Walked with Another Girl.

Dear Miss Doom:
L am a young man in love with a
girl two years my junior. She has
previously reeiprocated my affection,
but now seems to shun my society,
owing to the fact that some one in
formed her that l was seen out with
another girl whom she does not care
for.
AS my meeting this other girl was
purely accidental, L am very anxious
to explain the circumstances to her,
but she will not give me the opportu-
nifty.
Kindly advise me what to do, as I
love her very dearly. r. M. L.
Write her a note explaining the whole
thing. Being a girl, she will not be
able to resist reading it, and thus a
reconciliation may be brought about.

If your hair has been falling for SO

see a scalp specialist at once, as in
your case 1 would think there is some
disease of the scalp. A good hair tonic,
and one which has been known to pre-
vent the hair from falling is COM
pounded as follows:
q Picnic acid, 2 grammes.
Tincture nux vomica, 7h grammes.
Tincture of red cinchone, so grammes.
Tincture of ca%ntharides, 2 gramn1es.

you suggest. ANXIOUS MOTHER.
While your child is in danger of be-
coming permanently round shouldered,
with care the muscles of her back may
be strengthened without the aid of
braces of any kind. Begin at night
with a radical change in her sleeping
position, and do not permit her to
sleep with a heavy pillow under her
head. A small fiat pillow is all she
needs. and if possible h should be
taught to sleep without any pillow.
Have her practise chest expansion
with a pair OF light weight ~dumbbells.
Swing the arms outward and upward
over the head in regular movements.
You will be able to notice a change in
a little while.

This season dotted swiss is made for
the first time in a variety of ways.
Some of the dots are brown and some
are blue: some are merely circles and
others crescents, while one dottea
swiss was covered with little flowers.
AS this material is to be used so much
as a trimming for lawns, linens and
piques the many varieties obtainable
will greatly aid the clever girl in sub
stituting this rather cheap material for
hand embroidery. Many of the newest
designs in lingerie are carried out by
combining swiss with nainsook. A
most attractive n%ightgown is made
with a round neck finished with a
band of dotted swiss through which
pink ribbon is run. 1t is also used as
a belt under the arms and around the
edge of the wide sleeves.

CARE OF SKIRTS.

How to Clean, Press and Lay Them
 Away Properly. -
 Here is a practical plan for cleaning and pressing skirts, says the New York American: Brush them first, then whisk off with a clean brush damp ened in ammonia and warm water.
 Any stain can be removed if rubbed out at once with a mixture of equal parts of ammonia, alcohol and water. After the skirt is thoroughly cleaned, brushed and dried lay 1t on the press ing table or board, pin each plait down in the proper fold, cover the skirt with a piece of dark woolen goods which has been previously dampened and then press.
 To remove dust from silk skirts do not use brush, but wipe them with q piece of velveteen. which will not wear the silk and will remove the dust very much more satisfactorily than q brush.
 Silk or rufIled skirts should be fitted out with tapes sewed on the lower ruffies. by which they may be hung upside down. This prevents the skirt from sagging and the ruflles from dropping.
 Gowns of delicate material should be put away in long boxes or drawers, each skirt being folded in plalts. into which 1t should fall when being worn. The bodices should be stuffed with tissue paper; also the sleeves and trimmings filled out with the paper.
 Wash frocks should always be put away in trunks, boxes or drawers, whether they have been worn or not, for in hanging they grow stringy, are more easily affected by dampness and lose their freshness before they are worn. f..

How to Mend Mattinq.

Often in moving a heavy piece of furniture the mating on the floor will have an ugly hole torn in 1t, says the Chicago News. The torn place is usu- ally where 1t Is the most noticeable and cannot be covered with q rug. There is an excellent way to remedy this defect by alarming the place with rafila of colors to match the mating straw. It is much better than threads, and the work can be neatly done. It may be necessary to run heavy cords across the work through which the raffia is to be woven. The threads are sewed in place with large darnins needle. Torn places on the edge of mating can be remedied in the same manner. It Is best to sew mating to- gether with loose stitch, using very heavy linen thread for the purpose, but where this cannot be done then use tha regular mating tacks or ordinary tacks, placing first one side, then the opposite side. to prevent the baggy ap- pearance which so often occurs. Nev- CT use a claw hammer to lift taclSs from mating. since 1t invariably breaks the straw. Get an old blunt chisel, place it beneath the mating and tack head, pound gently with the hammer and pry the tack up. This will draw the tack out straight and leave the mating unbroken.

How to Dust Furniture Properly.

Soft cloths make the best dusters. In dusting any piece of furniture begin at the top and dust down, wiping care fully with the cloth, which can be fre- quently shaken. A great many people seem to have no idea what dusting Is intended to accomplish, and instead of wiping off and removing the dust 1t is simply fiirted off into the air and soon settles down upon the articles dusted. If carefully taken up by the cloth. it can be shaken out of the window into the open air. If the furniture will per init the use of q damp cloth, that will more easily take up the dust, and 1t can be washed out in a pail of suds. It Is far easier to save work by cover ing up nice furniture while sweeping than to clean the dust out, besides leaving the furniture far better in the long run.

CHINESE MAKE BID FOR

COTTON CARRYING TRADE
VICTORIA, Ocs. 5.-A strung bid to
wrest the cotton carrying trade from
the trans-Pacific steamship lines from
Puget sound and San Francisco, is be-
ing made by the Eng Hok Tung steam
ship line, a service operated by Chi
nese merchants of Hongkong and Can
ton, running between HongkOng and.
Salina Cruz, according to adviees re-
ceived here.
The Chinese merchants have formed
combination with the Tehuantepec
railroad and the Wolvin steamship line
running from Puerto Mexico. The port
of the Tehuantepec railroad on the At
latnic is Galveston. Cotton from Texas
has in the past been shipped by rail
to San Francisco and Puget sound and
has formed a large part of the gen
eral cargoes OF trans-Pacific steamship
lines.
Eng Hok Tung, president of the Chi
nese line, arrived in Victoria on the
steamer Empress of Japan about a
fortnight ago and proceeded to Mexico
on business in connection with the
combination which has just been ef-
! fected.
