I . ) Unlock your love: your pride forsake; I Remember, some poor heart mav ache For just what you this hour can do The bonds of silence cold, to break! ' Sister Amadeus, O. S. F. J . ' J Tilt cany to Bed and Early to Rise Girl. ! (Marion -Martinoau in Chicago Tribune.) ( "Early to bod and early to ritre makes a man j iliealthy and. wealthy and wise." I The early to bed plan embraces a great deal ! beside proing to bed. It means a full line of ythysi- ! cal culture exercises at night and a bath which is 5 known as the beauty bath. In the performance of the beauty bath there may not be ns much as. one j- drop of water. - ' v The beauty bath consists of massage, the knead-inpr knead-inpr ihe of the. face and the neck, the driving away I of wrinkles, the checking of the insidious advance of crow's feet, ami the absolute driving -away of all blemishes which have accumulated during the day upon the countenance. To get eight hours' good sleep should be the aim of every woman who wants to keep her beauty. If the woman be inclined to adipose tissue she should limit her slopping hours to seven, for it is rest and slep which make her fat. If, on the other hand, she be nervous, she can increase the number of hours to nine, for there i something about the beauty sleep which not only knits up the ravaled sleeve of care, but also mends the nerves and restores re-stores the nerve fluid. But in order to cot this seven, or eight, or nine hours of good, restful sleep, as the case may be, the woman who wants to look her best must take ihe right precautious. She should be entirely comfortable com-fortable as to her digestion. And this means that her stomach should be well supplied with easily digested foods. liarebits. greasy nuts, meats and ll)o like do not come under this heading. The foods that are easily digested are fruits, loast and some kinds of cake. Cake made light without butter is as nourishing as bread, which is often not well baked and fr.r too buttery to bo good for the stomach. To go to bed hungry is never a good thing for Iteauty's sake. The body feeel uneasy during the night and the face shows this uneasiness. You waken wak-en with h furrow in your forehead. ard often the I victim of au empty stomach will make up lying ' flat upon the face. and tossi ng. restlessly. - Again, the one who wants to sleep soundlv must ! not sleep without a pillow, for nothing so drives the blood to the brahv. In eases of great nervousness the pillow should be extremely high, and those who work with the brain should also cultivate the habit of sleeping with the head well elevated. Again, ihe girl who wants to waken pretty in the morning must not go to bed without performing perform-ing a few calisthenic feats. And. while engaging at these, she can take" comfort in the thought that her brother and all her men cousins arc doing like-i like-i wise in a certain way. A'.mau after his evening. meal gaoe out. ITe takes a walk, makes a call, maybe goes to a gymnasium. gym-nasium. Perhaps he goes back to his work. In any ac. he ha exercise. lie has not fallen into the habit of sinking into the easy chair for four or five hours before he goes to bed. A woman, on ihe other hand, rarely goes ou in the evening, and. unless she supplies herself with some artificial exercise, her figure will suffer and her bruin will grow loggy. It is claimed that a gn at many women doze off after dinner; and, after aft-er napping an hour or two. over a book 'ora b it of sewing, they roll off to bed. sinking into a heavy sk-ep until morning. Women who do this will certainly grow heaw below the belt 1 ine; they will certainly grow thick "thmujrli ihe hips; they are apt to grow bulky in the Lnrrr limbs; they are sure 10 grow pudgy under the cliin. Fat advances rapidly under such eneourag-inc eneourag-inc circumstances as this, and ihe woman who indulge in-dulge thus will find lhat her youth and her beauty are v,n oft far in ihe background. V hat can she do. 1 his woman who has grown out f gymnasium practices and who is so tired night that she feels as if she could not stir? M by he can do many a smrplo thing. And one of the first and the last is that of pole: climbing. Have you ever tried to be Jack to a "Jack and ihe eln-stalk.'' Probably not. Yet it tis not too Luc 10 begin. 'Hi must find a way to fasten a pole so-that it will be upright. Perhaps there is a friendly door-war door-war over the top of which you can place a contrivance con-trivance into which the pole will slip. Your chief duty now is to ''shin' the pole. Bouin by twisting your leg around it and limbing. You will not. get fat. But you can make a start.' our little boy will shov you how to shin up 1o lie iop of the pole in a minute and you. in your gymnasium suit, can admire, even though you cannot do iroro. by way of imitation, than strike, ihe first position in ihe shinning process. But you can vault the pole. You may not do it in professional ' fashion. But "you can put one foot on it and climb over if you cannot do any-ihing any-ihing else. Elevate the pole between two chair's and, get over it somehow. A woman who weighed over 200 pounds, and i pilose sister weighed nearly the same, inaugurated in her home a series of household gymnastics. Each night she and her sister, hi gymnasium suits, climbed over a pole which was placed exactly three feet from the floor. : How they got over it the first lime they never could tell. But it sent them to bed puffing and full of ound sleep. But. after a while, when the fat had got down to something like l."0 pounds, they could vault over without touching the pole, or with only one steadying hand. The eight hours' comfortable sleep will be followed fol-lowed by a vigorous awakening for the healthy. If-"iie If-"iie le in a poor phvsical state one can take a few light gymnastics, for. when all things, are considered, consid-ered, it is exercise that does the body good, not idleness. idle-ness. Of course there are people who should not exr creUe at all. and unfortunately these are the ones who are most apt 1o take up gymnasium ;work. In the number who ought not to do so ran be- in-' eluded all people over Q year's" of age. " ' V Letters and Answers' . j liss.: T am young, being scarcely more than "0 years old, yet my hair is gray. What can I do for it .' You and another correspondent have written on Ibis particular subject. Massage the roots of the hair with cold water, just touching the roots with ihe finger tips. Every. other night use almond oil instead of water. Do not use enough to make the hair oilv. 4 B. K.: Is there any way to take laughing wrinkles ut of the face' ' ' A correspondent has asked .almost' the same question, though in a different way. Laughing wrinkles are often pretty. But if yours are disfiguring dis-figuring to Jlie, face, youujean take a little good . wrinkle cream and -go . over the wrinkles, rubbing -across the"1. Leave the-wrinkle cream on the face. ' M. II.: I am troubled with obstinate blackheads black-heads around my mouth and nose. Can you give me a cure ? -' - Obstinate blackheads can be taken out of the face by heating the skin. "When the skin has been heated with hot water rub it well with soap jelly. Wash off with three or four hot waters. Now ex-. ex-. amine your face and see if nearly all the blackheads black-heads are not gone. It is almost a sure cure. II. G. : My face is peppered with blackheads. Tell me how to get rid of them. Bub the face well with soap jelly, after you have steamed it with hot water. If bad wash the face with boracic acid made by dissolving borax powder pow-der in hot water. Use several quarts of water. G. B. M.: My teeth arc in bad condition. They spoil my mouth, which would otherwise be well shaped. Bad teeth should be intolerable to a woman's sensibilities. Money cann he expended better than with a good dentist.. Seek one who will try to restore re-store the teeth by enamel work, as this looks prettier pret-tier than gold. This sort of dentistry is called cosmetic dentistry. Mrs. X.: Give mc a remedy for thin, weak eyebrows. eye-brows. I want a good grower. Why can I not purchase your remedies anywhere; My remedies are not for sale.- but you can make them for yourself. If you will take an ounce of red vaseline and will put it in a double boiler, adding add-ing an equal quantity of oil of sweet almonds, and will stir constantly as it cools, you will have a good eyebrow grower. Touch the brows with the mixture every night, using a camel's hair brush. 0. K. G.: What can be done for brown spots one the forehead? I have some that come and go. They come when ypu are bilious and in poor . condition, and go away when you feci in good shape. The remedy is obvious. Keep yourself well and free from nervousness. T. II.: I am bothered with eye sacs. They are in the form of heavy bags underneath the eye. Do you know of some way to make them disappear? Eye sacs usually denote kidney trouble. You can get rid of them by taking the proper treatment. treat-ment. They are sometimes caused by dissipation, by late hours, or by excessive worry. In no case I should they be neglected. j Mary J.: Is there anything that will reduce J my flesh without dieting? I am a good eater, and like cake and preserves and all kinds of nice food. Ido not eat so much, but I eat a little often. Your case is exactlv like others who are fat. There is nothing that will keep up the weight like a little food eaten often. You must not cat'more than three times a day. and then cat lightly. You will have to exercise the greatest self-control, for your taste for good things has grown upon you. Reader: What can I do for my excessive fleshiness? fleshi-ness? I weigh almost 200 pounds. You and another woman have asked about the same question, varying it a little. One woman actually, went without eating for a whole week, taking plenty of cool water meanwhile. She greatly great-ly reduced her weight.' But this is daugerous, if you have, heart trouble, and most fat people have. Better, by far, to diet slowly. ; Grace Y. : 1 want a good cream for the skiu. , A skin food would be the best. There is no skin food any better than this that T know: Take and eggshellful of pure mutton tallow. tal-low. Try it out yourself and measure it in an empty emp-ty shell. Add to tins an equal amount of spermaceti. sper-maceti. Melt in a double boiler, scent it with oil of rose geranium and add enough pure almond oil to make a thick, creamy mass. This will make a large quantity and you will not need any more for several weeks. ;- Gracia T.: How can I take tan off my face. I have lived in the West Indies and am as brown as a berry. For this there is nothing as good as time. The deep sun tan of the tropics wears off slowly, but it will come off in time. If you can do so, use boracic acid on the, face twice a day. Another reader has written about tan, but as hers is caused by ihe ordinary summer air, the case is different. She can remove hers by applying strips of raw cucumber cu-cumber to the face, letting the juice dry on. 1 The Sunday Menu. BREAKFAST. Baked Apples. Cereal and Cream. Sausage. Creamed Potatoes.

' .; . , ..- Canned goods should never be .left ; in .the can after .the-can is opened, even though only part of the contents is usedvat a time. Pour into a dish or porcelain lined vessel and leave exposed to the air several hours. t ..The. odor of onion's clinging to a knife or a cooking cook-ing vessel is inexcusable while hot water, sal soda or sa-polio can be-hd. Tf a knife that has been used to cut onions is taken into the back yard and run into the earth several times it will be entirely freed from the flavojr of the vegetables and will be well polished beside. A deal of energy is wasted through the zeal of youth. A dealer in feminie wearing apparel once told 1110 that the stock showed the difference in the ages of the caretakers better than anything else. The young woman would begin the week with splendid energy and finih with a lack of interest inter-est that called for reproof, while the older woman, 1 rained to the habit of neatness, put her stock in condition cacli day and kept it there. When the temper had not been soured by the aggravating whims of patrons he preferred the middle-aged to i the young employe. There is a point to consider. ! Is there any need of allowing the petty details of j life to'fnv the disposition and prey upon the i nerves? Cannot one take the journey of life in ! such a fashion that the temper mellows, the dispo- sition sweetens and the nature broadens? 1 have i seen a few instances that make me believe the thing is possible for all. Boston Traveler. j TEOUBLES THAT NEVER COME. The story is told of a lady who for a time kept ! 0 list of impending troubles. I Tt was a relief to see them down in black and white. Some months later in looking over the list she was surprised to find that nine-tenths of these troubles had never materialized. They had an existence ex-istence only in her imagination. The troubles that never come form the heaviest part of our daily load. The worry, the fear caused I by these apprehended miseries, often work sad havoc with brain and nerves. The actual sorrows, the bereavements, the disappointments, have their comfort and cure. But there is no cure for troubles that never come. They are haunting ghosts, substantial sub-stantial as mist, yet very real in their repressing and harmful power over us. There is toil in our daily living; there is weariness; weari-ness; still blessed rest will follow. But the weariness of imagined burdens drags the very heart and hope out of those who indulge in these unhealthful fancies. Each day comes as a fresh gift from the hand of God. , In it are just .the experiences His loving wisdom has ordained. Meet with a brave heart all that is in the day's portion, but shrink not from phantom lions nor from shadows that seem to blot out the sun. Catholic Mirror. TO RULE A HUSBAND. To rule your husband, my dear lady, do ex- i aetly as you please.. but always preteud that you do I as he pleases. That is where your ability comes in. Men are ruled, as children are, by the prospect of a reward. The reward of your husband is your amiability, your sweetness, your devotion and your beauty, of which you should take constant care. Love has to be fed constantly. Always let him suppose that it is for him that you wish to remain re-main beautiful. The woman who believes that she is asserting her independence every time she puts on a hat particularly displeases: to her husband i as clover and as intelligent at the Irishman wh buys a return ticket at a railroad orhce and n entering- the ear remarks to the passengers: "L have played a good joke on tin- company; 1 have bought a return ticket hutJ I am" not couiinsr back.' Mux O'Kcll in -Her: Royal Jlighnc. WV man."' THE MUSIC OF LIFE. I played upon tho organ A blithe and merry, lay. As tuneful as- the singing Of happy birds in May. It rippled forth from the keys of pearl. It filled my soul with glee: Ail the eiii th seemed fair, so free from care. And beautiful to me. F.ut soon the tune was changed into A sad. funereal dirse: And o'er Life's peaceful waters Death's angry wtives did singe. Fond, loving friends were swept beneath The all-unpitying tide: And those I held ihe dearest Were taken from my side. And now the notes are sad and low And filled with deep despair. The echoes of a weary soul Bowed low by Fate are there. The brilliant hopes are blighted. The wondrous dreams all vain, The tired spirit languor. Too weak to strive again. But ah! The music chanjjes To a melody divine. ! And I find rny soul far-reaching ! Thiough the long, lone halls; of Timf ! There I see the mystic mansion j And I hear the angels play i The grand, ecstatic melody Of Heaven's symphonic Pay. I T see the friends who loved me The dearest and the best i Their happy faces glowing In peace and blessed rest. Life's notes of woe are turned to joy And all the heavenly air. God's music holds no minor strain. Xo chord of woe is there. Kathleen A. Sullivan in the Xew World.' TOILET VINEGAR. An excellent wash to apply to the face when one is tired is a good toilet vinegar lotion. A well recommended one may be made by taking a pint of hot vater and adding to it a tablespoon ful of violet water, to which must be added a tablespoon ful of white vinegar, whieh has been drawn off a baiin of violets, made by covering the violets with pure white vinegar and letting them stand for a week. This lotion should be filtered and bottled, and then it is ready for use. A teaspoonful added to the bath will be found very refreshing. THE CHARMING VOICE. The current literature of Great Britain i- full of slighting allusions to the voices of American women. They are justified in a number of cases, j alas! far too large. But an American woman's j voice need not be loud and shrill. Nothing in her j constitution, nothing in the climate requires it to - j be so. It is true that a weak utterance or a j ''cracked'' voice may proceed from ill-health; but the high nasal tones that our foreign critics find so Ii.sarncnblr nro almost itiv;irinMy lu ir -hcor lit'(MTleu--.
