COMPLAINTS ABOUT PAINT.

The time to complain about paint
Is before the painter applies it. The
man who puts up the money should
not shirk the responsibility of choos-
ing the paint. True, the painter
ought to know paint better than the
banker, the professional man or the
merchant. The trouble is, the house
owner too often deliberately bars the
competent and honest painter from
the job by accepting a bid which he
ought to know would make an honest
job impossible

LenuthN Lineaue.

In Leaves from the Notebooks of
Lady Dorothy Nevill," recently edited
by Lady Dorothy's son, Mr. Ralph Ne
will, there is an amusing story of an
old peer whose considerable family
pride was agreeably tempered with
humor.
One day he was surprised to be told
by his sister that she had conceived a
great affection for a well-known al
though somewhat eccentric man of
science, who, although generally es-
teemed, was of very humble Semitic
origin. ...
Not quite determined as to what
course Of action he should take, he
sent for the prospective bridegroom
with the intention of talking matters
over. After some conversation, he
said:
And now, sir, should like to know
something about your family"
81 think" replied the other, that it
will be sufficient to say that am Of
the descent of the illustrious blood Of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob"

family has nothing to compare with
that. If my sister likes you, you had
better take her."-Youth's Compan-

or shtrt-Waist which at least suggests
the coloring of the two-piece suit.
III you intend to employ the skirt of
your travelling suit for walking expedi-
lions and general wear with shirt
waists, then by all means cling to the
plated skirt and leave the circular
cut for house dresses only.
The circular skirt. especially, if
made by home dressmaker to clear
the ground by several inches, is very
apt to sag at the seams, while there is
no excuse for this, and little chance,
IN the straight, plated skirt A slim
girl, under 20 or trifie past that age,
II she retains her gIr1ish appearance,
can wear the new skirt which clears
the ground by four inches, but no
matronly woman, or girl, whatever her
age, of opulent curves should attempt
this.
Extreme slenderness alone looks
we'll in the short skirt. And with this
must be worn the smartest of ties and
plain Isle hosiery.
The cutaway coat certainly leads all
corners for travelling, and even with
the straight front jacket, there is pref
ty sure to be a slight clipping off of
the corners. These coats all show the
long sleeve and very simple trimming,
generally braid.

The shirt-waist may match the suit
in soft surah, messaline or pongee silk,
or, if a wash waist is desired, a
striped or figured material is chosen,
with the stripe or figure matching the

With a brown suit, a pongee blouse
in natural tone is worn, or with dark
blue suit, a blue and white madras
with tie or jabot bound all the way
round with navy blue will be seen.
Some of the newest shirt-waists are in
white, trimmed with striped material
applied in the form of bias bands.
A well-gowned woman this season
does not wear the elbow sleeves in
coat or blouse when travelling. In fact,
word comes from Paris that, save on
the evening gown, dinner frock or
waist for home wear, no elbow sleeves
are seen. The long sleeve is worn
whenever a woman steps across her
own threshold.
A most useful travelling coat for the
littlest girl of the family is shown. 1t
can be developed in three-quarter or
full length and in cloth or silk. 1t
should be finished in very simple fash
ion with stitching, bias bands Or fiat
braid.
Never load child's travelling coat
with embroidery. or lace. And if the
weather promises to be very warm

instead of cloth. These little linen
coats Or busters are invaluable for the

HOW TO PATCH GARMENTS.
Success of Work Depends Chiefly
Upon the Material Used.

In the majority of cases the patch
Is sewed on the wrong side of the
garment, although in serges, merino,
cashmere, and other wooden goods it is
sometimes hemmed or scanned on the
right side, having the wrong side over
cast. The success of patching de-
ponds upon the patch, which must be
square and which must match, to a
thread, the goods on which it is placed.
Many people suggest raveling some of
the threads of the material for use,
and this is good plan if they are
suficiently strong to be worked up,
but this is often not so, and if this is
the case thread which matches the
material in quality and color should
be used.
The edges of the patch should be as
nat as possible. Great care must be
used not to pucker them when sewing,
The finishing touch is to lay a damp
cloth over it on the right side and
press well, making it so smooth as to
be invisible.

The Sections Precaution.

ranged at church near Sheffield. The
vicar was VIGOROUSLY f&-getful, and
when the bride and bridegroom ar
rived with their friends he was not
there. The sexton went in search of
him, but when he returned with the
vicar the wedding party had disap-
peared. The bride and bridegroom,
however, had words" while waiting
for the vicar, and had gone home.
Whatever differences there were were
patched up, and a few days later they
again presented themselves at the
church for the wedding. Again the
sexton had to fetch the vicar. Sup
pose they are gone again when we get

LuNATIcs ALLOWED AT LARGE.
They Are a Menace to the Public, But
UkTer No Restraint.

There are many lunatics at large
right now who should either be in
asylums or under restraint at home
receiving the attention of physicians,
says the New York Telegram. Many
persons have been killed by maniacs,
and relatives of the killers knew they
were insane and swore to it on the
witness stand at the subsequent trials.
NO insane person is harmless. One
frequently hears it said of an eccen-
trio person: He's crazy, all right,
but he's harmless man" Every
lunatic is menace. 1t is better for
him and for all his relatives that he
be locked up. You never can tell
what mailman will dc, and if he
takes human life he cannot be pun
lshed for it.
There are few persons who go up
and down the face of the earth who
are not acquainted with one or more
lunatics. l know two crazy men who
go about their business the same as
other men do. One of them is single
anu Is dill SSOllldnldC. ne luluhS VI uU
one and nothing but himself. 1t is
virtually impossible for him to talk
about any subject except his business
affairs and his wonderful doings. All
of his acquaintance treat him indul-
gently and laugh at his boasts. He is
quick-tempered and quarrelsome and
some day he'll do some one mischief.
Then all his friends will swear that he
is crazy and that they have known it
for long time and never thought he
was dangerous. Insanity is in the
mans family. Two of his relatives
are in asylums.
The other lunatic with whom I am
acquainted believes that every mans
hand is against him. If you pass him
on the street and fail to greet him
with effusiveness you are certain to
receive two or three menacing letters.
Ii he invites you to go somewhere
with him and you decline with all the
politeness imaginable he will threaten
to kill you.

WAS ONLY HE'D BLOOD.

Three-year-old Allan had a very arts

deeds of them and warned him from
ever playing with boys of low degree.
One day Allan came screaming up
stairs to his mamma and grandma,
holding his hand up covered with
blood, where he had cut his little
finger. They were both greatly
alarmed, as he was child who rarely
cried or complained when hurt. Nam
ma washed the blood off and, exam
lining the cut, said:
why, dear, it's not so very bad
Does it hurt you so much?'
I'm not cryin' cause it hurts" he

ICES first-cIass dressmakers and gets
her moneys worth by wearing her
clothes two or three seasons without
losing her prestige as a well-dressed
woman. There is an advantage in
this method, as you can see, and I
have been told by women who use
It that there is economy as well.
1t is no economy to save at the ex-
pense of good looks. 1t is a woman's
duty to look her best, duty she owes
to her family. If she can secure it
by small expenditure, SO much the
better, but to save by accepting shah
biness is. not creditable save in dire
stress of circumstances. Poverty is
an excuse for shabbiness and nothing
else is accepted by the world. save in
the rare cases of shabby millionaires.
