TOILET TIPS. Don't go to bed without brushing the teeth, Of the mineral acids as skin whiten ers only one is of service hydrochloric. It is well to start with a weak solu tion say 1 per cent. To whiten and soften the skin par boil a few medium sized potatoes, re move the skins and use them as you t would a piece of 6oap for washing the hands. A bit of pumice stone is to be found on the dressing table of most women these days and is invaluable in remov Jng all traces of grime on finger tips or around the nails. Two drops of camphor on your tooth brush will give your mouth the fresh est, cleanest feeling imaginable, will make your gums rosy and absolutely prevent anything like cold sores or af fections of your tongue. The water, of the toilet must be soft. If possible use distilled water. A little boras or a few drops of ammonia will 60ften hard water, but habitual use of either is not advisable, too dry a skin being the result A water softener is better. . Oriental Rues. In buying antique or modern oriental rnes there is a trick of the trade to ue looked out for. Many old rugs are so touched before displayed for sale that the home furnisher is easily deceived into thinking she is purchasing perfect ly genuine goods. This is accomplished hv the crafty oriental by various proc esses. He shaves the upper surface of the weave, removing the worn, faded part and of course lessening the wear ing nowers of the rug. or he retints the upper surface with water colors. A rug frequently shaved is easily recognized bv thinness and lack of body. To as certain that the rug you have in view has not been touched up with pigments have It sent home on approval and be fore deciding to buy it take a clean, soft muslin rae. dip la clear water, wring out well and with it go gently over the Hurface of the rug. If the rug shows Eism nt coloring matter, a deduction mfiT he drawn. This treatment will not irMnr imnd rug in any way. It will be found an efficient means of detect ing cheats. Good Housekeeping. The Ideal Nursery. Tn an article on "An Ideal Nursery,' hv Carrie Slay Ashton, in the Mothers' Journal, It is urged that children be made so haDDy In the nursery that they will b made happy twenty years hence bv the memory of it. A large, ngnt, sunny room is a perfect delight to most children and makes them stronger men tally, morally and physically. Simplic ity should be the keynote here and har mony throughout the furnishings. Tint the walls or use a plain ingrain paper of a Boft tan color or sage green, which make an admirable background for nittre. A hardwood floor, wltn a laree rue. is easy to keep clean and preferable from a sanitary point of view. Low bookcases filled with the children's books should be found here; also a place for their specimens, a writ- insr dk. a comfortable couch ana plen ty of chairs. There should be an abun dance of cupboard space', with deep drawers In a closet opening out of this room sufficient for each child, where games, toys and other treasures can be carefully stowed awayf IN T h B B ES T OF H UM O - a. a A A A l 9 V V V A V w T 7 T - .. a. T j 1 A A A A V W V V W The Trained Woman. Dr. Edward Alderman, president of Tulane university, Louisiana, has strik ingly defined for us the qualities that go to make the "trained woman." In an address to a class of Tulane women graduates Dr. Alderman said that the age called loudly for more trained wo men. "The trained woman is one who has no 'nerves,' who has a good, strong body, is swift to serve others and who has a mind that wishes to know why things are as they are. "Such women are needed in the home first of all, for the woman who builds a home is as great as the one who writes an epic poem. The trained wo man is needed in society, for at the last the woman is the teacher by the laws of her life and her subtle graces of mind, heart and perception." v Characteristic Worth. The woman who carries herself well is more apt to command respect than the woman who trudges along with her head inclined forward and her shoul ders in a stooping position. The pos sessor of a graceful, erect carriage un consciously impresses us as having characteristic worth, says the Pittsburg Observer. There are many noble heart ed women who really do theSselves in justice by the awkward way they car ry themselves. It is very hard for oth ers to see beauty and grace of heart in an unlovely outward appearance. It is the exterior charm of the rose that gives fitting expression to its hidden sweetness. Are Women Too Restless? The American woman is restless, dis satisfied. Society, whether among the highest or lowest classes, has driven her toward a destiny that is not nor mai. The factories are full of old maids. The colleges are full of old maids. The ballrooms in the worldly milieux are full of old maids. For nat ural obligations are substituted the fic titious duties of clubs, committees, meetings, organizations, professions, a thousand unwomanly occupations. Everybody's Magazine. Mutton Fat. j If uncooked mutton fat is soaked in cold water twenty-four hours, then cooked in water, putting a scant quar ter teaspoonful of soda to a quart of water, it loses Its strong taste and can be used for pastry. Do the same with mutton drippings. All bacon and ham, , i 4 A SPORT. "Although considerably ahead the same Mr. Tenspott refused to Stop.' WHAT HE THOUGHT SHE MEANT. Mrs..
