Use For the Old Straw Hat.

A dainty embroidery basket to
hang on the back Of the sewing chair
in the family sitting room can be con-
structed from a wide-brimmed sum-
mer hat that has outlived it's useful
ness as hea@gsdr.
u the straw is too badly discos-
ored to be successfully cleaned get a
ten-cent package of dye and color it
any artistic shade-burnt orange, old
rose or moss green for preference.
Then line 1t with siikoline or China
silk Of pretty contrasting tone and
sew different sized pockets of the ma
terial at intervals around the edge
these to hold the thimble, tape meas
ure, embroidery scissors. spools of
thread and other indispensables. For
handle, sew on opposite sides of the
inverted hat the two ends of a yard
of inch-wide ribbon matching the lin
ing, concealing the stitches on the
outer side with jaunty bows.
If the hat is inclined to spread
open instead of lending itself to the
basket shape. sew quarter of a yard
of ribbon straight across the opening
Immediately beneath the handle.
This will keep the basket in shape
while it will not interfere at all with
its usefulness as a receptacle for
fancy work.
The same idea can be utilized in
making duster-holders or handy
catch-alls for the bedrooms and
kitchen, the Innings in these instances
being made of any thin, inexpensive
material. For a duster-holder the
lining should be simply a straight
length of the goods, one edge being
gathered and sewn around the edge
of the hat and the other hemmed and
finished with a drawstring.-Ne

OF the axiom kind, it has grain of

mother arranges her sleeping rooms

George J. Gould is one millionaire
who isn't a process dodger. Deputy
Sheriff Jacob Baum, of Denver, had
some papers to serve on him the
-ether day, and it was only after a
long parley that the visitor clerk,
VINO was guarding the door of the
room In which Mr.. Gould and officials
of the Denver and Rio Grande were
comforting, informed Mr.. Gould that
a deputy sheriff awaited him in the
hallway.
Il am Mr., Gould. Would you like
TO see me?" asked the railroad mar
a moment later, to the deputy. They
shook hands cordially and Mr.. Baum
served the summons.
~--sI am sorry to-, have kept you
waiting" said Mr.. Gould, land much
Sobliged for your courtesy. BY the
way" he continued, this is the first
{ time / have ever been served with
legal processes in my life"
He shook hands again With the
deputy and returned to the meeting.
The suit in which Mr.. Gould was
served involves a carload of apples.
William Atwood, a Longport rancher,

Around the House.

When linoleum begins to wear,
paint the surface with good floor
varnish, allowing longer time for it
to dry in than would be the case with
wooden boards.
Skirt Innings are very apt to be-
come soiled, and it is a good plan to
go over them from time to time with
a cloth we'll wrung out in warm
water. This will remove the dust
and freshen the lining.
A kettle that is placed directly
upon the fire soon becomes coated
with SCOT and iampblack, which are
difficult to remove. To prevent this
grease the bottom of the outside of
the kettle. The black can then be
easily rubbed off with newspaper.
