V # MIS. Vjgazettaxxsc, df Helena Ruftnstm Her lips are like two budded roses fVhom ranks of lilies neighbor nigh. —Thomas Lodge. The Modem Mode in Mouths When your mouth begins to lose its mobiHty you are showing an in evitable sign of age. To retain the youth and beauty of your face I beg you then—look to the mobility of the mouth. The lips themselves will not grow old if they are kept soft and pHable through constant lubrication. Either white or pink lip pomade will keep the flesh soft and even, and prevent chapping, as well. The age ing of the mouth, however, shows in line rather than in texture. A loss of elasticity in the muscles of the face is likely’ to develop pockets at the corners of the mouth. There is mistaking this unbeautiful sign no of the years, but, like everything else, it is far easier to prevent than to correct. If no more than the tendency is established, to massage the mouth from the center of the chin upward, using gentle rotary movements with the cushion of the thumb to which rich nourishing cream is applied, will help to correct this condition and prevent it. The parentheses around your mouth—and most women over twenty-five show them — must be counteracted through the same meth ods. The dimple that is bewitching at twenty is far too often a line or a hollow at forty. For the expression lines, the char acter lines which etch themselves around the corners of the mouth, a balsam astringent is an excellent pre- i :n . it caution. The muscles will not sag if they ' are encouraged to firmness by either the lactee or a mild astring ent jelly—this last provided the re laxation is not too noticeable. ' * Last of all we come to making up the mouth. I know of possibly a half dozen women in my whole experience who could not be improved by a little clever touching up of the lips. / Many women, especially the mature type, feel that lip make-up is too arti ficial and too ext^Ctne to become them. I grant you that some makeup is dreadful; but I also contend that it is just as dreadful for sixteen as it would be for sixty. Your mouth should be most carefully rouged. Should you be the woman in the thousand who can “get away with it,” very highly colored lips may be in teresting. If this be your type (and you cannot afford to guess about it; you must know), your cheeks should be pale and vivid lips the one bright spot of contrasting color in your face. The average make-up requires both lipstick and rouge, but these should be sparingly and discreetly applied. In the tiny hallway the corner cup board with open upper shelves or shelves closed in by glass or mirror doors often proves a most convenient and decorative piece. In the space below, which is masked by solid wooden doors, there will be room for umbrellas, rubbers and kin dred unsightly articles. The upper space can be used for more decora tive things—bright bits of pottery; a few curios; a gay little box to hold keys and matches to be caught up at the last moment. Or, if the upper doors be mirrored, the shelves can be used as a repository for the hat and gloves belonging to the man of the house.

Food for Ferns and Plants Once in three or four months, pour a teaspoon ful of castor oil around the roots of ferns and plants and they will grow luxuriantly. An Ironing Hint Iron pillow cases lengthwise instead of crosswise and you will iron the wrinkles out instead of in. Starch will not stick to the iron if you add a little borax or paraffin to the starch when boiling. CHANGING w This is an era of changes. And we relish them to the point of hearty welcome in most instances. Those who do not change once in awhile gradually drift into that lethargic state of mind which we call a rut—and everybody resents that. The same suit of clothes worn for too long a time grows tire some to our neighbors, if not to ourselves, though the garments are by no means worn out. People relish contrasts, especially when tlje change is for the brighter, the newsier, the more at tractive. And this applies to our reading matter, I think, fully as much as to mere physical appearances. So the readers of this paper will notice our abandonment of things and words with the medical tang. Ever alert for the best at his disposal, our editor believes that an inspirational diet will be relished for awhile; he believes, and I agree with him, that the mind should be refreshed as well as the^body; so it is with no little satisfaction that I take up the pleasant duty to which I am assigned. ^ ' There has never been a time when the thinkers of our beloved country have been sought with such positive energy. We are in terested in everything good; the bad forces itself upon us, whether we will or no. “Prove all things; hold fast to that which is good” I don’t know of any better advice than that. % I heartily wish I could hear all of the comments that may be aroused by the things I shall try to say to you, dear friends, during the next year. Maybe some of you will differ with me; and some of my personal friends may even clip out something of mine—and put it in the scrap-book; I shall dream that way, at any rate. And I fully appreciate the honor of taking the place of a beloved writer who Ins lately been called to the higher sphere. May I hope that there is just a little corner somewhere in yoi heart for me to creep into and be happy? your RECEIVED!
