throwing back the beds to air. opening
the bedroom windows and removing
waste water from the rooms. Break
fast comes next, and after this the
house girl clears the table and washes
the silver and better china, the re-
mainder going into the kitchen for the
cook, who also attends to the washing
and ironing.
The dining room is then busted and
the crumbs picked up, as it does not
need sweeping every day, and the maid
goes to the drawing room to dust that.
Then the beds are made and the rooms
busted, and by this time the luncheon
table must be set and the family

WEEKLY ROUTINE.
Every day some extra work can be
done in the afternoon in place of leav-
ing the bulk of it for the last of the
week
For example. on Monday give the SER
wants room its weekly cleaning, and
sweep all of the stairs and halls; on
Tuesday take the dining room and also
TO do her own ironing. Caring for the
dining room means to keep the side
board and closets in perfect orcer and
windows washed every week.
On Wednesday the parlOr receives
thorough overhauling, and on al Arnate
THURSDAYS the silver should be cleaned,
the remaining Thursdays being the
girls day out, from luncheon until 10
O'Clock. The cook takes the alternate
Thursdays, and then the housemaid
gets the dinner. which the housewife
should make lighter than usual. The
girls divide Sundays in the same man
ner. the house servant getting supper
when the cook is out.
On Friday the bedrooms and halls
must be attended to, and on Saturday
the bathroom receives due attention. On
this day the front doorknobs should
be polished, the Tenders. if there are
any, frightened. and ell of the beds
made up with clean linen. All of the
extra tasks are finished up on Saturday.
and in this way no one day sees a rush
from sunrise until dewey even or finds
the whole house in disorder at one time,
as some well meaning hOusekeepers
plan to do.
COMFORTS FOR SERVANTS.
A girl has a right to expect a COM
Portable bedroom, warm and light, and
have two beds in it if both domestics
occupy one room. Very often the SER
wants room is q storehouse for old fur
niture, and. as human beings are gov
erned greatly by eXternals, it is impos-
sible to improve ones finer feelings and
principles if one treats them as ami
mais Many housekeepers allow the
girls TO sit in the dining room in the
evening and see that they have papers
and magazines. This is not spelling
them, but makes a girl worth having
respect herself and her position, and
consequently her mistress.
Ii is customary to allow girls COM
pany one evening in the week. and ii is
wise not TO interfere with the girls sit

BRIDAL COSTUMES.
A trip about the shops gives convinc-
ing proof that the Easter brides of '9S
are going to dress for the altar exclu-
sively in satin of deep cream tint and
splendidly figured in brocaded clusters
of ostrich feathers. The brocading is
done in blue white and on the regular
Jersey cream. tone of the satin this
brings considerable effect of color into
the chosen bridal fabric. Another law
concerning the marriage toilet is that if
you cannot afford to trim your wedding
dress with lace, nave IL SpiendldlS plaln-
Another amendment recently added
to the constitution governing the cos
tuning of brides, etc, the great import
ance of trimming the hair with a lofty
garniture of ostrich plumes. All the
pre-Lenten brides had their heads
dressed almost precisely as for present
alton at the court of st. James. Enor-
nous feathers were used and the veil
of tulle or lace flowed back in a short
drapery on the train. Another novelty
in nuDtial attire is the brides chate-
laine and the new custom is for the
mother to fasten it at her daughters
waist the moment before she leaves her
home to drive TO the church. The chat
elaine is formed of a large gold or sill
yer pin, or q mount that hooks into the
dress belt, and from this, by narrow
white satin ribbons, hangs a thimble,

SERVICES EXPECTED.
A house girl in family of ordinary
means combines the duties of wait
ress and chambermaid, and her daily
tasks for every day of the week should
be plainly written out, pasted on a
piece of cardboard and hung up in her
room, to be read each day. While the
cook prepares breakfast, the house
maid sweeps the halls, stairs and door
steps, then comes into the dining room

Couldn't Dodge It.

Constable Hooligan was on night duty
and SO preoccupied with thoughts of a
wedding he was invited to next day that
he nearly trod on man stretched across
the footway.
ssArrah, he's spacheless, an If flock him
up it's at the ooort I'll be instead o. the
weddin!''
He bent down, and then muttered:
s'By the powers, tits dead he is-bad
luck to him!"
Hooligan saw visions of an inquest In
stead of the wedding, got the cadaver on
his shoulder, carried it a quarter of mile
and dropped it on Doyle's beat. But a
few minutes before rounds were changed,
Hooligan nearly tainted at kicking up
against the same old corpse in much the
same place. Doyle was going to that wed
ding too.-Comic Cuts.

Over and over again he had it half way

But he Yves determined to get rid of it,
md one morning he screwed his courage
20 the sticking point. With sternly set
face and trembling knees he stalked into
certain cigar store. The proprietor was
busy at one end OF the counter throwing
dice.s He was SO much engrossed that he
didn't even look around when the news
paper man entered
sGimme a good ten CENTER" said the
latter in constrained voice.
He usually smokes five centers.
The proprietor mechanically pushed a
box toward him, and looked back to the
dice. "Help yourself" he said. The
newspaper man picked up cigar with
considerable elaboration, the dice in the
meantime clicking merrily on the show
case. Slowly he pulled out the so cent
piece and, half concealing it with his hand,
pushed it forward.
s'Gimme a little change" he said in a
hard, dry voice.
The proprietor didn't look up.
"Oh, that's on the house!'' he said in a
careless tone. "Put your money back in
your pocket.
