How, wbv will n«.t women use hygienic common senso in trying to preserve their good look*! Twenty minutes twice a day is enough to win the boon of comparative youth—that is not a high price to pay—nc* nearly so high as balms, lotions and powders.

Why do crow's feet come? Because the laughing musclc* contract in a way to bring wrir' les to the corners of tbe These mo .•* get strong with daily hourly service, and the skin in time fails into the rut, since there is little otter development of tho face to offset this. Tbo mouth—the feature to first show years—compresses often in a habit of anxious thought, nervous energy or in bad temper. The drawn down muscles harden in their work and the mask is soon fixed.

To keep tho young outline tbo entire face should be equally used, nor any one set of muscles allowed to become over developed at the expense of the rest. This can only be done by artificial means. Tbo best implement for this is fortunately always available —the hand. This, together with a face chart where the muscles are exposed, as a guide to Intelligent work, will do all that is required. A regular system may be arranged to be pursued day after day, with such variations as will suggest themselves to the delighted dame.

If tho chin is peaked and shrunken, draw the under lip up into the mouth, and then with the fingers gently pull it back into place. The warm sensation that will be speedily felt at that point will show that the blood has been called there to an unusual degree. For I tllow and flaccid cheeks stand beforo a glaw and smile from ear to ear. Now with tho fingers or palms press against the muscles that have risen across the cheek bones, find repeat the pressure and resistance raanv times.

What woman out of her first youth does not notice with dismay the little baggy pouch that comes under the chin, just at its junction with the neck? At first it is as if a small claw were underneath the skin. This goes on from bad to worse until tho neck is "scrawny," a symptom of decay which neither rucho nor collar can hide. This calamity need not happen to any woman. To prevent it lie in a horizontal position without a pillow. In this position there is no tension. Press the band upon the forehead and repeatedly try to lift tho bead against that resistance. In the samo way move tho head frotfi side to side until thoroughly tired, offering always tho band's resistance. For tho back neck muscles clasp tho bands behind tho head and lift it against its downward pressure.

Ono lady who tried this neck exercise soon increased her collar size a number and a half. The neck grew round and firm and pillar

It#. In connoction with these exercises daily hand massage of the skin is necessary. This will prevent wrinkles. Deep kneading of the entire surface of tho face, neck and chest will get the blood in tho habit of going to tbo delicate capillaries. That is the secret of a good complexion—^jae and unimpeded circulation. If the skin is dry a little fino oil will restore the satiny look of sweet sixteen. Hot water in washing is good if succeeded by the oold douche. Tho reaction produced by tfeis is only another means of bringing the blood to the front

Anything that will do

that will keep tho face young. Actresses keep their bloom longer than any other women. It is because they use their faces in portraying a great variety of emotions. Their profession is a soul gymnasium far the development of expression. Their most obeouro muscles are brought constantly into play, and instead of a story of atrophy and decline, which torpid and aimless lives write on fading faces, they obey the law of use and remain alive and lively away on into uwneotionablo years.—Chicago Tribune.

The Convent en e* of Bags.

The rag bag bas long been a family institution, and, by its side, in a secluded corner of the clotbesprees, we now often find another of calico or muslin containing rolls of dress pieces that may come in use in tho remaking, and also a bag of bright bits of woolen, silesia and silk awaiting the day when deft fingers shall torn them to tho beautifying of the hornet Bach bag bas attached to it a sturrlied muslin label with the contents written thereon.

In the sleeping room the number of bags that are used may seem bewildering, yet so gnat is the difference in sise, shape and material that each seems to be the one thing without which the room would not bo complete. On one of the posts of the bead board (If there are no poets a screw book may be fastened in Just at the back) hangs a dainty Mttio bit of embroidery drawn in at top with a shirr string and fitted with pockets for cough candy, scent bottle and matches and with the large center spooe left open for prayer book or novel On tho opposite side of the bed is suspended a larger bag corresponding in material to the counterpane and plllowshauu, in which is kept the night gown. On tho door we find two rows of shallow bags, the lower, of thin leather, divided into compartments for shoes, and tho upper, of linen crash, prettily outlined and provided with a flap to protect the stockings which it contains* This bag should be the full width oC the door and deep enough to admit two rolled pain of stockings.

In a convenient corner hangs an uableachcd muatlin bag, of gsosruos dimeosfams, traced with large figure, often of washerwomen carrying baskets. A peep within shows us aoiled aprons, stockings, handkerchief)* and all the small articles that aocumulata daring the week. Just over it ie a smaller bag of the same material that holds collars ami cuffs awaiting the laundry. Nearer the window is the crocheted and lined acrap bag, and by the bureau bangs a bag for bruA and comb also tag* for enmbings, hair pine and various toOet articles.

drinking. If a player wins he argues that be can afford to takeadrink if be loses, tben be takes a drink to keep up bis courage or drown bis sorrow, and so it goes on. This was the sort of crowd this man got into, and it was not long before be got into the habit at coming borne long after midnight, and tbsu only in so intoxicated a condition that be could scarcely be put to bed. Meantime his losses were running into the thousands, and bis wife began to fear for her fortune, which was entirely in his bands. She tried all sbe knew bow to keep him at home, but without avaiL

She was now thoroughly alarmed, and sent for her aunt, to wbom she told tbe whole story and asked her advice. The aunt, who had had some experience in such matter*, said to her: "Wait up for him, and when be comes to tbe door open it and receive him as pleasantly as if everything were all right Have some hot coffee all ready, his slippers warmed and his easy chair drawn np, and wait on him tenderly, and make yourself so agreeable that bo will prefer your company to that of tbe club room and gaming table and keep playing this card till it wins."

She tried it and succeeded so well that sbe is now as happy as any woman in Boston. Now, this cure was effected by kindness and coffee, and let it not be forgotten that a good cup of coffee will, after a very few trials, be preferred to any form of alcoholic drink by tbe most inveterate drunkard. But bow many women are they who know bow to make good coffee? I will venture to say, without fear of contradiction, not one in a huhdred and yet it is a very simpie matter, if one only knows how. No elaborate apparatus is neoessary. The writer bas made excellent coffee in an old tomato can. He bas also made it equally goad, no better, in a gorgeous silver plated hydrostatic urn. But an ordinary coffee pot will do very well if a small iron ring Is made to fit the top to this ring sew a small muslin bag grind the coffee fine as possible, and, allowing a teaspoonful for each cup of coffee required, put it in the bae. Now pour on your boiling water, close down the lid, and when it has filtered through, the coffee is made. It requires no settling, and after the first trial tbey will make no trouble. Coffee made in this way is at least one-third cheaper and a great deal better than when made in the ordinary way, besides having no grounds. If you griivA tbe coffee yourself it will repay you ten fold, as coffee which has been ground some time loses its strength and aroma. The milk should be heated, not boiled.—Boston Globe.

Care of Kerosene Lamps.

The portion of the wick which is in the oil reservoir should be enclosed in a tubo of thin sheet metal, open at the bottom or in a cylinder of fine wire gauze, such ns is used in miners' safety lamps (twenty-eight meshes to the incU).

The oilj*eservoir should be of metal, rather than of china or glass. The oil reservoir should have no feeding place nor opening other than the opening into which the upper part of the lamp is strewed.

Every lamp should have a proper extinguishing apparatus. Every lamp should have a broad and heavy base.

Wicks should bo soft, not too tightly plaited. Wicks should be dried at the fire before being put into the lamps.

Wicks should be only just long enough to reach the bottom of the oil reservoir. Wicks should be so wide that they quite fill the wick holder without having to be squeezed into it.

Wicks should be soaked with oil before being lit. Tho reservoir should be quite filled with oil every time before using the lamp.

The lamp should be kept thoroughly clean all oil should be carefully wiped off, and all charred wick and dirt removed before lighting.

When the lamp is lit tho wick should be at first turned down, and then slowly raised. Lamps which have no extinguishing apparatus should be put out as follows: Tho wick should be turned down until there is only a small flickering flame, and a sharp puff or breath should then be sent across the top of the chimney, bnt not down it

Cans or bottles used for oil should be free from water and dirt, and should be kept thoroughly closed.—Good Housekeeping.

The Anxious, "Troubled" Martha. The whole world of minute annoyances that beset our painstaking housekeeper in the effort to bring the work of hirelings up to her standard of faithful service is not worth a tear-—hardly a sigh. Tho philosophic manager whose sense of proportion and fitness is above tbe average of her sex takes up ashes (figuratively) with a long ^landied flro shovel. Our anxious and troubled ("cumbered" in the original)Martha goes down upon her knees on tbo hearth and plunges ber tender bands into the heap.

The saddert md one of the most significant things I over ...\w was a woman in an insane asylum who did nothing all day long but wash and polish one window pane. Nothing diverted ber from tbe task. With puckered forehead and folded lips, ber eyes set on the gl—i sbe breathed upon it, scrubbed it with ber apron, and went over and over each inch of tbe shining surface until the heart of tbe beholder ached wearily. Sbe bad been doing n»t one thing, and nothing etw, for four yean.

Since tben she bas stood with me as tbe type of thousands whose vision is narrowing hourly through absorption in work, which is not degrading in itself—which is excellent in its time and respectable in*its plaoo—-but was never meant to fill tbe borixoo of any human being's mental or spiritual sight,— Marion Harlanrt in Once a Week.

prartScal cast, was experimenting with ber by change of {dace and treatment, including in the latter even clairvoyanoe. Tba case attracted attention from the singular combination of intelligence with an air of lawl ness and independence of maternal control. A single remark of tbe mother sbed light on tbe painful mystery, when, alluding to her unyielding spirit under uncongenial authority, sbe said: "Shealways bad her own way."

We were reminded of a statement made by Dr. whose special work in bis profession was tbe treatment, privately, of the insane, that many of tbe most trying and difficult case* among his patients had been tbe young people of wealthy and indulgent parents, wbo were never taught obedience, and were driven by an imperious will which could not brook control but became more and more exacting in its demands, into a moral insanity, which, sooner or later, included tbe mental state. What a fact in parental responsibility! And how inexorable the divine law, so benign in its operations when allowed to fill its design, in its visitations of penalty if disregarded, whether from unnatural and cruel neglect,' or an equally cruel perversion of it by ruinous indulgence. —The Congregationalism 'if

No Right of Choice

But, oh, the difference with a woman! Her whole strong womanhood may be reaching out for a home lifo with husband and children. She may feel that that, and that only, can satisfy her soul. But how can she gain it.' Only the right to refuse is hers. She cannot choose. She may have offers, offers that she cannot bring herself to accept, and she may never bave any. In either case she IS condemned to a life of long waiting and hoping for that which never comes.

Few if any women pass through life without loving truly at some time—but what of that? Sbe loves ber very love ma^esher timid. She cannot in any way seek to win the man wbom she worships that would be bold, unmaidenly. In the effort to keep dpwn her feelings sbe is reserved to coldness when with him. He does not suspect her love, and in nine ca9es out of ten never asks ber to marry him. If he dreamed that she cared for him how different it might be! If she could simply say to him, "I lovo you I could ask no greater happiness than to become your wife," all doubts would be at once over. She would know her fate, but now thousands of women go on for years, loving some one in silence, with bitter weeping. So they drag out a weary existence in singleness, or marry where they do not love.—Hazel Clarr in Boston Globe. fist,*

1 Tho Despotism of Order. ,i j. Among tbe superstitions of education are mose

IU

favor of what is called order. It is

not that there is no such thing as order, but that its advocates aro bigoted, narrow and exclusive. It is coolly taken for granted that if what somebody calls order isgood what that same somebody calls disorder is bad. As if there might not be bad order and good disorder! What is order as applied to things? It is simply arrangement according to some notion, and disorder is simply arrangement according to somo other notion. If a parlor is arranged with chairs in rows all around the walls, with everything iu right lines, every one says: "How stiff, how intolerable, how little taste is manifested I"

Bat swing round tho lounge in the corner carelessly let the chairs be scattered about, just as they would be if persons had but now used tbent shove tbe center table a little out of the very middle of the medallion, so that it shall not be set, and then people say the parlor has asocial and easy air. What is this but a disguised revolt against potiam of order!—New York Ledger.

A Woman's Daily life.

The round of a woman's daily life may be characterized as one part work, three parts worry.

Her husband's day by day labor is usually one part worry and three parts work. The weight, strain and rub of lier duties fall upon the heart and nerves. Tho heavy pull of his is upon muscle and mind.

There are many reasons why this should be so, and why the disposition of life's work will always be thus apportioned. Men have strength—women endurance. Men are courageous—women patient.—Marion Harland iu Once a Week.

A Source of Diseomfoirtl

People who exercise some care in the master of their food are often compelled by the laws of politeness to eat in tbe houses of their friends what is certain to cause them great discomfort, if not actual suffering. I bare noticed that those who are thus careful in regard to their food are apt to be considered unreasonable and "cranky" by those who are not, and that tbe latter appear to think it Is better to give their visitors what they like themselves rather than what their visitors like.—"Man in the Moon" in Good Housekeeping.-^ inordinary bureau drawn*, such as most of us us*, should be nicely covered with paper on the bottom. This saves the woodwork from du4t or stain from any unfortunate liquid that may leak or spill into it, and renders the cleaning of the drawer simple. If you bave but one or two drawers for all of your things it is well to have boxes for tbe smaller articles and thus keep them S|P% rate and nice. ^J

Tbe same amount of care and neataew should be observed for tbe family as for strangers, or as one dear ok honsekeeper said, "My dear, what is good enough for my husband Is good enough for hi? friend.* As in ber home everything was always in perfect onier, it was easy to understand this rule, especially as she considered ber brnband tbe most distinguished guest.

Many people use oil with impunity for kindling, by dipping wood into it before placing tbe wood in tbe stove, or even by pouring it over wood that has been laid in a cold rtovo before lighting tbe fire bnt tbe wboie proceeding is attended with daqgar, particularly in tin bands of unintelligent ssrvants, and ought not to be practiced.

WHAT SHALL WE WEAR!

RECOGNIZED STYLES IN THE WORLD J, OF FASHION. t-rt J1

New Oeisatuls te Seal Skin sad Fan for Winter Wear—All About UM Boas, Collars, Capes, Haft tad Seal Jackets Dear to tbe Hearts of tbe Ladles.

Boas, collars and shoulder capes made their appearance with tha first frosty days of autumn. Tbe stylish boos are round and of long fluffy fur, and should be chosen long enough to touch tbe foot of the dress they may also serve as the trimming far the fronts of long redingotes, and with a round muff, larger than those of last year, they constitute the fashionable "set of fur." Russian sable boas are the first choice. Then, according to Harper's Basar, are Hudson bay sable boas, black marten, black lynx, black fox, blue fox, black bear and brown bear and tbe light yellowish brown badger boas. The new plastron collars of long fleeced furs are round and wide behind, with the fronts pointed to the waist line like a vest they are warm and becoming, and are mode in all tbe fashionaide long furs.

The new fur plastron,"Medici," is arranged with a reversible collar, which can be worn either lying flatly around the neck or in an upright position, as shown in the illustration. It is numbered with the moet becoming novelties that bave been introduced this season. Shoulder capes or pelerines are more popular than at any former season. Toung ladies wear them because they are just short enough to disclose slender long waists, and older ladies like them for the protection they give the chest and shoulder blades and because they are easily put on and off.

FIO. 1—1"MEDICI," THE NSW FUR PLASTRON. Short jackets with dosety fitted long waists ore the fashionable fur garments for young ladies, and for older ladies who retain their Blendemess. These jackets are made of seal skin, of Persian lamb, or of leopard skins, and of two furs in combination. The plain seal jacket is the best choico for careful buyers, and averages twenty-five inches in length. The back is left open below the waist line, and laps there to adjust itself to various tournures. In the annexed illustration is shown the "La Russe," an Alaska seal short coat, fastened on the shoulder with two large seal buttons. In this same illustration may also be seen tbe "Siberia-," a fine Russian bear collarette and boa combined. The newest short wraps of sealskin combine a jacket and mantle or cape for instance, a jacket of sealskin has a cape front curving open from the throat, covering the coat sleeves, and going into tbe back forms from the shoulders down precisely as many mantles do.

Long sealskin cloaks that cover the wearer from throat to foot are more nearly fitted to the figure than formerly, and are most often left open in the back of the skirt instead of having the fullness over the tournure, that adds so much to their weight.

Fashions In Gloves.

Tan, gray, black and white gloves are tbe only colors used in a fashionable woman's outfit, and it is quite possible for her to be well gloved with all ber various kinds of gloves in tan shades, very dark tan color being used for the street in tbe daytime and very light tan for evening. Gray gloves are worn with gray dresses, as are black also white gloves aro now fashionable with white dresssa, knit light tan shades are oftener used, even by bridesmaids.

The undressed kid gloves of light quality, with oorded backs, are tbe fashionable choice for visiting and carriage toilets, but heavier kkl gloves bave wide stitching of self color or of black, and are most used for morning walking toilets and with tailor gowns of doth. Some of tbeee are fastened by four large gilt buttons, while others are in tba sec shape, without an opening at tbe wrist. Evening gloves are as loog as ever, and again reach to the lower edge of the short sleeves tbey are in mousqueiaire shape, and mf*. be quite plain on tbe back, being very simply corded there. Tbe "drawn seams1* with edges of the kid showing, are on stylish gloves, and are quite new on Mack gloves, snowing white edges of the kkL

liant combinations of primary colors bave been altogether done away with, anu in iheir place we have tintB and tones that, in contrast with the shades formerly seen, look fculnrt and dull.

Amoug new things in market is a very thick, fine, long pile, printed plush. The pile is entirely of silk, and the material is said to be more durable than any plush ever put on tbe market. The grounds are in various colors, a delicate cream shade with old rose figures being among the most attractive.

An attractive new material is mohair plush in cut and frise surface. These goods are brought out in all of the popular colors, and are among the most durable of all plush surfaced materials.

Plushes are iu very general use for medium to high class furniture. They are now rarely used by themselves, but are combined with tapestries and various corded fabrics, and occasionally with plain satin. Tho new mottled plushes are exceptionally pretty and stylish. Tho surface is very slightlj* pressed, giving it none of the mussy cffect so evident in the earlier productions of this sort

Printed velvet is brought out in the most exquisite colorings in exact copy of natural flowers. These velvets are coming into general use among amateurs for applique work. Tho flowers are cut from the velvet and appliqued upon line cloth, felt or other material.

Superb portieres, draperies and table covers may be made iu the applique work just mentioned, according to the journal quoted, which also furnishes the accompanying design for a portiere. The figures, after being placed on the now ground work, are attached by buttonhole stitch, or by sewing through with a cord. A very easy fashion is to leavo a narrow margin around the figures, base them firmly in place and stitch the edges with fine silk on the sewing machine tbo rough edge may then be trimmed off very closely and a braid so placed as to cover tho stitching and the cut edge of tho material. For the desigu here given, any suitable material of an opaque color may tc used. The trellis, vine and grape to be appliqued in plush—natural coloi-s. Iu treating the leaves the different shades of green will be obtained according as the plush is laid on, i. e., with reference to the direction of its nap.

Dinner a

1*

RUM*.

If dinner is to be served a la russe, that is everything handed by the servants, the table is prcpaml as follows:

When tbe cloth is laid arrange the colored mat, or "runner," as it is now called, in its place evenly down the middle. On this set the fruit, flowers, dried ginger, salted almonds or bon bona, all in cut glass, silver or fancy china dishee. According to Good Housekeeping, wbich gives these directions, tbe runner is optional, but it is very effective.

Now measure with tbe hand from the edge of the table to the end of tbe middle finger and place the first glass. Continue this measurement around the table for each goblet, beside which group the claret and champagne glasses, if wines are served. Then eet a plate at each place, large enough to hold tbe majolica oyster plate of the first course, which is removed with the oyster plate. Now arrange three forks on the left (one of these is the oyster fork) and two knivee on the rigbt (the larger of the two being used for meat}. The soup spoon and napkin are also placed on tbe right. Fold tbe napkin iu a three cornered pyramid in which lay a roll of bread, and before each plate place a small •alt cellar either of cut glass, silver or fine china. If a menu is used it is laid either in front or at the side of the plate, beside tbeee. Nothiug should lie placed upon tbe table (unless indeed it be a grand dinner), as everything Is pasted by tbe maids, and arranged for beforehand on the sideboard. An extra supply of knives, forks, spoons, sauce ladlee, dessert forks, spoons and knives, plates, wine glasses, dinner places and napkins should be set ready.

Tea Stains.

Practical housekeepers agree that tea •tains are difficult things to manage. One says: Glycerine rubbed on them will often remove tea stains, but if they are of long irt-«iM{'%irtbey are very hard to remove. Another affirms that nothing will take tea •tains out of a cloth that has once been washed, but if milk is poured at once on the spot where the tea is spilled washing will remove it.

A third Is more hopeful and claims that theae steins will yield to an application of chloride of lime. Stir a teaspoonful of this into a teacupful of hot water when cold, and tbe sediment has settled at tbe bottom, poor off tbe clear liquid and dip tbe stain Into it three or four times, not krtting it He rinse in clear water, when all traces of tee should bare disappeared.
