Views Of q Literary Laundress.

An English woman, the author Of a
popular book on laundry work, gives
her method of washing flannels, which
she says keeps them as soft and I'M
shrunken as when new. Cut into shreds
pound of good yellow soap in sauce
pan, cover with two quarts of water
and set over the fire till dissolved. Set
away until the next day. Fill two
large saucepans with water as hot as
you can bear the hands in, and add
enough Of the soap jelly to one of them
to make the water soft and soapy and
to have a creamy lather. Take the
dirtiest fiannels, put them in the water
and rub lightly with the hands, giving
any spots that are very much soiled an
extra rubbing. Squeeze from the
soapy water and wash thoroughly in the
other water to free from the soap. This
water should be as hot as the first.
Wash the garments one by one so that
they do not soak in the water Pass
through a wringer or press out the
moisture in dry sheet; pull into shape
and dry quickly. Press with a warm
iron.

be available soon again. When a
church once got him, it would keep him.
He had in him the making of a great
devine, and he was sure to go high in
ecclesiastical orders.
Such a recommendation, and from
so high an authority, had been entirely
sufficient for the vestry of st. Eliza
.beth's, and, to use very common ex-
preston, they had jumped at the
chance. Now they were seriously con-
isidering whether or not they had been
taken in by theological subterfuge.
Might not the bishop. if designated as
authority and appealed to, say that he
had merely given an individual, private
and casual opinion, and could the YES
try say otherwise? Surely that execu-
tive body was in quandary.
There was one, however, who.
though she felt tremulous over the
trial, never for a moment doubted the
young clergyman's ability to come out
of the ordeal triumphantly, and that
was Katharine Harmon, the girl who
loved him. She was the daughter of
one of the vestrymen, Abram Harmon.
and she frequently heard from her faith
er the fears and misgivings which agi-
tated the body of which he was men,
Der. While, naturally, he could not be
exultant, yet there was ring of some
thing like satisfaction in the tone in
which he expressed the belief that the
vestry had made grave mistake, and
that Dwight Harfield would not fill the
requirements Of the church.
Katharine and Harfeld had been
perfectly honest with the staid old gen.
tleman. He knew of the love that from
childhood up had existed between them,
and while he did not actually disc6un-
tenance it, he looked upon their affec-
ton with no favorable eye. He did not
fancy a minister for a son-in-law. So
when before entering upon his special
theological course Harfield had asked
his sanction to their betrothal, he had
been given to understand that he was
only tolerated on probation, and that
the subsequent confirmation of his po-
sition depended entirely upon his &C.
complishing something.
What that something should be, OF

Well Acquainted.

Mrs. Cleveland, while out shopping
with a friend recently. bought a num-
Der of feminine articles at a big dry
goods store The ladies were attended
by dapper knight of the scissors and
tape, who apparently knew them. After
the purchase was made Mrs. Cleveland
said to the clerk. "Of course you know
where to send these" referring to her
purchases. The dry-goods clerk looked
a little panied, and happily replied:

Of st. Elizabeth's was quite as wealthy,
fashionable and aristocratic as any
which this particular western town Of
5000 inhabitants afforded. 1t drew its
communicates from among the mer-
chants, lawyers, physicians and teach
ers Of the city. And the possession Of a
pew, whether one ever occupied it or
not, at this very proper church was con-
sidered to be one of the essential re-
quirements for entrance into the good
society Of the town in question.
There had always been over this
church some man just old enough, just
onll enough and just conventional
enough to be correct and proper. But
Rhis latest act Of supposedly intelli-
gent Vestry had knocked all the tradi-
uons and presidents sky high. There
were some who said the young clergy
man should have been allowed to go to
some smaller charge before coming to
one so important as st. Elizabeths.

There were potent reasons why This

would come, in spite of its manifest re-
nection upon the reverend dignitary-
that the bishop of the diocese, upon
whose casual words they had so con-
ndently depended, were, after all, only
an interested friend Of young
Harfield's, and his words, the
words that had trapped them, only

very unpleasant for the vestry to con-

the insistent thought.

Riding Club ana tn" Bsn.flis That It
Would Confer.

A Riding Club ana tn" Bsn.flis That 1t
Would Confer.
1t aeems rather curious to the close
observer of society fads and customs,
that the ladies Of Los Angeles have, up
to the time being, never attempted to
form a riding club like those in ell cities
az San Francisco, Chicago, New York,
London, Berlin and Psrie, where they
ever prove source of social entertain
ment and great pleasure.
There are many good horse.women in
this city, and If but few could practi-
cally convince themselves of the im
mense sport which q cross-country ride
afforde, the ladies would soon, in prefer
ence for it, give I'D many OF their tanner
ADJUSTMENTS st home.
To say the least, horseback riding is
always healthy pastime and exercise.
which calls every muscle of the body
into play without over exertion, and
gives the fair rider rudy. pleasing
complexion, an easy, cree. carriage and
o grsceful bearing.
Every lady with q good will, triHs
of patience. and a little courage, which
latter naturally increases in time, can
become an expert in horseback riding
under the guidance of kind and good
instructor.
1t is to be hoped that the problem
will soon be solved, and that graceful
horse women will crowd the many pleas
ant thoroughfares herenbouts.
AS soon as the formation OF riding
club is effected. the next important
question, which hobs up after suta BILE
and convenient arena is formed, is:
Who shall be the instructor?
Captain r. A. Falkenbsrg possesses
all necessary qualities, and should be
competent to fill the place satisfactorily,
il it is taken into consideration that he
has served as lieutenant in the exclu-
sive regiment of the German royal body
horse guards, and was entrusted with
the instruction of several ladies in horse
manship at the royal court in Prussia,
although native Of Louisiana.
