The stars go down To rise upon some other shore, And bright in heaven’s jewelled crown They shine for evermore. HAItHY BEAUTY FOR THE FLYING GIUL (By Iris Buburry.)

The girl who takes to the air must in addition to having hardy nerves, have hardy beauty, or cultivate it. Slu- will he subjected to very sudden changes of temperature, so if her skin is sensitive it will suffer severely. To keep the face hardy, whenever it is washed it should have a final rinsing with water that is only just tepid. If tile pores are slcak they must lie tightened up. First, they shell!,! be thoroughly cleansed by .steaming, or several applications of skin food. When all impurities have been removed an astringent lo'.ion must be applied. Greasy cream must only be applied sparingly, just when actually needoil—that will be when the skin is not ijuite as soft as usual. Powder may be f reely used: a light fine one is harmless. ’The toilet for th ( « flight, as fur as "aids" go, must be quite a simple oao. The face must he bathed with the astringent lotion, dried, and then the vanishing cream applet and the- touch of colourless lipstick to protect the lips from chilly air. After a flight, if any great extremes of temperature have been experienced. the face must not lie washed for several hours afterwards. If it is given any attention, skin food must he applied. It will both cleanse and refresh the skin. If. the face feels caught, plenty of cold cream must be rubbed in. This cream will quickly remove the uncoinfortable feeling and soon heal up the injured skin. It should be left upon tlie faee for a few minutes—. the longer th e better; then the excess gently removed with a very soft face-cloth, and finally u little toilet powder dusted on. A daily ey 0 bath of borae-ic lotion will keep the eyes fit. When these beauty aids are lacking a little milk will do admirably to bathe the eyes instead of the lotion, and will also fliake ail excellent substitute for the face cream. HOW TO STAY MARRIED FAMOUS JUDGE’S LIST OF DON’TS Judge Thomas F. Graham, famous in California as the “great reconciler,” owing to his success in the Divorce Courts in bringing estranged couples together, lias issued twenty warnings for girls and young men which, if heeded, ho declares, will materially diminish divorce. The warnings are as follows: Never marry a man who plays cards for money. Love for games of chance is almost certain to supplant all other loves, greater than love of home., wife, end children. Never marry a man who says he has no bad habits. He is pretty sure to Kay© a vice much worse than smoking or even drinking. Never marry a man your parents object to, unless your parents arc most unreasonable. It is Court history that 65 per cent, of all elopmenf- end in the divorce Courts. Neyer marry .a. nian who says he docs not care for children. He is via unnatural!, selfish man, and not to he trusted. Never marry a. man because he is a good dancer. Men who. have intelligent feet seldom have anything in their heads. Neyer marry a man who detests dogs. If you do, you will find he is incapable of loving anything.

Never marry a man who drinks on the sly. If ho is not fair and square on that subject he wild deceive you and cause you many a lie'art-break on other accounts. Never marry a man who speaks slightingly of your parents, or ot old people. He will neglect you when, you begin to become wrinkled and grey. Never marry turbid you are old enough to know what you are doing. Sixteen-year-old. brides too often are seventeen-year-old grass widows. Never marry a girl who lias 12Iywhite hands when her mother’s arc calloused and roughened by bard work. That girl will not be a good helpmate. Never marry a girl who wants you to take her to a “show” every night and, is never content to let you “sit up’’ with her in her own home. Never marry a girl who keeps her room or the sitting-room littered with signed photographs of former, or present sweethearts. She is a collector of heart throbs, and she will not stop flirting after she marries you. Never marry a girl who is ashamed of her parents and does not want you to meet them. Never marry a. girl 'whose only thought is clothes. Ifl that ik the calibre of her brain she will never 1m a real wife or mother. She will always be a clothes-hanger, and will keep you “brokeT* Never marry a girl who insists that you take her to places of amusement that are* beyond, your means. If she is so thoughtless before marriage she- will not bother about your financial affairs after marriage. Never marry a girl who is immodest in her dre*s. No man wants to blush because of his wife’s appearance, and a girl who \s slovenly and untidy will kill even the most ardent To vo. Never marry the promiscuous kisser. She will cause you lots of grief and heart pangs later oil. Never marry a girl much older than yourself: or many years younger. The difference in ages will cause many a. friction lafcey on, and friction h the harbinger of separation cases. Never mavrv a girl who is not fond of children. Childless homes, except in unusual cases, are not enduring. WHEN THEY ARE VERY YOUNG U*>.aulv born early lives late —if only parents would remember this and take the small amount of trouble that can make a pain child attractive Gaby beauty is so sadly neglected, vet every mother must wish her child to be beautiful, and numbers of miuor physical delects can be remedied. w.tli little or no discomfort, in the first years of life, that later can eradicate. Most of the treatment can be carried out by the mother or nurse at the cost of on! y little time and patience. Tiiiy noses, wh.Me the bone and cartilage are still soft and mallea.be, can bo gently moulded into' shape, where they tend to be too up-tilted or slightly askew, and if broad nostrils are gently pressed together at the end ofb eagli downward stroke, their tendency to spread soon disappear*Ears inclined to be over large and ill-shaped can be moulded flat to the head and the edges curled, and projecting ears are signs of parental carelessness. The hair should be washed regularly with yolk of egg, which feeds the scalp and induces a strong and plentiful growthEyes need special care, and a o.hild should never be allowed to look long at a light of' any kind, nor to stare over backwards, and partAularly never to watch anything dangling, such as a. toy affixed to a pram or cot cover. A fine brush dipped in olive oil can gently touch the rim of the eyelids, to ensure a. good growth of lashes to enhance- the beauty ofl the eyes, and can trace out a perfect, line for the brows. HANDWRITING PEN PORTRAITS If: you are in doubt as to your friend or fiance’s elm-ae'er. says an overseas journal, study his handwriting. Invariably it is a certain guide to his real self, a pen portrait of his nature. Here are a few rules to help you. Handwriting which lias a tendency to ascend across the page generally m ans that the writer is ambitious, energetic, and will probably succeed in whatever lie undertakes. 111-

lieaUli, melancholy, and, perhaps, mb fortune- may b e shown in the writing that descends across the page. Should tlie writing be thick and heavy, showing an abundance of thick up-and-down strokes, it indicates a -sensuous nature allied with a love of beauty and imagination. Considerable insight in'o character can he obtained from a careful study of the finals of the fast letter of each word. .Should they not be raised, but elongated, so taking up space between the words, prodigality is indicated. Terminations which stop soon after turning up indicate a sense of economy. WHITE SKINS Peeling, patchiness and roughness are after-effects of sun-tanning which will not accord with the modish complexion of the autumn, which :<s to be lily white. Even nails, arc to lose their 1 blood-red tint and go hack to a mother-of-pearl shade or what i<s known as “tender coral,” we are told by a. Loudon writer. .Consequently pastes and waterproof creams to apply before sunbathing are much in demand, for women want to be able to bask in the sun, but to escape the logical effects. TO CLEANSE THE SKIN Here is a. valuable beauty hint : Give the face a thorough massage with cold cream, then remove after an hour or more with a soft cloth or cleansing tissue. For the once a week massage, have a. small piece of ire, and run this over the face. Then finish with a bleach ol equal /parts of peroxide and glycerine, to which a few drops of benzoin have been added. GREEN ROSES An Essex lady grows green roses in her garden. They are small—smaller than usual this year, she say*.—but fragrant, and they make a charming and uncommon buttonhoi*. GOOD BUSINESS From a novelette: “When she saw the great beauty specialist Pamela’s face fol.” No doubt she then had it lifted. WHEN SCISSORS GO WRONG A pair of sharp scissors in the home is a necessity. And yet many housewives ill-treat tlieir scissors without knowing i* Firfc, never dip your scissors into hot water with tlie idea of making them cut better. The action of the hot water is sure to spoil the temper oO the steel in times. And when tins happens, the blades never retain a keen edge for many days together. Likewise, never keep your l scissors exposed to strong sunlight. It spoils the cutting edge of the blades. 9
