i Doing First Things First.
There are nono of us who onjoy do
ing hard things very often; but in all
housekeeping thorp Is much that is
hard and somo things unpleasant.
A good rule to follow In doing our
work Is to do tho hard tasks first, as
Wo used to do Jn childhood, with tho
good things, save tho choico bit for
tho last ob wo would say: "Tho last
tho best of all tho gamo."
If ono makes it a practise to do tho
hard task first Wo do away with tho
long period of dreading, which is
worse than getting right at It.
Without a definite planning to do
tho dimcult work first, It Is tho most
tjatural thing In tho world to choose
tjho thing easier or most enjoyable
With a chango tho revision would
tpnko in our lives, tho hard work
would bo moro often bohlnd us, fin
ished and ilono away with, and we,
freo to onjoy much along tho way that
wpuld otherwise bo crowded out, be
cause of tho work ahead.

SCENTS FOR USE IN BATH
8lmple Mixtures That Will Give Com
fort When One Comes In
Tired and Warm.
Nothing is so Invigorating when
tired nnd warm as a scented bath ot
hot water. In summer duys It provos
particularly refreshing when taken bo
foro dressing tor tho evening.
Tho simplest of theso baths Is mado
by adding cologne, tollot water or vio
let ammonia to tho bath water.
A good aromatic mixture to keop on
hund Is made from two ounces ot
tincture of camphor, four ounces of
cologno and an ounce ot tlncturo of
benzoin. Add enough of this to the
bath wator to make it milky.
If you' aro presented with colognes
or toilet waters that aro not espe
cially fragrant, use them In the bath.
Tho Bcent Is so faint as not to be
disagreeable, and tho refreshing quali
ties are as great as from more expen
sive colognes.
Another refreshing bath 1b mado by
squoezlng tho Altered Juice of four
lemons Into a quartor ot a tubful of
water.
Whore tho aromatic bath seems ex
travagant, or thero Is no tlmo for it,
put a solution ot tho nilxtUre 'given
above Into a spray and Kpray It over
face, neck and arms.
Putting cologno back ot the ears, on
tho tomplos and on upper Hp Is ex
tremely restful and cooling.
The Lilac Popular.
In tho search for aigrette effects tho
lilac, with Its bristling panicles, has
become ono ot tho millinery favorites.
Instead ot the normal purple or whlto,
ono finds It grpon, crimson, yellow,
blue any color at all that tho milliner
noods tor her scheme. Some ot tho
big straw shapoa with such flowers
and a wisp ot tulle, are among the
most fetching niodols. Tho Indian

with an aigrette at ono sldo continues
