APPLYING- FACE POWDER,

Do you know how to apply face powder? The question is raised because of the prevalence of (he habit of starting oil with a liberal dab of powder on nose and cheek-bones.

It is most important that the nose should be done last, and should be as inconspicuous as possible upon that prominent organ.

.Start powdering at the lower cheeks and gently blend powder toward centre of face.

Rub lightly with the powder puff into the tiny lines around eyes, nose, mouth and chin, assuring a completely powdered surface. The next step is to free the puff from most of its powder; then proceed to gently remove any surplus, to give the make-up "a soft and even finish. With a well chosen powder, applied in the manner described, you arc assured of a satin-smooth finish that will last for hours.

APRICOT CREAM.

One pint milk, ;{oz gelatine, 2 eggs, 11b apricot pulp, 1 teaspoonful vanilla, juice of one lemon, cochineal to colour. Make a custard with the eggs and milk. Dissolve the gelatine iu a little cold water and stir into the hot custard. Rub the stewed apricots through a sieve, adding a little water if' too thick. Stir into the custard, adding the vanilla and lemon juice, the cream and the colouring. Place in a wetted mould. When set, turn out and serve with whipped cream.

He who waters meadow* lilies With the dew from out the sky, He who feeds the fleeting sparrows When in need of food they cry, Never fails to help His children In all things both great and small, for His ■car is ever open To our faintest far off call.

FUN.

It was a day of blistering heat; no rain had fallen for months. The “cocky” was “hilling” a few stalks of corn. .The traveller stopped. He leaned on the fence and said: “Pretty yeller corn that.” “Veh,” drawled the farmer. “I sowed yeller corn.”

A pause. “You won’t get much oIV it—about half a crop,” said the stranger. “That’s all right. I’m farming on the halves.” The stranger stared hard. “Not much diirorm.ee between you and a, fool, is there! “Only the fence,” said the farmer, and went on lulling corn<
