THE LADIES' OOLUMN. Oonain Kate's Weakly Budget of reminine r«ot and lauBj, -,^ â€" » TakloK Freckles From Frettr Faces Iq season jast now is the old court recipe lor bathing the face with the jaice of crashed strawberries, letting it dry on over night, and washing off in the morning with chervil water, which mast be replaced by rose water or well-boiled soft water. If kept up for a week this shoald lake the freckles off by its pure acid, which we all know whiteziB the teeth. Barberry pulp removes tan and freckles ; hence I will recommend girls to try it just before going back to the city after •. snmmer in the country. And lam forgetting the pleasant- est method of clearing the complexion by a oourse of new maple ayrup, eaten hot every morning. Brown bread and West India molasses are not so pleasant, but work a very miracle in producing an alabaster skin and luminous eyes. West India molasseti 'has old repute for its cleansing and deter- gent properties on silks and woolens, due to its alcohol and acids. But it is also a oos- metio, used by Jamaica women, rubbed on the cheeks and allowed to stay on as long as one oan endure it, an hour perhaps. To rub the body all over with it, and sit in a warm bath room half an hour or less, and wash off in hot water, followed by a per- fumed bath is said to have a marvellous effect in preserving the youth and freshness of the whole system. Let those who like it try it. Frttnkliii'ii Advice to Mothers. In a parcel of Benjamin Franklin's let- ters that have recently been made public ia one addressed to a lady congratulating her upon the well-being of her baby boy, whom «he had announced as having cut live teeth. He writes : " Pray let hiro have every- thing he likes. I think it of great conse- quence while the features of the counten- ance are forming ; it gives them a pleasant air, and one that becomes fixed and natural by habit, the face is ever handsomer after ward for it, and on that much of a person's good fortune and success in life may depend." Franklin did not mean by this that the child should be given all the food it wanted, but that it shoald be surrounded by pleasant objects for its amusement and diversion. " Who has not seen a scowl of discontent upon the (ace of an infant deepen and become a permanent defect â€" a lifelong proof of the discomforts of its babyhood ?" Verily the aina of parents are visited upon their helpless children. After a few more telling argu- ments in fuvur of the child, the writer says : " Always believe a childâ€" at least, do not e.\pre8j your unbelief if you can help it. If the little fellow sees that you rely upon his word ihe feels an increaseil respect for the truth and for himself, until at length his character for probity will be- oome matured and established." Many an exceptionally imaginative child ia una- ble to distinguish between facts and fancies, as fairy tales and Mother Goose melodies quite bewilder his brain with their sem blauce of reality. Such children are apt to conjure up curious stories in which truth inA fiction are hopelessly confuted, and will relate them in all seriousness. The Use uf Pertames. In the days of our grandfathers, laven- der was scattered through the linen press, and cheats of clothes had little bags of sweet herbs, sweet clover scented thehand- kurchiefs, and there was a dainty odor clinging to everything pertaining to the lady's wardrobe. To-day perfumes are used in even more forms and in all imagin- able places. There are satchel bags to pin into the dress,satchel cases to hold handkerchiefs, others to hold note paper, and others tilled with violot powder and orris root to use on the akin. A cluster of tiny perfumed bags hangs over the back of one's lounging chair, and odd little devices scatter a delightful odor about the table of bric-a-brac. A pil- low tilled With pine needles sheds an aromatic perfume over the divan cushions, a rose jar tilled with a pot-pourri of rose leaves, salt and spices, graces thu dining- room table, and a sponge sprayed with rare perfume stands on a dainty porcelain tray ready to uioiaten one's finger tips. These are the ordinary oruanieuts now of dining - rooma or parlors of all households where enough of an income prevails to allow of any luxurious decorations. HiKh Heels and Pointed Toes. Since the high heel and painted toe have bad time to do their work the chiropodist ia rising to a smoney-making a position as the American dentist. The women who operate in the public baths for ladies have more work than they can attend to, and are raising their fees according to the state of the pairs of feet whioh they are asked to attend to. The ordinary old-fashioned treatment, requiring only the sharp knife and the pumice stone, is still a frank and a half. But (or the operation known as " dehoofing " the foot, you may, with extras, get up from lOf. to 30(. There are women who are able when the fine world is in Paris to make (rom Hi to £5 a day. The seaside season is even more lucrative, because feet are so much in view on the sands of marine bathing places, where it ia permissible to paddle about in sah water long after the teens ' have been cleared. Be it remembered thai the high-heelod boot or shoe, by throwing the whole weight of the body on the tightened-np toes, deadens them and the rest of the foot, and bringa the whole mem- ber, so far as the distribution of muscular ioroe and nervous vitality go, into much the same state as a horse's hoof. The de- hoofing process begins with a warm bran or potato-starch foot bath, followed by a quick plunge in cold water, after which there is shampooing with eau de Cologne or something else to help a reaotion. Then there ia a gymnastio pulling oqt and moving up and down and from side to side of individual toes, wliiah reminds one of the piggy-w'ggy g»nie which nnrses play with the pedal extremities of babies. The nurso, beginning with the great . toe and going on with the (our others says : " This pig went to the market, and this pig atayed at home, and thia pig »to bread tad butter, and thia pig ate none, and thia little pig cried, take me to mammy at home." The toea are manipulated and exeroiaed separ- ately, until each ia limber and lively. The sole o( the toot ia alao enlivened thna : The patient leans wth both hands on a pair of props, and places the foot on a broad norae- hair band which works from side to aido ; then oomM more hand rubbing, thia time with glycerine, followed by friction with small bruahaa and inatrumenta like drawing atumps. The nails are carefully attended to. AH dead and hard skin is carefully removed, and finally the ankle and insteps are put into gymnastic training. At the end of, aay, an hour, a pair of feet whioh have been martyrized with high heels and pointed toes feel ecjual to dancing, jump- ing or taking a long walk. They alao look shapely and quite young. One wondera why they should be hidden with ahoea and atockinga, and whether akilled chiropody will not look to a revival of sandals. â€" Pari$ Letter in London Truth. Like the Paper on the Wall. It haa come at last ; it has been on the way ever since the very tight sleeves and snug-fitting bodices engrossed the feminine fancy. A patent baa been taken sat by an enterprising clothier for a garment that fits the figure literally like the paper on the wall. The measurements arc taken with accuracy, and the novelty ia in the shape of the seams, which are so made as to dispense with all vestige of a wrinkle. These eel-skin bodices are worn with riding-habits, and so as to get every curve and motion the lady ia fitted while seated upon an imitation horse, assuming precisely the position she woald on a real steed. â€" TtUjU Talk. Seasonable Recipes. Strawberry Cream Cake.â€" Make a very light sponge cake from six eggs, and bake it in three jelly cake tins. While it ia baking and cooling, cover a quarter box of gelatine with a half cup of cold water and soak a half hoar. Whip one pint of cream and pat in a tin or granite pan ; stand this pan in another containing cracked ice. Add to the craam a half cup of powdered sugar and a teasponfnl of vanilla sugar. Stir the gelatine over boiling water antU it dissolves, add it to the cream and stir at once, and continue stirring until the cream begins to thicken. When the cakes are cold put over one a thick layer of this cream ; then stand strawberries evenly all over it ; put on another layer of the cake ; cover it with cream and berries, and so continue, having the top layer cream and berries. Serve very cold. For a delicate temperance nectar taken with the dessert : Chop two pounds of fine Sultana raisins, add the grated yellow rind and juice of (our large lemons and two poonds of powdered sugar candy. Melt this in a gallon of water in a large porce- lain kettle. Boil and akim it for half an hour, and while it ia boiling add by degrees the lemon and raiaina. Continue boiling for ten minutes, then put the mixtare in a stonu jar and cover it closely. Let it stand for three days, stirring it down to the hot torn each day. Strain it through a linen bag and bottle it, sealing the corks. It will be ready for use in two weeks. The quan tity of thia and other preparations can be doubled and trebled aa required. tt SfT^t SII iMUgnage of tlia Eyes. Black (dark brown) are a aign of paasion ate ardor in love. Dark blue or violet denote great affection or purity, but not much intefiectuality. Clear, light blue, with calm, steadfast glance, denote cheerfulness, good temper, couatancy. Pale blue or steel colored, with shifting motion of eyelids and pupils, denote deceit- fulness and selfishness. <M%liS,1!V Russet brown, without yellow, denote an affectionate disposition, sweet and gentle. The darker the brown the more ardent the passion. Blue, with greenish tints, are not so strongly indicative of these traits, but a slight propeniiity to greenish tints in eyes of any color is a sign of wisdom and courage. Gray, or greenish gray, with orange and blue shades and ever varying tints, are the must intellectual and are indicative of the impulsive, impressionable tempera- mentâ€"the mixture of sanguine and bilious, which produces poetic And artistic natures. Light brown, or yellow, denote incon- sistency ; green, deceit and coquetry. Eyes o( no particular color (only some feeble shades of blue or gray, dull, expressionless, dead looking) belong to the lymphatic temperament, and denote a listlesa, feeble disposition, and a cold, aelfiah nature. ♦ They Bounced the Tenor Singer, The action just taken by the church- wardens of Holy Trinity Church, Uoane- low, England, will meet with the approval o( a very great many church-goers. The congregation of Holy Trinity includes a Mr. Todd. It appears (rom reliable evi- dence that when Mr. Todd aings everybody else in the church laugba, although bo aings so loud that the irreverent giggling is not heard. The churchwardens having stood it (or Mi years, decided that the time had come to inter(ore, particularly as Mr. Todd's tunor voice kept getting louder and more objectionable all the time. Mr. Todd haa been solemnly in- (ormed that be must either stop sing- ing or leave the church, and he has resigned rather than ceaae hie mualc. The proceed- ings o{ Todd be(ore the ohurohwardens appeared rather comicaL He tlew into a rage, vowed he had a goo(i tenor voice, and oiTered to fight a man who suggested that it was more like the roaringof abuU. Todd swore he never would stop sinflng, told his criticH that tbuy were Uymg in the thee ot Providence and the Book o( King David. The Chairman said be didn't want to hear anything about King David, who probably had a better voice than Todd, and ro(usud the request o( the latter that a seait should be given him in the choir. Todd said it was all jealoasy, and wound up his defence by offering to sing in turn all the ohurch- wardens present for a guinear apiece, any competent judge to be ohosen. Thk offer was not aooepted.

They are fond of strapi^e tints, odd shades of red, green and blue ; they wear, seme o( them, old-(ashioned three-cornered shawls of line patterns and bold colors, presenting a very picturo8i(ue appearance. Many of tlio chilaren are re- markably pretty. They look out with large eyes from andor their tangled, curly locks, like so many cherubs fitted with half naked bodies.

If you go in the evening to eat an ice, or take a cup of coffee at Florain'a, in St. Mark's stjuare, these soft- voiced, ragged little thieves come creep- ing up to you with their bright faces, point- ing to their red-ripe moutha to tell you they are hungry, olTering matobcs tor sale, or asking yon (ur the und of your cigar, your cofTee, your cake.
