ART IN SHIRT IRONING.
a Little Disquisition from an Ironer
on Ironing a Shirt to Fit.

fShirts ironed to fit read a sign in
laundry window, and a man who was
curious enough as to what that meant
to go in and ask learned this: There
are two ways of ironing shirt. one
the slap-dash. any way, the other the
careful, painstaking way that results
in bringing the shirt back into its orig
inal lines. so that it will put on and
hang as it was intended to.
This means. in the ironing of a
starched shirt. that it is ironed as to
the bosom. in such a manner that the
two parts of the front will meet and
button shirt. they will button truly.
and the bosom lie fat and smooth and
trim. without waves or wrinkles: and
so that in the case of a stud shirt. the
stud holes will match truly. permitting
the studs to be placed easily and leav-
ing the BOSOM when the studs have
been placed to lie smooth and trim as
in the case described of the buttoned
shirt.
1T means ironing the shoulder pieces
of the shirt they should be ironed.
and getting the collar band true all
around, and meeting properly in front
and standing at the proper and COM
Portable angle to the body of the shirt
means, in short, the ironing of the shirt
as It should be ironed SO that it will
be convenient and easy for the wearer
and so that it will be at it's best as to
appearance. 1t means ironing shirt
so that it will fit.
ooh, yes: there is art in the ironing
of a shirt. New York Sun.

MAY CHANGE ROUTE.
Twelfth Street Car Line May
Be Abandoned.


The city railway this morning started al
work building track on Clay street, be-
tween Tenth and Twelfth, to connect the
Lowman Hill line and the Washburn line.
The company claims that this track is
being built so that the Lowman Hill cars
can be run over the West Twelfth line
while the East Tenth line is torn up. The
work of reconstructing the West Tenth
line has commenced Ia
{ It is to be noted. however, that it IS.
equally possible to run the Wasfburn cars
out West Tenth and thence south on Clay
instead of out West Twelfth as at pres
ent, and there is rumOr that eventually
this may be the permanent line for the
Washburn cars, West Twelfth being
abandoned. OF course the officials of the
company won't give away their plans,
though it is known that part of their
original plan was to extend the Eighth
street line to Lowman Hill and the West
Tenth street line to Washburn.
In case of such an arrangement another
westbound line would probably be
structed south of Twelfth street.
