DOMESTIC ECONOMY.
Ripping Up Garment Is n Task Requir-
ing Some Skill.

Ing some skill.
There is a general impression that it
is an easy enough matter to rip up a
garment. Almost anybody can do it,
and it is an undertaking that requires
no special skill or care. Acting on this
ieda, clothing is pulled, torn, cut with
knives, shipped with scissors and, final
ly, taken to pieces after this unprofta-
bic fashion, and the operator comes and
declares that everything is ready. A
dyer who handles Il large quantity of
black goods says that he long ago gave
up expecting anybody to rip garment
up as it should be done. If the seams
are ripped, they are full of threads;
sometimes there are buttons on; hooks
and eyes are not uncommon; the fronts
sorts, and Innings, facings, braids and
the like remain, in whole or in pieces,
just as the individual who had charge of
the disintegrating process happens to
leave them.
To rip up garment properly there
should be no pulling, tearing or drag
ging apart. If one cannot take the end
Of the thread and pull it out, the
stitches should be cut with u sharp
knife. Very few persons can rip gar
ment with scissors without doing it
great harm; indeed, many find it inn
possible to cut stitches with anything
without making holes that render the
goods absolutely worthless for the one
who originally wore it. When it is done
the edges are SO ragged that much
smaller pattern must be used. In pre-
pairing goods for the dyer or to be made
over, every stitch should be taken out.
1t seems scarcely necessary to say that
fastenings, braid and hooks and eyes
must be removed, but this is imperative,
In view of the condition in which the
garments come to the dressmaller and
the dyer. Many dresses, capes and jack
cts are perfectly wearable after being
carefully ripper, brushed, sponged and
pressed. 1t is a wonder that some one
does not set up an establishmentfo for rip
ping clothes and putting them in order
for the dressmaker. The owner of them
frequently has not time to do them
properly, or is too careless and under
stands too little the requirements of
them to do it, had she all the time in the
world. Some semi-invalid in every COM
munity might get toierable living, or
at least add to limited income, by pre-
pairing garments for remodeling.-St
Louis Globe-Democrat.

How to Wear Your handkerchief.

There is always right and wrong
way to carry ones handkerchief, as to
do everything else. Just now the only
proper way is to tuck the little square
of linen and lace in ones sleeve at the
wrist, allowing it to fall and partially
conceal the hand, somewhat after the
manner Of the pretty wrist founces on
the new sleeves. Do not commit so
marked a breach of good form as to
tuck your handkerchief in at any part
of your bodice, but if you want to get
the full ornamental value from its
pretty border of point de venise or Irish
lace, no more effectual method could
be devised than this newest fashion.
The single consideration, however, that
it is a new idea is perhaps having most
weight with the majority of women,
who are rapidly converting the fashion
into a fad.

TO PREVENT TUMBLES.
Simple But Effective Device for the
Chiidrens Bed.

Simple But Effective Device for the
Chiidren's Bed.
When little folks graduate from the
crib, with its safe, close sides, and come
into the dignity of sleeping in grown
up" bed, there is apt to be many a
tumble upon the floor in the darkness,
particularly if the time be summer,
when the bed clothing cannot be
tucked in" closely. Little people are
apt to be restless at night, after hard
days play, and in tossing about, 1T is
small wonder that they often fall out of
bed. The possibility of this catastrophe
has made unnumbered hosts of mothers
sleep with one eye open," ready to
spring up at the sound of unwonted
stirring in the next room.
Such nervous apprehension is weary
ing and altogether unnecessary, for
there are number of simple devices for
making the childrens' bed un-fall-out-
able, if I may so express the idea. One
of the best is shown in the accompany,
ing illustration. A strip of stout linen
denim or some other serviceable ma
terial is cut to the length of the bed
and hemmed about the edges, having a
broad hem at the bottom, through
which to tack the strip to the inside of
the side pieces of the bed, if both sides
are to be protected. If the bed can be

placed against wall, only the outer
side gill require strip tackled to it.
In the upper corners of the strip sew
metal rings, and insert hooks in the
head-board and foot-board as shown.
When the bed is made up in the morn
ing the strip can be folded in under the
quilts, to be removed and hooked up into
place at night. With such a device,
the mother can sleep in peace, quite GER
tain that the little folk will be found
in the morning where they were placed
at night-on the bed instead of under it,
where one mother whom L know found
her restless little girl, some hours after
she had put her to sleep. Country Cen

Remains of roast of lamb or mutton
can be served in variety of dainty
ways. For instance, cut the meat in
long, thin slices and heat them in but
tered baking dish with wine, preferably
sherry, and seasoning of salt, pepper
and Il little mustard. Serve very hot
with a garnish of fried tomatoes or OF
mushrooms and a highly-seasoned to-
mato sauce. Or the slices may be well
heated and served with a very rich white
sauce and fried croutons of bread thick
ly spread with anchovy butter. Cold
lamb chops are nice if trimmed, spread
thickly with puree of onions, dipped
in egg and bread crumbs and fried; then
garnished with parsley and served with
tomato sauce.

LUMINOUS CoMPLExIONS.
Striking Effects In Illumination Seen at
Paris Afternoon Tea.


Electric lights are out of date at
Paris society functions, and gas, can
dies and lamps have likewise been
superseded. Phosphorescent furniture
is the latest fad, and formed an inter-
esting feature of a unique "five o'clock
tea" which took place the other day
in the Rue de Longchamps, Paris. 1t
was not evident where the light came
from, but every object in the room
was luminous. The ceiling sparkled
as with diamonds. Chairs, carpet pic
lures, flowers, teacups-all emitted
luminous rays. Nor were these fasci-
mating CLEANS limited to the room and
it's furnishings, but the gowns of the
women were also brilliantly phosphor-
escent, while their compilations
cleaned like pearls flooded with moon
light.
AS this idea threatens to become n
fad of no small proportions, it should
be known by women who long to emit
this spoonlike radiance that there is a
luminous face powder which IS sAid to
fulfill its mission admirably. There is
also in the market luminous starch
with which the clever laundress can
give laces, muslins and all the dainty
articles of feminine attire perpetual
source of radiance. The idea of an in
visibly lighter room, its atmosphere
charged with luminous rays, is very
taking one, though it may be ques-
toned whether phosphorescent COM
plexions and self-luminous linen collars
would be becoming to all types of wom-

While working at my desk to-day
Striving to put my thoughts in rhyme,
l heard my little children say
What oft said in olden time,
Before my hair had turned to gray,
Before times wrinkles creased my brow
please, mother, do not keep us now,
But let us go and play!"
Their plaintive voices came to me
From the adjoining chamber, where
Both wife and children could see
When seated on my easy chair.
She kissed them tenderly, and they
With joyous shouts went to their game
They could not hear my heart exclaim.
"Oh, would that we could play!"
Oh! God, pray that Thou wilt leave
Their mother here until my boys
Can comprehend that they but grieve
Themselves when they leave her for TOYS
on! they'll remember when they pray,
For their dear mother when she's dead.
How often they to her have said:
Please let us go and play!"
Aye, in this life from day to day,
Unknowingly, we oft disdain
Our blessings and but wish for pain
When we scorn sacrifice for play

NO JOKE FOR THE JOKER,
When the Boot Is on the Other Foot
Laughing Ceases.


The practical joker was sauntering
along in the dusk. The inoffensive citi
zen was sauntering along in the same
dusk, unmindful of the presence of
the practical joker. The practical Joker,
recognizing friend in the inoffensive
citizen, chucklcd to himself and quick
ened himself to overtake him.
The inoffensive citizen was thinking
of story he had read about footpads
and wondering whether anyone would
ever try to hold him up. The practical
joker suddenly tipped the inotfensive
citizens hat over his eyes. The in
offensive citizen wheeled instantly and
landed a fine, large blow between the
practical joker's eyes, The practical
joker went down. The inoffensive citi-
zen promptly sat on him and hit him
again. The practical joker yelled:
For heavens sake don't hit Inc again.
John! Don't you know me?"
The inoffensive citizen said: Great
Scott!"
The practical joker said, in an in
jured tone: Hang it all, John, it's only
joke"
The inoffensive citizen looked at the
practical joker, who now had one eye
closed, and laughed. The practical
Joker angrily asserted that it was no
laughing matter
But you said it was joke" returned
the inoffensive citizen, "and think you
are right" And he laughed again. But
the practical joker hasn't been able to
see the point of it to this day. Still, it
was unquestionably a good jole.-Tit-
