LINEN FOR THE HOUSE.

There is no heater finish for sheets
than the hemstitched edge which d-
vides favor with buttonholed scallops.
All-white embroidery on colored
denim sofa pillows is appropriate. Bat
tenburg, Honiton and linen laces are in
favor for table and bed linen.
1t is said that if tablespoonful of
black pepper is placed in water in
which gray or buff linen is washed it
will keep the color intact.
A design should be suited to the room
for which it is intended as well as the
article. Portieres and bedspreads
should be embroidered in arabesques,
scrolls and bold, conventionalized de-
signs that give a greater effect of rich
ness and dignity than would flowers
and birds.
Embroidered initials for tablecloths
are usually two inches in height and are
placed close to one corner. On napkins
they are not half so large. On sheets
initials are placed just below the middle
of the top hem; on oblong pillow-cases
above the hem on the middle of the
open end and in the center of square
slips.

William E. de Verna, known in the

HEALTH NOTES.

Colds taken in summer or early aut-
umn are apt to be very troublesome;
they are usually easily checked in the
very beginning by inhalations of good
eau-de-cologne. This l have from the
best of authorities. Cologne acts as a
germicide.
AS soon as a person feels the first
symptoms of cold in the head or chest,
let him inhale as vigorously as possible
good strong cologne several times
daily by the nose or mouth, or both,
taking it in sharply until it makes the
inside of the nose and throat smart
well.

That is, if the lime weighs ten ounces,
and absorbs one more, and weighs II

a damp one.

That was called from over the way,
But It left its cheerful memory
Through a long and weary day.
Twas only gentle handclasp
That was given in sudden mood.
But It made all earth seem brighter

Twas only a bunch of flowers
That grew In garden fair,

her protectress in astonlshment.
"He--he only spole--it was only last
evening"" she said, wonderingly. "and /
told no one. How did you know,
Senora?" The Sonora laughed little
as sne withdrew her arm with q final
caress.
Those things are difficult to con-
ceal, my child" she said. Chiquita saw
that the Sonora did not care to speak
further on the subject, and therefore
forebore to question, though for time
she wondered greatly. Then Ramon
de Quesada rode by with glitter OF
bright colors and silver lace. He was
the magnate OF the district; his estates
were vast, and his cattle were more than
he could count. His family was greater
oven that of the Sonora. Like the
others he saluted the Senora's carriage,
and then seeing Chiquita he bowed TO
her, too, lowering his silver-trimmed
hat almost to his knee. Chiquita
swelled with pride. She wished that
Manuel could have seen that--and
Pablo also. Even the pail Of dust that
rose from the road and hung over them,
powdering Chiquita's black hair with
It's shining particles, could not lessen
her pride. But she was used TO the
lust-was born in it--so she hardly
gave it "a thought.
Tho sun rose higher until IL hung di-
rectly overhead, IA brazen ball set in
the light blue sky. So scorchingly hot
was il that even the little lizards
that flash over the plains retired TO
whatever place IL is that they go TO
when they wish for seclnsion. The
voices along the trail became less noisy
and finally stopped. The Sonora was
nodding; her fat, good-na.ured face re-
laxed, and she only waved her peacock
feather fan at spasmodic intervals. For
fear OF disturbing the Sonora, Chiquita
stopped wriggling about in her seat,
then her thoughts grew vague and err
ratio, only becoming clear at intervals
when the carriage jolted slightly.
which was but seldom, or crushed one Of
the bottles plentifully strewn on the
dust-cushioned road by those who had

Suddenly Chiquita reused herself
with a start. The driver of the carriage
was peeripg over the heads OF his oxen
and instinc,ively feeling in his sash for
the knife that was concealed there.
The road was blocked with wagons
that had stopped, SO the carriage. also.
had been brought 10 n stand. Several
men had left the trail and were gal
Looping over the desert; moro men were
Joining them, while those who stayed
behind shouted directions or warnings
20 them as they rode of. What they
said, Chiquita could not hear, though
she strained her ears 20 the utmost.
She looked again at the men who rode
over the desert. They were pursuing
some one, she could see that now quite
plainly; some one who wore a bright
serape and who rode gray horse.
Manuel rode such horse, and, truly.
she thought. with catching of her
breath. the scrapc also was his.
