Clotnea.

In response to a petition from the
sailors, the secretary of the navy has
appointed committee to recommend
changes in the uniform of the men.
The sailors say that the pancake cap
which they are compelled to wear can
not be kept on the head in a high
wind, and affords no protection to the
eyes in glazing sun. The blouse,
erchief, is also charged with trouble
breeding possibilities in the wind. The
collar blows up about the head and
face, and the neckerchief gets tangled
in the hands, and is a general nuis-
ance. No protest has been made
against the flaring trousers, as the
flare makes 1t easy to roll up the legs
when the sailors scrub the decks. The
men ask for vizored cap and coat.
Whether their demands are granted
now or not some change in the sail
or's uniform is inevitable, declares the
Youths Companion. garment that

when men wore silken hose, lace-ruf
fed shirts and flowing lace cuffs with
silk or satin coats. One has only to
imagine man clad in that way walk
ing the streets of a modern city or
running a high-powered automobile to
understand why silks and satins have
gone out of fashion for mems gar
ments. That laces and silks and sat
ms are still woven and worn by wo-
men is the worlds tribute of apprecia-
ton for woman's ornamental capabili-
ties. Her usefulness is never doubted
Clothes also show the progress of

sailors is based on business reasons.

Peach Preserves.

Pare peaches and add to every
pound of fruit pound and quarter
of granulated sugar. Put In kettle

I looked up at me for a moment in dull
| surprise. Then slowly, as If a mask
had fallen over her face, an expression
of horror and insensate fury disfgured
her beauty. She rushed to the door;
she shook it frantically; she beat on
it futile blows.
What does it mean, this locked
/ door?" demanded Forbes of me once
more.
1T means that DR.. Starva, the ally
OF this woman, for some purpose of
his own, has imprisoned US here" I
answered calmly. Even you, Captain
Forbes, will not accuse me of fasten-
ing the bolt"
He turned from me in contemptuous
silence. 1T is only question of few
hours at the most" he said reassuring-
ly to Helena. "At dawn we can at
tract the attention of some one from
| the street. In the meanwhile we must
be patient"
Il am thankful that you were able
to make your way to me-" said Helena
brokenly. ct would be dreadful to be
here alone with my brother lying dead
in that ROOM"
Are we to make no effort!" de-
manded. Surely in some way"
| My words were arrested on my lips.
Madame de WARMER had abandoned
herself to her despair. AS spoke she

fixed me with glance of warning.
IF you can suggest means, am

TaIlow dip" More Used Than Ever

TailoW dip" More Used Than Ever.
The "tallow dip" Of our grandfath-
ers is no longer made of tallow, exact
ly, writes William Hard in Technical
World Magazine. 1t is made of stearic
acid, which is only one ingredient of
the tallow that grows IN the sheep and
in the steer Neither is the "tallow
dip of to-day real dip" They used
to take long wicks and dip them in
hot tallow, time after time, till the can
die had acquired the proper thickness
To-day they run hot stearic acid into
moulds and make a hundred candles
instantaneously The "tallow dip" on
the market to-day therefore would be
more accurately described if it were
called a "stearic acid mold" But
nevertheless 1t remains a tallow prod
uct. 1t is the direct lineal descendant
OF the "tallow dip" of our grandfath-
ers. And it is still so popular that
just about 130,000,000 pounds of tai

one OF the best-informed manufactur
ers Of Chicago, are consumed every
year in the candle factories of the
United States. Although gas and ker

larity to which 1t might have consid

TO PAPER A PAINTED WALL.
Homemade Solution Will Completely
: Remove the Paint.

Occasionally housekeeper wants
to paper room that has previously
had the walls painted.
This is not easily done, nor one that
is by any means cheap, if men must
be hired by the day or hour to do it.
Any enterprising woman who is will

get the paint off herself
Mix in a bucket of hot water enough
potash to make a strong solution, and
scrub the walls with stiff brush Dip

finish with dry flannel.
If the paint is very old it should be
covered with wash of three parts

IN THE LUNCH BASKET.
| Care In Preparation Of Contents Is
| Well Worth While.


If the child goes, to school so far
from home that basket lunch is nee
essary no less care should be taken
in preparing this makeshift for meal.
1t should be put up daintily, the vari-
GUS kinds Of food being neatly wrap
ped in oiled paper. To send child to
school with lunch composed of amy
old thing" arranged in a haphazard
manner is to invite all kinds of ills
to take possession of the little stom-
ach.
The first thing, of course, is to be
sure that the lunchbox or basket is alb
solutely clean. Then cut several pieces
of oiled paper. In one you may put a
number of small sandwiches Thinly
sliced whole-wheat bread, with some
sensible filling makes the best sand
wiches, but there should be enough of
them to assauge the cravings of
hunger.
In another packet place some tasty
sweet. Avoid pie assiduously, but any
cake that is not too rich and that
has only a plain icing will answer the
purpose nicely. Fruit, too, should be
added, with some crisp cookies or
ginger waters, but do not be tempted
to, insert any candy unless you chance
to have supply of absolutely pure
maple sugar.

| herself unobserved. But through our
backs had been turned from the room,
1 had seen her movement by her shad-

sun pouring in the open window
through which Captain Forbes had
made his entrance.
l clutched the arm Of the kings mes
senger; made an imperious gesture
Madame de WARMER disappearing into
the little room of the safe. With a
motion incredibly light for so heavy a
man Forbes tiptoed after her, and
watched her open the safe through
the half-closed door.
1t was only a question Of instants
before she had thrown open the door
of the safe with cry Of dismay. But
that instant suficed.
AS Forbes turned his back to me I
took swiftly from my pocket the two
packets. One envelope was plain, with
no writing on it. The other was ad-
| dressed to Sir Mortimer Brett and
bore a foreign stamp.
No word was spoken. I had but to
hold the two packets before Helena.
In an instant she had hidden in the
bosom of her dress the first packet 1
have mentioned, whose envelope was
plain; the other I returned to my
pocket
Madame de WARMER sprang to her
feet with the litheness of a tigress.
She came toward me as I stood by
