Perhaps everyone knows that lemon juice
will freshen the hands and take away the I'M
pleasant odor that sometimes fingers after the
dishes are washed, but everyone does not
know that the same lemon juice will produce
wrinkles in the face, if it be used there. Also
everyone does not know that whisk broom
is an excellent thing to clean pots and pans
with, and makes cleaning graters an easy task.

The fichu is in full glory now. It is worn
with the simplest morning gowns, or with the
most elaborate evening costumes-the same old
timey shape, folded triangularly, and with the
ends either knotted in front or crossed, and
fastened in the back. Marie Antoinette wore
this kind of fcbu, but not always arranged as
in the heading illustration, for it is said that
her lovely throat and shoulders were not hid
den by these, her favorite neck draperies. In
this respect the arrangement on some of the
evening gowns of to-day, or rather tonight.
does not differ, for often they are knotted
around a regular low-cut evening bodice.
Just as often, however, they soften the out
lines of a conventional "V" neck, neither very
high nor very low. The afternoon gown here
shown is of striped silk, green and white. 1t has
wide, close-ftting cuffs-if any finish above the
elbow can be called a cuff-of green velvet and
a collar and belt of the same. The wide ruffie
on the sleeves, and the narrower one on the
fchu, are of the same kind of lace. The ichu
itself is of white chiffon. The lace ruffies the
entire edge. For morning wear the ichus are
parted just enough at the throat to look grace
full, and then are crossed modestly over the
bosom.

the water color paints do very well, as also

asked by her mistress to go to the drug store to
buy her some ace-powder, said, Please give

Jewels and fine metals are 80 often fashioned

fulness is an important part of their grace and
artistic value, and of course the miniature lacks
this, and is meaningless, not displaying the
gems to advantage, but calling to mind more
useful things. Flowers, too are unsatisfactory,
unless worked out in the delicately -hued
enamels. The gold and jewels are poor imi-
tation of more beautiful thing and call atten-
tion to the fact. The characteristic beauty of
jewels is best brought out by simple setting,
not calling to mind any special occupation,
neither calling upon the beauty of the flowers
to help them out. A single setting, in circles,
stars, or crosses best suits them. Perhaps this
is because the jewels do often assume these
shapes. This gives an effect of harmony en-
tirely lost in the other designs.

pretty trimming for Summer silk gowns is
four or five very narrow ruffies round the skirt
the lowest one just matching the silk in shade
but the next one darker, and so on, until at the
top there is quite difference between the gown
and the rutfie.
A pretty idea for gray gown is to have two
or three little ruffles around the skirt edged
with white satin "baby" ribbon. A white
belt and heavy lace collar falling from band
around the throat completes the simple costume.

Turning the Tables.

An Illinois Sheriff was noted for
his activity in looking up unlicensed
peddlers. Taking his walk abroad
one day, he came across an old fellow
who he at once concluded was an
illegal trader, and inquired if he had
got anything to sell.
"Have l got anything to sell,
Squirrel" was the response. Guess l
have got backing that will make
them old cowhide boots of yOurn shine
so that you can shave in them. Got
razors, too, an article you want, l
should say, by the look of your beard.
Got Balm of COlumby, too, only a
dollar bottle, good for the hair and
assisting poor human nature"
The Sheriff bought bottle of Balm
of Columbia, and then desired to see
the Yankees license for peddling.
The document was produced, ex-
amined, and pronounced genuine, and
handed back to the old man.
Il don't know now that l care for
this stuff" said the disappointed Of
fetal. what will you give for it?"
"Wa'al," answered the peddler, Il
don't want it, Squire; but, seeing it's
you, I'll give you 81 cents for it."
The Sheriff passed him the bottle
and pocketed the money, when the
peddler said:
Il say, I guess I have got some
thing to ask you now. Have you got
a peddler's license about you?"

any use for one myself"
"Wa'al, / guess we will see about
that pretty soOn," replied the
Yankee. IF I understand the law,
Sheriff, it's clear case that you've
been trading and peddling Ealm of
Columby on the highway, and I
shall inform on you"
Thus he turned the tables; and
the Sheriff was duly fined for ped
ding without license.

He Saw Himself Die.

The following story is about DR..
Wilsey, who saw himself die out
West and came back to life again.
The Doctor told how he saw himself
60 out of his body, saw his body lying
on the bed, with his wife and sister
kneeling by his side and weeping.
He thought it great joke on them
that they should not know he was as
much alive as ever. He laughed
outright at the joke and was surprised
that they did not hear him laugh.
He went out Of the house, down the
street and then struck of into the
country, thinking to himself. This
must be the road people take when
they die.
He hadn't gone far when a voice
warned him that if he got beyond a
certain point he couldn't get back.
But the sensation Of being free from
his body was so delightful and the
landscape was so inviting that he
felt no desire to return. All the
while, however, he seemed to be
attached to his physical body by a
fine, almost invisible thread, which
kept drawing him back. He lost
consciousness, and when he revived
he was again lying on his bed with
his family around him.-Boston
