Dress of Russian women.

Morocco leather caps, brilliant with gold
thread in fantastic patterns; shoes Of the
common variety, made of the softest of
leather and lined with silk and down; slip
pers, gems in themselves, of silk and Rus
sian and Turkish leather, with an endless
variety Of quaint patterns worked out in
gold and silver, and Illuminated with gems.
These are some of the features one notes Of
the Russian women's dress. 1t is all color
and warmth and comfort. The peasant
women run TO color, and the more varied
effect Of costume, in point of different
shades, the better they seem to like it,

Mrs. Astoria Pet Charity.

When Mrs. William Aston gave the Can
Ger hospital to the suffering poor of the
metropolis she created for herself a thank
full nook in every citizens heart. 1t was
her own gift. She personally appointed
the board of trustees and visiting physi-
clans, and no matter how pressing social af-
fairs may be she never misses her Wednes-
day call with her sweet floral gifts and
her dainty delicacies. Every year when re-
pairs are necessary she furnishes the funds
to Go the work and makes up what may
be lacking to balance the expense accounts.

Red Lead for Reaches.

Many years ago lived in Virginia and
experienced my first real misery as house
keeper. I had never before seen reaches.
Invisible during the day, no sooner had
the night time arrived than they mustered
by thousands into the deserted kitchen.
The walls were back with them. They
penetrated into the barrels of flour and
meal in spite Of every precaution. They
ran over dishes in the pantry, and it was
never safe to use one without scalding
with hot water, else the food placed on it
was sure to be spoiled. / tried every rem
edy could hear OF, and was always in
quiring. They seemed to fatten on my
poisons; at least their numbers did not suf-
fer diminution.
One day took up an old almanac and
idly turned its tattered yellow pages, and
on the last fragment Of leaf came
upon this: Equal portions of corn meal
and red lead mixed with molasses and
spread on plates will destroy reaches"
And it did. l put it in several dishes and
set them On the floor and at o'clock stole
softly out to see if they ate it. The dishes
were so covered with reaches that the
mixture was scarcely visible. The next
night there were fewer at the feast. And
in a week not a roach was seen. / lived
seven years thereafter in the same house
and never saw one.-Cor. Good House

which she accomplished in little more than

guineas, and the lady Miss Pond.

Bran Water WIN Clean Curtains.

The soft, pretty Madras curtains which
lend themselves so readily to graceful
effects are discarded by some housekeepers
because they are SO readily soiled, and, it
is supposed, are not easily cleansed. Bran
water without soap is perfect bath for
these draperies. Use wooden pailful of
bran to a wash boiler of water Let it boil
half an hour or more, strain part of it, and
use for washing the curtains; let the rest
continue to boil, then strain it and use for
rinsing water Shake the wrinkles out of
the curtains as much as possible and hang
them up to dry.

Where Should She Sing?

Which is better-to sing well at home
and in your friends parlors, or to be a
public singer of mediocre ability? Does
not the question answer itself? Medioc-
rity is never desirable. Good public sing
ers are scarce, and, although good parlor
singers are far from usual, the possibility
of an increase in their number is rather
more to be expected A girl who can sing
well at home, unless she possess unusual
talent, voice of more than ordinary
beauty, and be in a position to receive the
best of instruction, will do well to remain
there.
By parlor singing, too, singers roper
toire may be extended, and as good singer
should adopt more than one style, if able
to do so, this is most desirable. Ballad
singing, which is so successful in parlors,
loses as much of it's effectiveness when
transplanted to the stage as do the arias
and more ford examples of concert and OPP
cratic music if removed from their proper
environment. A good parlor singer can DO
the former work perhaps better than the
average public singer, but the good public
singer should be able to sing both styles of
music equally well.-Mlle. Clementine de
We're in Ladies' Home Journal.

A Timely Word on Long Engagements.
The sort of courtship that goes on for
hours behind closed doors, that insists
upon seclusion and resents third person,
that thinks first of the beloved object and
not at all of any one else-this, may do
for a six weeks intermission between
maidenhood and marriage; but long en-
gagements should be conducted on radi-
cally different lines. Was there ever a
dearer sweetheart than Lorna Doone,
whose maidenly reserve allowed John
Ridd one kiss a day, and no spooning
whatever.
And do you remember Mary Garth, so
true to her not-any-too-e eligible Fred, and
yet so strait and strict with herself? En-
gagged or not, she must surely have been a
welcome companion in any house, Fred Or
no Fred. And again that dame in silver
gray who married John Halifax-be sure
that her betrothal was modest and IN
selfish one.
Lace yourself straitly, Mistress Lucy,
and encourage Colin to understand that
while you stay under the patefnal roof the
obligations of that shelter are on you, and
forbid you to concentrate all your courte.y
on single guest.-Scribner's

The working girls clubs are different
from the Working Women's society, which
has for its object the raising of women's
wages. The clubs seek to teach her to
make the most of the wages she has. The
Thirty-eighth Street Working Girls club
of New York is honored as the pioneer. 1t
has 26S members. 1t is the outgrowth of a
cooking class started by Miss Grace Dodge
1t has spread until Miss Dodge is now
president of an association of working
girls clubs which represents 10, 900 women.

The well bred, well read American lady,
be she girl or woman, requires only the
protection which her own refinement and
common sense provide from the men of her
nation and needs the intervention of No
chaperon to insure respectful demeanor.
In fact, the chaperon institution is consid-
cred by many cultured people an Insult to
the true womanhood of the American girl
and to the honor of her fellow men.

ALL HANDS PAID OFF.

Armstrong Bros. g. Co.'s Locked-Out Cork
workers Renew Their Position.
The locked-out cork workers of Armstrong
Bros. & Co. were paid of yesterday and were
told that their union woull not be recog-
nized in the future. The employees held a
meeting last night ana voted unanimously
to stand firm. Everyone pledged them
selves not 10 go to work Monday, when the
firm says the works will start, except as
union workers.
A member OF the firm said yesterday that
they expected to resume operations on Mon-
day with at least 200 hands, This fact was
stated to one of the workers last night. He
laughed and said: 1.-The only evidence of
weakness that ever was noticeable In our ranks
was among a few of our unskilled workers.
There was not dozen of them altogether
and most Of them were women. Thev are
all right now and not one of them will 90 to
work Monday morning. OF course, if the
firm saws we can go back as a union all
right, we viii be at work, but under no
other consideration. The firm must make
the first andvanees now. Their bluff
about moving the factory will not have the
desired effect on our people,
