set. Half the ladies in the city were
IN love with Mr.. Linmere. He was so
distingue, carried himself so loftily,
and yet was SO CALAMITY condescend-
ing and so inimitably fascinating. He
knew Europe like book, sang like
professor. and knew just how to hand
a lady her fan, adjust her shawl, and
take her from her carriage. Accom-
plishments which make men popular,
always.
Early in July Mr.. Trevlyn and Mar
gle. accompanied by gay party. went
down to Cape May. Mr.. Trevlyn had
long ago forsworn everything of the
kind; but since Margie Harrison had
come to reside with him he had given
up his hermit habits, and been quite
like other nice equity old gentlemen.
The parts went down on Thursday
Mr.. Paul Linmere following ON Satur-
day. Margie had hoped he would not
come; in his absence she could have
enjoyed the sojourn. but his presence
destroyed for her all the charms of sea
and sky. She grew frjgAtsRaa; some
times: wten she thought how intense
~ she hated him. And in October she

which. when burst into flowers, were to
adorn her forehead on her bridal day.
She dcspised Linmere with her whole
soul, she dreaded him inexpressibly. yet
she scarcely gave her approaching mar
riage with him a single thought. She
wondered that abe did not; when she
thought of 1t ut all, she was shocked
to find herself SO impassivc.

with the wife Of his employer, Mr.. Bel
grade. The lady was in delicate health
and had been advised to try sea air
and SURF bathing. Mr. Balgrade's busiY
ness would not allow Of his absence at
just that time. and he had shown his
confidence in his head clerk by select
ing him as his wife's escort Il

How to Pack House
hold Belongings

At this season Of the year 1t may prove
useful knowledge to many housekeepers
to know how to properly pack household
furniture, etc. Very few women under
stand how TO properly care for their
household goods when moving, and as the
services of professional packers would be
apt to prove a heavy expense, the follow
ing suggestions, If carefully followed,
will be of service.
In moving from town house to country
place or from one city to another, when
goods go by freight especial care should
be taken, and although 1t would, OF
course, be impossible to crate or box very
large, heavy pieces, such as bureaus and
sideboards, these may be wrapped in soft
paper, tied around with heavy pieces Of
twine, although the more valuable pieces
of furniture would be safer II Grated. Old
bedelothing Is also very useful for wrap
ping about the finer pieces OF furniture.
In packing goods to be stored 1t is the
general practice to use burlap for wrap
ping the furniture. This, however is not
to be recommended. as the burlap, having
coarse mesh, allows a great deal of
dust and dirt to sift through, and I'm con-
sequence the furniture is found to be
much soiled when unpacked. Instead OF
the burlap It is better to use soft paper
carefully tied about the articles.
Never place breakable pieces, such as
mirrors, pictures aud 50 on, Ia drawers or
chiffoniers as the moving men cannot see
what is In the drawers. aud so win not be

of black velvet and net.
Another very odd ruff was also made of
ring-dot net. each ruffie being bordered
by satin ribbon. On the ribbon at inter-
walls were set little satin-covered buttons,
encircled by frills of the narrowest Val
enctennes edging.
The little shoulder capes are also very
much liked, the one shown in the sketch
being made of transparent black liberty
silk, finely plated The edges of the
double cape were finished by narrow
ruches, which also trimmed the long ends
that reached below the waist. These
ruches were made of silk-gauze ribbon.
Little capes of broadcloth, usually with
a touch of black somewhere about them,
are made up on the "Carrick" lines. and
are very smart and becoming for driving
or for use in the country and at the sea-
side. One very pretty model made In the
Carrick style was Of bright cherry broad
cloth, each of the three circular capes
being finished by a stitched band Of the
same. The trimming consisted of a small
rounded collar Of black, showing scanty
touches of gold braid, the lower points
of the wrap also showing rounded tabs
of black velvet

Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-07

To many women, and especially to
those past their first youth. a boa or neck
ruff is so becoming that even after win
ter furs are laid aside boas of tulle, lace,
chiffon or feathers, such as ostrich or
marabou, are adopted. Many of these
scarfs can easily be made at home, the
two models illustrated being especially
practical, but scarfs of maribou and os-
trich feathers are also very fashionable,
and can be had In the shops at quite
moderate prices.
There are, too, some very attractive
scarfs of soft lace laid over sheer silk,
with yelling of chiffon. and bordered
by narrow line of ostrich or marlbou
or by a ruching of little frlls of lace or
silk.
For the fluffy neck ruches plain tulle
and the ring-dot net are favorite mate
rials, and, although fancy prices are
asked for these ruches in the fashionable
millinery shops and large stores, they
can be made at home at fraction Of the
expense. Such a ruche is sketched In
the drawing, the model pictured showing
n deep plated ruff of brown tulle
mounted on n stiffened silk band, and fin
ished by silk loops and bows in front.
Another very pretty model was made
OF black ring-dot net, four deep plisse
Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-07

from a model in brown taffeta silk. which
would be charming as a street Dress de-
signed to take the place of the usual coat
and skirt costume The bodice of this
costume was trimmed by a shaped band
Of the silk embroidered in silks in
several shades of brown, rose color,
dull blue and soft yellow. Inside
this embroidered piece was stitched
a fold of brown satin, this fold
also forming a point in the middle
of the front. The buttons on each side
of the bodice fronts were also covered
with the brown satin. The bodice was
laid in stitched paits at the shoulders
back and front, and the sleeves were
trimmed with a row of crosswise tucks
The cuff section of the sleeves was
trimmed with an embroidered band of
the silk, below which was fold of the
brown satin and frlll of lace.

Hints for Spring House Cleaning.
BY Beatrice Carey.

Here is an excellent recipe for cleaning
rugs, chenille plush-covered couches and
furniture etc. 4: Shave two and one-half
bars of Ivory soap fine and boil until 1t
is dissolved in one and one-half quarts
of soft water. Add half a pound Of
borax. Boil 10 minutes longer. Steep
three ounces of soap bark in one quart
of water for half an hour and strain.
Add one-fourth a pint of aqua ammonia.
put into one quart of cold water. Mix
all well together and add enough water
to make a good six gallons. Soft water
is preferred Set aside to cool and cover
to keep clean. When ready to use dust
the articles well and apply with good,
large brush, rubbing vigorously. Then
wipe with a cloth until quite dry For
doing large rugs 1t is desirable to have
two people working-one to follow up
with the dry cloth as soon as a space is
rubbed. The recipe sells for % cents,
and Is the cheapest cleaner l have ever
bought. The entire recipe can be made
for about 90 cents. 1t will be sufficient
for year.
A pretty, inexpensive, yet simple and
sanitary method of treating old or un-
slightly kitchen walls Is to, first, paper
them in the usual manner; then, when
ihOiOu6uiy NAJ1 Apply thAh NSNN-A6 VI
white varnlsh. This treatment renders
the paper impervlous to moisture, pre-
serves the colors, and is easily kept
clean. 1t Is equally good for laundry or
nursery or any room much used. Many
dollars may thus be saved, as paper thus
treated will last much longer.
If faded upholstery is to be restored
the dust must first be well beaten out.
Then with a hard brush apply a strong
lather Of Ivory soap and wash OF with
clear water The fabric should then be
washed with alum water. Upon drying
the luster will be restored to the colors
For removing scratches from furniture
pulverized pumice stone will do the work
better than anything else. 1t should be
rubbed on the surface with soft flannel
rag, wet In crude or raw linseed oil. Rub
brlskly until the scratches disappear, and
then apply llnseed oil alone until the
surface shines.
Linoleum or oileloth should never be
secured with a stiff brush or strong soap,
for the soda In the soap will erase the
pattern. Instead soft woolen cloth aud
