Money Making for Girls.

Do you know that raising flower seed
for market can be made a very paying
business if one puts sufficient worl, and
care into it? In almost every part OF
our land there are fairs held where the
best in the line of Horticulture receives
liberal premium. First OF all, set aside
some choice plants and train them for
competition. Then-well, for instance,
raise sweet pea, pansy, aster and phlOX
seed for the home market. Go to a
dealer in flower seed in your own town
or community, tell hinl what you are
doing and ask him to give your seed a
trial.
Mighty ends from small beginnings
you know. Improve your strains year
after year. Add to your varieties. Put
only good seed on the market. Adver-
tise in your local paper, and by and By

three tons Of the seed last year and sold
it at 4 good profit.
The fame of a ministerial sweet pea
garden in Massachusetts has spread all
over the world. 1t is said that a seed
house in Germany-the largest in the
world-haS lately bought seed of this
same gentleman, who undertook the cul-
ture of this his favorite flower with no
thought of monetary reward, but for
outdoor exercise. He gives all mis-

Furniture Mnkeshifts.

A folding bed in the shape of a piano
is perhaps the elimination Of the furni-
ture manufacturing skill. 1t is to be
hoped SO. at least. There are still city
people old fashioned enough to rejoice
at sight Of a real bed, standing out in
a room, carefully arranged with dainty
covers and pillows. The fiat system of
housekeeping, necessitating the use Of
every available space is responsible for
many shams, some OF which serve a use
full purpose, but for the most part ride
ulous and not at all pleasing to the real
artist. Where is the beauty in filing
the home with things which are not
what they seen-pianOs which are beds,
Louis XIV ottomans which are shOeboXes.
eScritOireS which are WashStands and
sidebOards which are refrigerators?
These makeshiftS in reality conceal
nothing. Who but what can detect the
false note, the pretense? Who is de-
ceived by the mechanical device, novel
perhaps, but which Stimulates something
else? This Incorporating of inanimate
objects for the sake of keeping up ap-
pearances may be detected in most cases
at first sight. Nor do shams cease with
articles of furniture. The woodwork is
stained, the paper dado is an imitation
of hard wood panelipg, the mantels are
only marble on the surface. The Occu-
pants of the average city house live
among shams, which they would not
change if they cOuld.-Brooklyn Citizen.

Don't Lose Your Temper.

There are two things that every mem
Der of the gentler sex should remember
at all times. Don't lose your temper in
public and never make a scene of any
sort in public.
A woman who so far forgets herself as
to give vent to anger in pubic for the
benefit of strangers always looks ridicu-
lOus. Moreover, 1t is very bad form and
childish. Cultivate a serene. superb man
ner that can be disturbed by nothing If
a waiter upsets a pot of coffee on a new
tailor-made gown simply wipe the liquid
off and neither smile. frown now gr0wl
Look placidly Indifferent. and the people
about will think you order dresses by the
dozen.
If you and your sweetheart differ over
some fine point or find a discussion grow
ing heated in pubic cut it short. No
matter what he does nor how aggravat-
ing, it is simply stop and give him the
last word if you must. But don't quar-
rel in public places, in horse cars, res
taurants or at the theater When you
reach home. then is the time to settle all
differences of opinion. for the public is
not interested in your quarre.s.-N Y.

Mrs. beatrice Potter webb.

Mrs. Beatrice Potter Webb is probably
the richest and most beautiful woman in
the socialist ranks. She is distinguished
in various ways. She comes of a wealthy
and intellectual family and has the ad-
vantage of having been educated by
Herbert Spencer, but instead of becoming
a society queen. as she might easily have
done. she tried work in different shops
employing mostly women. and then wrote
such vigorous articles on sweating that
it is due to her more than to any one
else that parliament took up the matter
and passed certain laws in regard to
health in workshops She has also the
reputation of having suggested 1.-THE
Princess Casa Massima" to Henry James
and of having inspired William Black to
write Sunrise" She married Mr.. Sidney
Webb, and the couple make their home in
East End lodgings.
There is no doubt that the system of
sWeatshOps is spreading in this country
AT first it was almost entirely in the
hands of Russians. but now the Italians
have taken it up. and whole blocks are
given over to it. According TO investiga-
tions made by the Philadelphia health
board, the fact was eXpOsed- that gar
ments were made for some of the best
known establishments in some of the
very worst sweatshops. This is a con-
dition of affairs likely to make many a
fine woman open her eyes. however indif-
ferent she may be personally to the con-
ditiOn of working women. for she does
not like the idea of wearing undercloth-
ing polluted perhaps with contagious dis
ease.
A sweatshop is often the living and
sleeping room Of a family in which the
workers are crowded together. The term
has come TO be synonymous with all that
is filthy and insanitary. Sick children
may come in close contact with materials
thus spreading disease everywhere, and
factory laws do not in any way apply to
sweatshops. These laws have been i'm
proved of late years, both in England and
America, female sanitary inspectors be-
ing appointed to visit premises where
dressmakers, milliners, laundresses and
other women are employed. Mrs. Webb
has been influential in bettering the con-
ditiOn of English working women, both
in and out of the sweatshOps. She is
practical socialist keeping house for her
husband and self on about $500 a year.

If not better, than a woman sitting IN
a bunch on a side-saddle. The difference
is largely in the fact that the women
who ride horses usually belong to the
class that can afford to- make the most
of themselves under any circumstances,
while heretofore the majority of wom-
en- cyclists have been Of the class that
must consider time and money so care
fully that they could not always be well
dressed. Society women are beginning
TO find out that in some respects the
bicycle is a more convenient and trust
worthy steed than a horse, and when
good tailors learn to make wheeling COS
tunes as well as they now make riding

prices-we may begin to think a pretty
girl shows to as much advantage on a
wheel as on a horse-Kate Fields Wash

HOW IN Clean Lnce.

Very fine. handsome laces should not
be washed in the ordinary way. If only
slightly soiled, they may be cleaned by
rubbing into them powdered chalk or
calcined magnesia, the piece being spread
out on soft white cloth or white paper,
thoroughly covered with the chalk and
then, with a second piece of cloth or pa
per. the whole being placed under heavy
weight for several days. If the lace is
much solled, dip 1T into a bowl Of naph-
tina of pure benzine. Shake and stir it, but
never rub. Dry the same on a flannel COW
cred board, pinning out the points and
meshes so as to keep the pattern. When
the lace is not very valuable, 1t may be
washed i'm a suds of pure soap and hot
water. with a little ammonia, being left
to soak for a few hours. 1t should be
carefully rinSed in several waters and
pinned out to dry.

ResffuI Faces.

long before their time. Crying, weeping,
fretting, frowning, pouting, worrying and
other expressions Of impotence and re-
sentiment make fearful inrOads on beauty.
Quiet women with plain faces are at
times positively beautiful. Who has not
seen under the hoods of the sisters of
charity and beneath the caps of the
professional nurses almost celestial beauty
which, on study, was found to radiate
from sweet spirit, a gentle nature, a
sublime superiority to the petty cares. 1t
isn't the features, but the feelings ex-
pressed, that make face almost divine.
Cheerfulness, amiability and a merry
heart are fine cOSmetics.-N. Y. World.

ChiIdren,r Unir.

Nothing is more becoming to the pi-
quaint face Of a little girl than short hair
either the loose curls that are the nat
ural heritage Of many small misses or the
straight hair which falls TO the lot of
others. trimmed close. 1t is a relief to
the child in summer. and all the year
round is a sensible way that she should
wear her hair. When she rea ches the
age of seven or eight ii should be per-
mftted to grow, the ends only being
trimmed thereafter. At eighteen the
beauty Of her hair will largely depend
upon the care bestowed upon it, in the
matter of brushing, cleansing and the like
during the ten years following its being
permitted TO grow.
Too much washing. particularly in bo-
raX or ammonia water, is very drying and
enfeebling TO the hair. Use these drugs
on the brushes keeping them scrupulous-
ly clean, and let them in trun brush out
the dust from the hair, very occasionally
cleaning the scalp and hair with the white
of an egg, followed by careful rinsing in
tepid water and thorough drying.
As soon as its length will permit the
girls hair may be braided This is pref
cradle to letting it fly-a practice that
rOughens and breaks 1t, making uneven
ends. Tang,eS should never be cOmbed
out-always brushed. The tearing out of
a little knot or snarl of hair with a comb,
which many girls think is the only way
to do, is atrOciOus. Perseverance in
brushing viii unravel the most obstinate
snarl-not by removing the lock bodily, as
with a comb, but by separating the hairs

Beautifying the Home.

For the bric-a-brac mantel a long, mar
row picture does excellent duty when
hung just over the top shelf. A black
and white print can be seen to advant-
tage in this position.
If you have a character bit in oil, let
it be unframed and place it on the mid
die of the small ledge below the shelf
proper, and you have a fine bit of color
ing on entering. Over low bookcases
pictures should be large, and in this
form they give a style to the room.
Water colors look admirable if treated
in this manner, and, if two bookcases
are put together so as to form one, di-
vide the pictures by a bracket, on which
place a jar of some unique pattern.
If door is required TO be closed on
account of space, throw a silk curtain
over the door and at the left side place
a picture. Any still life will answer, and
