order, and when she finished the first
sheet she laid it down and took up
second, written even so.
Yes, there were two sheets. How mu-
nifcently rich must have been the writ
er, who did not have to inscribe on the
margin of one sheet all that so COM
fortably filed the second!
This amazing communication was de-
ciphered without microscope. Its
reader was not compelled to stand on
head or recline upon the floor to get
the proper perspective. She did not
have to resort to chemicals to fade
away the upper strata Of ink in order
to peruse the lower. Her mind did not
wander as she sought to comprehend
the track Of the theme, nor was her eye
observed to grow wild and CLASSY.
On the contrary, when she had pc
rused it to its neat, postseriptless end
she seemed to be still in possession Of
her reason, and to have acquired per-
fectly clear understanding of what her
friend had written about.
It was almost too wonderful to wit
ness without shedding bitter tears at
the thought that the rest of us must go
on getting the customary old kind OF
letters from the same old kind of at
fectionate friends.
Who in the name Of the long-looked-
for millennium, wrote that letter?

Young Wi,1sor s Bluff
BY c. c. Kelly.

THERE was wonderment thruout that vast financial
y institution, the 'Steenth National bank, when it
! became known that young Winsor had been
promoted to the responsible position Of assistant CASH
Ter, vice eminently capable gentleman who had
guessed wrongly as to the price Of wheat, and I'M
afterwards betaken himself to modest Sc
clusion, leaving behind him lucrative position and
quite shrinkage in the banks funds.
Of course there many candidates for the
vacancy, and when young Winsor-who had neither
entertained hopes nor made cation-recelyed IT.
and at the personal request and urgence OF old
Gotrox president Of the bank at the directors meet
ing, the wsest head among the banks employees was
unable to give reason for it.
And yet a reason there was, and good one. At
least so old Gotrox thought and so did the rest
Of the directors after he finished his talk about young
Winsor.
And thus spoke old Gotrox:
'1Of course, know well as you do that young
Winsor is the youngest employee OF the bank, but
all the he the best have for this job,
and I'll prove it to you in short order. He's clean
and straight; that's certain; he's got good head;
he's got carload Of sand in his craw; his nerve is
like plate, and he outblutf the devil and

BE YOUR OWN IAUNDREss

e., Many women who never did bit Of
washing before in their lives are this
summer doing up their embroidered
table linens and even their fine lingerie
shirtwaists, the beauty Of which, if sent
to the laundry, is often ruined.
The laundering of these fine pieces is
an art in itself, but one that any wo-
man can master if she sets her mind to
it. Before putting the articles to be
washed into the water they should be
first examined for any spots or fruit
stains. Ordinary spots should first be.
dipped in warm water then rubbed with
a BIT of CASTLE or other white soap I'M
til the mark disappears.
If there are fruit stains on the linen
boiling water poured on them within
twenty-four hours usually takes them
out. If there are rust spots, weak solu-
ton Of oxalic acid will remove all
trace Of It. Boiling water should then
be used on the spot after the acid bath
until signs Of the yellowness it causes
have entirely disappeared, for If not
thoroly rinsed the acid will eat the
threads and in a short time the ma
terial will fall to pieces.
Once the soiled and stained pieces are
.cleansed the entire garment, centerpiece
etc, should be carefully washed in luke
warm water in which there is a good
suds made from white or CASTLE soap.
Several rinsings in lukewarm water
should follow before the linen is put
to dry.
Sheer embroidered linen pieces are
not hung out to dry nowadays, but IN
stead Of this old-fashioned mothod Of
drying in the sun each article is placed
between two towels, laid out perfectly
{. fat and then folded or rolled so that
the linen does not touch itself at any
point! Then the drying process is
started. BY beating the towels with
4 the hands the water is whipped out and
absorbed by the folds. The material
i should never be allowed to get thoroly
dry before ironing or if it does then
the damp cloth should be used beneath
Z the linen, for unless this sheer fabric
9 is ironed wet it lacks the sheen that
1 gives such an appearance Of freshness
/ when properly laundered.
To iron embroidered linen the board
on which they are placed should b
!. well padded, covered with clean whit,
cloth, before the pieces are laid on
face downward, and before using tn,
| iron and until the waist or centerpiect
is DRY.
