WHERE FEMININE FANCY LIGHTS
TO WASH ORNAMENTS

The washing Of valuable china needs
to be carried out very cautiously and
carefully. A big wooden bowl, filled
with warm, not boiling, soapsuds, to
which a few drops Of household ammo
MIA have been added, should be pre-
pared, and each piece Of china washed
separately in this, using a square Of
old flannel for plain plates, ETC., and
; soft brush "a painters brush is best)
for deliberately ornamented articles.
Rinse in another wooden bowl Of clean
warm water, and dry with linen cloths.
Bronze ornaments may be washed in
the same way, but should be finally
polished with chamois leather. Some
people consider rub with rag on
which there is the least suspicion of
parafin gives bronze nice appearance,
but we do not think it necessary. Glass
should be washed in warm water that
has little. ammonia in it, but no soap,
and then rinsed in quite cold water,
says Woman's Life. Cut glass should
be washed with brush, or, if, 'elab.
orately cut and very dirty, it is rather
a good plan not to wash it at all, but
brush a paste of whiting and water
we'll into it, allowing it to dry on
thoroly, then removing it with clear
brush, and finally polishing with an ole
silk handkerchief.

FANCY WORK FOR FALL

Even centerpieces show the color in
fuence, and we have gone back to the
solid embroidery on white linen, where
the whole effect depends on the work
RS artistic sense and knowledge Of
shading. These new floral designs are
holder than formerly, and we see by
drangeas, peoples, hibiscus, azaleas, or
roses instead Of dainty Dresden flowers.
By fall there promise to be many
new ideas in colored embroidery de-
veloped in wool and floselles. The
work is German in character, the de-
signs modified art nouveau and the col
oring extremely rich in mahogany, old
blue, green, red and yellow tones,
brought out by black outline.
The stitches Of this coming work,
tho intricate in appearance, are really
adaptations Of well-known forms as
for instance, couched pineapple stitch
or much-slanted satin stitch, barred in
different color, or the satin stitch done
in three or four shades, which gives 9
woven effect, or even the old-fashioned
briar stitch with the center caught in
q contrasting color.

VISITED PAGAN TEMPLE

Beatrice Grimshaw, the young Irish
author who has been roaming around
alone in the south seas for the last two
years in search Of literary material, and
who has contributed occasionally to the
American periodicals., seems to have run
across the real thing in the way of adj
ventures. Just before she sailed from
FIJI she succeeded in slipping into a
native devil temple on Mallicollo, one
Of the New Hebrides group, an island
populated by very warlike and treach-
erous cannibal race. These temples are
Bluebeard chambers to all women, be-
ing strictly forbidden to the gentler
sex. Any native woman who broke the
law would be killed and eaten imme-
diately and no exception would prob
ably be made for white woman if
she were caught. Miss Grimshaw, how
ever, WAS lucky enough to find a tenn
pie unguarded save by one or two old
women outside. She made her way in
and saw what no woman had ever be:
fore been permitted to look at-rows of
New Hebridean mummies hanging on
the pillars of the roof; strangely carved
spears and sacred killing mallets, and
a fine collection of skulls. Afterward
she got away down to the shore unseen
and left before the natives had time tt
| find out. ... Oh.

Forcing Discards.
What the Market Affords

the work canning ordinarily entails.
Cover the bottom of the oven with a
sheet of thick asbestos, or set in
dripping pan with little warm water
and a cloth on the bottom to set the
jars on; fill sterilized jars with fruit,
packing compactly and covering with
the syrup; do not have the rubbers on
the cans, not yet the regular can tops;
tin lid may be put on temporarily
If desired; the heat of the oven should
be moderate; cook about ten minutes,
remove boiling syrup to make full, put
on rubbers and tops and seal.
Pineapples may be canned in their
own Juices without cooking. Cut in
small slices, measure and allow pound
of sugar to a pound Of fruit; place
in layers in a stone crock and leave
over night. In the morning transfe,
to glass jars and fill the jars to the tor
with the juice drawn over night; DIP
the rubbers in warm water before ad
justing, and have the tops Of the jars
sterilized; cover and seal alright
keep in dark place. A dessertspoon
full of brandy added to each quart jal
before sealing gives a delicious flavor
and adds to the certainty of the fruit Z
keeping well.

GIRLS LACK: PARTNERS

A woman's paper claims to have
found. out why there are SO few dane
ing men. The modern girl, it explains,
is so fine and so. large that those who
should be her partners cease to be
dancing men for very shame, fearing to
look ridiculous beside her.
Another paper, which has been de-
voting much attention to solving the
puzzle Of the disappearance Of the
chaperon, retorts:
There may be something in this
theory, but not, we should imagine,
very much. Is not the disappearance
of the dancing man-in SO far as he
has disappeared-due rather to the dis
appearance of the chaperon7 The
dance and the intervals between the
dances used in>the age Of more rigid
etiquet to be his principal if not his
only opportunity of 'tete-a-tete.
Since that time such diversions as
cycling, golfng and motoring have
gradually enlarged the circle of his
facilities. One motive and that very
potent one for dancing Is thus being
eliminated, and dancing tends more
and more to become the diversion OF
those only who love rapid gyration 70,

AN AFRICAN WEDDING RING

An Upper Congo tribe, known as the
Bayanzi, evidently thinks the finger
ring is not sufficient size to mark a
married woman. They weld great
brass ring upon the necks Of their
brides, and of such weight are these
signs Of servitude that the wives Of
the well-to-do often bear burden of
thirty pounds in brass turnout the rest
Of their lives. At first, these heavy
rings gall the. flesh great deal, and
cause considerable suffering, while the
weight is at all times a heavy drag,
and oftentimes menace to life, If
the wearer happens to become heshy,
Cases have been cited where women
have strangled to death from becom-
ing too stout for their wedding rings.
No woman is allowed to don one until
she has matured physically, altho, as
is usual in southern climates, the w1o-
men are considered Of age long before
they grow up in northern ATTITUDES.

GROWING WAISTS
Boston Transcript.

Reports from many sources say that
women's waists are larger than they
used to be. Physical culture, we are
told, and this seems reasonable, is re-
sponsible for the change. Golf, tennis,
swimming and almost al Of the out
door sports strengthen and develop the
muscles of the waist, so that; it is i'm
possible to get them into as small
space as they once occupied. Some few
persons, it is said, object to the new
appearance the back takes in conse.
quence, but as all common-sense folk
regard it as an indication that women
are growing healthier, the old question
"What do you care how you look il
you only feel wella" is pertinent and
polite.

Add four onions and two carrots cut
fine, a bunch Of soup greens, four
cloves, a blade of mace, a dozen pep
percorns and two scant teaspoonfuls OF
salt. Simmer an hour longer, strain and
cool. When chilled remove all grease
and pour off the clear liquid; if cloudy

with caramel. Serve icy cold, adding
one tablespoonful of sherry to each
pint. -./-.
Nutted Cheese Sandwiches-Put one
cupful of English walnut meats thru
the nut crater or chop very fine. Mash
enough sweet cream to make a paste,
gradually adding the nuts. Season with
salt and dash of cayenne. The mix
ture should be soft enough to spread
easily.
Fruit Lemonade-Mix together one
cupful each of lemon juice and the
juice of any fruit in season, such as
