.-by *h!s time you have atrlvcd at the
[ i-oa-lurlon that, to be attractive, an t:n

j At le.°st the temporary effects are very an

' , soul ww "simply disgusted with strum,"
1 and I con fee* she was a fright. She had
' overdone the. thing, or her skin was very

' of not allowing water to touch her face.
This is all nonsense. Any one Interested In
preserving the complexion would soon find
! out the error of this method. Many fair
ones follow the !-a.l cf the harem beauty.,
and after the morning batn. If the skin
' needs cleaning, they use a little almond

A new make Of woolen canvas Is to be haa
with silk brocade of v well covering renais
p.ance pattern, and th;? silk grenadines with
satin stripes uf chine patterns give the promts
of pretty gowns. .Many of the colorings arc
less vivid than they were, and the combinations
are wonderful and tho treatment original. One
of tho newest tones of green Is malachite, a
decided coloring, tor. indeed, we are returning
both ln patterns and tori's to fashions of the
early part of the century. The revivals are
vivid coquellcot, the rich plum violet which of
late we have called eminence and glowing
yellow greens. The diagonal coating serges
are sold In all the new bright colors, and
fancy woolens of all sorts and kinds are so ex*
rnllfnt that a choice is more than usually dif
ficult.

A Good Social Rale).
Always take It for granted that every one
! means well by you, unless you have proof to
the contrary The average person in society
has a good-natured, or at least a cynical, sort
of tolerance and liking for you. Very few
I actually hate you or want to spite you. When
you Dnd out that there is some one who does,
don't dlscusa It or quarrel «bout it if It can
be avnid' i. Just dj-op the person from your
life as completely as possible, and. above all.
j never descend to abuse him or her. It will
hurt you won r than It will your enemy.
I Never tr a ure up a grievance; It will grow
out of all nr portion with nursing.
