WICKER FURNISHINGS.
How to Restore Again to Original
Freshness.

Restoring wicker furniture to its original
freshness is work well within the powers
of the inexperienced housewife, and the re-
suits, rule more than justify the eff
fort. A weather washed chair or table will
make a room or piazza look old and dingy,
and no time should be lost in fixing it.
All such pieces may be vanished, painted
or dyed, and with the latter stuffs good
green's and reds may be brought out.
If the articles have been previously var
nished all traces of this must be removed.
To take off such finish make strong soda
water of half a pound of sal soda to a gall
Ion of water and pour this boiling over the
wicker. Every part of the furniture must
be reached and the operation will take ten
or fifteen minutes After drying wipe over
with turpentine and again dry. The surface
is then ready for restoration"
Any kind Of enamel paint that one wishes
may be used. and 1t is better to put on two
coats thinly than thick one. Time for
drying should be given after each coat
Carriage paints as a rule are better for
this sort of work than oil mixtures The
former dry more quickly and are harder and
have an enamel finish.
Dyes which may be bought dry and pre-
pared at home are applied with brushes as
paint would be. but before using it is well
to wet the furniture a little, for a damp
surface will take the dye more evenly. Ihis

TRAGEDY OF A SNAPSHOT.
Holiday Makers Drowned at Black
pool. Near London,

LONDON, July 11.-Three persons were
drowned at Blackpool several days ago
under peculiarly sad circumstances. The
victims were Miss Dorothy Margaret Gil
lam of Worcester street, Stourbridge; J..
w. Gillian, her brother, clerk in the
Chartered Bank of India. and Ernest Tay-
lor of Highclere, to whom Miss Gillian was
engaged.
Miss Gillian was an enthusiastic amateur
photographer, and she determined to take
a picture of the rough sea, driven by the
northwest wind over the lower promenade,
on the north shore. She went at high
water to the top OF the steps which lead
down to the sands, with the object of taxi
ing photographs of the inside Of the waves,
az they curled up picturesquely to ex-
traordinary height after being driven by
the breeze and current against the base
Of the hulkng.
The hulking at this point is concave and
Is provided with flights of concrete steps
at every few yards leading to the sands.
Miss Gillian at first took her stand at the
top of one Of these flights. Had she re-
manned there 1t is probable she would have
been safe, as it is protected by iron rails.
She, went. however. some distance down
the steps to secure better picture.
The crowd on the two higher promenades
were Mortified by her foolhardiness. She
fixed her camera and was in the act of
swapping a picture when a pyramid of
and bore her away amid the shrieks of
the frantic onlookers. Her brother and
Mr.. Taylor leaped in after her almost
simultaneously without doffing a single
article of clothing. although one of them
wore a macintosh. Both made heroic eff
forts to reach Miss Gillian. but the sea
beat them back time after time. At length
Mr. Gillian reached his sister and held
her head above water for more than five
minutes until. in fact, long after life
seemed extinct. He was repeatedly struck
by the waves, but he retained his hold,
hoping against hope, it seemed. that aid
would come from his friend who however,
had failed to seize a .lifebelt which was
thrown to him, and had sunk. In the
course of few minutes Mr. Gillian rolled
over and sank.
All three bodies were afterward seen
floating by. thousands of visitors, who
quickly assembled. The bodies of the men
were several times dashed against the
sea wall, receiving injuries that caused
them to bleed freely. All three were
covered about 200 yards south Of the steps
from which they entered the water. The
bodies were terribly mangled and battered.
for the waves had hurled them time after
time against the hulking. AS the tide
receded the people on the promenade
caught occasional glimpses of the bodies
and of Miss Gillams camera and red tam
o'-shanter and of the walking sticks and
other things belonging to the victims.
which were floating close in shore. The
tragedy was accentuated by the fact that
1t was Miss Gillam's twenty-fourth birth
day.

MORTON'S HOMECOMING
By Lester ComsaocI<.


Copyrighted, 1907, by C. H. Sutcliffe
The cabman regarded Morton win
amazement as he gave his direction.
That hotel was torn down five years
ago." he said. There's twelVe-story
office building there now.
Morton named another hotel, only to
be met with fresh disappointment, and
with an important gesture he sank back
in the cab.
Il want to go to a good hotel" he
said. You know better than 1 where
1 want to CO.
The burly figure climed on the box
and presently the cab was rafting up
Broadway Listlessly Morton looked
out of the cab window and marked
the changes. 1t was like new land
with only here and there a familiar
landmark. Six years had wrought
changes as great IS those that had
been effected within his heart.
Six years before the world had SEEM
ed bright and pleasant Lucy Des-
mond had loved him and his prospects
had begun to materialize. Then had
-eeme-t he-crash. Howard Desmond
had sacrificed his daughter to save his
fortune Half a million were needed
to support his lettering ventures
Metcalf would loan the money, but not
until Lucy had become Mrs. Metcalf
had the loan been made. Ten days
later the vein had been struck in the
mine which Morton owned and he was
a millionaire almost over night For
weeks he had rallied against the fate
chat brought him fortune too late to
give him the only thing worth while
the companionship of the woman he
loved
He had tried to meet her in their
social encounters with the indifference
that convention demanded, but there
had come a night when the intoxica-
ton of the music, the heavy scent Of
flowers had been upon them. 1t had
been in the conservatory at the Clivers'
dance and for one mad moment he had
held her in his arms begging her to
elope with him.
But even as he pleaded there had
come the sense of right. He had gently
released her and had fled the place
The dawn had found him still in his
evening clothes pacing the floor OF
his apartment and as the fresh morning
air famed his flushed face he MADE his
resolution.
before the end of the week he had
disposed of all his American interests
and had gone abroad. He left no kin
behind and none know where he had
gone For six years he had roamed
three continents but always off the
Tath of the tourist. Then had come the
fierce longing for home and he had
come back
Now that he was here he was not
certain that he did not regret his
decision. All had changed, everything
reminded him that he had lost his place
in the life of the city. The stopping

his driver and followed the bellboy
into the hotel.
He found the stiffness of his room
intolerable and after vainly trying to
interest himself in the papers he threw
them aside and went or a walk. Per-
haps in the busy throng he could
shake off his memories.
Unconsciously he turned his steps in
the direction of the park and was we'll
into the shady recesses before he
realized where he was. Then he rous-
ed himself with start. 1t had been
Lucy's, favorite walk. 1t led to a lit
tie summer house just around the
curve in the path, the little summer
house where they had spent such hap
Ply afternoons before Cupid had fled
in utter rout before the onslaughts
of Mammon.
1t seemed perfectly natural that when
he had turned the curve he should see
her sitting there in the same place
where she had sat that afternoon when
she told h n of Metcalf's ultimatum.
He smiled at himself for his belief, but
the vision seemed so real that he kept
on and presently sank into the seat
beside her
The girl raised her head and smiled.
Lucy" he said wonderingly, as he
took the firm soft hand she offered
rs it really you, dear? OF course
know it isn't, but you seem so real.
You have come to me hundreds of times
before, both waking and dreaming,
but never so plainly, dear"
But suppose that l am not vision,
Jim?" she asked with smiling lips.
