II Is not too late to set out potted
strawberry plants.
Caulifiower heads should be tied up as

In the vegetable garden, turnips may be
sown up to the middle Of the month.
Dig the potatoes, but let them become
thoroughly dry before they are stored
away.
In cutting dahlias for decorative pur-
poses, bear in mind that they will keep

The Chinese winter radlsh can be plant
ed early In September. 1t can be pulled
before freezing weather and packed in
damp earth in the cellar. 1t is worth ex-
perimenting with.
Now is the time to take up geraniums
and other plants for winter blooming In
doors. Nasturtiums will bloom all winter
In a sunny window If the blossoms are
picked as fast as they begin to fade.
Bulbs for winter blooming, such as hya-
cinth. scilla, narcissi and cyclamens, should
be potted this month. The best soil is that
made up largely of leaf-mold and a little
sand. The pots should be put ava in a
cool cellar for a month before the bulbs
are brought to the light.-Suburban Life.

HOW TO TELL CUT GLASS.

This valuable note was given by a man
working in one Of the ~best-known glass
houses in the East: Many women have
beautiful pieces of glassware which they
think genuine cut glass, yet there are many
hundreds of pieces which are only clever
limitations, and there is only one known
means whereby even an expert can detect
the genuine from the imitation. If you
will move your fingers along the inside OF
a piece OF cut glass, you will observe that
the surface is perfectly smooth, while lit
tie i~dentations win be found in the blown
glass. This is caused by the shrinkage
of the glass after the pieces are blown.
The ~roughness Is noticeable not from looks,
but the slight i~dentations over the surface.
Heavy glass and glass with cut edges
are no Indication Of the ware being gem
uine cut glass. for 1t is now possible to
blow glass several inches thick. while the
deceptive cut edge is done with powerful
chemicals. In purchasing any cut glass,
II you will remember to carefully xamin
the inside as herein mentioned, you can
satisfy yourself that you are not paying
for something which is not genuine, and
there are more limitations on the market
than one might suppose.

ANENT EMBROIDERY HOOPS

II rings or embroidered hoops are used,
they should be frequently r~ewrapped. It
is not unusual to see hoops In the hands
/of apparently dainty women sosdirty they
are a disgrace to her cleanliness, not to
speak Of the ruinously black lines they
leave on the work.
The bess covering for hoops Is a very
thin tape about an inch wide, wound 50
that one edge Just barely laps over the
other. AS q whole bolt of tape may be
bought for a few cents, and the work Of
wrapping Is slight. there is absolutely no
excuse for dingy coverings.
The silver rings IN vogue several Yeas
ago are really not very practicable. If
wrapped they had much better be wood,
and If u~nwrapped the inevitable tarnish-
Ing. unless the greatest care is exercised,
viii leave ugly stains on delicate mate
rails.
The two parts of The embroidery hoops
should fit so tightly that a certain amount
of pressure must be exerted to fit them
together after the work Is spread on them.
Fit the work smoothly over the lower ring
before putting on the top. If there is the
slightest wrinkle, or the work says, the
effect is much worse han If no hoops were
used.

DEAC0NESS RICE'S COMING
AWAITED WITH INTEREST,

Members Of the Deaconess' Home and
those concerned in the work of the
~deaconesses are awaiting with interest the
arrival of Mrs. NJ. T. Rice, of Watertown,
N. Y, Thursday, who will come prepared
to take the superintendency of the home,
left vacant since the resignation of the
former superintendent, Miss Rebecca De-
lancey, last June.
1t is expected that a number of changes
will take place in the arranging of the
work, which will be operated OF broader
lines han ever before. Mrs, Rice Is a
graduate deaconess, and has had much ex-
perience in that line of work. She
was superintendent of the WATERFOWL
.Deaconess Home.
The appointment of a woman to fill the
place of Deaconess Aletha Watson, former
travellers aid worker for the Young
Woman's Christian Association, will be
made at an earlyfdate by the managers of
the association. 1t is not known as yet
whether Miss Watson's successor will be a
~deaeoness, but 1t is considered probable.

THE MECHANICAL
HOUSEWIFE

The busy housewife is often called upon
to do a little mechanical work herself,
and often 1t means driving a nail, remov-
ing bolts and fixing over some OF the
household machinery. Suppose the bolt on
the washing machine, or any of the screws
on the hinges, refuse to be removed, then
cover them with kerosene, leave for a
while until the oil can penetrate the
threads. and give a jolt with a hammer.
This is the method used by machinists
and never fails to bring about the desired
results. The glass stopper of perfume bot
ties can be easily removed by pouring
around the stopper a little olive oil. This
method is better than beating the bottle
and is less liable to break the stopper
when removed.

THE USE OF sALYcIL1c ACID.

The acid is used the world over as a
fruit and vegetable preservative, and there
is little doubt that it does its work in the
most pleasing manner. In canning beans
or corn only a little Is added, as the jars
are ~sealed-usually just as much as can
be held on the point of a silver knife. 1t
Is nothing more nor less than the inner
lining of willow bark. perfectly harmless
and never detected IN foods. 1t is very ex-
p~ensive. but a little goes a great way when
canning. But there Is a substitute on the
market which is a splendid preservative,
but very dangerous indeed. A physician
recently stated that he had a patient who
had been using salycilic acid for rheuma-
tism--the pure kind is very beneficial for
that purpose-but the patient was so thor
oughly poisoned with the impure kind that
he feared there was no hope of counter
acting the poison. l merely state this as
a warning to the hundreds Of women who
are using the acid. Be sure yon have the
very purest brand. or preserve your fruits
and vegetables In the old-fashioned man
ner.

1t seems to be the aim of nearly every
man and woman to get the most that
is possible in this world for the least
expenditure.
They will connive in every known
way to do" someone else in order that
they may come out ''ahead of the
game."
1t is a known fact that hundreds OF
people never miss an opportunity to
beat" the trolley and their
ways of getting ahead are i~nnunerable
Some will work the old transfer dodge
by fixing up the time punched to suit
themselves, and others will loo calmly
out of the window while the conductor
is collecting fares. pretending not to
see him. until that official has passed
them by, thinking, of course, that they
have paid their fare or else they would
have made an effort to do so.
This is only one way in which petty
dishonesty Is practised. Have you ever
seen people at the confectioner's or fruit
dealers mildly help themselves to a
dainty morsel of candy, or a luscious
grape or plum, while waiting for a pur-
chase2 Anything at all. it matters not.
so long as 1t is something they do not
have to pay fer.
While riding on a suburban car yes
terday afternoon my nearest ~neighbors
were a small boy and girl. They
chatted and talked of where they were
going, and how smart they were to be
permitted to go alone.
1--WE mustn't forget our transfers."
said the girl, for she appeared the older
of the two and seemed to know more
of the mysteries of travelling than the
boy.
South Broad street." she said, land
give me change and a transfer" she
demanded, as she handed the conductor
a sdime.
The conductor smiled at her old
fashioned cunningness and handed u
the desired transfer and the change.
Something took his attention for a
moment and he went to the other end of
the car without collecting the boys
fare. As he came through the car
again, the girl nudged the boy and
said:
''Give him your nickel"
Never mind,' whispered the boy,
maybe he won't see me and then I
can keep it,"
but he might say something to you;
you better give it to him." argued the
girl.
"You keep quiet; he won't know If
you stop talking" replied the boy a lit
tie angrily.
BY that time the -Four Corners were
reached and I had to alight, but not
without wondering greatly whether the
boy was prevailed upon to pay his
fare. No doubt that boy had heard
of the practice of such petty dishon-
esty in his home, and did not nov
the enormity of the offense or what
it might lead to. He only knew 1t was
smart to get "ahead" of someone, for
people who make use of such practices
seldom consider their offense in any
other light, and no doubt that was
the idea instilled into his little mind.
1t Is bad enough when grown people
resort to such low trickery, but when
they boast Of their doings before little
children, and lead them to believe that
there Is no harm in the action, 1t Is
nothing short of pitiful. If our own
ideals are not the highest we should at
least try to elevate the ideals of those
younger than ourselves.

JAPANESE EFFECTS.

Many Of the Japanese styles are greatly
modified. even at this early date, and the
foremost fashion workers have already
stated that the exaggerated styles will not
be worn later than the summer. and Will
be completely changed by fall. In all
t~ruthfalness the Japanese styles were lot
pretty; they were fascinating and we
adopted them just as we do a great many
odd dress ornaments. simply because OF
their popularity, but the styles were too
pronounced to be exactly pleasing. For a
time the immense Mikado sleeves adorned
the jumper suit. until today 1t is nothing
more than a mere half moon shoulder
piece. and very ~diminutive at that. The
coats with Japanese sleeves are not one
half so neat as the coat sleeves, and sell

TOILET TABLE

When the hands are sore and blisteret
wash them In fresh buttermilk and allow
It to dry on the skin, as 1t aids In whIten'
ing 1t.
A good cooling powder for perspiring fee
is composed Of four parts taleum powder
and one part boraeic acid thoroughly
mixed.
A reddish brown veil Is the best protec-
ton against the suns rays. White and
blue wells are no good whatever, since the
suns rays pass directly through them.
A simple remedy for freckles and tan:
Ten grains of borax, two ounces of lime
water, two ounces of oil Of sweet almonds.
Before going out anoint the complexion
with a good cold cream, forcing into the
pores all they will accept. Then dust the
surface with a good powder. BY doing this
and by wearing n brown or red veil sun
burn can be prevented.
The main thing to remember Is to keep
the skin clean by a warm, soapy, nightly
facial bath given with a correct complex
ion brush and to use a good cream to keep
the skin soft. so that the pores can free
themselves of dust and sebacious deposits.
Their is just one royal road to beauty,
and that is good health, To try to mold a
beautiful form on an unhealthy body is
just as futile as for an architect to build
his foundation on beds of sand. SO before
you contemplate a beauty exercise stop just
one moment and think whether you have
the physical foundation to build upon. II
you have not, II you are anemic, exhausted,
worn-out, postpone the luxury of a beauty
exercise and enjoy the necessity of physi-
cal recuperation. Then, this latter once ac-
quired, you can begin a course of beauty
building that will prove permanent.
A few drops of any good toilet water In
the last rlnslng water gives a faint sug-
gestion Of perfume to the hair that is very
refreshing.

A neat style for a little girl of 4 or . is
a dress which has a full waist which Is
made somewhat on the order Of a surplice
effect, with the ~fullness confined in mar
row pleats on the shoulders, the two fronts
crossing the same as in the back. The
skirt is gathered and Joined to the waist
with a narrow belt. The dress is neat If
made of a finely dotted blue and white
lawn. with the waist outlines, belt and
band above the skirt made of white inser-
ton. The dress is worn over a waist of
white null with shoulder puffs instead Of
elbow sleeves. 1t should also have an UNI
derwaist OF the same material, which
makes a suitable change from time to

You nave heard of many valuable ways
to clean glassware and give to the pieces
a desirable brilliancy, yet here is a method
which is a secret" and certain to give
the best results. Wash the glass pieces
and drain until dry; then coat each piece
with a mixture of half water and am
monia. When dry brush the pieces with a
soft bristle brush. Be sure and use only
the bristle brush or the polish will not
appear. This is excellent for glassware of
any kind, and makes old pieces look like
