Where Feminine Fancy Lights
NEVER STARCH LINEN

Linen should never be starched. 1t is
a common mistake that many house
keepers make, but nothing so detracts
from the appearance and life Of good
linen as starch. Some women imagine
that everything that goes thru the
laundry should be bathed in starch. One
fail natron is said to have starched her
handkerchiefs.
Perhaps there is some stuff that mas
querades under the name of linen that
one has to fortify with certain starch
ness, but the genuine linens, never. One
should be careful to rinse the piece
thoroly in good, clean water and thes
give it plenty of light and air. 1t
should be ironed damp so as to get the
fine sheen characteristic of well-laund.
cred linens. IF linen is ironed dry OF
nearly so it gets fuzzy.
It pays to take abundant time and
pains in the laundering of table linen
For nothing except perhaps fine horse
responds with equal rapidity to good
handling There is sheen and gloss
and a general well-groomed appearance
to properly Numbered linens that is un;
mistakable.
No linen will become yellow when
packed away if It is rough dried before
hand. It must have no starch in it and
should be folded without ironing. II
this condition it may be kept for years
without showing the least sign of de
crepitude.

Heated, the cotton makes an excellent
pad to ease severe pain, where the
weight of a bag would be irritating.
It is also a superior dressing, as it is
absolutely free from all impurities and
has the extra advantage of absorbing
moisture from the skin. The plaster
will hold together a cut or keep a
bandage in place, and the oil-silk may
be used to cover hot applications to
keep the heat in and prevent the moist
ure from spreading.
A good supply of old flannel is a
positive luxury. It is, however, yell
to remember that it should always be
boiled before being admitted to the
supply chest. Canton flannel, which is
soft and holds the heat well, will
serve where old flannel cannot be OBJ
tanned.
Old table linen makes the most use
full sort Of pieces for plaster, ETC., and
old sheets are equally valuable. They
may be torn in wide strips and folded
away. Sheets are, however, best torn
in three-inch-wide strips for bandages
each strip being rolled up as tight as
possible and pinned.

THE EMERGENCY CLOSET

A supply drawer containing band
ages. plasters and other necessarles, IN
case Of sudden illness or accident, IS
as great household convenience as
the medicine chest.
The drawer or shelf that is to hold
the emergency supplies should be near
the medicine chest, and it is most inn
portant that it should always be in
order.
The nature of the supplies must de-
pend somewhat upon the needs Of the
family. IF there are many children,
with their various childish aches and
pains, the closet should hold a gener-
Gus supply of old muslin for plasters
as well as a roll of flannel for hot ap-
plications.
Where there is band of turbulent
boys to be considered, bandages galore
will be required and surgical plaster
for the many cuts and wounds.
For general home supplies, first in
Importance is the hot-water bag. 1t
is well to have two of these useful ar.
ticles, large one holding two quarts
and a small one holding pint Of water
The smaller size is much better to use
about the face and neck.
The closet should also contain one
two-ounce package of absorbent cot
ton, one roll of one-inch wide surgical
plaster and one-half yard Of oil-silk

"A Business Ghost

I T WAS IL o'clock dreary night. Thru hum
dred chinks in the old walls of Beakleigh Towers
the wind shrieked dismay. 1t was the night
in the year when, it wasrumored the countryside,
the ancestral ghost appeared the regnng duke and
revealed some dreadful secret of his family
And the young duke Of Beakleigh sat waiting
for it.
Not that he was frightened. He was too much
occupied for that For this was the last night of his
ownership of Bleakleigh Towers. All lost The
duca income had shrunk to mere 5O0AU0 year. The
hundred thousand necessary for the annual upkeep of
the casethe painting and upholsterng essential for
the barest comforts of fecould longer be spared
The stud of motor had been cut down to twenty
Retainers had been dismissed by one until but
sixty hung mournfully about the estate.
The ghost came: He groaned, he growled, he
shrieked, he waved his arms. But the blase duke
looked coolly on
We'll, if you refuse to go mad or turn your hair
white, it leaves hardly anything to do'' said the
apparition. ssI've been avoided so much by every
one, I've lost all my small talk

They're SO horribly common Why, Giles the

KEEP YOUR TEMPER


1t is in making the home a comfort
and pleasure that the real skill in
housekeeping may be exercised. ig
A good housekeeper must. not only,
know how to make plans for her work,
but she must also know how to change
her plans easily, or even do away with
them altogether for time, if it seems
best. = ~
No housewife can hope to have a
pleasant home for her family, or be
herself anything but a careworn
woman, who does not always provide
for the unexpected, and one Of the i'm
portant provisions is to always keep
her temper.
If the unexpected happens, and it is
continually happening in all active and
hospitable households, meet it without
any fretfulness, and it will not be half
SO difficult to deal with.
One of the secrets of being able to
have one s plans frustrated without any
serious Inconvenience is in being be-
forehand.. Never allow work to accu-
mulate if it is possible to do it.
Keep everything in such order that a
little neglect will not show.
And yet even here one may become
slave to being beforehand, and so
rush into the other extreme. But one
will be safe if she try to do work
ahead of time only when it may be
done easily, and at such convenient
times that. it will hardly seem to. be

What the Market .Amords

Make a batter as for fritters. One
egg, two tablespoonful of milk or
cream with salt and flour, or bread
crumbs enough to thicken will be suffi-
cient for six steaks. Dip each slice Of
cod in this batter and fry in skillet
of hot lard, turning each piece once.
The fish is perfectly cooked when the
meat looks white and faky. Turn and
lift with a cake litter in order not to
break the steaks, which should be
round and puffy and evenly Drowned
when served. Lay on hot dish gar
nished with slices of lemon, and sprin-
kle with minced parsley. Serve with
this potato balls, or if you have a
pastry tube, further augment your gar
nish with circle of the creamed po-
tato
By cutting old potatoes into small
balls, allowing them to soak for three
or four hours in cold-water, then boil
ing in cold sailed water and serving
with cream sauce, good substitute for
new potatoes is obtained.

DREssMAKERs, sUPERsr1r1oNs

= = =
There seems to be rooted convic-
ton among dressmakers that if dress
is sent home with even one basting-
thread left in it by mistake it will
surely be returned for alterations. In
some establishments it is also believed
that putting "a black pin instead of a
white one in dress will surely cause
its return. If the maker of wedding
dress pTicks her finger, SO as to draw
blood while sewing on it, it is a bad
omen for the bride.
Such superstitions die hard and are
akin to the saying that if the petit
coat comes below the dress the wearer
loves her father better than her mother,
and if an undergarment is inadvertent-
~ put on wrong side out and worn
SO thru the day it will bring good luck
to the wearer. One may not really be-
lieve such things, but still their repe-
tition keeps them alive and passes them
on to the younger generation.

PLATT's LITTLE BAG OF DOLLARS

T HE stepdaughter of Senator Platt, of New York,
was married short time ago. The senator wanted
to give her, of his presents, ST 900 in gold.
He asked his secretary to go to the treasury and
get $1,000 newly minted and never used. The gold
was obtained and placed in bag, tied with ribbon
and sent to the capitol.
The senator was in his seat when the gold arrived.
It was sent in to him by page. He examined the
bag, tossed it back and forth in his hands few
moments and then let it drop to the floor thinking
to pick it up at
Something interrupted him, he forgot all about il
and went to his apartment. A few moments after
Mr. Patt left his secretary found the gold and put it
in the safe in the senator IS committee He knew
the senator would ask about it sooner later
Next morning at O'Clock the secretary's telephone
bell rang. He got up sleepiy and answered the call

MILLIONAIRE ExTRAvAGANCE.

y OLA, in his youth, before fame came to him. wrote
Il some stories about milonaires wherein it seemed
to him that he exaggerated shamefully in his descrp
tons of the costly homes and habits of the rich But
later on, when lola became friend of mionaires,
he found that his accounts of their extravaganza had
fallen far short Of the truth
In the way, stories about the extravaganza of
American millionaires that sound like exaggerations,
may also fall short Of the truth Here for instance
facts that interior decorator Of New York
supplied the other day They sound extreme, but let
lola be remembered:

columns at Pompeii Finding he could only eight
Of the columns he had the remaining four destroyed,

He had paid 5000 apiece. ~
