It is quite a different thing from buying what one fancles and yet does not re v want. Let me trate. Mr. A—, who had the soul of a prince with the se of & beggar, one day brought In and presented to his wife, with debonair delight, an expensive set of chessmen. The gift was superb. They were of the finest ivory, beautifully carved, and their cost made a hole in $10. A shadow fell over the sweet face of Mrs. A— as she recelved the chess- men. For the life of her she could not simulate enthusiasm. She knew, and her husband should have known, that at the yery moment when he had spent much gold on this altogether superflupus lux- ury the wolf of debt was growling at the door. Each of the four boys was in cry- ing need of s mew suil. The two elder ones were compelled to have new over- coats. The mother herseif had not bought an entirely mew gown In several years.

Some people are doubly at the mercy of their own impulses and of the glib tongue of an urbane salesman. There are men and women worth big salaries to their employers who could almost wile a bird froni & bough by their winning per- suasion when they are selling goods, The unwary custosner, with a little money In the purse, sees in some show- case a beautiful article which he or she covets. To look is to step Into danger. To ask the price is to be hopelessly lost. Between inclination on the one hand and courteous suggestion on the other, the luckless customer Is between the devil and the deep sea. It is very much the same with people of limited means who indulge In the luxury of a monthly ac- count. Unless one is very firm there 1s the peril of buying during thes month a lot of things one does not want and be- ing terribly astonished at the sum total ‘when the bill comes in. People without number yield to the in- sidlous temptation to buy what they do not want, and what they would be just 0eli Gragmed Wo By Katheringe §W quickly restore tone to throbbing nerves than to follow a simple hot bath by spraying and rubbing the body with lnvigorating aromatic vinegar or cologne. Cologne is one of the best astringents to use on a tired, haggard face, but [ must warn you against the use of any but a good quality of cologne. A first- class druggist will tell you of a good “brand and one you ean employ with impunity on your face when you are tired, and not at other times except for perfuming purposes. When the lines of the face begin to droop, when small wrinkles form around the eyes, good eau de cologne acts like a charm. I know of one elderly woman, ouite white haired, who touches her closed eyelids and the skin around with bits of cotton molstened with cologne every ake day, when fatigue has begun to away the brilliancy of her expres crbs, and when dark circles appear like shadows around her eyes. These dark -circles are the bane of the tired girl's life, no matter how gay her spirits, how lively her conversa- tion, how animated her face-—the cir- cles tell their tale of fatigue for every one to read.

In every village, In every town, in every city, there are men and women going to their graves in poverty who might have been in modegately comfortable circum- stances all their days had they not been seized upon by a fatal desire to get rich rapidly.

Before massaging the eye, the finger should be lightly dipped in one of the lanolin preparations. When the eyes are inflamed from too much and too con- stant reading, or irritated by the cold, a soothing eyewash can be made of hot water poured on tea leaves and the mixture allowed to steep and cool. And now for the drooping lines In the tired girl's face. A bath and rest will do something toward erasing theém, but massage and will power must do thelir share. The wil! power heips the expres- sion. Of course, when you are tired, it is easier to let the corners of the mouth droop, but if you remember that those drooping lines may stay there permanent- ly, it is oniy a necessary spur of vanity that makes one keep on smiling. To help this, curl the mouth comfortably upward, hold your hands on each side of your chin and rub gently and quickly upward, This stimulates the circulation and re- lieves the sensation of sagging and fa- tigue. One more word to the tired girl. Learn to walk, stand and sit correctly. Learn to hold your back straight and get the full benefit of your lungs and you will be able to do m4re in a day and feel less fatigue and your weariness will not leave guch early and devastating marks on your face.

Again, nd firmly, bend the bedy forward until you can touch the toes with the fingers without bending the knees. This stretches the muscles of the leg, just as cemain breathing exercises and arm movements expand and broaden the chest. Another exercise for lengthening the limbs is to swing the leg in as much of a circle as pe % the toe, as though nole in the floor— when vour toe reached it. This will be difficult at t, but with practice can be kept up for some time. All thess move- ments must be done slowly; rapid ones are of no use.

By a little thought and practics, we may all acquire the willowy grace of swaylng orchids. Inches may also ba obtained by a com- ference with one's shoemaker.
