IRONING A SHIRT wAl,r.

Not infrequently young woman
finds 1t necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home SER
want cannot do it. Hence these direc-
tions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists SO that they will
look like new 1t is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch. then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in damp cloth. to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl of water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the iron
ing board. Have your iron hot. but
not sufficiently SO to scorch. and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back. then the front. sides and the
sleeves. followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. II there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with q blunt
knife. and with the edge Of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give 1t
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
ironed 1t should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before 1t Is folded
and put away. says the Philadelphia
Inquirer. r. "a rteFT- FL

FAMOUS COOKS OF PARIS.
Geniu. In the Culinary Art as In Other
Things.

Genius In the Culinary Art as In Other
Things.
In recently published book on cul-
mary art DR.. Lemaunier. a physician
of Paris. gives several interesting
items regarding well-known chefs.
He mentions the melancholy death Of
Trompette, the celebrated cook to the
Duke of Noailles. who. in fit OF GIN
bition, deserted his aristocratic master
for the luxurious but plebeian Kitchen
of Gambetta. He never forgave him
self this base and sordid action, and
died in a state of melancholy. After
Trompette comes long list of Illus
trious men who have raised French
cookery to its well-deserved reputa-
ton.
The Maison Doree gives $4,000
wear to Casimir Moisson; the Baron de
Mohrenheim had in his kitchen two
brothers, the Fauvets. who never sep
arate: the Duchess of Alba. cousins OF
Empress Eugenie, has for her chef
George BouZon. who was a great IA
vorite of Napoleon III.
The cook of Nicholas II. gets $45,00o
a year; he is an Alsatian of the name
of Krantz and enjoyed such privileges
under Alexander II. that he was al
lowed to carry sword, and. what Is
more, to retain his French nationality.
The cook of the King of the Hellenes
took all his degrees in the university.
but in 1858, carried away by his love
of the art, he entered as cook in the
Comte de Chambords house, whence
he passed into the kitchen of the
Duchess of Parma, the mother of the
Princess OF Bulgaria: and now he
caters for the palates OF the royal fam
lily of Greece.
Chevalier. who learned his art at
the Jockey Club. under the celebrated
Jules Gouffe. began his career in the
royal house of Sweden and is now
with that of Roumania.

TRISTAN D'AcUNHA.
Little Communication With the Rest
Of the World.

The death. in his ninety-fifth year, of
Thomas Watson, the governor" of the
small island of Tristan d'Acunha, in
the South Atlantic ocean, directs at
tention to Il little community which is
practically severed from coinn}uniea-
ton with the rest of the world. e
Tristan d'Acunha was discovered by
the Portuguese in 1906, and formal pos
session was taken of this small speck
In the ocean in 1917 by company of
British artillery, for the purpose of
keeping watch on Napoleon, at that
time a prisoner in st. Helena. On the
death of Napoleon the soldiers were
withdrawn, with the exception of Cor
poral Glass and two companions, who,
with some. whaling men. were the
founders Of the present settlement.
The colony fiourished and numbered
in 1928 twenty-sevcn souls. and in 1887
there was n population of ninety-seven.
Property Is held in common, and there
is no strong dring. and no crime, while
the Inhabitants are healthy and long
lived. The Oldest inhabitant acts as
governor A ship of war pays the is
land an annual visit, and brings the
only mail that ever reaches the inhab-
tnnts. The settlement Is in II fertile
part of the island, and is called New
Edinburgh. The population has been
for some years almost stationary, and
is kept down by migrations to the
Cape.
Watson went to Tristan d'Acunha
from the Cape siXty-five years ago, and
never afterwards left the island.-Buf-
