PROTECTING THE SKIN.
As wintry winds are hard on the
skin, the face and hands need extra
care and should be protected in every'
way possible. A housewife can "save:
her hands" in many ways, even
though she may own but few of the
modern labor-saving devices. A little
thought, a pair of canvas .gloves (to
wear when doing rough work), a dishl
map and scraper are great aids to pre-'
sentabie hands.
If hard water must be used for
toilet purposes, soften it by means of
borax. Another way is to mix a cup-
ful each of oatmeal and cornmeal, with
one-half cupful of almond meal. Place
in cheesecloth bags (a tablespoonful
in each): and add one of these bags to
a basin of hot water.
C;seams and lotions should be pro
video and used intelligently. As I
have said before, it is impossible to
recommend a soap, lotion, cream or
powder that will suit all skins. Every
woman must try these out for herself:
There are, however, a few toilet pre-
parations which can generally be used.
One of .theseis camphor -ice, a thick
waxy form of cream which is an ex-
cellent protection for the lips in cold
weather. Camphor -ice should be rub-
bed aver the lips before going out of
doors.
There are innumerable uses for
vaseline (petroleum jelly). If the
finger nails become brittle, as they
So often do le cold weather, rub vase -
line well into the nails (especially
around the roots) several times a day
"and the last thing at night. Vaseline
will both darken and strengthen the
eyebrow and eyelashes. It may be
rubbed freely into the eyebrows, but
use sparingly on eyelashes.
Rub badly -stained hands with vase-,
line until it has entered every crevice.
--teethe skin. Rub this off with corn-
ineaI, then wash with warm water
and soap. Every particle of stain or
grime can be removed In this way,
leaving the hands clean and smooth.
Should the ends of the -fingers
crack in cold weather, try a lotion
whe is highly recommended. The
lotion requires two ounces of commer-
cial (32 per cent) acetic acid, two
ounces of witch -hazel and two ounces
of glycerine mixed together. Just be-
fore retiring, wash the hands well
with warm water and soap. Rinse off
all soap, then dry the hands lightly,
and rub the lotion well into the skin.
It will smart when it gets into the
cracks, but the smarting will Iast but
a moment, and the hands will soon be
well and the skin becomes soft and
pliable. Used in the same way, this
lotion will soften the callous spots
which farm on the hands and feet.
HOMEMADE FUN.
When the Ohristmas toys begin to
all, asthey will during the long shut -
days, the wise mother will put them
out of sight and offer a simple home-
made substitute. Many ideas lie ready
to hand.
A. dozen clean rubber rings, from
opened jars of fruit, will provide a
jolly game of ring toss, using any
Convenient hook or peg. If no other

be happy for an hour or two making
illuminated pictures.
Magazine covers or colored adver-
tisements are easily pasted on box
lids or other cards. A few snips of
the scissors and you have a new and
interesting cut-up picture puzzle which
will be a source of happiness for at
least a little while.
A few clean empty cans or cartons,
such as have contained cocoa, baking
powder, breakfast food, and the like,
may be set away on a shelf corner.
These will stock a grocery "store when
thechildren are longing for a new
game. This can be made a means of
instruction as well if the little ones
are old enough for the simple arith-
metic needed in buying and selling.
Other ideas will come when you be-
gin to look for them, and the real toys
will prove all the more fascinating
after a rest.
WINTER SEWING HINTS.
Winter is "stock taking" time for
both merchant and home -maker. The
latter carefully examines her store of
household "linens and the family sup-
pIy of underwear and every -day cloth-
ing, repairs or remodels the garments
on hand and carefully makes lists of
the new things which will be required.
Meantime, the merchant is trying to
dispose of odd lots, broken sizes and
short lengths, so a trip to town at this
time.. may prove very profitable, for
there are many reductions in price. In
making out the list of needfuls, rem
ember the notions and findings .;which
will- be needed. Buy muslin, long -
cloth or cambric by the piece, as it
cuts to better advantage. One can also
economize by making several aprons
or rompers or a -set of shirts from one
material. Ghoofe material in fast
colorsfor garments which must be
laundered' often. Avoid flimsy ' laces
and trimmings. For the same price
per yard, one can •find laces which are
both dainty and durable. Tatting,
crocheted and knitted laces"` make
popular and pretty trimmings.
A "NEWLYWED" PARTY.
Write your invitations on corres-
pondence cards, at the top of which
paste the heart stickers used for St.
Valentine's Day. The invitations
might read thus:
Mrs. John Blank requests the plea-
sure of Mrs. James Jones's presence
At a Husbands and Wives Enters
tainment (date here)
Please bring your matrimonial
exhibit with you.
The "exhibit" naturally is under-
stood to be the "inferior: halt." Tack
up here and there "rules and regula-
tions." Make these something like:
"If exhibits are unruly bring them in
by the rear entrance" or, "Exhiibtors
must be prepared to take their ex-
hibits with them when leaving."
Make up separate lists of questions,
for husbands and wives, fold papers
over, distribute and have guests write
answers on the back of the folded pa-
pers without having read the ques-
tions. Questions might be something
like this:
"Does your husband keep his tem-
per during the housecleaning season?"
"Does your husband object to eating
hash?" "Does your ),vife make you
help with the dishes?" "Do you al-
ways like your wife's new hats?" Col-
lect papers and appoint a reader.
For an amusing contest ask the men
to describe their wives' wedding gowns
and ask each woman to describe her
experiences in learning to cook the
dishes "his mother used to make."
.Serve simple refreshments.

Flat palms often prevent an enthusi
astic pupil from; ever becoming a pro-
ficient 'pianist. Arched palms, on the.
other hand, are extremely helpful in ..
mastering 'difficult' passages. pro-
nounced filbert finger tips are not ideal
for the pianist, despite the poetio ex-
altation ' of them. Those subtle
ohanges of tone which make pianoforte•
solos so delightful are drawn from the
instrument by finger tips which .are.
moderately domed. ,-
The ideal hands for the violinist dif:
tfer from those of the pianist; Instead
of the wide span • between first finger •
and thumb,there should be ratheran.
abnorinal distance' between the third
and little fingers. Width in this di-
rection is also necessary far playing

An apparatus has been devised that.
allows the accurate measurement of

ters a certain speed, the examiner fires
the first pistol. At this's'ignal the per-
