a BRIGHT. FrothY Tragedy.

what I want" Francis Wilson
told an amateur dramatist, is a
bright, ffothy tragedy-something
crisp and snappy"
How do you mean?" asked the
would-be author, slightly puzzled.
"Can you give me an idea?"
ooh, yes" said Wilson. Here's
one. Just a little thing in one act,
you know.
when the curtain goes up two
persons are discovered on sofa,
one a pretty young woman, the other
a nice-looking young man. They en-
brace. Neither says word. Then
a door opens at the back and COM
merciaI traveller enters. He wears
an oyercoat and carries an umbrella.
You can tell at once by his manner
that he is the husband of the young
woman. At least that would be the
natural inference of every discrimi-
mating playgoer.
The husband takes off his coat,
draws a revolver, and in the midst
of the silent embrace Of hero and
heroine, fires.
"The young woman falls dead.
''He fires again. The young man
falls dead.
''Then the murderer comes for
ward, puts on a pair Of eyeglasses.
and proceeds to contemplate his san
culinary work.
"'Great heavens!' he exclaims, I
ain on the wrong floor Under the
Spreading Chestnut Tree, in Every
bOdy's.

A DAINTY BEDsPREAD.

The housekeepers who have grown
tired of the all-white bed can get q
pleasing variety in the stamped inn
ported counterpanes which may be
bought this season at surprisingly
reasonable prices.
One seen the other day was a
charming copy of an old-tlme en-
broidered bedspread, with broad
and graceful border of wild rose an
ranged so it came we'll up on this
bed. The coloring was exquisite and
the printing so artistic that it was
hard to believe that the cover cost
less than two dollars.
These printed bedspreads are very
attractive for the room of a young
girl, especially If the coloring of ths
hanglngs and wall paper are repeat

curly head and a pleasant chat fol-
lowed between the two girls. Kath-
crimes curls were her most pleasant
feature, just as Minerals nose had
been her most unpleasant They were
long and yellow, and no doubt looked
so pretty in the golden sunshine that
some mischievous fairy could not re-
sist the temptation to play a trick.
What this was Katherine did not dis
cover until the good by" of her
friend had died away in the distance.
Down came the window and Kath-
crime turned to pick up her book and
learn what had happened further
in the life of the prince. She had
not turned more than a few inches
when she discovered that she, like
him, was prisoner even as he had
been. Her longest curl had caught
in the hinge of the shutter, and the
tightly closed window made her
doubly prisoner.
What shall do?" cried the terri
fed child. Il can't make Della hear

could move around his room, while I
get a dreadful yank every time I try
to move. This is ever so much worse
than making calls, but then mother
has often told me that we do not APP
preciate our blessings until they have
flown away If I only had bow and
arrow, or even pair of scissors;
wouldn't l cut off this curl quicker
than l could say Jack Robinson"
Patience was not one of Rather

ing that wisdom, or even what is
called common sense, was also sadly
lacking in her. Instead of doing
little quiet thinking, she worried her.
self until the tears came and finally
her head began to ache with her fran
tic efforts to free herself from the
shutter. Her whole condition was
most miserable when her mother
found her on her knees several hours
later.
When the situation was explained
to her, what do you suppose she did.
Instead of crying over the unfortun-
ate Katherine as Katherine expected
her to do, she burst into a loud and
hearty laugh. Katherine was sur
prised and hurt that mother should
show herself so unsympathetic, when
her position was cruel enough to
melt heart of stone.
''You foolish child" began her
mother. Here you have been tor
turing yourself this whole long after
noon, when all you had to do was
to raise the window, release your
hair from the shutter, when you
would have been as free as Charles
was when he found the secret pas

Katherine was in the fifth grade
at school and had always been re-

WHITENING LINEN.

Linen that has become yellow with
age, should be whitened according to
one housewife, by boiling in lather
made of a gallon of milk and a pound
of pure white soap. Put this in a
double kettle so the milk does not
scorch. Rinse through several waters
in the last of which has been put a
little blue.-New York Press.

KITCHEN AND scULLERY HINTS.

Here are some good suggestions
for your Kitchen Have your shades
and curtains of white muslin that can
be Numbered. When using your gas
stove in the summer, cover the top cf
your coal range with newspapers
which will make handy table. Have
your rack near the stove, so that your
towels will get we'll dried after each
dishWashing. A small shelf should
be put up near the stove to hold your
salt and pepper box. Cover the wall
back Of your sinK with oilcoth, pref
erably white, and here MAJ be hung
your sink broom, shovel, dish mon
and SOAP boz. In a box or drawer
may be kept the necessary articles
for ironing, says Woman's Life. The
top may be covered with oilcloth, and
will give an extra table. A chest
of drawers is useful and almost nee
essary for keeping the kitchen towels
and aprons, besides many other use
full articles. 1t is well to Keep in the
kitchen a bottle of linseed oil and
lime water together with a roll Of
old linen pieces for bandages, for use
in case of burns.
