To Cut Hot Brown Bread.

After many failures and many sticky knives in trying to fllce a hot loaf of brown bread, I finally tried a piece of fine wire, such as comes with shipping tags, or it may be had by the spool in fancy-work stores. This worked beautifully. The same wire maj_be used Indefinitely.

It is a pltr more women have not vanity about their ears such as lad the Empress Josephine to make their care one of the chief parts of her toilet. Her ears were her best feature; she knew it and did everything to enhance their beauty. Most women will not even take the trouble to hide ear defects. Is the shape bad? Use ear caps of the right shape and use them constantly; spasmodic beauty doctoring is almost worse than none. Childhood even babyhood is the best time for the use of these caps, but they have done wonders of flattening when vanity awoke late.

An ear cap that can be easily fashioned at home consists of three strips of muslin. One Is bound round the head to hold the ears in place, the lecond is fastened around the forelead to secure the first strip, and the third is bound diagonally across the ears. Such a contrivance is much less heating than the nightcap affairs formerly worn as ear-flatteners. Another defect in ears is that they are lifeless dull and colorless. For this there is a sort of ear massage. If the hobes are pinched daily they should become plumper and pink instead of a sickly bluish tint. Lightly pinching the rims will overcome their dead, lifeless look, and frequent pressure of the ear against the head will give them a better set. Some women make up their ears, as well as e their faces. It must be carefully and artistically done, as there is nothing more unsightly than a rim of powder on the edge of the ear. While pink lobes are considered marks of beauty, red ears are distinctly ugly and should be hidden either by the arrangement of the hair or by making up.

Sometimes slight bleaching with peroxide has a whitening effect; more often !a little flesh-tinted powder is rubbed in while the lobes are rouged i brilliant pink. A rosy lobe is thought to make the face younger and co add color to the cheeks. If the hair is pulled out loosely uound the ears even slightly concealing the tips, It will do much to correct ugliness. This does not mean che tight slicked bands of hair that make women look not only earless, but old. -
