The Professional House Cleaner am

The professional house cleaner has
for some years past been one of the
recognized factors among women work
ers. She opens the town house in the
fall or the country house in the spring:

from garnet to cellar Is in running or
der before the family comes home.
The professional cleaner may not do
any OF the manual work herself, but
she must know how 1t Is done and be
ready to direct, and 1t Is position re-

Sheets, Etc.
No housewife needs to be told that
household linen has its fashions, with
everything else. At present white Is in
great favor, trimmed with very COM
plicated and rich lace. For luncheon
the tablecloth is out Of fashion. A fine
Chinese mat is put OH the table itself,
and before each guest a round or
square serviette is laid These are
prettily trimmed or embroidered with
c0lored flowers. For large dinner par
ties white linen is in greatest favor.

OF the villain in love with girl who
loves some other fellow. The said
villain commits a crime murd rs the
heroine's father--and blames il on the
accepted lover. who. in turn. is i'm
prisoned for murder. An interesting
tramp appears ON the scene and is the
means of saving the neck of the in
nocent young FELLOW, and all ends
happily, in an exaggerated scene in a
backwood's court where a judge pre-
sides in most ludicrous and undigni-

The play is one of those happy GO

situations, and fun and comedy as a

Literature explaining the effect Of

Mysterious Lights Continue.

Authentic reports of mysterious
lights and sounds ut the abandoned
Creamon house at Wellsviow continue
to be received. Again a resident of
the neighborhood, other than the first
who reported seeing strange light
there. has seen sudden, myterious
light in the cottage. He was passing
within hundred yards of the house,
on the way to his house, when a sud
den light flashed inside the Creamon
place, and was out in an instant. Dur
ing the fall two ladies, residents of
Wellsview, were walking one Sunday
afternoon near the house, when a loud
noise was heard by one of them inside
of the place. Saying nothing about It
to her companion, the two walked on,
and by another path came again TO the
old house, when the great noise was
heard for the second time inside OF
it, this time by both of the ladies.
What's that?'' asked one of the
other. That's the same noise, re-
piled the second, THAT / heard wnen
we were here before. WHAT ex-
claimed the first, let me get away
from here The placid people of
Wellsyiew keep the even tenor of
their way along the cool, sequestered
paths of life, Notwithstanding the
mystery surrounding these sounds
and sights in their midst, but iuve-
niles of the neighborhood do not play
around that house after dark. About
year ago the aged Bohemian who
lived there alone, died there from
overworlIing himself, and the house
has been unoccupied since. The mys-
terious dwelling is in lonely place.
