Put Life Into Your Work.

4 young mans interest and duty both
dictate that he should make himself in
dispensable to his employers. He
should be so industrious, prompt and
careful that the accident of his tempor-
airy absence should be noticed by his
being missed. a young man should
make his employer his friend, By doing
faithfully and minutely all that IL in
trusted TO him. It Is great mistake TO
be over nice and fastidious about work.
Pitch in readily and your willingness
will be appreciated, while the "high-
toned" young man who bubbles about
what it is and what it Is not his place
10 do, will get the cold shoulder. There
is q story that George Washington once
helped TO roll a log that one OF his cor
porals would not handle, and the great
est emperor OF Russia worked Mt ship
wright in England-to learn the busi-
ness. That's Just what you want TO do.
Be energetic, look and act with alacrity.

cess, work as though the business was
your own and let your employer know
that he may place absolute reliance in
your word and On your act. Be mind
ful; have your mind on your business.

but with alarrity and cheerfulness, and
remember that while working thus for
others you arc laying the foundation OF
your own success In life.

not al ways convenient to postpone the

any other large white pieces which are

smaller pieces in an unused room up.
stairs, when the rest may be usually
disposed of by hanging at night on lines

ana pull them carefully when putting
on the lines. Then pull and fold when
dry, and put under press instead of
ironing. Unless care is taken TO see
that the clothespins and clothesline are
kept clean, ugly spots and streaks will
result. The lines should never be left
out over night, unless it is necessary in
order to dry them after being caught in
shower. In such case they should be
wiped with a cloth before the clothes
are again hung on them. A Switchboard
for ironing is n necessity in every we'll

up in a rag to rub on the irons. The
polish on collars, ETC., done up at large
laundries is given by means of a polish
ing iron and by dint of much rubbing.
1t may be done by any good laundress,
but takes much time and is fearfully
hard on the linen. Spermaceti added in
small quantities to the starch gives n
pretty gloss. If the clothes are not aired
in the laundry before bringing them up
stairs it should be thoroughly done
before they are put away. Flannels
should never be worn within the week
after they are washed. The seeds of
many fatal consumption or attack of
pneumonia have been sown by wearing
damp clothing. Every garment should
be mended before it is put away. But
tons and strings may be sewed on at
once, and the single stitch, which taken
in time saves nine, may also be set as
the clothes are sorted. Larger Jobs OF
mending should be placed in drawer
or basket by themselves, and the work
done as soon as possible. II fallowed to
accumulate, the weekly mending will
soon assume formidable proportions; !;
whereas, if done regularly every week
it will rarely be more than the task of a
forenoon.

Fashion Notes.

Parasol costumes are the last freak of
fashion.
Pearl hats are fashionable; the brims
are very narrow.
Irides cent head embroideries on Jet
continue in high fashion.
Red balayeuses are worn by girls and
women of the period.
Boquess are worn to match upon the
corsage and in the hair.
Red makes n better accessory than n
component part CT a costume.
Black parasols are made very dressy
with iridescent bead embroideries.
The full sleeve gathered into n wide
cuff at the wrist is revived for house
dresses.
New overskirts are short apron fronts
with long plain backs without drap-
cry.
Ribbons ale very wide; the sash
widths are often used for trimming
round hats.
Handkerchief suits. with umbrellas to
match, are pretty. effective and luxuri-
Gus novelties.
Embroidery is preferred to lace for
trimming young girls white muslin
dresses this summer.
+. Calico and percale suits. with um-
brellas to match, are sold under the
name of parasol costumes.
The new colors in silks, ribbons and
howers are Indian red. Antwerp blue,
bronze. citron and biscuit.
Rows Of small daisies are use to bead
the Breton and Languedoc laces which
trim evening dresses.
Light and white undressed kid gloves
having six and eight buttons are worn
fashionably this season for full dress.
Some silly old women are wearing
pretty white muslin parasol hats, such
as young girls affect for garden and
lawn parties.
Gentlemen favor the leopard pattern,
dots on hose, handkerchiefs scarfs, col
lars and cuffs, and even dotted under
ware Is fashionable.
IN cambrics may be found a hand
some variety of picturesque effects.
Some of the bordered patterns are re-
markably showy, the colors being the
brightest that fashion ever massed to-
gether.
All gloves are less expensive than for
many years. Cotton gloves come as
elaborately made In open-work and silk
stitching as the Lisle thread and are fre-
quently imposed upon the ignorant by
careless statesmen.
Lisle thread gloves are much more
elastic, thinner, and when placed beside
the cotton the difference Il discernible.
They are embroidered and plain, some
OF them are open-worked nearly to the
elbow; Others have elastic bands at the
wrist.
