Letters To Homely Girls. No. Iii

Judcus dressing has very much to do wilh the appearance of a honiely jrirl. A red-headed jrirl should not wear purple, or red, or biiuht blue or green. Brown i is alwuys safe, so is black, but it will not be so becoming to freokled f.icea. A very pule blue, or a iiavy blue, or a very dark green, or a bufl' muy be worn. But a soft warm brown will be fouud the best Let everything match; dress, wrapping and bonnet, or hat trimming and gloves. Many a honiely girl makes the mistnke of dressing too conspicuously, instead of hiding ugliuess it only culis utention to it. Stylishness Is not open to any objections, and one can be stylish on a very small amount of money. The present is an excellent time to buy fall goods. Last spring's goode are offered at very low rates, and It is always safe to buy ladies' cloth or flnnnel in brown, gray-drab or beige shades. Now, at the milliners, select tips or plumes, or velvet flower8, to match or contrast with the cloth, and lay thern away until the lirst of September, wlien the fashion plates will teil you how to make up your goods. Round-shouldered women should never wear any trimmings over the shoulders, it does not hide, only incrcases the detormity, but any one who is determined can break herself of the habit by following the directions in the July number. The care of the hands is of itnportaDce; every lady should have a nail brush, and one of the little cleaners and polishers, made of bone, and furnished with a little file and a bit of chamois skin; these implements are sold for a dime. The flesh sbould b ■ kfipt pughed down at the base of the nail so as to give a long nail showing a white half-moon. For rough red hands, the Italian medicated soap is the best I have ever seen; constant use leaves the hands soft and white. Ohapped hands are bealed very qulckly. Watts can be very easily got rid of by riibbing the juice of the common milkweed or boiled cottou on theni, a few applicatiens causing them to dissapear. Moles should be removed by a surgeon ; it is not a pain tul operatinn nor one to !; dreaded. I have had i great many letters from ladies with regard to the dppilatory I spoke of in my flrst letter. I have received a letter the past week frmn a lady who has a very stubborn moustache; two bottles regularly used, entlrely removed tlie huir. She commenced using the depilutorv about two years ago. Sallow girls, of costive habit, should regúlate the matter while fruit s ai e stil 1 plenty. A dish of sliced tumxtoes, with pounded ice scattered over them, is quite appetizing on a hot morning and taken regularly, will have the effect of calóme] on the liver. Meions before breakf ist; peaches, pears, grapes, and all socts ol fruits are good at breakfast. Tlirough the wlntt-r, wheu fruits are not to bu h id, eat a baked apple at every breakfast. I know a person who cured herself of longstanding dyspepsia, by living for nerly a year on brown bread, rare beef and baked apples. Now she can eat anythiug tliuugh I don't think she indulges very oftcii in minee pies, plum puddings or fruit cake?. Persons troubled with acidity of the stomnch, often rcceive bentlit from ptn tin tí lime water in drink. To make it, put a lump the slze of an egg Into a quart of water in a jar. As long as there is a scum on it, it is good; put a large spoonful in a glass of water, cup of tea or coffee or glass milk ; it cunnot be tasted, and will be tound to be excellent wlien theie is not enough alkali in the stomach.
