ELBOWS MUCH CARE REQUIRE d PRETTY TAFFETA CARRY ALL THE IMPEDIMENTA Lace Useful Dressing Pouches tained the Popularity They Deserve. Elbows which have been scarified by a season of net and lace sleeves will need very careful cuddling before they may appear with grace in the ball dresses of winter. One authority advises rubbing the joint every night with olive or almond oil, giving it a good scrub with a stiff fcrush and soap and water beforehand. A careful drying with a soft old cloth is an important point, but it is while the flesh is still warm and the pores open that the oil is supplied. In extreme cases of roughness the operation is helped by an pad which should be bound on at night. A flesh brush may also be employed to advantage on the small eruptions which sometimes appear on the upper arm and upon the back between the shoulders. As lack of circulation is generally the cause of these, the friction will cause their entire disappearance in time and keep the skin immune from a second crop. The flesh brush is likewise necessary for removing the dead skin from the body, for if these dry particles are left to smother the pores the skin can never present a healthy or clean look. Use the brush with a dry rub, and then after the bath wield it courageously for a good five minutes more. lihood. For (he men that remain in the town the women do not seem to en tertain the greatest respect. Most of them have become Incapacitated for work or are shiftless and idle. So the "women run matters themselves. The thrift that the conditions mentioned inspire is something of a passion among the women. It seems that there Is a constant struggle with each one of them to make more money than the man who goes to sea. They frequently accomplish this, too, for the returning fisherman finds fre-qntly that his yearly gain of $150 or 1200 got after a hard battle from the sea is more than equalled by the patient and careful ?nusewlfe that he eft at home. 5. efVlK self-relian- WAIST.

They are made of tan or stone gray waterproof moire, leather lined 'and strap handled, of khaki rubber-proomaterial, English pigskin, patent leather, russet or black, alligator and genuine walrus skin. Grain leathers of various kinds of finish are employed for combination bags, which have a lower portion adapted for holding skirts and an upper section supplied with cold cream, boracic acid and soap receptacles, as well as compartments for brushes and manicure tools. While club, kit, Oxford and Gladstone bags in real walrus skin are deemed exceedingly smart, they are rather difficult to handle, whereas the oblong shaped leather lined wicker dressing bags are wonderfully light of weight, capacious and the very latest device for holding motoring luggage. f ft W2 w s, d lace-edge- inf trouolaH nn thn antra up iiio roiluiiu J' d the Ahd4je-saisights were GRAND.

While playing on a bench on the porch the baby leaned over the porch railing and, losing his balance, fell to the ground. The child's mother, hearing him scream as he fell, ran to the porch and saw him lying on the ground 20 feet below. Frantic with fright she ran down the stairs, believing he had been killed. Just as she was about to pick the baby up, to her amswement and delight, he looked up into her face and smiled: "I Just fell down." he lisped faintly. The child was taken to the office of a physician and thoroughly examined, but it was found that no bones were broken and he seemed to have suf fered no ill effects from his fall. r I I 11 .

All the men are fishers and they spend the greater part of the year at sea. They are good sailors and they man the craft that venture across the Atlantic to the French fishing grounds along the Newfoundland coast. It was their rights that used to come up freby fishery quently for adjustment commissions, and it is the loss of their vessels that almost every year brings Borrow to Cancale and the neighboring coast.

There is no woman mayor, no worn an in the town council. The offices are left as a mere matter of form to the men, who are seldom there to fill them, but the women are a law unlo themselves; they make up the who!:1 town, transact all the business, police the place, maintain order and strict the manage sanitary conditions, schools, and at the same time carry on the most famous oyster industry al France, doing the entire cultivating and selling and transporting the prod uct of the ocean beds, even loading and unloading the seagoing ships that come and go at the port.

Ask a French sailor where of all ports excepting of course out of chivalry his own native town the most beautiful of French fisher girls are to be found and he will tell you at Cancale.
