A N D T HE
COMPLEXION
Your Manners
AND THE
MINISTER
THE most common fault with the
woman who treats her complexion
at home Is her lack of persever-am-e.
The woman with a fat purse pat
ronize a beauty parlor and pays some
one to persevere for her. Nine out of
10 cases she could accomplish the same
result at home with simple remedies
If only she would spend a little more
time regularly before her own toilet
table. Do not imagine that spasmodic
applications of remedies will bring
good results. It Is the patient, regu
lar application that, In due time, will
bear fruit.
At this season of the year, when
much suffering Is caused by the blus
tering winds and the dust that is al
most ground into the skin by force of
thee dreaded March breezes, an ounce
of prevention is worth more than the
proverbial pound of cure. Before go
ing out, some, healing cream should be
rubbed Into the skin, then a pure,
hygienic powder should be dusted over
the face. In cold weather scented soap
should never be used. It is not good
for the skin at any season of the year,
but especially harmful just now. Al
ways bathe the face in warm water for
cleansing purposes, dash with cold
water and dry thoroughly before go
ing out.
The woman with oily skin is afflicted
just now with many blackheads, as
the result of the dust-laden breezes.
The oily glands in her face sem to
attract particles of dust and dirt. Any
attempt to expel these blackheads with
a needle 1b irritating to the skin and
often bruises it, leaving a scar. On
the toilet table of every woman should
be found a comodone extractor for the
purpose of expelling contents of pim
ples. Keep the skin clean by the con
stant use of the complexion brush and
bathe the face morning and night with
sweet cream. This will feed the skin
and at the same time soften it so that
the blackheads will yield up their "con
tents more easily.
If the ekin has become tanned from
the spring winds, try this simple home
made whitener: Take two tablespoon
fuls of oatmeal, and boll It in a quart
of water for 10 minutes. Cool and
strain off the liquor. Add to it the
juice of ono large lemon or two small
ones, and a dessert spoonful of pure al
colKtl. Bathe the face with this with a
soft doth, but do not wipe it all off.
Chapped Hps will spoil the beauty of
the entire face, and any local druggist
cun compound the following formula,
which will effect a cure In a few day:
Cocoa butter, 10 grammes; castor oil,
3 grammes; oil of birch, 2 drops; ex
tract of cacpou. 1 gramme essence of
star-anise. 4 drops. Apply to the Hps
three times a day until the cure Is
effected.
Chilblains caused from Ice skating or
other exposure are most painful, and
are warranted to make deep wrinkles
In the face. If the chilblains have not
broken open, soak the feet In the hot
test water you can bear, adding more
hot water all the time from the kettle.
In 15 minutes thrust the feet into very
old water, wipe dry gently and bathe
with the following lotion: Alum (pow
dered), H ounce; spirits of camphor, 1
drachm; cucumber Juice, 2 ounces.
Acute Inflammation of the eyee Is
often caused by exposure to the cold
winds, and if taken in time can be
almost Instantly relieved by applica
tions of very hot water, followed by
a wash made of equal parts of witch
hazel and .camphor julep. Formula for
camphor julep has often been given in
these columns, but any of my readers
who have failed to see it can secure
the formula by sending stamped and
self-addressed envelope to me with
such a request. Witch hazel, when di
luted with half as much water, can be
dropped directly into the eye. This
treatment will relieve the burning
sensation often felt in the eye after
exposure to the winds.
If you come in from a long, cold
walk and llnd "that you are very
hoarse, dissolve a tiny piece of borax
In your mouth a piece about tlje slate
of a pea. Do not put oft, doing this
for several days after the hoarseness
is first remarked do it at once.
Am I said in the beginning, be cau
tious prevent the illness rather than
cure It. It costs less in many ways,
such as time, money, annoyance to
yourself and your family. One of the
best face powders to use during the
month of March is a liquid powder,
formula for which has appeared many
times. It contains ingredients which
are healing and whitening at the
same time. 1 should bo glad to fur
nish this formula upon receipt of
stamped and eelf -addressed envelope.
Wear stout boots and a brown ch if -fon
veil. Do not wear heavy leather
boots in the morning and light French
kid ones in the afternoon. Do not
wear an old lightweight raincoat In
the morning and a fur ulster in the
evening. Theso may seem useless
"don'ts." but I assure you that it is as
tonishing how many women do these
foolhardy things and then come home
sniffling, wondering how in the world
they caught cold.

BLOUSE OF RINGKD COTTON 31 ADR AS.
NEW HINTS FROM THE HEART OF BLOUSE-LAND
THE average woman never thinks
of such a ' domain as blouse-land,
and yet such a place does exist.
It is located In the very heart of Tsew
York's Jobbing district on either side of
the world-famous thoroughfare, Broad
way. You have to climb Interminable
flights of stairs or ride In dingy freight
elevators to reach the land of a million
blouses, for the dainty lingerie or tailored
wash wajst Is made close to the clouds,
in great sunshiny lofts. The blouses
must be kept so clean that they will not
require laundering before reaching the
retailer, therefore the dark, gloomy sweat
shop is never chosen for their manufac
ture. 9o it. happens that up there close to
the clouds, above the hum and roar of
city streets, the . blouse-makers, like the
toy-makers, toil the year round to make
the American women look trim and neat
in that best of modern garments, the shirt
waist.
There you will find women who design
and men who select fabrics, and girls
who feed electric sewing machines with
miles and miles of wash 'fabrics, and
other girls who inset lace by machine or
make buttonholes by machine. In fact,
there is a machine for every part of the
waist and a girt for every machine, espe
cially trained to the work.
And If you stand by the -man who selects
the fabrics, you will learn first that white
is the supreme favorite for the Spring and
Summer of 1906. Everything is white and
generally all white, without even so much
as a suggestion of colored stripe or figure,
and this holds good for the most severely
tailored morning blouse, and the most
fluffy of lingerie waists. Checked or
cross-barred materials lead In the fabric
designs, and these wear much better than
stripes, because stripes rot, while the
crossbar checks the breaking of threads
in the stripe it crosses. The new checked
or barred dimities, lawns and batistes
come in great variety, the checks vary
ing in size from an eighth of an inch to
the inch itself, though the medium size
is by all odds the smartest. Very few pi
ques are offered, as madras has almost en
tirely superceded pique. Imported percale
in white, plain, crossbarred or figflured, is
popular, and costs 25 cents a yard.
But perhaps the most popular fabrics
for shirt waists can all be bunched under
the general title of cotton voile. To be
sure, the trade has a dozen fancy names,
but by any name they give the same effe-t
an open mesh in cotton which closely
copies the voile mesh in wool vor silk.
It launders admirably and gives the best
effect- when trimmed with Irish or j
THE trimmings and accessories of
a garment are, in these days, of
vital importance. They make the
costume chic or otherwise. For In
stance, what Is the tailored shirt waist
without its perky little bow at the
throat? So' let us talk about these
many little bows first. Eacn week the
shops seem to offer dozens of new va
rlties, and I can find no more allur
ing way of" spending a spare hour than
wandering from one shop to another,
and peering Into the glass cases where
these neck bows are kept. Most of
them can be duplicated perfectly by
the home sewer.
Among the newest short bows are
those made of Roman striped ribbon.
This costs about 35 cents a yard, but it
Is new and that Is worth much. If
your shirt waist is white you can se
lect some very garish colorings, such
as a ribbon with yellow for a founda
tion color, striped with several blues,
grays, lavenders, etc. But If your
blouse is made of dark blue silk, for
Instance, then your tie of Roman rib
bon must have dark blue for the pre
dominating color, with only rich blend
ing shades for stripes. If the ribbon
does not go around the neck, three
quarters of a yard Is ample. These
are not small but rather wide bows.
The old-fashioned - Windsor ties, so
much worn by children, also find a
place among the grown-ups finery.
These ties are almost always made of
3urah silk, and the newest ones are
embroidered at the ends in contrasting
colors. I saw oome very dainty Wind
sor tics this week made of pale pink,
the ends embroidered with large white
silk polka dots; pale blue ones with
circles feather-stitched in corn colored
silk; dark blue ones with tiny red
fleur de lys. etc Some of the new
Windsor ties are very narrow.about
three Inches In width, with scalloped
ends.
Let me say that these Windsor ties.

other heavy lace. For the lingerie I

lawn, batiste and handkerchief linen

alternating in stripes, and while Val. is
almost invariably combined with some
other lace for trimming, one sees very
with their soft, father flowing ends,
are very becoming to a certain type of
girl not'the stiff, tailor-made girl, but
rather the one who wears blouses of
soft, sheer materials with turn-over
collars, the ethereal type of girls with
fluffy hair and dreamy eyes.
Quaint little bows to be worn with
wash waists are made from small hand
kerchiefs with colored borders and
flowered corners. Some of these are
made with just the four points of the
handkerchiefs cut off on the bias at
each corner and used to form double
pointed ends the middle bound tight
ly together with a crushed piece cut
from the center of the handkerchief.
Others have a straight half of the
handkerchief side-pleated and finished
off at the top with a bow made of the
other half. These handkerchiefs can
be purchased at any department store
for about 12 cents each, and one or two
of them worked into your box of neck
wear will lend a great variety to your
shirt waist bows.
Just at present plain satin and straw
hats are trimmed with huge bows of
wired all-over lace and net. This is
a fashion that I do not recommend to
the girl with few hats. It is an easy
method of trimming a hat, indeed, so
easy that the fashion will become
frightfully common within a month or
so, especially in large cities. If you
have an old hat which you want to
fresheu up, and do not want to buy a
lot of new trimmings for it, then an
ecru lace bow, wired, will help you
out. These bows have no ends; they
consist of six large loons, three on each
side.
In connection with loops, let me say
that almost all of the up-to-date bows
are made without ends. Sashes are not
so long in the back as'they were, ami
seem to be entirely of loops, with oc
casionally one long end. This long end
is generally finished by tying a knot in
It. and tacking It with needle and thread
so that it will not unfasten. This method

yokes that have come into ogue.
The woman who designs blouses is a
busy person, for the American woman
demands infinite variety in blouses. This
season she will tell you that square
of finishing the end gives weight to" tt
and prevents its flying out of place.
Bows on .evening slippers are exceed
ingly smart, and can easily be made at
home for almost nothing, while the smart
boot shops are asking fabulous prices for
them. Little choux are made . of. deli
cately tinted chiffon to match the slip
per, forming a chubby bow resembling
a tulip. In the center is fastened a
matching rosebud or flower of satin, ana
the entire ornament Is brightened up here
and there with a rhinestone sewed on,
giving it, for all the world, the appear
ance of a dewdrop. They also tell us
that the smart young girls this Summer
are going to wear a one-eyelet tie in
white canvas or kid, tied with broad pink
or blue or Javender ribbon. With these
bows you must wear a stocking match
ing the ribbon, or more properly speak
ing, your ribbon laces must match the
color of your stockings. A young girl
was seen the other night at an informal
dinner in a dainty white lingerie dress,
with which she wore blue silk stockings
and white slippers tied with a broad,
stiff blue bow of gros grain ribbon, and
at her sleeve were tiny bows of blue
ribbon. She made a charming picture.

And it can reach and overflow

Whote dawn may be midst dark or day.

Some Mid-Lent Fish Recipes
NOW thatLent is upon us, the up-to-date
housewife scurries about for
new ways of cooking fish. Many
families who observe Lent strictly have
fish served twice a week Wednesdays
and Fridays. Others "Who are not relig
iously inclined say they have a fish din
ner every Friday in the year. Just for the
sake of variety and as a relief from meat.
In buying canned fish, the best is. al
ways the cheapest, for any inferior grade
is apt to be canned with Impure oils, and
ptomaine poisoning is often the result of
such unwise economy. . Buy a standard
brand, which you know-by past experi
ence is what the manufacturers claim for
it, and accept no other.
Fresh fish should be eaten the day it is
caught. Although it is eatable the sec
ond day, much of its flavor is lost when
it has been out of the water for more
than 24 hours. And In cooking any fish
be liberal with your seasoning. There Is
no item on the' menu that will permit of
so much spice and seasoning and unless
fish is properly seasoned in the process
of cooking it makes flat and not un
palatable dish.
Halibut Creole Slice a large onion
very thin and fry with a scant tablespoon
of lard. When cooked add a tablespoon
of flour and cook for two or three min
utes until well blended. Add to this half
a can of solid tomatoes, a cup of boiling
water and a cup of cooking claret, a ta
blespoon of butter. Salt, and add cay
enne pepper to taste. Cut halibut .into
pieces about the size of a portion and
simmer in this sauce until thoroughly
cooked. Serve on dry toast, and garnish
with parsley. Cod or bass can- be sub
stituted for halibut. , . , .
Fried Smelts Smelts should be washed
In very cold water, and thoroughly dried
on a eloth, after . which they should be
rolled in flour. In a bowl have an ounce
of melted butter and the yolks of two
eggs. Beat ' this thoroughly, drop the

hard fast rule.
You can take your choice between the
regulation shirt sleeve with deep'ofnar-
row cuff to be worn with links, of the
shaped cuff which runs almost to the el
bow, which may 'be made of tucked ma
terial or alternate strips of material and
lace insertion. In most of the -designs
shown on this page, both the long, and
short sleeve are given with the pattern,
but the wise woman will Instantly de
cide in favor of the long sleeve for morn
ing waists. The short sleeve, thanks to
a vigorous campaign on the part of
French mandressmaker, is being relegated
to its correct use, for evening wear, when
gloves meet It at the elbow. : . s
No. 1 shows the best type"of tailored
shirt waist, either for independent ma
terial or that which, matches the- skirt
and constitutes the correct shirt waist
suit. It Is especially good for the flat
chested girl, giving fullness across the
bust line. The. collar band and cuffs
must be interlined with butcher's linen,
which' holds starch, and incidently, you
can now buy buttons and cuff links to
match in stunning designs of creamy
pearl. All tailored waists should be made
with collar bands, and then a variety of
linen collars and bows can be worn.
No. 2 shows an excellent use Of French
percale, with satin dot on a plain ground.
Here you see flat fine tucks down the
back, three wide pleats alternating with
finer ones in the front, and deep tucked
elbow cuff. This Is an excellent design
for stout women. Do not invest in do
mestic percale. It shrinks both ways.
No. 3 is another design for the stout
woman, and shows a military effect in
the closing on the left side, with wash
soutache braid and flat pearl buttons of
generous' size for trimming.
No. 4 displays the square yoke effect
so popular' this season, and combines
crossbarred and ringed dimity with plain
lawn tucked in the yoke and outlined by
fine embroidery. This is a really good
design for a waist that' must be washed
frequently, especially.-for the business
woman who wants an occasional lawn
waist to wear to store or office.
No. 5 suggests the Japanese overblouse,
adjusted to tub needs. It Is developed in
plain lawn , with Innumerable tucks, and
the simplest finish of VaL lace, German
and French alternating on the over sleeve
and cuff. The collar shows the new high
pattern, almost touching the hair on the
sides and the back."
Girdles used to finish off , the tailored
waists are distinctive.'. They must be nar

Escalloped Fish Remove all the bones
and shred finely- any white fish that has
been cooked. Place a layer of this in a
baking dish and cover with bread
crumbs, then a thin layer of sliced cold
potatoes. Add a little seasoning, a thin
slice of onion and a hard-boiled egg,
sliced. Repeat this until the diish is full,
finish with bread crumbs on top. Make
a rich drawn butter and pour over it,
set in oven to brown. This is a very
practical dish, as any cold fish can be
utilized In this way. -
New Finnan Haddle Let the fish stand
in boiling water long -enough to loosen
the skin and bones. Take it out and pick
off all the meat In small flakes. Add to
this salt and pepper and a tablespoon
of melted butter, a tablespoon of lemon
juice and . one of. rich cream. Heat all
together and serve on thin slices of toast
which have been dipped in hot water
and buttered. Serve with slices of lemon
and sprigs of parsley.
Salmon Loafi Drain all the oil from
a large can of salmon, pick it over
carefully and remove all bones. Beat
together four eggs untllvery light, add
a cup of bread crumbs, a scant cup of
rich cream, and the Juice of one lemon.
Salt to taste and add a good dash of
cayenne pepper. Mix these ingredients
well together, put in baking dish, cover
the dish and bake for 30 minutes in
good oven. '
Boiled Fish.
In - boiling any fish, you should put
enough water in a large pot to enable
a fish to swim in, if it were alive. .-Add
to this water half a cup of vinegar, a
teaspoon of salt, one - whole onion, one
dozen whole black peppers, one . blade
of mace. Take any fish and sew It up
in new piece of cheese cloth, fitted to the
shape of the fish.. Put In the water and
heat slowly for 30 minutes, then let it
boll hard and fast for about ten minutes.
YOVR minister, his wife, and his
family have you ever thought of
these as a problem in etiquette?
No?
WelU perhaps you expect the minister
to provide courtesy, good form and etl-'
quette enough for both. Perhaps you be-'
long to the large class of people who1
think that a minister never takes offense'
or gtves it. ,
But believe me, there is a special code
of kindly good manners which should 1
regulate your relations with your ntin-
ister and those who live within his gates.!
How often we hear the minister, his
family, his customs, his method of living, j
his bearing and dress flippantly criticised!
by members of his congregation who are
old enough to know better. How often i
the minister's wife regards her advent j
into a new and perhaps more fashionable
parish with positive -fear and trembling,!
because she Is ao afraid that she will not1
do the right thing at the right moment.;
But how many parishioners stop to dis
sect their own bearing toward the
minister apd the minister's family? (
For instance, if the new banker brings
his bride to town, when do you go to call
upon her? At the end of two weeks?'
Exactly! You give her time to settle in!
her new home, to make that home ready
for your coming. (
But the minister's wife?
Oh. you drop in upon her quite infor
mally some afternoon within a few days'
after her arrival. A minister's wife
should always he prepared to receive her
husband's parishioners.
If you played the same trick on tho
banker's wife, you would apologize for
coming so soon, but you were going out
of town, and you wanted to pay your
respect before . leaving, etc. But you
do not apologize for intruding too soon
upon the minister's wife, because It Is
your right as a parishioner to learn as
soon as possible just what sort of house
keeper your new rector's wife is.
If you think the new banker's wife
would be a welcome addition to your
social circle, you pre eager to give the
first afternoon tea in her honor. , You
want to pose as her social sponsor.
How about the new minister's wife?
Perhaps you say that the church or
the Ladies Aid Society will give a so
cial evening in the church parlor and
let everyone meet both the minister and
his wife, and a number of prominent
citizens will be invited, etc.
But think how much more It would
mean to his wife if you gave a pretty,
simple afternoon tea just for her, and
made her feel that she had some at
traction beyond that of being the min
ister's wife, that she was a personality
welcomed by your set?
" Suppose you try It! Be among the
first to call upon her, and issue your
invitation for an early tea, not falling
to add on your Invitations or cards the
phrase,- "in honor of Mrs. Walter Ray
mond Barker." Remember that you do
not use her husband's title in connection
with her name, - even though he may
be a doctor of divinity and the congrega
tion is most proud of the fact.
If you and your husband are among
the social leaders of the town, give a
xormai ainner in nonor or tne new ciergyr
man and hiswife. Give them the benefit
of your social Influence. They will need
it. If you are not social leaders, do not
hang on the edge of the circle, sniffing
the air and muttering that of course you
cannot expect to be noticed while Judge
Barker and his wife are around.
Give a small informal dinner for the
new minister and his wife, not trying to
ape Judge and Mrs. Barker,, but be at
your bestand the new minister and his
wife may enjoy your simple hospitality
the best of all. The minister's wife likes
comradeship far better than patronage.
When you introduce either the min
ister or his wife to strangers, preface the
introduction thus: "Mr. Blank, I want
you to know our new rector, Mr. or
Dr. Jenkins (according to his title)."
Show in your every word and action
the deference due a minister of the
church and the occasion will acquire the
dignity It deserves.
Never invite your minister to dinner or
tea without Including an invitation for Ms
wife. Yod would be furious with a wom
an who Invited your husband to dinner
and forgot that he possessed a wife.
If your new minister establishes calling
hours, or hours when he will always bo
found at the parish house, observe those
hours. Do not interrupt him at odd
moments, when he may be writing a
sermon, with some trivial rdquest. If he
is to respond to important calls, he must
behaved many trivialities.
Do not rush to your minister or his
wife with bits of gossip. Either they
must sacrifice their own dignity and
listen to your tale, or show you the con
tempt they feel for a scandal-monger.
The observance of these few simple,
common sense rules will make the coming
of the new minister much more pleasant
for all concerned. Just bear in mind that
the minister, however fine his calling, is
yet human.. Treat him and his as- you
would be treated yourself.

Leaves From Fashion's Notebook.
Lovely bands of velvet are used as
vests for' street gowns and dinner
dresses as well.
A striped suit, dark and rather
smooth in texture, is demanded for
Spring wear and the most popular
stripe, just at the passing moment, is
one that shows a slight tint of purple
across the brown.
One of the quite new features'ls the
hip scarf. This, upon a slender figure,
is lovely It is made of very filmy
material and is finished with a border
of fringe. It is worn around the hips
rather snugly and is tied "in. a knot in
the buck.
Materials silvered to form floral fig
ures are among the waist materials.
And i there are little coats completely
dove red with silver spangles to look
like a coat of mail. These are quite
warm and can be worn evenings and
for nice occasions when one would re
quire a little wrap.
The; velvet dress is now very much
in fayor. As a street gown it Is worn
short and trimmed with little besides
Its deep hem and, perchance, a ruchlng
of taffeta. The coat is short and fin
ished with fancy vest and wide cuffs
turning back from sleeves that are of
medium length. i

the girl who is out buying her beltings
can get something that is quite un
usual. She should, however, visit the
counter where beltings are sold by the
yard. And here she should select such
colors and materials as will best fit
her wardrobe.
