ON TABLE
Short Work Made of Re-
 strieted District Petition

The city council made short work of the petitions to have the restricted dis trlos Of Skagway removed from Seventh avenue. The petition was laid on the table Indefinitely" with but one dis ssuting vote-that of Councilman De Serisy, who had moved that it be referred to @ committee, but got no second.
 The petitions which had been clrcu- lated by the Rev. J.W. Glenk contained the names of 98 men and more than 30 women. It represented that the re strlcted district being situated in the center of the town,is 0 menace to the morals of the school children who have to pass it regularly when on their way to and from school or to the business section of the town.
 When the petition was read Mr. De Sarisy at once made @ motion that 1t be referred to a special committee to in- vestigats and report. There was no second to ths motion and Phil Abra- hams addressed the council.
 Mir. Abrahams said that he appeared for property owners many of them uon-residents, whose interests are in various parts of the town. Be said chat 1t would be unfair to these proper ty owners to force the denizens of Seventh avenue to other localities. He said they had been restricted to that place. They were removed to that section, he said, from the alleys on Broadway and State streets, from the second stories of Broadway and Sixth avenue and from other parts of the town. He thought, after having been there, they should be permitted to re- main, and he thought that other locali- ties that had gotten free of them should be permitted t9 remain free. Mr. Abrahams also attacked the petitions, saying that It was signed largely by DOn-residsnts and nOn.taLpayers.
 Councilman Shea moved that the petitions be laid on the table indefinite Iy, and the motion carried, De Serisl voting, "NO."
 RobtFiotivs M0agursB Adopted
 The council had already adopted re- strictiye measures for the regulation of Seventh avenue. The women have been notified to keep the front doors of their places closed, the window blinds aE least half down and under no circum- stances to appear on the street except iu street attire.
 The suggestion is made now that Seventh avenue, between Broad way and State street, be closed and fenced of. Whether any attempt to do that wlll be made or not is not known.

Medallion in Eyelet

school or shop, having a limited ward
robe throughout, has worn these with
any makeshift and on any occasion.
One Of the ever-popular and easy
designs for embroidery, whether for
a hat, a shirt waist, linen collar and
cuffs. table mats or for fiouncings and
other decorations of underwear is the
daisy pattern. The flower may have
FIVE or a dozen petals, the petals may
be in the eyelet or solid, and so with
the center, but a combination of the
two forms is most effective, perhaps,
although very frequently both petals
and center are in eyelet. Medallions
are made with this pattern. and bands
with this figure, scalloped on both
edges, make very effective trimmings.
II is easy to draw these for ones self
and even to add the sprays of eyelet
leaves that are often used with them.
For dainty yokes, especially for chill
dren's garments, one of the finest
things is rows of hemstitching on
sheer lawn or linen, half an inch or
so apart, with feather stitching in the
space between. Feather-stitching
without the hemstitching is very dain-
ty, and may be done in circles of an
inch or more in diameter. such as
have been used on some of the hand
soonest of the tailored shirt waists.
But plain, solid, handsome effects
are in no way better secured than by
using the braids, especially the mar
rowest Irish. A nlght-dress trimmed
with this put on with little curls every
inch or so, is a very substantial and
good-looking garment. This braid also
lends itself to the making of the
monogram, which is so much used in
marking both mems and women's hab
erdashery. Both the narrow and the
wide Irish braids are used on mems
and boys nightshirts.

FOR THE DRESSING TABLE.
Three Articles Which May Almost Be
Called Necessities.

The fad for fancy collars and turn
overs has caused a necessity for two
new articles on the dressing table-in
fact, three, II studs and collar buttons
are worn--a long, fiat receptacle for
the turnovers, a box to hold collars
and smaller box to hold studs. The
dressing table is a most elastic piece
of furniture. Like the bookcase, II is
always full and yet can be made to
hold a little more. It's small drawers
are a boon to the woman who lacks
bureau accommodations, for, on the
whole, long, narrow compartment or
drawer is much more satisfactory
place for gloves than a glove-box,
which takes up too much space on
top, just as wells are much more con-
veniently and safely preserved folded
up and laid away than when left on
the bureau twined about roll. Too
many objects on top Of a bureau or
dressing table is a mistake, both
against good taste and comfort. They
are in the way when dressing and only
too often are not kept as immaculate
as they should be. On this account,
celluloid. china or ivory utensils are
better than silver ones, although the
latter are more effective when they
are brightly polished. If silver is used
a piece of canton flannel should be
kept near at hand so that they may be
rubbed off every morning, while once
a week they should be cleaned with
silver polish.

Martin introduced himself 10 them as

father had given him herd of young

to each of the boys. They all went 10

IN THE HOUSEHOLD
HINTS ON MANY SUBJECTS OF
INTEREST.
How Prunes Provide Their Owr
sweetenins-EffeetiVe Way to Hang
Pietures-soda and Water
Good for Kitchen Floor.

Need No Sugar.-I1ow many house
wives know that prunes require abso'
lutely no sweetening; that II they are
cooked slowly for "hours and hours"
there is sugar from them that nature
provides as a sweetening. In other
words they sweeten themselves" and
II cooked long enough are covered
with a rich syrup. without one grain
OF sugar being added to them. The
flavor is also improved by this method
of cooking them by the oftentimes
despised prune sauce becomes an en-
joyable addition TO the table.
Picture Hanging.-Too little atten.
ton is generally given to the hanging
Of pictures. They should be hung as
nearly vertical fiat against the wall
as possible. and not tipped forward
at various angles with the wall The
best effect Is given by using two hooks,
so that two vertical lines Of wire ap
pear instead OF the triangular piece
resulting when but one hook is used
The effect is more restful in a room
where the pictures are hung vertt
cally.
Kitchen Floor cleaner.-So many
people find II hard to keep their
kitchen floors in good condition that
method may help them. Wash with
soda and water. After sprinkling
about a heaping teaspoonful of soda
on any grease spots, pour boiling wa
ter over IL, then take a mop and wipe
up the whole floor. This is far more
satisfactory than scrubbing, for 1t will
take out grease spots without the use
Of "elbow grease" This will also
keep the floor snowy white as well as
clean.
Don't Use Soap.-Never use soap
when cleaning oilcloth. II fades the
colors, and the paint will soon wear
of. Ammonia should also be avoided,
because 1t gives a dull appearance
Take a clean flannel cloth and apply
warm water. The oilcloth should then
be wiped Off with a dry cloth. Skim
milk Is excellent to use, and will give
the oilcloth a gloss. II a brush is
used 1t should be soft one, but it is
better not to use any.
rubber shoes wear longer, from the
tops of old rubber shoes cut pieces the
shape of a heel. Smear these pieces
on the lining side with thick mucilage
or any sticky substance, and place in
the heels of rubbers, pressing down
firmly. These protectors prevent the
rubber from receiving the direct pres.
sure of the boot heels, and can be
renewed when they show the least
signs of wear.
Cleaning Furniture. - Furniture
needs cleaning as much as other
woodwork. 1t may be washed with
warm soapsuds. quickly wiped dry
and then rubbed with an oily cloth
A good polish is made by mixing three
parts OF linseed oil and one part OF
spirits of turpentine. Apply with a
woolen cloth, and when dry rub we'll
with a dry wooden cloth. This is
especially good polish for scratched
or marred furniture, and will restore
the color and luster to varnish.

in FINE LINGERIE
DAINTY GARMENTS THAT MAY BE
MADE AT HOME.
Fashionlng Of Appropriate Underwear
Is Something That Every Wom-
an Should Have at Her
Finger Tips.

No woman ought to be ignorant OF
the art of making the simple. pretty
things which she wears from her
cradle to her grave. Our grandmoth-
ers made. and kept on hand, under
clothing against the time of sickness
and death. But the making and hoard
ing of grave clothes was rather
lugubrious custom, which a generation
OF less somber ways of thoughts has
allowed to lapse.
II Is a rare woman who is not proud
of her collection of lingerie, and
prouder yet II she has made each
article herself. Nearly all prospective
brides attempt the manufacture of at
least one suit OF underwear, and she is
fortunate girl who has not waited
until this happy time TO learn how to
cut and make the different pieces. She
has saved herself some nervous strain,
and. If she has, like the Dutch girl,
been gathering a chest full of fine
linen of her own making. anticipating
the time of need, she is all the better
of.
Since we have adopted the French
word for underclothing. an added
necessity has been laid upon us Of
having this a little finer, better fit
ting and little daintier than of cid.
Lingerie is an unimaginable word for
a combination of coarse cloth, cheap
embroidery and careless work.
