You must have heard often enough how

good massage is for your face. But if you haven't the time or the purse to go in for a course of facials at a beauty parlour maybe you have stopped listening.

First of all, sugar is a splendid pick-me-up. If you are feeling tired and, exhausted, dissolve a lump of sugar in a tumbler of hot water. It acts as a stimul- ant.

A little sugar added to the water In which green vegetables are boiled will Improve their colour without destroying the vitamins as so many water softeners do. Sugar also in- proves the flavour of boiled carrots, turnips, &c. Should soup be ac- cidentally over-salted, a little sugar stirred into it will counteract the flavour.

A layer of granulated sugar placed In the bottom of a biscuit tln will keep biscuita crisp, no matter now long they are stored, and a lump of sugar put in a metal tea- pot before putting it away will, pre- vent any musty flavour when it is used again.

Coloured

sugar for decorating cakes, puddings, &c., can be made cheaply and easily at home. Put the required amount of lumps in a basin and pour over them a few drops of cochineal or

any other similar dye. When the colour has soaked well through them, store the sugar in an air-tight tin. They can be grated with a nutmeg grater over enkes and sweeta:

In laundry work sugar is excel- lent for things that need slight slarching. A few lumps dissolved in the last rinsing water for Inces, muslins, and silks, gives just the right amount of stiffness for these fabrica.

A little sugar melted in liquid stove polish will result in a brilliant and lasting polish in half the time, and consequently with half the labour. If linoleum la getting shab- by, a few lumps of sugar added to the water when washing it will brighten up. the colours, add to its polish, and give it a now lease of Hfe.

A handful of coarse sugar in the water with which cane or wicker chairs are washed will help them to relain their polish, and also pre- vent them creaking when dry. An excellent method of cleaning dark onk furniture is to wash it with cold tea in which a little sugar has been dissolved. The tea Improves the colour, and the sugar is spion- did for removing the dirt.
