Crusade Against 7 piping.

According to an almost Incredible
report. the walters Of Paris are organ
izing fer q general crusade against
the tip system, and the substitution
for it of wages paid in the regular
way. The walters say, or at least are
said to say, that they are tired of be-
ing beggars, of getting aims instead
of pay, and that they aspire to rise to
the plane of respected and self-re-
specting workingmen. This is q most
laudable ambition, and though an
equally natural one, its expression has
been so long delayed that suspicion
Of its sincerity is inevitable. Had
the movement started here, where the
willingness to accept tips is form Of
moral degradation Of comparatively
recent appearance, the impulse to
doubt could have been easily restrain
ed. But in Paris the case is different.
There the service vice is the growth
of centuries. and 4 direct product Of
conditions that never existed here.
and its continued existence is not re-
markable. Can it really be that men
calling themselves Americans, and at
any rate living in America, will al
low Continental servants TO teach
them the very first lesson Of decent
self-respect?

How to-Clean Brass.

Fine Calias sand mixed with little
oil of tartar in a strong solution OF
soda; the articles to be well secured
with this mixture, then dried and pol
ished with leather dipped in whiting.
For brass, it depends a good deal on
whether it is lacquered or not. In the
former case the best thing is to put
them into a boiling solution Of soap
and soda, and leave them in 1t for a
few minutes, then scrub them we'll
with soft brush and good soap, when
the water is just cool enough to put
your hands in; now throw the brass,
all soapy as it is, into fresh cold water,
rinse well, dry and leather we'll. If
any strong chemical or cleansing paste
is applied it will inevitably affect the
lacquer. For ordinary brass. if very
dirty, oxalic acid is recommended, but
this not substance for inexperienced
hands; so If the brass is SO dirty as not
to yield to the same trsatment as is
recommended for the lacquered brass,
or to any good brass polishing paste,
have it properly cleaned by compe'
tent workman and thenceforward keep
it clean. This is not at all difficult. II
dirt and stains are not left to harden
on and eat into the metal.

The Rape For Polka Dots.

If you would be in the vanguard
you must cover yourself with spots
all sizes and all colors are permissible,
so long as the spots are round and OF
contrasting color to the background
over which they are strewn. Silk,
wool and cotton dress materials, rib
bons, parasol covers, hosiery, sashes,
waistcoats and even lingerie, are all
scattered with polka dots in every
size, from tiny spots no larger than
the head of a pin to great splashes as
large as a silver quarter. Tailor gowns
are finished with detachable collars
and revers Of pique polka dotted with
dots as large as pea, or with dotted
waistcoats. Dotted muslin, lingerie,
fleecy and cool-looking as newly fallen
snow nuffs about trim ankles covered
with polka dots. Wells faxed with
dots Of all sizes strain the eyes, but
are as coquettishly becoming as old
time beauty spots, and entire gowns
Of dotted foulard, MULE or cloth prove
wonderfully smart on young and old
Minneapolis Times.

DUTIES OF A cHAPERoN.
She Must Dress Well. Play Golf and Keep
Level Head.


These are the days when the wom-
an who takes up the thankless task
Of chaperonage is obliged in vulgar
but expressive language to hustle, and
all the thanks she gets she earns. IN
tae good old times when the summer
girls chief mission in life was to pose
ON the beach under an umbrella built
fol- two and show clean pair OF Louis
Ouinz heels In the casino ballroom,
any dear old drowsy grandmamma OF
near-sighted auntie who tatted and
watched for lurking draughts served
admirably we'll as O. chaperon. She
snuggled into corners, never spoke un-
less spoken to, and yet she kept her
charges in good order and was an
honor to her profession.
Grandmamma and auntie really
wouldn't last one day at the work that
in these present summer seasons falls
to the lot of chaperon whose con-
science is in the right place. An all
around, capable duenna has no sine
cure when she undertakes to police
and protect the summer girl. In the
first place, she must dress uncommon
ly we'll, she must know how to make
tea, to play golf, to be friendly to
dogs, understand horse talk, keep a
level head, pink cheeks and good ap-
petite, no matter how big and green
the waves look She must be perfectly
willing to walk miles on golf links,
whisk uncomplainingly to the box seat
of a coach, eat welsh rarebit at mid
night without a protest, keep the extra
young men Of her protege amused
while n particularly favored admirer
is being put through his Irritation
PAGES and pedal the automatic piano
playing machine when necessary.
OF course, it stands to reason that
chaperon who fills to perfection all
these requirements is something Of
rare bird, vet she remains the summer
girls ideal, while, as matter of fact,
chaperonage in this present year Of
grace threatens to be practiced by
specialists only. There is, for instance,
the golf matron, who knows how to sit
on shady clubhouse balcony, brew
tea and mind a dog and a young man
at the same dime that she effectually
keeps her eyes on her charge by means
Of a powerful field glass. Then there
is the yachting duenna and the coach
ing and automobile chaperon, every
one quite perfect in her own way, and
at a coast resort these seasons one
chaperon added to her laurels and pos
sibly to the onerous duties of her Sis
ter professionals by plunging in and
rescuing from the greedy waves the
pretty girl who was under her care

Thimble Parties.

The proper thing for the engaged
girl to do nowadays is to give thin
BILE party-or for one Of her girl
friends to give it for her. The pur-
pose of this new-fashioned sewing
bee' is to hem the towels and china
cloths and busters, dishcloths, holders,
glass towels, etc, used in the pro-
spactive housekeeping. If one has
confidence in the skill Of her friends
she may entrust to them the napkins
and tablecloths, which must be
hemmed by hand. But this is work
that must be neatly executed in order
to be satisfactory.
Guests at a thimble party Of this
kind often add their initial or the date,
or outline a motto or suggestion
upon the article on which they are
at work. and thus it serves to remind
the owner of the worker and a pleas
ant day.
Refreshments for such gathering
should be simple. but dainty. 1t is an
informal occasion, hence an elaborate
menu is uncalled for, out Of place, in
fact.-Detroit Free Press.

Linen Collars Still Popular.


Narrow turned-town linen collars are
worn more than ever, if possible, and
the beauty Of embroidery and work
manship in these small accessories 10
the toilet IS quite remarkable. The
sheerest and smartest materials arc
used with the best Of hand embroidery,
and in a wide variety Of design. The
newest have an edge finished in hand
embroidery, then cut out, leaving IN
open scallop. AS yet cuffs to match
are not Worn to any extent, but among
the novelties shown at the leading cs-
Establishments in Paris, where the hand
made lingerie IS the pride. the old
fashioned embroidered under-sleeves
are copied, and in such numbers as
to indicate that the fashion in another
six or twelve months will be universal.
Some clever women find that these
collars can be made out Of fine en-
broidered linen hapdkerchiefS that
have the scalloped edges, or are fin
lshed with fine hem-stitching and some
embroidery in the corner. NO econ
omy is secured in making The collars
out of these handherChicfs, for they
are always expensive; but as fashion
insists row upon the daintiest pocket
handkerchiefs and collars possible,
money does not enter into the ques-
ton. These collars are worn not only
on shirt waists or quite plain gowns,
but with silk and satin dresses, and
are considered correct for any wear.

stocktnrs to Match the Gown.

Colored stockings are much more
fashionable than they were, and very
vivid colorings are to be seen on some
of the new ones displayed in the shops.
They are to be had in the light cot
ton, the Isle thread and the silk, and
there is very little difference in the
design in the different qualities.
The silk is rather quieter, if such a
term can be used, and are effective
merely in the designs that are used.
An openwork pattern is sometimes
made with medallions set in or with
stripes of lace insertion and with tiny
dots of embroidery as we'll There
are also silk stockings with transpar-
ent ribbings and embroidered clocks
in bright colors.
1t is a fad to wear stockings the
color Of the dress, provided one has
small feet, but the pretttiest Of all
the stockings are the ones worn with
the dark blue gowns; those of silk or
the openwork designs and not the
most elaborate designs. Then there
are gray and beige, the new color that
is so fashionable, and the stockings
exactly match the gowns with which
they are worn.

PIctnrea in the NurEery.

AS is well known discrimination IN
applying knowledge is as important as
the knowledge itself. In a nursery
seen recently, the walls were covered
with one of the papers specially de-
signed for nurseries, showing in con-
slant repetition many of the characters
famed in children's stories. The paper
was a study for the children, and,
having been provided, it should have
been left to be studied. Instead, the
walls were we'll covered with pictures,
good, bad and Indifferent, an environ
ment which must have been extreme
ly distracting to the children who
passed most Of their time in the room.
Either a few good pictures against an
almost plain background, or the riot
of fairytale happenings alone put upon
the walls for the occupation and inter
est of the children, would have been q
much better arrangement.

doesn't rain every day, therefore il
cannot be necessary that they should
be deluged every twenty-four hours.
TO keep the plants wet all the time
makes them grow quickly but poorly.
They may spindle up, but the growth
is not luxuriant On the other hand
the soil should never be allowed to be-
come so dry as to injure the roots. Do
not water the plants teO' frequently,
but give them plenty Of water at inter-
walls. Pour over them enough so that
the soil becomes soaked and the water
oozes out from the aperture in the bot
tom Of the pot. Then do not water
them again until the soil looks dry.

One of the Latest Fads.

Among the latest fads is the collect
ing of crystal balls. Miss Helen
Gould is student of crystals and has
a very beautiful one. 1t is unusually
large and free from blemishes. Miss
Gould has it in the centre Of a much
darkened room which is lighted from
the top. Many fine bits of crystal
have been found in California and
made by machinery into beautiful
spheres. The work is so skilfuily done
that it battles the experts to tell them
from those nodded and polished by
hand. a large exhibit Of these Ameri-
can productions was sent to the Paris
Exposition. Naturally, these crystals
are not nearly as expensive as the
,arisptah examples. WHICH hsi1e'ai'''
lous prices. At sale recently held,
in London, an American woman out
bid the Prince Of Wales and paid $4,000
for rather a small crystal, but one
that was quite perfect. 1t had been
one of the eyes in a celebrated Chi
nese dragon, a curious monster whose
figure once typefed sin in a temple.
The other eye Of the beast was bought
at a similarly high price by Russian
merchant.

Cleaning the OH Lamp.

Every good housekeeper who enjoys
the light from a good oil lamp should
keep always on hand little brush to
clean the holes in the burners, the
lungs Of the lamp. The lamp should
be taken apart every day. That is, it
should be opened to allow the gas to
escape, and then carefully filed. There
is no danger of an explosion If this is
done. The reservoirs should be washed
out once a week to insure clear flame.
When the lamp IS put OFT the WICK
should be turned doR1s and the
fame blown outf~TAe chimney.
If the wick is tT - below the
tube when theY - llghted the
wick will noH edge and
there viii ssft is never
asseEsssary to do anything more than
to rub the wicks to taN the black
crust that forms at theN op. If the
wicks become gummy they can be
soaked in vinegar and thoroughly
washed and dried. Chimneys may be
tempered by putting in cold water and
allowed to come to boil. In lamps
where the reservoir is glass a little
coarse rock salt makes the oil give q
clearer light, but it must not be used
when there is anything that will rust.
