To Make Linen Purse.

A white costume never is complete
now without a white linen purse or
bag. Many women who are clever
with the needle have several of these.
They are not hard to make, most OF
them being embroidered simply in
French embroidery. One pretty bag
is braided in a conventional design
on both the front and back. The braid
is narrow white braid and is to be
sewed on the machine before the bag
is made up. The bag may be mount,
ed at a jewelers., or the handles may
be formed of three strands braided,
each strand consisting of two lengths
of braid to give strength and width.
There are two rosettes of braid on
each side.

FOR
ONE OF THE GREATEST OIL TOR
SAVERS.
Practically indispensable in All Parts
of the Observation-Disclosures of Long
Standing Yield to Its
Power.

Ammonia is a great labor saver at
cleaning time, and it's uses are legion.
1t does the service of almost every
department of housekeeping as a pol
ishing and cleaning agent, is ineXpen-
sive, and is, unlike gasoline, moi ex-
plosive.
To begin with, two tablespoOnfuls
added to the bath softens the water
and adds greatly to its cleansing pow
err; it is especially to be recommended
after any rough or dusty work.
Mixed in equal quantities W n whit
ing, it makes an excellent silver pol
ish; rub it on lightly with a flannel
and polish with a dry cloth. This
will keep all the silver and electro
plate in good condition.
It is also effective for brass. nickel
and steel. Mirrors, windows and
glassware are made cleaner and
brighter with less labor if washed
with warm water and a little am
monia.
Sponges, brushes, combs and cham
OILS leather are made clean and fresh
by putting ammonia into the water
used. The secret for keeping the
feathers soft in washing them is to
leave the soap in at the last, not
to rinse it out.
Ammonia is useful for cleaning the
kitchen sink. If common sulphate OF
iron in the proportion Of M pound
in four gallons of water be poured
over the sink several times all often
sive odors will be removed.
Handicapped washstands and
tables are easily stained and soiled,
and will soon lose their high polish
and luSter unless treated with care.
After the marble has been washed the
luster can be restored by rubbing
with a soft material; a piece of felt
pose. To remove stains of long
standing from marble mix together
one gill each of sOapSuds, an oXgall
and half a gill Of turpentine; then
add enough powdered pipe clay to
make a stiff paste. Apply the mix
ture with a brush, and let it remain
on for two or three days, then wipe
it off. Repeat the operation if neces-
sary.
Turpentine gives a high polish to
tinware, and is also very useful foJ
cleaning bathtub enamel which has
become discolored. Dip a cloth in
the ~turpentine, rub the stained parts
and polish with a soft. clean cloth.

A Little Courtship Comedy.

A goodlooking, well-to-do bachelor
Of Manchester was being leased by
some young women of his acquaint-
ance for not being married. He said:
I'll marry the one of you whom on a
secret vote you elect to be my wife.
There were nine women in the com
pany. Each one went into a corner
and used great caution in preparing
her ballot and disguised her handwrit'
ing.
The result was that there were nine
votes cast, each receiving one. The
man remains a bachelor, the friend
ship is broken up, and the women, all
mortal enemies, united in the one de
termination that they will not speak tc
the man again.-The Taller.

Pillow Slips.

If both sides of a pillow slip are left
open instead of just one they will be
much easier to iron and there will be
no hard corners to turn in washing.
Both sides can be trimmed with lace

one side of each opening sew two but
tons, and on the opposite side two

over the pillow. They look so much
prettier than the usual pillow slips
that pillow shams are not needed.
