Your Everyday Clothes.

Do you ever think of airing your
clothes? No? You think that when you
wear them they get aired. So they do.
but not thoroughly and properly as
they ought to.
To keep your clothes In really good
condition you should brush and shake
and air them every little while.
The dress or suit you wear every day
should have a daily shaking and brush
ing and thorough going over once a
week. You viii be rewarded for your
pains. as your clothes Will last much
longer and look much better
II ii is wool or dark material the dust
gets ground in and very soon the whole
dress has rusty appearance that with
little care you might have avoided
Pressing is a great renovator, and
skirts particularly need IL once In a
while, as they get hard wear and are
apt TO be pulled out Of shape and get
knee holes, which certainly are not
pretty.
There is another advantage about air.

1t keeps them fresh and clean. Nothing
Is more dtsagreeable than an odor OF

To be fresh and clean and neat is the
way TO be attractive, and every girl
can and should be all three.

EARLY METHODISM IN
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
Subject of a Lecture Before the Wash
ington Historical Society by
Dr.. Ferguson.

Members of the Columbia Historical
Society met at the Shoreham last night
10 hear an address on Early Methodism
In the District of Columbia" by the
Rev. DR.. w. NJ Ferguson, OF Wesley
Church.
The speaker gave !. complete history
Of Methodism in Washington. tracing
its origin back to 1772, when the doc
trines of the denomination were preach
ed to the residents of Georgetown by
the Rev. Robert Williams, a travelling
evangelist from England.
The first local Methodist Church was
built in Montgomery Street. Georgetown,
in 1895. A church was later erected in
Alexandria. and from that time on the
denomination rapidly gained followers.
First official mention of the Washing
ton churches was made in the minutes
of the conferences in 1902, although the
date of the introduction OF the sect into
the city was some years before this.
Followers Of Methodism in Washington
erected a church before 1900 at Green
leafs Point. within the original bounds
of Carrollsburg, and In 1911 the trustees
of the Methodist Society built a church
in Fourth Street southeast. In its con-
gregatton were many prominent men,
among whom was Henry FoXhall. IA

TO WEAR WHILE DOING
EXERCISES AT HOME

It is possible to go in for athletics
without looking like fright while thus
engaged. For home training a jaunty
costume can readily be made at small
expense.
Select dark blue serge or French fan
mel and trim with scarlet cloth and SOU
tache braid to match Make the waist
like a sailor blouse, loose across the
shoulders and long under the arms to
permit perfect freedom Of movement.
Terminate the broad collar in front in
stole end facings stitched fiat TO the
waist or use either a standing or turned
over collar II preferred. The skirt may
be cut in cores and reach just below
the knees, or full knickerbockers only
may be substituted. Bishop sleeves
completed by a three-inch cuff and a
broad tie of soft scarlet silk knotted in
front, with ends tackled under the col
lar. Just above the bust gives a pretty
completion of the blouse.
To obyiate pulling apart at the waist
line the skirt should be attached TO a
loose-ftted, low-neck, sleeveless waist,
and the lower edge of the blouse held
snugly 70 the form by an elastic tape
run into a casing.

To prepare them dissolve half a box

GOOD Way TO Fresken
Worn Satin Slippers

How often the toes of satin shoe get
rubbed and shabby before there is a
sign OF the sole wearing. And to the
girl with a limited dress allowance. satin
shoes are an important item, so she
may gladly welcome this idea:
Take a piece of paper and pin 1t on to
the front of the shoe and then cut the
pattern as far back as is necessary TO
look smart. A quarter of a yard Of a
piece of guipure will be found sufficient
If care IS taken in cutting the pattern.
and then all that remains is to stitch
IL neatly on the front Of the slippers.
II is suggested that the lace be not too
heavy, and of a design that will APP
plique well, otherwise a heavy and
clumsy shoe will result.

To Keep The Hat On
When the Wind Blouos

March and April have come and gone.
yet the wind, which erstwhile was the
peculiar property OF March, Is still with
us. Large hats are coming into greater
use as the sun shines brighter, and the
evil days are coming when women
take no pleasure in these same large
hats. by reason of the difficulty sus-
tanned in keeping them on their heads,
the wind careering wildly and with evil
dent delight under the upturned brims,
necessitating the continual holding on
Of the hat by the right or lefr hand
IN the open cars which are appearing
one bv ono.
Now. When a woman does her hair
high, it is an easy matter to keep the
hat on by means OF extra long hat
pin, which may be inserted from the
back to the front of the hat, or vice
versa, and with one smaller one placed
on either side of the band which Sc
cures the hat on her head
When, however. she coils her hair
low on her head. the difficulty becomes
greater, and because of the compare
lively small amount of hair on the top
Of the head, it is not quite so easy to
keep the hat on by pins alone
This is where the old-fashioned meth

as hat pins are bound to do in time.
and by it's help the hat is firmly secured

ii ever so madly.
The elastic may be narrow and incon-
spicuous and the old plan of using a
double piece on one side, to serve as
loop, and a double piece, through which
the shank of a large boot button has
been slipped at the other side. is the
more comfortable way, although two
loops secured by two hairpins might be
used with good results.
Elastic has another good thing in its
favor. that of keeping the side locks
from being too sDCrtive.
Those who adhere to the Dompadour
and wear a pompadour comb to secure
the necessary height, will find that a
strong steel hairpin IA ay be put through

frame. and bent so that the lady ana

 The foregoing five instances are but a few of many which could be enumerated. The boys have be- come an intolerable nuisance. They are not residents of any particular locality, nor do they belong to any particular nationality. And among them Gas hereinbefore stated) are boys of good families who are mis- led by others really vicious. There is no doubt that Larkin was exasp- erated by the gang until he com mitted the homicide for which he is now held.
 The authorities do nothing to protect citizens from the gangs of unruly boys whose depredations have become SO intolerable. One prominent citizen relates that he lodged complaint and had arrests made. The guilty boys were tried, convicted and sentenced. But a bill of costs was rendered. The aggrieved citizen paid it; but he says he will hereafter take the law in his own hands.
 Now it behooves the town and county authorities to go to work and protect taxpayers and prop erty holders from the exasperating annoyances and depredations com mitted by unruly boys. The tra- gedy of Wednesday may serve as a protection for time But when the depredations are renewed, the should do something in the matter Or there may occur other homicides.
