An attractive skin wins admira- tion. In social life and in business the girl or woman whose face and hands show evidence of constant care enjoys a tremendous advantage over those who do not realize the value of a healthy skin and a spotless complexion. At the cost of a "small jar of orc- inary cold cream one can prepare a full quarter pint of the most won- derful lemon skin softener and com- plexion beautifier, by squeezing the juice of two fresh lemons into a bot- tle containing three ounces of or- chard white. Care should be taken to strain 'the juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan, and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifier. Just try it! Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fra- grant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands. It naturally should help to soften, freshen, bleach and bring out the roses and beautify any skin, DIRTY ? Yes Co ---- T------ SUNBURNT ? 0.

Of course, yon remember how, at the beginning of the war, Peggy would make more shirts than anyone else at the meetings. Then, after con- stant sewing her health gave way--- the trouble seemed to centre in her eyes--and the doctor said that she must give up the work entirely. But Peggy wouldn't be idle. She knew that I wanted to be able to do more work for the soldier but, with three young children to look after there isn't much time--so she sug- gested that she should take care of the children for two afternoons a week, while I attended the Red Cross meetings. The scheme has worked splendidly. It is a great relief .to get away from one's own children; and to do something different. Any mother, with everything to do for her children, knows that, and the child- ren love it But to come back to Peggy.

I had been strum- ming the piano in our tiny parlor, and when he was announced I was so pleased to see him, that I showed my pleasure very plainly. "1 thought you had forgotten me,' I said. "No, indeed. 1 have missed you sadly, and 1 have felt, at times, like destroving the portrait so 1 could commenee another one." This foolish sentence affectéd me strangely: someone cared! I felt the blood rise to my face, and a thrill of gladness ran through me. "hat would be silly," I retorted, then added: "I am honestly delighted to see you. I was a little blue. Mr. Howard has gone yachting, and [I dread being alone." "Why didn't you go?" It was the same question Mrs. Sextfn had asked. I gave him the same answer. "Unfortunately, I am not sailor." "That's too bad If you go often, you may overcome it." "No thank vou! 1 prefer to stay on shore. You see, I make a nuis- ance of myself, as well as suffer tor- tures."

Spray For the Onion Maggott + As onions constitute a valu- able winter erop particular care shonld be taken this year to protect them from the onion maggot. Before they lay their eggs the adult flies may be de- stroyed by feeding upon the fol- lowing poisoned bait spray: Sodium arsenite--one-quarter ounce; cheap molasses--one pint; boiling water--one gal- lon. The sodium arsenite is first dissolved in boiling water and the molasses is then added. When the mixture has cooled it may be applied from an or- dinary watering can with a small rose. The idea is to deposit the poisoned solution on the growing crop in the form of coarse drops. The first appli- cation should be made when the plants are about three or four inches high and four or five farther applications should be made about a week apart. Bright, calm days should be chosen for this work, If pos- sible. hl a iets) Some men celebrate the anniver- sary of their birth as long as they live, but the average woman aban- dons it as goon as she grows up, A Sluggish Liver Causes Lots of Trouble When the liver becomes sluggish it 1s an indication that the bowels are aot Ykking properly. and if they do ve many complica~ tions are lable to set in. tion, sick headache, bil- heartburn of the stomach, ne from & disordered liv er. THE BABITANT COUNTRY. It Is Picturesque and Recalls the Old World. New France! The change from the Marititse Provinces or Ontario comes suddenly. In a moment, as i were, one is surrounded by French Canada, by French faces, French farms, French songs and language. In all America, there is no more picturesque and old-world region of the white man than this Habitant Country beloved of the poet, Drum- mond, and occupied by peasants who form the only important offshoot of the French people to be found, The section has «n isolated, quaint, al- most medieval clyilization, in which gay French chansons echoing from peasant cottages, home-fashioned hay carts and furniture, lofty wayside "calvaries," tumble-down little Nor- man houses with sloping roofs and dormer windows, like those of France 300 years ago, scarlet sashes and bright, knitted hoods, high, two- wheeled carts or caleches, and low- running sleighs or burleaux, speak eloguently of a day long past. So, too, speak the leisurely, old-world cour- tesy and the simple gayety and con tentment of light-hearted '"'Plerre and his people," amid whom hospi- tality reigns supreme and smiles are universal. The villages are long and strag- gling. They often begin with one saint and end with another, as though the parishes, having caught up with each other, had decided io make common cause. Pass out of the long, winding funnel of the irregular main street, past the open-air clay ovens, where peasant women daily bake bread, with a crowd of children tugging at their skirts, pass the litter of lumber mills, and a high cliff or slope, crowned by a lordly monastic establishment, invariably cemes to view. Noble and majestic in its aloof- ness, it casts its loug shadow across some hut into which a habitant and his numerous family have burrowed. Enter this hut, and you will doubt- less find that the main room is do- ing service as parlor, dimmng-room, and kitchen. Im the corner, a clumay staircase leads up to a loft that is a shakedown for members of the fam- ily and a storehouse for lumber, There, in a flash, one has caught something of the pathos of the Habi- tant Country, of the out-at-elbows homes, which straggle along uatil they reach the door of an impressive twin-spired church, It is the old France, the France before the revo- lution, All along the shores of the St. Lawrence, once the only highway, lies the true heart of the Habitant Country, the spot where settled the lineal descendants of those who, cen- turies before, pentrated the 'pays d'en haut" with a sublime courage and inspiration, to lift the veil from the unknown West, Here gre the his- toric farms, measuring their precious river frontage by feet and their depth by miles, their houses ranged, in co- lonial days, in rows that their occupants might the better fend off the attacks of the American indian, J "Jean Courteau" cliags with an almost desperate love to the pictur- esque riparian villages of the St Lawrence, stretehing all the way from the "gates" of the Habitant Country at Riviere du Loup, beyond the core of Drummond's adopted Habitant world at Trols Rivieres to that otter western edge at Bord a Plouffe, which hugs the banks of the beautiful Riviere des Prairies. Here is the haunt of the gladiators of the saw log who, from the square lumber raft, sing their odd ditties, "Trois beaux canards," or "Par derriere chez ma tante." "Bord a Plouffe is on de reever, Bord a Plouffe is on de shore, An' de family of Plouffe dere all aroun'." It was Voltaire who, at the fall of Quebec, coutemptuously remarked that England and France were fight- ing for a few acres of snow, But the Habitant knows better. Happy and contented, his coulitry, for him, is the most precious possession in the world, and many a citizen in less happy lands might envy the spirit which sings: "But I tole you----dat's true--I don't £0 on de city, if you geev de fine house an' beau- coup d'argent--- I rader be stay me, an' spen' de las' day me On farm by de rapide dat's call Cheval Blane." rs.
