Show 1 Woman's World 1 ' "GOD BLESS US EVERY ONE." God blw? us, every one." prayed Tiny Tim. Crippled and dwarfed of bodv yet so tall Of poul we tiptoe earth to look at him. High towering over all. He loved the loveless world, nor dreamed, indeed. That it at best could give to him the while y Put pitying glances when his only J . n'ed Was but a cheery smile. .And thus he prayed, "God bless us every ev-ery one!"' Enfolding all the creeds within the span Of his child heart; and so, despising j none. Was nearer saint than man. T like to fancy God in Paraui:-e, Lifting a filter o'er rhythmic swing (if chiming harp and song, with eager eyes Turned eastward, listening The anthem Ftilled, the angels leaning there Ahovo the golden walls the morning sun Of Christmas burning flower-like with the prayer, -;od Mess us everyone!" James Whitoomb Riley. TRICKS IN THE TRADE OF BEAUTY MAKERS (Chicago Tribune.) Thrrf is in New York a dainty parlor par-lor into which only a few and an extremely ex-tremely favored few are ever admitted. admit-ted. Admittance costs too much and ' th. parlor is lun on too exclusive a s.vi'o to nermit the admission of the many. Inside this parlor there f-its a I- renriiw oman. ne ir cioerty ana ncr hair is gray. But her figure is the figure fig-ure of a girl and her skin !s the skin of u paoh. Her voice is young, her hands are young, and her step is the elastic step if girlhood. The old woman is famour, for she boastis of having made many a professional profes-sional beauty. " I create and preserve lliein," she says. "I took Langtry and kipt her youthful and I did the same with Patti. I have preserved hundreds of ociety women." J This woman particularly restored the nock of the princess of Wales so that she cmild clasp her famous Knjah pearl necklace around her throat again, and he treated the neck cf a celebrated French actress so that it was once more lithe and sinewy; A society woman j who wanted to wear a curl applied to her and with such success that her i face, throat and neck were whitened end she could wear the fashionable and , trying curl instead of a necklace. But the nrinoess of Wales was the most I grateful of all her pupils, and her beauty, wlfeh has been commented on the present season, was largely due to ; theje processes, which, by the way, are such that any woman can try them. ! Too Much Health. A reporter of this newspaper called ; upon the old-woman some days ago and was permitted to sit behind the scenes , while she "treated" her patients. Among her callers was a blooming wo- i man of perhaps 35. She walked with a vigorous step, as if she were glad to keep moving. When she had seated herself, she said: . "I am in good health. And it is my ', good health that is the cause of all my ) trouble. My cheeks are too red. My ; flefh is too abundant. My ever? are half closed with fat and I am too hear-j hear-j ty in fppetite. I am too healihy. My 5 skin, instead of being a pretty pink, is I a bright scarlet." 'You do pot take care of your skin." i said the beauty maker. "It is mottled. I whereas it ought to be a nale. pretty I pink, or at best a rosy glow. Begin II to treat it at once. Before going out jl spat some witch hazel on your face, j I Let it dry on. Bub a bit of cold cream j I into your face, no bigger than two pea.?. J Then put on a layer of good face pow- ; j dev. Let it remain upon the skin. And jus; before going out remove the sur; ' J plus with a soft cloth.

Heat all together and drop in- about six drops of l'enzoin. Stir as it is cooling and put It into a wide mouthed jar. Use freely upon the face. Making Eyes Pretty. " V ' But my face chaps wickedly.?' ' "Then use a cream that is called al mond cream of milk. Take a lump of white wax as big as half an egg and tr !i it in two ounces of the oil of al-ni al-ni inds. and to this add a tablespoon of white vaseline. This will make a creamy mixture that can be used in quantify upon the face. It can never injure it. The cream will be soft and delicate. Scent it with a drop of rose, j "'Jenerally speaking, cold cream is' f ii l to cause the hair to grow on the I ffo'e, and possibly it may tend toward I tliiit result. The face can be treated from time- to time for superfluous hair. This is not a difficult thing to remove fit any time, anil no woman need be fi!flicte,l with it." '"While 1 am here I want to consult ymi in regard to my eyebrows. They thin and ucly. You see, the hair prows jn sputa." "They can be remedied by painting th :n f.very night with a mixture of t'd vaseiine and olive oil, equal parts. M'lt tog-ether and apply to the eye-brow eye-brow with a camel's hair brush." "But my eyes are' red and 'watery fti'l often they twitch and feel unoom- ."I'di'ic. me re any v.a iu i ui c nun n s.iereeRWe- feeling?'

"But I am troubled with heaviness. I am gaining in weight and I am losing my fine outlines." "For this there is nothing the equal of diet. Take a teaspoonful of phosphate phos-phate of soda in hot water before each meal. Drink little or nothing with your rnals and do not eat meat more than once a. day. Walk all you can. "I am fond of walking." "It is a. good thing. But be careful that you do not drink too much fluid while walking. Walking brings on a weariness and thirst, and the temptation tempta-tion is to drink too much water. There have been vases whore a woman really grew fleshier on exercise. And the reason rea-son was not far to find. It was simply and entirely because f her water drinking propensities. She would drink a full glasts of water, or of soda, or of sarsaparilla or other mixed fluid to every ev-ery mile she walked. The result was seen in a quickened digestion and an accumulation of fat." "But what shall I do when I am thirsty?" "Take a bite of fresh fruit. Keep an apple or an orange on the table by your side. and. when thirsty, take a bite or such of the fruit. Your thirst w ill be quenched and you will not take in puch quantities of water." "When walking, what can I drink, or when golfing?" "Do not drink, but try to slake your thirst again upon fruit. Take a whole grape rruit. or the juice ot two oranges. Take the fruit slowly and you -rill feel your thirst, disappearing. It is a bad plan to drink too much fluid when you are reducing." Foods to Avoid. "But they say that water is healthy." "So it is. But you take your fluids into the body with your food, and fruit is nearly all water. Its acid iiroperties, however, prevent the accumulation of fatty tissue." "Do you approve of body exercises?'' "Yes. for those who cannot get out and walk and who do not golf. They are good for the shop girl, good for the houseworker. good for the professional woman, good for everybody who can-rot can-rot exercse in the open air." "But you have not told me what to do for food. What shall I eat while I am taking your walking exercises? Are all foods good for me?" "By no means. There are foods that can be taken in as queat quantity as you may desire. These include lamb chops, baked potatoes, stewed fruits of all kinds-boiled and baked fish, fowl and vegetables. This gives you a fine variety." "And the foods to avoid are?" "Fried foods pork. veal, liver and cheese. Sticky pastry, intent' Sweets, red meat generally.' nuts and shell fish. Avoid also anything that' seems fatty and avoid all foods that are known to disagree w ith you. There, is such a tning as personal iuiosyncra:3y, aim you must study your own", peculiarities if you expect to secure a dietary which will agree with you." "How will this affect my complexion complex-ion ?" "It will make it purer and better, and inside of a month you will hardly know yourself for the same' woman." To Keep the Baby "Warm. To keep the "baby warm tlTis is the purpose for which Philander F. Chase, a Chicago inventor of articles for children's chil-dren's comfort, devised his pillow sack, which has proved a boon to many a mother who has no one to help her in her housekeeping and the care of her children. For it enables her to take her baby with her when she goes marketing, mar-keting, or visiting, no matter how chilly the weather, and it makes it possible for her to leave her little one out on the porch to--sleep in winter witn a comfortable assurance that he can neither nei-ther kick off his coverings, or. on the other hand, feel any restraint of his natural activity. The pillow sack is so simple in construction con-struction that it seems a wonder some utilitarian mother did not think of it before. It i merely a soft pillow, covered cov-ered with a pretty case and loosely filled with down, with one end folded into the other end, ihus making a bag that is warmer and softer for Baby Runtinc than anv rahhit skin ronld possibly be. It can be fastened up about the child at his waist, or his neck, and one side can be" curled, up behind him as a rest for his head, as well as a protection from the cold. The bag. is loose enough to allow him to kick as much as he iVeases; it is soft enough to make him comfortable, and warm enough to prevent him from taking co'd. The invention of the pillow sack has I an interesting story. When Mr. Chase I was superintendent of the Children's I Aid society he was much distressed by the fact that infants brought to him from the county and other hospitals I in winter time were so chilled by their I journey that they did not recover vitality. vital-ity. One day he hit upon the scheme of carrying each in a soft pillow folded into itself in the manner described above. To his delight he found that the children arrived at their destination in as good condition as when they left the hospitals. It occurred to him that the pillow sack might be used for older children, and that it would be serviceable serv-iceable to mothers who were obliged by circumstances to take their babies out of doors in all kinds of weather. It has proved to be an outdoor covering for winter use for which the fur robes of rich children are a poor substitute. Catholics Should Marry Young. In a pastoral letter recently published Bishop Col ton of Buffalo says: We would lastly call attention of the faithful to the matter of matrimonial matrimo-nial alliances. While the religious state is so admirable and praiseworthy, it is. we know, only for the favored few tvhom Clod calls to His aid from the noble and generous youth of both sexes, to help cultivate the vineyard, and of which He says: "The Vineyard is ready and the laborers are few." and while we would ask that the good voung men and young women' of the diocese to look into their hearts and see If they do not discern an aptitude for living and laboring for God alone, and if. hearing His voice calling them and inviting them to come and give themselves up to his service, they gladly glad-ly do so, we realize at the sama time that it is God's will that most men and women are meant by Him to remain in the world end to enter the marriage state and perpetuate th? human family, fam-ily, for God says to man: "Increase and multiply." .In this regard we ask our voung men and. women to take se-riouslv se-riouslv to heart the command of Holy Church that they are to seek partners of their own faith. Mixed marriages j are to be avoided, as man and wife J should remember that the first object j of lh?ir union is to save their immor- i tal souls and the souls of their off- j spring, and this can hardly be had mi- ! les they start out in their married life ( ' with the same true faiin and with the j I blessing of God imparted to 'them; i through the priest in a truly Chris- i tian marriage. We would, moreover, (: point out the implied obligation of early ear-ly marriages incumbent on our Catholic Cath-olic people, for in the prayers of the j nuptial mass it implores for the newly- I wedded counle that they may live to cPe their children and their children's -children to the third and fourth gene-( , ration; and how rail W V&M In t- unless the marriages take place in the early years of manhood and womanhood? woman-hood? Let the young, and especially the young men. take more seriously into consideration the duties ef life and particularly let them ask the blessing bless-ing of God upon th all-important matter mat-ter of settling themselves in life, and the evils in this respect will gradually disappear. Search for Ixist Wedding Ring. What article about the household is more persistantly hunted' for when lost then any othar? The wedding ring. The wonvm who has lost the golden circlet that has been placed on her finger by her iover will turn everything about a hcu - o upside down in an effort, to recover the treasure. She will lock for it long .ift?r she would give up anything any-thing else. A Chicago woman to whom was given giv-en a beautiful diamond ring by the man whom he afterward married missed it. She felt sure it had been misplaced. She hunted the house over time and agiin. She emptied everything every-thing she nought might contain the article, but without avail. She had moved on-e r twice and every time she tore up things. in the old house and replace 1 them in the new she kept on hunting for the lost ring. One day while she was dusting the bric-a-brac something 'nsHe a vase rattled. She turned it upsi le down and out fell the lost ling. Tod-iy she does not know-how know-how of w'ne.i she could have put it there, but no w .t is more treasured than ever. A Dixon (111.) woman recovered her wedding ring months after it had been lest and all but given up. The loss of it made her so ill she wasn't the same woman, hei neighbors say. She had looked in every nook and corner of the house without avail. One day her husband hus-band went into the pantry to'get a cup. There was plenty of them on the lower shelf, but something led him to reach up andget one from the top shelf. The weddings-ring was in it. The wife believes be-lieves she lost il there while she was wiping the dishes. It was loose on her finger and it dropped off without her noticing it. m- |
