Something About Starch.

1t sounds contradictory to advise
making cold starch with hot water,
but those who have once tried 1t find
its results most satisfactory. This does
not necessarily mean that the water
must be boiling hot, but comfortably
warm.
Starch made in this way works much
better than that made with cold water
A little salt added to cold starch is an
Improvement, preventing it from stick
ing to the iron
1t is always better to let clothes re-
main rolled some time after starching
them, as they will then iron much
better. If after these precautions you
find the starch inclined to stick to
the iron, it is because it is too stiff.

Proper Dress for Children.

No persons need more careful cloth
ing than. infants and children. In
them the body surface is relatively
large and their heat producing pow
ers are feeble. For this reason they
need to be covered up as much as pos
sible, with loose, light clothing, so
that. the natural movements of their
bodies may have full play. When pos
ssible the undergarments should be of
wool; the prevalent idea that children
should be thinly clothed, with more or
less bare limbs, SO that they may be-
come hardened, is contrary to all ply
ssiologicai teaching and absolutely
cruel On the other hand, unnecessary
swathing Of children in wraps and
comforters is to be deprecated, and it
Goes equal harm in the other direction
by rendering them tender and peel
liarly susceptible to chills.-American
Queen.

snane1ed Hands and Feet.


Stockings and gloves embroidered
in silver and colored spangles are to
be had If ones tastes run to glittering
dress accessories. A black or a pale
green stocking with a dark green ser
pent embroidered on the instep, the
body twisting around the ankle and up
the leg, is enough to give most wom-
en- the creeps. For stage purposes these
eccentricities doubtless have their
uses, but the average woman is con-
tent to gaze, shudder and pass on.
Suede gloves with insertions of lace
or designs in embroidery upon them
locking rather we'll on slim hands and
black evening gloves brilliantly en-
broidered with silver are certainly os-
tentatious, but one can imagine them
and a small, sparkling fan.

ONE MANS LUCK.
stssrsd Into Junior Partnership by q
Chance Gust OF Wind.

Speaking of taking in partners" +"
said downtown business man, "our
junior was, you might say, blown in on
US, and I saw him started in our direc-
ton, though I had no idea OF it at the
time.
"Going downtown one summer
morning on Ninth avenue elevated
train, l saw sitting opposite to me &
young man who caught my fancy, a
substantial, earnest, straightforward
locking chap. whose looks I liked first
rate. He was reading a paper; and
presently he tore off from this paper
an advertisement leaf that he didn't
want and threw it out of the window,
or tried to, for as a matter of fact it
didn't go out. A gust of wind with
just the right twist to it came along
at just that moment and blew the pa
per back, to fall on a vacant seat next
to him.
"And as it fell something in it caught
his eye, and he picked UP that part
which he had just been trying to throw
away and began earnestly to read it.,
and ended up by folding it carefully
and putting it in his pocket.
"About four minutes after I'd got in
here this morning this same young man
walks in and applies for place that we
had been waiting for somebody to fill.
Our advertisement for man for it was
in that paper which I had seen this
young man try to throw away, and
which a gust OF wind by one chance
in a million or more, had blown back
upon him and in such a manner as to
fix his attention.
GAS matter of fact hadn't liked
the young mans act of throwing the
paper out OF an elevated car window;
a paper floating down and around as
that would do might frighten horses
and lead to no end OF trouble and lots
of damage, but no one man thinks
about everything, and he'd learn better
about this, I knew, and so as matter
of fact l took this young man on the
spot, on my first impressions OF him.
He far more than made good and in
due course Of time he came into his
junior partnership, literally and truly
blown into it.

White for Thin Women.

A well known portrait painter ad'
vises women when posing for photo
graph to wear black at the neck, as
It gives fuller effect and in the case
of a very slender sitter greatly en-
hances the, beauty of the throat. The
same artist advises thin women to
wear white as m"rh as possible, as it
makes their slenderness less apparent.
He says the reason why some women
appear to bloom out in summer time
from comparative insignifcance is be-
cause so many white fabrics, such as
starched muslins, piques and the like
are worn.

Leather.Coyered Mantels..

The very newest idea in leather;
decoration is an entire mantel in g
rich shade of green, which was ar
ranged for a Long Island woman who
was dissatisfied with the ugly mantel
in the dining room of her country
home and was advised to try the effect
OF hiding the disfiguring protection
with leather. The result was a COM
plete success and several of her fiends
have followed her example to the exS
tent Of having leather mantel drapery,

gown, but in all other ways 1t practi-
cally takes Its place as new gown.
A good black dress invariably pays
for renovating, but all queer and un-
common shapes, either in skirt or bod
ice, are best left alone unless the ma
terial can be matched or is of the
type allowing for combination. Many
bodices of the seamless or stretched
order can be turned into smart bole-
ros, and then, with new vest and
trimming, it is practically different
garment.
Trimming taken from bodice will
often make smart vest, and even a
narrow vest and collar Of good lace
can be used with side reyers of velvet
or silk or Win cascades Of lace or
even frills falling forward and con-
nected by straps Of velvet across the
centre Of lace. Tucked vests or plas-
irons of silk can be sponged with ben
zoline. Mounted as vests and deco
rated with some incrustatons of lace
in sprays or bows or strapped across
the top in yoke fashion they are hand
some.
There are many garments useful for
country and seaside wear which can
be smartened and brought up to date
at very moderate expense, but they
should be originally of good quality
and cut, or they are not worth the
trouble and expense of alteration. An
old fashioned coat and skirt can be
remade into a smart custome with
about one and a half yards of new
cloth to match. The skirt must be
made into a tight top part fitting a
shaped founce, and the remainder and
the new cloth will make the shaped
flounce.
If there is no new cloth a black,
blue OF brown cloth can be made with
a separate founce Of another color,
such as white, fawn, gray, ETC., and
then covered with stitched tucks or
straps of alternate cloth and military
braid, leaving only tiny lines of the
light color between. The old-fashioned
basque coat cuts into a smart bolero
10 the waist, and the neck can be fin
ished with a big collar.-Washington

landlord, merrily.

giving way to idle fears, thanked the
landlord, and returned calmly to her
bed.-Indiaaapohs San.
