Maybelle Kendall, who has been
spending the. winter in Washington,

matrons, serving tea after the custom
of their country, were the features of
the reception held yesterday after
noon at the Woman's club house by the
members of the Friday Morning club

This noble Russian woman has de-
voted her time and money for the
past few years to lending hand to
her native artistic sisters, the handi-
work of whom were on exhibition
yesterday.
New markets are constantly being
opened for the great lace makers of
Russia. and Nine. Blumenthal is en-
deavorfng to establish. direct deal
ing between the home industry of
lace and drawnwork and the pur-
chaser. Many yards of hand made
lace, some f1imsy and elaborate and
some of the strong wiry patterns so
much in vogue, were on exhibition at
e. A. Bray and Mrs. Bertha Hirsch
Baruch were at one table and Miss
Anthony at another. The Russians
who presided at the tea table wore the
dress of the peasant, a full loose fit
ting blouse, plain skirt and a head
dress like a closely woven net, con-
fining the hair in the back and
drawn straight from the forehead.
Miss Evah Metcalf, who has been the
guest of Mrs. Erasmus Wilson of
Chester place and Mrs. Thomas
Spofford of Pasadena will leave this

Court Asked to Decide Upon Validity
of Document

What appears to be an invalid will
was filed in the superior court yester-
day by the attorney who has been en-
gagged to represent the interests of the
estate of Henry Charpiot. The will
reads as follows:
81, Henry Charpiot, give and be-
queath to my beloved husband, Henry
Charpiot," etc. In other words Char
plot has left the estate to himself.
Investigation revealed the fact that
two wills had been drawn up, one by
the testator and one by his wife, and
in some manner or another they were
Crossed"
The validity of the document will be
passed upon by the court.

JAPANESE MINISTER DENIES.
Possession of Philippines by United
states is BENEFICIAL to Japan.

Washington, March 16.-Kogoror
Takahira, the Japanese minister, re-
plying to a public statement, asserting
that the japanese are planning to IN
sist on the possession of the Philip
pines, as soon as convenient after the
conclusion of the war with Russia, de-
iclared in an interview with Post re-
porter, that such was not the case. He
added:
1.-THE possession of the islands by the
United States is beneficial to Japan
and it's people. The United States has
given an object lesson to the orient OF
a more efficient civilization. We are
trying to do our best to teach the ko-
reans. as well as the Chinese, that we
are aided by what has been done by
the United States.
at is true that the advent of the
United States as the controlling power
In the rich possessions of the Philip
pines is a matter of close interest to
the Japanese. Before 1898 there was
little intercourse and trade between
the two groups of islands, but since the
American occupation it is notable
jfact that both have increased consid-
terably
h my opinion regarding the relations
which Japanese should maintain with
the Philippines is very simple-that
they should be good neighbors, whose
commerce will steadily develop, and
whose social and political conditions
will be progressive and peaceful. Japan
has never had any intention of taking
advantage of her neighbors, or TO seek
for territorial aggrandizement; but
the sincere desire of her government is
to have all neighboring countries real
lie that mutual interests can best be
promoted by the maintenance of peace,
and the Strengthening of the tie of in
Jurisprudence. ! do not mean by this
that race coalition should be formed
hostile to the interests of other coun-
tries, such as has been typified in the
expression, Yellow PERIL Japan
wishes other nations to be peaceful and
prosperous, so that she may be ALSO"

TO PREVENT FREEZING.
In Regard to the Question of Keeping
Newly Washed Clothes from
Tearing and Stiffening.

During the winter season, when hang
ing out clothes is so difficult, try put
ting a handful of salt in the last rinsing
water, and the clothes will not freeze or
stiffen until after they are hung on the
line; indeed, it is possible even to
change the position of a lineful of
clothes, if necessary, before they freeze;
and, best of all, If hung out in the sun
they will have coRmenced to dry be-
fore the freezing begins; this saves the
wear and tear, for nothing is so hard
upon linen as this freezing and tapping
in the wind; they are also easier to re-
move from the line, says the House
keeper Have pair of white gloves for
hanging out clothes, the white wool sort
that are worn so much now, and these,
with the salt water rinsing, will rob
hanging out clothes in winter of its
terrors.
Always hang table linen in good shape,
for 1t is almost impossible to iron out
wrinkles which dry in it. Hang both
tablecloths and sheets across the line
evenly, with the weight on the warp
threads, ends down, for the warp is
stronger than the wool, and if hung ha-
bitually lengthwise, the goods will split
across the folds.
Iron down the middle, folding them
exactly opposite from the way they hung
on the line, and they will wear longer.
II clothes have become discolored
through improper washing, try for a
few wash days the plan of scalding
them just before putting them into the
last rinse water; this will whiten them
beautifully although it is more trouble.
