The Care of Bed Linen.

Snowy Wilderness is desideratum In
sheets and pillow cases. Bed linen is
so often improperly Numbered that a
word or two on the subject will not
come amiss. Bed linens should be
washed separately from the other
laundry work and no starch should be
used If ironed while still quite damp
there will be sufficient stiffness given
10 the sheets to make them appear
well, and they will certainly prove far
more comfortable to the sleeper than
If starch were used. Do not fail to
have the bed linen thoroughly aired
and dried before it is put away in
piles in a close closet.
With fresh and dainty bed linen the
matter of making an attractive bed
becomes an easy task. 1t is remarka-
bic how few people know how to make
a bed in an attractive manner. Never
spread up a bed. Every morning
the covers should all be removed and
the clothing hung in such n way that
fresh current OF air can pass through
1t. The mattress should he turned so
that the air can also reach every part
or 1t. and before making the bed the
position Of the mattress should be
changed so that the wear shall not
fall upon the same part.
One OF the first requisites for well.
made bed is that the sheets should be
Of ample length. Allow plenty OF ma.
terial, so that the sheets may be well
tucked in at the sides and foot. There
should be at least three pairs OF sheets
provided for each bed. Three pairs OF
pillow cases. three bolster cases and
TWO white spreads for every day use
viii prevent uwkwardncss in case OF
sickness. Care should be taken TO keep
the bed in the guest room attractiyely
arranged.

No Portals For Great Britain.

Miss Margaret Hall, the young
Scotchwoman who applied to the
Court of Session of Edinburgh for
permission to become a solicitor. has
had her petition denied. Lord Adam,
Lord Kinnear and Lord Pearson were
unanimous with the other learned
judges called into consultation in say.
ing that they had no power to admit
the young woman to the law agents
examination. There must be a change
in the law, they declared, before 1t
would be legal for woman to prac-
tlce as solicitor in Scotland. Coun-
tries in which women are admitted TO
the bar include Russia, France and
America.

Hints For Hanging Pictures.

An old rule for hanging pictures was
that water-colors. Understandable
and oils should not be hung in the
same room, but this rule is rarely re-
garded now. 1t is. however, inartistlc
TO see them arranged in the same
group, and n little care will easily
avoid 1t. 1t has come to be pretty
well understood that pictures should
not be hung on level, though this rule
does not mean that there should be no
symmetry or plan in the grouping.
Too heavy pictures should not top
very light ones; Il natural sense of pro-
portion must be regarded With this
general idea in mind square. oblong
and oval pictures may be satisfactorily
arranged, always promising that the
pictures are worth hanging in any
event.

Sleeping Rooms For Children.

A physician gives the following hints
regarding proper sleeping rooms for
the children:
The sunniest and best room in the
house is not too good for the child
The apartment should be ventilated
during the night as well as the day
sick child should never occupy an
Inside room. Fresh air Is n prime ne
cesslty.
Gas stoves consume the air required
by the child, and are not advisable in
n sleeping room.
No sweeping should be done while
the children are in the room. If. how
ever, because of sickness. this is neces-
sary, dust the furniture and floor with
n moist cloth and use a carpet sweeper
instead of broom.

of Her Country Women.
Some interesting comments upon Gu
ban women were made by Miss Silvia
Alfonso of Havana, while on visit
TO New York City. Since the Amcri-
cans have entered Havana in such
numbers, she says Cuban girls have
notlceably begun to copy many OF the
ways of American women. They w.Te
formerly exceedingly quiet aud domes-
tic in their habits, seldom seen i'm the
streets. except when necessary. and
travelling little. Now they remain
less secluded. appear frequently in
public places and are beginning more
generally to travel for pleasure.
Really. they are taking quite an in
terest in sports now" continued Miss
Alfonso. but they hardly think It
proper to ride bicycles yet Some of
them tried it for q while but our life
is so different from yours that no lady
with n marked stress on this world
lies to be seen on a bicycle. No.
t ey do not play golf. but some OF the
girls are fond of tennis.and play well"
Miss Alfonso laughingly secuted the
idea of the starting of any women's
clubs in Cuba for some time to come.
Public and even private schools are
practically unknown. Miss Alfonso
states. but girls OF means are usually
educated in their homes by private
teachers and governesses. She was
educated herself in this way in Ha-
vana. Occasionally parents send
their children to New York City or to
some foreign city to be educated
Science and mathematics enter little
into girls education, but much at
tentlon Is paid to the study OF Ian
guageS.
"Oh, nearly everybody OF education
can speak English" Miss Alfonso ex-
claimed, and French as VOL. We
think it IA great accomplishment to
speak well in many languages. And
the young women do great deal OF
painting. and. of course, beautiful en-
brO!dery. They are always taught
singing and piano playing and all
things OF that sort"
On being asked whether the women
were interested in charitable OF phil
anthropic work. she admitted that
many of them were. \ popular method
among them of raising money for
these objects is to give ball, at
which the patrons pay literally.
The beauty contests, such as that
in which Miss Alfonso was elected
queen, occur only once in three or four
years. being conducted by some Ha-
vana newspaper. Occasionally Al ball
is given to the newly elected queen,
and no little excitement reigns for the
time among the young girls prominent
in society, for no married woman is
eligible for votes in these contests.

SINGING OF GOOD TIMES.

Let us sing about the good times in the
valleys-on the hills.
The music of the hooking birds-the JOY
of all the rills;
Let us see in all the winters, where the
snow lies chill and deep,
The soil that yearns TO blossom where
the flowers are safe in sleep.
H.
Let us sing about the good times; they
are bright on plain and slope,
And all the world IA ringing with the sill
very bells of hope;
The blue sky bends above us-the grass is
green and sweet.
And the violets spread a carpet for tho
falling of loves feet
Let us sing about the good times: they
are coming right along,
And all the world is sweetcr for their
halleluia song:
And no! for love and living-for no bless
ing love denies.
And life's sweet thanksgiving to the glad
