No woman really cares for the kind of lore that the hero In a novel makes. A dentist finds work for hia own Ireth by depriving other people of theirs. The amateur pickpocket Is always waltln? for an opportunity to get his band In. The value of a man's advice depends upon th success he achieves by fol loln It The ue of the mosquito, Is to show us that troublea are not always In propor tion to Ihetr slxe.

COPMKTIC-FAIItNESS Is a poor sub stitute for the peaches-and-cream complexion which nature bestows. Back from the country radiant with health and good looks, came maid and matron, too. a few weeks aso: and already steam heat, lack of fresh air and exer cise, late hours and over-indulgence In rich viands begin to tell their tale In lack-luster eyes, bleached skins and sallownesa. unly the debutantes with their un spoiled freshness can stand the pace, and even the iilrl In her second season begins to look fagged and faded by mid-season. Winter Is the time to so In for exercise, bathing and diet fadu to offset the Injury being insidiously done to one'good looks by luxurious Indoor living. Through the Summer one Is out of do .rs so much and exerclsins so regu larly that over-eating Is not as dan gerous. In fummer. also the pores are kept open by natural perspiration; all the air possible Is allowed In the sleeping-room at night, and the complexion has the benefit by day of sunshine and freMl breexes. Kegular exercise should be taken every day In town, whether In the form of a three-mile tramp, a canter on horseback, an hour at the skating rink, or In going through systematic exer cises In one's room. Tho warm bath on arising should be followed by a cool shower and brisk rub If a cold plunge Is not enjoyed. At least two hours of every day should be spent out of doors, and at night windows should be thrown wide open, even If this necessitates a flannel nightgown and sleeping cap. Hot breads, pastry and sweet, rich cakes should be avoided: crisp rolls or toast moderately buttered may be taken at breakfast with coffee and soft-boiled res. Tea and tuast. after the English fashion, at the 4 o'clock "hungry hour." are much better than the American Ice cream soda or the cocktail and caviar sandwich, which sophisticated feminine taste Indulge In at "afternoon tea" In a fashionable restaurant. Quantities of celery shoulJ be eaten: IcMuce is valuable as a complexion clearer and ro Is endive, which helps rid the sys tem of bile. Onions are an Invaluable aid to beauty and an onion eaten two or three times a week at night will do wonders for the skin. Chafing Dish, Little Stove and Percolator Enough. Ja of l.labt ll.aaeaeeplac Takea to sall Apart Bleats by Msaple Maderst Devleea. MANY a woman, living In a two-room-and-batb apartment and taking her meals In an adjoining pub lic dining-room, yearns at times for something "home-made" and delicious: chocolate layer cake, for Instance; or scalloped oysters, or old-fashioned mo lasses cake, or soda biscuit, tender and piping hot and made rich with a lit tle shortening. One woman condemned as she expressed It to live In a lux urious hotel apartment most of the year, satisfies her housewifery instincts by getting Sunday night tea In her own apartment, by aid of a chattng dish, a coffee percolator and a one-burner gas stove with a little oven about aa big as a baby's hatbajc. It Is surprising how many delectable things can ha baked In this absurd lit tle oven. Out of It come small layer rakes, pans of light biscuit, toothsome little drop cakes, small pans of piping hot Sally Lunn and rich glnget bread, for the Sunday niaht supper. The lit tle oven bakes only a small quantity, enough biscuit for four persons, twice around, and layer cake which makes only six good-sized slices; but the Sun day night opportunities to have a taste of real home cooking are much appreel ated by privileged guests, who also dwell In boarding places. No woman with fastidious taste and thought for her neighbors would venture to cook steaks or fry potatoes in an apartment-house where odors of cooking are not supposed to permeate but creamed entrees, salads, baking of the sort referred to and various appe tizing scalloped entrees may be pre pared by aid of chafing dish and a lit tle oven of the sort. These small ovens may be used on electric grills also, and rare Is the woman who docs not enjoy an occational "cooking-fest to keep her hand In at housekeeping . $300 MONTHLY TOO LITTLE Woman Afks for More Almotir, aa She Cannot Puy Bills.

In that country Miss Van Bibber's name Is a household word. By foot, by boat or mounted on her little grray pony, through all kinds of weather, she vi.sited her 33 isolated i-chools that stretched in an Irregular line 300 miles long.

The sashbow pictured here is of pale pink satin ribbon edged with fox fur, the fringe of fur being set between two layers of ribbon, so that both sides of the bow are alike. Nine loops of various lengths has this smart sashbow and the method of tying attests an expert's skill and art. Thetse fur-trimmed sashes are made also of pussy willow taffeta, of golden rod satin and other soft silken stuffs that go into danee frocks.
