Miaa Elliott Pleaaad.

The Holyoke, Mass, Transcript, in
speaking Of the "Enoch Arden" recital
which was given in that city Wednes-
day night by Professor e.. b. Story and
Ethel Elliott of Smith College, says:
ut was a rare treat There was an
audience of 500 present, and allowing
for the one hundred who may have
their emotions under absolute control.
the other hundred were swept along on
the wave Of emotion that eliminated
with the dying words of Enoch Arden.
Miss Elliott interpreted the Tennyson
lines. and Professor Story the Strauss
music with great effect. Miss Elliott
carried her audience along with much
power. She is very attractive in APP
pearance, her method simple and sin
cere, her voice low. with great car
rying power, and the impression she
gives is altogether charming. At the
close of the recital the large audience
sat perfectly still for quite a few sec
onds after the pianist and reader had
left the stage, that Of itself showing
how deeply 1t was affected by the pre-
sentation of the tragedy in verse and
music"

DANDELIoN DAY APRIL 27.
Next Saturday Appointed by City Fed-
GRAFTON of Women's Clubs.


The city federation has appointed
next Saturday, April II, as "Dandelion
Day" when everybody all over the
city, old and young, big and little, is
asked to dig dandelions. An honor
roll" will be established among the
school children, and the names Of the
ones In each grade and in each build
ing, who dig the most dandelions on
that day. will be placed thereon.
Other cities beside Marshalltown are
showing their progressiveness and
public spirit, by the celebration of
"Dandelion Day" and in recent Is
published a few dandelion recipes. as
follows:
There are several ways of working
on the dandelion. The common one is
to dig them, which leaves them In con-
diton to do service on the table as
green's Then they can be pulled bod
lily, which will remove the roots of most
Of them. What Is stated by authorities
on the subject to be sure method OF
killing them Is to drop a little gasoline
into the heart OF the plant. However.
1t Is necessary to exercise caution IN
the use of the gasoline can. A drop is
enough to kill the plant. IL 1t is care
fully placed. If too much is used it
will soak into the ground around the
dandelion plant and will be absorbed
by nearby vegetation, killing 1t also.
II gasoline Is accidentally dropped on
the grass 1t will kill 1t as quickly, or
more so. as 1t will kill the dandelions."

CARE OF TABLE LINEN.
One Great Mistake That is Made by
Some Housewives.

1t matters not how neatly one may
have the table arranged, If the table
linen Is not spotlessly white the ap-
pearance is marred by the defect.
Care must be taken of fine table linen
or 1t soon gets the yellow dip" 80
The first mistake Is made by throw
Ing the tablecloth in the laundry bag
with napkins which are damp, and
they always are when the finger bowls
are used. Each piece should be dried
and stains removed before placing 1t
away for washing. To properly wash
them they cannot be made pure and
white II placed In with other clothes.
This is warning to heed. Soak the
linen in tepid water for three-quarters
of an hour, and always wiring the
pieces by hand, for wringer creases do
not come out at times even under
heavy hot iron. Next put the clothes
In good suds, wash carefully and put
in boiler of cold water which has
nothing but borax to soften 1t. Bring
the water to boil, give the pieces a
second suds. then carefully rinse. Two
persons should stretch the long table,
cloths and place on line. hanging
them perfectly even. In ironing they
must be rather damp. Fold side to side
with one seam only. Iron perfectly dry
until q gloss appears. They must not
be starched, since good linen Is stiff
enough when properly ironed. Hang
the pieces over n rod where they hang
perfectly straight and allow to dry be-
fore they are put away. Now would
you know why it is that some women
have their table linen always looking
new? 1t is zone in folding the ironed
pieces. Boards such as are used to fold
dress goods on are what you will need.
Cover the pieces with any old muslin
and carefully roll the table cloth on
this. II the sides are too long care
! fully fold the edges toward the center.
| Put In the linen closet and when ready
/ for use you have newlooking piece
/ for the table. DO not comb fringe on
/ pieces, but use moderately stir
bristle brush for the purpose. In iron
ing monograms lay the right side
down on n Turkish towel and the let
tiers will be beautifully ironed In this
manner. which is an improvement
over the soft blanket method.

TO THE FARMER-BoY.
His Chances Are Best In His Home
Town Rather Than In the Big City.

My boy, the farm is all right. Some
times you may feel that its environs
are too narrow for you, its life too
much of humdrum, and that you
would prefer to be one of the residents
OF the big city or town. There have
been hundreds and thousands of 9th.
ers Just like you. and with just such
ideas. They have started from the
farm buoyant with hope. and after
years have regretted their youthful
resolutions. Others have succeeded;
have won laurels in the professional
field. in business, in craftsmanship;
but the few who have succeeded thus
are SO small in number compared to
the army of failures that there is lit
tie encouragement for the careful
thinker to leave that which promises
security from want and independence
for n life time. The farmer is surely
the most independent of all workers.
He is sure to receive a greater re-
ward for his labors. is his own man.

the farm affords. Hours of work may
be long riding the plow, or harvesting
the grain, but far superior is the work

city youths are compelled to follow.
and how much greater the compensa-
ton? How would you like to stand

small wages that the city clerk re-
celves? Year after year the laborer
lives in cheap boarding houses and
rarely save sufficient to engage in
business. His is mere subsistence.
