An Easy Way to Clean Lace.

In cleaning fine lace the object is to not
only remove all SOIL but to do this in such
a way that the slender threads may remain
intact and retain their original contour. 1t
is said that the best rs well as the easiest
way to accomplish this is to spread the lace
out carefully on wrapping paper, then
sprinkle it carefully with calcined mag
nesia; place another paper over it, and pu :
it away between the leaves of book for
two or three days, All it needs is skill.
full shake to scatter the white powder, and
then it is ready for wear, with slender
threads intact, and as fresh as when new.

Fovorite sIlls for EvenInc wear

Silks in great favor for evening wear are
the striped moire antiques. The silk is
usually white or light and in delicate
MORE effects, and is striped with one or
more colors. Rainbow stripes of many
tints are very effective. The favorite trim
ming for gowns made of these materials is
gauze or muslin of the color seen in the
bright stripes of the material The waist
is sometimes made entirely of muslin or
gauze in plain color, and the skirt cut
entirely ON the cross and edged with ruffies
or frills. A handsome jeweled or jette1
eorslet and the ubiquitous bow at the back
finish the gay gowns these silks are de-
signed for.

the English holiday parties, and so grace

but the gavotte step seems to be the pre-
dominating one.

Spring. Gentle Spring.

Come, put away the ulster big,
And the sealslSin cap we wore,
For gentle spring Is coming on,
We shall not need them more.
Pull down the camphorated trunk
Forth from the attic high,
And pack those winter clothes away,
For spring is drawing nigh.
And when we get them packed away
Up out Of sight. Why, then
Wen shiver and we'll shake TO find
! That cold snaps here again.

FRANCE ON HER FEET.
The Bismarclrian Policy No Longer Pos

The Bismarclian Policy No Longer Pos.
 sible with the Powerful Republic.
 Some years ago, in the time of the old emperor, Bismarck is said to have held that it was the duty of Germany to herself, completely equipped as she was, with firm alliances, while the French were not fully armed and had no allies, to find a pretext for a quarrel and crush France, taking care to infict disabilities that would prevent her talk ing rank again with the foremost na- tions, writes Murat Halstead in the Cos mopolitan. His idea was that the French were implacable, and each gen. eration of them had to have war with Germany. He wanted, therefore, to hasten the inevitable. It is too late to adopt this policy now, for France is on her feet, restored to the front rank ready with greater army than she ever put in the field, and assured of the friendship of Russia. The German em- peror is called to observe the growth of socialism, which springs up as popu- Tor antidotc for the militarism that has been almost omnipotent in Germany. This socialism does not seem to be nor bid. It is a natural form of protest against governing aristocracy and a devouring army. Now tho leaders of the social movement are so strong they can afford moderation, and their speeches are not the shrielzs of assas- sins, but show the calm consideration of most weighty and urgent affairs.
 It seems to the socialists that there ought to be some way found of settling the Alsace and Lorraine question with out war, which however it might re- suit, would mean the slaughter of hun dreds of thousands of poor men: and , one speaker was so bold as to say, q few weeks ago, that in twenty years the German people would have no need for royalties and imperialists. This may be incendiary from the point of view of the occupants of thrones, but it is not irrational. It has been held by many representatives of imperialism that blood letting was the sovereign remedy for social disorder.
 The success of the Russian loan in France and the failure to place any of it in Germany has drawn the French and Russians closer together. Happily this may make for peace, for their united strength is so great Germany will hardly care to challenge the hostil- 1 ity of so portentous combination. In this, indeed, is the only chance for the 1 preservation of the armed truce that prevails,

Our heroine's name was enough to have killed her during infancy after whooping cough, measles and scarlet fever had in their turn tried and failed. That's what her Uncle John was in the habit of saying on an average of once a week.
 Rebecca Buggs was certainly not a TO- mantle name; not half so pretty as that of Pearl Pelisse, who lived on the next farm east of the old Buggs homestead in Pennsylvania. But Pearl had freckles as large as shirt buttons, 8 snub nose, high cheek bones, hair the color of her fathers big copper kettle in apple butter boiling time, and last, but not least in her list of disadvantages, Miss Pelisse was cross eyed. Her other physical blemishes she had been able to conceal from the too critical world as soon as she was old enough to wear long gowns. Pearls only pride centered in her name.
 But what indeed is there in 8 name! That small, red, squirming hairless thing which Jacob and Rebecca Buggs, six teen years before the opening of our story, had called Rebecca, had grown into the sweetest, loveliest bud of a woman ever seen in Adams county. And when she huttered from the accommo- dation train at Morgan's Mills on that June day, she appeared to the score of rural loungers on the platform like an angel just dropped down from the sweet fields of Eden.
 Rebecca rustled and floated up the platform, trailing scent of violets as she went. The youthful station agent forgot the dignity of his position as he watched her coming toward him, and would have run away most probably had his strength not failed at the su- ipreme moment. It was g clear case oi hypnotism.
 "Can you tell me how far 1t is tc Jacob Buggs' farm, and how can get there2" she asked.

lNeALls ON TIE NAVY.
L'he ex-SenaIor Talks of tile Recent Chiliar
 Imbroelio.

ImbrOgltOs
 CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-"This whole Chilian imbroglio is an illustration of the danger of our having navy,' said ex-Senator John J. Ingalls,, at the Grand Pacific
 ''Here the Baltimore was in the harbor of Valparaiso, where she had no business to be-
 ''She had right to be there, to be sure, and being there our flag and uni form were entitled to respect, but she had no business there. Her sailors went on shore and got into an alteration.
 Had they and their ship been where they ought to have been, in the harbor of San Francisco, New York, Boston or some other American seaport, they would not have been hurt. But the officials wanted to make show of action and they sent the Baltimore to Valparaiso, where she had no business, as they sent the rest of the fleet to other places where they have no business.
 ''The suppositious trouble with Chilli was manufactured by people who have a direct interest in securing big appro- priation from Congress to build an ex- pensive, useless, unnecessary navy.
 ''It was the annual war scare which is gotten up by the same people just about the beginning of every Congress. The scare is always based on some trifing incident ill itself of no importance and out of the question as 8 casus belli One year it was the Behring Sea dispute and we were sure to have war with Great Britain. Then it was the Mafia lynching at New Orleans that was to involve us with Italy. Before that we had some discussion with Spain. Now just watch the course of events and see if Congress is not asked to appropriate forty or fifty million for a navy"
 "Do we not need a navy?'
 ''No, sir. A navy will only get us into trouble, just as the Baltimore did. There is no necessity for this country in send ing lot of warships swaggering around the earth saying the United States must be respected The United States is re- spected without any bullying of that sort.'

John Burns, in his shirt sleeves, had appeared among the fine company in front of the house. Burns, in his old battered hat and with the odor of stable reek about him, was no respecter of per sons. He was looking for his ''young boss" as he called Agnes, and when he had found her he delivered his message quite regardless of ceremony: Holt, miss, the grocer, has sent up from town for all the strawberries we can let him have He wants them afore dark for the festival in the Methodist church; was promised hundred quarts and prime berries it seems are ruther skurce."
 "Very well, Burns, harness Selim to the market cart and l will take what berries we can spare into town"
 "Why don't you let Burns drive to market, dear" whispered Mrs. Ransom, coloring high.
 "l have agreed, mamma, to do that part of the business myself. Burns has all the work he can attend to at home. As shall travel faster with Selim than you can on the coach you will let me take the lead to get out of your dust" she added, smiling archly over her shoulder as she tripped into the house.
 In ten minutes Burns had brought the cart filled with strawberry crates to the door. Agnes, whip in hand, looked about her with a smiling eye. "Mr. Darcy" said she at last, ''you are an ex- cellent whip and have often driven pro- fessionally in town. Would it please ] you to drive me into Littlefield in the ! market cart? My brother Will can take your place on the coach" | Teddy Darcy turned all sorts of colors, and stammered out, "Weally, Miss Az nes, you must be joking"
 There was quick movement behind her and a general litter. Agnes turned with her face celestial red, and saw that Percy Fallon had leaped into the cart and gathered up the reins Good by, dear friends" cried Agnes with gen. tie irony, and she gave Percy her gloved hand and in an instant was sitting beside him. Percy looked unspeakably trium- phant and happy. He touched Selim lightly with the whip and the two were bowling down the little hill before the astonished group on the lawn had re- covered it's presence of mind.
 MT. Darcy looked quite apoplectic as Frank Haydock approached him with grave ceremony. "Allow me to con- gratulate you, Darcy, on very narrow escape. Agnesis self willed girl, and she is sure to lead any man she marries pretty lively dance"
 "Yes," said Darcy, still quite purple with wrath, II don't approve of strong minded women. A wife should always look up to her husband as her mental superior and natural guide. It looks deuced bad to see her take the bit be- tween her teeth"
 The drive to Littlefield settled Agnes destiny for life. It was agreed that she and Percy should live summers at the farm on Scrabble Hill and winters should migrate to his city quarters. Since their marriage Fallon has built rustic studio down in the woods near the brook. Phemy is still a very essential member of the family. One of Fallons most famous pictures is called 1.-The Little Nurse" It represents red haired girl worshiping baby asleep in its cradle in the tirelight in quaint old parlor strongly suggestive of the keeping room at the farm.
