COMFORT IN The KITCHEN
Suggestions That Will Tighten Neces-
oary Labor.

Here are some good suggestions for
your kitchen: Have your shades and
sash curtains Of white muslin that
can be laundered. Have your rack
near the range, so that your towels
will get we'll dried after each dish
washing. A small shelf should be put
up near the stove to hold your salt
pepper box. The icebox should be re-.
moved from the stove as far as possi--
BILE, if you must have it in the kitchen.
Cover the wall back of your sink with
oil cloth, preferably white, and here.
may be hung your sink broom, shovel,
dish mop and soap shaker. The iron
ing tables that now come may be con-.
verted into a settee when not in use.
In the box or drawer may be kept the
necessary articles for ironing. The.
top may be covered with oilcloth, and
will give an extra table, A chest Of
drawers under the closets is necessary
for keeping the kitchen towels and
aprons, besides many other useful ar,
ticles. 1t is well to keep in the kitch-
en- a bottle of linseed oil and lime wa
ter, together with roll of old linen
pieces for bandages, for use in cases
of burns

METHODS IN DRYING LINEN.
The Right Way to Bring Out tho
Proper Gloss.

When hanging your linen to drv, use
two lines comparatively close and
parallel for your tablecloths and
Sheets
Throw one selvedge side cf YOUR
tablecloth over one line towaSd the
other, allowing it to hang down about
quarter of yard, and being careful
to pin it short distance from the
ends. Take the opposite of your cloth
and throw it over the other line and
pin it in the same manner.
This will form a sort of bag, and
will prevent to considerable extent
the wild blowing of the tablecloth in
windy weather.
After the table linen is thoroughlv
dried remove it from the line and pre-
pare to dampen it. A w.lisk broom is
excellent for the purpose
Table linen, in order to trtsg out the
bright gloss that makes it attractive,
should be dampened quite consider
ably.
Sprinkle the tablecloths freely, be-
ing sure that the selvedge ends or
hemstitched borders are thoroughly
damp. Roll up tightly, patting the roll
frequently to spread the dampness.

BetrothaI Rings Are Unioue

Birthstones are wonderfully popular
for engagement rings, and the gold
"Mizpah" bracelets (the kind that fas-
ten on "for keeps" and have to be
ignominiously filed off if the engage
ment is broken), are about equally
popular, the bracelets probably best
liked of all tokens for those engage
ments which must necessarily be a
matter of years, and are consequently
not announced at once.
Perhaps the prettiest of all betrothal
gifts, though, was ring-not usual
ring, by any odds, but circlet Of
diamonds, the stones set between two
mere rims of gold.
And one girl hit upon a clever way
of wearing a ring without letting it
tell the tale it usually does. The only
man had replica of his seal ring
made for her to wear on her little
finger.
A little while before the wedding,
when her engagement was made pub
lie, she put the other beautiful ring
he had given her on the important
fourth finger.
But the little-fnger ring, she said,
was the ''real' ring.

as if he might be intending to order
millinery for his sister.
To his disappointment, only the ,eld-
er milliner was there and, with some
difficulty, he made her understand
that he wished the epistle delivered
to the girl he had seen on his former
visit.
The good woman was fairly non-
plussed at first, then after moments
thought said she would deliver the
missive.
When her days work was at an
end she walked to the other end OF
town, went up a long drive leading to
fine old country house, at the door

They were the first arrivals at Mrs.

them came sundry dowagers with
heavy husbands, sporting sons and
countritied daughters.
'The Eversley's are late," remarked
Mrs. Smith. But just then the door
| opened and they were announced.
Theodore looked up with an air of
vexed inquiry. What would this girl
be like whom his sister was trying to
force down his throat?
He saw an exquisite dress, fault
less figure and-the face of his little
milliner!
Though he had not the happiness
of taking Miss Hilda Eversley in to
dinner, he sat next to her and, under
cover Of other peoples conversation,
managed to say:
.'1s it really you or is it your dou-
ble?"
Here or in Parker's shop?" was the
saucy reply.
