The India Silk Gown

India silks make the most useful and
satisfactory gowns; they are delight
fully cool and light, and shed the dust
and the plain colors do not soil easily;
but the objection-for of course there is
ain objection-is that if the entire gown
is made of the silk the skirts. after a
days journey, look so crumpled and
mussed as to look very ugly. Their the
material needs a good deal of trimming
to give it a smart look, and ruffles,
flounces and bands are apt to catch and
hold the dust. Figured India silks are
exempt from many of the drawback
just mentioned, and if one of these is
chosen let it be of a pattern we'll covered
with arabesque, dots and stripes in atin
on the plain ground. The skirt should be
made with seven cores, and trimmed
with one scant bias ruffle around the
foot. The waist will need lining, but
thin lawn will be heavy enough. Make
the back of the waist tight fitting over
the shoulders, and show the fullness
down at the belt The front should be
full and soft in blouse fashion, and can
have several clusters of small tucks. A
stock collar, detachable, and cuffs of the
silk on leg-of-mutton small sleeves. are
the smartest finish for neck and wrists.
Some pretty studs in gold or silver will
give finish to the wrist. Taffeta silks
are preferred by some people to Indias
but they are much warmer. The plain
dark colors. preferably black, are the
smartest and the palmer they are made
up the better; if possible the waist
should not be lined, as even the thinnest
lawn adds to the warmth with so closely
woven material as taffeta silk over 1t.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Do not forget in packing away silver
for the summer to put in few pieces of
camphor in the box with it. This will
help to keep the silver from becoming g
discolored, as it oftentimes will when
not in use.
Figs that have become dried may be
freshened by laying them upon a plats

the fruit is softened and full. Roll the
figs in confectioners sugar and let them

headed nails, the curtains can be readily
drawn upon it and it will not sag as a
piece of twine will.
A piece of narrow webbing, such as is
used for holding furniture springs in
place, sewed upon the under edge OF
rugs will prevent the corners from curl
ing; moreover, the rugs are not 80 likely
to pull out at, the ends when taken hold
of too near the edges when they are
beaten.
A zinc bathtub may be polished very
satisfactorily with kerosene. Have the
tub perfectly dry before using the oil.
cover one small place at time with the
oil, rubbing it well with brush and then
a cloth. When all parts have been
cleaned wash the tub out with boiling
water.
When perfumes are not disagreeable
to a patient it is well to use them freely
in a sick room, as they are protection
against contagion. 1t is said that ii
lavender water is sprayed through liv-
ing rooms of houses situated in mala-
rial locality it will prevent the occupants
from contracting the disease.
Now that the berry season has come
around the convenient little article for
hulling Strawberries will be doubly ap-
preciated. With a cherry stoner AMI
something for removing hulls on berries
the housewife does not look upon this
preserving season with such dread, and
stains upon dainty pink finger nails are
thing of the past.
Mothers in the country with children
will do we'll to visit the barn and secure
a box of oats to keep at hand. Wet shoes
as soon as they are removed from the
feet should be filled with oats and left
until perfectly dry. The oats absorb the
moisture in the leather and preserve the
shape of the shoe.
The back and arms of an old chair
that seems to be of no use will make an
excellent bed rest for an invalid. The
rest is made by cutting away the seat
and legs and padding the back and arms
with pieces of an old comfortable and
covering this with some delicate color
ed chintz or satine, or, when the rest IS
in use,one may fill the back and sides
with pillows.

A Society Girls Strange Wanderings

On bank of moss under spreading
elm tree in the Nyack woods a hand
some young woman sat reading a book
Of poems one day last week. There was
a strange look in her eyes, her cheeks
were bloodless, and occasionally she
sobbed Historically. In one hand SHE
held bunch of wild roses and her lap
was strewn with daisies and freshly
plucked flowers
She had arrived in Nyack on the early
morning train from New York. and her
strange actions had attracted the sus-
piciors of the police She spent some
time at the telegraph Office and sent sev
eral message to which she signed the
name Mary Lusk.''
Leaving the telegraph office, she had
walked toward the river and then turn
ed into the woods on South mountain.
The police in the meantime began to
search for her, fearing that she was con-
templating self-destruction.
In the afternoon the vague suspicious
of the authorities that there was some
thing amiss with the young lady were
confirmed, when Miss Marie Van Voorst
of Nyack, who had been visiting in
New York. arrived with Miss Lusk, hav-
il5 occh Sdiieu ny lne leleSrdnlS WHlcH
had been sent in the morning. They We're
were in state of great trepidation, and
explained that the name which the ap-
parently demented girl had signed to
her messages was correct She was in
reality Miss Mary Lusk, a daughter of
the late w. T. Lusk.
The woods of South mountain had al
ready been searched by the police, but
they were gone thoroughly over and the
young woman was found under the elm
tree in the attitude above described.
She was still hysterical and was taken
to the Van Voorst home and cared for
Miss Lusk was made hysterical by the
death of her father while she was away
from the city. She returned home pros
trated from grief and became hysterical
in the night. In the early morning she
left her home and started for Nyack and
went to the Van Voorst house. On learn
ing that Miss Van Voorst was in New
York she then sent the kilograms call
ing for her sister.-New York Journal

JUST WHAT SHE WANTED
The Cocktail Touched Her in Tender
Spot

Occasionally the good things of life
stray into unwonted channels. The ty-
rant man cannot monopolize all the ap-
petizing delicacies of the table or the
sideboard, even though he may feel in
clined to do so. A young man about
town recently had visit from friends
of his youth now residing in Iowa, where
the law reads: Thou shalt not tipple." i"
The party consisted of a gentleman, his
wife and daughter, and the city man was
exceedingly anxious to be in favor with
the entire party, especially the younger
member thereof. AS he lived at a hotel
he entertained the visitors there. The
dinner hour soon rolled around and the
little party strolled into the dining
room. They found the room filed to
overf1owing, and it was impossible to
get four seats together. After some
little delay it was arranged that the
elderly couple should sit at one table
and the young man and the daughter
sat at another This man had acquired
habit of prefacing a dinner with a
cocktail. He knew we'll the feeling of his
host on this subject, but he wanted the
cocktail badly He knew the waiter also,
and calling him over told him quietly
to bring a cocktail in a teacup The
waiter smiled knowingly and went off.
Shortly he returned with a teacup, and
the young man alone knew 1t contained
a cheering mixture of whisky and bit
ters.
The waiter was in his day and gen.
Grafton wise man. He had seen this
particular man drink in the house un-
der all conditions, but never by stealth.
He set his gigantic brain to work, and
he evolved the idea that the secresy was
for the benefit of the girl, so he set the
cup down directly in front of her and
smiled with a self-satisfied smirk at the
man. The man glowered and choked.
but could say nothing. The girl looked
suspiciously at the cup and then picked
it up and smelled it. Then great lighl
came into her face and she fairly
beamed. She raised the cup to her lips,
and pausing, smiled across at the man
and said, softly:
1T was so kind of you! Just what
wanted. No one but you would have
thought of it. Positively. you are a
genius" and while the mellow liquid
flowed down the girls throat the mau
sat and blinked and blinked. Now he
thinks the younger generation of that
village is not SO bad after all, and he
is talking Of making a long postponed
visit to his home.-Chicago Chronicle.
