Dramatic compositions an& pfaaUc- tons are classified for obvious rea sons as comedies, tragedies, melodra- lras, problem plays, emotional plays, etc, as the case may be. The play of '.fier Only Sin presents some strange contrasts. When the curtain las fallen on the first act we have just been face to iace will ali the elemental tragedy of life, eliminating in powerful denou sment; the close of the second act quite convinces us that we are entering upon the prop Csition and working out of vital so- C al problem developed along a high strung emotional place; the third act convinces of this, though varied and sCftened with the melloWing touch of unctious comedy. and brought to a stirring perorat on with a fine burst Of true melodrama-melodrama in it's higher sense; while the fourth and last act in the true spirit of comedy averts the consequences of past catas- trophes, and blends all discordant ele- ments into one harmonious tone.

UTILIZING TOWELS.
They Make Very Pretty House Deco
 rations and Bed Coverings.


 Towels of heavy weave made into house decorations and bed coverings are popular and economic schemes. as are Russian crash portieres.
 Towels as pillow covers may be used just as they are bought, with the fringe on, or if little more decoration is de- sired the fringe is cut off and the edges fashioned into scallops. For the spread 1t will be necessary to sew together two or perhaps three extra length tow els, and to make it wide enough to cov- CT the bed two or more must be joined together on the long edges.
 Even the heavy white and brown bath towels can be effectively used, and at little expense, and if stamped and worked with a figure in bright color they make really pretty cover- lngs.
 In the same way they may be con- verted into tablespreads, the number of towels to be sewed together depend ing on the size of the table.
 Still another use can be made of tow els. They look we'll when hung as portieres between the rooms, but if plain ones are not desirable Russian crash, which is similar to toweling, may be bought in strips of bright colors or delicate shades and substituted without departing from the scheme of using all towel decorations. Fringe from the towels can be sewed to the crash curtains if it has been left on the coverings; otherwise pretty way to finish them is in scallops or dia- monds or whatever scheme has been followed with the rest of the trim mings.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Keep 1t Absolutely Clean if You
 Value the Family Health.
 Grease in the sink is very prolific cause of disease. It necessarily accu- mulates from dishes and utensils, and 1t clings to both wooden and metallic waste pipes, although more readily and tenaciously to the former. With it usually adhere very small bits of vege- table matter which while decaying shelter and nourish mischievous bac- teria, and, besides, the grease will clog the drain after time and, being im- previous to cold water, will become both a menace and an inconvenience. Indeed, kitchen drain is sure to be- cone stopped unless it is frequently washed out with some powerful solvent that will liquefy, combine with or alter the grease and at the same time de- stroy all vegetable or animal particles that cling with it to the inner surface of the pipe This purification should take place at least once week in sum- mer and winter. The surest and sim plest cleansing agent for wooden or iron drains is a strong solution of pot ash or washing soda made with boiling water. The sink should first be scrub bed with soapsuds and then the solu- tion should be dashed while very hot over the entire surface. After the liquid has run off, rapidly pour a generous quantity, also very hot, directly into the drainpipe, which is sure to need purffication most.-Boston Herald.
