Show WOMAN'S WOULD I I COME INTO THE GARDEN, !KLAUI. j fonie ir.tn the garden, Maud, I For the black bat. night, lias flown, j I'ome into the parden. Maud, j 1 am here at the gate alone; iAnl the woodbine spices are wafted abroad; I And the musk of the rose is blown. j J'or a breeze of morning moves, I And the planet of love is on high, I jfginning to faint in the light that she I loves. I On a bed of daffodil sky. I To faint in the light of the sun sha I loves. To faint in his light, and to die. I .AH night have the roses heard j The flute, violin, bassoon; I .All night has the casement jessamine U stirred E To the dancers' dancing in tune. I Till a silence fell with the waking bird I And a hush with the setting moon. I Queen rose of the rosebud garden- of I girls, I f'line hither, the dances are done, I In closs of satin and glimmer of pearls, I Queen lily and rose in one: I Fhine out, little head, sunning over with I curls. I To the flowers, and be their sun. I There has fallen a splendid tear I From the passion flower at the gate. H She is coming, my dove, my dear; I She is coming, my life, my fate; I The red rose cries, "She is near, she is V near;" And the white rose weeps, "She is late:" The lackspur listens, "I hear, I hear;" And the lily whispers, "I wait." She is coming, my own, my sweet; Were it ever so airy a tread, ' My heart would, hear her and beat. Were it earth in an earthly bed; j My dust would hear her and beat, I Had I lain for a century dead; ' "Would start and tremble . under . her I feet. And blossom in purple and red. . . Tennyson HINTS ON THE ART OF j RETAINING GOOD LOOKS (Marion Martineau in Chicago Tribune.) The coquette will tell you a tale of map and water, not ordinary soap and wafer, but a prepared kind. The soap wf be of some good brand and the water will be softened With borax, or it is distilled water. In this she washes ner face with an unction which accounts for its clear, lovely tone. Was there ever a time when the great beauties of the king's court did not ' wash their faces? History says yes. Hut. oh: how doubtful it is: It is said i that there was a time when Patti did 5 not use soap and water, and a story ran riot that the lovely Mrs. Langtry and exquisite Princess of Pless knew nothing noth-ing of soap and water. But what a libel it was, and how it would have been re-f-nled had it been traced to its source! The best complexions are the direct i result of soap and water used not spar ingly but liberally. Then there follow iinznentp that preserve the kin and keep it nice. j The skin of the face is under a great disadvantage compared to the rest of i the body. It is exposed to all the elements ele-ments and to every condition. All the stormy winds that blow must beat upon ii and when th-ere is a sirocco it is the fa-e that receives the dust. Tempests and hurricanes are alike endured by th-s face, and it is little wonder that it shows the result of its hardships and exposures, There is nothing as beneficial as the 1 clearing of the face from foreign sub-f sub-f Ftan.-es. Then, if the coquette would heighten her color and make her skin nice, she may treat it with the best or ; unguents, lotions and creams. If she j really desires to redden the tone of her cheeks aixl lips, it is not bad form for nor 10 do .so artificially; and, if sha v.ishes to powder plentifully, she can comfort herself with the thought that it has the sanction of the best society. The coquette has bright eyes, but she j rV.tains these not by drugs, but by great ; care. She must not strain her eyes, for ih re is nothing that will redden them half as soon: she must not read when she is rocking, for this constantly changes the focus of the eyes and I makes them tired: she must r.ot try to ft -"' by a light which seems unnatural I t.j her and she must n-either read nor 1 f" upon an empty stomach. The eyes I flj'c curious members of the body and I '-nr. hp kept in training and kept young I " P'eat length of time, if one only Jtn-pws how to do it. ? The eyes, like other organs, grow old and eventually wear out. And the idea Is 10 keep them from growing aged, to )-, them from 'strain, and to keep H th-m as young looking as possible. I'o not. in caring for the eyes, rub then vigorously or rub them at all. If ne, .psary. dash a little tepid water into ' t neti. but do not press the eyeballs and - ' 11 't use even water any oftener than is necessary. The habit of putting water wa-ter ii to the eyes a great many times 'lay is bad. for it is sure to act as an initant. The eyes are supplied with a f'uid which lubricates and preserves l,pn. and foreign substances' of all kinds only tend to act as irritants. Oculists art- valuable members of so-'i"iy. so-'i"iy. and the coquette who finds eye trouble staring her in the face will speedily consult an oculist. The wear-i'i wear-i'i of eyeglasseB is considered a great beauty destroyer, and so it is, under ordinary circumstances, for eyeglasses take away the soft look and injure the expression of the eyes.- But. if well ntted and well worn, even this obstacle ; an be overcome. But the woman who j M:ns to be beautiful would do well to "void the necessity of wearing glasses. LETTERS AND ANSWERS. Mrs. T. : Please tell me the massage j ri!,veIT1onts for the treatment of lines f thai run across the forehead. Wet the finger tips in a good wrinkle 't. am. Pass them lightly over thfc forehead wrinkles, rubbing across the linea not in the creases. If you rub directly into the furrows you, will make L ihem deeper. Miss T.: T have a heavy crease t- across my forehead. It looks like a I bin furrow. It comes from scowling. 'hey say, yet I do not really scowl. Is there anything to be done for it? team the furrow, rub cold cream : into it. then wash it thoroughly with ''! J"iap and water, using a soft Scrub- j f bing brush. Rub again with cold j eream and dust lightly with, powder, j Ton -w 111 find it much less- conspicuous I than It was. G. T.: Is there anything that cau ! be done to prevent snoring? I snore sn loudly it awakens the whole household. house-hold. I go to sleep with my mouth hut. yet I snore just the same. Snoring is caused by one of two tilings, either a stoppage of the nasal Passage or a stoppage of the throat. Those suffering with a sore throat almost al-most invariably snore. And those who have trouble with the nostrils always snore. The remedy lies in removing the cause. Sready smokers are among the heaviest snorers. -A. B. H.: There are awful hollows in r neck. Some of them are po deep that you can hardly see the bottom f them just great holes. How would "u make them fatter? ' , would massage those hollows every J "'KM and morning with heavy cold It Team, and I would slightly warm the "earn, so that it would fink deeo into e skin. In a bad case like this' you oma hardly use too much of it. Ap- play two or three times a day if you j have time, and let it dry on. K. J.: Give me your best tan recipe. I want my face to be the color it was I last spring. To restore the skin, treat it as you would treat a piece of unbleached muslin. mus-lin. You would wash it. would you not. with bleaching substances? Bathe your face with water softened with powdered borax. Add a handful of bran. Once a day wet the skin with diluted lemon juice, keeping it away from the eyes. At night apply ben-zoinated ben-zoinated cold cream. T L. K. G.: Do you consider a diet of chopped raw meat healthful? I was advised to live upon raw meat chopped. I take it in sandwiches with plenty of pepper and salt on top. No, I do not consider it .healthy. Raw meat is not considered good lot-human lot-human beings. Cook your meat before you eat it. You will destroy germ life by the cookins. G. K.: I am a vegetarian, yet I do not peem to get as strong as I should. They say vegetarianism agrees with some people, but not with others. What is your opinion? I think they are about right. It does not agree with every person. Many do not derive sufficient strength from an all vegetable diet, and for these there should be meat as well as vegetablts. Meat taken three' times a week is allowed by many vegetarians. IL G.: Can a person live on wheat alone? I am told that it is the ideal food. Wheat alone may be ideal if one were to live in a perfectly natural ptate. But we, born in a state of civilization, civ-ilization, and living in this ordinary everyday world, find it necessary to eat a great deal besides wheat. Mrs. W. H.: I would like to try-electrolysis, try-electrolysis, yet I cannot afford the treatment. Can you tell me how I can perform it at home? Purchase an electric needle, one of the regular needles used for this purpose, pur-pose, attach it to a battery and then, seating yourself before a mirror, slowly slow-ly puncture the roots of the hair until you have killed every hair. M. C: Give me your treatment for the development of the bust. Apply cocoa butter nightly. Take deep breathing exercises, and eat and drink as much chocolate as you can. .1 B. C: Do you think that hair can be permanently removed from the face j when it has been there for many years and has been cut with the scissors until un-til it is all stubbly? Yes, hut it is not so easy. Electrolysis Electroly-sis is best. Next comes the tweezers, with diluted ammonia applied afterwards. after-wards. For the hair that is left try powdered pumice stone. ' T 1 Miss X.: What is the color of my hair? I enclose a lock. Please let me know at once. ' Your hair is exactly the color of the old bark on a tree, it might be called bark-colored hair. You could easily make It shine until it would show lovely love-ly red lights. Miss G.: I weigh nearly 200 pounds. Though I am tall, this is too heavy to be comfortable. It is, indeed. Why don't you try the Peary diet? This consists of fruit and tablets. Many foods can be purchased in tablet form. They are satisfying, though you miss the full feeling of a heartv meal at first. Miss H.: Is there any way to clear my complexion? I eat little, and never take pastry. Possibly you eat too much fresh bread. The yeast continues to ferment in fresh bread for a long time, and the bread is highly indigestible until this action has ceased. It need not be dry, for bread can be kept in a good, moist state for many days. T G. H.: In massaging the wrinkles around the mouth what sort of a series of movements would you advise? Massage in a rotary manner, letting the lingers travel round and round. Do not go in the lines of the wrinkles, but across them, as if you were rubbing rub-bing the creases and wrinkles out of a piece of paper. Mrs. O.: What can I do for a double chin? All my fat seems to go to my face. For a double chin massage under the chin with the palm of the hand, stroking strok-ing it gently. Do r.ot use a skin food for this sort of massage, but stroke the skin dry. a. B. V.: I am dieting, and with the best results. I vhave reduced my weight marvelously, and I think it will come down still more. Let me thank you again 5id again. I want to ask you if there is any such a thing as exercising too much? I now walk ten miles ' a day, and feel as If I could walk more. !' T should say that there is no such thing as walking too much, providing you feel well. Probably the exercise has reduced you as well as the dieting. i- a Miss G.: Where can I study a complete com-plete system of physical culture exercises exer-cises and movements for the reduction and development of the figure? Such exercises are frequently given in this column. You cannot do better than study them right in this newspaper. news-paper. . In writing to this department do not enclose money. The advice is free. You need not be a subscriber to the paper. All who read this column are welcome to make inquiries. Home Cures. ' Ulcerated Sore Throat. Mopping the throat with equal parts of listerine and glycerin will usually effect a cure. Cough. Make a strong tea of hops, swe-eten well with sugar and add lemon juice-sufficient to make it quite sharp to the taste. Take frequently a little at a time. Hair Tonic. Take one dram of sulphate sul-phate cf quinine, one-half ounce . of tincture of cantharides, one our.ee of spirit of rosemary, one ounce of glycerin glycer-in and enough pay rum to make one pint. Thiti preparation should be applied ap-plied once a day, rubbed into the scalp very thoroughly. Constipation. In infants this trouble may often be overcome by administering administer-ing powdered magnesia in the moyv?r's i milk, the dose varying with the age of the child and the condition of the bow- els. . For a child 1 year old a tcaspoon-ful tcaspoon-ful of sweet -oil often gives better re- suits than does castor oil. j Cold in the Head. As soon as symp-! symp-! toms of a cold are felt in the head put !a teaspoonful of sugar in a tumbler, add to it seven drops of camphor, mix thoroughly; rill the glass half full of coid water and stir until the sugar is dissolved. The dose is two teaspoon-fuls teaspoon-fuls every twenty minutes. This is an excellent remedy if used at the beginning begin-ning of the cold. Sure Cure for Tape Worm. Scald one pint of pumpkin seeds: Reel off the outside out-side shell and pound up the kernels with enough sugar to make them palatable. This should be taken in three doses; the first in the morning, the second at noon, and the third just before going to bed. Nothing else should be eaten through the day. After each dose of the seed take a large tablespoonful of castor oil. Pain in Lungs. A sharp pain in the lungs or side can be driven away by applying vaseline and mustard in the proportion- of two parts vaseline and one part mtraLard. Rub it together and spread on a piece of linen as you would an ordinary paste. .. This is also excellent excel-lent for a severe pain in the back of the neck and has been used with gobd results for breaking up the grip. Burns or Scalds. Burns or scalds, if superficial, are best treated by a strong solution of baking soda. If daep, and the whole skin is involved, care should be taken to bring nothing against the wound which is not surgically clean. Strong antiseptics on the raw flesh should not be used. Boric acid and lis-terine lis-terine may be used freely without harm. Having cleansed the part, it should be protected from the air. Pleurisy in Child A healing poultice for pressure in breathing or for pleurisy pleuri-sy pains is made of onions, boiled with pork until half dona, then mashed or chopped and applied hot. This was or-jdered or-jdered for an incipient case of pneumonia pneumo-nia in a child, and was the only remedy tried for some hours. It was made to line a jacket next to the skin, and was renewed before it got cool. The remedial remed-ial effects of the mixture of heat, grease and onions are remarkable. Sprains of the Wrist or Ankle. As soon as possible after the accident get a muslin bandage one or two yards long, and two or three inches wide; wet in cold water and roll it smoothly and firmly around the injured part. Keep the limb at rest and continually damp with cold water. The sooner after aft-er the accident the bandage is applied the less pain and swelling there will be; but if pains become Excessive, cara must be taken to slightly loosen the bandages. Sweating Feet. Apply boric acid thoroughly to the feet, especially about the toes and between them, and to the soles two or three times a week, or oftener if needed, dressing them while there is o good coating of powder on the skin. This is easy to apply and the sweating will be relieved. Corns, bunions bun-ions and almost all troubles of the feet may be avoided if the feet are washed every night, rubbing them to be sure all the perspiration and dead skin are washed off, so that there is nothing to form the callous places. |
