ELLEN TERRY's JUBILEE

The fftieth anniversary Of Ellen
Terry s debut on the stage was notably
celebrated at His Majesty's theater in
London last week, when Miss Terry and
Beerbohm Tree appeared jointly in
The Merry Wives of Windsor The
,theater was packed. A great crowd of
people had stood outside all the after
noon waiting for the doors to open to
secure seats in the gallery Many
brought camp stools, lunch baskets anil
novels. The performance was marked
by a succession of hearty demonstra-
lions for Miss Terry.
At the close came the presentation of
the Playgoers club s silver casket and
commemoration address. Beerbohnl
Tree, still in his Falstaf makeup, re.
cited an ode Of congratulations, at the
close of which a. dove futtered down
from the flies carrying a scroll, which
was taken by a dainty fairy, who pre-
sented it to Miss Terry. The scroll con
tanned d rhymed response, having re
cited which Miss Terry shook hands
with Mr.. Tree and then, overcome with
emotion, could only say that her feel

Vision Of a Fortune
roDD sooFFIELD had one eonsoling thought. H

"ODD SCOFFIEI4D had one consoling thought. He
had several, for that matter, for he always
disposed to look on the bright side of things
But one thought often occurred to him and gave his
spirits an uplift when they did have sinking ten
dency-that there bright chances of success in
life for Todd Jr., for Willie Jim, Eudora, Emmene
and little Fred. They were all bright children-ex-
ceptionally bright, if Todd did say it himself. Todd
might have settled into pretty much Of rut and to
tell the TRUTH he hadn much hope of getting out
of it, but there in the world why the boys
should not make their mark AS for the girls they

Where Feminine Fancy Lights
CARE OF THE LINEN

In mending household linen the most
satisfactory way to do is to mend it
before it is sent to the laundry, not
when it returns, starched and ready for
use.
If thin piece or hole is observed
while the article is in use, it should be
put aside and either darned or patched
at the first opportunity
Table cloths invariably begin to wear
at the middle and in the side creases in
which they are folded. When this is
the case the edges Of one side Of the
cloth should be turned in and neatly
stitched to form hem about an inch in
width By this means the folds in the
cloth will come in fresh lines and the
place Of the OLD crease will have new
lease of life.
When cloth is removed from the
table it should be put into press and
tightly screwed down until wanted.
Ii sheet is hemstitched it should be
done at both ends. If only one end is
so worked the wear and tear will come
always in the same place, as the sheet
can only be used one way, with the
hemstitching at the top.
Once a year. it is a very good plan
to devote whole day to going over
the linen stock and to make renewals
where necessary.

THE DOG NEVER KNEW.

small terrier dog following at his heels They espied
woodchuck to which the dog gave chase, and drove
him into stone wall, where action commenced at
once Abes sympathies being with the dog he decided
to take hand and help him. So, putting himself in
position, with the above the dog, he waited for
the extraction of the chuck Soon opportunity Of
fered and Abe struck but at the time the wood
chuck gathered himself up and pulled the dog
enough for him to receive the blow and the dog
killed
For years after, in relating the story, Abe would
always add: "And tibet dog don It know to this day

A SATISFACTORY RUFFLE

If annoyed by the dust-holding quail
tiles Of the ordinary petticoat ruffe, as
well as by the rapidity with which it
wears out, try cutting the next one in
circular form. Use two yards Of yard
wide taffeta, cut two circles yard in
diameter, then cut smaller circle from
the center of each, leaving the ruffe a
foot in width. Cut open the circular
ruf1es on straight edge and join the
two pieces with feHed seams. Hem and
attach as you would any ruffe. When
the hem trays, cut it off, and rehem.
This method offers no folds and ereases
in which dust may settle, and thus pro-
longs the life Of the Detticoat.

most unadorned. Here is sketched a

blue adjoining the front facing, cuffs

extra fulness over the bust, the fulness
being then drawn down trinity into the
the back from too much plainness. The
design is excellent for home construc-
