Velvet and Fur Sait.

The velvet street suit trimmed with fur is the fad. , These little suits are Jaunty and graceful and are cut in short walking length, a band of fur trimming the bottom, as well as bordering the coat and the draped velvet turban. This suit is of royal blue velvet and the border fur is sealskin, the blue velvet turban having a sealskin border and an ornament of dull silver and blue. Some Dou'ta (or Wive*. Don't begrudge your husband a few hours spent with his men friends. You meet friends. Be considerate and give him the same privilege. Don’t bother- him with troublesome trifles that happen during the day. Don’t whine and complain over household difficulties. Don’t overwork and be tired and cross when he comes home. Your husband will see you tired and irritable where he will not be conscious of a few grains of dußt which you may have dissipated at the expense of your strength. Don’t let yourself get old and ugly. Take time to keep yourself young and to cultivate good looks. If you can’t be beautiful, try to be interesting. Don’t forget to cultivate your mind. Read about what is going on in the great world, so that if he makes a remark on current events you will be able to answer him Intelligently Instead of giving him a blank stare. Don’t inquire how his business is unless you are sure from his face that he has something pleasant to tell you. ■ . u Auitard ridtrr. Trim the crust from a thin slice of light bread,then sprinkle it thickly with ground mustard.’ Spread a thin cloth ,aud dampen with vinegar or water. Your pis -ter is all

A piece of bread well dampened is better as a poultice than either flax seed or slippery elm, and will neither dry out nor sour so quickly. Health and Beauty Hints. Change of employment gives rest, but not sufficient for the needs of the body. The absolute idleness, if it may be so called, of sleep i$ essential to health. Nervousness due to hurry and high pressure is ohe of the most active moters of indigestion. A few mintrtds’ relaxation before eating will help to cure this difficulty. The wise use of ten minutes every day in active rigorous exercise aimed at enlivening the vital organs rather than at mere muscular development will go far to induce a healthy body. Spotted veils are hurtful. That is true of all striped visible clothing, blinds, wall papers, etc. All rapid alternations of light and shade are bad, as when walking by a line of tall railings through whose spaces a brilliant sun is shining. Freedom of bodily activity insures health, since .it helps to clear away the waste and debris of the physiological processes. The kidneys can do their work well if plenty of water is taken. Most people drink too little water. A daily average of six glasses is not too much in most cases.
