WOMAN AND HOME

Jenness Miller Monthly gives the follow
ing instructions: First shake bit of pow
der in the glove, because it will aid you in
getting the glove on and off in case the
hand perspires. Then place your elbow
firmly on the table or counter, the hand
upright, the thumb at right angles with
the palm. Draw the body of the glove
over the fingers ard arrange each digit in
the glove finger intended for it.
See that the fingers are not twisted and
that the outer scam of the glove is at the
edge of the palm and not pulled around on
the back of the hand Carefully coax on
the fingers, making sure that the fingers
nre fitted, and smooth the back stitching in
to place. Then the thumb may be inserted,
The back seams again pulled straight and
the wrist buttoned. If the back seams are
awry or the finger seams az twisted, pull
off the glove Immediately and fit it cor
rectly before palling on the thumb and
buttoning. By keeping the hand upright
and the fingers rigid and working careful
ly much time and tear are avoided, and q
well fitting glove is worth the trouble of a
first careful putting on. The seam at the
tip of the thumb should be in line with the
middle of the thumb nail. Always fasten
the second button first.

Logical Laura NJ. Johns.

The Statesman of Boise, Ida., says Of =
lecture given in that city:
Mrs Johns wasted no time in prelimi-
naries. She came right to the point, and
she talked so interestingly, so earnestly
and so logically that when she had con-
cluded the audience could hardly realize
the lecture had occupied nearly an hour
and half. The speaker took the broad
ground that to deny the ballot to the wom-
en- of the land was in violation of one Of
the cardinal principles of the government.
The line Of representation could not be
drawn at creed, color or sex. Mrs. Johns
took up one by one some Of the arguments
advanced against the move for political
equality and tore them to shreds. Among
other things, she said it was not because
women desired to repudiate the duties Of
the home that they wanted the privilege Of
the franchise. They wanted it because
they were loyal to the homes and because
they wanted to see those homes protected.
The suffrage would make them better
wives, better mothers, better homemakers

Sickbed Hints.

The most trying time for sick person,
says an authority, is between the hours of
! and in the morning. Vitality becomes
diminished, and the strength should there
fore be fortified as far as possible with
some strong food, either soup or egg or
milk, about midnight. The nurse should
always make the meals look as tempting as
possible, with snowy serviettes, sparkling
glass and always hoyeer or two in q
dainty vase Even spray of mignonette
will often work wonders in interesting and
pleasing the patient. These small details
are too often omitted by the nurse on the
plea Of not having time to see to them, but
they ought to be considered as essential to
the progress of the patient as the punctual
administration of the medicine itself. Of
ten they are more potent than this last. 1t
Is very certain, too, that the nurse who
would find such details Of her service irk
some is no true nurse and ought not to be
intrusted with the care of a sick person.
Further, it is u mistake to leave untouched
food by persons bedside in the hope that
he will eat it later on. He will simply be
disgusted with food altogether. Many sick
people have great craving for tea, and
when this is the case the tea leaves should
be infused in boiling milk instead of wa
ter, thus forming a very strengthening and
refreshing beverage. York Ledger.

Dyspeptic wall Coverings.

A wise woman asks the question, How
may women choose their wall papers with
disregard Of the rooms the papers arc to
cover and the lights which will shine upon
them? Every builder and landlord is con-
ceded the proud privilege of covering walls
with dyspeptic looking yellows and greens,
designed to make "sweet sixteen" herself
look haggard, but it Is to be feared that
many women who select their own hang
ings are almost equally negligent. In
dimly lighted rooms the colors must be
brighter to atone for the lack Of sunlight.
Yellows and some warm shades Of red and
reddish brown give cheerful aspect even
to dlmly lighted rooms. Blues, grays and
greens are cool and give the effect Of great
size. Some of the prettiest wall coverings
are not of paper, but Of burlaps. This is
particularly charming in summer cottages.
An artistic example of the use Of burlaps
is seen in newly built house, where one
room Is hung in the creamy brown fabric
below deep frieze Of brown, stenciled in
gold. Curtains and portieres should bear
at least a faint family likeness to each 9TH
er when they are hung in the same room,
and they should have their coloring deter
mined by the wall paper. OF course silk
or chenille portieres are not expected to re-
semble dimity or muslin curtains, but
when the windows are draped with thick
materials they should be Of practically the
same hues as the doorway draperies. The
vivid eastern fabrics which show weird
but not unattractive figures on red, blue
and green backgrounds are admirably
adapted for summer hangings. They are
bright in color without being "stuffy," I"
which is a consummation seldom attained

Turkish Girls.

Turkish girls of the better class in the
cities, after they are too old to attend the
primary schools, are largely educated at
home by governesses, many of whom come
from England and France. but unfortu-
nately do not always represent the highest
culture Of these nations, so that real love
of study is not, as rule developed under
their influence Turkish women have a
great aptitude for foreign languages, and
those met Oh the steamers of the Bosporus
often speak French, and it is not unusual
for them to speak German and English
also.
1t is we'll known fact that many Turk
ish women are engaged in trade, some
even carrying On an extensive business, in
volying frequent journeys to Egypt and
other places, which presupposes the ability
to read and write, as well as some knowl-
edge of arithmetic Moreover, conversa-
tion with the Mussulman woman in the
capital reveals some progress at the present
time in independence of thought, and
while social conditions have unavoidably
arrested the development of Turkish WON
en- as class forces are slowly but surely
working among them that will result in
their final emancipation.

To Preserve Bouquets.

A florist Of many years. experience gives
the following recipe for preserving bou-
quets: When you receive bouquet, sprin-
kle it lightly with fresh water; then put it
into vessel containing some soapsuds,
which nourish the roots and keep the flow
ers as bright as new. Take the bouquet
out of the suds every morning and lay it
sideways in fresh water, the stock entering
first into the water; keep it there min
ute or two; then take it out and sprin-
kle the flowers lightly by the hand with
pure water. Replace the bouquet in the
soapsuds, and the flowers will bloom as
fresh as when first gathered. The soap
suds need to be changed every third day.
By observing these rules bouquet can be
kept bright and beautiful for at least one
month and will last still longer in a very
passable state, but the attention to the fair
and frail creatures, as directed above, must
be strictly observed.

A Polish For Linen.

A laundry polish for Shirts collars and
cuffs may be made as follows: Melt to-
gcthor an ounce Of white wax and ounces
of epcrmaceti with large spoonful of salt.
Dissolve these ingredients over q slow fire
and pour into a wet cup to cool. Mako
boiled starch in the usual way, cooking it
slowly for 20 minutes, and for every table,
spoonful of dry starch used put in a lump of
the above preparation about as large as q
cherry. Use no cold starch and do not
sprinkle. When the starched pieces are
dry, lay them in wet towel for two hours
and bring up the gloss by rubbing evenly
with the heel of a polishing iron. The
great secret in glazing starched goods is to
use the polishing iron properly.

One of the most unique societies for
women in this country is that of the Mystic
Sisters of America. The Mystic sister
hood, which was organized in 1889 by
Miss Edith Kreiner Of Jersey City, has for
its object the advancement of puzzles, enig-
mas and general literary pursuits. The
members of the Mystic Sisters, though
only 30 in number, may be found in near

persons interested in the puzzle columns

the entertainment of the readers. The

water, which may, Of course, be heated il

brushes at the bottom of the machine and

the motion of the machine itself scrub the
floor. At the back of these brushes and
over the two back WHEELS is another tank,
in which the dirt and water are carried.
The wiping apparatus consists of an end
less band of absorbent material made es-
pecially for tho purpose This band Is
pressed upon the floor by rotary brushes, so
that the cloth accommodates itself to the
inequalities of the floor The cloth is
rinsed out mechanically as it leaves the
floor and passes through the tank at the
back. 1t is not necessary to sweep the floos
before scrubbing. Enquiries.
