EoRoET-ME.Nor Dolly.
Unquestionably One OF the Most Attrao-
tive Patterns of the Hour.

Internationally One OF the Most Attrao-
tive Patterns of the Hour.
To work this dainty little dolly you
will need piece of linen about nine
incnes square. The fine pillow case
linen-which comes ffty-four inches
wide and one dollar per yard-you will
find the most satisfactory for this; and
a quarter of a yard will make you set
of six doilies, eight inches in diameter,
the size for finger bowls and bread and
butter plates.
To transfer the design to the linen:
If the design is the desired size, place
the linen over it, taking care to have
the center of the design and the linen
exactly together; pin them so they will
not slip, place on pane of glass which
can be leaned against the window,
when the design will show through the
linen and can be drawn very quickly
and easily with sharp pencil.
Do not try to reproduce the design
with impression paper; it is almost sure
to soil your work, is difficult to cover,
and false line will not rub out-and
in needle work, perfect neatness is one
of the first essentials of success.
Should it be necessary to enlarge the
pattern, the simplest way will be to
draw a circle on your linen about
eight inches in diameter. For this
purpose take a narrow strip of card
board and passing a pin through the
end, pass it through the center of the
linen firmly into table or lap-board.
Measure four inches along the card
board; pass the point and, holding the
pencil erect, describe a circle on the
linen. In this way you will easily and
correctly draw circles of any size for
any purpose.
Having gotten the outside dimen-
sions of your dolly, cut from bit of
cardboard scallop the size and shape
of this; place this on the linen with the
point touching the circle. A little ex-
perimenting will teach you how far
apart to place them, and in this way
the design may be adapted to any size
of dolly, from the tiny butter plate to
a center piece.
For the forget-me-nots and ribbon
| you will have to depend more on your
knowledge of drawing, though their
| form is so simple | am sure you will
have no trouble with them.
To embroider them use either pure
white or the natural colors, executing

cnre Of Shoe Nhen wet.

A woman dislilkes to get her nice new
shoes wet because it spoils them so;
but with care, the wetting will not hurt
them much. AS soon as the wet shoes
can be removed, rub them well with a
soft cloth to get some of the dampness
out. and remove all the mud, then rub
them with a cloth saturated with kerO-
sene or vaseline. Get as much of the
oil into them as possible, and stuff the
shoes into shape, setting them aside for
a few hours. Another application OF
oil and rubbing will remove all stiff
ness, and the shoes will be in order
when wanted.-Farm and Fireslde.

The latest idea of French physicians
is to cure colds by applying ice to the
spine. just now, when the abrupt
changes in the weather have brought in
huenza, bronchitis or some kind red
trouble, on e is always glad to hear
of some new remedies for ''the
cold; but few, we imagine, will be
daring enough to apply this one. Yet
the infammatory sore throat that few
years ago most people treated by poul-
tees and warmth, is now quickly cured
by sucking ice and keeping the victim
in low temperature, and in really
feverish cold ice might be of genuine
use.

Queen Victoria, as is well known,
frequently gives away as presents cash
mere shawls. One of these was not
long ago bestowed on Sir Ellis Ash
mead Bartlett's friend, the Swazie
queen. We note in the Cape Argus that
her duslzy majesty has turned the gift
to practical use. The shawl was cut in
two and given to two of the queens
handmaidens, who duly smeared the
pieces with fat and use them nightly
to keep their bodies warm.

Cleaning shop-worn Corsets.

A good way to rejuvenate a shop
worn corset, or any other for that mat
ter, is to scrub it with brush dipped
in strong solution of ammonia and
water. All the steels should be first
removed, and the corset then tackled to
a board, on which it should be both
scrubbed and dried. For washing
shirt waists in delicate cottons it is
best to use white CASTLE soap and dry
them away from the sun.-Philadel-

THEIR SILVER WEDDING.
An Elaborate Observance of the Event
by MI. and Mrs. John Schempf.

An Elaborate Observance of the Event
by MI. and Mrs. John Schempf.
A precedent long since established
of becomingly observing the twenty
fifth anniversary Of a couples married
life associated itself with our esteemed
residents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Schempf,
last Wednesday evening, May s, 1895,
when they and their family of two sons
and two daughters were the central
figures at most interesting gathering.
The event was fairly effervescent with
genlality, good cheer and unbounded
m erriment. and the traditional German
we're everywhere in evidence. Moth
ing, indeed. was lacking for the entire
enjoyment of those entertained as well
as the entertainers.
The invitations, handsomely en-
graved and embossed in silver, issued
to 100 relatives and intimate friends,
bid the guests to convene at O'Clock.
and it was at this hour that the elabOr-
ate festivities began. The pleasant
homestead at No 7O2 Sixth street was
aglare with brilliant lights, while the
lawn surrounding was also made cheer
full with a myriad of Japanese lanterns.
Palms, smilax and cut flowers, with a
predominance of roses, formed the in
terror house decorations, the latter two
also embellishing the supper tables, at
which the guests were seated soon af
ter arrival. A sumptuous repast, which
received the highest con- pliments, was
served, and this was followed by the
ever popular recreation, dancing, the
parlors being canvassed for this pur-
pose and Hardege's orchestra provid
ing music. Other social diversions of
various nature were INDUCED in, and
it was not until an early morning hour
that the happy company reluctantly
broke up. A pleasing and appreciate
feature of the occasion was the sere-
made rendered the groom and bride by
the Concordia society.
The arrival of this auspicious epoch
in the married career of Mr.. and Mrs.
Schempf was the cause for many con-
gratulations and best wishes, which
they received with their usual cordial
itY. A very numerous and elegant ar
ray of costly gifts, all significant of
silver wedding anniversary, left indel-
'ible remembrances from kind friends.
On the whole, the host and hostess
must have been highly gratified over
the entire success and many pleasures
which the celebration brought forth.
The guests from abroad included Mr..
and Mrs. H. Schroeder and daughter,
F. Kleinboehl and daughter, Bruno
Moeller, Otto Schulz and G.. T. Welt

and Mrs. H. G. Christians, of Johnson

Deafness Cannot Bo Cured
