So all the lines of the body are affected by this silly state of mind. Deep breathing Is the first and sim plest treatment that can be offered here, and If you are trying to fill every pert of your lungs with fresh air In this manner, after three bouts with the exercise you will feel like a different being. So. ail things said and done, comply ing with ..ature'a simplest needs and exercising a tittle common sense rula over the mind are the best tM?ie;s that can be offered for worry llns. Get the body sane and sound with sensible living and then let your poor, tired soul look sometimes at the butterflies and ri,es of life. Everything con nected with human existence has Its defects. Its paralysis. Its measles. Its sword and guillotine. We must laugh with the momenta to keep our youtil and force make a grab for the good things and let the bad ones go. KATHSRIXE MOKTOX.

FIRST THING, STOP WORRY Incersaat MenUl Stewing U Poison to Intellectual and Moral Being Complete Change of Habits Often Give Belief Massage May Help, Too. IN the last sis months quite a score of letters have come to ma from women suffering In mind and body from the effects of worry. Some of tbeea letters the majority. Indeed tell of deep Knts at the center of the forehead. Home describe wrinkles at the sides of the face, wrlnklea straight cross the forehead, mouths with drooping corner, crumpled eyelids, wretched eyes and so on. Every one mentions the word "worry." but o ody seems to think that the first cure (or the facial blemlnbes caused thereby It to stop worrying. As Eplctetus puts It: "We all dread bodily paralysis, and would make ue of any contrtvanra to avoid It. but voaa of ss Is troubled about a paralysis af the eul." There Is the subject la nutshell we must go deeper down than the skin when striving to beantl fr the body. We must look fjr the deep wrtnkles In the spirit. Now what do the doctors of today ell u about worry, the aaltated frame f mind that makes a mountain out of every morehlll and sticks closer than a brother when yon get the habit of It? They declare that this Incessant mrntal tewing Is a poison to the Intellectual and moral being and that It Is a deadly op to all success and Joy In life. They advle as a first move toward more sensible and healthful thinking a com plete change of habits.

Fay to yourself that the par lor curtains will do for tha rest of tha season, or that Kate Jones, who works In tha same office with you. dldnt mean to be as saucy as she seemed yesterday, and so on. In fact, bulwark yourself at every moment against the wrtnklea and aallownesa and thinness and old age that worry brings by making your spirit a pleasanter and more hopeful thing. Concerning the external treatment of the marks of worry, as t hava said many tlmea before, massage la invaluable for the eradication of facial llnea. I "re pa re the face first by steaming it over a ba sin of boiling water, wit the bowl and the head enveloped In a large Turkish towel. Then while the skin la stUI moist and warns, take one wrinkle at a time, and go over It with the t'pe of the fln gere and cold cream, using round and round movements. When the places have been well massaged put tha fingers of the two handa together and smooth the skin away from the llpa with aeveral lone, gentle raases. After this apply a wrlrkle plaster to tha spot, holding the skin taut and smooth when putting It on. When going to bed at night rub whits vaseline over the eyelUis. smooth ing them gent!y toward the temples, and If there Is any dryneea In the nose, such as catarrh would give, put a little vaseline In the noetrtla. This anoint ing feeds the dry skin of the lids and eases the strain of tha muscles, and It keeps the sllcs of the nose from sink ing in. aa they do when the formation begins to change with age or some sasal trouble or other. Kor the wretched look worry gives the eyes, common sense Is above all needed. Practice the wide-eyed, simple look, too the sort of childlike and bland thing, for thla l at once youth ful and agreeable to beholders If tt Is not staring and Idiotic At any rate, don't let the worry, however It Is caused, get as far as your eyes, for aside from being a hideous drawback to looks this la a written confession of defeat In Itfe. Warm or even hot baths should be taken dally by the person easily dis turbed by trifles, aa these relieve the tension of the nerves, relax muscles and soften, whiten and smooth the skin. There are also many baths for beauty purposes as well as health-baths that brighten the complexion, perfume the skin and that leave the bather with the rfailciaus sense of luxury every woman needs when she wants to be ranked with the fair.

Twist a crown length of the ribbon and fasten a smart bow to the wreath, arranging this to suit the side or back of the head. Side bows oa a hat Jut out Ilka the half-closed wings of a but terfly; at the back they are mostly In tailored shape, the loops going beyond the crown. Bunches of pretty flowers of different sorts are always useful for varying the look of a hat. and any or the trimmings, if put together snugly first, can be attached with big pins. Laro-topprd hatpins are the most ele gant fasteners for all lingerie millinery. The rourd knob ones can easily be made at home. Buy a cheap white hat pin and cover It neatly with a bit or thin white lining silk. Then take a scrap of coarse lace and cat It round, turning In the edges, gathering It and putting It on like a cap. A cop Just to fit can be made of crochet and worked Dver afterward with white or colored French knots. . One of the most useful things In the 8ummer wsrdrobe Is a satin or silk un der slip. These gracious under-rlg-glngs give simple materials a look of elegance, and for all dresses of a prin cess nature they are absolutely needed. For gowns In this style they roust be cut In exactly tha aame manner. A kimono bodice, too. requires the exact line In the undersllp. The silks used for them are cheap, but, as they are narrow, quite seven yards may be need ed for the slip. With a cheap ready made drees of a diaphanous nature such a background Is at once a redemption from the commonplace. Black and white striped calico makes the smartest and cleanest of practical petticoats. Get a good model, shape the skirt closely at the hips and trim It with a six-Inch bias flounce, put on scantly.

Changing the buttons of a ready made coat suit sometimes alters Its character entirely. Crocheted buttons are much In favor, and they are large and round. There Is nothing easier than to crochet covers for the wooden molds, or a cheap lmitallon Ir'sh lace can be bought and put on. The molds must always be covered first with a thin silk.

Such stylish and elegant neck throws may take the place of a Summer wrap. They cost $5 ready made, but may be turned out at home much more cheaply. A bow without ends, made of black and white rlbobn about five Inches wide, is the most daring caper for the neck. It Is put directly at the brooch point and will go with a gown In any color. .

When this odd cos tume, shown In the Illustration here with, was worn at tha races last month It attracted Instant attention and next day the maker was besieged with or ders for similar costumes. Tha effect of the frock ls a spiral, the drapery material appearing to twist around the figure above a soft, thin under frock of chiffon. This particular model ls de veloped In pink chiffon over pink char mesuo with frills of' Mechlin lace to add softness to the skirt. The drapery Is of black and pink striped satin and WHAT IS A GARDEN PARTY? WHY, IT IS A RECEPTION HELD IN OPEN AIR Correspondent Who Asks About Etiquette of Summer Affairs Is Answered-How to Dress and How to Prepare for Large and Small Lawn Parties. "W1 tt.t. you kindly explain to me exactly what a garden party t 1 hear I am to have an invitation for one on tha 14th of June, and I don't know what to wear or what the people are going to do. Axe such social affairs usual, and ought one to send an answer to the invitation?" A garden party Is aa open-air recep tion given by persons who have grounds about their homes. The party may he the tiniest little affair or It may ba almost as splendid as a ball, but receiving In this manner ls far more usual with persons of means than with poorer folk, for the good reason that considerable splurge ls possible. Still clever women who live In towns and cities often make use of the scrap of land before and behind their homes for these pretty affairs, putting up canvas roofs over the yards or doing all their social stunts under the tent of the skies. It ls alao feasible to have an imitation garden party on the top of a city house If the roof Is flat and broad, and here potted palms and rub ber plants and stands with growing flowers will be disposed to give the garden look. An Invitation to such an affair cer tainly requires an Immediate answer, but the. question of clothes should be decided by the importance of the occa sion. A faahionable function given by a smart woman of wealth, who has a large circle of acquaintances and who would probably entertain elaborately, would need a very dressy costume from hat to shoes. The dress should be In a light color, airy material, made longer In the skirt than for walking, and with the usual elaborate touches seen In re ception frocks. The hat would be on the garden order that Is, something with a brim and lavish trimmings of dainty ribbons and flowers. A gray parasol ls also required for the garden party look, and so are long white gloves and dainty shoes. The dress of men at the garden and bigger enter tainment would correspond In dress iness; they would wear what ls called full afternoon dress a black frock coat, gray striped trousers and a silk hat. or else dress In white flannels and straw hats and canvas shoes. At the smaller garden party the costume of the ladies would still have some of the dressiness of the foregoing description, but at the Imitation one on a roof-top the hostess might write that shirt waists and business suits would be in order. But unless she gives this tip as to Informality. It ls best for the men and women to put on their best bibs and tuckers, as dress sometimes counts for a lot at such gatherings. Gener ally, too, women make a point of fin ishing their garden party toilettes with a large bouquet which they carry about with them, while the men wear pretty boutonnieres of seasonable posies. The invitation to the larger function might be in the form of a printed card, though many smart hostesses write In formal little notes on this order: "My dear Miss Blank: "Can you drive over on Thursday af ternoon for tea and berries on the lawn at 4 o'clock? There will be other peo ple, but we mean to De rarner lnxormat have a little tennis, maybe, or cro quet. Cordialy yours, etc" In -tha-upper right hand - corner of i the bodice of Venise lace over pink chiffon ls matched by a handsome bor der on the drapery. The straight-lines frock ls another fancy of the moment. Curves are not suggested by this season's lingerie frocks and the princess effects, closely outlining the fleire, are entirely out of fashion. This little lingerie frock of white embroidered voile trimmed with bands of Quaker cluny, illustrates the passion for straight lines remarka bly well. The lace panels are carried a trifle above the belt line at the sides, thus shortening the waist In effect. The stiff, straight sash with Its looped ends and upright bow ls particularly smart. this note would bo the address of the sender and also the date on which it was written and, slnca games are men tioned, the Invited person might wear any pretty light-colored dress. The answer to a written Invitation would also be In writing and in the form of the usual gracious note, but If a print ed card came the wording of this would be couched In the third person and the response would copy the form some thing after this manner: "Miss Eleanor Blank accepts with pleasure Mrs. Brown's kind Invitation for June fourteenth. "Grave Villa, "June fourth, 19 ' Or the response would say that "Miss Eleanor Blank regrets that a previous engagement will prevent her accept ance of Mrs. Brown's Kind Invitation for Juno fourteenth." The hostess of the garden party ls al ways ready to receive the first guest. ml with tha aDnearance of this per son, whether man or woman, the music begins. The hostess can, II sne wisnes, dispense with a hat, using her chiffon or lace parasol to shield her eyes. It the lawn ls very large she- stands In the pretty -quarter set apart for re ceiving and gives her hand and a gracious welcoming word to every guest who appears. She may receive with her husband, son, daughter, friend or sisters beside her, or she may re ceive alone. Such guests as are com parative strangers she introduces at once to other friends, sometimes rec ommending the men to take the la dies to this or that part of the garden to see some view or flowers of especial loveliness. As soon as a sufficient num ber of persons arrive for croquet or tennis these games may begin, or If there ls dancing this ls done on a large platform placed under a gay canvas roof for the purpose. The refreshments of the large func tion may be prepared on an elaborate scale, and they are commonly served under an awning, with several man servants and maids prettily dressed to do the serving. Strictly speaking. It Is rather at the smajl function that 'a guest is called upon for extra efforts, for in the inti mate circle the hostess of such affairs would get about them there is more possibility of personal Importance. So at the cottage lawn party, as there would not be room perhaps for games, a guest with a musical gift might be called upon to sing, or some other capable In a different line might be asked to recite, do slelght-of-hand tricks and so on. The hostess, however prepares the guest by asking permis sion ior xnese rejuesw tciwicia.uu, auu if everybody ls too bashful to accept the Invitation she ls supposed to take the refusal with grace. At an imitation garden party on a roof top any graceful little stunt ls In order, and here the talk would probably be much less conventional than at a bigger function, and the refreshments no more than sandwiches and tea or lemonade. A moonlight garden. party is a beau tiful affair, although there are lamps hung about In the trees and shrubbery so as to have sufficient light for ease. A costume garden party is another ver sion for these pretty outdoor affairs, but the Invitation always designates that fancy dress will be worn, and In this country this highly ornamental phase of the outdoor fete ls more gen erally for children than for grown-ups. The hours for a day garden party vary, although the common way ls to begin the function at 4 and end It about 7. The evening one, being a more festive form of the function, could be gin at 8 and end at midnight. The , Little -feilk coats and capes are an other fad. Over lingerie and garden party frocks of very diaphanous char acter and with rather decollete bodices are worn gay little coats and wraps made of changeable silk. These little wraps, shown In the illustration, are cut in quaint shapes and often puffings and cordings add to the old-timey fla vor. The coat pictured ls of change able pink and gray taffeta, piped with mauve. At either side of the back the coat is slashed and laced together with strips of the taffeta. The hat is a graceful picture shape of gray tagel, faced with violet and trimmed with gray plumes. " cooling drinks and light bites that are supplied are taken at any time, couples strolling into the refreshment booth whenever they choose. June ls also the most fashionable Summer month for these outdoor receptions. PRUDENCE STANPISH. HAIR REMOVERS ARE DANGEROUS Physicians Say: "Don't Use Poisonous Depilatories." The extravagant claims recently made by unscrupulous manufacturers of hair removers In sensational adver tisements unquestionably Justify phy sicians in cautioning the public against the use of this class of depilatories. How many people have been enticed into using these dangerous prepara tions, with consequent injury to them selves, cannot be estimated, hut only gutssed at. ' The preparations above referred to are invariably In the form of creamy pastes, which are to be spread upon the skin to remain until they dry. These contain Sulphide of Barium, an Insoluble chemical, which cannot be dissolved: therefore cannot be absorbed by the skin. The very fact that you are told to leave these pasty com pounds on the skin until they dry and cake and then lift off with a knife is proof positive that they are not absorbed. If they are, why do they still remain on the skin? The most they can possibly do ls to remove the surface hair, which in consequence will reappear stronger and thicker after each removal. There ls only one logical and scien tific way to remove hair, and that is by means of a liquid containing solu ble ingredients which can be absorbed by the skin. De Miracle, known all the World over as the only real super fluous hair remover, is just such a preparation. It ls easily and quickly absorbed and after you have used It you will note there is nothing left on the skin. It leaves the skin free from irritation, and what is more to the point, it is absolutely non-poisonous; therefore it will not produce ec zema or blood poisoning. Remember, no matter what . claims are made to the contrary, no poisonous, pasty com pound or so-called "liquid cure" ever did or ever will kill a single hair root, and we can prove it. Beware of the fake free advertisers and others who by wording of their ad vertisements, try to .give the impression that newspapers and other reputable publications endorse their worthless preparations. Don't be deceived by them. De Miracle Is the only prepara tion which is so endorsed. De Miracle ls sold at all good stores, including Lipman. Wolfe & Co. No honest dealer will offer you a substitute on which he makes more profit. We will send you a 52-page booklet containing full Information concerning this remarkable treatment, as well as testimonials of prominent physicians, surgeons, dermatologists, medical Jour nals and the principal magazines and newspapers. You should- - read this booklet before you try anything. Write to the De Miracle Chemical Co., Dept. L, 2, 1905 Park Ave., New Tork, sim- . ply saying you want this booklet, and It will be mailed, sealed, at once. Note All readers of this paper who are afflicted with superfluous hair growths are strongly advised to write for Information concerning this, won derful method, which ls endorsed the World over by eminent authorities, ' who have made a lifelong study of this subject. i
