inspiring light will come to some mind,
and perhaps four or five happy episodes
will be all we shall get from the CONVEX
sation," said the Orphic Oracle Alcott in
the beginning Of this evening.
The Olympian host beamed encourage
ment upon the assembled company. Miss
Fuller huttered an ecstatic exclamation
and the hermit from the blackberry
patches of Walden demurred. Hawthorne,
statue of right and silence in sable garb,
sat removed under a portrait of Dante
and glowered at the company from his
black eyes from under his shock of dark
hair. Only the restraining hand of his
wife kept him there at all, and it would
have caused no surprise but passing
shudder had he suddenly disappeared like
character in one of his fantastic ro-
mances.
'There was a constrained and amiable
silence which had the impertinence of
tacit inquiry, seeming to ask: who will
now proceed to say the finest thing that
long afterward in reporting this signif1-
can't meeting. DR.. Charming began with
an innocent question which Alcott an
swered so lucidly that it seemed a won
der that the New England intellect had
ever been befogged by doubt on the point
Charming went on as relentlessly as Soc
rates, winding up this serene Plato to a
lame conclusion. Was he going to bring
Alcott to confusion? All, no. Fer see
the answers are not direct any more They
soar and soar clear up to paradise, beyond
where logic can follow, in clear atmos-
phere too rarified for those of earth to
breathe. When he stopped Miss Fuller
gasped in ecstacy, Emerson beamed,
Charming looked ashamed of his subter-
fuge, Hawthorne nodded acquiescence and
Thoreau was busy cramming his mental
pockets full of nuts to serve as intellec-
tual food for a weeks Information.
Nothing else happened except that the
philosophers ate russell apples al solemn
ly disappeared into the night.
| AS matter of fact the winter was i'm
mensely productive. Emerson was getting
! big rations of the over soul, Miss Fuller
was writing her most brilliant criticisms,
DR.. Claiming was forming cult in his
church in Boston, Hawthorne went away
from each meeting to write new tale,
and Thoreau had larger optics for the
beauty of nature. The individualism of
each was intensified into genius for
doing certain things that were to enrich
the intellectual treasure house of the
world and this is the last final Towering
| of all Acknowledgements forcing of the in
sion of intellect, and the enrichment OF
the world with the product The world
has inherited from the sages of Concord.

bottoms of the trousers the skirt, the
sleeves and the belt.
On one suit of black an application Oh
white cloth on the collar was extended
into something like revers on either SIDE
to the belt, and upon this were placed
three rows of narrow black braid This
scheme of decoration was at wrists and
the bottom of the skirt. Another style
consists of very full Turkish trousers that
fall well below the knee and are fastened,
and preclude the need of an extra skirt.
When the sleeve is short it is generally
puff set into band above the elbow. IN

How to Wash Lace.
So great a variety of lace is now used
for trimming all kinds of dresses and for
various toilet accessories that it is really
important to know how to clean it in the
best way. The very fine laces. such as
point, ETC., are of course worn only on
state occasio ms, and seldom require to be
cleaned. When they do, they should be

is done by experts. Various methods for
washing fine lace are recommended.
Among the colored laundresses in the
South the usual practice was to fill a
glass dish with cold soapsuds made of the
best quality of washing soap, put in the
lace and set in strong sunlight for two or
three hours If, much soiled the water
was changed. When sutfi ciently bleached
it was rinsed through several waters, put
ting in the last water if a yellow tint was
desired some clear, cold coffee. A very
little thin starch was used The lace
was dried on cushion, every point and
figure being gently pricked into shape and
fastened down with fine needle. When
dry it was placed between two pieces of
flannel and a heated iron passed over it.
A New England housekeeper considers
this the only way to accomplish success
fully the dainty work: Take strip of
white flannel and with needle and fine
thread sew the lace on to it, basting along
the edge and putting the right side of
the lace next to the flannel. Wash in
warm soapsuds and rinse through two
waters To the last rinse add a table
spoonful of powdered borax to quart OF
water. Dry and press before removing
from the flannel.
In washing any lace rubbing should be
avoided, as it twists and spoils the pat
tern. The best way to wash the heavy
woven laces is to soak them for at least
twelve hours in solution of two ounces
of borax to a quart of water squeeze out,
rinse, dry aad press between dannels.
