While some women complain that
taffeta both catches and holds the dust,
it is yet a fact that for strappings es-
pecially and stitched empiecements of
whatever form, nothing touches this
most popular of silks Even on outing
rigs it figures to a great extent, and no
sensible person can deny that for dust
less qualities it doesn't beat braid.
Even a plain braid is loosely woven by
comparison and holds a lot Of dust,
while those that indulge in the average
number Of curves, twists and quirl-
ecues generally are veritable dust
traps, With most of the light weight

ply sinks in. This IS not the case with

dian dishes toward the end of the
eighteenth century The novelty Of
adding cayenne and cOcoanut and such
ingredients was never adopted by the
English housewife, though it was a
part of the genuine East Indian chut-
ney. Not until a century later did An

genuine chutneys, with their curious
compound of acids, sweets, cayenne
and spices Of all sorts.
A new pickle introduced this season
is made of red peppers. Soak the
pickles in boiling water for about TWEEN
ty minutes and then put them in
cold brine to soak over night and to
draw out the crude juices Of the veg

slices and make into a sweet pickle pre-

relish necessary with a dish of roasted
meat.-New York Tribune.

An authority on the care of the eyes
emphasizes the fact that in this day
Of reckless misuse of the eyesight the

Here are some Of the main rules for the
care of the eyes which should be Of

First; Do not use the eyes in poor
light, or too far from a good light.
Second: Do not have the body in the
way of the light, nor the light directly

other The light should fall without
interruption from one side. Third DO
not use the eyes much when recovering
from illness or when very tired
Fourth DO not use the eyes when
they become watery, or show signs OF
indisdnctness of vision Fifth; DC
not work with head bent over This
tends to gorge the vessels of the eyes
with blood, and to produce congestion
Sixth: DO not read lying fat on the
back or reclining, unless the book j;

and position as when erect This il
