PICTURESQUE ECONOMY.
Style of Laundry Work Said to Prevail
-in Boarding Houses.

-in Boarding Houses.
A peculiar appearance in the front
windows of an aristocratic boarding
house on one of the leading avenues
caused n discussion among passers-by.
in each pane was square of white
muslin with embroidered edges, which
was apparently glued to the pane.
That's n queer way of keeping out
the light, observed one citizen to an
other.
Must be some new method Of deco
ration remarked another.
Don't you know what that is?" said
ayoung woman TO her husband. "Thats
a window laundry"
And what may that be?"
Its the way ladies who board wash
their fine handkerchiefs. You see it
dries and irons them at the same time" 3"

that they adhere like postage stamps.
How do they do it?"
"0h, you first catch your window,
then you wash the panes and place the
handkerchief against them, wringing
wet. They stick like a plaster, and
when they come off are as smooth as
satin. In that way every woman can
be her own laundress."
Il see" said her husband, thought
fully, why SO many families board"

was wearisome to look at all the royal
sham. Those few women that carried
real blossoms were easily distinguish
able For the girl that wore the imita-
tion was content with a very tawdry
and cheap variety; and the eye turned
from the glaring purple to the softer
and more restful tints of the natural
flower
The milliners were overrun with
violets and purchasers of them. Wom-
en- took off their hats and laid the
different hues upon their brims, to see
whether they could be made charming
in any way with the colors already
thereon. Purple is an accommodating
tint, and is never altogether incon-
gruous. So many of the women stuck
the bunch of violets in their hats, right
there in the shop, and rallied forth to
join the march. 1t was curious to see
them give each other quick glances-
first up at the hat, then down at the
bosom.

ing the measures for ladies' bifurcated
neither garments is how to get the leg
seam. BY using this method there is,
as Mr.. Podsnap would remark, no oc-
casion to bring a blush on the check of
young person.
First take the length from point A
to the ground. then ask the lady TO take
a seat on flat-bottomed chair, and
take the measure from to D; deduct
this from the first measure and you
have the leg seam, q T. d."

TO RESIST THE Alta CK
of the gers of Consumption,
Scrofula, Grip, Malaria, and many
other diseases-means fight or die
for all of us. These germs are every.
where in the air we breathe. The
odds are in favor of the germs, if
our liver is inactive and our blood
impure.
What is needed most is an increase
in our germ-fghting strength. To
do this successfully you need to put
on healthy flesh, rouse the 'liver to
vigorous action, so it will throw off
these germs, and purify the blood SO
that there will be no "weak spot"
nor soil for germ-g growth.
We claim for DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, that it does all
this in way peculiar to itself. 1t is
the development of generations of
medical thought-it has stood the
test of quarter of century of
cures.
That is why the makers can guar
ontee it. In every trouble caused by
