The March number Of the d elineater,
which is called the spring announce
ment number, maintains the peculiarly
comprehensive of its descriptions and
suggestions in every feature of personal
attire, and the characteristic merits OF
its departmental and literary features.
The third paper in the series ON social
life in England is by Lady Currie, who
Analyses in a pleasant way the condi-
tiOns and influences of country house
life. Indoor interests, in which Emma
Ohurchman Hewitt continues her dis
cussion of domestic subjects, treats upon
the vital question of fostering in boys
and girls love of home. Give Ray
ner's final adventure by Martin Orde,
establishes the hero in the enjoyment
of complete happiness. In the audubon
societies and their work, Frank M.
Chapman, assistant curator of the
American museum Of natural history,
gives an interesting account of the
aims and work of the societies DIR.
Grace Peckham Murray contributes an
other excellent paper on the common
ills of life.

New in pincushiOns.

The pincushion has taken anew turn.
Thoughtful women have never been
able to reason out why every one of
their sex insists that she cau't get on
without pincushion, because not one
woman out of thousand ever uses one.
Pins are put anywhere except into the
pincushion. All the same, every wo-
man must own a pincushion, and if she
desires a really swell one, it must be at
least one yard long, six inches high and
not quite so wide as it is high. The
new cushion, before it is dressed up in
net laces and ribbons, reminds one more
of a long loaf Of French bread than
anything else, but'once set off with the
proper frills and furbelows, it looks
beautiful On a dressing table-far too
pretty to stick pins into.

Hints for the Housewife.

To remove black grease stains from
clothing wash with soap and cold wa
ter. bot water would only set the
marks.
Discolored snameled saucepans can
often be made to look like new by boil
ing little chloride OF lime in the water
with which they are filled.
Admit plenty Of air to yeur storerOom
on clear dry day, for air is necessary
to all sweet preserves. Those kept in
an air-tight room or cupboard are apt
to ferment.
To test the purity of coffee pour cold
water on it, If the water assumes a
brownish hue it may be concluded that
there is chico1y with it.
To clean an enameled bathtub take
one heaped tablespoonful of kitchen
salt, molsten it with turpentine, and
with it scour the bathtub. Then rub
with clean cloth. Before beginning
operations take care that the bathtub is
perfectly dry.
In cleaning furs rub ermine and
minerva with a white, soft piece of
flannel dipped in -four. Rub against
the grain, and continue rubbing until
the fur is cleaned. Shake out and then
rub off the remaing -four with clean
flannel. Sable, squirrel, etc. are clean
ed by rubbing with warm bran, then
shake, and brush till the fur if free OF
the bran. 1t is best to lay articles tc
be cleaned ON a fat board or table and
to remove stuffings and Innings if pos
sible.

A great conflict is raging in the per-
iodical press under the caption of 'The
Underwear Problem" How much to
wear and when to change are the ques-
tions sanitary science is asking, and the
answers are almost as diverse as the in
divisuality of those who answer. For
example, well-known magazine leans
to the view that none at all would be
better than the thickness most people
wear, citing the old story of the Indian
at the Quebec ice carnival to prove
that custom is much, if not everything.
The story is good one, though not
new. The Indian was parading on the
ice with bare feet and much of his body
and limbs exposed to zero tempera-
ture, when the Marquis Of Lorne, then
governor general of Canada, asked him
how he could stand it without freezing
The Indian answered, American-like,
by asking another question, namely,
"Why does paleface not freeze face?"
The marquis said it was because he was
accustomed to the exposure Of his
physiognomy, and the red man grunted
"Indian all face. 3"

Model Dish Towels,

A servant is much more likely to be
fastidious in her washing and
careful with dish towels if she is pro-
vided with proper ones in the begin
ming. The ideal cloth for washing
dishes is made by taking square of
cheese cloth, doubling it twice (making
four thicknesses) and quilting it in
large meshes on the sewing machine.
This makes a towel soft, thick, agree
able to handle and easily kept white.

OF the late Barren Harden Hickey,
self-made king Of Trinidad" who
killed himself few days ago, his ac-
qusintance Edgar Saltus writes thus in
Golfers Weekly: ga dozen years age
he had the formidable reputation of be-
ing one of the wittiest men in Paris and
the crack duelist of France. He had
more enemies than he knew by sight.
A stranger to them, he was a stranger
to his friends, stranger to himself, yet
most conspicuously stranger to his
epoch. He had belief in an age which
had dissipated them, and faith in q
land from which they have gone. He
looked like a musketser, acted like a
debuntante, talked like Aristophanes,
and lived like O sage"
