Sneezing will stop hiccough when
everything else fails. Use snuff or

Every woman should own at least
one skirt bag for the protection of the
skirt of her best frock. The bags are
merely great square sacks of white
cotton made longer than the skirt
and having a draw string at the top.
Instead of folding the skirt or hang.
ing it up in the closet unprotected, il
is slipped into the bag. This keeps il
free from dust and wrinkles. A good
idea is to sew inside the skirt bag a
sachel of orris root and violet, so that
the dress skirt may have the sugges-
ton OF delicate perfume about it.

Francis A. Conley of philadelphia, who
is well known in this CITY, called on
the visiting committee of No. School
on Monday and made a request that
he be allowed to offer the teachers and
pupils Of No. School an opportunity
to procure a piano from the warerooms
of +. A. North e Co. in Philadelphia.
His plan is to give the piano to the
school within two weeks, provided that
in the meantime the pupils be allowed
to obtain 5-cent subscriptions toward
an entertainment, which will be held
in connection with the sentation of
the instrument. He made the propo-
si:ion that each pupil in the school be
provided with cards, upon each one Of
which five nicke! subscriptions may be
obtained. Each card is to be an ad-
mission to the entertainment, and each
child can handle as many cards as
desired. He also stated that he pro-
poses to give 10 each boy and girl
obtaining the greatest amount of money
gold watch. The committee and
teachers will confer and will decide az
to whether permission shall be given.
