The sleeves are of the material with full puff and deep tucked cuff. The little skirt is gored and trimmed as mentioned above.

COLD CREAMS SHOULD BE USED AFTER HOT BATHS Cold creams should he used after bathing, for cold weather dries the skin, and only 'by outer applications can the daily waste be repaired. Every one knows that more strong meats, such as beef and pork, are eaten during the winter, the reason being that they contain more blood and heat making properties. Also they posses a larger percentage of fat. Certainly poi meat never to be put into the stomach except when the mercury is low. Now all these menus have an excellent effect upon the system when winter begins to thin the blood and sap vitality, for without such articles on the dietary list it would be almost impossible to keep warm.

But even these do not affect the is, not as much as they should. In other words, the waste caused by wind and cold is such that local applications are required, and the tissues must be fed from without as well as through the stomach. One of the most annoying ways in which cold affects the skin is to cause an itching, and persons who take warm baths daily are apt to be affected in this way, for the temperature of the water aggravates tlie condition. There is no eruption from it and only occasionally a slight redness, which does not appear until friction, in an effort to relieve the CARE OF LAMPS. Lamps well cared for are not only an inexpensive method of lighting, but the most becoming, both in poin.t of furnishings and for individuals.

The objections that they create an odor and are "messy" need not exist if one is willing to work with them, and the reward of bright, soft light that follows daily attention to the wicks more than repays for the slight effort. And to do this cleaning if a pair of old gloves is drawn on the daintiest housekeeper need not fear soiling her hands. Her equipment, besides these, must consist of a pair of medium-size scissors and some tissue paper. The latter is better than cloth for cleansing and absorbing oil, and it can be thrown away, obviating the need for keeping greasy rags. Crumpled bits of paper, too small to use wrapping parcels, are suitable for the wicks, and the pieces shou be kept in a box or drawer with the sicissors.

And there will be no difficulty in keeping the wicks even and soft if every moi'ning this method is followed: The wick is turned aOove the metal, just enough to expose the crust. With a match or piece of stick the dry black is rubbed, when it will crumble off. The end then is rubbed with tissue paper, making a litt'e wad of the latter. The wick after one rub is turned down so the top is on a line with the metal, which makes an edge by which to shape tlx- top. The rub with paper must be hrisk and regular, requiring not more than four or live seconds.

By this time tlie wick should he raised again for inspection. Probabilities are that it will be smooth, but should it be rough with litt'e points or must be removed with the scissors, it will not be necessary to use the clippers every day, however. A housekeeper who takes care of her own sitting room should have her own particular can of oil that no one touches. When it needs refilling she may take it to the kitchen, but the only way she can be certain of controlling and -having the supply when she wishes is to keep ne receptacle somewheie out of the kitchen or pantry. There will then be no grease on the outside of such a tin if it is wiped after tilling.

Once a month all lamps should be boiled to prevent any accumu'ation of trimmings from the wicks, for with even the best of care these will gather at the base of the holder, and it is top of the needs boiling. An old kettle must be reserved lor this purpose. Sal soda in the water aids in cutting the I grease, and the should boil for i fifteen or twenty minutes, boiling again I for five minutes in fresh water, or even two different waters if the lamp is very dirty. To dry, it may be turned ifpside clown to drain, as no cloth or paper will reach every crevice. There will never be the slightest odor to lamps that are cared for in this manner.

RECEIVING VISITORS. It is always pretty and permissible to serve tea in the afternoon to visitors. The maid should bring in the tray, laid with cups and- all necessaries for tea. Sandwiches, or merely crackers and little cakes and cookies, are enough to serve. The maid does not hand the cups, and is not recalled until the tray is to be removed.

annoyance, brings blood to the surface. This action naturally only increases the itching, which, if too troublesome, necessitates the use of cold cream or other penetrating grease. This should be put on morning and night, inundating the region affected. While this condition continues dry baths should be taken. To administer such a cleansing one stands on a bath mat and every portion of the body is gone over with a soft Turkish towel that is rough enough to create friction when it is rubbed briskly over the flesh.

Such treatment will require ten or fifteen minutes, anil at (he end of this period the body will be glowing and all surface dirt removed. Afterward there should" be an application of cold cream. One particularly good to use at such timesis made from three ounces of oil of sweet almords, ten trrams of oU ef bitter almonds, two grams each of balsam of toll! and benzoin and two drops each of oil of lemon and cajeput. The tolu and benzoin are put into the oils and the cup containing them placed where the liquid will be warm for twenty-four hours. Then there should be only a slight sediment, which must be rejected, and as the lotion cools the sweet oils should be added.

When itching from excessively dry skin is particularly irritating this cream may be put on the body before frictioning with the towel, another application being made when the rubbing is over. This is also excellent for the face and throat. MARGARET M1XTER. CANDY RECIPE. Although the boiled sugar or French fondant is preferred for the finest cream randies, an uncooked cream made in this way is quickly and easily prepared and in every way satisfactory.

To make it, beat the whites of two eggs to a froth, add an equal quantity of cold water (measuring two half-eggshellsful), then gradually stir into this confectioners' sugar until of a paste stiff enough to be molded with the fingers and letain its shape. Flavor to taste, then form into balls, cubes or lozenge shape and lay on waxed paper to dry. After this they may be coated with chocolate or combined with dates, walnuts, tigs, cherries, the same as French fondant. If desired, the creams may be colored before molding. Divide the cream into as many portions as you desire colors, and flavor in conformity with the color to be used.

Mints should be left white or colored green. This is procured by cooking a few spinach leaves with just a suspicion of water, crushing and straining. For coloring yellow to be used in orange candies, either yolk of an egg or half an ounce of saffron. and add to it two ounces alcohol and four of water, the mixture stand several days before using. It will have a deep orange color and, used in small quantities, will furnish a beautiful yellow shade.

To color pink, to be used with rose flavoring, place in a glass a quarter of an ounce each powdered cochineal, alum and cream of tartar. Mix. add four ounces warm water and the same amount of alcohol and allow the mixture to stand over night. Strain and bottle. Stir a few drops at a time into the cream until it is of the required shade.

Fruit juices, raspberry and cranberry make a good for candies. For blue, rub indigo in a little water on a plate. Caramel or chocolate gives a dark brown. fadsTfor women. Instead of showing opalescent shadings, beads, bugles and cabochons as now used are ir.
