There are too many young people
who allow their hearts to run away
with their heads in a love affair. A
young man and woman hardly out Of
their teens are attracted toward each
other. They Chink that they are both
in love. Their parents consider, on
the other hand, that they are too
young to know their own minds, re-
fuse their consent, and advise the
young people to wait awhile. OF
course, the latter Immediately consider
that they are being unjustly dealt
with, and treated like children, and
determine that they will not be baked
in their desire to get married.
Many girls are inclined to consider
that parental friendliness has not
much effect on the happiness of mar
ried life. This is great mistake.
There may come times CT i'll fortune
and sickness, when a mothers help
and advice would prove invaluable.
And the wife who cannot call on that
help is apt to feel bitter sense Of
loneliness and isolation.

romance were dead, but unless. the
romance is tempered with reason it
can hardly have happy ending.
And 1t Is not until a few months
after the ceremony that they discover
their folly. Their passion blinded them
to the fact that they had very little
in common. They did not stop to con-
slider the responsibilities Of married

matrimonial venture is an utter fail

Cotton and shoddy Goods.

Worsted cloths are less often adul-
terated than woolens and are more
easily detected. A cotton worsted is q
lie on the face Of it. for the cotton
thread is twisted with worsted
thread, and to determine its presence
it Is only necessary to take the twist
out Of the thread and then examine
its component parts.
Cotton, having long staple, can be
carded and combed with wool to be
spun into worsted yarn. This Is done
to cheaper the cost Of production. Cot
ton is carded and spun with wool and
shoddy, not so much to cheaper the
yarn, for cotton Is generally as ex-
pensive as some shoddy, but Is intro
duced to give strength or spinning
qualities to the stock. In many cases
the shoddy is Of such short staple that
it would not stand the drawing in spin
ming, and as it would make the cost Of
the yarn too high to put in enough
wool to give that lacking strength, cot
ton is put in for this purpose.
The percentage Of cotton in a fabric
can be determined In this manner:
Take small piece Of cloth and weigh
it. Now boil it for five minutes In a
8 per cent solution Of caustic soda.
Take out what is left and, If any, it is
all cotton. The wool will all be dis
solved. The percentage Of shoddy can
not be determined except by expert
ence.
A cloth or yarn with shoddy in 1t is
easily detected by its feel. Cloth
made Of all new wool is softer feeling
than one containing shoddy, for the
latter has lost that new, soft, springy
feel peculiar to wool.-American Wool

Washing Curtains.

To many housekeepers the curtains
are source Of continual worry. The
best way to wash them is as follows:
Wash thoroughly In hot suds and

Rinse in blue water and squeeze again

through some starch. Shake out we'll
and stretch. Pin quite fiat on a clean
