Young Housekeeper is troubled about
the best course 20 pursue when ser
wants leave her. They ask her for ref.
erences for now place. and she in
the kindness Of her heart has given
several that are by no means Jus, 10
the new employer She would like
some advice as TO how far she can con-
sctentiously go. Answer: II Ii no more
to ones credit TO deceive about one
thing than another. A woman who
Will give good character TO a dig
honest servant Is guilty OF a very serl-
GUS breach OF good faith. Housekeep-
ers must take maids on trust. and they
should be very strict in investigating
their previous record. All families
are so much at the mercy OF their helm
that something should be done for
their protection. Tell the exact truth
IL Is always safest.

Tea should never be brewed in a
copper kettle-that positively must so.
and an earthenware pot is an absolute
necessity. Earthenware which is not
glazed ON the inside is the best. The
kind of tea used is a matter of individ-
ual choice. but really good teas are ex-
pensive. The tea the Japanese use in
offering entertainment to their best
friends costs from S. to $40 pound.
Sugar and cream are merely not toll
erated-they are never used by people
who really respect tea. Sugar may be
allowable, but cream never. In fact,
If tea is properly made. no one will
want to spoil its delicious bouquet. The
best way to make tea. although IL is
troublesome. is to pour boiling water
into the teapot on the tea and let it
stand few minutes, and after the re-
quired strength has been acquired.
pour the tea through a strainer Into
another earthenware pot over a spirit
lamp which will keep the tea hot. This
does away with all fear of tannin,
which is derived from the tea leaves
sleeping in the water IL 1t IS left on
them.

No doubt a great deal OF the wrang-
ling and hairsplitting in congress IS
due TO the great prepoaderance OF law

the bar, the total Of both houses be-
ing: Lawyers. 305. all others. 1i2-
this looks like very small proportion
Of bread to an intolerable deal Of sack.
so TO speak 1t is an open question
whether lawyers are the best legisla-
tors, and it may be set down as GER
tain that the garrulousness character
istic of the gentlemen Of the long robe
does not expedite business Peter the
Greats opinion of the profession Is
shared by good many people even in
this age when lawyers appear TO have
the start OF everyone else.

and be covered with narrow horizontal
bands of ribbon, set on at intervals of
an inch. Some OF the prettiest gowns
have only the blouses covered In this
way and have around the bottom OF
the skirt few rows to match. An
elaborate dinner gown has a skirt OF
pale gray brocade. with bodice of plain
gray silk. Over the bodice is bloused
gray chiffon. and above that dainty
white lace falls. The decolletage is
encircled by queerly shaped revers of
vivid coral silk. and the same material
is used to finish the waist. Long
sleeves cover the arms and finish in
bullying volumes OF lace at the wrist

A report from Anderson. Indiana,
says: The eastern part of the county
has been overrun with rats during the
past six months. Thousands of them
have colonized over radius of six
or seven miles. The farmers have
been fighting them in every way pos
sible but they continue to multiply
and are taking everything In sight.
The stories of the numbers that go in
droves have been discredited by An
derson and Muncie people and, in or
der to prove their assertions, the
farmers took several out to one of
their '.rat drives" recently. One of
the records that was made was TWEEN
ty-four rats by Superintendent Heaggy
of the poor farm, who only discharged
his gun four times. Several other
records have been made at other times.
They are costing the farmers many
hundred dollars by underminging
wheat bins and burrowing into build
ings of all kinds. No theory has been
advanced which will satisfactorily ex-
plain where they came from, as this
section has been remarkably free from
rats in previous years.

Various schemes We're suggested and
discarded. AT length some shrewd Ad-
dicks mind, ia search of conditions
wholly objectionable and unacceptable
TO the Regular Republicans, hit upon
the idea of making a demand that the
Regular Republican legislative candi-
dates pledge themselves not only TO
so into caucus, but also to support the
caucus nominee for United States SEN
ator, pointing with pride to No. % cf
the Addicks party rules. 1t was a
bright idea and accepted forthwith.
What is the result? Every Regular
Republican candidate for Legislative
.honors is confronted by J. Edward ADJ
dicks. VINO holds a caucus pledge in
enc hand and a knife in the other The
uieimatum is: Sign the pledge, or take
the knife"
The public is watching Samuel M.
Knox and his colleagues and wondering
how they win conduct themselves now
that this dreadful alternative confronts
them. Addicks knows his men in
Kent and Sussex. He proposes to know
them in New Castle.
