A Milo laire Tough.

In discussing under the caption
ssThe Millionaire Tough the Chi
cage News well says
Is there growing up in the east
a new social class to-wit, the class
of millionaire rowdies2
The incident IN a hotel cafe in
Atlantic City when Attorney Gen
eral Knox came toto physical en-
counter with three other guests is
only one of a number Of indications
which seem 10 warrant the question.
The spirit Of the rowdy cannot be
concealed by good clothes. The
three men who INDUCED in loud and
boisterous talk. making offensive re
marks about the attorney general
and insulting his wife and friends
and the members Of his family who
were with him, gave an exhibition
of loutishness which would have been
quite in place in any dive patronized
by hoodlums. If they had not been
men Of influence and money and
dressed III correct fashion probably
they would have been summarily
thrown out, as they deserved to be.
It is an altogether unpleasant sign
of the spobbery which seems to be
on the increase in some sections OF
the east that the millionaire hood
lum receives increasing tolerance
whether he respects decency or not.
Loud, wealthy Doors driving their
automobiles recklessly, brawling in
cafes, getting into street fights and
in general overriding the laws OF
decency and department are be-
coming rather numerous.
Attorney General Knox evident
ly felt that the exhibition of million
ARE rogdyism called for redress.
At least be went to the point of re-
turning to the cafe after escorting
his family to carriage, though
such a course could have but one
result. That a respectable man,
whether or not he is a cabinet
officer, need feel called upon to re
sent" with his fists the druken ex-
urhence of men dressed like gentle-
meh bit acting like hobos is doubt
full Probably most other men in
Mr. Knox's position would have
done as he did, out if resentment
against millionaire rowdies is to be
effective it must take some other
form. Il a cheap spirit of snobbery
were not SO rife in certain eastern
cities all the necessary resent
ment' would be done by husky
policemen. Proprietors Of cafes,
theatres and other public resorts
would teach the rich rowdy the
lessons which they are always ready
to impress upon the rowdy who is
not rich.

DRESS HINTS.

Water in which potatoes have been
boiled is the best thing with which to
sponge and revive Il silk dress.
When buttonholing flannel edges.

wear much better.
Corsets may he cleaned by scrubbing
them with Il hand brush and warm
soapsuds after removing the Stco,S and
laces. then rinsing. When dry. mend
carefully and put the stcels and laccs
back in place.
To renew lace veiis dip them in new

Il small amount of rich velvet. with the
addition of some handsome deep cream

LAUNDRY LINES.

Black calico will look like new II
finsed in very strong bluing water.
Laces or delicate materials which are
soaked in borax water do not require
rubbing.
All embroideries and colored garments
should be ironed on the wrong side
whenever practicable.
To fold table linen when ironing place
the selvaged edges together and fold
first in half and then over again once.
When washing flannels, shake and
brush them thoroughly before plunging
into the water. as this removes the dirt
in Il more satisfactory manner and
keeps the flannels white.
Soda and ammonia have tendency
to make silk and wooden goods yellow
if used in the washing, while boraX
tends rather to brighten. If clothes are
not thoroughly rinsed, the color will al
ways be bad.
A housewife with penchant for the
fragrance of orrs root is said to place
a piece of the root in the bottom of the
boiler on wash day. The delicate odor
clings to the clothes even when they
are dried, ironed and worn.

shoes as Nerve Restorcrs.

Eastern travellers say the reason
there are no nervous women in China
is because they wear soft shoes. There
is no doubt that the hard solcd shoes of
the western world are the cause Of
much nerve racking and mental and
physical wear and tear
After hard day much relief can be
found in the slipping on Of pair Of
soft soled shoes.
Tired feet and tired nerves will find
much comfort in warm footbath,
with handful of sea salt in it. Pad
die about in this till the water cools,
dry the feet carefully with Il rough
towel and don fresh stockings. If one
could take time in the middle of the
day to change stockings for fresh
pair. it would be easier to keep the
feet warm and to ward off rheumatism.
Tender feet may be strengthened by
bathing and then rubbing them with
methylatcd spirits before retiring for
the night, and another excellent plan
is to swathe them with bandage
dipped in alum water.

cnre Of n Child,s Hnir.

A little girls hair should never be
washed in ammonia nor should it have
a chemical of any kind put upon it.
Even bOracic acid is bad, and baking So
da, which is so necessary for the grown
up head, is positively injurious to the
hair of the little maid. The hair should
be shampooed not oftencr than once in
two weeks, and the best shampoo is
that of soap jelly and hot water. Make
the soap jelly by shaving Il cake of
pure soap into pint of hot water. Let
it stand upon the back of the stove
until the soap melts. Remove and put
into wide mouthed bottle until want
ed. Add tablespoonful to the hot wa
ter in which the child's head is to be
washed. DO not use water that is too
warm. Be sure upon this matter and
test it by thrusting not your hand, but
your arm, in the water. 1t should be
only warm enough 10 be comfortable.
Hot water Injuries the young roots.
Rinse the hair well in warm water, us
ing spray for the purpose and do not
dry in the sun, but dry by shaking the
hair out and tanning it. This will keep
the scalp clean and healthy.

There are very few people who seem
10 realize that nne-tenths of the noise
made about house is unnecessary. IT
takes no longer to handle things lightly
than it does to fling them down heller
SHELTER with such an mearthly din as
one often hears in badly regulated
households. 1t takes little more time
to put on pair of light shoes. instead
of the heavy and cumbersome out of
door footwear that some people in
dulge in. but it pays good interest on
the effort and time. Especially in
sickroom or where there are people
who are afflicted with those uncomfort-
able accomplishments called nerves,
should this be made a study, says Wo-
mans Life. In one household IA special
requirement is that the coal for the
sitting room crate shall always be
wrapped either in newspaper or put in
bags. In this way much dust is avoid

MRS. LILLIAN NJ. N. STEVENS.

under her guidance the Maine organi-
cation soon became conspicuous in the
national union and its president no less
conspicuous among the ladies at work
in the temperance cause. Mrs. Stevens
advance in the union was rapid. She
was elected vice president during the
life of Miss Willaye and succeeded that
great refOrmer as president when Miss
Willard died
In addition to her temperance work
Mrs. Stevens is connected with Il large
number of charitable organizations.
For years she has been the Maine rep
resentative i'll the national conference
of charities and correction. In 1892
she was one of the women managers of
the Worlds Columbian exposition and
had entire charge of the charities and
correction exhibits, including homes,
hospitals, asylums. etc. For three
years she was treasurer of the National
Council of Women. and when she re-
signed that position was placed in the
cabinet Of the council and given the
portfolio of moral reform.
She has always been Il pronounced
woman suffragist and stood by Miss
Willard stanchly when she introduced
the question of the ballot for women
as an aid to temperance reform into the

A dinner is the acme Of entertaining
and beautiful things are appropriate to
it.
The leaves of this design form a
framework for the blossoms, and both
are so managed that. while conVen-
tionalizCd as to arrangement, they do
not in the least violate the manner OF
the natural growth Of the plant. They
are embroidered in deep yet soft shades
of green. The orchids should lie worked
in puppies and gold, always Il rich COM
bination. The method of the stitchery
is feathcrstitch, and this work should
be slanted toward the stem base of the
flowers and kept almost parallel in the
leaves Since to embroider a flower as
complicated in form as this requires
some skill, an amateur should avail
herself of all possible helps. None is
| more desirable than color studies
If these were obtained and followed
more often by the embroiderer, as they
are by the decorative painter, we
would have better needlework. There
are many beautiful orchid studies. as
these flowers are favorites in decora-
tive art. With one before the en-
broidery frame the worker can shade
correctly as well as follow the lines
which indicate texture, as a guide to
the proper stitch direction.
Before setting the work on the frame
fine buttonhole edge should be en-
broidcred all round the outer outline
of the design The embroidery can
afterward be carried down close over
this. 1t is not supposed TO show much,
merely to fortify the edge so it can be
cut out when the work is complete.
The work should be done on round
weave linen of good quality. 1t is no
economy to put needlework on inferior
materials. - Lillian Barton Wilson in

Elaborate corniees ana niantels should
be banished from the house. 1t is too
difficult to dust them. The walls should
be finished with smooth paper or paint,
so that dust will not readily find lodg-
ment, and Il wall mop will free the wall
of what dust would adhere. Rugs
should be adopted in place of carpets
where possible. The windows should
allow sunlight free access and not be
covered with heavy draperies, which
not only exclude light and air but alb
sorb odors and hold the dust Very
elaborate carvings are undesirable. In
fact, furniture and hangings that do
not admit of ready cleaning may be
considered Mt once to be insanitary.
The wall papers, draperies and car
pets should be free from arsenic.
