Turning Amateur
 LaundresS

~ HE dainty dressing sacques and
 long negiiges of lace and SIX
 every woman likes to own are
 charming when perfectly tresn and clean, but truly a sorry sight II allowed to get bedraggled and solieo. How to keep them always spotless is, however, something or proplehn to most women. Dry cleaning is ex- pensive and must usually be repeated very speedily. as gown soils quickly afterwards.
 Most of the silks and laces used in the modern neglige can stand the most like new. But--and there's the rub-few laundresses, unless special ists. can be trusted with these fragile garments.
 Now. as specialists. even of the washtub, are apt to be costly luxuries, many women have taken to doing up their own negliges.
 This Is not by any means as hard as it sounds. If the silk is of color liable to fade, it is well to put 1t nrst into a pail of clear water in which about cents worth of sugar of lead has been dissolved. Then make strong lather or lukewarm water and pure white soap. Dip the garment up and down in the suds again and again. but do not rub hard on a board. Any very much Solled places should be given an extra soap ing and rubbed gently with the hands.
 Hang out to dry on perfectly clean line. If the gown is of delicate color, do not put 1t in the sun; indeed. 1t is much better dried indoors.
 When still quite damp, iron on the wrong side. Have the board covered with several thicknesses of muslin and the iron only moderately hot.
 If the neglige Is trimmed with ruff fles of lace do not iron the lace, but pull it gently into shape when dry.
 A quite elaborate garment can by this method be kept looking fresh and beau tiful for a long time It takes but few hours work to do up even a very fussy neglige, and the results make 1t well worth while to turn amateur laundress.

 In lSS6 pr. Zakrzewska wrote to the Executive Committee of the Massachu- setts Emergency Association, calling at tention to the he. s of sand in the parks top t SeTn oq t,. kePs for the special care of the police. That same year three such sandboxes were placed in the parks of Boston, and today not a park, big or little. on this side of the Atlantic is without one.
 If children do not feel their sense of gratitude to this farseeing woman, mothers should, for nothing in the amusement line is quite so entertaining as to play in the sand; nor will any oc- equation keep tn tiny tots so long out of mischief.
 Sandboxes not only abound nowadays in parks, recreation piers and in every kindergarten where a few feet of ground can be secured. but many mothers have them in their own back yards for the pleasure of their little ones and their friends.
 As cats and dogs have a special pred Election for these sandpiles, it is well either to have a covered box, or tt least have an old rubber sheet to throw over the frame when not in use; This also keeps out rain and soot, which in many cities falls so heavily as 10 make the sand unfit for use in a week or two.
 The sand itself can be Dc -ght very in- eXpensively by the barrel.

A Baby's Sacque That
 Will Launder

Y ITS something of a problem to knit
 or crochet baby sacques so that the first washing need not be
 synonymous with the last.
 The styles which have yokes of close ly set stitches are best of all for the purpose, as no particular care is need ed when washing them, while almost every other sort requires to be carefully pulled and patted into shape the whole time it is drying
 For the smallest size-the 6-months' size-make chain of eighty stitches, and crochet the simple single stitch for three rows. On the fourth row, crochet twenty stitches. putting two stitches in the twentieth stitch. Then continue with the single stitch until you come to the twentieth stitch from the other end, take two stitches in it and finish the row with the single stitch.
 Widen the yoke for the shoulders by putting two stitches in the outside of each double stitch in each succeeding row.
 Nine ribs complete the yoke.
 Use three-thread wool for the yoke and two-thread for the lower part of the sacque, which is made of shells of four stitches with single chaln-stitch in the middle of each shell +. which the shell Of the next row are set.
 In s'2rting the shells, set them in every other stitch of the yoke. which makes pretty fitness when the sacque is finished At the, turn of the yoke make chain of thirty and carry it over to the other corner of the yoke.
 On the second row set shell into every other stitch of the chain. as you do in the yoke.
 Twenty-two rows of shells make the sacque the right length, and nineteen rows the sleeves, which are crocheted after the rest of the sacque is finished.
 Finish the edge all the way round with a shell, running a cord (made of the twisted wools) and tassels or a nar- row ribbon through the stitches about the neck.
 Yoke and trimmings of pale pink, with the rest of the Sacque white, make the prettiest of the combinations

 entertaining the French hostess has, ' during the present season. quite out
 classed her successes or formef years.

 Every one is asked for i've o'clock, the idea being to invite no more than about twenty guests, so that 1t is easy to in- troduce each one upon arriving. All are seated at the dining-room table, where tea, plum cake. tiny sandwiches and ment to the drawing room there is music and often an impromptu turn by one of the guests. Right here original and charming. How she elh- braced the opportunity is best told by describing a few successful teas re- gently given.
 Madame de Cellerrier, wife of the fa- nous banker, originated an idea won- derfully and exquisitely French. When her guests had reached the drawing ruseo, mistress of the opera ballet, would give dancing lesson.
 At this moment, the portieres parted and Madame de Pourtales. a celebrated French beauty, stood radiently smiling upon the other guests.
 She wore a pink satin costume. made like Spanish dancers, and regular ballet shoes; all of which was very be- coming to her exceedingly tall, slim beauty. She followed the old ballet mis- tress (who had stood beside her) re- luctantly into the room.
 It was pretty picture, this make-be- lieve lesson in ballet steps, the quaint old teacher and radiant young beauty. with her feigned ignorance and surpris- iVg celerity, for In very few min utes, she combined all the steps and gave a regular toe dance, adapted to the drawing room, of course. Whereupon it became evident that madame had spent many hours during tine winter in taking lessons at the opera.

DIR. F. POMAINVILLE
ELECTED PRESIDENT

AT the first meeting of the school
board this year, which convened at
the Superintendent's office at the
Lincoln building Saturday night,
DR.. f. X. Pomainville was elected
president of the board, Theo. Lipke
was reelected treasurer, and H. S.
Youker, was reelected superintendent
with an increase of 800 in his salary.
We believe that every citizen of Grand
Rapids is justly proud of their public
schools. They stand to the head with
the best schools in this state. This
condition has been brought about by
the selection of an able, up-to-date
educator in the person of our present
superintendent assisted by an excellent
school board who act in cooperation
with the superintendent in the selec
tion of an excellent corps of teachers
as good as there are in the state. The
people endorse their action by the
raising of sufficient school funds neceS-
sary for the carrying out of their ex.
cellent plans. The action at the last
board meeting warrants con tinuation
of our excellent school SYSTEM.

GUILD BALL A
NOTABLE EVENT
The Hall Was Crowded by Mer
rymakers and Expressions Of
Pleasure.and Satisfaction Was
Heard on Every Hand.

The ball given by the ladies of
St. Katherine's Guild, Monday
evening was a great success in
every way. Fully fifty couples
were present, and the dancing was
all that could have been expected.
The. Imperial orchestra dispensed
their best music, anc combined
with the beautiful effect of the de-
corations, the evening was passed
delightfully."- by all who were
present.
From a Japanese umbrella,
which. was suspended from the
center of the hall, red and white,
draperies were caught at either
end and side of the hall making a
complete canopy of bright colors,
the effect of which was heightened
by the brightness Of the many
electric lights. To the left of the
entrance to the hall, the refresh
ment booth was artistically ar
ranged, and to the right a dress
ing room for the men. The ticket
office was arranged for the ladies
and throughout the entire hall
couches banked with sofa pillows,
and easy chairs lent charm to the
floor arrangement.
Supper was served in the bal
cony where tables had been pre-
pared and it was a happy, smiling
lot of dancers that invaded this
section of the building between
eleven o'clock and midnight
From the expression of all those
who were present we infer that the
dance will be remembered as one
of the social successes Of this
season.
