Funerals In Greece.

Foreigners are always shocked at the
spectacle of a Greek funeral. 1t is a
spectacle which most people desire to
avoid. because the body of the dead Is
exposed in an open hearse. The collin

and head, but the hands and much OF
the body, can be distinctly seen from
the sidewalk as the procession passes
through the streets. The lid OF the
coffin, richly upholstered and often dec
Grated with garlands and wreaths, Is
carried on the hearse by the undertake
or. The priest, the relatives and other
mourners follow, and as the CHASTITY
spectacle passes 1t is customary for
bvstanders to remove their hats and
cross themselves.

.o1 he usually says, almost at once:

After dancing and walking about
.ho rooms two or three times, the
..orng man may take the girl back to
her cnaperon and plead another en-.
gagement-or, better, she suggests
that he take her to her place near her
mother or chaperon.
The lady is the one to first init.
mate her desire to stop dancing.
If man hold a girl too tightly she
.bould drop her hand from his shout
der. so as to bring it between her
mariner and herself. If he does not
lake the hint, let her stop dancing at
once. under some pretext so evident
that he may realize her displeasure or
disapproval.
A chaperon should not be lacking
in personal dignity; nor should she
dance while her charge is unprovided
with a partner.
A glrl should be attentive tn her
mother, or cnaperon, presenting her
friends to her, and occasionally stop
ming to say a Few words.
Both young men and maidens should
he carefunl to remember that their
dancing engagements must be kept.
A girl must not refuse to dance with
one man under some pretext, and then
dance with another; neither should
she dance with the same man more
than two or three times.
young man invited to a house
should dance as early as possible with
the daughters of his hostess, and pay
them every possible attention.

HINTS TO HOUSEWIVES.

II is always decidedly cheaper in the
end to buy only good carpets and good
furniture.
Paraffin is a great saver of time and
trouble in the laundry. On the day be-
fore washing soak the clothes in the
ordinary way, well soaping the most
soiled places. Next morning add to the
water in the copper, when it boils,
quarter of a pound of cut-up soap and
two tablespoonfuls of paraffin. Put the
clothes in and boil an hour. When
taken out they will be found quite
white. They must be thoroughly rinsed
and dried in the open air or a smell
of paraffin will be perceptible. This
method is specially good for clothes
which have become yellow from lying
by. Some people use a mixture of equal
parts of clear lime water, paraffin and
turpentine, shaken together till
creamy instead of the paraffin alone,
with excellent results. Soft water
should always be used if possible.
To preserve the fresh color Of
vegetables boil fast in plenty of water,
with cover of kettle off.
