Beyond doubt the best gift the Unit

Two patches of them left San Fran

What One Woman Thinks.

The woman who is good daughter
generally makes good wife.
One of the best ways to keep a mans
love is to make him proud of you.
1t is never judicious to recognize a
fashion as being in style ten years ago.
Because a girl can make fine chocolate
caramels it does not necessarily follow
that she is a first rate cook
Some women's idea of economy is to be
so very careful of their clothes that they
hang them up in the closet until they are
too old fashioned to wear.
1t isn't easy to say the part about

HINTS TO THE HOUSEWIFE.
Things Which Are Useful to Re-
member.


Raw potato juice is an excellent
cleanser. 1t will remove stains from
the hands and also from wooden mate
rials.
Blacklead should be mixed either
with turpentine or with soapy water,
for thus a good polish is soon produced.
The smell of onions may easily be re-
moved from the hands by rubbing over
with celery and then washing them
with cold water.
Alabaster may be cleaned by apply
ing paste of starch mixed with water.
Leave the paste on till dry, then re.
move with a stiff brush, when all dir
will come away with it.
a bowl of quicklme kept in 4 dam
cupboard will dry the air, but it mus
be renewed occasionally, as it loses
power.
TO make red wash for bricks put
an ounce of glue into three quarts of
water and then gently heat it until
the glue is dissolved, then add an
ounce of alum. Mix together half a
pound of venetian red and half an
ounce Of Spanish brown. Gradually
pour the liquid on to file powder stir
ring it well to make it smooth. BE
sure that the bricks or hearthstones
are quite clean. and then put on the
color with a large flat brush. The col
or may be varied to suit individual
nv 4 -; fl, ~,
quantity Of red or brown.
Unbleached calico shrinks, therefore
in making it up one extra inch in each
yard should be allowed for shrlnkage.
To clean black cloth mix one part Of
spirits of ammonia with three parts
of hot water. Apply with a sponge and
rinse off with clean water.
Cold tea is excellent for cleansing
paint, but for white paint milk is still
better
Apprecintivc.
Miss A., who is a teacher Of English in
a school of high rank in her native state,
Mississippi, and who, in spite of her vi
vaclty in conversation, is, perhaps, il
anything, too fastidious in her choice of
words, was spending the summer at the
New York Chautauqua. Her flow of
spirits made her the delight of the dining
table, but at the end of fortnight she
was moved by her landlady to another
place. lady from Boston who had been
sitting opposite the southerner expressed
her regret at the change. II am SO sor-
ry you are going to leave u.s." she said

But look You what else She is besides
one who knows how to cut ana fit gar
mentS.
At II she was graduated from n col
lcgiatc institute in Massachusetts Then
she had year each ut Nassar and
Wellesley. After that came Il course in
stenography and typcwriting, then the
universal American girl students train
Ing in physical culture ana elocution.
Next, to give herself the all round edu.
cation which seemed to her desirable
for woman, she attended sewing
school and accomplished herself in all
branches of that industry.
When Miss Ross thought she was
ready for work, she began teaching in
the public schools. She taught five
years and was specially commended
for original and practical work meth
DDS. From that she served her time as
member of the board of education in a
Massachusetts town and made things
hum" SO that all cried out to have
her back again when her first term ex-
pired. At length this typical American
woman established a business of her
own. school of typewriting and ste
biography. She was likewise teacher
in the night school for men in Haver-
hill, where at one time she counted pu-
pills Of II different nationalities in her
class. Meantime with all the rest she
learned Latin and French. Then she
began the study of Spanish in a hurry,
to 90 to the Philippines. 1t is safe to
say she will not waste her time on ship
board, but will spend it in the further
attainment of Spanish
