A Sandwich Filling.

I would be very thankful if you
would give me filing for sandwich
in your columns next week.-A Sub
scriber. 9
There are dozens and dozens of sand
WITCH filings and as you do not specify
any special kind it is rather difficult to
know just what you want. Sandwiches
with lettuce and chopped nuts, or let
tuce and olives with salad dressing are
delicious. Water cress may be used in
place Of lettuce or lettuce and the cress
with just the salad dressing are good.
Cream cheese mixed with salad dressing
and put between bread makes dainty
salad sandwich. The cheese may also,
have chopped nuts or chopped olives
mixed with it. Salad sandwiches of
chicken, salmon, cabbage or anything
else are very appetizing. Chopped
pickles, meat Of any kind, tongue
mixed with pickle or salad dressing are
tasty. Smoked fish makes good sand
witch used with brown bread. For
sweet sandwiches use any kind OF jam
or preserve between the white bread
Preserved ginger or orange marmalade
are also very good in sandwiches.

The marquis Of Anglesey has been
paying Miss Hartman great deal of at
tention and danced no less than five
times with her at Lady Lichfeld $ ball
last week. Lady Moncrieffe might have
objected had it been anybody else; But
then the marquis is quite the greatest
parti in England, having an income of
from $4,000 to 81 100000. So desirable
a match is he that were he to wait a few
years longer he would be welcome to
one of the two daughters of the prin-
cess royal, the kings eldest daughter.
Pretty Princess "Pat' of Connaught
prefers him to the crown prince Of Por-
tugal, and were he to pop the ques-
ton there seems every reason to believe
he would be ''accepted.' Now if Miss
Hartman walks off from royalty with
this great parti there will be weeping
and wailing and crashing of teeth in
Mayfair and Belgravia.
Lord Anglesey, as most people know,
succeeded his eccentric cousin a year or
so ago, and until that date had extreme
~ limited means. The previous mar
quis ran thru everything he possessed
which was not entailed, but that por-
ton is so enormous that it returns the
income stated above.

Shoes and Stockings

TOCKINGS form an important part
- Of one g costume. Many women
S always wear silk, day and eve
ming, summer and winter, while others,
equally well off, use silk at night, but
prefer Isle thread or fine cashmere for
day wear in summer and winter. There
is said to be nothing better in cold
weather than stockings Of softest wool,
with openwork fronts in the same color.
Needless to say, black stockings must
be worn with black shoes and boots,

Special Correspondents of The. Journal.

SpooA"A correspondence VI 4Ae,
II ONDON, Feb. 2S.-When an Ameri.
can girl comes out here, her prog
ress depends great deal on the
sort of chaperon she has. 1t has been
strikingly illustrated by the success
achieved by Miss Hartman, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Archer Hartman, the latest
of Columbia's debutantes, to appear in
London. She has pretty face, and is,
Of course, reputed to be great heiress.
These things alone would ultimately
carry her far, but she would not have
come to the front anything like so fast
had she not been chaperoned by Lady
Moncrieffe, one of the cleverest and
most popular of English hostesses, who
thoroly understands the social game
from top to bottom and never plays~a
wrong card. =
Lady Moncrieffe gave ball in Miss
Harman's honor the other night.
Among the guests were the Duchess Of
Somerset, the Duchess of Wellington,
Lady Eileen Wellesley, Lady Crewe,
Georgina, Countess of Dudley, the Earl
of Granard, the Earl of Clarendon, Wis
count Royston and lot of other exalt-
ed swells.
There was a great show of diamonds
and other gems and gorgeous apparel.
Miss Hartman scored distinctly by vir-
tue Of the striking contrast she present
ed to such a general display of costly
magnifcence. She was simply dressed
in a princess gown of soft satin, hel
only jewel being a single pear-shaped
pearl on platinum chain. There was
nothing suggestive Of a big bank &C
count about her. I commend her ex
ample to other American girls who
aspire to shine socially here. The dol
lars are always taken for granted.

To Restore q Maple Floor7

I would be pleased to know how to
treat a hard maple floor that has been
scrubbed and scrubbed until all oil has
been washed off7-Housekeeper.
+
If the floor has been scrubbed and
scrubbed, it is doubtless worn and
should be scraped or planned smooth and
even. Then treat It as you would a
new floor. Give it two coats Of mix
ture Of equal parts Of linseed oil and
turpentine, combined with a japan
drier. The drier must not be omitted
or the oil will combine later with the
wax and the result will be anything but
satisfactory. After allowing the mix
ture to dry overnight, all the pores OF
the wood may be filed with one Of the
prepared filters. When the floor is
thoroly dry it is ready for the paste OF
wax and turpentine which should be ap-
piled with cloth in an even coat. Let
it dry over night and put on another
coat in the morning and when 1t is dry
polish with q weighted brush and
wooden cloth, rubbing with the grain
of the wood.

If you try to bleach it, and cannot
advise you to do so. IF your hair has
yellowish cast, put few drops of

tone from the white hair. A little blu
ing should always be poured into the
water in which gray hair is washed, or

think 9-Mr. J.
To use the French windows at all
there is very little choice in the matter
Of curtaining. You will have to put
the rods on the window sash. Fasten
the brackets as close to the edge as you
can and still enable the window to open
and close. The Arabian net, imported
or domestic, is the favorite material for
inexpensive curtains and they may be
trimmed with lace and insertion or two
tucks about an inch wide may be run
three inches from the lace edge.

An Economy Contest.

An economy contest between four
housekeepers is full Of interest. It all
came about in talking over the extrava-
gance and work connected with enter
tanning, and how the true spirit Of hos
pitality seemed to have been overlooked
in the mad rush and endeavor Of each
hostess to have little more, or things
little different in comparison with
Mrs. "So-and-So.'
Then it was agreed that each one
| would give luncheon, the cost for
the four not to exceed 81; that they
would wear wash gowns, not to ex-
| coed So in cost-that is, for the mate
rial-and they would bring their sew
ing, while one Of the four would read
aloud for an hour; each one was to
relate some current news item or relate
some interesting event. Gossip in the
strict sense Of the word was to be
tabooed. Meetings were to be held
once in two weeks. This is certainly q
step in the right direction. Let us
hope there will be more economy clubs

MOB MEMBER CONVICTED.
Leader Of Lynchcrs at Salisbury Found
Guilty and Sentenced to Fifteen
Years in Pen.

George Hall, a cotton mill opera
tive, was convicted Friday of con.
spiracy in connection with the lynch
ms of the three 1~groes 1T Sails,
burg, N. c., and given a term OF
fifteen years in the state peniten-
tiary.
The hearing of the case began when
court opened at 1880 o'clock Friday
morning. At CHS p. M, after hearing
several witnesses establishing Halls
participation in the lynching, tile
case was given to the jury. After
being out twenty minutes, verdict
Of guilty was agreed upon, and the
maximum penalty for the offence
charged was imposed by Judge B. F.
Long. Court adjourned for the day
at 7:10 p. m.
This is said to be the first conyic-
ton of the kind ever secured in the
state OF North Carolina, although
number of efforts have been maGc
to bring members of mobs to Justice
The state sprung a surprise in tho
trial when the offense against the
pr:goBar was changed from murder
10 conspiracy.
Whon the court was called to order,
lion. r. J, Kluttz announced thar
his client would contend that tbs
court was unlawful II wass argued
that the governor could not sign a
commission for such court unless
he was in the state, and it was claim
cd that he was at Atlantic City, n.
J. Mr.. Kluttz asked that subpoena
be issued for Governor Glenn, and
have him brought to court to testify.
This was done and the chief exec
utiye of the state was sworn and
questioned about his whereabouts on
the 18th Of July, the day that the
call for the court was made lie said
that he was in Atlantic City, N. J., and
in order to do what he could to pre-
vent a lynching, he wired his private
secretary to issue the commission and
sign his name to it. This he consider
ed the proper thing to do.
The objection of the defendant was
overruled and the trial proceeded.
