FOR THE EYE OF WOMAN
Feminine Fancies, Fads and Foolishness
My Dearie.
My dearie is a little one, with arms around me
twining—
With eyes like woodland violets, and tresses
briglitly shining;
And what care I for golden store: if Fortune has j
not found me,
Am I not rich with such a rare, sweet necklace j
clasped around me?

Women Use Shaving Soap.
Daily encroaching and usurping
man s belongings, woman lias
found at last a use for shaving
soap. As a complexion beaut ifier
she pronounces jt par excellence
and highly recommends it, to a
place on the fair sex toilet tattle.
The discovery of the value to
femininity was made by a trained
nurse, “and the story runneth
thus
She had a patient whose eom
plexion had become ruined by a
protracted fever. None of the
ordinary treatments seemed to be
able to restore her complexion.
One day the nurse heard the
sick woman’s husband telling
how soft and pliable shaving soap
made the skin. Forthwith she
decided to try shaving soap oil
her patient’s face. patient’s
First, she bathed the
face in warm water and the soap
lather; the water was as warm as
was comfortable to bear. She
rubbed gently, although thor¬
oughly. After the application of
the soap she rinsed oil the lather
wit It warm water. Then began a
series of rinsings, every one a
little cooler than the preceding,
Gradually she worked up to cold
water, and the face had a bracing
dose of it, a stimulating dash
that closed the pores and toned
up t he skin for the day. Little
by little the flabbiness disap¬
peared and the face grew firmer,
While the tonic of the water
brought a new rosiness to it.
The system proved such a sue
ness that the nurse and the pa
tient both spread it as far as they
could reach, and now any number
of women are giving themselves,
the treatment every night to rid
the face of the day’s dust and
powder.

New Hat Saved Her Life.
Mrs. Buhl, of Sharon, Pa.,
probably owes her life to the fact
that she wore a new hat with a
very large roll of velvet on it the
other day. She slipped on an icy
pavement and fell heavily, her
head striking. But the big roll
of velvet made a cushion that
prevented serious injury. She
was momentarily stunned. A
doctor says that but for the new
hat her skull would probably
have been fractured.
