While high, tight collars and stocks should be avoided by women with heavy chins and yellow, withering necks, the use of the net guimpe, with collar low in the front and neatly boned under the ears, adds greatly in hiding these dread signs of old age and als gives a trig and stylish appearance, In my opinion every woman past forty should keep the meck thus covered, unless her flesh is in remarkably good condition. Fine lines which appeér under the ears should be massaged lightly with lanolin if the skin is dry, allowing the tips of the fingers to form small circles contrary to and not al long the wrinkles. Whitening masks made from pastes containing honey, ground barley, lemon juice, white of egg, &c., may be lightly bandaged on the yellow neck at night with gauze. These bring quick and marvellous results. ‘The white of an egg may be simply made into a thin paste with white fheney and a little lemon juice or benzoin added and stirred in until smooth. ‘This may also be used on the complexion of the dark, swarthy woman.

This may be applied on a puff of cotton and left on any length of time and then removed with warm water and soap. Local treatments are all well enough for the skin, but you must be ever busy and on the alert.

LOOKED down to discover a lit- tle boy, perhaps six years old, sitting on the carpet, his face wet with tears, He looked startled as I leaned over him; apparently he had mistaken the room and had expected to find some- body else. But I took him in my arms and carried him back to the chair where I had been sitting. Here was some one in the world as miserable as I—another human being sent by the gods to share my unhappiness. Little by little, between his sobs, I gleaned the information that his name was Charles Tucker and that his father owned the hotel; and then, at last, the cause of his bitterness came out, ‘There was @ circus in the next town, four miles away, and Charles Tucker was not to be allowed to go. His father and mother were too busy; and besides, circuses cost money. For two weeks the flaunting temptation of the colored posters had been crying out to him from every barn and fence post: he had gone to bed at night with elephants and clowns attending his last conscious moments.

It was the big, friendly, open- hearted Mer Juergens, so easy to love, I told him the whole story, not forgetting Charley ‘Tucker.

My heart gave a great bound. Something had broken loose in the market apparently; May wheat was quoted at 72 1-2 It may have been ten days later that I found one morning another envelope on my desk. Inside was a memorandum of the sale of my wheat and a check for $1,165, I could hardly believe my eyes. More than eleven Yrundréd dollars. More money than my father received for a whole year's work; more than my share in the store would have brought me in a year, had T stayed in Merwin Eleven hundred and @ixty-five dol- lars.

Three months before I would have been torn with doubt; the chack represented the profits of gambling in wheat; ought T to take it, T would have asked myself, Now, there was no questioning; instead I felt a warm glow of satisfaction which I thought was thankfulness, I had rather dropped out of the habit of saying my prayers after the fest week or so in New York, To-night my neglect stood up in my memory accusingly, God had been leasing me, and T had hot thanked Him.
