HELPS IN LAUNDRY WORK.
SIX Hints Given by nm Experienced

Six Hints Given by nm Experienced
Laundress.
Sort your clothes in five grades. First,
towels, table and bed linen; second,
family linen; third, light colored
clothes; fourth, dark colored clothes;
fifth, fannels and stockings.
Have plenty of the best soap, with
borax, starch and blueing at hand. Add
borax to the water in the proportion OF
one tablespoonful to pailful of water
Colored cotton clothing of delicate
shades should have the color set before
washing. Add of salt a heaping table
spoonful to each pailful of cold water
and do not apply soap directly to the
article.
In cold weather dry indoors to pre-
vent freezing. A little kerosene oil put
in the hot starch will prevent it from
sticking.
A teaspoonful of borax to quart OF
cold starch will make it stiff. Table
cloths should have as few creases in
them as possible. Crease them twice
lengthwise; have them very damp and
iron them perfectly dry; fold over once
or twice, according to their lengths,
and place them carefully in a long
drawer.
Fold napkins square with the initial
ON the outside. They should always
be ironed perfectly dry; then put away
nicely in the draw er.-C Chicago Tribune.

One of the most elegant mourning
costumes of the season is made Of
Priestley silk warp Henrietta cloth.
The skirt, waist and sleeves are plain
and exquisitely fitted. Three Grape
ruffies, with headings, are set on at the
foot of the skirt; the waist has an APP
piled vest of the Grape, with yoke at
the back. Over the shoulders are deep
ruffies Of the Grape graduated to run
into the darts on either side of the vest.
A high collar with Grape ruche and
Grape ruffles at the wrists complete the
trimming. The bonnet is made of puffa
of Grape, with crimped fans at either
side. These fans are spread and wired
up in wing fashion
A novelty waist is of old rose and
green and cray brocade. The body is a
modified bolero, pointed over a corse-
let on either side and at tho back. The
front is gathered where it is drawn
across the bust. There are enormously
wide revers, with sharp points. These
extend out over the sleeve tops and also
over the fronts of the sleeves just above
the bust, the sleeves are shirred in full
puffs at the tops and have fancy cuffs
of the material, with galloon and loops
of ribbon.

for the most popular young lady in
The Dalles. At the beginning OF the
contest a number ofyoung ladies names
were offered, but on Saturday evening
all had been withdrawn except Miss
Katie 2rogan and Miss Sandrock. In
all 1041 votes were cast, and Miss Bro
gan receiving the highest number was
awarded handsome set of bracelets.
Late in the evening a herd OF Elks
filed into the opera house to contest
for the silk flag to be awarded to the
most popular society in the city. and
after raising the vote accredited to the
Elks above danger line, chanced to OBJ
serve that their tyler, Engineer George
Ferguson, had only nine votes to his
credit as the most popular railroad
man on the division, proceeded TO en-
phasize his popularity, and it was no
time until he was neck-and-neck with
Billy Maher, who is conceded to be one
of the most popular railroad conductors
on the coast. This created somewhat
of rivalry, and the lady in charge of
the voting was kept busy eracing the
figures on the black board and writing
higher ones. Votes were 10 cents each,
and for time they increased by tens
and twenties. but just before time was
called 100 votes were added to Fcrgu
sons credit. making his record 722.
Billy Maher had 65S, John Pagan 165,
Jack Gallagher 9S, and some so votes
were credited to different railroad
mon. When the result was announced
the Elks got Ferguson on their shoul-
ders, hoisting him above the crowd,
and escorted him to the voting stand
where he was declared the winner.
The contest for the flag was not so
spirited, other societies apparently
having come to the conclusion that the
Ellzs had come after the flag and would
take it back to their hail regardless of
cost, which conclusion was not far from
correct. The Elks led in the vote with
$40, Co. G, o. N. G second with 345,
while there were about 200 scattering
votes for different societies.
The fair has indeed been a success
both socially and financially, the
church having realized a neat eur
from the sales. and certainly every
body who attended the fair was we'll
entertained.

THE MARRIAeEAsLE AGE.
n, yman's Period of Youth Has Advance


Ten Years.
'TIe great trouble with this particu-
lar ag e." remarked 4 young woman on
her tw 'enty-seventh birthday, lis that
pooDIe are so obviously wondering
whether or not one intends to get mar
ried, and opining that if so, one had
better be about it, lest she find herself
in the prec1icament of Jacky, of nursery
lore, of whom it is narrated that first
he would. then he wouldn't, then he
thoughthe would. and then he couldn't. ,
Or, as the Scotch gallantly put it, a
girl at eighteen wonders: who shall
take, at twenty-five who shall 1 get,
and at thirty who will take me?'"
You forget" remarked her listener.
that woman's period of youth has
movedt on a good ten years. In the
old-fashioned novel the heroine was in
variaGly sweet sixteen, never by any
chance either more or less. This gave
her twoyears in which to accomplish
the object of her being. since after the
venerable age of eighteen all possible
interest in her was supposed to cease.
Now you seldom find heroine of fc-
ton who interests you under twenty
six, and in q large number Of actual
marriage statistics the bride is between
twenty-five and thirty, and even older
low can child of sixteen or eighteen
form acy just estimate of Z mans char
ncter, or how it will accord with her
owr?"
Put, don't you think" said the first
speaker, sat that undevcloped age her
own character can grow into conformi-
ty with his, and that perhaps there
will be less conflict and greater happi-
ness thcrcby?"
''Oh, that is a medieval sort of view
implying the subjection of women,
who had better be out of the world
since it is now cut of the fashion, in
these days Of woman's suffrage meet

The Chainless Bicycle

The greatest innovation in the con.
struction of bicycles that has been
made since the '"safety" supplanted
the old "ordinary" is the chainless or
geared wheel. This machine in most
perfect form has been brought out by
the Pope Manufacturing Co., and will
be put on the markent as the 1898 Col
umbia. D. W. Wallace, representing
the company,is in the city with one of
the chainless wheels, and Dalles bicy-
clists are universally pleased with it's
appearance. 1t is beyond doubt the
most perfect bicycle that has yet been
placed on the market, and will prove a
general favorite.
