A hot iron removes putty from
glass without any injury to the win
dow frame.
In starching doilies with fringed
edges 1t is we'll to dip the fringe or
lace into salt water before starching.
In buying canned vegetables or
fruits a considerable saving may be
effected by purchasing by the dozen
cans.
1t is generally thought that little
starch in pillow slips and handker-
chiefs keeps them clean longer than if
not starched.
White velvet, or broadcloth, can be
cleaned by rubbing with flour or corn
meal, brushing it off and renewing it
as often as needed to remove the
dirt.
When making boiled starch add to
1t small quantity of gum arabic (pre-
viously dissolved) and salt. Clothes
starched with this will not stick to
the iron.
Tincture of iodine Is valuable for
sterilizing water; four drops in a
carafe of water is sufficient to render
the liquid fit for drinking purposes
within half an hour.

Dark Gowns In Favor.

AS is always the case when light
colors have been fashionable for some
time, there is a revolution in favor
Of dark ones, so this year there will
be many dark costumes wern. But
there are some charming browns and
greens and puppies, and one shade of
red in the American Beauty rose color,
and all of these are thought very
smart.
The black cloth or black velvet cos
tune, however, or the very dark
brown, will be the most popular Of
any, and the same coloring is carried
out in the afternoon and evening
wraps. But in these days so many
gowns are requisite, and also so many
wraps, that it would seem possible to
the woman Of wealth to have all the
different colors in winter outfit

The Latest Couture.

The softly waved hair is drawn back
loosely and twisted in long coil from
the nape Of the neck to the very top
of the head, where 1t is arranged in
two or three puffs, above the pompa

coil is placed a spray of small flowers
and foliage, pinned closely to the head
or long narrow comb, exactly at
right angles to the way back combs
have been worn for so long. A very
smart woman was seen the other day
with her masses Of fair hair done in
this new manner, and a half inch
band Of amber ran from the top Of
her pearl collar to the crown Of her
head.-Montreal Herald.

aTo Be Left TIN Called For.U


Three weeks later and the curtain
rising discloses the same scene. 1t is
the second interview between Mr..
John Sharp and his new client.
$50 you had my letter, sir?" said
the former. Il hope you didn't think
was wasting time? But the fact is,
you gave me rather a large order" p
II do not care how much time you
take over the affair so long as you
bring 1t to a successful issue. The
question is, what have you been do
ing? What have you discovered? And
do you think that you are on the right
track?"
"You shall see for yourself, sir"
said the detective. ITO begin with,

At this remarkable confirmation of
his suspicious, the young man could
not restrain violent start, which
Mr.. Sharp received as tribute to
the profession in general and himself
In particular.
II had not expected that you would
discover 1t SO easily" murmured his
client. 1T almost seems-but never

The olive has been symbol In
more than one mythology. The dove
bringing the branch to the ark gave
1t to the Imagination Of the Orient as
an emblem Of peace or confidence re-
stored. Among the Greeks 1t was the
sign Of peace and the placid power of
wisdom.
Though a native Of Syria, and pos

But have you discovered anything
relating to the past?-anything to
show why he left England and went
to American"
Mr.. Sharp referred to another OF
the documents before him. IL have
been hard at work ever since my re.
turn to town, trying to pick up the
thread. At last 1t occurred to me to
try and find out the photographer
the one who took this Photograph
selecting 1t from among the other ar
ticles before him. Somewhat to my
surprise, found the same firm still
carrying on business. l explained
matters, and found them very obliging
and willing to give any assistance In
their power. OF course, 1t was too
much to expect that they would re-
member anything about customer
who came to them so far back as
1858; but they referred back to some
of their books, and"-triumphantly-
they found the name and an address.

Mr.. John Sharp handed him another
paper, which had an address written
on 1t, and continued, 81 went to this

the window announcing apartments

the landlady, an ancient party, and
led her back by degrees to the date
in question, and found that she did
remember Mr.. Ferrers, or some such
name, who was with her from fifty.
eight to sixty. But after that date
he left her, and went to the West End
to live, and she did hear"
"What?" was the question, short
and sharp, which fell from the others
lips.
"'She did hear" continued Mr..
Sharp, Though how she came by It
she didn't know, that he subsequently
went abroad under a cloud"
"And that is all?"
"That is all at present, and not SO

also informed me that they dlned to-
gether at the table d'hote, and seemed
to all appearances, on the most ami
cable terms. The next morning they
breakfasted together in their private
room, and left by the 4:S0 train in
the afternoon. The waiter mentioned
a circumstance, which take to be of
considerable Importance, which was
that one Of the chambermaids told
him that, from the appearance of the
bed, she believed that the gentleman
in No. 37-meaning the one who had
crossed by that boat-had slept with
pistol, or something, under his pill
low. Ali you see the Importance Of
that bit Of evidence?
"The next thing I had to do" con-
tinued Mr.. Sharp, was to discover
the boat by which the gentleman, who
gave the name of Ferrers, had ar
rived. This was easily done.

From the marks and directions upon
them, l made out that the party they
belonged to had come from America,
that he had visited Paris, and after
wards crossed to Dover via Calais.
Now, either he will claim his luggage,
and by that means render detection a
mere matter of A, B, C, or he may de-
eide to relinquish his property, what
ever its value, as being, after all, less
precious than his own safety. | In
cline to the latter view myself"
His listeners face clouded.
"Then 1t all depends upon his ap-
pearing to claim the luggage7"
"A good deal depends upon that,
and everything depends upon nothing

A new and most inexpensive as well
as effective way of trimming under
garments, shirt waists, sofa pillows
and children's clothing is the brier
stitching, which can Hbe easily accom-

fingers. The garment should first
have pattern traced lightly on 1t
with a pencil, then the worker may
proceed to feather stitch with lustre
floss or any Of the wash silks.
