The indications are that the new

will renew their last seasons success.
One of the latest innovations in

EMBROIDERED LINEN.

SO much embroidery is done on
linen, botl for table use and for per
sonal wear in collars, cuffs and shirt
waist fronts, that it becomes a necus-
sity for many women to know how to
launder 1t well.
In the first place, never rub soap
on embroidery. Prepare a suds OF
some good white soap and lukewarm
water, adding a tablespoonful of tur-
pentine to every quart of water. This
prevents the colors from fading.
Squeeze the linen gently in the hands
without rubbing, then rinse in clean
water, and prepare last water with a
little bluing in it and a teaspoonful of
boraX to a quart of water. The borax
renders the linen beautifully white
and stimens it a tri1e. DO not wiring,
but press out the water, and lay them
on clean cloth, roll up tightly ald
let remain half an hour. Smooth cut
carefully on a thick blanket covered
by white cloth laying the pieces
wrong side uppermost, pulling out the
scallops carefully. Press with mod.er-
ately warm iron until perfectly d:y.
A hot iron will not only scratch the
l'uen, but fade the colors likewise.
mus Numbered the linens will regain
their pristine freshness. In the case
of blouse the balance of the waist
would need to be dried and ironec in
the ordinary manner.

THE ADMIRED WIFE.

Elderly people-particular elderly
women-haye an eXasperating way of
talking as if housewifely skill were
the one thing above all others which
a man admires in a woman, said a
woman the other day. I'm their
scheme of a happy home it seems to
be the glorified kitchenmaid who plays
the supreme role, and reinforced by
the German Emperor and mis- exalta-
ton of the cleaning, cooking woman,
they are fond of tracing marital infeli-
city wherever it exists to the lack Of
domestic ability on the part OF tie
wife. A similar opinion finds sapres-
sion in the familiar adages to the
effect that ie you want man to love
wa, you must feed him well; that the
way to mans heart lies through his
stomach, etc.
But, like many of the things which
people go on cheerfully taking for
granted, this appears to be fallacy.
In other words, faint So Thous-
ands of marriages are happy mar
riages, in which the feminine partner
is but an Indifferent washer and ironer
and no cook. Girls who nave never
done a stroke Of homework in their
lives marry with the same celebrity as
girls who are born to the brO0mhandle
and rolling pin.
Truth to tell, there are q great
many things more essential to a mans
happiness than the cooking and clean
ing that so on in his houso-and he
knows it. Men are not half 50 mater
ial as women seem to think, and the
majority Of them want more than the
best housewife who ever lived to make
them happy
AT bottom most men are hopeless
ly, irretrievably romantic, and the
consideration that they cannot make
good bread does not carry a feathers
weight of influence in the alteration
which they pour at the feet Of their
sweethearts or wives. The fact of the
matter seems to be that what man
requires of his wife is companionship.
The ready sympathy of a loyable,
charming woman is a thousand times
more to him than a carefully busted
parlor or five course dinner.
Wholesome food, properly cooked
and served punctually, and clean,
comfortable home are certainly nee
essaries of life, without which man
cannot keep we'll or do his work to
advantage, but there is no doubt at
all that the run of men are ignorant
OF and indifference to g great many Of
the refnements of housekeeping which
are placed ON their shrine by their
domestic saints of wives. Indeed,
most men care so little for housewife
ly skill that they would far rather sit
down to a plate of cold best and a cup
of coffee for dinner with a charming,
we'll dressed woman opposite than to

A NEW FAD.

A recent fad is the collecting OF
purses. To crafty this fad one must
have a purse from all over the world.
There is a quaint purse of all gold
threads from Central America. Then
there is the Indian bead purse. There
are handsome leather purses, with a
jewel set in the front, and there are
the leather purses Of Japan, all bright
eolored and exquisitely carved, with
chain attached, with a jewel onich IS

THE CHILD's MOUTH.

Until the Child is of sufficient age to
use toothbrush, the mouth shonld
be carefully washed with little abb
sorbent cotton, wrapped around the
little finger or around a smooth stick
Care should be taken that the cotton
only touches the mouth. This should
be moistened in boiled luke-warm
water and used gently, and repeated
three or four times a day, especially
after feeding, a fresh piece of cotton

What's in a Name.

On one occasion North Ovington
Messenger, a Washington political
writer, was doing reportorial work
and was assigned to interview Murat
Halstead, somewhat of a political wri-
ter himself. Mr.. Messenger sent his
card up to Mr.. Halstead bearing the
words IN. 0. Messenger" and no 9th

old newspaper man sent word for the
young one to come up. He was met at
the door of Mr.. Halstead's room with
cordiality. Mr.. Halstead had his call

"Um-er" he hesitatsd, "glad to see
you. Come ip-but what is the New

A MILIINER,s ADVICE.

A milliner's advice to her patrons is
to observe the effect Of hat sitting
as we'll as standing Sometimes a
hat is too large for seated figure
while it does very well while tie
wearer is standing. No one wants to
lose in effect by a change of posture,
any more than she wants to wear
hat that is becoming in front and
hideous in the back.

FERvoR OF THE MoHAMMEDANs.
American Tourist Calls Attention to
q Railway Gang at Prayer.


I have often remarked the fervor
of the Mohammedans, says jerome
Hart in tbs Argonaut. Their strict
attention to their religious rites is
unique among denominations, SO far
as my observation goes, for when the
hour Of prayer comes, whether they
find themselves in public or not, they
60 through their deyotions. / adj
mire a man who has the courage of
his convictions, religious as we'll as
political, and the unaffected devotion
of the Nohammedans has always inn
pressed me.
On the outskirts of Cairo one day
we saw a row of workmen on the
railway lining up just as the muez-
zin's call to prayers rang out from
an adjacent mosque.
Look" cried I. There is another
instance Of Moslems' devotion to their
religious rites"
How so?" l was asked. What do
YOU mean? What are they standing
in q row for?"
"To pray" I replied, sententiously-
Don't you see they are facing toward
Mecca?"
Now they v%3re all standing in
row. Ais spoke-as if at given
signal-they all went down.
"5ee!" l cried. "They are prostrat-
ing themselves. In a moment you Will
see them begin to bow toward the sa-
cred city and go through all the elab-
crate forms Of Mohammedan prayer
All, is it not interesting to see a.
group Of ordinary workmen interrupt
their toll in the middle of the day
and turn to their religion?'
We were ali much impressed. | was
particularly SO.
But as we egazed on them, with re-
fex religious interest, the row of men
arose With a unanimous ,grunt they
rose, bearing on their shoulders a
long steel beam, which they proceed
ed to walk away with down the rail-
way track.
An awkward silence followed. i'm
agined I heard faint snickering, but
I affected not to observe it. There are
moments when it is just as well not to
be too observing.
