Bass on bedsteads can be revived by rubbing them w.th a paste of ammonia and precipitated whiten- ing. If the bed is terribly shabby paint. it ovcr with a gold lacquer paint.

The best way to remove grease stains from Vvallpapzzv behind a carving table is to make a thick paste calcined magnesia and benzlne. Dab this thickly on the spots.

DUST IN THE EYE

In the spring the ah- is full of atoms of dust and particles of con- crete which seem determind to find ahome in somebodys eye.

You will be well advised to give your eyes an evening bath with either an eye lotion or week boracic. If during the day you feel that you have something in your eye, go. to the nearest doctor or druggist and have it removed at once

Delay may cause inflammation to sct up and help from a kindly friend may cause more harm than good, as removing a foreign body from the eye needs skill and eXmri- ence.

BUSINESS GIRLS’ BEAUTY PRO- BLEMiS ARE COMPLICATED

The beauty problems of the busi-

ness girl generally are a bit more complicaied than these of a. woman who stays at home. The homemaker is just as busy, of course, but. she at least has access to her beauty cabinet at any time during the day. The office worker, on the other hand, has to figure out definite times to complete her home treatments.

One successful business woman has worked out what seems to be n perfect method of preserving mic‘ enhancing her natural beauty. Sh: admits she olcesnt have much timc to spend on her hair. face and fig- ure, but. that by combining various routines, she manages to do all the necessities as well as a few extras.

When she gets up in the morning. she brushes her tooth, uses a mouth wash. cleans her face and throat and then covers them with a thin cont oi‘ good tissue cream. She's particularly careful to see that the skin around her eyes gets its share of cream. Then she stands before an open window and does setting-

up exercises for five minutes. A

‘ bath comes next followed by the removal of the tissue cream, np- plication of skin tonic and day- time cosmetics.

At night. she cleans face and neck and puts on tissue cream before getting into the tub. The cream stays on until, shes ready

for bed. About once every ten days she lent/es a good deal of it on nil night.

Once a week-the night before she expects to have a shampoo and a manicuie—she uses a face pack. tweezes her eyebrows into linc. gives her feet a pedicure and bleaches elbows with lemon juice.

NAPOLEONS LEITERS BRING HIGH PRICES One Missive Addressed to Marie

Louise Sold for £300

~ Napoleon has not lost his hold on the sale-room. Recently at Sothebys Iondon, two o! his let- ters to Marie-Louise more than

maintained the average once fetched by 318 of them when acquired last December for the

French nation.

Those letters were edited by M. Charles do la Ronciere, Principal Keeper of the Bibliothequc Nationale. The price given for the originals by the French authorities was £19,000.

At the recent sale £300 was given for a, letter dated April 17, 1814, from Fontainebleau a few days

before Napoleon's departure to Elba. He begs her in this to take care of herself for the sake of

"ton vicil cmiet pour ton fils." Next. £130 was paid for the letter which Marie-linuisc gave to her physician, Corvisart, who begged for it because the Emperor had mentioned him sympathetically in it. Yet the chic! interest. of it is

that. Napoleon is delighted to learn that his baby son is beginning to .

pragtle.

These had been sent to Sothcbys by a descendant of that Lady-in- Waiting. the Duchess de Monte- bello. who frequently had the task of deciphering Napoleon's hand- writing. With them was Murie- Louisc's genuine autograph dairy from July 23 to August. 9, i813. which realized £250. That she loved Napoleon dearly is proved ~b_v the entry that she thinks of the happy days spent with him. “ct je passai ma nuit a pleurer."

The days sale included also 30 letters written by Leigh Hunt to Shelley and his wife between 1817 and 1822, which fetched £360 (Mag- gsi. In one it is stated that the young bookseller who published the "Queen Mob" was prosecuted by the "society for Vice."

To this put a large cupful of soaked white peas, or split grey peas. unless in a season when fresh green peas are to be (had; a double quantiy of which must be put in using less barley. Skim very carefully. so long as any of the scum rises; then draw aside the pot, and let the broth boil for an hour, at which time put to it two young carrots and turnips cut in dice and two or three onions sliced. A quarter of an hour betfore the broth is ready acid a little pars- ilcy picked and chopped, or the whitc putt of three leeks may be used instead of onions, and a. head of celery sliced instead of the pars- ley seasoning, but celery requires uoncer boillnir. For beef broth a small quantity of greens roughly spread and the best part of four or five leeks cilt in inch lengths are better suited than turnip, carrot rnd parsley svhich arc more adapt- cd to mutton. If there is danger of the meat being overdone before the broth is properly thickened, it may be taken up. covered for hall on hour, and returned into the poi; to licnt through before it is dished.

clone everything possible to show her that she is making my life miserable, but. every effort has been in vain. What CAN I do? T. D. Answer:

The obvious thing for you to do is just to have a showdown with your wife. Tell her frankly how you feel about it. and suggest m amicable separation. If she does not love you, she may be as glad to part from you as you will be to leave her.

Certainly I can see no morality 1n two persona living together in an enforced companionship in which they an both miserable and which brings out all that is worst in their nut/urea. It keeps their nerves on edge. It sours all that is sweet and generous in their dispositions. It fills them with a hate that poisons thir- lives and makes them murderer-g gﬁ least. in thought, because they are always dwelling 1n their hind; m the possibility of the others death and looking forward to it as the realization oi’ their heart's desire.

But don't get a. divorce until you have tried at. lust l. you‘; separ- ation, because very often a couple who think that they have fulim out of love with each other are march fed up with too much of each othenmd all they need is to be part/ed long enough to get. hungry for each other-is presence again. Absence makes the heart grow fender, says the old prov- erb, and it is true especially in marriage, when husbands and wives are thrown we closely together to get a perspective on each others goon! qualities. They need to be parted long enough now and than to get l long-range vision of them.

If every disgruntled husband- and wife bod to go through a year's separation before they applied for a roe, there would be mighty few homes. As soon as the ‘ bus
