Cheap Innings are really very expen-
sive for they will not wear as long as
the material of the gown and they
never cling to the figure to give the
pretty fit desired. p; Whether it is well
to use lining a second time depends
upon its quality; as rule it is unwise
to do this, since if in cleansing it 1t
has not been kept perfectly true to
the weave. it will pull to the side. Oc-
casionally a lining Is so firm that it
may safely be used a second time for
a house dress or like inexpensive
frock. A good cambria is much more
to be chosen than a cheap silk, and
for all-around service there is nothing
better that a fine percaline. Expe-
rience has shown that many of the
fancy colored Innings in the cheaper
qualities do not pay to make up. They
have been known to cut in the stitch
ing so that they never could be worn.
It is the best economy, if one has lit
tie money, to buy only a good thing.
Slazy Innings are dear at any price.
Innings are not all the supplies the
dressmaker will require. There must
be pins, basting and machine cotton,
sewing silk and twist, bones and bone
castings, unless one uses the prepared
bones, which are in their own castings,
binding ribbon, boiling, dress shields,
velveteen or braid for the bottom of
skirt, and there should be some crino-
line which many dressmakers use
about the arms size, and g. little at the
foot of the: skirt. For smooth-faced
goods many dressmakers use the gutta
percha in holding the hem UP, as this
prevents stitches from showing. It is
the same thing that tailors use instead
Of hemming by hand a mans trousers
at the foot. 1t does not come loose
with being wet, and it does make the
neatest kind of finish to a skirt. Any
patterns to be used must also be

having everything ripped that is to be
made over, the threads removed, and
the goods sponged or oleansed as nee
essary. There is nothing better for
cleansing woolens and silk than wa
ter in which soap bark is placed. This
will remove the shiny appearance
from black silk. Bits Of velvet may
be steamed over a hot iron and will
be ready to do service again. Laces
may be washed in gasolene If white,
but are not to be starched or ironed.
Do not wash in room where there is a
fire, as it is unsafe. Each picot should
be picked out with a pin and the lace
tightly rolled over bottle or stick.
Black lace that has lost it's flrmness
may be dipped into weak gum arabic
water, smoothed and hung to dry
where it touches nothing. Passemen-
tries that need a stitch to restore their
usefulness may be put in order easily.
Preparation in these small particulars
Is time we'll spent, and saves dollars.
No lace should ever be thrown away,
for if the ground work has worn, out
the figure can be appliqued and be eff
fective in many places. H.

The GOSPEL in Song,

The monthly song service in connec.
tion with the Congregational church
was held last Sunday night before a
large congregation. This song service
is becoming quite an attraction, and
rightly so. since such excellent music
is so free; as free as the air; just as
free as the gospel which is SO beauti-
fully rendered in song without money
and without price A tasteful pro-
gram was provided, though not so long
as the preceding one, and the princi-
pals rendered very appreciative music,
all things considered. The principals
were as follows: Mrs. TaylCr and Mrs
Robbins, soprano; Miss Polzin, alto;
Mr.. Macpherson, Mr.. Clews and Mr..
Taylor, Tenor: Mr.. Walrath and Mr..
Owens, bass. Mrs. Walrath OBLIGATED
at the organ. Every detail of the pro-
gram was rendered splendidly. All
those whom God has favored with
singing voice and who are desirous OF
using it for tn ; glory of Him who gave
it are cordially invited to meet at Mrs.
Walrath's on Thursday night at
o'clock. We shall begin to practice
then for the next song service which
