The city woman, with time on her hands, will go to a reliable beauty specialist, where she will receive a treatment that will bring back the glow of youth to her cheeks, soften her skin and brighten her eyes. Regu- lar clients of the beauty specialist spend an hour a week in her comfort- able chair, whereas real seekers of beauty are even more frequent pa- tients. But it is possible to keep one's good looks, even if one dwells in the desert, for every one of the beauty special- ist's methods may be followed at home if one will devote just a few moments night and morning to good looks; and a very satisfactory little home course of beauty treatments may be evolved. All that will be necessary in the way of equipment will be two or three pads of absorbent cotton, a good cleansing cream, a skin tonic, which may be nothing more than writch hazel, a skin food, perhaps also a vanishing cream and the patter, of which more, shortly. At night, just before going to bed, the face should l)e cleansed carefully with a pad of cotton dipped in diluted witch hazel, then into the cleansing cream, following the motions adopted by the beauty specialist.

We're not nearly interested enough in each other for one thing. We don't gossip to ex- cess. Everyone goe^ his or her own way. In books people do things or are suspected of doing things, nnd are immediately cut by a feveri.shly inter- ested neighborhood. I can't imagine that happening in Priorsford. No one ever does anything very striking, but if they did I'm sure they wouldn't be ostracized. Nobody would care much, except perhaps Mrs. Hope, and she would only be amused." "Mrs. Hope?"

You will tell me what you think of them when you meet them. All these people I've been tell- ing you about are rich people, 'in a large way,' as Priorsford calls it. They have all large motor cars and hot houses and rich things like that. Mrs. M'Cosh says Priorsford is a 'real tone-y wee place,' and we do fancy ourselves a good deal. It's a commun- ity largely made up of women and middle-aged retired men. You see, there is nothing for the young men KEEPING CURED MEAT. When hams, shoulders, or other pieces are tiikci out of the brine and dried, .sew each piece in a taut cover- ing of chvespcloth, and brush it all over with melted paraffin.

For the boy who has outgrown blocks or for the convalescent, there is probably nothing which will furnish more entertainment than a large pow- erful horseshoe magnet and a box of assorted nails â€" preferably of the smaller sizes. With the nails may be built swings with tack children swinging In them, and trapezes for the most exacting acrobats. On the top may be built an Indian wigwam with weather vane ! atop, and a horizontal bar with its crew of acrobatic actors. | Even cats and dogs may be made ! with tack legs and ears, a nail body and a shoc-tack tail.

One boy spins his top in a three- foot ring, runs as far as he dares, sticks a peg In the ground and runs back to pick up the top before it stops spinning. Then In turn each of the other boys spins his top, races to the peg, lifts It and plants it a little far- ther away, and then tries to get back in time to catch his top before it falls.

You will find them the great- ' est possible convenience for many un- j expected purposes. They are much better than a knife for trimming off , the rind of bacon.
