OF the pretty soubrette. who has done much
to endear IL TO the heart of the average
maid. Stage busting cannot be successfully
done with a dust cloth. but that in the
apartments of real folks is never well
done without IL. There should be an
abundance of hemmed dust cloths of cheese

like chamois or OF old silk handkerchiefs.
These should always be clean, and a maid
should be made as responsible for their
care as for the care of bed linen or towels.
The dust % sweeping may be avoided by
keeping a pail OF clean water at hand and
dipping the grooming occasionally. drain

with damp bits of paper or tea leaves The

The Moman,s woman.

TIL so-called woman's woman is by no
means. therefore, unattractive TO men. But
she who is a marked favorite with her own
sex is never a coquette. nor does her popu-
larity depend upon her personal beauty.
She is almost always broad-minded and
with broad sympathies; she Is in touch with
the same with both sexes. frank and friend
~, interested in whatever interests others,
and, above all, unselfish. a man may be
charmed and held in thrall for a long time
by a bright, pretty, selfish little woman,
but a woman never is. Consequently, the
greatest charm of the woman's woman is
her forgetfulness of self, and in the long
run men do not fail TO appreciate this love
lest of qualities, and those who are wise
among them seek IL in their companions for
life

TREASURES IN ATTICS
Old Fashioned Gowns Worn at a
Novel Church Social.
Charm of the Woman's Woman-Re-
Election Of the Social Life in
indianapolis.

At the entertainment given at Meridian
street Church Friday evening the ladies
who were on the entertaining section were
al dressed in old-fashioned gowns. One
dress was the wedding trousseau OF a mem
Der, who has a daughter twenty years old
or more. 1t had the long shoulders, which
we're exceedingly uncomfortable to the
wearer. 1t had an apron front and little
paniers in the back. 1t was odd indeed TO
think that women had worn that kind OF a
iress and that 1t had been in fashion. The
same member had on a heavy gold chain,
which passed around the neck and hung far
below the waist. Long curls hung over her
shoulders. and in her ears were rings Of
coral and gold that fell nearly to her
shoulders. Another member had on a fchu
Of hand embroidered null which formed a
cape about the shoulders, and long tabs
reached nearly to the hem of the old
fashioned striped silk gown. One had on
gold bracelets that were almost two inches
wide. Another wore a maroon silk dress
with a long train, trimmed with pink che
nile fringe. Nearly every one said the ar
ticles had been brought out of the attic
trunks.
There are hundred of women who never
give away or dispose Of their clothes after
they are through with them, and the
gowns, wraps and bonnets are placed in
boxes or trunks and put in the attic. One
young girl had on a bonnet which her
great-grandmOther wore when she was
married, and the dress she had on, which
was made many years ago, was not very
different from what some Of the young
women have worn TO gatherings during the
last winter. 1t is interesting for the per-
sons OF this generation TO see what their
mothers and g~randmothers have worn, and
the entertainment was the occasion of
many Of these old things being brought out.
Attic trunks are full of treasures.
