THE HON
Shirt Waist Fasteninss.

With the revival of the shir waist
the fearful problem of how to keep the
dress skirt from sagging below the belt
at the back. All of the pins and most
of the other devices for keeping the skirt
and waist in harmony have an
undressed look that is unpleasant. The
detracts from the finished appearance
that even the most informal toilet
should possess At last a man seems to
have hit it off. He has made couple of
fastenings to sew to the skirt band at the
back, each of which is of metal and folds
over at the top. Under these two hooks
slips narrow metal belt which has a
slot cut out to catch the hooks. The belt
goes about the waist and fastens in front,
and over it goes the leather belt or silk
girdle or ribbon, or whatever one chooses
to wear. The dress is held as in vice in
place at the back. There is no chance for
it to tear 1t does not slip or sag. The
outside belt covers the whole arrange
ment so that it does not show at all. And
what is more wonderful, the metal belt is
so light it is not apparent to the wearer
at all. Strictly speaking don't suppose
that it can be so hygienic as to have ones
dress and skirt in one piece, but after
having said that / am bound to say that
for keeping q thin shirt waist and cloth
skirt where they belong 1 have never seen
the equal in efficiency of this patent
supporter. The belt and three sets of
hooks (for three different skirts) costs
but 25 cents.
A woman has at last devised an ar
rangement for making a skirt of the con-
ventional length of the skirt short
enough to walk in on country roads or
wet streets by "a simple turn of the wrist.
There have been many attempts to do

the first Congress, who made the bargain
with Hamilton whereby he saved his
funding bill, giving in return the capital
to the South. The epitaph reads:
"Here lies the remains of Richard

If he had an enemy on earth that enemy
knew him not. He died at Washington

his age"
In an obscure corner near the stone
wall large stone marks the grave of the
suicide, Tobias Lear, who executed i'm

deemed it his greatest title to fame that
he was the friend of Washington. The in

out on each hip through an ornamental
opening that is as natty in finish as the
breast pocket of tailor made jacket.
BY simply bringing the ends of the cord
together in front and fastening them
with an ornamental hook and eye, the
skirt is lifted evenly all around to any
degree one wishes, and the hands are free
to manage umbrella, etc.-New York
Letter in N E. Farmer.
Hints TO Housekeepers.
A corsage bouquet of violets may be
worn several times and still kept fresh
if the stems are wrapped in thin fringe
of batting that has been dipped in salt
and water and then rolled in tin foil of
are not being worn, keep them in cool
room, with the stems in glass of sailed
water and cover the flowers with tissue
paper to keep air from them.
When putting away silverware that is
not in use all the time do not neglect to
sprinkle few tiny bits of ca1nphor gum
in each case before rolling it up; then if
the silver is put away in a close box it
will not become discolored
| Few cooks understand the knack of
beating the whites of eggs easily. A
wire whisk is the best beaten. Have the
eggs cold, and always add pinch of salt
to them before commenting to beat. They
should be light and dry, and that means
to put air into them, so at each stroke
with the beaten lift it from the eggs, and
the work will be quickly accomplished.
In preparing room for a guest, if only
for d few days, do not neglect to place a
variety of books at her disposal. If there
/, is no book shelf in the room, books and
magazines should be placed on a low table
near the window, and care should be
taken to have the books bright and read
able. Many visitor has gone through
tortured sleepless nights in strange
house with not line of reading matter
to be gotten at.
