A HINT FOR THE SPORTS GIRL.
The palms are apt to be hard from the after effects of blisters caused by sport. Soak these in hot oatmeal water for five minutes and then work in a little vaseline for another five. Repeat the treatment every' other day till the hands are soft again. Sometimes midge or mosquito bites leave ugly* scars which are very disfiguring. These should be shown to a doctor, who can usually mitigate them. Teeth require the greatest care from the time they are cut, and the wise woman will pay' periodical visits to her dentist, if she should have them last as long as possible. They should be cleaned at least twice a day', always at night, and after each meal if they are to be kept immaculate. It is best, with a view to keeping the teeth both clean and white, to use a good dental cream alternately with a tooth powder; this latter should not be too gritty or it may scratch the enamel of the teeth.
