A blonde may wear pure white with
advantage, but the brunette nearly al

Brown eyes and brown dress go
well together.
Blue-eyed girls should wear blue as
often as possible.
The tan shades are not often suitable
for slim figures
Dull black is the best choice for a

must order something brilliantly black
if she really wishes to look her best.

Dark blue and white were the colors
of the bingham, the rufties edging it

of white swiss and the under and wider

Bingham was a crossbar of the blue on

which was embroidered with a cross

To Keep PickleS.

Pickles should be kept in unglazed
earthen jars, or wooden kegs. Sweet
meats keep best in glass jars; unglazed
stone pots answer very well for common
fruits. A paper wet in brandy, or PROOF
spirits, and laid on the preserved fruit,
tends to keep it from fermenting. Both
pickles and sweetmeats should be
watched to see that they do not ferment.

Whenever they ferment, turn off the vim

while hot When pickles grow soft it is
owing to the vinegar being too weak.
To strengthen it, heat it scalding hot,
lukewarm, put in a little alum and a
brown paper, wet in molasses. If it does
not grow sharp in the course of three
weeks it is past recovery, and should be
thrown away, and fresh vinegar turned
on, scalding hot, to the pickles.

Where the Fans Game From,

A social worker who has had occasion
to inspect most of the so-called sweat
shops IN New York gave it as mis- belief
that the persons who invented the cleo
trical fans got his idea from the funny
little tailors and their sewing machines
1t has been an old practice with these
workmen in warm weather, said the
agent, to use the power in their machines
to fan themselves. This they accomplish
by tying pieces of stiff cardboard to the
spokes of the fly or balance wheel, and,
as they work the pedal with the feet, the
cardboard on the wheel cuts the air like
a small pinwheel and plays the air upon
the face of the tailor.
