A DISASTROUS EXPERIMENT.

she Wns only Trying TO Economize
bv Doing Her own Painting.
She is a young housewife trying to be
economical, and proudly announced the
othr day that she was painting her
own furniture and fixtures this spring.
81 should Judge so" shifted her hus-
band, for the air was filled with the
odor Of turpeutine that seemed to be-
come an ingredient of thefood. "lknew

YOU was the paint. really felt happy
in the thought that you would show
some appreciation, but suppose
must content myself with the approVai
of my own conscience"
Just as they we're about ready 70
start for a party that evening the wife
let out a piercing Shrek. She haa
thoughtlessly sat down on the edge OF
the bathtub for n second, but 1t was
long enough to daub whole section OF
her elegant gown. In his haste 70
reach her the husband fell over rock
er, strealdng and stripping his dress SUIT
with white paint. The pale-faeed
maid came running, and when she saw
that no one was killed, threw herself
into a chair that stuck to her with all
the tenacity of fresh varnish. The
coachman at the front door thought It
matter of life and death. He sprang
from his seat, gathered paint all along
the route, and went back to see the
team galloping wildly past a distant
electric light, while the carriage swung
from one side Of the street to the other.
They did not go to the party. The
wife burnt a collection of cheap brushes
and threw a can of paint into the alley.
The husband piled furniture into q
back shed with the vim of baggage
smasher, and made a contract with n
painter by telephone. The maid gave
notice, and the goodman is supposed
to have headed for his former home in
England.-Detroit Free Press.

a Great FavOrite.
The most novel orgGndie frock is ac-
Gordon plated. It is made of cream
white organdie scattered with yellow
wild roses, and has for its foundation
a yellow silk slip. The entire gown is
accordion plated, and the little skirt
stands out with a graceful stiffness. The
baby waist is made very full AID is worn
with a hand-tuclSed guimpe. Over the
short, puffed sleeves float accordion
plated epaulettes, which fall like half
closed fans and end in point below
the waist line. There are bows on each
shoulder, and a broad taffeta ribbon ties
about the waist, fastening at the left
side with a bow and ends. Accordion
plating is high in fashion for frocks
and hats, and even parasols for small
girls. When there are not entire gowns
Of accordion plating, there are accor-
dion-plaited skirts, which are worn with
silk waists.
Another organdie gown, quite as pref
ty as the one just described, is Of white

is trimmed in an unusually pretty fash
ion. The gored skirt is made with three
rows of Valenciennes lace insertion,
each row finished with a tiny rutie Of
lace. This makes the trimmed skirt,
which is so much in vogue this season.
The same lace trimming decorates the
full waist, which is worn with yoke
made of groups of tiny tucks and lace
I insertion. Around the waist pink
satin ribbon is wound, and from the
ribbon band ends in different lengths
fall over the skirt. The effect of the rib
bon ends falling over the skirt is excep-
tionally pretty. The sleeves are short,
the full puff tied with ribbon, from be-
Meath which frill of the organdie,
edged with lace, is seen. There are alsn
butterfly bows on the shoulders.
The pale tinted organdies are much
used for pretty frocls, and many OF
them are made up over white silk. Good
effects are also obtained by having the
organdie made over a slip which is q
shade or two darker than the organdie
itself, and then trimmed with very mar
row velvet tribbon.-Philadelp Times

she Gould Point 90 Her Camera TO
Prove II. t.s..
Mr.. Torlxins is fortunate in having
boen able to educate his wife TO an ap-
probation of the pleasures which he
enjoys AS an ardent devotee Of the
camera he has inspired her with the
same artistic enthusiasm which he feels
when he has secured an especially beau
tifSl or artistic picture.
1T is too bad for us to miss all the
skating" he remarked. I'VE are not 50
old as to deny ourselves one of the great
est enjoyments that the season affords"
"I don't know how to skate" was
the answer. "But don't let that make
any difference to you.p
"I shouldn't think of leaving you be-
hind" he rejoined gallantly. Its not
a matter OF any importance, and we'll
not say any more about it."
"That would make me feel very bad.
Now, we can go to the pond before sun
set. I'll dress myself warmly and go
with you and look on. / shall be very
much entertained in watching YOU"
That's so. Maybe I'll fall down for
you. Thatll be sure to amuse you.'
"Besides," she went on, never heed
ing the sarcasm, 81 can take the camera
with me and be on the lookout for some
thing new to photograph"
They set out, and in, short time he
was lightly slimming over the ice,
while his wife stood admiring the grace
with which he moved. They had sought
less frequented part of the pond, and
there was no one to warn him that be
was approaching spot Of danger.
There was a crackle, then a crash, and
in moment only a jagged hole in the
ice gave evidence Of Mr.. TorlSins' where
abouts. Some men who had heard him
cry as he went down came hurrying
to the rescue, and il was not long be-
fore he was at home.
II must say" he remarked, when he
was beginning to feel comfortable
once more, "that women haven't much
presence of mind.p
II hope" his wife answered, "tha'
you don't intend that remnrk TO apply
to me-"
81 certainly do"
''But what ground can you find fo
such an assertion, Charley? This after
noon"
