One Way to Dry Handkerchief.

Have you ever tried drying your fin
est handkerchiefs ON the surface of a
mirror or sunny window pane? If not,
/ think you would much prefer it to the
ordinary way of drying and ironing,
which is SO likely to injure them. Two
things must be remembered-to have
the handkerchiefs quite damp and to
have the surface of the mirror or pane
free from dust. Handkerchiefs thus
dried are as smooth and free from wrin-
kles as if they had been treated to hot
iron.

Fashions In Wells.

All the novelties in fine goods come
from France. There is little that is new
in yelling Dotted net, tulle, spangled
gauze and lace are still the fashion.
Meshes change, tints of color rise and
fall in favor, but it is always plain and
dotted net every year and all the time
and always will be while women live
and beauty is treacherous. Brussels net
is the staple and most expensive article
and possesses extraordinary qualities of
wear. The tulle used for bridal wells is
the acme of brussels net Wash blond
and bobinet are limitations of that net
Like dotted net, illusion and maline
never 60 out Of favor. The illusion is
used for street, bridal, baptism and con
firmation dresses and for the marble
face of death. It comes in black and
white.
In the dotted goods the tuxedo mesh
is perhaps the favorite The net is open
and comes in variety of fancy weav-
ings, hiding blemishes and false COM
plexions, without interfering with COM
fort or sight. Sprinkling a few dots OF
the selfsame or contrasting color is a
bit of artifice to which every beauty re-
sorts sooner or later. In the cheap goods
these dots are woven in the net They
are hand applied to the best materials.
Sometimes they are big. Just now the
style is a medium size stitch Of chenille.
Black, white, navy blue and brown
are the staple colors, the demand being
in the order mentioned.
What are known as gaslight or COM
plexion wells are the very fruit of the
loom. They are worn in the evenings, at
the theater, at matinees and with car
riage toilets by women who make up.
Some of these complexion wells are
barely visible. Her highness the Prin-
cess of Wales is never seen in daylight
without one.

Tambourine Rattle.

The 'tambourine'' rattle is a recent
addition to nursery equipments. This is
simple bauble to make. For its foun-
dation you require a small wooden en-
broidery hoop. For this is made cir
cular cover of channels or silk, which
ever you prefer. to be slipped over the
hoop and tightly stretched. Then the
edge is bound all around with bright
ribbon, and about an inch apart tiny
loops of narrow ribbon are sewed, each
one tipped with little silver bell. This
musical jingler is sure to delight its
youthful owner.

warm red basket cloth or of pale yellow
pique, while blond can choose vest
of light blue twill with white dots, lines
or crossbars.
The coat and skirt invariably in such
gowns are severely plain if made i'll
good taste. The skirt, escaping the floor
all around, is untrimmed except by
stitching above hem and is usually
without lining, though occasionally
lined with gay taffeta silk the color of
the vest or matching that of shirt

The coat may be long or short as one
fancies and either single breasted or else
Tapped at the waist line to fasten by one
or two buttons. The revers and collar
are masculine in cut.
A charming summer dress for young
lady is made in white muslin, with pink
stripe and dot. Both bodice and skirt
are finished with frill of net. The
bodice is made Of white silk, with pink
satin collar, waistband and sleeve bows.
The hat is in white leghorn and is
trimmed with white tips, the brim
caught up at the side of back with plated
ribbon rosette and fall of white lace.

INITIAL WITH FLORAL DESIGN
"a meant by this is illustrated in the
drawings. The letters being heavy and
the flower sprays dainty, the proportion
Is kept by drawing the letters in the
broadcast and simplest way, while good
deal of detail should be expressed in the
flowers.
In combining colors for these designs
keep the letters less prominent in tone
than the flowers. They are adaptable
TO almost any material, but if applied
to linen cannot be as deliberately worked
as on heavier fabric.
The following are directions for cord
ing, which is beautiful method Of out
lining work: Where stems and leaf
veins occur, outline finely in one thread
of flo floss. Then mount the ground
material firmly. Work the decorations
in long and short stitch, slanting to the
center Of the blossoms-to the veins in
leaves. The color combination is to be
according to nature in flowers natural
istically drawn. This work finished,
outline the letter edges with cord
t''linen lay cord on linen, a silk on 9TH

with sewing silk, stitches an eighth of
an inch apart, always at right angles
with direction the cord is being carried.
The cord must terminate where the lit
tie scrolls end. Finish these points by
splitting the cord, threading the strands
in coarse needle and drawing them
through to the wrong side, where they
may be fastened. Never break the ma
terial in order to take the whole cord
through at one time Now, with dou-
bile thread, bring the needle up at the
base of one of the COUGHING stitches,
hold the needle up from the work until
the thread is taut; then twist until the
strand will end where relaxed; then
send the needle down on the top Of the
next COUGHING stitch. In this way cross
the cord from its start to it's end; then
return in the opposite way, crossing the
first series of stitches.
Many original ways of slanting these
stitches suggest themselves to worker
Two or three rows of cord may be laid

Berry tarts are made by lining small
patty pans with rich crust and filling
with raspberries, blackberries or whor-
tleberries Heap up high in the center;
sprinkle freely with powdered sugar;
wet the edges of the paste with ice wa
ter; lay ON a thin crust of light puff
paste press the edges together, and
with sharp knife trim off evenly;
press around the base of the fruit about
a fourth of an inch from the edge of the
pan so as to push the fruit up in cone
in the center, when the juice will run
around the groove formed by pressing.
Brush the crust of each tart over with
ice water and bake in quick oven.

DESIGN FOR INITIAL.

parallel and close together in this way,
or, the ground being heavy, the entire
width Of the letter may be so covered,
and in this case any number of pretty
little diagrams will be formed by the
COUGHING and twisted silk crossing
stitches. A color combination adds to
the intricate effect.
In case only one line of cord is used
express the little shading work by
stitches following the lines Of shading
indicated in the drawings.
Where the scrolls curl work the edges
in perspective solidly to throw out the
upper edge.
This is pretty method and is worth
little patient practice, which will be
necessary to learn to keep the cord well
twisted and tight.

SUMMER FASHIONS.
Hats A~s Large and Bonnets Small-Pretty
Gowns For Hot Days.

1oWhs hOu DAYS.
Nothing strikes one more at the pres
ent time than the diversity and fantasy
of the millinery of the day. The hats
cannot be too large They are crowned
with waving plumes mostly black, and
are generally in conjunction with flow
ers of many hues. The bonnots are
small and placed so far back that they
rest not on the head, but ON the coil of
fluffy hair. Some are merely large
bow attached to minute headpiece,
others with flower dropping modestly
ON one side, and tall loop erect ON the
other. Some are trimmed in way to
suggest horns, others that the wearer is
80 fond of flowers that she has collected
as many as she can. A few are in the
close fitting shape, pointed in front,
with a transparent lace butterfly or a
substantial bow set up at the back of it.
The choice in materials is exception
ally large, and thGre never was time
when more beautiful coloring or delicacy
of texture could be found Silk, crepon,
lace and chiffon are the ruling elements
of the present styles. The fancy for
bodices of material and color in strong
contrast to the sleeves and skirt is an
old one, which continues to increase in
popularity. and lace and chiffon are en-
ployed for this purpose quite as much
as when the style was new.
For travelling dresses the durable COW
ert coating has almost superseded the
blue serge. This fabric is mostly seen
in the light beige, tan and fawn colors,
and occasionally in light green or gray
ISL blue. The useful tan shades are not
always becoming, but the brunette who
finds them unsuited to her complexion
can improve them by adding vest of

The cause is some arrangement of the
uterus or womb. Backache is the sure
symptom.
For years Sarah Holstein, who lives at
Perry Street. in Lowell, Mass, suffered
with falling of the womb. The best doc
tors failed to relieve her, and as last
resort she purchased six bottles of Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Now she is we'll woman.
The dreadful pain in her back stopped
after taking the second bottle. She
wishes she had taken it sooner, and
saved both money and years of suffering.
This Vegetable Compound is the one
unfailing remedy for such troubles. A

Yes, when the campaign gets hot
and mems prejudices are aroused, you
will begin to unlace your weasel skins
and buy and distribute literature.

cheaper books by the 100. You get
them cheaper and 100 will paralyze a

You say you are satisfied that you
are mis-governed; and that that mis-
government is likely to swallow up all
you have; and you want to help fight
the evil conditions; and you don't
know how. That is the way. Buy a

them: or, better still, purchase pack

them all over the township or county.

The Picnic Convention.

We have secured Harmonic hall, for
the Peoples Party State Convention
and the Grain Growers Convention,
July 10 to l4th. If the Grain Grove rs
Convention, is very large one we
have arranged to have the free use of
the Pavilion at Lake Harriet; an ex-
ceedingly large hall, on the shores of
that charming lake, with handsome
groves around it. If there is desire
manifested to have us do so, we will
see what we can rent large and small
tents for, as they do at Chautaqua AS
semblies. The cost to each person
would be merely nominal, and parties
coming in wagons could bring their
own bed clothes, cooking utensils and
food with them, and thus spend few
days in a delightful locality, with
street cars running every few minutes
into the great city of Minneapolis,
with all its sights and attractions.
What say you, friends? Let us hear
from you, at once, so that we may
know whether we are to take steps to
carry out this idea.
or course the plan to use tents need
not interfere with those who would
prefer to stop at hotels. We will soon
publish table of rates of these.
