3IABEJC gloves have gained a
n great vogue since the begin
s!J ning of the war. 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.

closed in . winter that almost
every one has become recon

sweep through the room at will. But a
clever woman has at last found a so
lution to the problem, and such a sim

cuse for its not having been used long
ago. The curtains may be fastened to
gether with patent clasps, of course,
just like tailored gloves are fastened,
or skirts. Why not? The arrange
ment is almost invisible, and would
never be discovered were the little
balls and sockets sewn to the wrong
side of a thick curtain. They are easy
to undo and easy to refasten, and the
discovery may fill many a long-felt
want in houses where the living room

portieres.

XPENSE is Often an objection to
the Turkish bath. 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.

PARTNERSHIP
BY MRS. McCLURE.
Try MAN and woman who consti

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

tion faces her at all. times and on all
sides. She cannot get away from it.
