Cincinnati, o., Dec. 26.-Last night

OF England's cause, and made remarks

Brangan is a powerful fellow, but final

There was no time called, and at the

HOW to Wash silk Kaists.

Wash silk waists do not always wash
well because of ignorance of the proper
way of laundering them. Add a tea
spoonful of borax to some lukewarm
water and enough nice white soap to
make a weak suds. Rub through the
hands carefully; instead of wringing
draw the silk through the tightly clasped
hand If all the dirt has not been taken
out, wash again; then rinse in several
waters to which have been added
pinch of borax or a half dozen drops of
ammonia. Do not let the silk become
quite dry before ironing; then use
moderately hot iron, as very hot one
will scorch the silk.

DOMINIC THE VEIL.
An Accomplishment Possessed by hut
Few American Women.

An Accomplishment Possessed by hut
Few American Women.
It is an accomplishment worth &C
quiring in these days when American
women are almost as universally yelled
as the beauties of the orient, to put
ones veil on ssfully-that is, SO
that the hair is held securely in posi-
ton, the veil itself does not droop be-
low the hat brim at any point and
neither hangs loose nor draws across
the face, rendering wink announcement
and the nose a martyr to the tickling
sensation which every wearer of
a veil knows. Half the beauty
of the veil, or, more strictly,
the enhancement of beauty which
the veil gives, is due to the way
it is put on. Worse than no veil at all
is the veil put on before the bonnet is
assumed, as one fashion writer recon-
mends. The filing meshes, pressed
closely against the face and hair. leave
no room for the charming, illusOry eff
feet which is the wells chief EXCUSE
for being" The first requirement in a
veil is that it shall be of unstinted size,
double width, unless it is to be worn
with a very small bonnet, q yard long,
so that it may be gathered up in gener-
Gus folds over the hat brim and pinned
"a veil should never be tied-wen up
at the back of the hat. A better fit
and a prettier effect is given by little
cluster of gathers directly in the middle
of the front. It is to be hoped that
women will some time learn that
wells figured with sprigs, or, in
deed, anything but unobtrusive dots
are never becoming, and make them
look, as man was heard to remark the
other day, ''as if their faces were COW
cred with flies. "-Philadelphia Times.

table, another one of oil cloth for the
floor and our cooking utensils. 1t does
not take a minute to pull these out and
arrange our kitchen which, when in
working order occupies the space of a
medium-sized rug. Our crockery, which
is of blue and white Delft, we keep in a
corner cupboard, and consider it quite
an aesthetic addition to our room.
Washing our dishes and getting rid of
SiperfluouS food were our chief difficult
ties at first; but soon we had arranged
it beautifully. We scraped all the de-
bris into blue and white umbrella
stand, which is much prettier than
pail, and which the maid who does our
rooms takes away and washes. In this
way our meals cost US exactly 81 per
day, our table d'hote dinner at a very
nice restaurant being so cents each.
Ny rooms and meals therefore cost me
just 81 per week. Last summer [
spent four months at summer art
school at the Shinnecock shore, where
my board amounted to only IS per
week; this added to my winter ex-
penses brought my board and lodging
to exactly 1913 l allow for my dress
$500, and have 1887 left for extras-not
much, l admit, but I hope to supple
ment it now by earning a little some
thing for myself. In the meanwhile
am very happy, and do not envy the
richer girls who live unemployed lives
at home without any responsibility.

A LINCOLN NURSE.
She Cared For Bob and Willie Lincoln
Before the War.

Before the War.
Aunt Ruth Stanton, an old colored We
man who resides in st. Louis, was a
nurse in Abraham Lincoln's family
years ago, when they lived in Spring
field, and long before the ultimate glory
of the great emancipation was outlined.
Aunt Ruth is now janitress and
drudges all day long, but she is yet in
robust health. This is the story the ole
lady tells of her experience, minus the
quaint dialect:
''The Linco1ns were poor then and
lived in a frame house with six rooms.
Mrs. Lincoln belonged to the Episcopal
church, and SO did the Bradfords 1
used to take the Bradford children to
Sunday school, and on the way we
would sometimes sec Mr.. Robert Lin
coin, who was only years old. He was
going to Sunday school, too, and the
Bradford children would say: oh, Ruth,
there's that Bobby Lincoln with his
patched pants! Let's go the other way,
so as we won't meet him. Then we
would go by a roundabout way to
church to get away from Bobby Lincoln
because he used to wear blue jean pants
which his mother made for him and
patched for him when he wore hole
in them. After awhile Mrs. Bradford
sent me over to help Mrs. Lincoln every
Saturday, for she had no servant and
had to do her own homework. Then
Mrs Bradford sent me to live with the
Lincolns.
81 scrubbed the floors and waited on
the table and helped Mrs. Lincoln to
clean the dishes and do the washing
She did all the up stairs work, made
clothes for the boys, Robert and Willie,
and cooked the meals. Mr.. Lincoln was
very good and kind man, but don't
remember anything particular about
him, for 1 was very young. He was
very tall man. That's all I can remem-
Der of him. He used to be at his Office
all the day long, and did not see much
of him, but never expected to see him
president Of the United States.
Mrs. Lincoln was a very nice lady.
She worked hard and was good church
member. Every Thursday the sewing
society of the Episcopal church would
meet at Mrs. Lincoln's house and make
clothes for the very poor people. She
was very plain in her ways, and I re-
