in it. Combine these with the first two while they are still liquid, and then slowly stir in the tinctures. Let the mixture stand until it con- geals, and then massage “he face night and morning.—Philadel* la Ledger. aeeeeeeeeeemaeaaammnmammmaamaaaaaaaammamane teeee eee eee ee ON HOME DRESS IN BLUE DELAINE. Has Some New Points of Interest to Amateur Dressmaker. A pretty shade of wedgewood-blue delaine, spotted with a darker shade, is used for this dress. The skirt has three shaped flounces at the sides and back, but is left quite plain in the center front. Above the flounces is 9 band of silk over muslin continued up each side the front. The bodice is made with two deep tucks, that give the wide-shouldered ef- fect; it is further trimmed with silk bands and crossed straps of ribbon fixed under silver buttons. The sleeves are gathered into deep bands below the elbow, that are trimmed with silk. Materials required for the dress: Fourteen yards delaine, two yards silk, 1¥% yard sateen for bodice lining, six buttons. For nausea give small pieces ‘of cracked ice. Lemon is also an excellent shampoc ‘for white hair, giving it. a lovely silvery luster and keeping it soft and pliable. Freckles on the hands are very hard to get rid of. A highly recommended remedy is a paste made of finely pow- dered sulphur and white vaseline. Rub on the freckles at night and wear gloves. ‘ The girl with a receding chin should be careful to have her hair knotted on a level with her chin or below it, well down on the neck. Arranged in the middle of the head it accentuates her defect. A cup of hot water drunk as soon as getting up in the morning will hurt none and is positively beneficial . to many persons. It is one of the sim- plest aids to digestion. An abundance of fresh air is essential to a good com- plexion and there should be plenty of ventilation in the sleeping room. Pastel Blue and Mustard. Pastel blue and all the other shadeg down the gamut to very dull tones of delft are extensively used for the long or three-quarter coats that do duty on many occasions. Some of these in Copenhagen or royal blue are made up so that they can be used either for day or evening wear, for the theater and concerts. One of Gopenhagen blue, made after a full kimono model, had trimmings of black satin with touches of dull olive green in the col- lar and sleeve finishes, and with an ef. fective use of those burnished gold buttons that are a feature of this sea son's styles. FOUND OUT THE TROUBLE. Waitress Discovered Jimmy's Pecull- arity in Making Change. \Cash registers are doubtless watch- dogs of private treasuries and joys for- ever to the happy clerks who play lightly upon the keys to “register the amount of your purchase,” but there may come times in the best-regulated establishments when the vagaries of the human factor, without which the machine will not go, mix up its inter nal anatomy so that chaos reigns. In a Washington restaurant where tourists gather to snatch a passing bite between seeing sights and com- plain that the public buildings do not open until nine o’clock, thus compell- ing them to confine their observations to banking hours, a deep mystery has brooded for days. There was.a wide discrepancy between the receipts as stamped upon the roll in the cash register, and the amount of money found in the drawer at the close of business each day. For a long time no solution of the puzzle could be found. A young man, whose chief characteristic was his willingness, opened the restaurant at six eyery morning and ruled the roost alone. But he was known to be hon- est. At last one of the waitresses, who arrived one morning just as the lonely young man was making change for one of the early customers, found out what was the matter. “Jimmy, your head is full of mud,” was her classic adjuration. “What on earth are you doing?” “Making the change,” replied the unperturbed James. And then the secret was out. Jim- my, when he received a bank note or coin to change, rang up that amount on the register, without reference to. what the customer was to pay, and let it go at that. It was as simple as could be. t Jimmy is still puzzling over the matter, for he knows that he put into the drawer the exact sum that he rang up, every time, so he cannot see ,| where the kick comes in. No One to “Sit on the Lid.” “Usually, when the pfesident goes away from the national capital for any length of time,” remarked a stay-at-home official to a Washington star reporter, “he designates some member of the cabinet to ‘sit on the lid,’ or, in other words, to represent him in Washington in case of neces- sity. That duty usudlly ‘has been delegated to either Secretary Root or Secretary Taft, but has some times been assumed by other mem- bers of the cabinet. For some unex. plained reason it was not done this year, and it has happened that the highest official of the government on duty in the national capital for weeks at a time during the summer has been an assistant secretary to one of the executive departments. “In the past it -was extremely un- usual for the president and all the members of his cabinet to be away from Washington at the same time for any extended period, but that con dition existed, and has occurred fre quently since the president went to Oyster Bay early in June last. Neith- er Secretary Root, Secretary Taft nor any other member of the cabinet hag ‘been in Washington for any consider able stretch of time since that date, and it has happened that all of them have been away at the same time. No embarrassment has resulted, how- ever, as the president as well as all the cabinet ministers have. remained in close communication with their representatives who remain in Wash- ington throughout the summer, re gardless of where they happened to be, so that really there was no occa sion for anyone to hold down the lid for the president during the summer.” Supreme Court Enjoyed Joke. It is not safe for the average citi zen to take liberties with the United States supreme court, but they have fun with each other, these grave and reverend dignitaries of the woolsack. The other day a case was pending in which a homesteader claimed dam- ages against a railroad for the occu- pation of certain land. It was pretty plain that the homesteader had waited ten years or so to claim his damages in order that the land might increase in value and permit him to make his claim larger. “Do you think it is equitable and just?” demanded Jus- tice Brewer of the claimant’s lawyer, “for your client to demand $1,000 from the railroad for this land when your client acquired the same by paying the merely nominal fees of a few dol- lars assessed by the government?” “But, if your honor please,” retorted the lawyer, “the railroad paid nothing at all.” “Ha, ha,” laughed Justice Harlan, in a lusty voice, and then he deliberately leaned forward and grinned at Brewer. And Brewer grinned, too, at his own discomfiture. Harlan will be 75 next June. Two of his passions are golf and chewing to- bacco. No Time to Get Full Name. Some of the new members of con- gress were getting acquainted with Washington society at the president’s diplomatic reception. Representative Edwards of Georgia was introduced to Mr. Jonkheer Reinhardt de Marees yan Swinderen. Representative Wil- Jets of New York came up and Mr. Edwards wanted to introduce him. “Would you mind giving me your name, sir? I could not hear it dis- tinctly in this noise,” said he to the minister from the Netherlands. “Jonk- heer Reinhardt de—”’ Both Mr. Ed- wards and Mr. Willets were listening intently, but as it was a fast moving reception they did not get any more, nor did they see the minister any more. ; _ THE TIME TEST. That Is What Proves True Merit. Doan’s Kidney Pills bring the quick- est of relief from backache ean kid- ney troubles.' Is that relief lasting? Let Mrs. James M. Long, of 113 Augusta St., Staunton, Va. tell you. OnJanuary 3ist, 1903, Mrs. Long wrote: “Doan’s Kid- ney Pills have cured me” (of pain in the back, urinary trou- bles, bearing down sensations, etc.) On June 20th, 1907, four and one-half years later, she said: “I haven’t had kidney trouble since.
