To Get Rid of Ugly Wrinkles
That wrinkle are bound to come, i
even on the fairest face, ) not alto
gether so, for with care these tell
tale furrows can be prevented from
making their appearance if you will
take proper pains. There are, how
ever, many women who do not. know
how to ward off the evil, and to them
the following advice is recommended:
Women suppose that crow's feet
are the most important sign of age,
as far as wrinkles go, and so long as
they have not these they imagine that
they can hide their years.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. At the base of the ear by the
time you are 31 a little line will make
its appearanceXEvery ten years after
that another, little tally wilt be
marked there by the . hand of time.
Take good care then when smoothing
your visage by massage that this little
corner will not be neglected,, or, -despite
all the rest, your secret will be
betrayed. " ,
American women particularly nave
a tendency very early in life to show
lines about the mouth, which are not
only a disfiguremeut at all times, but
often become so accentuated by fa
tigue or illness as to completely alter
the expression of the face. Most
readers of these lines would probably
resenthe accusation that in the case
of American women these lines are
due largely to the pernicious habit of
chewing gum. If you do not chew
gum, however, you surely indulge
occasionally in caramels or bonbons
of a like nature which require an un
usual amount of effort in mastication.
It is impossible to eat these things
without making faces, and frequent
facial distortion is sure to leave its
mark.
Another reason for the furrows
around an American woman's mouth
is her nervous temperament and the
consequent volubility of her speech.
Actors and public speakers invariably
have these wrinkles in the vicinity of
the mouth as an inevitable outcome
of the extra effort which the pur
suance of their careers bring to bear
upon the facial muscles in that region.
No beneficial effect can be accom
plished without the abolition of the
harmful cause. If you will avoid do
ing the things which are detrimental
to the beauty of the lower part of the
face, such as making faces when you
talk, you can, by tjie aid of careful
and persistent massage with astring
ent lotions, smooth away the evil
marks. - ...
Apropos of (.stringent lotions, it
should be borne in mind that in all
treatments of the face three things
ire absolutely necessary: First, the
thorough cleaning of the epiderm;
secondly, the softening of the tissues,
and while they are in this state the
moulding takes place through mas
sage and the application of bandages,
and finally, friction with astringent
preparations, which cause the parts
under treatment to become fixed in
the desired' cdntour.
Next to the ugly mouthlines. noth
ing gives the face a more unpleasant
expression than a trown. Now, a
frown generally implies an unpleasant
temper; as a matter of fact, it may be
only the result of a nervousness, or
worry, or pain, but the world takes
little account of these last named
causes. :.
For the wrinkles in the forehead
above the brows, in addition to the
treatment by massage, a bandage
should be worn. Qwing, however,
to the conformation of the face and
the impossibility of binding the space
between the eyes without also cover
ing the visual organs, the only really
convenient cure for frown wrinkles is
massage. Incidentally, the friction ap
plied to these parts with emollient
creams will bring relief to the sufferer
from a cold in the head or a catarrhal
affection of the nasal organs.
And now we come to the terrible
crow's feet and another "don't." If
you woud avoid crow's feet before
their time don't be forever winking.
Also do not sleep with a light in your
room. Unfortunately, if you live in
the city certain amount of light is
bound to filter through your room
from the street if you sleep as you
should., with your windows open.
That you cannot avoid, but what
you can and must avoid is lacing the
iight while you sleep.' Unconsciously
you will make an effort to shut out
the light by closing your eyelids
tighter in sleep than you otherwise
would, and the result of this effort
will be crow's feet.
Massage for the crow's feet should
be, applied in a rotary motion with
the thumbs, beginning the circle with
a light downward movement and
bearing on the upper curve.
In addition to the lines about the
mouth, i which run from the nose to
the lip, there are others which go
from lip to chin, and from the de
marcation between the point of the
jaw and the cheek. , When these tines
exist they are due to superfluity of
flesh in the lower part of the face and
can be effaced by working the flabby
muscles back into their proper pace,
or by reducing the superfluity of tis

The hours of ordinary clock time are shown running from left to right at the
top of this diagram, which is divided into twenty-four parallel hour spaces, v At
the bottom of these hour spaces is shown the result of the daylight saving scheme.
The figure above shows how the hour will be theoretically saved by moving ahead

. By GARRETT P. SERVISS. (
Herewith is a diagram prepared in,
England which shows at a glance the
practical application of the much
talked of "daylight saving" plan,
which has, or is to have, the sanction
of law in Germany, England and
some other European countries and
which some people think ought to be
introduced here.
Judging from remarks that I have
heard it would seem that there are
persons who really suppose that an
act of the legislature can change the
course of the sun in the heavens or,
more correctly speaking, the conse
quences of the rotation of the earth
and of the inclination of its axis. But,
before discussing that, let us see what
the diagram tells us.
It must be remembered that it was
drawn to show the situation in Eng
land, and that London lies nearly
eleven degrees north of New York.
At New York the longest summer day
is about fourteen hours and fifty
five minutes; at London it is about
sixteen hours and twenty-four min
utes. On the diagram a summer average
has been struck, the hours of day
light being represented by white and
lightly shaded spaces covering fifteen
and one-half hours, and those of dark
nest by more deeply shaded spaces
covering eight and one-half hours.
Nine working hours are represented
between the heavy sloping lines. The
figure of a clocV face, below, shows
how the new law, in effect on May 21,
causes (apparently) the loss of an
hour by making the clock read noon
when it is only 11 a. m. by mean sun
time, and 1 p. m. when it is noon by
the sun. t
At long ss the new setting of the
clock continues clock noon will re
main an hour ahead of real noon.
Along the bottom of the diagram
the hours have been arranged ac
cording to the new schedule, and
along the top according to the old,
or true, time. By running the eye
along the vertical lines from the bot
tom to top the effect as regards the
hours of rising in the morning is seen.
Take, for instance, the heavy line on
the left showing the sunrise; by the
new clock time it is 5 a. m., but the
true time shown at the top of the line,
is 4 a. m.
Of course the sun has not been
having a morning nap. It rises at
the same absolute time as before, and
the man who has been in the habit
of getting up, by the clock, at 5 a. m.
(an hour after sunrise), will continue
to get up at S. a.'m., but, since the
clock has been set ahead, the sun wilt
now rise at the same time the man
does. In other words he deliberately
sets the clock to fool himself into get
ting out of bed at sunrise instead of
when the eun Is an hour high. He
abrogates his own will,, and becomes
a slave to a lying clock.
Take a broad view of the chart, it
will be seen that the general effect of
the change is to shift the working

hours back toward the time of sun
rise, or eastward across the meridian.
This increases proportionally the
afternoon hours of leisure. But pre
cisely the same effect would be ob
tained without any falsification or
self-fooling by simply rising an hour
earlier, or beginning work an hour
earlier, and then quitting work and
going to, bed an hour sooner. !'
You remain awake or you work
the same number of hours in either
case. Our clocks fool us enough by
their caprices as it is; why, then, add
a systematic deception to their indi
cations? It ita sop to humarr-stupid-ity.
It is an attempt to make a ma
chine rule the day when the only pos
sible real ruler is the sun.
Calling 11 o'clock noon does not
make it noon; only the arrival of the
sun on the meridian can bring noon.
And that fact reveals a weakness of
the new scheme which is well worth
considering. It is everywhere cus
tomary to stop work for an bur at
high noon, and that for reasons which
need not be pointed out But if we
go by a clock which saysll o'clock
is noon, we will quit work an hour be
fore the sun has culminated and re
sume work at precisely the moment
when its rays are poured down most
effectively. -
And if, to counterbalance this, we
decide to make the hour of quitting
work 1 p. m. by the clock, then we
reintroduce into the new system the
yery thing It was invented to avoid,
viz,: s change in the habitual clock
hours or beginning or quitting of
work. Would it be any easier to ao
custom oneself to keep on working
until 1 o'clock p. m., by the clock, be
fore stopping for the noon rest, than
to begin working say at 6 a. m. in
stead of 7 a. m.?
Of course, as everybody knows,
even our present clock time is not
absolutely true to the' real suntime.
Owing to causes which cannot be dis
cussed here, no clock can be mad.e to
precisely follow the sun.
For that reason a "mean sun" has
been invented which keeps the aver
age steps of the real sun. But ttie
departures are usually slight and
never exceed, at the maximum, more
than about fifteen minutes, while at
certain times there is no difference
between mean sun and real sun time.
The the system of standard meridian
times, especially useful for railroad
fiurposes, falsifies the record more or
ess, but this has now become fixed
and causes no great inconvenience,
because in longitudes where i the de
parture of standard time from local
time is conveniently wide, clocks in
shops can be regulated to local mean
time. .
But the "daylight saving" scheme
introduces a new and unnecessary
complication into what is already a
very intricate subject and its-adoption
here would emphasize the asser
tion of the poet (slightly amended):
Thta world la all a (letting allow. a
For man'a illusion given; t

Things Worth Knowing
If a gloss is desired on linen, add a
teaspoonful of salt to the starch when
making. ' , '
, To remove obstinate stains from
hardwood floors rub tRem with a
cloth wet with turpentine.
Whgn beating the whites of eggs
be careful that there is no grease on
the beater, as it will prevent the -eggs
from frothing. ...
Cleatvmotner-of-pearl articles that
have become dull and blurred with
pure olive oil, then applying' ordi
nary nail brush and rubbing with a
chamois.
If bamboo furniture has a tendency
to crack rub it over with a polish
made of equal parts of spirits of
turpentine and linseed oil, using a
soft rag.
The simplest way to clean jewelry
is to dip it in a' suds of castile soap.
It should. then be rinsed in diluted al
cohol with a few drops of ammonia
added. It will look bright as new.
When canning boiling hot fruit
drop a silver knife in the jar, and
thus effectually prevent breaking.
Take the knife out when the jar
is nearly full, fill up, and seal as
usual. , . ,
Table linen that has been stained
with egg should never be placed in
boiling water, s it has the effect of
setting the stain arid making it al
most permanent. The best method is
to soak the cloth in cold water, which
will make it perfectly easy to remove
the stain before sending to the wash.
The ' walls of cupboards and
pantries are often damp or wet on
sultry days without apparent reason,
when other sections of the kitchen
wall will be comparatively dry. The
best device for any' wall that Is in
clined to dampness is to make it im
pervious to moisture by applying a
varnish of one part shellac and two
parts naphtha. ,
A delicious duchess soup isvmade
from this formula obtained from a
Boston cooking teacher: Cook two
slices each of carrot and onion in a
tablespoonful ' of butter until the
onion yellows. Then turn in a quart
of white stock and a blade of mace
and cook a quarter of an hour. Strain
the soup and add two cupfuls of
milk and thicken with two table
spoonfuls each of butter and flour
blended together. Season with salt
and pepper, and stir in at the last
four rounded tabtespoonfuls of
grated cheese. Cook a couple of
minutes and send to the table.

The Little Old
Woman at the Big,
New Convention
By ADA PATTERSON.
She was small and stooped and her
hair was white as a drift of new fallen
snow. - The blue ribbon with
silver-letter-spelled word "Delegate"
looked strange on that narrow, black
clad breast at first. But only at
first. It was the spirit of the bietf
nial convention ofthe General Fed
eration of Women's Clubs to be in
terested in everything and surprised
at nothing.
I learned that that blue ribbon was
not a jest, nor a mistake. It was the
little old woman's badge of honor.
She was a delegate to the convention.
The club in a village far from the
metropolis had canvassed its talent
and had decided that she was the
wisest woman among them. They
concluded that being the wisest she
would gather more wisdom in the
world's capital and bring back more
of it than would some younger and
more foolish woman.
I am sure they were right. Every
day when I dropped in to hear some
distinguished speaker or gather in
spiration irom that assemblage of
15,000. women, I looked for the little
woman with the white hair and the
big, blue badge. She was always
there, her delicate face, seamed with
the marks of time, turned toward the
platform. She was like a withering
flower drinking the long-delayed dew.
She was a human flower and her
thirst was for knowledge knowledge
not of the world of her bygone youth,
but the world of today with its new
problems, its new needs, its new solu
tions. '
The sun shone, too, upon the
withering flower. Younger women of
the convention"- stopped beside her.
A glance at the badtre on the breast
was an introduction at the convention.
They asked her what she thought of
the governor's address and listened
with smiling attention while she said
that it would reconcile her to the
navy taxes at home if she knew the
rise in them was due to measures for
the public health. They timed their
quick, vigorous steps to her slower
ones on their way to the officers' mess
room that had been changed into a
tea and lunch room for the conven
tion at the armory. A neighbor,
watching her with soft eyes, as she
took notes in her unsteady hand, of a
lecture on "The Americanization of
the Immigrant," whispered:
"Won't you rest your note book on
this book? I shan t need it."
A determined looking young
woman in a green silk dress, whisked
her into a cab while the little woman
hesitated, wistfully clutching her thin
little purse, and said: ,
"To the Metropolitan Museum of
Art.' I must have an intelligent per
son with me while I look at the pic
tures." .
The convention was teaching these
younger delegates not merely the
sisterhood of woman, but the daugh
terhood of women. .
For the little woman in the black
suit the heav,ens were opened the
heavens of a new intellectual domain.
The old horizon had given way to s
wider. She had done well her work.
She had been a good wife, a good
mother, a good housekeeper. And
now that her life's companion had
preceded her beyond the sunset, that
her children had married and moved
away and were represented to her for
the most part by letters, since she
had sold the old house and was liv
ing in a cottage down the street, she
had felt lonely and useless. But she
would never again feel lonely and use
less. She would be companioned,
though alone, by these women who
in their home towns were carrying
forward the work of making their
homes, their neighborhoods, their
towns, tljeir state and their country
better and finer. She was going home
to tell the women of the club all the
wonderful things she had heard. She
was proud that she could remember
the gist of all the lectures. 'The thin,
old hand, with its withered back was
firmer the day she looked back at the
armory for the last time and started
on the sea trip to Coney Island on
the convention play day. Her hand
must be strong and steady, for it bears
a torch. . .
If You Want : ...
d Thing Done- ;
Do It Yourself
By FORTUNE FREE. "
If you want a thing done, do it :
yourself." It is good old advice, and
I dare sav it could not be bettered in
its'some circumstances. But surprising re
sults often attach to doing tnmgs
oneself. . - ',. :
A friend of mine who cannot afford
much in the way of paying for an
abundance of attention, asked me the
other day if I knew anything about
darning sock. Now that is a thing
I have never studied.
"Of course not," he said sarcastic- .
ally. "Wonderful what a useless thing
a man is generallyl He't helpless de
pendent upon other people I And
how do they look after him? Here
you have been all these years wear
ing socks and couldn't for your life
stop a hole in one I Now these socks, .
which I only put on this morning,
have a hole here" we were walking
down a street, and he stopped on one
'.eg, lifted up one foot and tapped the
sole, to the astonishment of passersby
"as big as a silver dollar! Enough
to give a fellow his death of cold."
I asked him how it was, if he could
mend socks, he had not seen to it. He
informed me that he had never
mended socks before, but having
bought some worsted and needles, he
meant to mcna nis own socks in su
ture. He set up thaf'night in bed, smok
ing his pipe and mending that hole,
and the next morning astonished his
fellow clerks by turning up at the of
fice in one light blue sock and one
dark brown. The explanation was
that, having completed his task
"somehow," he had gone to sleep, and
when he had turned out in the morn
ing with only fifteen minutes in
which to dress, shave and have his
breakfast had discovered that, for
some mysterious reason, his foot
would not go into his sock. Could it
have swelled in the night? No. It was
the ordinary size. It dawned on him
at last that in mending that sock he
had sewn the bottom of the sole to
the top. In his well, agitation and
rush he put on the first sock he could
find. He will do better next time.-1
Doing a thing oneself or trying it "
is often a revelation. One may find
the thing which seemed easy remark
ably "tricky" or impossible without a
lot of practice, or, on the other hand,
easier than one expected.
I know a lady to whom the ne-'
cessity of having to do her .own shop
ping has proved a revelation. She
was certain she would never be able
to do it herself. The person who at
tended to that department' of her
household occasionally gave her the
most harrowing accounts of the al
most superhuman energy and daring
he found necessary to foil shopkeep- .
ers bent on obtaining unscrupulous
profits from her. Her saving to the
establishment was tremendous ac
cording to her own accounts and the .
lady, who had "no head" for figures, .
hugged herself on her good fortune '
at having secured such a "treasure."
Blank despair seized on her when .
suddenly her income was greatly re
duced, and the treasure, being called
upon. to manage things on a smaller
weekly amount, promptly declared it
could not possibly be done. She
seemed really quite insulted at the
suggestion.
She left. The hoot of the taxi that
bore her away had hardly died down
in the street before my lady friend,
taking her courage in her hands, de
termined to see to things herself. It
was wonderful I Shopkeepers, she
found, to her amazement, quite polite
and considerate folk. They were noth- ;
ing like the brigands she had imag
ined. One great worry, however, af
flicted her. How was it, having bought
everything she wanted for the week,
she stilt had $15 left over? What had
she forgotten? ' '
"You don't know how worried I got,
Fortune," she smiled at me. "What
could, it be that I had not thought of?
Of course, I had a list of things on
paper, but there must be something I
had forgotten. What was it?','
"The treasure," I remarked.
' That was the explanation. "The '
treasure," used to impress upon my
friend that she regarded her interests
as her own. Certainly no one ever I
lotiked after her own interests more "
keenly. Yes, her employer'! money ,
was regarded as her own.
Virginia Baked Ham , '
Jty CONSTANfE CLARKE.
Virginia Ham is one of the most
delicious of dishes and may be served
hot or cold. In choosing a. ham, as
certain that it is perfectly sweet by
running a sharp knife into it, close to
the bone, and if, when the knife is
withdrawn, it has an agreeable smell
the ham is good; if, on the contrary,
the blade has a greasy appearance and
offensive smell, the ham is bad. It it
is very dry and salty, let it remain in
soak tor twenty-four hours, changing
the water frequently.' This length of
time is only necessary in the case of
its being very hard; from eight to
twelve hours would be sufficient for" a
sweet ham. Wash it thoroughly clean
and trim away from the under side all
the smoked parts, which would spoil
the appearance. Put it into a boiling
pot, with sufficient water to cover it,
and with s bouquet of sweet herbs.
Bring it gradually to the boil, and as
the scum rises carefully remcjve ft.
Keep it simmering very gently until
tender, and be careful that it does not
stop boiling nor boil too quickly.
When done take it out of the pot,
strip off the skin with. a sharp knife
and place in s baking pan with two
cups of cider and bake for an hour or .
more, according to the size, basting
the ham when, baking with the cider.
Remove from the oven, brush over
the surface of the ham with beaten
egg and sprinkle -over it fresh bread
crumbs mixed with brown sugar. Re
turn it to .the oven until s crust is
formed. Place a paper frill around the
knuckle bone and serve.
