The gentleman’s size is much more ful, and, besides, they em to prettier colors, for they can be ith a border of almost any dain- shade. ' The plain, straight border, with its hemstitched edge, may be used, trimmed with lace or not, just as one pleases, or the gorners may be put together with insertion and made into shaped fancy trim- . Especially fit are these when made into complete sets, and the girl who has a hobby of a certain color may ride it to a finish. 3 The softest, most becoming dusting caps and the most bewitching choco- te or coffee aprons are fashioned from these linen 'kerchiefs as well. ‘When miladi wishes to putter about a little and pretend that she really takes an unusuzl interest in her home she places one of these little creations on her head at an angle of forty-five de- grees, arms herself with a dustcloth and sallies forth hoping and praying that her best friends may chance in to see her. For such an exceedingly simple bit of femininity it is wonderfully fetch- ing. Enough of the border is left out to form a fair-sized ruffle, with two coquettish donkey ears nodding and looking exceedingly wise as she bends over the fragile cups and plays with the bric-a-brac. The finishing téuch is a great bow of soft satin ribbon, and lo and behold, her headgear is exquis- itely finished. The apron does not consist merely of a bit of elastic, though of a truth it is not much more difficult to fashion. The handkerchief is turned V-shaped and a piece cut off the top =o that it will gather meatly into a band. And this little piece, by the way, serves as the pocket a little later on. Embroidery makes a pretty finish, but plain lawn gathered into a soft ruffle really is more fit, for it does not conflict in any y with the design of the handker- chief; in fact its very plainness adds rather than detracts. The same mate- rial should be used for the long strings, for while ribbon bows are more fetch- ing, they are a decided nuisance when it comes to tubbing, for they must be taken off, pressed and sewed neatly in place again before the apron can be donned, and the fly-away girl who has a lonz list “of teas, receptions and dances in er mind cannot be ex- nember whether such a an apron has strings in it i but realize it.

J.)— There really isn't any language of the face, though those who claim to know say that the small, receding chin de- notes a lack oY will power and that such people are nearly always treach- erous and weak and mean. The per- son who.possessed such a chin would be disloyal and easily led about, be- cause she would not have the strength of character and will to be anything else. A round and full. well formed chin denotes a sweet, ylelding temper and the woman who possesses such a one is usually happy and is blessed with the facwity of making others so too. A pointed, projecting chin always tells of avarice, especlally if the sub- Jject has a long, hooked nose, for that combination is the fatal sign of a miser. . A square chin of good size with an indentation in the center is the ac- companiment of a firm, capable na- ture. The girl who has such a chin will be a good business woman, one to be relied upon and a thorough help- meet. o2 HATS (May)—Yes, leghorns are coming into style again and right smart they are, too. For a time they seemed to be too flimsy to suit, the popular fancy, but they are far too graceful to be cast aside for good. Conventional trimmings are its por- tion this year, such as a double wreath of forget-me-nots or tiny berries, for which adornments a drapery of velvet stuck through a buckle is frequently substituted. IANGERIE (Miss O.)—There is no -~ i that is one of her biggest. doubt that white underlinen is now being asked for and sold in far greater excess than anything colored. To be sure, pretty dotted muslins are being used more than the plain fabric, and if you really want some color, em- broider dots cr tiny flowers in some dainty color and use the same tone in the ribbon effect. Silk petticoats made of soft colors like champagne-yellow, trimmed with point d'esprit, ere much used, though the dainty, fluffy white one is worn by the women who are well gowned. RINGWORM ON THE FACE (Es- *telle)—This common cruption, appear- ing on the face and frequently on the hands, resembles a burn at first and generally forms in circular patches or a patch which enlarges as the disease spreads. Intense itching, especially when the spot is exposed to heat or is rubbed, accompanies the trouble. The spot or spots should be thoroughly cleansed with warm water and pure soap. Keep a soft rag especially for this purpose and destroy it when no longer required. An effective remedy consists in painting a ring of iodine around the eruption to prevent its fur- ther enlargement and applying a heal- ing ointment. Obtain one-half ounce of colorless iodine from the druggist, together with a small camel's hair brush. The ordinary lodine may be used, but it will leave a stubborn stain on the skin for some weeks, while the colorless does not stain and is quite as effective. Paint around the spot a half inch at least and then lightly anoint the spot with sulphur ointment and it will disappear in a few days. Pure castor oil is another excellent remedy to keep the surface soft while healing and it may be applied several times each day. Never pick at the spot or eeek to hasten its cure by any harsh means or a deep scar is likely to result. Do not use glycerin on such eruptions, for it will cause the crustaceous forma- tion to exude and frequently cause a sore. MOUTH WASH (Alma)—I really think there is no use troubling cver tooth powder and washes, but here is a good one if you want to try it: Tincture orris .1 ounce Essence white ros: 1 ounce Alcchol .1 ounce Peppermint seneees 20 drovos Mix. Pour a few drops into a little water and rinse the mouth thoroughly. If you want a mouth wash and have nothing of the kind in the house, put a little violet water or any good toilet water for that matter into the water and use it and you will find it will serve quite as well. BENEFITS OF DEEP BREATHING (T. B. L.)—The value of correct breath- ing cannot be over 1ated, although comparatively few people seem to real- ize its true relation to the verfect de- velopment of health and beauty. The three most important results from cor- rect breathing are the purification of the blood, the production of animal at and the curative powers resulting the mechanical action of deep breathing by the expansion and con- traction of the diaphragm and muscles of the chest. As the blood circulates it gathers the poison of the body, car- bonic acid, which is a combination of oxygen and carbon, two elements found in the body having a strong affinity for each ot . This poisonous waste, brought to the lungs by the blood, is quickly dissipated when brought in con- tact with pure air by increased o genation of the blood by the process of breathing. This being the case, it is easy to see why imperfect breathing fails to purge the blood and lungs suf- ficiently; the natural regults therefore are nervousness, headache, lung trou- bles, etc., and which as a rule are un- known to persons who habitually prac- tice deen breathing and take pains to obtain all the fresh air possible every hour of the day and night. he com- mon manner of breathing may be di- vided in this way: breathing from the upper part of the lungs and abdominal breathing. The first is peculiar to wom- en, largely because the custom of wear- ing tight bands and corsets makes it almost impossible for the lower ribs to expand, hence the unper chest muscies do the work largely d, of course, the lower air cells of the lungs suffer. In abdominal breathing the abdominal wall is forced outward as the dia- phragm falls downward, while the chest remains almost immovable. The only way to obtain the life-giving bene- fits of full bredthing is to loosen the clothing about the waist and chest and vractice breathing as often as time and strength will permit, clad only in a gown which hangs free from the shoulders. MASSAGE VUOPRSUS BLEMISHES (L. T. F)—*Many women entertain an erroneous idea concerning the efficacy of facial massage, expecting that after <> Beginning Sunday, Complete in Four Installments, IN THE BISHOP'S CARRIAGE By Miriam Michelson ' July 10, e S A A . a week or two of treatment they will see a markd improvement, not only in the removal of lines, but also in the banishment of blemishes such as pim- ples. To those who are interested in this line of culture, and I cannot un- derstand how any woman can be in- different to her personal appearance, I wish to give a few words of encourage- ment, as well as to correct any false impressions they may now have. First of all, do not expect to eradicate in a few days or months that which na- dure has taken years to implant. We, like the gardener, must work patiently. He wisely plants his seeds and awaits developments, knowing full well that a firm root is the first essential to a healthy growth. Faithful work will surely be rewarded in time, but, unless YOu are an exceptional case, a mar improvement will scarcely be noticed under two months of faithful care; skins that have been fairly starved will require longer treatment before mate- rial results will be seen. Like all forms of exercise, regularity is the keynote of success. All of us are aware how every one who attains perfection in any line must adhere faithfully to regular rules, no matter how distasteful, yet there always seems to be a disposition to shirk when physical culture pure and simple is igvolved after the first enthu- siasm wears off. Hence, I again urge the necessity for serious work to in=- sure success. While massage is an in- valuable aid in 7e:mslng the skin, do not expect to cufe blemishes by mas- sage alone, for it cannot be done un- less the eruptions are entirely due to overclogged poresy Bathing, rational diet, exercise are all important factors which must not be overlooked nor neg- lected. A VALUABLE F CKLE LOTION (Jennie) othing byt constant vigi- lance will avail the girl who iIs pre- +lisposed to those provoking blemishes, freckles. They are caused by iron in the blood. The strong action of the sunlizht upon the particles which have worked their way through the ducts of the skin, forining a deposit under the surface, causes the discoloration. If freckles are constitutional only the most cevere remedies in the form of caustic washes in the hands of a skilled dermatologist will remove the specks. Even then they may return, for no sne can honestly guarantee complete cure. If, however, freckles are of the £un order, protection of the face from strong sunlight, and especially from spring winds, will materially lessen the depth of color. chiffon when out of doors and apply the following lotion several times each Wear a vell of day. These efforts may, in time, fade out the obstinate spots: Take one tea- spoonful of refined borax, two tea- spoonfuls of Epsom salts, fifteen drope of tincture of benzoin and half & pint of water. Put the water, borax and salt in a bottle, and, when dis- solved. add the benzoin slowly. Shake well and let stand for three hours, then strain through flne muslin and bottle for use. Apply with a velvet sponge. WHE ABUSED NECK (Frances)— When we consider the modern fashion of dresging the neck it s little wondgr that beautiful contour and fair white skin is the exception rather than the rule. Actresses, singers and soclety ‘women have the best examples of what a woman's neck should be: fair and firm supporting the head with grace. The great army of professional and business women who must present a neat, fashionable attire during the long hours of the day are the greatest su ferers from unshapely necks. The secret of the difference is simply this. The class of women first named spend the major porticn of their waking hours in dainty gowns more or less open at the neck or softly trimmed at that part of the garment. The acces- sorles which go with the tallor-made gowns are worn by these women for but a few hours dally. The attempt to introduce the Dutch or collarless waist has proved a fallure and de- servedly so, for it is decidedly too neg= ligee for good form to be worn in pub- lic, although I advise any woman to indulge in this freedom whenever she can do 5o in the privacy of her own home, for its beautifying effects. A happy compromise is found in the transparent perforated collars and in stocks of soft silk, linen and embroid- eries with or without a thin lining, and boneless. These dainty accessories give the needful completic to the toilet with the least possible compression and Heat about the neck. Many a relaxed and flabby meck is not the result of age. but the preduct of stiff collars, which. have held the delicate muscles in their firm grip until natural fore have lost their power to support the surrounding tissues. If women will study the hygiene of dress and sift from the vast array of apparel only such articles as are least harmful, com= bining comfort with grace of form, natural beauty will be permc.; hanced. b N 5 e+
