SUGGESTIONS FOR HOUSEWIFE

An excellent idea is to connect 9
spring to the refrigerator door, thus
keeping it always cold, as children are
often negligent in this regard.

When washing black stockings take
care that fresh water be used, both
for washing and rinsing, and thus
avoid having the stockings covered
with lint, which is sometimes the case
when they are washed in the same wa
ter used for white clothes
Light cotton dress goods hold their
color better when washed in this way:
Four quarts of boiled starch are made
Half of this is put into two pailfuls OF
soft warm water and the goods
washed until clean. Add water to the
remaining half of the starch and rinse
Dry and iron on the wrong side.
Here is way to remove a grease
spot, which answers excellently: First
place double thickness of blottine
paper on an ironing board Lay the
material on this and sponge well with
benzine. Now put two more thick

SO don't do this near a fire or light
and see that your fatiron isn't at

To tidy housewife a gravel walk
is often an annoyance Unless it is
continually looked after it will get
untidy and then it does look so for
lorn. In France the practical natives
have invented preparation with
which they freely water gravel paths
and roads and thus save much work
and many backache. Here is the
rule for it: Ten gallons of water, 20
pounds of lime, two pounds Of -four
of sulphur. Boil all together in an
iron kettle. When cold pour off the
clear part and use on the walks, being
very careful not to get any of the mix

Giraffes STOP yTramc.

There has been a temporary inter

similar Interruptions have occurred.

THE SHIRT-WAIST GIRL.
She Is More Charming Than Ever This
Year with Her Various Lin
gerie Blouses.

The shirtwaist girl bids fair to be a
very charming parsonage this summer.
Never was the odd washable blouse
more beautiful, more exquisitely made
or showed more possibilities for that
distinctive quality called style. Never,
too, 1t must be admitted, was it more
expensive, for the really elegant thing
is handmade and exquisitely embroid-
cred. White takes precedence over
color, as usual, for sheer elegance, and
the imported bodices have naturally
first place.
Magnificent as are the best of these
bod1ces, the general effect of them is
yet one OF extreme simplicity. Hand.
kerchief linen Of sheer and most
delicate quality is the prime material
and into this soft and yet durable web
rich laces are inserated between ef-
fective bits of needlework.
Other materials which figure in the
prettiest of the white blouses are plain
null, embroidered SwissS batiste, dim.
lty, etc. The model of the hour, as far
as simplicity goes, is infantile in es.
sence. A slightly gathered blouse but
toned at the back, with elbow sleeves,
and a high unlined stock, is the form
favored. The full, short puff of the
sleeves is very coquettish, the various
trimmings used being always put on
IN some charming way at the bottom.
The elbow sleeves may even be trimmed
over the entire length, if the model is
specially dressy one, and with Irish
lace and embroidery narrow Valen.
ciennes will provide the finishing
touch.
With the handsomest coat gowns in
cloth, yelling or silk, these lingerie
waists will be worn, and to accord
with the tailor genre of the costume
there is now new style of collar for
some OF the blouses. This is stiff
turnover OF plain or embroidered linen
which fastens with manish tie of
fine Swiss trimmed with narrow Val
enclennes, but in this case the waist
is generally colored.
Apropos of color, there are some
very charming shirts or more tailor
genre in straw, old-rose and blue linen
These are provided for black gowns
and a very smart wrinkle, if the ma
terial can be had, is to have the wide
girdle in the same material. Some
imported shirts seen had wide match
ing belts, even the huge, square buckle
of the front being covered with the
linen. The collars of these were all

How to Brush the Hair.

There is a right and wrong way of
brushing the hair, as there is of doing
everything else. First, part down the
center above the forehead, and give it
20 brisk strokes on either side. Di-
vide it down the back, and repeat the
same process. Next brush it back
from the ears, giving it always the 20
strokes. Persevere with this treat
ment, and your hair will soon become
soft and glossy and repay the trouble
taken with It.

the reptile measured at least rs feet.
The first thing Mr.. Johnston taught
his unusual scholar was to eat at the
table with the family, and the nigh

was astonishing. Its sense of nu-

as much as any member of the family.

bat its eyes with great rapidity, and
its whole body would shake with

Another little trick the snake was
taught to perform was that of going
after the COWS. Mr.. Johnston kept
no dogs, and for this reason taught his
reptile pet to look after this chore
In performing this duty the snake
brought its hoop snake blood aad

after finishing this performance the
snake would crawl up to it's master

off to the house for it's supper.

its masters legs, it would nestle it's
head in Mr.. Johnston's heavy beard,
and the two would sleep as peacefully
as two kittens.
This snake is dead now. The end
came in very peculiar manner, but
it was also tragic. 1t was rompine

a year ago. Forming itself in the

rolling it about, when, with great
bound, it darted off from them in
playful manner. While speeding with
great velocity it crashed into an an.

held in its mouth, was forced down
