NOT A FLAT FAILURE.
This Woman Subjects Her Apnrt-
ments in Summer

The woman has been found who can
rent her fiat all summer for money
enough to pay family expenses in the
country. She lives in New York. and tells
the tale for herself through the columns
of a New York journal:
1T helps US out great deal. couldn't
afford TO send the children to coed schools
in winter and take them out of town for
the summer il didn't rent my apartment
out as it is the rent paid by my summer
tenants not only pays the rent of the
apartment but leaves quite little sum
over. which We find no difficulty whatever
in finding use for. II is simple matter
to let a fiat in New York for the summer,
but to get desirable tenants and a good
price for ii is another matter. The first
year we let our apartment We left every
thing Just as it was in winter. pictures,
rugs, draperies. etc. The family who took
Ii for the summer were reasonably careful
and it was not their fault that l did not
cover my pictures or pack away my lace
curtains. and when l came home and took
possession of my somewhat battered be-
longings | could only blame myself.
The next year l was wiser ] put away
my best things and l spent some money
making summary furnishings. Incident
ally made the fiat look so pretty and in
viting that i got $50 month for it-S30
more than the rent, which paid the tent
OF the little house down on Long Island
which We took for the summer. The
money invested in 'fxings' was very we'll
spent. l have not had to renew any of
them since and every summer they are
brought forth and serve their purpose
nobly. To begin with, ] took down all

jute rugs in pretty colors for the bed
rooms and sitting rooms. In place of the
lace window draperies put up crisp white
muslin curtains and green shades. Every
upholstered piece of furniture / covered
with cretonne, and cretonne took the place
of the heavy draperies in the doors where
draperies were necessary. All this made
the place look alluringly cool, fresh and
inviting. and ii was rented almost as soon
as seen. II saved my furniture. draperies,
and rugs, too, and the jUte rugs after
winters storage came out the following
summer looking as fresh and fair as ever.
They have bad reputation for wear, but
find that with three months usage and
nine months rest they keep their beauty
brayely. In the autumn l put my carpets

is a little trouble to get II in order every
spring and autumn. But one has to house

keeper in the Cleveland Plain Dealer"

II would be different. My table would look

oak or black walnut will do perfectly well,
II you rub of the scratches and stains
which deface it, Give 1t coat of brown
sheilac and have your maid rub It well

turpentine once a week. polishing it off

and never touching it with water. II you
do this you will soon have table to be
proud OF, even II It is not mahogany.
The best centrepiece for everyday use
is hemstitched damask square. This
will last fresh for week. while more
elaborate designs may be substituted for
special occasions. There should always
be an arrangement of flowers in the centre

In England there are several wedding
! customs peculiar to localities. At Stoke
Cory. for example, a chain OF flowers is
drawn across the street and the bridal par
ty are not allowed to pass on their way
! home until the bridegroom has satisfied
the demands OF the holders for money
wherewith to drink the health of the hap
Ply couple. When the ropes OF flowers are
held at several places the toll mounts up
to considerable sum.
Silver sand is spread on the pavement
in front Of the brides house after she has
set out for the church. The sand is ar
ranged in the form OF wreaths of flowers
naif moons. and notices, and good wishes
for the BRIDES happiness. Other houses in
the street are also similarly adorned, and
numerous flowers of sand and hearty good
wishes greet the bride on her return to her
home. The origin of this Is thus explain-
ed. King Canute, after fording a brook,
sat down to shake the sand out OF his
shoes. While he was doing this bridal
party passed by, and he shook the sand
in front Of them. wishing them Joy and AZ
many children as there were grains Of
sand.
Mrs. Gaskell wrote that when she was
married all the houses in the town were
sanded and these were the two favorits
verses inscribed on the sand:
Long may they live,
Happy may they be,
Blest with content,
And from misfortune free.
Unpopular brides have chopped straw
scattered In front Of their houses.
In Yorkshire. the home OF SO many old
customs which still linger, after wedding
Is over. races are run in a field near the
church. the prize being ribbon presented
by the bride. This ribbon is a substitute
for the brides garter. which used to be
taken on as she knelt at the altar and
offered as prize for the fieetest runner.
Shooting the bride" is an Irish custom.
Inc bridal party are saluted with shots
fronAnuskets and pistols in every village
through which they pass. This is supposed
to drive away eveil spirits.
Another custom is to pour hot water on
the doofsteDs after a wedding in order
that other marriages may flow. The idea
seems to be to keep the threshold warm
for another BRIDE and not to suggest any
unpleasant prophecies with regard to the
future OF the newly welded pair.
On Taking Day" young men and maid
ems assembled in park the Sunday pregi-
Gus 70 the county fair and selected their
partners for that day. Many marriages are
said to follow. lover is often required

Friday evening is not considered cor
rect time for courtship. The first person
spying a couple so engaged enters the
house, seizes frying pan, and beats on 1t

give warm reception to the offending
nile.
When lover is faithless the maiden
bricks the wedding finger. and with the
blood writes upon paper her own name and
hat of tie swain, underneath three rings
are formed still with the blood. Dig a

Queen Victoria holds the title of Duke
Of Lancaster. Most people imagine that
her title Of Duke of Lancaster merges In
her superior title of Queen. but that is not
so, as she would remain Duke of Lancas-
ter even X she ceased to be Queen.
The Duchy OF Lancaster was created in
the rein OF Edward III. and since 1851 the
revenues Of the duchy have been held
separately and form no part of the heredi-
tary revenues in view of which the civil
list was granted.-Stray Stories.

The curious freaks the mauser bullet
has performed in its coursings through
the systems of fighting Americans in
the late wars have resulted in some
queer tales. The latest is the expert
enec of Private II. E. Redmond, COM
pany C, First Colorado volunteer in
fantry, who, when he enlisted, suffered
so badly that the recruiting officer came
near leaving him off the rolls. Private
Redmond was wounded in the battle of
Mariquina on March 81. Now, his
wound is healed and he shutters no
more. A mauser bullet struck him in
the face, passed diagonally downward
through his mouth, and made it's exit
near the back of the neck. 1t was con-
sidered a frightful wound by the sur
geons, but Redmond proceeded to re-
cover even faster than patients with
less painf'1l injuries. Now, all that can
be seen of the wound is a small, livitl
spot to the left of the nose and above
the upper lip. Redmond chews hard
tack with the greatest zest and tells
stories he has not been able to finish
in years on account Of his halting
speech. He insists that the mauser bul-
let carried away his vocal impeachment
