now TO KEEP EMBROIDERED LIN
EMS BRIGHT AND FRESH.

That hand work on wash materials is FAR
more desirable than Oh silk and velvet, so
popular few years ago, cannot be doubt
ed, yet many women complain that the
colors fade and dinge so soon that the
work X labor thrown away. But this is
an error, for If properly laundried, wash
silks may be kept fresh ard bright until
the articles they alorn are past usefulness.
The doing of the embroidery is no daintier
work than that OF keeping it in good order,
and only by doing it herself can the tasty
woman have her fancy linens kept bright
and pretty.
When ready to do the work, select q
bright day, ill a small tub nearly full OF
warm water and add Il little Ivory soap to
make suds, put each piece in and wash
carefully. After each article is clean,
rinse in slightly blue water, 10 which u
little thin starch is added wiring and hang
IN the shade. When dry, sprinkle, fold,
and let stand half an hour. Iron on the
wrong side, pressing down heavily to
throw out the stitches of the embroidery,
thus restoring their original beauty.

Girls and Exercise.

In these days, when much is expected
Of women, the question of their phys
zeal training ought to receive more at
tention. In this respect girls are at a
disadvantage as compared with boys,
for up to eight or nine years of age a
girl mixes often on equal terms with
her brothers in their sports, but after
that age healthy exercise is sacrificed
to the bondage of genteel department.
The young girl is confined, and any
gymnastic exercises that are permitted
are too often performed in a close
room instead of the open air and I'M
der the restraint of ordinary clothing.
Anything like vigorous muscular
movements are thus rendered impos-
sible. and almost the sole exercise is
the torpid walk. Owing of the want
of functional activity of the muscular
system, the muscles waste and dwindle.
and the nutrition of the body becomes
impaired. Many of the troubles women
suffer from in later life are undoubt-
eddy due to impaired muscular vigor.
Girls need not emulate their brothers
in the cricket field, but rackets and
lawn tennis might with advantage be

the shore of Long Island Sound, six
miles east of Yale college.
| climbed the rugged rocks up to
"The Bungalow" piazza. Oriental rugs,
German aeolian harps, Japanese
screens, Indian wicker chairs and Mexl-
can hammocks were all around.
The Bungalow" like great pelican
perched upon it's rocky home, has for its
companions four cottages on the shore
side of the lawn, like 4 row OF Mother
Careys chickens" These belong to the
WilcoXes, and are cosy cots, named
"Sea-lawn, Mid-lawn Rock-lawn, and
Oaklawn," and are occupied by people
of the literary, musical and artistic
world, who thus share part of The
Bungalow" life, their relations being
fraternal rather than financial. 1t is
therefore a frequent occurrence for
them to meet in the Bungalow and to
contribute to the general fund of
amusement by music, song and the
other accomplishments, and to join in
the impromptu dances which almost
nightly, in the height of the season, are
liable to occur. Imagine the great le-
viathan, stranded upon a pebbly beach,
around which remnants of former for
est grew with green grass almost to the
waters edge, and bay of sapphire
stretching before you for a mile, where
it is merged into the darker waters OF
the Sound. Consider, then, the rock
upon which "The Bungalow" is built
as that leviathan; upon its gray back
stands the house, twenty-five feet above
the water: The winds buffet it, and the
angry waves thunder in impotent fury
against its rock base; the hurricanes
lash it with the spray Of the surf in
vain. From the windows of the home
then, as they madly turn, they blare as
you might from the windows of a
lighthouse, observe the tremendous
workings of the sea and wind. In
stormy weather one hears musical
notes swelling like an organ through
the windharps swinging in the breeze,
then, as they madly turn, they blare as
the wind increases, a strange, weird
accompaniment to the shrieking de-
mons of the storm.
The front of the house faces the bay
and Sound to the south, and is reached
by steps cut and built in the rock, or
on the east side by means of natural
stairway of rock. which was left with
out any artificial touches, and with the
rugged storm-torn cedars clinging to
the creyices. The Bungalow was
built, so to speak, by letter, Mr.. Wilcox
being absent. The architect who SUI

beautiful stroke, is an excellent in
structor in the art, and she has convert.
! ed all her young dryad friends into

The Bungalow" is a feature in the
social life at the beach Annually Mr.
and Mrs. Wilcox send out cards for a
bungalow hop. These are character
istic fetes. The invitations are written
in the scrawling hand of the fair host
ess on pale blue cards with The Bung
allow, Short Beach," raised in deeper
blue letters across the top. Throngs of
guests from New York, New Haven,
Hartford, and the numerous summer re-
sorts along the Connecticut coast are in
evidence for this annual gala night,
the hospitality of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
cox extending to an almost unlimited
circle of friends and acquaintance.
Mrs. Wilcox is very industrious, and
| although she has no regular Medo-
Persian rules as to time, she generally
writes some every day. She works
with intensity and earnestness: and
what her literary conscience tells her
has been neglected one day. she makes
up the next day, being capable of rapid
| and effective writing under pressure OF
| circumstances. She also possesses
| faculty of concentration of mind under
conditions that would madden most
persons. Ordinary conversation, music
and laughter, she does not mind, but
| am sure she is more often hindered
than most writers are by wellmeaning
bores, who monopoliZe her valuable
time by nonsensical conversation; or
by boOrish idiots, who allow their
curiosity TO drive them to the indecent
act OF peering through windows, as if
at some wild beast show. Mrs Wilcox
writes without the use of many notes
or books of reference, and her original
manuscripts show wonderful lack of
| changes or corrections
i wrote my first novel," says Mrs.
Wilcox, ION the backs of old letters,
seated from time to time in the boughs
| or an old apple tree. My home was
in Central Michigan, and l saw moth
| ing but that bit of country until my
marriage. / divided my novel into
chapters, and put little poetic lines at
the top of each chapter. Original? Yes!
| But my friends told me that authors
| always quoted those verses at the head
of their chapters, and SO, ever after |
had a contempt for authors who could
| not write their own verses"

MERIT MEANS MONEY MADE

You cannot advertise money out OF peo
pies pockets all the time you may do it now
and then, but if you don't give them some
thing of absolute merit in return, advertis-
ing will never prove successful. The kind
of advertising that pays is advertising a
good thing. As it has the merit people will
use 1T again and again. Never has it been
better illustrated than in the great success
OF Cascarets, candy cathartic, that we have
been lately advertising in this paper. All
Druggists call Cascarets repeaters. that is,
people buy them, like them, and buy them
again and recommend them to their friends
Cascarets are guaranteed to cure constipa-
tion OF money refunded, and are delight
fui laxative and liver stimulant; the best
medicine ever made. We recommend all

Mr.. Wilcox has been great traveller

place of swarm of good swimmers, of
whom Short Beach has large number.
The writer has often accompanied Mrs.
Wilcox and her swimming parties, and
can vouch that as an amateur she is
very expert. The swim to and from
