will you please answer the following questions /:
What is meant by the free and unlimited coin

Does it mean all the silver in the world 2-B.

three quarters of yard wide, and are gathered
to deep cuffs or to bands of ribbon or insertion.

Baby-ribbon run through beading Is used for
trimming Summer dresses. Collars, cuff bands,
and belts are made of it. The beading comes
in two grades-one a little heavier than the
other, and therefore more suitable for some
materials. Sometimes several different colors,
all of very light, delicate shades are used to-
gether very prettily. Heavy lace or insertion
used In yokes and deep cuffs also has ribbon
run through it.
Dotted Swiss is pretty trimmed in ruffles Of
the goods edged with very narrow Yaenci-
ennes lace.
Organizes and lowered lawns make up pref
lily with ribbons to match the flower. Two or
three bands around the skirt, two on the belt
several on the deep cuffs. and some on the col
lar, or Outlining tuo uTpIlCe Ut EOuuueu NECK,
are needed. When the ribbons end in square
little bows they have a more finished effect,
although many people prefer the palmer style.

Plain, rather wide-brimmed straw sailor hats,
trimmed with ribbon band tied in fiat bow at
the side, are found in the shops in all colors,
nearly, and are much liked by the girls.

Roses and pansies are in their glory now.
The roses require, if they have long stems. tall
vases to show off their entire beauty, although
some with short stems fill bowl gracefully. 1t
is said of pansies as of roses, that if the buds
be thinned out the blossoms will be finer and
larger.

Some women are better packers than others.
In spite of the broadness of this statement, 1t
can be satisfactorily proved. One woman
claims that the best way is to roll everything
reliable up into tight bundles, and then pack
these as tightly as possible; but the woman
who goes at it in q more scientific way puts all
of the shoes, books, and boxes, and things of
that Sort in the bottom, and then folds evory-
thing to the length of the trunk, tapping over
the extra length, and beginning the next piece
where the last one left off. Proceeding in this
way, when she has her trunk packed, there is
a lightness and springiness, lacking if packed
according to the other method. Also 1t results
In less wrinkles, although more or less wrinkles
there must always be, and generally it Is more.
g"
A new way to trim organdies. which many
will recognize as another old fashion revived,
is to make double ruffle and shrr it carefully
through the middle. 1t makes a very pretty
finish for gowns.
Crackers that have stood a long time can DO
made crisp and dry by putting them in the
oven and keeping close watch that they only
dry and do not burn.

Strawberries that are clean and fresh can be
served for break fast with the bulls aud stems
on. Have at each place little cup or plate OF
pulverized sugar. The berries are dipped In
the sugar and eaten with the fingers. This Is
French style and very delightful one.
sss
Pale yellow channels skin gloves Will be worn
q great deal this Summer They are thick and
can be washed. In drying them it is well to
keep them on the hands until they are dry
enough to come off easily without stretching
the leather. They arc washed on the hands,
too, using good soap and slightly warmed
water and rinsng carefully. White gloves are
also popular, and like the chamois ones can be
washed very satisfactorily.

A recruit Of Highland regiment which was

The work would be pretty on felt, using light

Mothers should be careful In laying babies
down that the delicate little ears are neither
crumpled nor pressed forward. Their natural
position is fat against the head. or nearly so,
and often the big, outspreading, or bcut-over
ears are the direct result of tboughtlessness on
the mothers part in regard to this matter.
The prevention is simple, but it means quite
an addition of grace and beauty to the child.

Midy Morgan, prominent woman, for q
number of years livestock reporter on the
New York papers, an excellent judge of stock,
particularly of horses, died June 1, and stories
of her eyentful life and her rather eccentric
manners are eagerly sought after and read.
One of the most interesting commissions that
ahe ever had was the one given her by Victor
Emanuel of Italy, who asked her to purchase
for him six Irish mares After finding and
purchasing the six animals satisfactorily, she
started back with them. On the way she met
with many mishaps, but nothing seriously in
terfered with her, and when Italy was reached
the mares were in good condition except they
were rather thin. So pleased was the King
with the beautiful creatures that he gave Miss
Morgan special reward, magnificent watch
set with diamonds.

White lilac is a favorite perfume.

It is said that bangs are more popular than
ever because Mrs. Montagu wears her hair
brushed straight back from her face, adding to
her cold and harsh appearance. Her cruel
punishment of her little one, and the death Of
the child, have aroused feeling of greatresent-
ment against the woman, but that is queer
reason for adopting style.

A Giving Library" is tho name for new
form of charitable entertainment that can be
made as jolly as it is profitable. 1t requires
very little labor, but great deal of interest
on the part of the workers. Halfheartedness
does not pay in this at all. The young ladies
who are to take the book" parts generally
try to be as we'll posted as possible on their
volume, and as the library consists of standard
and recent popular works there is not much
exertion needed. They dress, if possible, to
suggest the title of the book, or its main
character. This is not necessary though. A
sum to be charged for a certain length Of time
is decided upon-say 10 cents for a quarter of
an hour The Librarian has to give out the
cataogs, which, of course, contain list of
books in the library, though not necessarily
the names of the young ladies who take the
different volumes. When certain book is
called for she draws the curtain and the young
lady steps out. Then she must keep tally of
each book and see that the borrower is notified
when his time is up. There are some rules
which must be made and stuck to. One that
"books" must be returned at the end of the
time. No book shall be given out two times
in succession. If book " is kept out over
time fine of one cent minute is charged,
and if kept for longer period than 80 minutes
the borrower is no longer to enjoy the privi-
leges of the Library" 1t is well to have an
assistant librarian if the Library is crowded.

Now is the time of the housekeeper's rejoic-

linen to snowy whiteness. Linen, like most
other things in this world is the better for care

should be rinsed in water that is only slightly
blued, and hung out in the sun, but not in the
wind, to dry. When nearly dry 1t should be
folded and then ironed. Linen Of good quality
is less expensive than the cheaper grades, on
account of its superior wearing qualities. I'm
bleached linen is stronger than the bleached.

When putting the clothes to soak over night
1t Is we'll to rub the most soilcd places and the

before hanging them out to dry; it saves trouble
in folding. Fringe can be made to look very
soft and fluffy if shaken vigorously while still
wet.
