There is something very severe about many of the winter hats, and if you they are too trying, trim to the y effects, for they are not only sweet and girlis), but charming as well, and the girl who can stand the bewildering amount of fluff-fluff will discover to her ever g joy that she has suc- cessfully pped two or three years from ber shoulders.

The roller is applied with the skin lightly covered by a thin undergarment or towel. The pressure must be very firm to break down the fat cells, and each movement must be repeated from seventy-five to a hundred times over each section of the body traversed. The object is to take the biood from the parts, hence the movements should be lengthwise of the muscles, not crosswise. Grasp the roller in the right hand and start at the walist line, reaching as far back as con- venient, just above the right hipbone, and roll over the obliquus externus muscle toward the left diagonally to the center of the base of the abdomen, or short muscle, known as the pyra- midalis. Start again 2 trifle higher, continue in the same direction except to stop in the center higher up by the width of the roller each time, until the. last path traversed will be very short and terminate almost on & line with the walist line. Each time the roller is ap- plied in higher movement it should be placed an inch or two higher over the walst line. When the right side has been completely covered reverse the movement on the left side. Next mas- sage the abdomen up and down through the center, keeping the pres- sure very firm. Continue the roller massage morning and evening for sev- eral weeks until a decided reduction is noticed, which is usually about the end of the second month. Faithful work will surely bring results. (Mrs. B. N. M.)—The manifold duties of a mother are ceaseless at best, but when she is confronted with nervous children a cool, clear head and a firm hand are essential if annoying explo- sions are to be controlled, which mili- tate against the health and peace of the parents as well as the children.

Plain, who me foed daint served must be ted upon at all times. Keep the children in the open air as much as you can, but avoid hot suns and long walks. Short walks and games interspersed with frequent rests are best for nervous children. A COOLING WASH (Mrs. E. B. L)— The annoying prickling sensation which you feel when very warm and without the slightest visible signs of rash is a trouble common te very stout people and is largely due to the acid nature of the perspiration. The irrita- tion is most readily relleved by bathing in conjunction with the application of some soothing tollet preparation to cleanse and cool the overheated sur- face of the body. Four baths in tNe tub weekly and a sponge bath every morning and alternate evenings before retiring should keep the skin in ex- cellent condition without enervating one. After drying the body rub on the following lotion, which is both cooling and tonic In its effect. Take one-half ounce of gum camphor, eight ounces of best alcohol, one-half ounee tincture of benszoin, two ounces of best cologne and one pint of perfectly soft water. Dis- solve the gum camphor in the alcohol, then slowly pour in the water, cologne and lastly the benzoin drop by drop. Shake well, strain through fine muslin and bottle. Pour a smali quantity in a saucer and apply with a small sponge or with the fingers. Be particular to change daily all garments which come in direct contact with the body, avoid- ing wearing any material which sheds lint. Silk and hard twisted lisie thread undergarments are delightfully cool and least objectionabie in this respect. Lace trimmed corset covers, etc, should be laundered without starching, otherwise the tiny stiff points of the lace are very amnoying when the skin is semsitive to the slightest touch. TO DEVELOP THE CHEST AND ARMS (Agnes).—Realizing the diffi- culty and objections to be met in gain- ing lon for attaching exercising outfits to the wall by a girl who boards away from home, I give a simple method .for strengthening the chest and arms which can be performed in one’s own room without the aid of any appilance except the ordinary armless ightening ‘he the greatest strain which grasps the Then reverse the nding on the opposite piacing the left hand chair and right hand Practice only & few e at first to avoid It may be quits body and arms st a few minutes’ ex- ercise each day will soon show a de- cided control until you can easily bold the prescribed position. REMOVING FRECKLES (Frances). Summer freckles, incident to s long voyage, are not difficuit to remove and will usually vanish without treatment after cool autumn weather Dbegins. However, If you wish to hasten thelr departure you must protect the face from strong sunlight by wearing a chiffon veil and carrying a parasol en every possible occasion. The clever woman has long since discovered that both are very becoming, hence the use of them will be no Refrain from open air bathing. for the action of the sun on skin wet with either salt or fresh water will bring out the blem- ishes In greater numbers and will tan and burn the skin as well Keep the skin exquisitely clean at all times and protect it during the day by light ap- plications of toilet powder. Do not, however, attempt to cover the freckles by this means or dab the face with glycerin or cold cream previous - to using the powder, all advice you have had to the contrary. This habit gives a woman not only a decidedly “made- up” appearance, but the face Is seen to be oily and quickly accumuilates and hoids floating particles of dust which clog and poison the pores and bring eruptions and other blemishes. As a harmiess bleach iemon juice is the best remedy for summer freckles and it may be applied several times a day provid- ed it is dfluted and does not Irritate the skin. This effect must be deter- mined by the user. To cbviate the mussiness of lemon skin or sliced lemon press out enough juice from large well ripened fruit to fiil a wineglass, add a pint of rain “tvater, two tea- spoonfuls of vielet tcilet water and thirty drops of simple tincture of ben- zoin.

Should the skin get sensttive from the action of the acid omit its use for a day and apply cream. The skin must always be fectly ciean and free from powder fore using the lemon lotion. it
