Has Her Money Laundered.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
1.-The demand for new bills for shopping
is on the increase among women" said a
local bank teller, land is getting to be a
nuisance. - A great many women won't
handle any currency that is not absolutely
fresh and crisp. and in the north all the
banks that make speciality of catering
to women's custom keep a supply constant
ly on hand for that particular purpose.
Sometimes the bills are hard to get es-
pecially those of certain denominations,
and gold is unpopular on account of the
danger of confusing the $3.50 coin with a
bright penny.
1T is not generally known, but bills can
be washed and ironed easily as a pocket
handkerchief. A wealthy woman of my
acquaintance has all her money laundered
before she uses ii. She turns the notes
over to her maid, who washes them thor
oughly in hot water with ordinary soap
suds and spreads them out on a table to
dry. Then she dampens them slightly and
presses them with medium hot smoothing
iron. If the bill is not frayed this process
will make it as bright and crisp as when
it first left the treasury. 1t is astonishing
how dirty money gets. If one could see
the water in which dozen commonly cir
culated bills were washed il would give
them a permanent aversion to the trade
of teller"

Caring for Ferns.
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
A good many ferns that live in rooms
during the winter come to grief because
they are kept warmer than is good for
them. The atmosphere is dry and arid
and quite opposite to the natural condi-
tions under which most ferns live A very
little thought would show US how different
are the conditions We are providing. Ferns
greatly enjoy the slight relief afforded by
an hour or two in a moister atmosphere
than We aim at in our living rooms. and
will be improved and freshened by such a
change.
Many ferns that are cultivated in the or
binary greenhouse will grow well In rooms
II they get a good share of light and are
not too parched- They cannot be grown in
a room i'll which there is a fire daily all
through winter and spring. Ferns are also
much spoiled by overwatering at the roots.
Although We find them, both at home and
abroad, in fairly moist positions, their roots
are almost always upon a bank and be-
meath trees or hedges that would throw off
showers and absorb the greater part of the
sodden soil. Nor is it well to have them
i'll peaty soil alone.
II We cannot sponge over the fronds of
our feathery growing ferns, we can give
them an occasional wash with the syringe
and tepld water Once allow them to get
dusty and dry. their pores choked and kent
in an arid atmosphere for a long time they
will soon show a thin and unhealthy condi-
ton.

THE CZAR AT HOME.
The Russian Court the Most Magnif-
cent In the World.

From the English Illustrated Magazine
The Russian court, military and minis
terial dress is costly and rich in the ex-
treme, and this richness is carried out
even to the liveries of the servants, their
scarlet coats being literally ablaze with
gold. 1t is a fact that no court in the
world presents such picturesque and mag
nificent appearance as does that of Russia.
At any function, therefore. the show is bril-
liant, but more especially, perhaps at
ball. when the rich evening toilets Of the
ladies, enhanced by jewels of priceless
worth, add much TO the already brilliant
effect. The Russian dances are of very
stately description, and both the emperor
and empress take part in them very thor
oughy. The aspect of the armorial hail,
where the supper is often laid is grand be
yond all description. This meal is not par
taken of standing, at the majority of
courts, but the guests sit down at the long
rows of tables. procession is formed.
which is headed by his imperial maj
esty and the most distinguished lady pres
ent, and the room is then entered in the
order of precedence. OF course, an inn
mense quantity of plate is displayed. This
and the china that is also used are noted
throughout Europe for their richness and
beauty. There is one service alone, capable
of dining 500 persons, that is composed en-
tirely of the pureSt silver oVerlaid with
gold. Added to all this, the use of va
riety of the choicest fruits and the rarest
ly, makes the scene one of the most gorg-
eous magnifcence. During the evening
state progress through the suite of rooms is
made by the imperial personages and the
chief officers of the household the guests
forming up into long avenue on either
side. One special feature is that two or
three of the largest halls in the palace are
on the occasion of the ball fitted up as
a huge conservatory: palms. exotics ferns,
banks of flowers and even fruit trees being
transplanted thither with the most marvel
Gus effect.
Electric light is carried throughout
and glows down from myrads of globes of
a variety of coors. In this Veritabe fairy
land hundreds of seats are placed for the
convenience of the guests between the
dances. 1t would be utterly impossible to
mention the rare works of art to be seen
in this palace, comprising paintings, stat
uary collections of jewels. antiquities and
oulios of every description. Everything is
of oriental magnificence, and to see ii all
the eye must weary of the continuous
dazzle

embroidered with sprays of black lace in
flower designs, set amid froth or lace
ruffles. From the knees to the waist the
skirt was covered with close-set bands of
black velvet ribbon, counterfeiting a tunic
high on the sides, but forming a deep
point in front and behind. The bodice was
embroidered with lace sprays, the elbow
sleeves We're velvet banded.
A rich dinner dress of Burgundy red mir
ror velvet had the bodice cut in one with
a tunc which barely covered the hips in
the back but in front fell to the ground in
a narrow, square-cornered panel. Bodice
and tunic were embroidered with old point
lace. The underskirt was plain.
The Tunic.
Overskirts and draperies are meant, but
''tunique" is the Partisan name.
The tunic at present limits itself, as a
rule, to the back of the dress the front,
but it aims to occupy both positions. At
the moment the eelskin skirt is tighter
than ever, but the evening dresses pre-
pared for the charity ball and other fes-
tivites hint that the popular figure of two
eggs. one atop of the other, with base
of fluff and furbelows, may before long be
modified.
A dress of black Chantiliy over rose
color has draperies that start from the
hips and hang with some freedom. A lace
skirt made over white tulle spotted with
gold shows a similar arrangement.
Net skirts appear to be liked above most
others, and a dancing frock of black and
