DOMESTIC ECONOMY,

How to Add Clothes Closets to Rooms
That Have None.
1t is common to find, especially in
houses some time built, sleeping-rooms
with no provision made for hanging
clothes; or, if provision has been made,
it is often inadequate. Houses now be-
ing built are usually well provided with
closets, but some of US are obliged to
live in dwellings built by a former gen
Grafton. To introduce closet into
room is not always an easy matter. One
of rectangular shape, built out into d
room, is likely to be stiff and also in the

corner has been utilized to give closet
space to a room without that conven-
fence. The work has been skilfully man.
aged here to make the closet appear to
be natural part of the room and not
an after-thought.
To this end the frieze of the WALL
paper is carried across the front part
of the closet. as is also the picture rail,
thus forming finish at the top of the
open space. At the bottom the base
board has, in effect. been carried across
the front of the closet, though in reality
it has in it a hinged panel. which is the
front of a triangular drawer. or box.

a place for boots, shoes, etc. The open

How to Remove Grease spots.

Many women do not like to use
naphtha in removing grease from their
clothing because of the odor which
clings TO the garment afterward. If the
fluid is properly refined it viii be with
out scent. But those who object to it
may try the following connection,
which is remarkably beneficial, in
stead: Dissolve two ounces of borax in
three pints boiling water. Before it is
cold add one teaspoonful of camphor

Literary Notes.

Jerome X. Jerome's last story, pre-
vious to his engagement to write two
plays, has been secured by Tie
Ladies' Home /OmnaL and is to be
printed in its January issue. 1t is
called "An Item of Fashionable In.
telligence," and deals with life il, the
circles of London.
BEECHER AS A SLAVE AUcTIoNEER.
Even people of mature years whose
memory is clear about matters before
and during the war have practically
forgotten that Henry Ward Beecher
used his pulpit in Plymouth Church,
Brooklyn. as an auction block for
slaves. The most famous of his
"slave sales" was that of the beautiful
girl, Sarah, and it was upon this oc-
casion that the most exciting scenes
ever witnessed in Plymouth Church,
or in any other American church for
that matter, occurred. Mr.. Beecher
was unusually dramatic: he put fire
into his words, as he stood the slave
girl on the platform beside him, which
fairly burned into the hearts of his
auditors. 1t was not long before the
people became almost hyster:cal with
excitement. But Beecher kept en-
until he was ready to pass the collec-
ton baskets. Then the auditors gave
vent to their feelings, and not only
heaps of money was put into the
baskets but men and women took off
their rings, unfastened their watches
and threw them into the baskets and
on the platform. 1t was remarkable
scene, and such a one as probably
will never be equaled in this country.
Mrs. Beecher recalls the event with
wonderful vividness in her article in
the Christmas Ladies H0me ./oHnah
when she tells the whole story OF
"When Mr. Beecher Sold Slaves in
Plymouth Pulpit" The scene is re-
markably well brought to the eye of
the reader by a striking illustration
made by De Thulstrup from material
furnished the artist by Mrs. Beecher.

"No Cure, No Pay"

Judge Joline was all ready to decide
what appeared to be a clear enough
case in the Camden District Court, re-
Gently, says the Philadelphia Record,
when an unlooked-for obstacle arose,
and he reserved decision. 1t was in
the trial of suit brought by DIR. c.
p. Finlaw, well-known specialist,
against f. Sitley, a prosperous grain
dealer. to recover one hundred and
fifty dollars.
The doctor stated his case briefly,
explaining that he had attended Mrs.
Sitley, and that Mr.. Sitley had refused
to pay his bill. That was plain enough,
but when the plaintiff was turned over
for cross-examInation to ex-Judge
Howard Carroll, as counsel for Sltley,
the case took a somewhat different
turn.
Doctor, this is a pamphlet Issued
by you, is it not?" asked the attorney,
presenting q small book issued as an
advertising circular by the doctor.
Yes, SIR" replied the plaintiff.
And are ali its statements true?
Eyes, sir"
Please turn to page ten
The doctor turned the leaves and
opened the designated page.
Now read the last line"
NO cure; no pay" quosed the plain
tiff.
That will do; that is our case; Mrs.
Sitley is dead" and the eN-judge pro-
ceeded to gather up his papers.
Judge Joline gave his spectacles a
twitch, gave a turn to his fluffy mus
tache, and said that he would decide
the case later on.

our friends and hate our enemies. If
thine enemies smite thee on one cheek,

obiec:-to live in oriental splendor-
