this factory they are now employing
about so hands. and their payroll

room here. or elsewhere. They want
room for rs to $50 more hands. which

present. Here is Il real vital question
to consider. Let every man WHO h;,,

Cassnndra's Gown Was Somewhat
Gay, but 1t Wasn't a First
Funeral.

Mrs. Lang, busy at her desk, became
aware of the swishing of silken skirts
along the corridor without, followed by
a light tap on the casing of the open
door. She looked up to see her colorel
maid, Almena, smiling coyly on the
threshold, relates Youths Companion.
AS she met her mistress eye she re-
volved slowly on her high heels as on
pivot, to allow her costume to be in
spected. It was Of black silk with a
pattern of purple pansies- rather large
panies the conspicuousness of which,
in fact, had fastened it's bestowal upon
Almena-and the effect of them was
now EXCHANGED by the addition of a
deep girdle Of purple velvet, numerous
bands and bows Of purple ribbon, and
a large hat made of purple violets.
Every becoming" said Mrs. Lang,
approvingly, land very festive. 1t
made over capitally, and it fits you like

pleased with the compliment. "Ain'

"A funeral-Cassandra Jones!" ex-
claimed Mrs. Lang. "Why, I thought
Cassandra lost her husband over

1T surely u.s." agreed Mrs. Lang;
and she added, cautiously, Don't you
think perhaps she would understand
better how much sympathy you feel
for her tiff your dress-if you
changed to something little quieter?
Truly, Almena. that rev gown does

Washtubs and Washtubs

"What would our foremothers have
thought" said Mrs. Flatdweller, "or
those of them that on wash days
went out to the wash bench and put
on it two big round wooden wash
tubs, one to be filled with cold water
carried to it from the pump, and the
other. with hot water carried from
the stove, while in one of these tubs
was placed a wooden washboard on
which to do the scrubbing, and fin
ally the tubs had to be carried out
into the yard to be emptied-
would our foremothers have thought,
say, If they could have seen the
modern set washtubs of porcelain, set
side by side, each supplied with cold
and with hot water to be had at will
by the turning of faucet, and to be
emptied by the pulling of a plug,
while in the inner conveniently slop-
ing front of one, and without any
legs for the clothes in the tub to get
tangled around, were moulded the
corrugations Of porcelain wash
board!

things, but probably never of this"
