If one has embroidered and monogram- ed towels that are becoming thread- bare, instead of discarding them, hey can be "remadeled'-- if the embroidery is in good condition.

"They all now fain would be slim" Corsets Were Worn Ages Ago laments Terence, (botn about 183 B.C.,) in" one of his comedies: "and neither hips nor breasts have the women, for they are wrapt up in lin- en from head to heel. Three grapes and a glass of water is gll their nour- ishmerit. And if there really hap- pens to come along a lusty female figure then the chorus of women will immediately shriek: 'Lo, the huge woman! she looks like an athlete. And a body she has as an elephant calf. She'll one day wrestle in the ar- ena, the fat bug." NI These corsets often reached from the shoulders down to the thighs. We therefore see how near they came to! the modern corset. These corsets, though by no means cheap; were not durable, and had to be renewed often. However, they siirely attained their object of ren- dering thin. For excessively stout women the bust corsets were, how- ever, still too soft, and we read of a consul's wife who had herself in- caged in a framework of soft willow twigs, which she wore with silent The The edge may be concealed by a sow of chain, feather, or button hole, etitching. By this method you can bave a new towel with a monogram --without embroidering the letters. Usually towels wear thin in the centre; the other end, opposite the monogram, can be used for washing cloths, by cutting out the hest sec- tions and hemming, Embroidered centrepieces can also be "made over", if the embroidery is near the edge and the worn place in the centre.

Also the girl who is careful of her fomplexion should be quite sute that no soap remains on her skin. After washing with soap she should rinse all over with clear, fresh water. Then a brisk, thorough ; drying should take place with roarse bath towel if possible. A dry, rough bath towel is far better for thorough drying than the ordinary face towel which absorbs the water but does not take the moisture from the skin. If the girl is going out immediate- 'y after washing, a little pure alive il should be rubbed into the face ind a little camphorated ice into the hands.

Although no longer serving as a means of losing flesh, the ladies still used them as bras- series for the support of the bodily forms.

Turn on the wrong side, cut away the worn place, and turn un- der and sew the edge. After this is finshed, sew on the right side a flat narrow braid to cover the stit- ching, or use a row of chain stitch.

Also there are huge pop- pies of velvet -- red ones with black hearts, black ones with yellow hearts and some wholly of golden brown or French blue. They make stunning corsages for a black or a white gown. To Preserve Beauty, Guard Skin And Face over with powder. At night, after the face has been washed in warm water, the girl should rub in soma good cold cream and then remove it with absorbent "cotton. This will not only remove all the dirt of the day, but it will also leave the face soft and smooth for the night. Another point for the girl who is anxious to avoid a chapped face is to tabboo veils, unless they are of wide mesh. If they are closely wov- en the moisture from the breath will cling, wetting the veil, which in turn will chap all thé skin around the mouth and nose. More girls are troubled with chap- ped hands perhaps than with chap- ped faces. Very few persons stop to dry each fiinger thoroughly after washing, perhaps because the hands are washed so often through the day that it seems as if too much time were wasted in drying thoroughly each time. drying can quickly become a habit, wind a little of the oil sirould be rub- bed into the face and then dusted | ceedingly attractive, but old-fashion-: ad.
