The next time I fell in love I posi-
! lively refused to attend the lady pro-
| fessionally. She had a very bad attack
of indigestion away along in the middle
/ of the night one time when we were all
| stopping at small village up in the
] country and her brother came rushing
/ down to my boarding house and i'm
| plored me to go up and save her life
But l declined to on the ground that
was sick in bed myself. knew the
local doctor could pull her through all
J right and as / was very much attach
ed to the lady 1 wasn't going to take
any chances on her breaking the spell"
L should think it would have been
better to break it then than after

Il didn't think so then" said the
doctor. Il was very much in love-"
Do not allow children to eat fruit
skins, says an exchange. They are
frequently filled with microbes which
find in the stomachs conditions favor
able to their development. The downy
bloom of the peach is especially liable
| to contain these microbes. All fruit
should be washed before going to the
! table. Grapes may be easily cleansed
| by holding each bunch upside down I'M
der the cold-water faucet.
The dainty woman of small means

Every hat should be kept we'll brush
| ed. for then the unexpected shower
will not leave polka dots upon the
brim and trimming. After being
| caught in a damp or rainy atmosphere
| with befeathered hat you should
| hang the hat over the heat of a radiator
or register. so that the feather fronds
may dry out. This will keep them
| fluffy and often obviate taking them
to be curled. One can curl a few of
the Strengthened fronds with a paper
| knife.
Dust must be kept out of all the folds
of velvet and satin. No hat can be
kept in good order that is left to lie in
the dust and atmosphere of the room
| while not being worn.
| Each hat should be brushed and put
| out of the way in a cupboard or box
| after wearing.
/ Bows, feathers and aigrettes, what
ever is worn in the hair for adornment,
| should also be kept from dust in draw
| ers or boxes between times.
| Lace handkerchiefs should not be
| laundered often, because of the wear
and tear on lace. After each wearing
| they should be put away between folds
of tissue paper.
| Wells should be either shaken and
! folded or rolled after each wearing and
| placed in receptacle for the purpose.
| Ribbons should be smoothed or rolled
over round stick. or folded and put
| away after each wearing
Kid gloves need special attention.
| After being removed by turning wrong
| side out over the hand the fingers
should be pulled into place, and If
| damp allowed to remain out until dry
then smoothed and drawn into shape as
| nearly like the way they came from
the shop as possible. Then put the
gloves away from contact with other
| articles and dust.
| Mrs. Belle Johnson appeared before
! the United States Steamboat inspectors
at Louisville says dispatch and passed
| very satisfactory examination for a
| pilots license. When she gets it she
| will take the wheel of the Grace
| Vielle, which lows provision barges on
vi,
| Ind, to Louisville.
She will be the second woman pilot
| sailing out of Louisville and the fifth
| to have received license to navigate
steamboats, on the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers. First Mrs. Natural Miller took
| the wheel by right.
After her came Mrs. A. B. French.
famous pilot, and then Mrs. Greene
| of Wheeling, West Va, and Mrs. John
| Golden of Jeffersonville, Ind.
They all learned the river and how
| to run boat at their husbands side,
and most of them need the license to
enable them to spell their husbands at
the wheel. Now that the innovation has
! been made there Is no hesitation in
| granting the licenses, for not one of the
! four women pilots has ever met with a
| serious accident, nor has one been re-
| primanded.
| Candle-lighted dining tables are
| more popular than ever, says the New
| York Post. Four candles are needed
| to light the smallest table, and four
| double branched candlesticks are bet
| ter liked Besides silver and brass,
| glass candlesticks, in old English and
| colonial designs are seen. Cut glass is
| to be preferred, of course, but very
| good limitations may be had. There is
| one material which it is hard to under
| stand ever came to be used for either
| lamps or candlesticks, and that is
wrought iron. Possessing no powers of
! reflection or refraction, the light of
even a strong flame is diminished at
| least one-half and a most depressing
| effect obtained Candle shades are
| works of art, whether made of silk and
trimmed with chiffon and beads, or
| fashioned of paper and decorated with
water-color designs. Glass shades, cubes
| of opalescent material, jewel incrust-
| ed, are charming, as are also the parch-
| ment-paper ones with old prints in de-
| licate pink and blue tints, inserted on
| one side. Candle shades should always
| be arranged to entirely hide the flame,
| as the glare so near the eyes is very
unpleasant.
| Servants left at home to look after
| the house do not always give lucid de-
| scriptions of callers that come in the
| absence of host or hostess, says the
| New York Herald. They frequently do
| give vivid, if ludicrous, details, how
| ever.
| A Georgia lady having in her employ
| young negress whose strong point
| was not remembering names, one af-
| ternoon went away, leaving the colored
woman in charge of the premises.
Callers in that town were not always
| so formal as to leave their cards, and
upon return Mrs. c. found that
| visit had been paid her, but that Anne
| liza had forgotten the persons name.
| Mrs. C., being punctilious indi-
| vidual, was anxious to know to whom
she owed the courtesy of q return visit.
