Explain th Formation of
Scar and How to
Car Them
Little Leaf leaned o'er the Lake,
Eyes full of scorning;
Quoth the Laf to Mother Tree,
"I cm sick as sick can be
Of this robe you gave to me
For my adorning; ,
I would fain be better tlressed,
And not look like all the rest."
"Little Leaf," cried Mother Tree,
(Heart full of sorrow),
"You are all too young and fair
For such worldly things to care;
And my child, beware, beware,
Frost comes tomorrow;
Hide your face against my heart,
Let me shield you from his dart."
Little Leaf tossed up her head,
Mother Love grieving.
Frost came by and boldly said,
"I will give you robes of red;
After that we will be wed."
Vain Lenf, believing,
Kissed him for a scarlet gown.
In the dust he cast her down. .

other of trifling Importance will leave a

The tissues grow by a continual proee

If the wound does not heal clean, that

It will be a long time before the acar dls

quickening of the circulation In the tiny
capltlartea that feed the akin by hot ap
plication followed by a maaaage with a
good akin food or maaaage cream.
As a rule t am not fond of hot appli
cations on the face. I thin they dry
the akin and Induce wrinkles, but In auch
esse they are neceaaary. A akin Inclines
to ache or pimples so saver as to leave
scars la apt to be an oily skin, not In
clined to wrinkle. So the hot water will
not harm It and may he beneficial.
Begin operations by washing the face
or cleaning It with a cieanaing cream.
Fold square of Turkish towel, dtp these
In hot water and apply to the race,
changing as they lose their heat. After
six applications, gently pat the face dry
and then maasage It, using a good ma
sage cream.
Do thla before going to bed and In the
morning bathe the face with very eo'd

The Unattractive Girl
B BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Since the world began Duels and sages
have been trying to define charm. And
they have In seeking to pin It down and
describe it forgotten that In Its very
eluaiveness lies charm's charm.
If It were possible to formulate a set
of rules by the following of which each of
us might become altogether lovely, alto
gefher desirable and all in all magnetic
and charming, charma would cease to
have any attractions. If every day were
exactly live every other 'day even though
they all were beautiful and balmy, none
of them would seem pleaaant after w
had at customed ourselves to the dteary
round of the carles.
And by the same token, if all women
had charm, charm would decline and the
means would defeat the end.
But that Is cold comfort for the girl
who Is not attractive and longs to be.
Every natural woman has the desire for
conquest.
A girl may have a superb figure, flash
ing eyes, tho skin of a healthy baby and
the chin of a true Parialenne and yet be
passed ty for a dowdy little aplder of a
woman who happens to appeal to mss-

She' played absolutely fair with the
boya aha knew. If ahe made an engage
ment she kept it, and she demanded the
ssme courtesy. She always was ready to
listen to explanations of offenses, but she
did not permit her friends to neglect her
wantonly when they happened to choose.
And that thin, short., dark, unattractive
looking girl, with nothing to recommend

Interesting and ever-Interested brown

Intelligence not to play it. Any girl with
brains, common sense and a certain

charm of gracious and lovesble womanhood.

You are far .too mercenary. If ever
thla young man aaka you to marry him
you are free to discuss his Income and
to decide whether or no you can live on
It. In the . meantime, if you object to
hla profession and to the fact that he
spends no money on you, discontinue
your friendship. lie seems In far more
danger of being misled by a pretty girl
who values money above manhood than
you are of giving your affectiona disinterestedly.

Houusehold Hints
If too much salt has been added to
aoup slice a raw potato and boll It In
the coup for a few minutes. The po
tato will absorb much ot the salt.
If when making soup or beef-tea for
an Invalid It la necessary to cool it at
onos, pass It through a clean cloth sat
urated with cold water. Not a particle
Of fat will be left in the beef-tea.
To remove labela from bottles wet the
label with water and hold It over a flame
a second or two. The steam quickly
penetrate the label and softens the gum
or pasta.
Before applying blacklead make a pad
of old cloth and rub soot from the back
of the grate or flues on all the greasy
part a Thla will remove the grease and
will give a brilliant polish to the stove.
Used in water as a dally gargle, borax

for cleansing the teeth It disinfects them
and prevents their decaying.
To remove paper labels from old bottles
easily, wet the face of the label with
water and bold It for an Instant over any
convenient ' flame. The steam formed
penetrates the label at once and softens
the paste.

SATmicm FAxmrAx
He Use Not Fair la Vee.
Dear Miss Fairfax: A number of years
ago I kept company with a young man.
On account of sums talk, of wbUh not a
word wua true, he gave me up. When
I aaked him to explain he aaid he would
never mention it and I should try to for-
f; lilm. I loved him dearly and tried
lard to forget, but could not. Long after
we parted 1 heard from a frlmid what
th reaaon waa. I waa very much sur
prised snd could not blame him. My
pride had the best of me; otherwise I
would have brought up the subject. Hs
has no Idea 1 iov him still, as I'm
very diatsnt when we meet, which is
rarely. He la a widower now, and sum-
times I think he must think of me, as
there Is not a day thal.iny thought are
not of him. KITTY.
Whatevtr thla man heard agalnat you
jeara ago. It was his duty aa a friend
and as a gentleman to give you a chance
to t yourself right. If you really feel
that hla opinion matter to you, write
him a dignified little letter and tell him
that yon have jut heard what It was
that gave him auch a wrong tmpreaston
of you snd that for the sake of your old
friendship you cannot reatet the chance
to try to put it rlgnt.
