No Trouble to Keep
Skin Free From Hairs
(The Modern Beauty.)
There is no need for any woman to
countenance superfluous nairs. because
with a paste made by mixing some
powdered delatone with water it is easy
to get rid of them. The paste is ap
plied for 1 to 3 minutes, then rubbed
off and the skin washed. This treat
ment will rid the skin of hair without
leaving a blemish, but care should be
taken to see that you get real delatone.

THERE Is no note of sameness in
the mid-Winter fashions to dull
the enthusiastic shopper. Practically
everything is different and all that
suggests Winter to now in the Portland
shops. The Spring things will be here
at the close of January. An open se
cret about the stores is the story that
the Spring styles will be almost Iden
tical with the Winter fashions, only
varied in places. For instance, we are
to have the same pleated and circular
skirts but enlivened with stitchings.
braid, bandings and on some materials
ruffles. There is to be a decided waistline.
Stripes are still good and will run
around instead of up and down. Any
one who possesses a smart little taf
feta frock which was in vogue at tne
beginning of the Winter will be happy
over the news that the same dress will
be perfectly good this Spring. Taf
feta suits, some of them three-piece,
will be worn all Spring with hats of
the same material.
Soft broadcloths, that are not too
heavy A quality and of the same style
as were worn this Fall and winter,
will be popular this Spring and will be
braided Instead of fur-trimmed, borne
interesting models are worked up In
whipcords and leather. Leather is to
be henceforth a regular part of mi
lady's apparel. Striped, plaid or plain
circular skirts will be soon seen with
white and colored leather sport coats.
Some of the coats are knee length,
some shorter and some slip over the
head like a sailor blouse. With leather
hat to match, the new sport coat is
indeed smart.
Street frocks with high collars and
lines unique and original are coming
daily. They are of Georgette crepe,
with broadcloth and plain taffeta com
bined with strips and plaids. Gaber
dines are also combined with silks, or
severely plain with queer braided cuffs
and collars.
A number of new hats that are being
shown are interesting and decidedly
different from any which have recent
ly been designed. A cretonne brim
provides merely a base for a striking
near-wicker crown, which is medium
high and full and of moderate width.
The whole is suggestive of a prettily
draped artistic bit of porch furniture.
A gray hat with a vivid Prussian blue
facing and little piquant fruits dan
gling from the- top of the crown is
chic. Still another hat for early Spring
in of heavy satin with golden brown,
silvery gray and green leaves and
Spring buds that are still green and
small and Springlike for trimmings.

The Profits ef Housekeeping.
THE subject of housekeeping has
probably never been so much dis
cussed as at present. The housekeeper
who plods along cooking and sweeping
and mending may not realise all that
Is being done for her work, but it Is
being analyzed, probed, dissected as
never before. And not only are its
material aspects being considered in
all their phases with a view, of course,
to betteiment. but its ethical values
are coming in for scrutiny. And this
self-same plodding housekeeper will
Wake up some day to lind that the
revolution so long desired and worked
for by thinking women in regard to
housekeeping has taken place. House
keeping will have come into its own.
and the housekeeper will be given that
which she lias hitherto been excluded.
A noted writer and speaker said re
cently. ".No other work yields larger
or more continuous values than house
keeping." The aforesaid plodding housekeeper
may not agree with this. She Is apt
to sniff rather scornfully and think
there is little of real value in cooking
three meals a day that are gobbled and
forgotten; or in straightening up the
house to have it immediately thrown
Into confusion again. The whole thing
seems to her a monotonous round that
has little of permanent profit in it.
Who is right about it? Are there or
are there not profits in housekeeping?
If there are. what are they?
If a woman sees only the immediate
tasks of cooking and sweeping and
mending, tasks must be repeated seem
ingly without end, she may see little of
permanent value in housekeeping.
But if she sees these tasks as simply
cogwheels in a complicated but most
effective piece of machinery that is
turning out something valuable for
life and the community, and the run
ning of which is in her hands, she
may - begin to glimpse some of the
values that are today coming forward
as the housekeeper's rewards.
The preparation of food means health
and vigor and physical happiness for
the members of her family.
The cleanliness and order of the
home brings a feeling of peace and
contentment to those who come in and
go out.
The wise regulation and expenditure
of the income give a sense of steadi
ness and permanence not only to the
family itself, but to the community.
Every woman who manages the fam
ily income in a business-like, judicious
way. is an inspiration and an example
to others to do so. She is the proof
that it can be done.
In a word, the home can stand for
health, for contentment, for sound bus
iness management, for a force for eth
ical good. These are the profits of
housekeeping and they belong to the
one who runs the household machinery.
Are they not large and of real and
permanent value? Indeed do they not
show that the housekeeper's work
reaches into the vital things of life?
In reality, she is dealing with veritable
life substance. She molds it and shapes
it. not only to bring good to herself
and her own, but to her .community.
And she can do this whether her
home is small or large, whether her
means are limited or generous, whether
she lives in a back street in a sordid
quarter or on a broad thoroughfare in
a fashionable district. It is not a ques
tion of her surroundings. It is a ques
tion of herself, her outlook, her spirit.
And after all that brings it home to
each one of us, does it not?
What are the profits you and I are
getting out of our housekeeping? Have
we narrowed it down till we see noth
ing but the daily grind of cooking and
dishwashing and sweeping and mend
ing? Or can we see these merely as the
cogwheels in a piece of machinery that
is weaving a beautiful fabric of life
to bring Joy to those we love and good
to the community about us?

down the hill with the pail jerking
about in her hand. At the spring she
sat down to rest and look about. It
was very pretty over in the woods, but
the meadow was far lovelier with its
smooth, green sod, and about it were
scattered the sheep, some lying in the
shade of the trees.
That little lamb has an easy time
not a thing to do but play all day," re
marked Polly-aloud. "I wish I could
change places. It Is school, then help
about the house till I am tired to
death. '
As Polly stooped to dip the bucket
she noticed a beautiful ring lying in
the bottom of the spring. But before
she could reach to get it the bushes
opened and an old witch walked out,
leaning on a stick.
"I dropped by ring Jn the spring just
now, child," she exclaimed, "and I wish
you would get it out for me."
Now Polly thought it strange that
the witch did not get the ring herself
till she remembered that some witches
are afraid of water. So she knew at
once that this won.an must be a witch,
and she determined to make a bargain.
'I will get you the ring." she said,
"if you will grant me my wish."
The witch said she would grant one
wish for the firl. so Polly dippped down
and fished out the ring.
"Now make your wish." said the
witch, as she waved her hand over tne
girl three times. And Polly wished that
she might be a lamb, playing about the
meadow.
The next moment she felt she had
four legs instead of two, that her
clothing was gone and fn place of it
was soft wool. And when she opened
her mouth to scream she only said
"Baa! Baa!" Badly frightened, she Tan
toward the sheep and one old ram put
down his head and butted her down.
As fast as she got up he would knock
her down with his head, so she fled
down the road toward a grove.
Now there was a picnic being held
in the grove and when the children
&aw a sheep coming they began to
throw stones at It to drive it home.
But Polly was so miserable that she
ran to a group of schoolmates that she
"Oh!" the girls screamed, "that lamb
Is going to butt us; drive it away!"
And they dashed away to climb a
fence. The boys threw mud and sticks
at Polly, who set out on a run for her
own home.
Mrs. Gordon was bringing her milk,

"Good News for
Lovers
of Mystery"
Says Dependable Cauphe Maid, Announcing
Valuable Rewards
for those who find FEATURE D in Dependable Cof
fee, Tea, Extracts, Spices or Baking Powder.
There are four important features A, B, C and D
in Dependable products, especially in Dependable
Coffee at 40c per lb.
The first three are well known to all lovers of "the
cup that cheers." Here they are:
Feature A Freshly roasted.
Feature B Invincible strength.
Feature C Delicate flavor.
Feature D ?
Nobody but the Dependable people themselves know
positively about Feature D.
If you love mystery, if you enjoy novelty, if you
like entertainment, if you would profit, if you are a
coffee connoisseur, if you have a single trace of im
agination or a desire to explore and investigate, take
my advice and you'll find it easy to strike the trail
of FEATURE D, because it's in the coffee itself.
The best part of it to you is that FEATURE D is in
everything put out under the Dependable brand.

"Oh, that is a mad sheep, a mad
sheep," she screamed, and she1 dashed
into the house, shutting the door be
hind her. Poor Polly wandered all
around the house trying to make her
mother understand that it was a little
girl and not a lamb that was crying to
be let in. But the only thing she said
when she opened her mouth was "Baa,
baa, baa."
Presently a man came driving down
the road and Mrs. Gordon saw it was
the butcher. ....
"Oh, Mr. Jones," she called from the
window, "there is a stray lamb in the
yard; you can have it for ?3. Do take
it away at once."
Polly heard the order and grew cold
with fright. So weak was she that she
meekly let him tie a rope around her
neck and lead her to the wagon. When,
catching her by all four legs, he gave
her three swings and she fell not into
the wagon, but into the cold spring.
"Oh," she cried, as she jumped up
and found she was still Polly. "I am
so glad I am not a lamb and that it
was only a dream. I guess it is better,
after all, to be a little girl, even if I do
have to work some. Mother has so
much to do for me it is only right to
help her."
So Polly went home from the spring
a wiser and happier girl on account of
the lesson she had learned in dream
land. (Copyright. 1915. by the McClure Newspa

there's chaff in it, it may be bitter

Schilling's Best is first cracked
and freed of bitterish chaff; then
cut into even bits and the fine

Of course it must then be sealed
at once in airtight tins to hold-in
all its rich, fine flavor for you.
