EPISODE Ill.

One morning Alfred Swinburne Cottle,
considerably TO his own surprise, found
himself in a condition of self-conscious-
ness. He opened his eyes and looked at
the bed wonderfully. Then he gozed
around the room. He did not understand
why he was in bed. He tried TO raise his
head, but, much TO his establishment,
found that be was too weak. His eyes
iell upon the medicine bottles on the table
beside him.

thought.

A San Francisco MiIIionaire's
Dauo hter,

Jennie Flood, daughter of the mil
ionaire, was not so great loss to
Buck" Grant after all, if, as we are
told. she refused his proffered atten-
ton. The St Louis Globe Democrat
says of her:
She is not a young woman who
would be sought for her charms of
mind or face. She looks like a we'll
settled matron of 10, having large,
full, fat face, with heavy features, and
she adds to her mature appearance by
brushing her hair straight back from
her face, and doing it up in the simple
and severely plain style affected by
housewives of 80 years ago. When
she appears at parties or the opera in
full dress, she is even homelier than in
street dress, as decollete dress and
light colors do not harmonic with her
sanguine complexion and over-full
figure. She has $4,000, 600 in her own
right, but she is said to be penurious in
her tastes and to look closely after
every dollar that she spends. Her sell
fish character is very plainly betrayed
by her action at the last seasons Ital-
ian opera, when Patti and Scalchi
created so great Juror here. Miss
Jennie occupied conspicuous position
every night in the front of proscenium
box; she wore a different costume
nightly, and she always carried huge
bouquet as large around as the bottom
of bucket This she displayed
throughout the evening as a sort of foil
to her blazing diamonds, but no lyric
flights of Diva Patti, and no soul
stirring strands OF Scalchi's noble voice
moved her cold nature to throw her
bouquet as tribute to genius.

Not on the Bills.

1t was at country hotel in Pennsyl-
vania. The single stranger who sat
down to dinner was amazed when the
waiter handed him printed bill offare
which began with oyster soup and
clam chowder and ran down to four
kinds OF pie and chocolate ice-cream.
'Pll take oyster soup" said the
guest.
Yes, but we haven't got any," re-
piled the waiter.
Very well, give me clam chowder."
1--WE are out of that, toe"
Then bring me baked whitefish,
fried sausage, Saratoga potatoes, French
wheat rolls, ribs of beef, or cup of
coffee.
1--WE haven't got any. sir. All we've
got is beeisteak, bid taters. and ba-
kers bread, and coffee"
At that moment the landlord entered
the room, and the guest called out:
.hSee here, landlord, but what sort
of trick is this?"
.What? 0, that bill of fare. Ny dear
sir, let Ice explain. My uncle kept n
seaside hotel, and he failed. He had
$4,000 bills of fare on hand, and |
bought them at private sale for 50.
These are hard times-very hard-and
we must utilize everything, and keep
up style at the same time. PhitadeL-

Cleaning Costly Fabrics.

a careless waiter, or an accident, at
the dinner table may cause the appa-
rent ruin of laces, silks or yelvets worth
large sums of money. Ii the lady tries
to clean them herself she makes mat
tiers worse, and makes it impossible
for the professional cleaners to do any
thing with them afterward. These
cleaners have peculiar methods in rem
oVating these delicate fabrics, and
many of them they will not reveal, as
they are secrets of their trade.
The treatment of fine laces,n said
a cleaner, lis an expensive and trouble
some process. A thick blanket of soft
rags is sewed around the bottle, and
on this the lace is pinned. 1t is quite
impossible to rub lace, as it would tear
it to pieces. The bottle is then placed
IN bath of soapy.warm water. After
soaking for twenty minutes it is boiled
for some time and then allowed to
cool. 1t is dipped in several baths of
clear water, until the soap seems to be
removed. The lace is then removed
from the bottle, and after part of the
water is driven out by gentle pressure
it is hung up to dry.
AFTER time it is laid on soft cloth
to dry still more. When still slightly
damp it is placed on a hair cushion
covered with flannel, and is fastened
there with lace pins. This is a work
of skill and patience. A pin is passed
through each loop and twist is given
before the pin is fastened. Sometimes
the loop is drawn straight and some
times not, the operator seeking to fol-
low the original design of the lace.
When quite dry the lace is sponged
with weak solution of gum arabic,
and, when dry again, it is almost as
good as new.
1.-The method of cleansing velvet is
secret. 1t can be greatly freshened by
steaming it over boiling water, care
being taken to expose the wrong side
of the velvet to the steam; but this is
useful only where the damage is not
very great. | can tell you only that
the process is dry one and chalk is
used il it. Velvet that has been wet
is hard 10 treat, but we have been able
to do wonders with it.
lit is a very common thing for &C
tresses to bring elaborate silk and satin
costumes to be renewed, and we also
have many fine ball dresses. We do
not take them apart, but cleanse them
as they are. They are first dipped in
bath of naphtha, and this removes
ink, champagne and many other stains.
Then they 60 into bath of pure ben
zine, which takes out all the grease.
They are softly rubbed in these baths,
and any spots remaining are treated
with oXalic acid. They are rnsed out
in warm water and dried over steam
coils. To iron them would harden the
silk and make it shiny, so it is run
over steam rolls or ironed between fan
nels. We have ironers whose business
is to iron dresses, and when they are
finished dress looks like new. Mildew
is removed by oXalic acid
