Arrowroot tied in thick cotton rag
and boiled with linens and cottons inn
parts an odor to them that is pleasing.
English pottery with Dutch notices
seems an anomaly and rather incon-

birds and beasts appeal to the eye.
Silk and linen are woven together to
make the handsomest table damask.
Sometimes the goods is brought out
in mauve, gold and white and an es-
pecially pretty pattern was all in soft

A shelf supported by. brackets and

the shelf may be embellished by large
brass or copper pot or few pieces of

To avoid wrinkling bodices and jack
cts they should be hung on frames such
frames first with cloth or silk, upon
which, if desired, orris or other sachet
powder may be sprinkled.

HOPE FOR THE KITCHEN LIES

TAIN GIRL.

Chicago, Jan. "A solution of the
servant girl problem was among the ear
ly thoughts which philanthropist ID. K.
Pearsons launched upon the Twentieth
century today. With an eye to bust
ness he determined that the shortage in
the commodity so essential to the kItch
en- must be met and overcome.
DR.. Parsons hope for the future kitch-
ems of the Western woodland IN the
Western world only. is he interested lies
in the mountains of Kentucky.
The white women of these mountains
declares DR.. Pearsons, must of necessity
become the source of supply for the ser
want girl market, and he is considering
the ACCESSIBILITY of establishing new
department tor Berea College, the func-
ton OF which shall be to teach the
mountain girls to cook, make beds in
which civilized people are wont to sleep,
and in short to do all that has to be done
in the keeping of household.
DIR. Pearsons' thoughts were turned
toward the servant girl problem in its
connection with the mountains of Ken
lucky by reason of the fact that be has
one Of the same mountains product in
his own household, She is the daugh-
ter of minister, who is burdened with
