Hathrooms a Ia Mode.

AIilady's bathroom has grown to be in
its luxurious perfection a triumph Of artis-
tic cleverness. The skill OF the architect is
employed for special designs, and there is
no limit TO the decorations. Besides the
regular tub, which is beautiful as orna-
mental porcelain and silver can make it,
there is sitz bathtub with spray and
wave attachment and other apparatus to
suit the taste and convenience of the own
er. In some instances the room is lighted
by skylight or windows of stained glass in
exquisite designs of water nymphs and
goddesses. In many the beautiful works
of art, both in fresco and oil painting and
statuary in marble and bronze, represent a
small fortune, and loan exhibition OF
these treasures would create a profound
sensation in artistic circles. With these
voluptuous surroundings and the delicat,
atmosphere from the perfumed waters, the
whole is less suggestive of the Scriptural
injunction, 'Wash and be clean" than
"Stcep thy senses in luxury" Not thC
most extravagant, for where one has plenty
of money there is no extravaganza in put
ting large sums Of it in circulation, but
the one representing the most lavish ex
penditure is probably that Of Mrs. join
Jacob Astor, while a close second is that oi

UPS AND DOWNS OF FORTUNE.
A Poor Artists Brilliant Work UDexpect-
edly Brings to Him Fame.

Mr. Charles Noel Flagg, a New York
artist, who has lived much abroad, tells
some interesting stories of bohemian LIE
in Paris in the seventies. "Those were the
days" says Mr.. Flagg, when Meissonier
was Sir Oracle; when Bastien Lepage was
fighting his way to recognition as great
painter and giving the first hint Of new
school Of brilliant color, when the men OF
Barbizon, at the end of their lives, were
granted at last the place they had strug-
gled for when the fame of Claude Monet
was the secret of few enthusiasts. Con-
ditions and ideas were different among the
leaders from those which now prevail, but
the rank and file struggled and starved, re-
viled and hoped, very much the same as
today"
1t has been said that in France fame has
wings and that by single great success
she carries her votary to the top. Mr..
Flagg illustrates the truth of this by re-
lating an anecdote of a young Englishman
named Hawkins "Hewas so poor that he
lived on bread alone, soaking his loaf, bit
by bit, in or sous worth of wine. He
would sell pictures for or francs apiece,
and that sort Of grind went on for years.
At last he painted big picture, which all
the boys thought so fine that they chipped
IN Tor cheap frame ana sent IL 20 inc
Salon. 1t was a landscape, showing. n
graveyard, with children playing in the
sunlight, but there was no cheap senti-
mentality about tit was strong, manly
brilliant thing. For bravado we made him
set a big price on nit-something like 20, 900
francs.
"Well had picture in the Salon that
year, so went in on vanishing day and
wandered up and down among the no
tables, looking for my picture. Suddenly
/ saw the sky of Hawkins picture-that
was all 1 could see for the crowd around
it. And there was little Meissonier gestic-
ulating and exclaiming, That's the best
thing in the whole Salon, and Bastien
Lepage was pointing out this and that in
1t, and all the artists were admiring and
chattering. And, do you know, he was the
success of the year? The picture was bought
that day for its full price, and the next day
the carriages were lined up IN front of his
poor little studio and he sold every rag in
the place for any price he chose to set upon
it. He managed to hold on to his success
too 1t lasted so long as he lived. "-Har-

HOW TO WASH A SWEATER.
The Garment Can BE Thoroughly Cleansed
Without Shrinkage.


Without Shrinkage.
Fill pail two-thirds or three-quarters
full of cold water. In extremely cold
weather the water may be tempered lit
tle but let it be cold and not warm. Take
cake of good laundry soap-any good soap
that hasn't an excess of alkah will answer
the purpose-and rub between the hands
in the water for a moment Put in tea
spoonful Of ammonia and stir we'll Soak
the garment in this liquid for 15 minutes
or half an hour, and then souse and kncad
with the hands 50 as to squeeze out the
dirt, but not vigorously enough to impair
the garments shape Turn inside out and
repeat the process. Pour of the water,
which now contains all the dirt that was
in the garment and rinse very thoroughly
in several waters-cold water, of course
using the same motions as before. Lift the
garment from the rinsing water and lay it
over line or wooden frame to drip and
dry. When dry, turn right side out and the
job is done.
Observe the following cautions: II the
garment is one you care anything about,
wash it yourself. 1t will take but q few
moments, and you win be amply repaid
for the trouble. Put the soap in the watoy,
not in the garment Use good soap and
not very great deal Of It, Uso cold wa

with tub to catch the water, is usually
better than outdoors.) Don't leave where
1t is cold enough to freeze. Don't iron In
case the garment Is extremely dirty, use
more ammonia and soak longer If there
are grease spots, after soaking remove the
spots with ammonia, benzine or some kind
of cleansing compound and then proceed as
before described. have an all wool, close

Yours respectfully,
II. hIDGELY HARRINGTON.
They hold q meeting at Fourth and
Market streets every evening. At fre-
quent, but irregular. times they speak at
Fifth and Market and Sixth aud Market
streets Sometimes they hold NEE etings
at Tenth and Market streets, but that
Is too far up town to catch the crowd.
The meetings at the intersection Of the
busy streets above mentioned never
cause any trouble because the Ruthori.
ties are tolerant aud the people good
natured.
The action OF the Dover authorities
has, we believe, made more Single
Takers In Wilmington than all tn,
meetings they ever held here. Persocu.
tlcn begets sympathy, and sympathy
begetE converts. So 1t has been since
