A BAD WIND UP.
The Disorderly Conclusion Of Social
Function.

The Disorderly Conclusion Of = Social
Function.
The function promised to be most
enjoyable one The hostess received
in gown that had the design of an
official ballot on it, and the voting
bonnets of the guests were generally
conceded to be dreams of loveliness. I"
| OF course, it was return party"
and the ladies took turns standing at
the telephone to receive and announce
the news.
| At the outset of all the ladies were
Of the opinion that it was "just too
jolly for anything" but that was be-
fore the returns began coming in. AT
ter that, of course, it was different.
Delighted to sec you," every ono
said to every one else when they met.
"Of course you voted?"
1t was. generally agreed that "the
suffrage was a charming function"
but, as before remarked, that was be-
fore the returns began coming in.
| With the first announcement one of
the ladies brought her dainty gloved
hands together and said "Good"
whereupon another one voted her "a
real mean thing"
II have right to be glad" protested
the first.
"Well, it's real spiteful Of you, any
way" returned the other. Just think
of the poor dear candidates on our
ticket
II won't either" retorted the frst
do you suppose a man ever does
that?"
II don't care whether he does or not.
1t shows lack Of heart, and think
it's mean; that's ALL"
Then the other ladies took hand in
the discussion, and that was how the
return party" broke up. Half of them
thought it very unsympathetic and
cruel to jubilate and the other half
thought that part of the political
game, and-well, between their sobs
that night some Of them declared that
politics was ''horrid" and that they
would never vote again.-Chicago

TIGHT SHOES.
The Tendency of Girls to Ill Use Their
Feet.

The Tendency of Girls to Ill Use Their
We are very thoughtful about our
hands, while we often treat our feet as
though we were ashamed of or had a
grudge against them, and wished to
make them as uncomfortable as possi-
BILE. Think of the number Of girls
who, in choosing pair of shoes, con-
slider the shoes and not the feet! And
SO they crowd the poor little members
into pitiless boots that are too short or
too narrow, and must be "broken in, :"
which dreadful phrase simply means
that the imprisoned foot must rebel
and stretch and strive till it pushes the
leather away or subdues the stubborn
resistance of seal and sole. A week of
torture, and then nature takes her re-
venge, and Minnie has corn, and
Susie has bunion, and Laura an in
growing nail and all because the boots
were not selected according to common
sense.
Sometimes girl insists on wearing
a very high -heeled slipper, which tilts
her forward and gives her an unbecom-
ing padding sort OF a walk, distressing
to herself and absurd in the eyes of her
friends. A slipper Of that sort is dis
tortion and very unlovely.
There are feet which can not be
properly fitted at the shoe shop For
these last should be made and every
pair of boots fitted individually. This
costs more at first, but shoes thus built
to order outwcar others, and are a COM
fort from their first to their final day.
"As easy as an old shoe" is proverb,
but like new shoes to be just as easy
as old ones-Harper's Young People.

Will Make Butter Out Of Lake Water and
Il Useful for EgRnOR.

VIII Make Butter Out Of Lake Water and
Il Useful for Egsnos.
''It is all in the dasher can come
pretty near making butter out OF Lake
Michigan water with my dasher."
An old man who has the appearance
of farmer has room in the vicinity
of the board of trade, and like every
man who comes to Chicago he has q
| scheme.
'Did you ever have to churn whom
you were a boy?" he asked Of q re-
porter who stalked into his room. ~
know l had to-" he continued land
I've got the backache yet. But now
churning is made easy. Why, l can
make butter as easy as you can fall of
that chair, provided you want to fall
of. Why, say. There'll be churning
societies first thing you know. Only
last night took my patent dasher and
one Of my small-sized tin churns down
on Michigan avenue. had an en-
gagement to call and show the dasher.
There were several society people who
had been invited out. You see how it
is. just as soon as society people be-
gin to understand that they can mako
butter in two minutes, and that's what
I'll warrant with my patent dasher,
they'll be having butter making par
ties In their parlors. As was saying,
/ went down on Michigan avenue last
night with my dashsr and tin churn,
and when went in the man said he
didn't have much milk. told him
that didn't make any difference. OF
course, you know, I suppose, that
the more milk you have the more
butter you get, provided the milk is
good. But he didn't have much milk.
| So put in some water, and then
churned about four minutes, and when
I was through l handed the man the
butter. Well, he thought there was
some trick about 1t and wanted me to
do it over again. It's all in the dasher,
and the dasher will work in any churn,
although tin churn is better than a
stone or a wooden one, because if the
churn is tin you can put it in hot or
cold water, whichever the condition of
the milk requires. sell the churn If
you want it. But it il not necessary.
L uc QdSHCE H. nd pdlu DC4oIC, ~ Ia
all In the dasher.''
AT this point the patentee rested
while he went down into his overcoat
pocket and pulled out dasher. Then
he filed glass jar with water, in
serted the dasher, and, as he raised and
lowered the dasher, he explained, as he
smiled
1.-THE dasher revolves one way when
it goes down and the other way when
1t comes up. In descending it creates
violent whirlpool, which draws down
to the bottom large volume of air,
thoroughly aerating the contents OF
the churn. The up stroke creates a
similar whirl at the bottom, drawing
out the air and with it a portion of the
animal odors These strokes being re-
peated bring the butter with great
rapidity and purify and gather it at
the same time. The dasher is simple.
1t is also handy for making eggnog."
And then, having amplihed, he turn
ed with that complacency SO character.
istic of the man with an invention and
said "If had some body to go in with
me on this, there's fortune in it. A
fortune, sir. l know what it is worth.
It's all in the dasher. A man can take
this dasher into the country and make
money hands down."-Chicago Tri-
bune.

Laundering Collars and Guns.

A word about the laundering OF
collars and cuffs. 1t is better, II pos.
sible, to have the linen done up at
home, as it is then washed clean and
1t does not receive the high polish in
ironing that so many laundries put
on-and put on, indeed, over the dirt
very often. The cuffs should be
,ironed fiat, SO that when the links
are put In they will have fat, oval
shape. The points of the cuffs should
be sharp. The linen Of q well-dressed
man never shines, It should be sim.
ply dead white. II one has to send
linen to the laundry the laundry peo-
pie should be told that polish" is
not desired. Almost all laundries, II
they are requested to do so, will iron
linen with what they call 'domes-
tic finish. ."-Harper's Bazaar.

The Boys Room.

Give the boy liberty in fixing up his
own room. Permit him to hang little
skeleton on the chandelier if he wishes

dainty choice Of pink and blue. Guide
his taste, but let him exercise his own
end individually. A dado of cigarette
pictures, a picture of Buffalo Bill charg-
ing on wild mustang hanging over the
foot of his bed, where he can see it the
first thing in the morning, would be

New York and Tnmmnny.

The Roosevelt Stronghold reform CITY
government OF New York has given sue"
general dissatisfaction tD tisc masses
there ia every prospect that at the next
election there the Democrats viii carry
the day. At the recent primaries io'

Yes. Tammany. is coming to the ifoh'
again. and under leaders who VIII pro-
badly be able TO unite the Democratic
vote of that great city.
A few months ago there were not
great many people In this country VINO
believed that It would be possible Tor the
Democrats to elect their presidential can
didate next year. Lately, there mas
been a great change of opinion on TINS
auestion. and the chief reason for this
4, that II now seems likely that the Demo-
Gratis can carry the State OF New YORK
next year. With New York Democratic
our presidential prospects would be good'
without New York our party would go
into battle with scant hope OF winning
We would have no stomach for the hght
II the Democrats Of New YORK were
found divided Into factions. and with their
fingers upon one another's threats.
The Republicans OF New York are re-
solved 10 give Governor Morton their vote
in their national nominating convention.
but we cannot believe that they are
very sanguine of success. AT the pres
ent moment Mr. Harrison appears 10 be
the leading candidate Of that party. He
hopes to get New YorlS's vote when Nor
ton IS dropped. on the Democratic side
the name Of w. e. whitney Is frequently
mentioned. OF David y. Hill we do not
hear so much as formerly. but If he is
asleep he no doubt has one eye open.
Mr. Carlisle Is unquestlonably a presi-
Dental aspirant. but he is much too dis
Greet TO let It be known until Mr. Cleve-
land has formally declared himself as TO
a third term. Vice-President Adlai T..
Stevenson is also regarded as a posi-
bility.
The truth IS that the improving Demo-
cratic prospect in New York makes II
quite certain that the Democrats will be
able TO command the services Of any
member Of their party whom the masses
desire.
IL the Democrats are successful next
year that success will come largely
through a political revolution In New
York, brought on by the absurdities OF
the so-called reform" city government.

Hnwa'i Revived.

The Washington Post says that the
story Of the organization Of a large fill
clustering expedition at San Francisco to
attack the Hawaiian Government and re-
enthrone the Queen. has given no cause
OF concern at the State Department. for
the reason that several similar publica-
tons recently have it is said. been shown
after careful investigation, to be ground
less.
There Is a better reaeon-namely, the
determination Of the people OF the United
States not to allow any other govern
ment than theirown to extend its protect
ing arms over Hawaii.
Men may come and men may 60"
but that determination will remain fixed
in the minds Of our people. Uncle Sam
Is in no hurry in these matters. The
charge that the Democratic Administra-
ton is playing into the hands OF the
Republican party on this question will
not stand the test Of investigation.
