Takinu Care of Your Clothes.

In considering your wardrobe do not
lay too much stress upon the money
saving qualities of the general-utility
gown. It's economy in the end not to
overwork one frock. Keep your street
costume exclusively forthepurposefor
which it was designed. Don't wear it
in the house. Don't be tempted to
make it serve duty for both street and
home wear. If you do, before the sea-
son is over you will surely find that
your skirt is worn and shabby, while
your coat has still kept much of its
original freshness. This just means
that the whole smart effect of your
street frock is lost. No matter how
we'll the coat looks, shabby skirt
provides the touch that makes the cos
tune as a whole appear worn.
On the other band, by saving the
street costume for outdoor wear ex'
clusively being careful to brush 1t, air
IL and to keep both the coat and skirt
on their own special hangers. there
are nine chances out of 10 that the cos
tune will not only keep its original
good looks straight to the end of the
season, but will be in fair condition to
put on next year.-Woman's Home

White House China.

A valuable addition has been made
to the collection of presidential china
which Mrs. Roosevelt commenced soon
after her advent to the White House.
The addition consists of two dinner
plates of the famous Madison dinner
set The plates were presented to the
collection by Mrs. j. Henley Smith of
this city. Mrs. Madison herself gave
them to Mr.. Smiths father soon after
the death of Mr.. Madison, with the re-
mark that as they were used in the
presidents house during her hus-
bands administration time would
doubtless greatly increase their val
ue. The collection Of presidential
ware for the White House cabinets
must necessarily be slow, as the ut
most care is being taken to obtain
only authentic pieces that were owned
by presidents. Mrs. Abbey B. Baker,
who has the work of collecting the
ware in charge, has succeeded in see'
ing the living descendants Of 19 OF the
25 presidents, the majority of whom
have promised either to give or loan
pieces of china or plate to the collec-
ton. It is earnestly hoped by presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt that the col
lection may be made complete in the
representation Of at least one piece of
plate or ware from each administra-
Ledger.

A Questionable innovation.

The rumor that kind Of school OF
conversation has been started in the
west end sets one pondering whether,
after ALL it is such very fine thing
to be good talker. OF late years the
American girl, whose chatter Is inces-
SAINT, has been held up as an example
in this respect to her English sister.
and one constantly hears this or that
girl described as one who is always
bright and cheerful, and always has
something to say" Still, it is very
doubtful whether it Is so very charm
ing to be- chatterbox, and If conver-
sation is going to be taught as fine
art we shall doubtless have reason to
wish for the good old days to return,
when people did not run on" quite
SO fiuently and have smart answers
and anecdotes on the tips OF their
tongues. OF course there are times
when we want people to talk, and
when lively and inconsequent chatter
acts as a tonic, but one is bound to
say it is with feelings OF misgiving
that one thinks of a time when we
may be all machine-made smart con-
versationalists, when epigrams may
hang on every lip, when we shall all
be prepared at a moments notice to
set the table "on roar" and fund
of funny stories and an ever-fowing
stream Of breezy nothingness shall be
possessed by every educated woman in
the land. If it is possible to teach
women to be smart and CHEEKY" it is
certainly not possible to teach those
inclined this way to keep that silence
wlrich is so very sweet and pleasant
at times. The fact Of the matter is,
one cannot have people made to a pat
tern. A bright manner and fluent
tongue are invaluable, but so also are
the gift Of listening and that sympa-
thetic stiffness which is inexplicahle
but so often of greater worth than
the loftiest eloquence.-London Ladys

Pins and Rings.

Women of fashion now adorn their
hats with splendid jewels, namely,
brooches, enriched with pearls, dia-
monds, or turQuoises. In the same
line, long black clasps, destined to fix
the hat on the head, are very effective
in design. The newest effects are of
chased matt gold, adorned with rich
motifs representing birds or exquisite
floral decorations. Some of them are
simply decorated with a large tur-
quoise or emerald framed with bril-
liants.
In the way Of necklaces many new
and tasty patterns are to be seen.
Those composed of several rows of
pearls are still to the fore. The rows
of pearls are gathered together with
superb designs representing fine floral
decorations in brilliants. In this TAX
ing line is noticed an original and
beautiful necklace consisting of two
snakes Of chased matt gold with en-
twined tails, while their heads are fac
ing each other, and seem to be biting
dainty pink pearl. The top Of the
head is adorned with large diamond,
and rubies serve as eyes.
Back or side combs, hairpins, and
the like are extensively shown. In
this order let me mention a magnifi-
cent diadem representing spray of
flowers. Some Of the flowers are of
opal, while others are thickly studded
with brilliants. The effect Of this

An endless variety of hat pins is

Others, very popular also, consist Of
large baroque pearl surrounded with
thistle leaves, delicately wrought. An
exquisite and original pattern is Of
light tortoise she'll, while the head is
adorned with an owls head chased
matt gold, whose eyes are rubies.
Marquise rings are still fashionable.
Besides those consisting of fusiform
opal framed with brilliants. there are
new and effective patterns, the bezels
of which are rectangular in shape and
thickly studded with brilliants. These
bezels are adorned at their centre

Lead Pine for the Razor.

Lead pipe will keep your razor

"Get a short piece of the smallest,
sofest lead pipe your plumber has in
stock and keep it handy when you are
stropping the razor. The scheme is
to rub the strop with the pipe. Apply
the pipe, just as you would strop the
razor, to the unfinished side of the
leather. Strop your razor on that side,
wind up with few passes on the fin
tshed side of the strop and you will
have a first-class edge on the tool. |

Luxuries in Alaska.

A side light upon the mode of liv-
ing in Alaska is given by stating the
fact that in Seattle recently $500
cases of canned cream, fifteen freight
car loads, was ordered by one Seattle
firm from a single cannery for ship
ment to Alaska. This cream is really
milk condensed to about half its vol
ume, and it is very popular in Alaska.
The Alaskans drink it as they eat
bacon.
In Juneau the cold or so-called
"shut-in" months are enlivened with
club affairs, dances and social func-
tions, at which the men are required
to wear dress suits. There are car
pets on the floors of the Alaskan log
huts, and the more pretentious houses
have almost all American luxuries.

The Woman Of OrialnaI Ideas.

The woman of original ideas and
love for novelty is quite in keeping
with the times these days, and, as
there is no decided style which must
be followed, anything which is becom-
ing and liable to create a sensation is
considered quite the thing. Hats and
gowns both are allowed to be i'm
proved upon by milady if she is tasty,
and almost anything, either in color
or cut, is considered if 1t is becoming.
Large hats and small ones, long
gowns and short ones and fur coats
and silk ones are all included in the
regime of fashionable ideas. When
the time comes for a decided fashion
there will undoubtedly be a revolt.
Women will have tasted the bliss of
being original and making their own
fashions, and they, most likely, will
not take kindly to be dictated to.
Even Dame Fashion may be wrong
sometimes and as she is not capable
Of fashioning for all types Of woman
hood, it is best as it is. There is not
one woman out of every 10 who does
not know just exactly wlrat suits her,
and when given her own way with
styles and money she can generally
make herself attractive, and also
make others think so. There are
great possibilities in this seasons

modes of the 1880 decade, we should
