WASHING CHINTZES.

A capital method of washing chintzes
or the ~favorite printed linens whlch are
so frequently used lin upholstery nova
DAYS, is to first lay the loose covers 10
soak in cold salt and water so as 10 set
the colors. When these have soaked
twelve hours they should be removed. the
moisture wrung out. and the covers placed
in n boiler in which a small quantity OF
bran has been boiled in water for about
five minutes. They should be well rubbed
and squeezed In the ibran-water until all
the dirt has been eliminated; when they
into salt water and left for some little
time. If this Is done carefully not a yes
tige of the color will wash ont or even
fade, and the covers will emerge from their
bath as fresh and clean as when new.

WHEN YOU ADMIRE
A GIRL IN PERU,

For a young Peruvian to be seen on the
street with a girl other Than from his i'm
mediate family. no matter how well he
might be known to her, would involve
either a marriage or coffee and pistols for
two. If you are not content with gazing,
you had best follow the custom and pur-
chase as many photographs of her as you
may desire from the stock kept on hand In
the shops. If you hesitate to pay the price
asked you as a foreigner, you must be pre-
pared to meet the indignation Of the clerk
that one of Lima's fairest daughters should
be so cheaply held. Perhaps, as the senior
desires the picture merely as souvenirs, he
would be satisfied to accept Others at lower
prices-lower because they are ostensibly
cheaper prints. But Senorita X wears a
vacnous expression, while Senorita Y
squints markedly, and so you pay twice
over for your original choice for the sake
of honoring her pretty face. And 1t is con.
sidered an honor, for a girls standing in
the community is judged by the number OF
her pictures that are sold-a sort Of con
tinuing plebiscite to decide on 1.-THE Mos

II the girl who us inclined to selishness
and who forces herself forward and com-
mands the attention of people, especially
young men, to thee entire exclusion of AL
the other girls I'M her party could only
realize how u~nbecoming such behavior is
to a young girl she would, in all prob
that she is not the only person in the
world to be considered.
A girl of just this' type was one of an
otherwise merry parity of young people
who spent several weeks in the country
together this summer. At the beginning
of the trip everybodyswas In a particularly
happy mood, and everything Indicated that
the vacation would be one long remem-
bered for the good times It was to con-
tain.
But alas 1t was not sto be all sunshine
for these jolly girls.
The aggressive girl was among them,
and 1t was not long before she began to
make things unpleasant for the rest. II
a ride was proposed. she Immediately en-
tered a protest, and the plea that the
country roads were entirely too dusty, and
she was not going to get her clothes
ruined" just as If the clothes of every one
else in the party would not suffer as much
rs leIS. ODG IlQe, WHICH pfOnth1ca " bC
an altogether jolly affair, was finally
abandoned because of this girls grum-
bling and because the Others were far too
agreeable at that stage of the vacation to
break up the parry.
When riding or sailing was INDUCED In
the best seat in the carry all or boat was
claimed by the selfish girl, and woe be
unto the one who occupied the coveted
place ahead of her, which was seldom the
poca lMhar, IL fhn Aranon = ne fho canfla-
men of the party she would sulk and pout
If she did not have the attention of at
least two or three and she was not at all
too bashful to lecture one Of them when
she thought he was not paying sufficient
attention to her. a man on whom she had
not the least claim.
Her domineering tone and manners were
excused at the start, for the rest of the
party remembered that she was younger
than the others and attributed her rude
ness and bad manners to her lack of ex-
perlence.
But the time came when even this would
not excuse her o~verbearing attitude. The
Oldest girl in the party reminded her that
she was only lone" In the Crowd and
could not expect the rest to bow to her
will and humor her selfish whims. Hot
words followed and strained relations ex-
listed between the two until the end of the
vacation.
Instead of realizing that she was the one
to cause the disturbance, this girl really
considers herself the injured party. She
does not dream that her conduct caused
the rift in the lute' or that she furnished
all the unpleasant features to the other
wise eongenial party.

and who can not stand seeing other girls
receive some of the admiration they covet,

They should learn to forget themselves
to some extent, for 1t Is only those who
remember the comforts of others who are
loved in this world, and who are sought
