VERY now and "TVien I receive
note from one of my correspond
ents Inquiring whether she may
hope ,to look her' beBt even,
though she must attend to the domeatlo
details of hef hoine. , 'lt I must cook,;
will my skin ever be, cltear and white?
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

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

dressing rests them again. This must
be It, But I must hasten to the advice

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

should not be laden Willi tho fumes of
coosing. 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.

Sewing Classes.
KNT provides each woman a won
drous opportunity for gaining
friends, a fact that every one does
not realise. . 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

she red only aosant a god fTre-wory

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.
