womans world by mair m morgan a womans plac la in th home vl your skin weatherproofing your skin against tho cold la an immediate problem to most women are stimulants and do not tend to in duce sleep even not milk taken at night should have a ititle warm water added to it hot milk particularly it it is drunk at women with oily skins may lament juicmy s t00 heavy and may hut its the dry3 who should complain for oil in your skin is the protective coating against cold weather the rav ages ot a toohot and toodry house and age if you are a born dry just recognize the fact and lubricate your own face neck arms and hands dry skin have you ever when doing the work or sitting at your desk in the oflle felt your faec feel rather taut your head hot and your lip3 dry have you in such circumstances ever tried the simple expedient ot dashing cold water over your face and letting it dry without wiping if you have then you will understand this beauty hint prob ably your skin needs more oil than it has and you should give it to it it sometimes is not just a simple matter of rubbing more oil into the skin vou may be cheating yourself ot enough butter and cream in your diet and your whole system may need fat it may be that your nerves are tired and you need rest it may be that you are growing driedup or de hydrated the answer to that is to drink more water lots of it a glass an hour on the hour tor a week or two and then see how you feel but rubbing oil into the skin al ways helps even after you have done the more fundamental beauty things stir circulation also give your face the treat of get ting slapped to stir hie circulation particularly massage your temples delicately toiicli the flue nerves ju hi side the inner edges ot your eyelashes and through that little space between them also ruffle up your hair all over your head and rub the muscles at the back ot your neck dont let the tension ot winter get you dress to suit your hair most of us in thes enlightened days dress to hide our bad points and accentuate our good ones but still many of us fail to get the desired re sult because we do not give colour the valuation it should have in producing i charming tout ensemble let us take an ash blonde how attractive she looks in grey for day wear or if she is very pale navy dlue or vermilion and she who is the ucky possessor of vivid blue eyes never forgets to echo their colour somewhere in her toilet and for the evening brown can bo so charming as well as boing fashion able just now then there is a rich cream so much more becoming than dead white black of course is al ways right while mauve if sho has the right amount of colour and makes up very carefully can look superb on a girl of the ash blonde type golden blonde the golden blonde with deep blue eyes can wear with success much more vivid colours than her asli blonde sister if her complexion is colourful and good she looks radiant in bright greens and bluos yellow is not for this type unless it has a decided tint of green in it for evening wear golden browns aro delightful and a beige lace dress is a wonderful standby for an evening or semievening gown blacfi as usual is chic and throws up the golden lights of her hair and is most becoming if her figure is not- sosllm but if she is the willowy type something bright in a restaurant or ballroom makes a wonderful back ground for the golden blonde titian red hair how devastatingly beau tiful she can look in theright shade of green leaf green how it shows up her wonderful hair and the whiteness of skin which the titian type nearly al ways possesses grey is another safe colour and of course brown to tone with the hair is always right for evening wear nothing looks lovelier than white brunette a brunette with an ivory skin she should never wear brown it kills the subtlo tint in her skin black and white tor day wear nothing looks better or beige the later intensities the creamintss of her skin and is al ways in good tafto and for the evening vivid colours are for the brunette green blue red orange all can bo worn with perfect success by this type golden slumbers it is natural to feel more tired in the winter we need more sleep dur ing tho darker months of the year it is thorefore rather neessary to get as much good as possible out of your nights rest it is a mistake to take anything in ilia way of very nourishing soups or easily cause indigestion the spine is very sensitive to cold and the nerves of the spine must be at rest before sleep is possible mas sage of the spine is said to induce sleep hut a good substitute is to place a warm hotwater bottle in the small of the back or even in the nape of the neck in very cold weather a small back pillow should be used to keep out draughts cold feet are also sleep robbers ex citing discussions or exciting books late at night are others hunger will keep people awake so in avoiding ex treme suppers do not go to the other extreme and have none at all a bis cuit or some small thing eaten when one is wakeful will sometimes induce sleep the most healthgiving sleep is to be had before twelve see that you are in bed in time for it whenever pos sible laundering lace if you are washing a particularly lovely bit of lace a collar or a jabot squeeze it out in tepid soap flake suds rinse in the same temperature also by squeezing then take a towel spread it out firmly across a table or bed and take a whole paper of pins if necessary and carefully spread out the lac putting pins through the edges to hold them stretched so that the whol thing dries in shape first

stained through driving a motor car such stains should lie removed in the following manner rub pure lard over the grease marks and allow it to remain on the gloves for several hours then remove as much of the grease as possible and clean the gloves with turpentine if the gloves are washable then they should be washed in warm soai water the lard is used to softt i the stains which will then come out easily if the gloves are either washed or cleaned with the turpentine constant washing the busy woman who is constantly washing her hands will find a bowl of fine oatmeal beside the sink an exel- lent substitute for soap just to dip the wet hands into and rub well as if with soap and rinse off if this seems insufficiently dainty a piece of orris root can be kept in the bowl to scent the oatmeal giving when moist ened a faint fragrance as of violets baked with honey honey baked apples are a piece of cookery to recommend according to those who have tried them first bake the apples in a little water until tender and then remove from the oven and drizzle a thin stream ot warm honey over them white enamelled furniture will not turn yellow if washed with warm water in which two

from the gases surrounding them the nitrogen they convert into hose- soluble compounds upon which all surface life from the smallest plant to the largest mammal depends for existence only t microorganisms of the soil have the marvelous power of fixing nitrogen direct from the form in which it exists in the atmosphere soil study long delayed one of the anomalies of science is that natural phenomena of greatest use to man arc sometimes last to be studied this is certainly the case with respect to the soil the first real insight into the na ture origin and development of soils was obtained by russian scientists who made a study of the black soils of the great plains of continental eurasia previous to this soiis were considered only as a part of the ci rths crust without character de velopment or ays of their own how wrong this estimate was is re vealed by recent discoveries in soil science some of which were outlined only recently at the sessions of the american soil survey association and the american society of agronomy at washington as a result of the work of the soil survey of the united states department of agriculture it is now known that in the united states there are six great groups of soils which are clearly distinguishable from each other and that their differentiation is caused essentially by the climatic con ditions under which they were pro- c ced to laymen however the most fas cinating part of soil science probably is the tremendous miniature world of living things which inhabit moist garden soil according to an estimate may be expected to contain in one level teaspoonful from 100000000 to 400000000 bacteria 5000000 to 25- 000000 of a group cf organisms a lit tle larger than bacteria and known as actinomycetes and from fifty to 500- 000 pieces of different kinds of mold so varied dynamic and interrelated is this teeming microcosm that many perhps most of its denizens have so far escaped study and classification from the point of view o man and the higher plants and anirals then chief functions are to destroy and assimilate the debris which would otherwise gather on the surface and overwhelm the world aid to fix at mospheric nitrogen into soluble com pounds suitable for plant food and utimately for the proteins which make up the major part of animal tissues organic matter destroyed the function of destroying organic material deposited on the scil appears to be participated in by most of these microorganism the end products of tleir efforts are carbon uioxide nitro gen compounds and the mass of or ganic material known as humus all of which are necessary to the life of plants the interest of the micro organisms in this process of course is only in the energy they derive from the raw material the valuable soil constituents which result are only end products from which fe bacteria and molds can extract no more energy some of these soil bacteria appear to be unable to live when exposed to oxygen and are called anaerobic the soil particles except in very wet regions are continually bathed in air which enters through the tiny crevices around the particles the anaerobic bacteria however seem to be able to find places to thrive within the finer aggregations of soil colloids where carbon dioxide gathers so thickly as to exclude oxygen and so proves a s itable atmosphere for these tiny plants the

ers hearts must have ached when they gathered their frightened little ones into telr laps the day that wil liam the conquerer set foot on peven- sey beahc imagine the parental panic that seized our sixteenthcentury ancestors when the armada came up the chan nel think of the forebodings of our greatgrandsiros when they heard the first rumblings of the industrial re volution with its threat of widespread unemployment some of them called luddites were so afraid that they went in for an orgy of mahcinery smashing and were hanged for it 1 say there is no reason why we parents should be afraid of what lies ahead for our children today wheth er we know it or not fcse of us with children have a sense ot destiny where others only have a sense of fatality our hands are on the shoulders of the men and women of tomorrow this sense of fatality has taken hold of far too many people sharp ened by the war it has been largely responsible for our present troubles it is for this reason that for the first time at thirtyseven i find myself envying those younger than i be cause they will recover humanitys sense of destiny produce leaders in whom it is the dominating power and go on to triumphs of which we are not worthy if as i think to be a parent in these days is a greater adventure than it has ever been i also think that it is a greater adventure now to be young i envy my children the new world in which they and their children will live it is not going to be the test- tube world ofthe thinnecked bulging- headed theorists if the fine boys and girls i see around me are to have any thing to do with it it will be a world of greater sanity opinions there will be infinitely more good health my children and theirs will have the advantages of all that medi cal science is now trying to achieve i there will bo far fewo- diseases far fewer deformities of body and mind epidemics will have passed in- j to books just as has the black death 1 envy my children because they will be much

time to study the arts to discover beauty to culti vate good manners people will think with thei minds and not with their nerves as too many do now specially do i envy ir children bej cause by the
