Never iron silk stockings. Black or white
ones should be washed carefully in the follow
ing way: Make strong lather of soap and
water aud let them stand in IL for little
while. Then with the hands rub the soiled
places out. Then the stockings should b
turned wrong side out and rubbed again.
Rinse them out 10 clear warm water and hang

should be stretched and smoothed into shape.

should be painted with some of the enamel
paints, or else stained the desired color, and
then cushioned with harmonizing shade. A
pretty one in white and gold had thick
cushion, covered with light brown and white
cretonne. The cushion was tied to the bench
with broad, golden-brown ribbons. The rib
bons were tied beyond the supports of the
bench, and the square bow was on top. Another
pretty one was stained mahogany color, and
had old-rose for the predominating shade in
the cushion.
The most interesting part Of 9 novel-ths
proposal-has been depicted in various ways.
Mostly the novelists like to make the hero de-
clare that he cannot live without the heroine,
for in 81 cases out of a hundred this Is just
what was said. ST. Louis man, d. r. Me-
Anally, has collected some statistics on this
point that will prove interesting to all lovers
of lovers The cases under consideration were
taken from 100 novels Sixty-seyen of the
proposing men kiss the girl on the lips; one
kisses the young lady on her nose, but it is re-
corded that he did it by mistake. However,
his objective point is not given. Fourteen OF
the gentlemen have qualms and during the in
teresting proceedings three stand on one foot
while 90 stand on two. Out of 100 proposers
only six, it is told, knet, aud of them four only
got down on one knee. In the meantime the
hundred women proposed to have not been
idle AS rule. they fell into the mans arms
that is, 81 Of them acted in this way.

Further, 70 had eyes full of love- and more
over 81 of them rested their respective heads
on the respective shoulders of their respective
lovers One girl sneezed, but it says In foot
note the girl was under 16 years of age, there
fore this cannot be considered precedent; also
one struggled not to be kissed, and the condi-
tions in this case preclude it from establishing
a precedent, because the maiden was over 40.
The womanly intuition of the heroines shows
I'D strong, 81 of them were expecting some-
thing of the sort when the proposal was made,
and only four are described as being greatly
surprised. Tho most peculiar fact is that in
six instances the girl kissed the man first.
But these are all cases where the question
was happily answered. Of the other cases only
so are taken, but usually the rejected lover
rushes mady away, for there are over half Of
the so who do so. Fifteen of them have to
clear Jumps out of their threats, and one poor
man in his sorrow pounds a stone wall with his
fists Then there are scattered numbers show
ing how many refused the ssterly and friendly
affection that the girls so often offered, and one
absolutely refused to be prayed for or the
women who refused these so men, 10 Of them
rose to their feet to do so. Two laugh In seorn-
full derision at the men, but four become slcA
and faint over the sorrow that they are caus-
ing Seven are sympathetic enough TO weep
with the men. One offers to pray for the pro-
poser and ever so many try to console the un-
lucky fellows by hoping that other girls viii
