A tine camel's hair brush attached to the bottom of the ball passed over an ink pad as the ball swung and clearly marked its course on an eight-foot dial on the chapel floor.

One of the common physical defects to which women are prone Is a discol ored neck, due, It may be, to dyes, from Die clothing or to hair lotions, pomades, etc., which work down from the bead. Of course, barring the possibility of sunburn, the skin on the neck should have the same hue as that on the shoul ders. It Is well, however, before resort- lug to artificial means, to see what hot water, a coarse wash cloth and plenty of good soap will do in removing the discoloration. If a month of this nat ural treatment does not bleach the neck anoint it dally with peroxide of hydrogen. In case this Irritates the skin a little vaseline or sweet almond oil may be rubbed in after the chemical has dried. Baked Beans and Olive Oil.
