Go in for any- thing and everything. Learn to sew, to cook, to sing, to handle horses, to play games well, to read books wisely, in fact, anything that will make you more interesting and that will take you out If, for the minute you forget yourself, your trials and tribulations, you are getting out of an unhappy, any good e than half the wrinkles seen In the face are caused by laughing, pain or tricks of some kind that one is perfectly unconscious of. For instance, w perfectly natural it is to sit down, put the chin in the hand and press the flesh out of position. Of course doing s now and then woutd have little or ct, but the girl who continually sits in this position soon discovers to her sorrow that her face is growing her one-sided and that wrinkles are rming that age her ‘ten or twelve years. The jolly girl is always In a peck of trouble and the more she laughs the deeper the lines about her mouth and eyes grow, but thanks be, they at least do not betoken a cross, irritable dispo- sition, for nothing lights up one quite so much as gladness, and no amount of wrinkles can ever cover up or efface the marks that happiness leaves on the brow of her best beloved But wrinkles, whatever their cause, are not pretty, and the sooner they are eradicated the better. Steaming the face and then applying some good cream will take out the fine lines, but it will not touch the heavy ones that run across the forehead or that insist upon making themselves distinctly dis- agreeable about the eyes. For them there is but one simple remedy. The use -of adhesive plaster. Just about the time you are ready to retire place a fjece of rubber plaster over the wrin- s and let it remalin there during the night. Be especially eareful when put- ting it on the forehead, for if the hair or eyebrows come in contact with it they will have to come out by the roots, and it is rather a painful operation. And, by the way, when you put the plaster on, draw it rather snugly over the lines and do not try to remove it without the use of alcohol. Hot water only makes it sticky, uncomfortable and dificult to manage, but alcohol cuts and loosens gradually and the bandage may be removed gently and without pain. In rubbing the face try to remember to rub up instead of down. Naturaly the skin sags and droops and years of rubbing helps the good cause along In an astounding fashion.

Remember this atment holds good only with woolen materials, so don't anything else later on. MOTHER (Prickly heat).—Chil- dren who are subject to prickly heat should not be burdened with heavy underwear, as this i{s the most com- mon cause of the eruptions. Give your little ones bran bath in the morning out soap and use a good dusting powder fre At night give them a good sponge bath and use some more dusting powder. ALMA (Wedding invitations).—The cest of invitations depends entirely upon the style of engraving. - You can get a_popular style for $14 or $15 a hundred and a simpler one for $12 a hundred. That includes the engraved plate and two sets of envelopes, one for the inside and the outer one to be addressed. If you want the “at home" card it will cost you about $2 50 extra, and, of course, will be in the same style of engraving. If you are in doubt as to a firm I will gladly give ¥you a number of addresses if you will glve me your address. A. B. C.

I will give you another receipt, too, while I am at it: Ether . Boap liniment . Upon retiring for gl the spots affected and In the morning wash the surface with hot water. YOUNG HOUSEKEEPER (Cleanse glass)—The easiest way to cleanse glass vases, carafes or bottles of any sort is to use a little muriatic acid. A tablespoonful rinsed slowly around in a vase or decanter will cleanse it thoroughly, removing from the glass every particle of foreign matter. The acid can then be poured into another vase to perform the same office, and even returned to the bottle of supply for service on another occasion. After the acid is out of the vase or bottle the latter must be rinsed inside thor- oughly, first with hot soapsuds and then in several clear waters. Muriatic acid is dangerous and must be used with great care. 1 drachm MRS. M. (For relaxed skin).—Where the skin is relaxed a slightly astrin- gent water may be used with good ef- fect. Get eight ounces of orange flower water and one-fourth drachm of simple tincture of benzoin.

Tincture of benzoin varies somewhdt In strength. It should not feel uncomfortable upon the face. If it does and pulls the skin, it is too powerful. MIRIAM (Baked celery).—Be care- ful in handling celery, for it is not fit to eat unless it is properly cooked. To bake it in paper cases cook it in boil- ing salted water, chop very fine and drain, celery to the amount of a pint. Scald six green peppers, rub”off the skin, cut off the stems and remove the seeds. Make a rich Italian sauce as follows: Fry one tablespoonful of chopped shalots in one tablespoonful of salad oil until yellow. Add a sprig of parsley, a tablespoonful of chop- ped mushrooms and fry for five min- utes. Dredge with a tablespoonful of cornstarch, mix well and add one cup- ful of brown stock. When smooth add two tablespoonfuls of mushroom catsup and a celery pulp. Fill the pepper shells, place ¢lose together in a baking dish containing an imeh of hot water and a generous lump of buttet and bake for half an hour. M. T.
