One sees wo men wearing them for all but wening occasions. Some of the fabric weaves are so fine and so cleverly made that one cannot tell them from suede at a short distance, they are shaped to the hand with a care that was never before bestowed m this kind of glove. Gray is most effective, as are also some shades of mede and tan. UM boils are most painful and result generally from a decay ed root of a tooth, which . causes the inflammation and abscess that resolves itself Into a gum boil. Foment the outside of the face with a hot camomile and poppy head fomentation and apply a small, white bread-and-milk poultice to the gum "boil. Renew frequently. So soon as the pain and swelling have disap peared, it is best to have, the tooth re moved. In cases where decayed and ulcerated roots have been allowed to remain disease of the jawbone has re suted. Usually when the sufferer takes cold there will be a renewal of the inflammation, pain and annoyance.

In such cases a home-made substitute is to put one of the thin alco hol hot-water heaters, which may, be bought for about $1, under a cane-seated chair. The bather, after the lamp is lighted, seats herself on the chair and wraps around it and herself a heavy blanket. She should remain un til in a profuse perspiration, when she should jump into a bath that has been filled with moderately hot water. Rub vigorously and spray with water that has gradually been made very cold. Finish with, hard friction with a rough towel and lie down for an hour if possible.

Try MAN and woman who consti J tute in themselves a little ways mmZl and means committee, who re gard their relation to each oth er in the light of a loving partnership and who would no more infringe or pose upon that partnership than they would upon a business cooperation, are putting their marriage upon a basis so firm that no storm, no mattei how cyclonic, will ever be able to shake it "But how shall I attack the subject?"- a distressed girl cries, who is afraid her sweetheart will be disillu sioned. "I never get an opportunity to talk about monetary affairs with Dick. I suppose he makes enough to support me, otherwise he wouldn't want to marry me, and if he loves, me, as he certainly does, beyond the per adventure of a doubt, he will surely not let me be without money."... He won't perhaps, if he remembers but men are forgetful by nature.,They have no idea, of just what it costs to run a house unless they are taught, and the beginning, when all things are rosy and bright, is the beat and only time to do the teaching. All men like to see their wives look ing well, but how many of them real ize what it costs for a woman, to achieve satisfactory, sartorial results? Most young brides start their wedded life with an ample trousseau, the con sequence being that when this ward, robe is ready for the. rag-bag the wo man finds that no provision has been made for them to come out of the fam ily income. "Clothes?" Mr. Newly-Wed, who is still madly enamored of his spouse, will ask vacantly, "why, in heaven's name, do you need new clothee? You always look better than any other wo man, and you are looking positively beautiful at this minute." And the .sensitive bride, who knows in her heart that she is beginning to look decidedly "last yearish," will swallow the compliment, and wonder how she is going to open the subject again without too much annoyance to her liege lord. Pretty soon she will realize the error of her courage and wish she had done differently at the start. x There's an qld French proverb which says, "It's only the first step that comits." And in the matter of an ante-nuptial . agreement regarding finances it-is only the first step that counts. All men deep down in their hearts admire the good business wo man, the one who has a level head on her shoulders. The girl who tactfully suggests to her fiance, when he is in a receptive, acquiescent mood, that he should initiate her into the secret of his financial affairs, and that they should discuss together the amount to be spent on this and the amount to be paid out for that, will find 10 chances to one that he will fall in with her plan immediately and admire her for her "spunk" in the bargain. A good arrangement is to make pro vision for all the household necessi ties at first and then divide the re mainder equally between husband and wife. Of course, after the bills for rent, food, light, heat, servant's hire and doctor's bills have been summed up, there may only be a small bit left. But, such as it is, it should be divid ed equally, for, though a man who goes forth into the business world ev ery day may need more pocket money than the wife at home, yet the latter's clothes, no matter how unpretentious they are, will certainly cost more than his. And what a world of nagging and worry would be avoided if every cou ple would hut start their married life on a common-sense financial basis! A little talk in the beginning will save much talk afterwards. The mar ried woman who has no stated allow ance will find that the . money ques tion faces her at all. times and on all sides. She cannot get away from it. She will never know just) where she is raC She cannot run her menage with any attempt a$ system, because of her uncertainty, ' and sooner or later her husband' is bound to reproach her wttlYynw-that ahe never, sees yr:rr without "talkiivs about money." v II I) I if f-, f ; -, S. u, & i- if ' " J AT WHEATLESS MEALS BY EDNA EGAN.

This bulletin shows that corn meal dishes can be made to take the place of those made of wheat, and supplies more than 50 tested recipes for its use for breakfast, luncheon and dinner.
