TWO girls were out walking, when
one stopped to buy a knot of
Spring posies, for whlrd sh paid
q ill half of her week's allowance of
pocket money.
"They are for mumsy. ahe explained.
'ihe Is so darling and patient with
me. I love to remember the pretty side
of her needs."
The ee-ond girl was silent. She had
sever thought of the pretty slJ of a
mother's needs In fact, up to that mo.
ni'nt she did not know there were any.

her way. she put part of II In a bou

That Is what every girl needs an
eye-opener if she has not thought of
her mother's own liking for Joyous
things. fomebody ought to give her
the t'p as to th small and gracious
servl-es that help to make a mother
life happier, whlie broadening th girl

Th thing la more easily don by a
youthful companion than by an older
peraon. for youth like to shin with
Its equals and la always Imitative,
whereas th adult suggestion might be
received snlpplly. or fall like water on
a duck a bat-k. So. If you happen to be
a nlr girl In th way of giving mother
th pretty attention sh needs and
wants, open the eyes of th neglectful
girl wltn a stout reproof or with th
pretty example of your consideration
for your own mother. If you ax th
neglectful girl herself, remember this
hearts never grow old. and so th
mother who plods around th bouse
doing so many things for your com

wants most of all to feel that th child

never buy herself because sh baa to
think so much of th value of money
and scrimp and sav to glv you th
very cash you ar spending so gener
ously on yourself.
Ah me! how many girls need th y
opener wher th mother's happiness
la Involved 1 Her ar a few of those
who commit th greateat alas against
her peace of mind:
The girl who la dissatisfied with her
lot: th girl who nags brothers and
sisters: th girl who I wasteful during
th little housekeeping sh consents to
do: th girl who won't turn a hand at
anything: th girl who wants bushels
of clothes and yet won't try to sew;
th gtrl who hurts her health with In
discretions of ail sorts: th fsst gtrl:
th Insolent gtrl: the slovenly girl; th
xtravagant girl; th girl who wants
to go on th etage when so hasn't as
much talent aa a grasshopper; and so
on and so on.
Her name Is legion, and we hav all
seen her. this maid, more often pretty
than plain, who has good manner

DEEDS MAKE BOTH HAPPY
beautiful by their consideration for
their mother.
Let us consider for a moment th
homely things of domestic life, th
marketing, the serving of meals, th
tidiness of bedrooms, punctuality at
table, etc. The girl who makes an ear
nest effort to know something about
housekeeping la always a comfort and
stsy to the mother, who. with th able
general to take her place, now gets a
chance to hav a few little outing of
her own. She knows that Jennie will
not order th small left-overs of a
meal to be thrown away because there
Is not enough of each thing to make a
new dish. he Is perfectly sure th
sensible lassie will put them in the
Icebox for soups, hashes, ragouts, thus
saving th expense of one or more
dishes at least. If bedrooms are to
be cleaned, there la no possibility of
th sealous daughter leaving th beet
hat and coats hanging around to be
ruined with dust: she knows th cost of
cleaning materials, so wastes nothing.
If by accident th mother meets an
old school friend In th street and
want to aak her home to luncheon
sh Is absolutely sure that her assist
ant will be ready with everything If
sh gives her half an hour's notir
over th telephone. If the mother her
self cooks a mL ahe Is not put to th
extra fatigue of having to aet the table
and serve It. for ber excellent assistant
attenda to all that.
What a comfort It Is for mothers to
hav suoh daughters, for nowhere Is
consideration more needed than In
housekeeping, and ths brunt of this Im
portant service fails to the mother. If
sh does not carry the whole load. 8o
don't forget th pointer, pleas. When
mother Is well, knowing how to take
bar place when necessary at horn Is
comfort to her heart, and If sh falls
sick and everything goes on In the reg.
ular way. every service la more precious
to her than jewels.
In the little graces that develop and
round th manner to social perfection,
th busy mother who has reared a big
family, and on small means at that,
must necessarily be a little lacking at

Into these way with ber. by putting

But It Is Impossible to give examples
of all the things required for the moth

Ah. of only the misbehaving girls

So begin th new life today with the

Whit wax 1 ounce
Cucumber Jute i ounces
Ths cucumber Juice Is obtained from
the fresh vegetable, which are sliced
thin, skin and all. chopped line and then
pounded to a past. The pulp la then
squeesed through a jelly bag. and th
Juice delicately perfumed with a few
drop of some good extract.
The spermaceti and wax must b
broken In fin bits and melted In a
double boiler. When they ar dissolved,
the almond oil Is put slowly In with
Incessant beating with a silver fork
and without allowing the blended ma
terials to get too hot. The vesael is
then taken from th fir and the cu
cumber Juice beaten In drop by drop.
When th sunburn Is new and the
skin flaming red and very painful,
bath th little face In quit hot water,
laying on wet cloths and removing
them aa fast as cooled. After this a
light massage with th cucumber cream
will be found almost magical In the
soothing comfort It brings and In Its
bleaching qualities.
If there Is no cold cream of any sort
on hand, the palnfulness of new sun
burn can always be relieved by th
application of sweet cream, and after
the first misery over th cloths
dipped In water and wrung out and
laid on th face will modify th degree
of hurt the skin has received.

j blng. Is excellent for both sunburn
I and f reck lea:
I Lactic acid ounces
; (ilvcerlne X ounces
Rosewater 1 ounce
Apply several times dally with a
soft bit of white cotton or llncnf pour
. tng a small quantity of the lotion as
needed Into a saucer. This is a clean-
! ly precaution to observe with all lo-
Hons that cannot be applied with a
. drop stopper.
J A French home remedy for the treat
' ment of freckle Is to beat the white
. of an egg to a froth and then mix It
with an equal quantity of almond oil
l about ss much as would fill half an
j eggshell. This Is rubbed upon the face
at night and washed off In the morn
ing with warm water, after whfch the
lotion below Is applied:
Hosewater 100 grama
Itorax 6 grams
Spirits of camphor 10 grama
Tincture of benxoln S grams
This lotion can atoo be used night
and morning without th beaten egg
and oil. but the three things are said
to bring about a speedier bure.
It Is of course Impossible to saddle
children with the nuisance of veils snd
parasols, and sunbonnets of a very pro
tective sort are out of style: but if a
shade hat Is worn with outdoor play
snd the brim of this Is lined with
green the skin of the little face would
be spared much of the deeper hurt
of freckles and sunburn, while the
child's eyes would be protected from
glsre and direct sun.
For the simple rash that the Summer
heat or Spring Indiscretions In eating
bring out on little bod lee this Is an
admirable preparation:
Klder-flower water 7 ounces
Glycerin 1 ounce
Borax H dram
Apply night and morning and during
the day If Irritation requires It.
But with any eruptive condition In a
child It Is pretty safe to assume that
the small stomach has been overloaded
or els has had too much food of a solid
or coarse nature and too little of the
fresh fruits and green vegetables It
should have. In such an event, as I
have stated many times before, a dose
of castor oil is the first step toward
improvement, and after this the food
should be lightened and changed. The
sarsaparllla which children ao often
buy at the drug store Instead of soda
Is nature' voice speaking through the
Inarticulate little body for a harmless
and natural remedy, for this pleasant
bumper acts like a gentle medicine,
moving the bowels and cooling the
blood. There are many other drinks
thst ar useful at this time, pineapple
Juice mixed with vlchy being especial
ly good, this scouring out the bowels
and being directly responsible for pret
tier eklns. brighter eyes and better
tempers. In fact, all fruit syrups are
good now, and will be Invaluable later
on when the heat. Invites more thirst
and children want to be sipping some
thing a good part of th day. Th
syrups can be bought bottled, but they
are more wholesome If freshly pre
pared from seasonable fruit, such as
strawberries, raspberries, pineapples,
etc The method of preparation may
be the simplest merely boll the fruit
with sugar and strain the juice, add
ing water as Is liked. A fruit drink
made at home Is far better for the
youngsters than the sodas and ice
cream cones they are used to buying,
and If mothers want young complexions
to keep good they will see to It that
nothing very cold Is drunk, for extreme
chill, like extreme heat, is bad for both
the stomach and skin.
And now, to touch upon the arti
ficial, we come to face powder, for
when missy Is dressed up she uses pow
der, and, besides. It is needed for the
treatment of sunburn, freckles and
rashes of all sorts.
Only a vegetable powder should be
uaed upon a child's face and It should
always be pure white, as all color
ing materials are bad for the tender
skin. Rice or potato starch, either of
which can be had at a good drug store,
mixed with powdered orris root In the
proportions of three parts of starch
to one of th orris makes delicate,
cheap and perfectly harmless powder
for both children and grown-ups.
With an eruption of any sort a good
talcum prepared with carbolic is th
best powder that can be used, this cool
ing the skin at once and proving both
healing and antiseptic.
But keep the little maids powder
boxes and puffs or cloths separate from
one another, as many skin irritations
are communicable and are caught
through children using the same toi
let articles.

Two decided novelties are shown
in the above pictures, and tremen
dous Interest Is being taken in both.
What could be mor captivating than
the charming little affair known as
Wllhemlna" bonnet shown In the
smaller picture?
After the little Dutch Queen Is named
this, one of the prettiest bonnet stylos
of the season. It is a quaint, snug
fltting capote which turns up in flaps
over the ears exactly like a Duich
cap. This bonnet Is made of coral plnic
faille silk with a facing of black velvot.
Pink and black soutache braiding
cover the top of the bonnet and the
cluster of silk flowers at one side are
In tones of brown and pink. The veil
Is a shaped affair of pink chiffon which
when adjusted protects the dainty Ton
ne t from dust.
Then there is the aviation dres. an
actual, modish reality. Now that every
body Is taking trips aloft it behooves
the woman who likes to be ready for
all occasions to supply herself with ap
propriate aviation togs; for who knows
when an Invitation may come for a bi
plane ride. This costume represents
th ideas of a clever French tall.ir as
to aviation correctness of get-up. There
is a well-cut frock of ralnproofed
mohair which Is simple In style, offer
ing no frills or furbelows for the
breeses to whisk about. The skirt
WHAT TO DO
HERE SET
ANT serious trouble with the nose
Is as mortifying as It Is painful
to the victim, that strange condi
tion called cuperose. or red nose, being
especially agonizing to sensitive feel
ings. Poor circulation, some disturb
ance of the alimentary canal, chronic
constipation and tightness In any part
of the clothing are some of the causes
of the trouble; and in such cases no
external applications can be of any
benefit until the patient corrects her
habits of life. Cold feet also excite a
redness of the nose, and if shoes press
to th suffering point on the great toe
the flag of distress will at once wave
from the nasal organ. Acidity of the
stomach likewise causes this redness
and even a responsive throb in the nose,
and since this beat Is often visible to
the eye It awakens something like dis
gust In the beholder.
Drinking hot water In quantities and
at stated periods through the day will
relieve the trouble to a great extent,
but if the attack comes Immediately
after' eating and Is acute dissolve half
a leaspoonful of sulphate of soda in
half a tumbler of hot water and drink
it slowly half an hour after the meal.
Taking this dose for several mornings
before breakfast, and .repeating It In
half an hour, will help to ward off the
attack In lta acute phases, but. as I
-have said, habits of life must be cor
rected before any lasting good can be
expected.
Spearmint tea also exercises much
virtue for the digestive disorders that
encourage this mortifying flaming of
the nose, and when the capillaries are
dilated some doctors recommend this
lotion.
Sulphate of potassium.........! gram
Tincture of benxoln 1 gram
Rosewater 50 grams
Distilled water 50 grams
Bathe the nose frequently with this
during the day and massage with cold
cream at night; this last requirement Is
for the relief of the congested condi
tion, for the redness means that the
blood vessels have become sluggish.
For a chronic state of red nose a phy
sician should be consulted, for some
times serious diseases sre so Indicat
ed, and if they are of a bad catarrhal
sort the whole formation of the nose
may be changed unless treatment Is
at once taken. Still the following rem
edy may ba used externally after bath
ing with tepid water; but an abstemf
ous diet must be Insisted upon also and
alkaline waters and herb drinks taken:
Precipitate of sulphur 8 grams
Pure glycerin 8 grams
Precipitated chalk 8 grams
Cherry laurel water 8 grams
Rectified alcohol 8 grams
This makes a pomade which must be
massaged Into the skin of the nose.
For the swollen condition which
sometimes accompanies the redness this
Is advised:
Muriate of ammonia 1 dram
Tannic acid dram
Glycerin 2 ounces
Rosewater 8 ounces
Dissolve the muriate and acid In the
glycerin, then add the water. Saturate
a piece-of absorblent cotton with the
lotion and bind it on the nose every
night until a cure Is effected.

sort, aggravate this trouble and may
make the redness chronic, for it is a
well-known fact that lovers of strong
condiments are often afflicted in this
way. In India, for Instance, where high
seasoning Is the rule and not the excep
tion, both red noses and red faces are
common, and after long years In this
country it Is almost impossible to re
store the skin to a natural coloring.
Bathing in cold water is also bad for
cuperose, or the initial stages of the
condition, while to go to extremes of
atmosphere suddenly Is bound to bring
on the redness where the tendency
exists.' Moderation, then, is absolutnly
necessary In all things food must be
light in quantity and mild in quality,
and fruits of all sorts be substituted
for coarser things the moment the sea
son arrives for them.
A little watch and ward Is likewise
needed for the nervous state of mind
the trouble with red nose brings; one
mustn't be on the lookout for It all the
time and be perfectly certain that the
blush will coma just when it is not
wanted.
Again red nose may come from a bad
anaemic condition, in which case it is
proper 'to see the family doctor, and
while following his advice in the way
of medicine do everything, besides, to
build up the body in a natural wry.
Fresh air In the sleeping room Is essen
tial, exercise outdoors Is Imperative,
and at least three pints of fresh water
must be drunk during the day.
A drink that Is both whitening to th
skin and nourishing to the body is
made with lactated milk, the glass filled
up with one-third vichy or seltzer.
Pineapple juice, which Is a blood puri
fier of much value, could also be taken
with vlchy or seltzer, while for keep
ing the bowels In good condition there
is nothing better than a tea or tisane
of senna. The druggist will give the
exact proportions for the senna, which
must be steeped In boiling water and
then strained from the drink. This In
expensive laxative is more efficacious
and soothing at the same time If drunk
while hot.
Many persons suffer from eczema at
the sides of the nose, this being pro
duced by a catarrhal condition and giv
ing the nose a coarse and diseagreeable
look; but It is also possible for this side
eruption to be something far more se
rious, one very terrible disease of the
skin, lupus, often showing Itself in this
way. For the ordinary eczema, coat
ing the spots every night with an
oxide of zinc ointment will effect im- '
provement if the catarrh also receives
some treatment, and if the spots show
no sign of going away after this it may
be assumed that It Is high time to
consult a physician.
The well nose can be kept In good
condition and the sick one much im
proved through the simple performance
of a morning and night bath this
taken with a nasal douche, with the
head held straight back so that none
of the water will get Into the ears. The
water is made scarcely more than tepid
for this and the sting of it is softened
with a pinch of salt. This saline bath
taken through the nostrils is not cura
tive of disease, but It is cleanly anti
septic and often wards off infectious
troubles. In the matter of the Ameri
can climate alone the delicate mucous
membrane of the nose has much to put
up with, and when this dryness is ac
companied with disea.e-Iaden dust the
nose douche seems not only a reason

George Washington Tea Biscuits
These are fine for a May-party birth
day. The American flag always fig
ures on such occasions, and the Father
of his country Is very closely related
to all that concerns the Stars and
Stripes. The biscuits must be served
on a large napkin folded square, with
the dish covered with a big cocked hat
made by folding a larger napkin In
this manner.
Into a pint of sifted flour rub one
tablespoonful of butter, one table
spoonful of lard and a little salt. Dis
solve one compressed yeast cake in a
pint of lukewarm water and make a
moderately stiff dough. Set in a hot
place to rise. In about an hour the
dough should bo ready; mold it Into
little biscuits set them to rise again,
and then bake In a quick oven. Be
