It has been found that ordinary merogolized wax, applied like cold cream at night, causes the thin veil of lifeless, sallow or blemished cuticle to flake off in almost invisible particles, revealing the fresh. vigorous and beautiful young akin underneath. The process defies detection. For this purpose thousands of women are now using mercolized wax, obtaining it at the drug store in original one-ounce package. Naturally this method a blemishes as freckles, pimples, liver spots, moth patches, etc. It certainly makes the face look years younger.

INDIAN "FLAPPER" BETROTHAL DANCE The modern "society" flapper, with party has nothing on the American Indian maiden, whose marriage-announcement party bar been among the tribal customs from time immemorial. Among the Washoe Indians of Nevada there is a dance or ceremony known as "The girl's dance," in konor of the young girl who becomes eligible: for marriage. Her white cousin," however, would hardly care to be the star of such a feast, for the guest of honor is allowed to eat nothing at all for four days previous. On the fourth night the dance starts, at about eight o'clock and continues until sunrise the following morning. The Indians form a circle, joining hands, and move by short side-steps in a ring, humming a sort of chant without words or meaning. The girl, accompanied by an elder woman as a sort of chaperone, and carrying a long staff to support her because of the weakness induced by her long fast. weaves in and out of the dance, joining in the step. As the dance praceeds late into the 'night the girl's family give money and other possessions to the dancers to keep them moving and to induce others to join in. The greater the number of dancers the |ETeater the popularity of the family. {Shortly after midnight a feast is given by the girl's relatives, and all participate. ) The ceremony closes at sunrise when the girl is taken to her tepes and attired in bunches of sage-brush in which money is concealed. Sha appears before the assembled dan- cers outside and throws the money. to them, amid a wild scramble. A can of water is then dashed over her head as the concluding ceremony, after which she is ready to receive a proposal of marriage. é What to Do. Tiny holes in the hot water bag can be mended with adhesive tape. Add a little baking soda to a flax- seed poultice to make it lghter. Grated carrots, instead of diced, give a pretty color to the vegetable soup. Baked potatoes are better if hrush- ed with butter before putting into the oven. French toast is delicious sprink- led with maple sugar instead of the customary granulated variety. ---------------------- One part of knowledge consists in being ignorant of such things as are not worthy to be known. it I'll never get it.--New Haven Re- glater.

There is no doubt about it, a cosy porch is a more restful spot than one which is not prettily furnished | and decorated.

The bridesmaid carried mauve and rink flowers. The groomsman was B. J. MacBeth, Toronto, and the ushers were Charles Mundell and Jack McKelvey. As -the music of Mendelssohn's Wedding March pealed forth from the organ, the bridal party emerged from the vestry and drove to the {home of the bride's parents on Bagot street, where the newly-made hus- band and wife received the congra- tulations and good wishes of their {friends. The rooms were lovely with mauve and pink flowers and ferns, and the siiver basket and small sil- ver vases, which decked the table from which buffet refreshments were served, were filled with sweet peas and stocks in the same tints. The bride's table, centred with the wed- ding cake crowned with mauve and pink sweet pegs and eet in mauve tulle, was charmingly effective. Mrs. Stewart, the mother of the bride wore a handsome gown of navy canton crepe, heavily beaded, a black hat and a corsage bouquet of spring flowers.

If so, set the colors by adding to each gallon of water used one-half cup of vinegar, ome cup of table salt, and one table- spoon of alum; soak the material in this solution for several hours, then hang in the shade, to dry, without wringing. Now wash the goods, as usual, in suds from a mild white soap and lukewarm water. Then stiffen the material, to restore its original "body," .as follows: Boil two pounds of rice in two gallons of water until soft; let stand till luke- warm, and put the fabric in this, rubbing the rice over it as if it were soap. Have ready a second lot of cooked rice and strain the .rice out of this liquid; rinse the cretonne in the strained liquid, wring gently js with the hands, and again hang in the shade, until almost dry.
