A READER OF THE EVENING STAR.
You will find it. rather delicate work
to clean white velvet and 1 would advise
you to take your hat to a professional
cleaner. If it is not badly seiled you might
sprinkle the parts thickly with French
chalk. which you may procure at the drug
store. Cover yJur hat with tissue paper
and place 1t in a box where It will be free
from dust. After tw~enty-four hours brush
out the chalk and the solled places may
disappear. This has been used with sue
cess when the soil was rot very great.

Do Al Things wen.

Emerson says There is always a
best way Of doing things, If it be but
to boil an egg"
It is a good proverb and one which
we might take to heart, so many peo-
pie are satisfied to do a thing any old
way so 1t is done, but the right way is
the best way after all, and the sooner
we bring ourselves to a better realiza-
ton of the fact so much more valuable
will we be to ourselves and others as
well.
There is nothing we attempt which
we should not try to make perfect,
even If it be some homely duty such as
washing dishes or preparing vegetables,
or the most delicate embroidery or
needlework. We should consider each
worth while.

THE QUICKEST WAY
TO CURL THE HAIR.

To curl hear quickly by artificial means
1t must be thoroughly clean and free from
oils. Then part the hair, rup a damp, not
wet, comb through it and ron on pieces of
rolled newspaper. The paper must be q
perfect cylinder, not fiat, and the hair very
loosely rolled over 1t and the points pinned
together. 1t will be sufficiently curled to
dress in half ar hour. The secret is to
merely dampen the hair. Many make 1t too

NEW E SETS.

For the cottage, bungalow or den, are
beautiful pieces of greenish pottery in
three-piece tea sets, with teapot, sugar bowl
and creamer, a squatty-looking set with
broad base and sloping sides and angular
handles. Some of the sets are extremely
plain, without any decoration at all, though
some show outlines OF real silver bands.

TOILET SOAP.

A good soap, which keeps the skin in
good condition. is made with CASTLE soap
and t~incture OF benEoin. Melt the cake of
soap in boiling water until It is a thick
paste. then add a gill Of benzoin which
has been cut with purest alcohol. This
mixture can be kept in a metal sealed jar
and is excellent for the face and hands. II
one has a very dry skin, this preparation
should not be used, for the benzoin has a
tendency to dry the skin.

The Girl in the Home.

Speaking Of homely duties, isn't it a
pity that so few girls take any inter-
est in the mysteries of h work of
the kitchen, or the management of the
home. Have you not met girls, who, If
necessity demanded 1t would not know
how to broil a chop, to say nothing CT
being unable to cook a dinner. To be
sure this is not a common condition,
but it happens too often to reflect any
great credit on woman.
Even If a girl is employed during
the day she should consider it a solemn
duty to learn how to prepare a meal
and manag the home. 1t a be &C
complished out Of business hours, and
one never knows when n will be
called upon to perform the duties that
generally fall to the mother of the

One Of the few advantages Of increas-

advise a man of 50, unless it might be his
wife, in which case he would not listen to
her, while the person who would think OF
advising a woman of 40 does not exist

pot that used to sit on the shelf with the
tin coffee box, for the fashionable electric
percolator has taken Its place. The old
tin coffee pot usually sat on an iron stand

own little copper or silver platter. and the
coffee is placed in a meshed receptacle and

an electric apparatus placed under the

WILL Br SETTLED RIGHT.

lHcrc Is powerful, OItquotcu
and familiar axiom. "vox populi,
vox Del" "the voice of the peo-
pie is the voice of God" that is
distinctly applicable ito the
American people. They are the
source of all power. They govern
themselves. They make and de-
throne their rulers. They fashion
pubic opinion, because their wills
are sovereign.
Public opinion when crystalized
is all potent. Under the method
now coming in vogue-the pri-
mary-every individual voter is a
sovereign in his own right. He
cannot be misrepresented. He
delegates his power to no man or
set of men. He is the arbiter of
his free will. He is a freeman
and his decision is all powerful.
When public opinion reaches
that attitude that demands and
enforces clean methods, honest
dealings. the suppression OF pub
lie robbery and public graft. then
and not until then will a huge and
irresistible wave of revolution in
the shape of reform sweep over
this land from ocean to ocean.
from the lakes to the gulf of
Mexico.
The movement has already
been inaugurated. 1t will gain
resistless momentum as time
lapses until freedom will not be
byword. the scott and scorn of the
sons of liberty. but a potent
factor in all public affairs and
functions.
Under the caption that heads
this article, the New Orleans
Item. in noting the healthy revo-
luton in public sentiment says:
Public opinion is going to
play more direct and important
part in the future than it has
played in the past. Ever since
the campaign of 1896. the people
have been gaining information on
their affairs. For a while. during

House. the country seemed
money-mad. but accompanying
the hollow mockery of a CAM
paign made by Parker for the
presidency and following that.
the attention of the people |
became focused on popular ills
and abuses.
They don't demand reform
because they are starving, because
they are pinched. But they de-
maud it because it is American
and right. They are going to get
fair railroad rates. fair street car.

water rates; they are going to
have their cities honestly and

ouS"out TIC icnBtH Anu
breadth of this land, the hideous
account of the forcible debauch-
cry. the outrages perpetrated
upon helpless women and inno-
cent girls in New York City.
Several perpetrators of these
worse than savage deeds were
arrested and brought before the
bar of justice.
Now. mark the sequel of these
atrocious offenses! Three, six.
and twelve months Imprisonment!
Little wonder that a premium is
thus offered these barbarian and
heather perverts to defy every
law, human and divine and brave
the edicts of outraged justice!
What conception have these
Puritanical interpreters of law:
these righteous judges" of high
moral ideas" of the inviolate
purity of women and the virtue
of girlsf Out upon such inter
pretations of the sanctity and
inviolability of American homes
and American womanhood!
Why, Caligula with all his
bloodthirsty and cruel pro-
pensities. or Nero who gloated
over the destruction of burning
Rome, while he sang his. ribald
songs, would scarce sanction such
atrocities perpetrated amid scenes
of peace and in the glow of
civilizations highest and purest
ideals.
OF such a miscarriage of justice
is born the spirit of mobocracy
andthe result is lynch law. Far
better the latter-swift. merciless
and unyielding-than that mock
cry of law that incites to
diabolism and throws down every
barrier of safety that surrounds
the fair women and innocent girl
hood of this land.
Thank God, the lofty ideal due
to Southern maidenhood. wom-
anhood and helpless childhood
is erected. on a standard SO high,
so pure, so inviolate, that no
ruffianly brute or beastial mon
strosity OF the human race dare
step within the charmed circle
that surrounds them. without
feeling the swift descent of the
Damocles sword that guards their
purity and virtue.
The promoters of this spirit of
in New York city must |
need pirate of the sanctity of the
law! They must needs issue their
pronunciamentoes agairst the
Southern method, the Western
method. nay. the unwritten law of
civilization that swiftly Furnishes,
not encourages, this spirit of
inspeakable and understandable
brutality.
II is just such mockeries of
ustice such as has been shown in
he courts of New York. that
this criminality: that
liscredits, all law; that invites the
mob spirit; that sows the wind
nd reaps the whirlwind.
We stand for law, order, pro-
ection. but if public sentiment in
