can't imagine better advertising
rumor, for Munsey, but it's little too
good to be true. If there were any
thing in it there would presently be
business ofstarting sensational papers
to sell-a system of parallel Ines
like the West Shore and the nickel
Plate" as it were-and the last state
of public prints would be worse than
the first. Besides, Munsey didn't be-
gin with the "yellowest" papers, but
with those having press franchises
that he could buy cheap.
Munsey's methods are not as yet far
different from Mr.. Ochs'. He doesn't
go in much for pictures;I he prints "alI
the news that's fit to print;" he uses
much personal and anecdotal matter;
he looks out for women readers. He
pays more attention to sports than
Ochs, and has made bigger raid upon
the labor market; for while Ochs had
an experienced staff all organized on
the Times, Munsey has had to build
from the bottom, at least in his New
York paper, with the result of raising
salaries all round for the fortunate
ones who have been "sent for.''

ment in Great Britain. Lady Henry's
own name is Isabel Somers. She is
the daughter of Earl and Countess
Somers, and is now just SO years
old. In 1872 she was married to Lord
Henry Somerset, M. P, who is second
son of the duke of Beaufort. In
1890 she first achieved considerable
Importance by her election to the
presidency of the British Women's
Temperance association, now the lar
gest company of its kind in England.
In 1892 she was elected vice presi-
dent of the Worlds Women's Chris
tian Temperance union, and in 1898,
on the death of Miss Frances Will
lard, she succeeded that famous
woman as president of the interna-
tional association, which numbers
over 500, 900 members in various parts
of the world. Since 1895 Lady Henri,
Somerset has interested herself in
practical reforms. She founded in
that year the Industrial Farm COLONY
at Duxhurst, which has grown to
remarkable dimensions This great
philanthropist is very rich. She sue
ceeded to her fathers vast estates
in Hertfordshire, Worcestershire.
Surrey, and London, and since 1884
she has used her wealth for the good
of her fellow men.

fates only grant we are guided safe

Ito an end that is at once correctly
sartorial and happily adapted to the
individual.
A truce, though, to generalizing,
the while we discuss for moment
possible renovations. Myself l am
much persuaded as to the services of
the pelerine, presented for choice in
velvet or panne. But this resuscita
ton is still so much in it's infancy
one is modestly tentative in describ-
ing its probable presentments. l re-
greet to say that have met it once
or twice under singularly inartistic
circumstances. There is something
of an inclination - an inclination
very much to be deplored, if 1 be
permitted the criticism-to modern
ize the pelerine out of all recogni-
ton. The adding of shaped frills on
to it's simple shoulder outline merely
creates confusion, and utterly con-
POUNDS vogue that left in it's purity,
is of essential charm. Frankly I can
conceive no prettier touch than a
last years visiting gown of cloth re-
by the aid of velvet pei
serfne-one shaped to just escape the
shoulder bend, and tapering off into
"a sharp point either side the front,
"a detail that corresponds in kind to
the single point almost touching the
waist at the back.
1T will be altogether a matter of
taste whether small rolled-over
collar tapering to nothing, one and
a half inches or whereabouts, below
the base of the throat, will be ac-
'counted~an improvement or no. Al
though this is an addition that can
mot fail to appeal to those whose
predictions run to little business
about the top of the figure. Innings,
by the way, will be an effe lively inn
portant item with pelerines, these of
fering direct encouragement to that
alluring soupcon of contrast we are
all learning to acknowledge as the
perfection of artistic value.
In respect of the wide rever and
marin collar, there are several i'm
pressive indications that if La Mode
could be allowed to work her will
without let or hindrance, she would

WASHING FINE LACES.
1t Is the Most Delicate Task Which
the Average Woman Il Called
Upon to Perform.

There is no better rule to give fo1
having ones laces spotless than to
keep them always clean, and to be
more careful of them than of gold
and precious stones.
An earthenware slab is the first
thing needful. Sometimes there are
old platter trays which are perforat.
ed, or even, with small pieces, the in
side of an earthenware butter dish
would do. Whatever is used first get
your slab. 1t should be, according
to rule, eight to ten inches square,
and pierced with small holes about an
inch apart. The next requirement is
piece of book muslin or bobbinet
large enough to cover the slab, and
tie securely in the back. To make this
possible, the material is hemmed all
around and double tape run through
the hem, by means of which it is
drawn up.
Next take the lace and fold it quite
small, place it on the slab and cover
it smoothly with the muslin or bob
blnet; pull snugly over the lace and tie
it in the back. An earthenware tub,
or one of metal, should be used for
washing, and into this pour a gallon
of cold water, to which three ounces
of soap have been added. If 1t is pos
sible to allow the time, the lace should
soak in this water for IL hours. Be-
fore taking it out it must be washed
with the palm of the hand for at least
five minutes. Then it goes into tub
of perfectly clean water, and is washed
in the same way for two minutes.
Boiling is the next process, and a
copper boiler should be used. A GAL
Ion of water, in which four ounces of
soap have been dissolved is poured
over this, and the lace is allowed to
boil for two hours at least. Again
the slab is placed in the tub, and over
it is poured gallon of hot but not
boiling water, in which have been
dissolved two ounces of soap, the lace
being again washed with the palm of
the hand as before.
Now take the lace from the slab,
reverse it without unfolding, replace
on the slab, cover with the muslin, tie
tightly with the tapes at the back,
and wash at least five minutes with
the palm of the hand. Put again in
tub of clean cold water and wash
it until it is quite free from soap.
If it is badly soiled it can be placed
in the sun instead of being left so long
boiling, and can remain until it is dry.
Starching laces seems desecra-
ton, but here is the way to do it if
one must. To one ounce of starch add
two tablespoonfuls of cold water, and
when the starch is dissolved pour
over it one pint of boiling water. This
is for wal" lace, Cluny, Maltese and
old Devonshire. For Honiton, point
and antique laces one ounce of starch
should be mixed with ~ pints of wa
ter.
With the lace still on the slab, the
starch is thrown over the center and
from there will saturate the whole
surface. With the slab placed in a
slanting position the starch will drain
off in about IS minutes. Then place
the slab with the lace On it flat on
table, and with clean, thick cloth
four or five times doubled, pat until
all superfuous moisture is absorbed.
