velvet Ribbon will Wash.

Some girls who make their own gowns
have discovered that black velvet ribbon
will wash. They use--as eyeryoneaelse
doess-a quantity of the narrow @sfCk
velvet satin-laced ribbon on their light
frocks. They manage usually to keep
these the first season without washing
but the second. the tub is inevitable
says the New York Times.
The way they made the discovery was
in having Il gown which had Il great
deal of this velvet trimming. That
meant Il great many stitches. To think
of taking it off was disheartening. and
with the valor of the general making a
sortic upon an enemy of overpowering
numbers the gown was put into the tub,
black velvet and all.
1t came ont better than anyone would
have dreamed possible. There were no
traces of the black having run into the
fr0ck. and the velvet itself looked as
good as new after ironing. except that it
had rather more the appearance of satin
than velvet ribbon But that was an
unimportant matter in second-spason
frock.

by the male representatives of English

Tales from Monkeys Paradise.


When | was travelling in northern In
dia, said gentleman who had recent
ly completed a Journey around the
world, II was constantly impressed with
the almost human ways of the monkeys
there. You see, they are never molested,
which is also true Of the birds, and they
are as tame and impudent as spoiled
children.
Il remember that one morning while
We were sitting a breakfast on the We
randa of our hotel suddenly we heard the
nOlslest chattering, and down the main
street of the town came a crowd of long
tailed monkeys, running a race evidently.
They shrieked and chartered at every
leap, trlpped each other up. pulled each
Others tails and seemed to be having Il
generally hilarious time. While we left
the table to watch their antics some In
dian crows that had been soiemnly lined
up on the veranda rail watching us eat
made dash for the food, and had quite
a fight win the native servant before
they were finally driven away.
But the monkeys of India are sure
ly the most ifrespons BILE people in the
world, continued the traveller. Il can
call them people because they are such
ludicrous counterfeits of human beings.
In many Of the old temples there are
monkey settlements. | remember one in
particular which was sacred to the sim
ianS. There seemed to be thousands of
the creatures, and | was told that 5000
had recently been taken to the woods to
