room, is so great that it pays IN tami-
lies where there is large quantity Of
sewing to be done to heat a room spe-
cially for the purpose. In many fami-
lies the sewing is looked upon as an in
cidental work, not as an essential part
of the household duties. In only few
homes is there room set apart for
sewing, though the duty of preparing
the clothing of the household ought to
be second only to the duty of preparing
the food.
1t is true that a large amount OF the
clothing of the masculine portion OF the
household is now purchased ready
made" This only relieves the house
hold partially from sewing. Ready
made clothing for women and children
is more expensive and not as durable
as that made at home. This includes
the greater part of the clothing, and
sewing should, therefore, be recognized
as certainly a part Of house work as
cooking. In order to do the sewing OF
the household in the best manner there
should be a room set apart where the
sewing machine, the cutting table and
all the tools of superior work as kept.
In a bureau in this room new material
to make up and old materials to make
over should be left. In one drawer or
in bag there should be patches and
scraps of various materials left from
gowns and other garments.
"A stand, with drawers, containing
spools of silk and of cotton should be
placed somewhere in the room, and
there should be a large work basket
containing the various necessities of the
seamstress. A wire skirt form on
which skirts can be hung, is a great
convenience, though the waist forms
have proved of no special value. The
systematic arrangement Of the work in
such a room is in itself an incentive to
accomplishment. It is not too much
to say that a woman with an orderly
sewing room will do twice as much
work as ones whose tools are scattered
over the area of three or four Closets
Exchange.

The Convinient Sewing Room.

In a house that is heated throughout
it is easy enough to set aside a sewing
room, where all the materials and i'm
plements for work can be kept together
in systematis manner. No neat house
keeper likes to have her sitting room
occupied with the threads and litter
cutting and sewing.
In the making over of garments there
is always a certain amount Of dust in
evitable, and it is desirable that this
dust of ripping should be kept in one
place. There is seldom room for the
sewing materials and the work in the
dining room, and it is not desirable to
invade any bed room with it. Bed
rooms should be left unoccupied during
the daytime as much as possible.
They should not be used as sitting
rooms or sewing rooms, or for any
purpose in the daytime, where it is pos
sible to avoid doing SO.
The average country residence is
blessed with plenty of space and pure
air, and the housewife ought to take
full advantage of these blessings. No
every one does, and there are many
houses where the air of the sleeping
rooms is contaminated by constant oc
cupation in the daytime. The only ex
cuse in the country for crowding the
family into a limited space is lack Of
facilities for heating all the rooms in
the house.
The convenience of a separate sewing

a damp cloth. This paste is unequaled
for cleansing coat collars.
Velvet collars and trimming respond
quickly to steam, which raises the nap
to look like new. Crushed bows had
best be removed, ripped and presedb y
see-sawing them under hot iron, then
reknotted. Dampen them warily, for
the colors are liable to run.

water? This is because it was not
thoroughly busted beforehand, or be-
cause the cleansing preparation was
left in the goods says an exchange.
This last is great mistake, as it leaves
the spot very susceptible to soilure.
The suds, ammonia, or whatever was
used should be removed as completely
as the greese, or the result will not be
satisfactory. Do this by rubbing the
place thoroughly with the cloth wrung
in clear water, rinsing it again if
needed.
The best way to dust garment is to
hang it upon the line and whip it with
a rattan rug beaten, not as vigorous
ly as if it was a tapestry carpet, but
with sharp, quick strokes, which will
not injure the shape or break the stitch
es. The bottom of the skirt catches the
dust and on account of the stiff lin
ing, retains it most tenaciously, but
the rattan will dislodge it and put it in
condition for sponging.
Many make the mistake of rubbing a
soi1ed spot in any direction, which
causes it to spread; rub only toward
| the center. When a skirt is sponged
for spots, turn it upon the wrong side
and with the cloth or sponge quite wet,
go over the lining lightly, making the
seams also the. portions interlined
| with stiffening, quite wet, and iron with
hot irons, keeping the seams flat and
| being careful not to iron any wrinkles
in the material of the gown. Finish
the pressing by ironing fold in the
middle of front gore, that trif1e that al
ways marks a new gown, it is pardon
able deception.
| The bodice or jacket, being more
complicated, needs different treatment
as the entire surface cannot be pressed
First, see that the Innings of waist and
choker do not need replacing. If very
soiled, it is better to rip them out and
put in fresh ones than to try to cleanse
them by sponging.
After busting and shining the spots,
hold all shiny places, also the creases
formed by the bend of the elbow, over
steaming tea kettle, which will effect
ually freshen them. Dampen the lin
ing and iron carefully, following the
boned seams with the sharp point of
the iron, under the bones; if ironed flat
upon the bones the impression would
show through the bodice aud spoil the
work. Iron sleeves upon the wrong
side where they are plain, then turn
and slip the small polishing iron into
the arm size and move it up and down
cautiously among the fullness to pre-
vent creases.
Fancily garnished sleeve tops cannot
be treated this way, but can be some
what freshened by steaming. Finish
the waist by pressing choker, wrists
and bottom very flat, pressing upon the
wrong side.
In freshening jackets and coats do
not put the iron directly upon the lin
ing, but use a thin cloth between, to
prevent the Objectionable 'shine" that
follows. It is also best to remove the
buttons while the fronts are being
pressed.

THE SMART YOUNG MAN.
He Played a Trick on His Girl, hut
She Got Even.

One day a smart young man got long
pcco of ribbon paper out of stock ticker
and wrote letter on it to his girl. As he
wrote he rolled the paper up so that tho
outside of the roll contained the closing
remarks of the letter, which were:
''Of course you will not repeat what /
have told you in this letter about Helen
Ii was given to me in strictest confidence,
and wouldn't think of telling any ono
except you" TO find out what this was
the girl was compelled to unwind the let
ter and wind it up again, starting ut tho
end But she could find nothing in it
about Helen. although she read it twice
very carefully and looked along the back
from one end to the other. And it was u
most bothersome letter to read.
She brooded over that letter several days
planning her revenge. At length she came
to a decision. She got large square piece
of cardboard and started her letter in the
very center of it, writing in all ever widen
ing circle. Her very first sentence was:
Dear Jack: If you pcrscverc in reading
this letter, you will find in it something
you greatly wish to know. II You do not
read it, you will never know it" There
was something he did wish to know and
only she could tell him, SO he buckled
down to 1t. At firSt he turned the paper
around slowly as he read and i'll IL few
minutes almost topplcd over with diZZi-
ness. He rested and tried it again, but
was compelled to stop, for his eyes burned
and his head ached After another rest
he placed it on the floor and STOPPING

The following night he tackled it again,
and in tho course of an hours work, as

came upon this sentence almost near tho
end: "This is what l wanted to tell you.

AN ARTISTIC MIX UP.
BewiIdcrirE Results That Followed
Il Phatogrulsher's Mistake.

A we'll known att.iche of the Hollenden
hotel has u maid servant in his household
whose complexion would make Ercbus
look like early twilight. Some time ago
this dusky maid determined she would
have her picture taken. She wanted a
number of copies to send to RastuS and
her other friends, ard she had n personal
| desire to see how her looks had improved

| Nothing would do but she must patron

attired in her Sunday 90 to campmeeting

when finished would be promptly mailed

In due course of time the package ar
rived, and the delighted girl hurried back
to the kitchen to open it.
A few moments later one of the other
members of the household heard n dull
thud, accompanied by wild cracking.
She hurried back to the kitchen, and there
was the maid sitting fiat on the floor, hay

A CRYING NEED.

All the boys and girls of the Islands
will be enjoying holiday by the end
of this week. The Independent schools
have been giving their closing exercises
during Nhe week and the public schools
close on Friday. 1t is a merry time for
a large number and the various Islands
are gladdened by the advent of children
who have been away to school, a nj who
return with their friends to enjoy coun-
try air and country life.
But the holidays are not a season of
delight at all, Not every child can go
to stay at a fine country home, and en-
joy the delights of a country life, get
ting health from the salty zephyrs, and
strength from riding and walking on
the breezy mountain sides. Our city
public schools contain far different
class in majority. There are children
who will never move from Honolulu,
whose parents are too poor to find the
10 cents necessary to go down to the
park, and who will hang about the
streets of the town, day in, day out,
hearing all the bad language seeing
all the sights of the slums. For these
the holidays are no delight, and for
their moral and mental well being it Is
a season of disntegration.
For children of this class River park
was meant. At this holiday season the
moral and elevating effect of "a public
playground of this kind would have
been invaluable. With worthy co work
ers, such as F. w. Damon would have
gathered around him, an immense work
might have been done. Those who have
succeeded in keeping the public play
ground from the people have the salts
faction of knowing that they have done
a wrong to the rising generation, and
that they have thwarted a movement
for the advancement of the young 1t
is no enviable position they have placed
themselves in. A commencement might
have been made this summer which
would have been of infinite value to
many boys and girls, who will probably
acquire bad habits instead.
