It was not just the time involved but the mental effort to remember to do it when there were so many other things for her to plan and do. When she said she could and would brush them once a day regularly, he said to make that once just before retiring, as then came the. longest period when the teeth were not in use. Farm mothers are limited during the rush season as to time, and it is the everlasting question not what to do but what do we dare leave un- done. This does not change the fact that pretty teeth play a large part in both looks and health. When a mother really takes time to look squarely into the mirror— that is, if she is not saying to herself: "Those beans must be on- by ten—I must mend Ruth's organdie—I won- der if there is enough bread for din- ner," and so forth—the first thing she sees is this head adornment about which the vaun>r ^ en li g-. eemucle controversy as to` whether to bob or not to bob.. Brushing the hair vigor- ously every day, washing it often enough to remove surplus oil and take out the dust, then massaging the scalp a little to keep it free and the blood circulating there, is about the sum total of all the articles on keeping the hair beautiful. Did you ever notice what makes the magazine -cover wo- man look so lovely even in a ging- ham dress? Nine times out of ten it is her hair, left loose enough to frame her face. The only one to wear the hard twisted knot is the lady of the cartoon. We can dress the hair loose- ly and leave it fluffy only by using a generous supply of good hairpins. The celluloid or rubber pins justify their extra cost in both service and appearance. The shade matching the hair is well worth while too. Regular meals, with plenty of green vegetables and fresh fruit the year round, lay the foundation for the good healthy skin. Then the matter of sun- burn, tan, freckles, dryness or oili- ness, is not hard to handle. The lo- tions on the market, the powders and cold creams are worth while. There is a combination now of cold cream and powder that has sprung into popularity among women because of its easy application and good results. Fashions change, money can buy clothes, new styles can be acquired, but when the story of self-neglect is written upon the face and form it is too late to change it. Self-neglect should not be charged to us, for we of the farm are blessed with all that Nature can supply in the way of healthful surroundings.—Lena Mar- tin Smith.

KEEPING THE CHILDREN NEAT, If mothers of email children will arrange a mirror, comb, towel, and so forth, within reach of the little hands, the problem of keeping them neat and clean will be greatly reduced.

He was stooping and moving slowly along a piece of bare brown earth. His back was towards the window. "What is he doing, sir, may I ask?" "Sowing carrots," said Trehorn drily. "Not so bad as we thought, eh?" queried the detective sharply. "Worse than anything you can im- agine," said the doctor contemptuous- ly. "But he's taking it like a man. He's been working in my garden for more than a week now. I want him to get as much air and exercise as possible. -He's simply going on with his job." "I see," said Mr. Kane.

"Besides," Trehorn continued, "you must remember that Mr. Merrington can do nothing to help you." "Will -he ever get back his memory, sir?" "I don't know. It is difficult to say in these cases of partial amnesia. Per- haps he will always lose that slice of his life." "Is that your own opinion, sir?" "It is also Sir Walter's opinion. Sir Walter came down four days ago, and of conversation haunted her for many we talked over the matter." an hour afterwards. It seemed to point to some collusion between her usband and Fletcher. Perhaps it explained why Fletcher had not left her service. "Fletcher had been retained by the prosecution," she said to herself, when the servant had left the room. And the evidence for this was that Flet- cher had told a deliberate lie,' Who had asked Fletcher to tell this lie? "Can nothing be done, sir? Can you doctors do nothing for him?" "Nothing, Mr. Kane, I'm afraid. The case is entirely out of our hands now. Mr. Merrington is quite well and strong again, and he will suffer no i11 effects from the accident."

How the Pompeians Advertised. The Pompeians were past masters in the art of poster advertising, writes Frank G. Carpenter from Naples, where he is gathering material for the Italian volume of his World Travels. Among the discoveries which have been unearthed by Professor Spinaz- zola's new method of excavation, are advertisements painted in every color of the rainbow. There are theatrical posters, posters of politicians, who beg the, people to elect them to the city council, and letters from women advo- cating the choice of their favorites. On the: wall two ladies recommend a certain O. Lollium as Chief of the Pub- lic Buildings and Roads. New paint- ings have been discovered both on the inside and outside of the houses and especially on the walls of the "Street of Abundance," where most of -the work has been done. "The method of excavation," Mr, Carpenter writes, "which Professor Spinazzola has employed for the last ten years is as different from the old way as that of the steam shovel corn - pared with the fingernail. The old method was to go with pick and spade straight down through the earth into a house or street and dig out the 'de- bris, stopping only at the solid walls and paved floors or streets. As it is notit', the ground is carefully surveyed, and then taken off in layers about as thick as a flinger -nail. Impressions are looked for, and when found are model- ed and the parts of the houses which have disappeared. or been burned are reconstructed as they were in the past. Every article, found in a house is left inside that house and it is sometimes possible to reconstruct the furniture and put it back where it stood. In one garden the old fountain is playing as it did in the days of the Caesars and the very same plants which grew there then are being replaced by the aid of botanists of today." .maid's Llnitnsnt for DantirUrk WOMEN!
