A Pretty Sight.

Ladies have eyes ed
ucated to good taste in
dress, and their atten-
ton is not wholly con-
fined to their own out

styles for men, and
they know when a suit

in fit. Wilmington la

verdict that our cloth

that they regard the

tRTINC FROM NECESSITY.
unInriting Rounds OF Life or tho Ordinary

How many of us really and truly sit
down at the table, and, as we should,

St. Louis Globe Democrat. Eat to en-

How to Wash Dishes.

A writer in domestic journal gives
some good advice on the subject about
which the women folks have no doubt
troubled their heads more than about
any other connected with their duties.
One of the most wearsome domestic
tasks which falls to the housewife do
inc her own work is the ..never-ending,
still beginning" washing of dishes. 1t
is often real pleasure 10 prepare a
dainty palatable meal; II wcll-earned
satisfaction in viewing the work of
ones hands in the light, sweet loaves
of white or brown bread, the roast of
flesh or fowl, done to a turn. the per-
feet cake, quiyering custards, etc. But
no one of these toothsome yiands can
De brought to pass without the aid or
various pans. spoons, cups, etc, all to
be clcansed for perhaps immediate use
again. They must be washed by hand
already wcary-for modern invention,
fertile rs it is, has not yet, to my
knowledge, produced an automatic
dish-washcr and dryer 1t is discour-
aging, and few things sooner bring the
tired housckccpcr's spirit down to
zero Especially if the mercury has al
ready gone down to that poinD than a
kitchcn-table full of sticky, greasy,
anwashcd dishes greeting her as she
rises from breakfast or dinner, and in
addition to the dishes used upon the
family table. A very great help is to
wash rs you 90, have your pan, with
hot water and cloth handy, on the
table, and rs fast rs you dish articles
from the stove or range wash the cook
ing vessel. Rinse out frying pans,
kettles, etc, with very hot water to
take off the grease. Chain dishcloths
readily take of whatever sticks 20 the
sides of the stew-pans or pots, or Il
common clam shell may answer the
same purpose. As nearly aGl cooking
utensils are more easily washed when
warm, washing as You go saves time
for the dining-room work after the
meal, besides setting the kitchen soon
er in order. Keep several thick hold
ers near the stove, TO save your hands
(and towels) in lifting hot kettles and
pans Never take hold of these will

that important kitchen appliance en-
tirely free from pot black and grease
BY taking some simple precautions tht
cooking vessels can be washed will
almost rs much ease at your chini
service. BY having your pan and no
water ready You may sit down Il
breakfast or dinner with the sense o
relief that the kitchen things are ou
of the way until next time.

He was interviewed by u Republican

The Boston Woman and her Dog.

A wealthy Boston woman went
abroad in the spring, accompanied by
her pet dog and Il couple OF maids, one
to attend to him and one to look after
the secondary matter Of the comfort OF
the mistress, But alas. even pet dogs
can not live forever, and the end or
this pampcrcd CANNES career came in
Paris. His mistress was well-nigh
hcartbroken. 1t seemed 10 her particu-
larly cruel that Eido, or whatever his
precious name may have been, should
have been forced to meet his end far
from his native land and the four-legged
friends with whom he had always been
in snarling disaccord. She vowed
that at least his ashes should rest in
his native soil. She had q beautiful
! casket made, and cutting short her
visit abroad she started for America
with the rer aims of her favoritc, utter
| " prostrated by her bereavement
! which had come to her. All went
| smoothly until Boston was reached,
! and thea the custom house officer IN
/ sisted upon examining the contents OF
! Fido's coffin. 1t was afterward dis
| covered that the lady's maid had on
the voyage quarrc2ed with the other
! servant, and had gwen them the hlnU
upon which they acted. The lady
| protested, implored and threatened,
all in vain The officers were firm
and the dogs attendant was forced to
produce the keys of the casket. Amid
the lady's indignant protests at THU
rude violation of her darling's last
rest the coffin was opened and fount
TO be full of lace, gloves. and other
feminine fripperies. The maid had
heartlessly disposed of the sacred re-
mains of Fido and used his casket rs a
cover for various trilles upon which
she had a feminine indisposition to
pay duty. The rage of the mistress
beggars description and must be left
to the imagination. She wept and
stormed, discharging with much i'm
partialtv. both her servants on the
spot. Bat life has its consultations.
She is already half way out of mourn
ing for Fido; she has two new maids
and a new dog, the last duly adorned
