SLEE TIME BY GRANDMOTHER'S QUILT Once upon a time Beth and her grandmother went down town shopping and there they saw a doll's patchwork quilt made in many colors. "That makes me thing of the real patchwork that I used to do when I was a little girl," said Grandmother. "Oh, Grandmother, teach me how to make one, won't you, please," pleaded Beth, and Grandmother promised that she would.

When they got home Beth was telling Ned about the making of the quilt when Grandmother said: "That makes me think of the time I went visiting and took my patchwork," and the children ran and close beside her. "When I was a little girl," she began, "I went to visit my aunt Carrie. She lived on a farm in the next village and I loved to go there very much. I had to do so much sewing every day on a quilt I was making, and, while I didn't mind sewing on it at home, I was sorry when my mother told me to take it with me to Aunt Carrie's. "I remember when I got to my aunt's it was just supper time and the ride had made me very hungry.

Auntie made me a gingerbread cake with my name on it in she had just the cake I liked and everything. "The next morning when I got up ran out to to feed chickens and Uncle milk the thatch cows and it was almost noon before I remembered that I ought to work on the quilt. "In the afternoon Uncle was going to the village and wanted me to g0 with him, so I forgot again about the patchwork. The next day Aunt Carrie invited a little girl to visit me and we had a party so again I forgot my work. "That night as going to bed I told Aunt Carrie that I had brought the patchwork and that my mother wished do two squares before I came After breakfast the monte.

next got out my work and started but the little girl that had day, visited me the day before came and Manteca Carrie me to told play me to with run her along. and "That afternoon my father came to take me home and I felt very guilty at not doing any of the patchwork, and went to get it to take home. When I looked at it, what do you think? Every bit of the two squares were all done. Dear Aunt Carrie had done it herself so I could have a good time. IN MILADY'S BOUDOIR By Gwen Sears.

tion. Before beginning the steaming process the complexion should be given a thick coating of cold cream, applying it with the finger tips, using a rotary motion. The face is now held over the steaming vessel and a towel is so held that the steam is directed to the face. After the perspiration starts, the cream is renewed with a soft towel and the complexion is again steamed. The wiping and steaming should be continued until all traces of grease have disappeared.

Ten twenty minutes may be devoted to this process, and then the face must be carefully dried, after which a dash of cold water will close the pores, the face is again gently dried and a good tonic applied. KEEPING THE FACE SUPPLE is to cleanse the pores by perspira- To keep the skin of the face supple and in good condition, steaming it is ideal. Too frequent steaming is not advised, once a week is usually often enough, as it has a tendency to make the skin flabby, but if indulged in now and then, it serves to open the pores, removes dust and accumulations and keeps the skin supple. There are different methods of steaming the face, but a favorite one is to utilize the chafing dish, for with this the heat may be so regulated that the temperature of the water can be kept below the boiling point. However, any kind of a vessel can be used over a gas burner or alcohol lamp.

The water should never reach the boiling stage as steam from boiling water will burn the skin.

For stomach cramps ginger ale or a teaspoon of tincture of ginger in a half teaspoon soda has been dissolver, is very good. Sickness of the stomach is promptly relieved by draining a teacup of hot soda and water. Whooping cough paroxyms are relieved by breathing the fumes of turpentine and carbolic acid. Broken limbs should be placed in natural positions and the patient kept quiet until the doctor arrives. Hemorrhages of the lungs and stomach are promptly checked by small doses of salt, keeping the patient as quiet as possible.

For headache Nurse suggests the following simple remedies: Put your feet in very hot water. This draws the blood from your head and eases the pain. Lay a sponge dipped in very hot water on the back of the neck, keep it until it is cool, and then, put a cold sponge in its place. the pain is bad you may use the hot sponge four or five times before applying a cold one. GOON SAYS Cook says if you will take a thin slice of potato and hold it to the light you will notice that next to the skin there is a section of the fibre thicker than the rest.

It is this part which contains the nutriment of the potato, and that is why one should pare the peelings off thin in order not to waste the best part of the vegetable. If your potatoes are heavy and soggy when you bake them, instead of light and flaky, try picking holes in them with fork, or cutting a slit with a knife when they are baked and allow the steam to escape. It is keeping the moisture in the potato that makes it soggy and uninviting. Lieut. E.
