Jf I must sweep, can I keep my light hhlr bright looking?" - And with each pathetic little note I see visions of , some young bride struggling for the flint time with the difficulties of doing und looking well. Today, then, I want 10 suifgest a few ways In which even the hardest workjrjg f young house wives may yet manage to Jook her best on leisure eVenlnga. ; 1 Where Is tho woman who does hot want? to preserve her looks? There Is a certain restful feeling thbt comes to every woman who is well groomnd t think It la because after bard work tires the--nerves--the monotonous task. o dressing rests them again. This must be It, But I must hasten to the advice fotMho lay." - -t j V GOOD ADVICE When you sweep down the wall don't neglect to cover-your hair. The don ning of a cap only takes a minute, and such little acts of care make a difference In your appearance. In fact, the cap should always be worn all through the; dusting and sweeping time, and then if some one comes to call you have only to slip It off and greet them. The dust thut settle, op your face should be re moved with cold cream,' not water, or, better still, .the Juice of a cucumber prepared and kept as a wash for just ' such a contingency. - When , you cook do not lean over the stove and peer Into the pan. It ,is not necessary, and you may get the satno results by stirring your concoction 'with a long-handled spoon that will not bring . you so close to the heat. Steaming the face Is all very well, but It should be done but seldom, and then the eteam I ( : v.

This cai'e saves pimples, and often fever blister T If the face be comes red from .heat, it may soon be whitened by dauliliig upon temples and hose a solution of peroxide. This should be kept in the kitchen and applied with 1 .absorbent cotton. Scrubbing Is, I suppose, the bane of the Housewife's existence, and the question- is, Should a floor be scrubbed at cost oflnjury to hands and figure twice a week, or should It be mopped clean once a day? I should prefer the last method; ila frequency would Insure cleanliness, and It is far better for the worker. A clean house may be acquired by the effort of a single day. A filear complexion and youthful appearance may not be recalled once they are lost. Which would you prefer to own?

There Is hardly a com munity, bo it large or small, that does not possess a certain sial clique which fellows, as closely as may be, the best of tho sfreal world of society. In the penitential setson it is the custom to givo a certain amount of time to churthgoing and to good work, and this Is tho opportunity for the woman who would increase her number of friends. It Is only a very young girl who will consider a few' masculine acquaintances niore"nhmblb than a large visiting list. It Is true that each young man may be regarded In the light of a possible hus band, but when she-Is married she will be forced to real'ae that a man, even the most devoted, will feel some chagrin if his wife can bring no women with her to mnka more pleasant the new life. That Is a wlfo's part. The husband can always providf acquaintances of his own rex. Then there Is the woman wMd moves Into a new locality iand who 'has not yet found her place among her surround ings. She must first of all select her visiting list, and until the matter is set tled she must feel an outsider. As I have said before, men alone do not make the good tims that girls enjoy, nor do they satisfy i he. married women. Other women aro necessary for advice on the thousand little household problems, for the complete "njoyment of the last bit of gossip, and. best of all, they are nec , esaary to break the monotony of a long day when husbands are at work. GAINhfO FBIENDS To gain theae friends, then, there can be no better time than during the forty days of Lent, for there are sewing cir . rles, bazaars and hospital work to bring acquaintances together and to provide a common interest .ropi which good friendship may apetng. SoclaJ position , may be for tho moment almost forget--.ten. Money need not be considered. Re sults only ere sought for, and the in-' popular girl or the stranger in the town may then find an opportunity for show ing her true worth- If she have ability, aha will become the most Joyfully re- reived member of the set, and a little 'consideration and tact may ave the position. eyet after Easter.' There is much to be said on the sub- JecU'but I aziafrad it may not aa come under Jhe head of social usage. I ran. however,'- "mention a few detaiia without oversteinlng my subject . Tact la most essential in. society. Without It -on may not hope to sue- ; reed, srtd with it must come charity , and gentleness, for all three go hand In haad. If the unpopular girl reviews her bfe and her conversation she will . And that she .slacking In at least er,e f these virtoea. Why not seise ITils op- portanlty to acquire it? Iloer raa any one fc really unloved If she be kind and tviiOiTatft ir ise rjK", rlrtty xf tbe absent? She ne-d not be (-lever at repartee, the aeed k,t even be learned. Te take tbe place of tbeae two quatll es she red only aosant a god fTre-wory and ni l benmp a r4 t e--ai.-ja f the, most Siuted eriteriainei .t tiie world only knew the art of listen l"ff. If ypti find your friends do hot love to hear you talk you need only listen to them. They will be satisfied, and ."you wiU-aoon begin to be yourself. Let your lemaiks be Interesting, and Bpeaft iTagenlTorT5w voloe, anTTyou" will "be astonished to see how soon you wili-..rise In the opinion of your ac quaintances. This advice may, perhaps, be difficult to follow,' but I can assure you it will be worth the struggle. I think that women who yearn for popularity, and there are many of them, 'imagine that hosts of men make a salon. They do not. Get the women first; the men will fallow of thelr'own accord. BE FAIR TO ALL Lenten sewing classes are usually held in the morning, and It is customary for each member in turn to be hostess and ntertain the guests at lunch. If -this Is to be the rule, then it Is fairer and more pleasant to make it a law that each luncheon must be limited to a cer tain number of courses, say four, and that, they slkall be simple. In this way the poorer members need feel no em barrassment, for the rich ones will have . no opportunity to make them appear at a disadvantage. If the sewing circle is held 1ft the afternoon, li should meet at S o'clock, an! tea should be served about 5. It Is well to limit this, too, and to keep It as simple as possible. Olives and cheeso sandwiches, tea and simple cakes should bt, sufficient. . Sometimes during the hours of sew ing one member , reads aloud, but I think this l. better left to the dis cretion of the hostess of the day, for u little general conversation is a ' relief, and if cutting must be dona, it Is dimcult to concentrate one'a attention on anything else. no reaHort to allow any One to put you In a falsa position. Airs. Brown should stand up and tight for herself, She may do it If she has her strength. Mourning for Husband's Relatives Dear Mrs. Adams.v W hat mournm should -mtahflTTiTft relatives?
