The polka-dot is still a favourite and gives a youthful and fresh appear- ance which hardly any other pattern does. One sketch shows a dress of polka-dot pattern with the long sleaves and a full skirt. There are two nice models of this same kind at the Sign of the Lantern.'

The protection consists of massag ing a little vanishing cream into the face before dusting it lightly with rice-powder. Then after the walk treatment consists in massaging the face with cold-cream and wiping it gently with a little soft linen. Then use some astringent lotion to get rid of the roughness, the irritation and the tingling..

This method is scientifically right. First comes the thin coating to counter act the effect of the sun, then the ridding of the pores of dust gathered from ex posare and, then the cooling and the soothing of the exposed parts.

Paris hairdressers are now "shaping" the hair instead of waving it. They cuts the hair, shampoo it, and while it is still wet, mould it into the lines that they consider the most becoming.

There is a good recipe for pimples, boils and inflammations that I want to convey to the readers of this page. May be it is known to some of you. I heard it from a friend of mine.

Boil tea-leaves and then let the leaves get cool. Put the leaves in a small linen sack and apply this to the inflamed part. It should be applied at night and kept on until morning. I have applied it to inflamed eyes and have bad excellent results. It is to be preferred to other packs because its cffective result does not depend on being kept warm. Teeth.

To keep children's teeth strong and free from destroying germs a good wash in the morning and in the evening with salt water is to be recommended. Just #dd a teatable spoonful of ordinary salt to a water-glass of loke-warm water. and let them gargle it and wash their teeth with it. Still better results can be obtained by adding a little bordeie to the salt. This mixture not only helps to preserve the teeth but also the gums. It has proved in many casca I have known more beneficial than toothpaste.

A wash with saltwater often gives re- lief in case of tooth-ache,

COOKING RECIPES.

Eggs with Rica.

Here is a new way to serve eggs. It provides a good course at tifin during those hot summer days (that is if the "fresh eggs can be obtained).

Fry three tablespoonfuls of cooked rice in an ounce. of "butter," and "then add four or five well-beaten eggs to this rice with a tablespoonful of cream. The mix- ture is seasoned taste and stirred in a pan over the fire until the eggs thicken. A fruit salad, after eggs served in this way--will make a complete summer luncheon.

Baked Potatoes.

Cut six medium-sized cold boiled, puta toes into thin slices. Heat two-table- spoonfuls of butter or three lices of bacon snipped into small pieces and one onion sliced in a frying pan. When smrk- ing put in the potatoes." Sprinkle with one half teaspoonful of salt and a little pepper and fry to nice golden brown. Then pour over the potatoes three well- beaten eggs, season further if necessary and let simmer until the eggs become firm.
