THE MAKING OF A CANDLESTICK.
To make a candlestick similar to that

old tin candleStick and remove the bot
tom or dish part, then, with the stout
shears cut off the bottom part of the
stick or socket, so that the remaining
part from the flange at the top to the
bottom of it will measure three inches
in length.
Have a tinsmith solder bottom in
it, and it will then be ready to receive
the scroll work, feet and handle.
On smooth piece of brown paper
draw with a lead pencil an outline the
size Of the candle socket, then one COM

one-half inches high and two inches
wide across the large scroll at the bot
tom. The distance from the bottom of
the socket to the lower end of the scroll
should be two and one-quarter inches

INEXPENSIVE ELEGANciEs.
The Gentlewoman Can BE Ultra Fas-
tidious In Her Toilet at Small Cost.

Elegantes of today who revel in ex
quisite refnements of the toilet often
wonder how the poor dear grandmoth-
ers ever managed at all without lis
ternie for the teeth, rosaline for the
nails, besides a thousand and one
small luxuries that cater to feminine
fastidiousness at present.
She who knows enough to keepa bot
tie Of ammonia on her dressing table
and use it generously has learned asec-
ret of genuine thrift. With anna ority of
women the one item of corsets is a
heavy yearly expense. Black and col
ored stays are always doubtful in
taste, and the snow white ones so
largely preferred are very readily tar
nished. To have them pass through
the laundry means misshapened
weakened cuirass, and professional
cleaners charge a dollar or more for
the dry process. The way to manage
them is to give ones corsets a sun bath
not less than three times a week, and
about once in seven days go over the
entire surface with a stout nail brush
dipped in soapy mixture of ammonia
and water.
Pretty much the same treatment ap-
piled to dress shields will enable one to

ton lace.
A Russian lady, by name. Pruscona
Stanoff, had gone to Paris to seek
fame and fortune in the field of let
tiers, and found only misery. She had
got to the end of everything, the
pot had not even boiled for days, as
the French say with grim pathos, and
at last, inspired by the phantoms of
hunger, she shut herself up in her
room and designed the bolero under
waist out of old newspapers. This she
reproduced Immediately in the pink
lawn and cotton lace-she cut off her
long, black hair to get the money for
materials and armed with the first
bolero corset cover ever dreamed Of,
probably, she went to the Bon Marcbe

HOW TO PAINT IT.
To give the ironwork a good finish
and prevent it from rusting, it will be
necessary to coat it over with a good
preparation.
Ordinark black paint thinned with
turpentine will answer very well, but
a lasting and perfect paint can be
made by purchasing a small can of
ivory black ground in oil and thinning
it to the consistency of rich milk with
Japan dryer and spirits of turpentine,
one part of the former to two parts OF
the latter. Mix these two mediums to-
gether first in bottle and add to the
paint afterward. Two or three coats
of this paint will be sufficient to give
the iron a good finish, and it should
be applied with soft hair brush such
as you may purchase at a drug store
for five or ten cents.
With the addition of a pretty coIored
candle and a canopy shade the effect of
this littlestick will he very pleasing,
and will make pretty ornament.
