TO CLEAN RIBBONS.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE When deli
cate color8d ribbons are only slightly
soiled, they may be cleaned by rub
bling them in hot flour, then shaking
thoroughly. If there are any grease
spots on the silk, they may be re-
moved by rubbing with naptha,
using a piece of the ribbon for a
sponge, or by sc1aping French chalk
over the spot, allowing it to remain
over night and brushing off in the
morning. If they cannot be easily
cleaned, and there is fear of the color
fading, the ribbons car be washed
in bran water by lifting up and
down and squeezing between the
hands until they seem clean. If the
ribbons are delicate shades of pink,
rinse in cold water, to which has
been added a little salt, while lilac
and violet colOrs may be set with
alum, using a small lump to a quart
of cold water vinegar Is good tor
the different shades of green.
To wash black ribbons, place each
piece on Il smooth, clean table and
scrub with a small brush dipped in
cold coffee after it has been we'll
strained, or in a fluid made with
equal parts of alchohol and tepid
water. Place between cloths and
run through the wringer, or smooth
with the hands and hang on the
line to drip, and when partly dry,
iron on the wrong side with a piece
of black cambria placed between the
iron and the goods.
In washing with suds and warm,
soft water, the ribbon must be
rubbed gently as hard rubbing loOs
enc the weave, and the pieces must
be thoroughly rinsed. Short lengths
Of ribbon can be dried by drawing
them smoothly over a marble-top
table or a large window pane, when
then they require no ironing but
will have a fresh new appearance.

AUNT N LETTER.

Patience is the first member of the
Circle to respond to my call of two
weeks ago, and I hope to hear from
a number of others this week. We
have a long list of bright enter
tanning writer's who can not only
help others by their letters to Social
Chat, but will themselves be bene-
fitted by thus writing for the press.
And l think that our State pride
should prove an incentive in this
matter. This is the only department
of it's kind in a North Carolina paper
and we should take an interest in it
and endeavor to make it the best
possible. The Progressive Farmer
is read throughout North Carolina,
from the mountains to the sea, and
in every county Our Social Chat
should have one or more correspon-
dents. Let US hear from those in
terested in making Social Chat
brighter and better-the old mem
bers, and also those who have not
yet joined us. Of course, we should
like to have representatives of other
States. In Kentucky, for instance,
live two or three of our most faith
full members, one of whom has a
good letter this week. Let others
follow the good example of Patience
and Martha. AUNT JENNIE.

HER THOUGHTFULNEss.

The Protestant Bishop of Norwich,
England, tells a rather good story
against himself. He was walking
one day through a pleasant suburb
of the city, when his thoughts we're
interrupted by a pleading voice,
saying:
ooh, please, sir, will you open this
gate for me?'
Looking down the Bishop saw a
little girl of about eight, with a
cherubic face framed in sunny curls.
aud he FASTENED to comply with the
request. He held back the gate for
the little maiden to pass through,
and when she thanked him with a
smile he asked if she was not big
enough to open the garden gate her
self.
ooh, yes, sir, " she replied, sweetly ;
''but you see the paint is wet, and
1 should have dirtied my hands ~

AN IRON WILL WITH LIMITATIONS.

Two men were arguing in their
club. One, a fellow of inefable con-
oeit, was boring everybody with
boasting of the power of his will,
maintained with much violence that
his will was stronger than that Of
anybody present. An English paper
records the conversation.
"You are wrong there" said one
Of the gentlemen, ''and I will prove
it. Go and stand in that corner, and
I will have you out Of it before I
have commanded you the second
time"
The smart one stood in the corner,
and the quiet one said:
"Come out of that corner"
The other grinned and shook his
head. The quiet man sat down and
looked at him steadily. Five minutes
passed, and then the smart man said
with q sneer
Ion you think you O6GT6T gIF0

man, ''there's no hurry. am per

LOOKING BACKWARD-A RURAL WE'D
DING.
Co., n. I


When midsummer comes there is
a rush of memories, and once more
I see the girl bride, clad in her sim
pie white dress, a string of pearls
around the fair throat and the ro-
mantle eyes looking out on an unreal
world, but with unquestioning faith
in the lover husband. There is a
twinge of sadness as she sees every
one busy with the coming festivi-
ties, and a grave doubt creeps in, as
to the wisdom of leaving such a Low
ing home but it is dispelled by
thoughts of the rose-colored future
that shall be complete happiness
with no sadness intermingled. Oh =!
girl bride no sadness?
Skies we're never so blue on we'd
ding days before, or clouds so beau
tiful, piled up in great white feecy
pillows with sun FURNISHED edges
The trees are surely a tenderer,
more bewitching green and the bird
orchestra is singing it's choicest col
lection, all in honor of the occasion.
Then the ceremony, with the bride
all a-tremble, the guests grave, the
bridegroom proudly important, and
after the fatal words are spoken,
which are a part of this wedding
dream, the world still remains IN
real, gossamer.
Even the great long, heavy table,
with it's substantial viands, snowy
cloths and shining glass and china,
spread under the oak trees in the
grassy yard, this, too, to the blush
ing bride belongs to the mystic Gar
den of Eden. When a cousin sings
with soft accompaniment, Ear
Away, Far Away" the bride moth
er is melted to tears, but not until
years ~afterward, dear girl bride, do
you really know the sad mean,
ing Of
''some have gone to lands far dis
tant,
And with strangers made their
homes;
Some upon the world of water
All their lives r forced to roam :;
Some have gone from US forever,
Longer here they could not stay,
They have found u fairer region,
Far away, far away"
And the first and last lines:
"Where is now the merry party
l remember years ago?
They have all dispersed and wandered
Far away, far away"
The rest is all more or less an in
coherent dream, even the fifteen
mile ride next day on the Ozark
Mountain road to the ''infair' din
ner still the lines and wheels are
Cupid's and he the driver. The ber-
ries growing by the roadside and
handed to the bride by the lover
bridegroom have ever after a differ
ent association and meaning to the
foolish girl wife.
What does the future hold for
them? All Let it disolose-stead-
fast love THROUGH life while they
find that ''life is real and earnest"
and pass thrOug all its sunshine and
showers.-Pine Burr, Wright Co -,
Mo.
