HER GLORY BOX.

Tho very excellent idea'of presenting a girl child with a dower chest on one of her earliest birthdays is gaining greatly in popularity (says-.an English writer). Mothers both in England and America aro following a Continental example. Great is- tho self-respect a * young girl gains by reason of a few , really good personal belongings. If from / tho timo she is an infant pieces of good • /* house and table linen aro from time I to time put away for her, she arrives \ at years of discretion .with a very good stockito which sho may add by lier owii) industry. Beautiful linen, and embroideries and tho wonderful laces, that "belong" in tho best house linens aro things that never go out of fashion. A recent brido is at present using round table cloths with scalloped edges which were placed in her dower chest more than twenty years ago. Iler bed linen is supplemented with.delightful hemstitched sheets, and hand towels borr dered with cross stitch aro among her treasures. She has tablo, runners and sideboard cloths which not ' only showbeautiful stitchery, but will last a lifetime, and n Mock of hemstitched and monogrammed linen finger napkins that pivo her table an air of distinction. Tho dower chest in question is of blackwood, a squat affair, containing four drawers —just such a linen chest as remains a joy for cyer to any homo-loving woman. The fact that many girls do not marry constitutes an even .greater reason for the adoption of tho dower chest. Ilomo is the anchor of practically every woman, and whether that home is in one room or.fen intimate personal belongings aro practically the making of it. The French girl with even n little "dot," tho Gorman girl with her store of household treasures, and tho Irish colleen with her half-dozen sheep, or pigs i* n much more independent and consequently harpy individual lhan the girl who has nothing put by.

FRECKLES AND SUNBURN, Freckles are much darker in summer than in winter. Tho deeper colour is duo to tho moo intenso action of tho summer sun. Tho freckles, sallowness, redness, coarseness, and .brownncss of tho skin , which tho sun visits upon tho complexion will becomo but too apparent upon your face, unless you nro determined to safeguard your complexion against such troubles. Tho only scientific and ofi'cctivo method of removing frecklos is accomplished b\ VALAZE ■ Valnze, by its own wonderful propertics, and even unaided by .massage. sinks into tho■ deepest layers of tho skin, revives, exhilarates, Iced*, dears it oi all impurities and discoloration, and beautifies it as no other preparation has done. This explains why no freckle, wrinkle, crow's-foot, or any skin blemish exists on tho skill which is fed by Valaze.
