Some very effective decorating has
been done in wheeling stitch, which is
lust another adaptation of ~buttonhole
stitch, and is the simplest thing in the
world to do. While wallachian stitch
was a rival of solid embroidery, wheel
ms stitch will play outline stitch. The
stitches are taken rather short and are
not placed so close together as to. pre-
sent a solid appearance. Almost any
pattern designed for outline may be
worked in this variety of stitch. All
curves are most readily turned-hence
the name.
Hemming on lightweight wool goods
should be done by hand and with a
short needleful of split silk. This does
away with the tight twisting Of the fine
single silk and in consequence makes
a prettier hem. Another good plan Is
to use the rawlings of the material, as
this is a perfect match, and, having the
same sheen as the material, does not
show il a chance stitch goes through.

Care Of Table Linen.

In this age of pretty things for the

her table linen. Be sure to get a good

Her Husband is n Crank.

Dear Miss Doom:
1 have read your interesting advice
to others, and would like to have your
opinion on a subject that has en-
barrassed me very much. l know you
are a woman of -mmon-sens and
good judgment, and l woul Ike to
hear from YOU. 1 went out the other
night with my husband to have some
ice cream, and while in the ice cream
parlor the proprietor came up to me.
and after taking my order 1 asked him
if he would let us have Il little music.
He has a handsome photograph with
the best operate records. My husband
was shocked, and said that no woman
of refinement would do such a thing.
He thought my asking was very UNI
ladylike. Naturally we argued. He
thinks he Is right, and of course | think
1 am, although 1 may have made a
mistake. He is one of the kind of men
who thinks he possesses no faults, calls
himself refined. while l am supposed to
be ignorant. Thanking you in advance
for a reply, 1 am, MRS. b. q. M.
I cannot see where there was a par
tlcle OF ndfm IN your dshiuS tife pro-
prietor to play the photograph, If you
knew him well. 1t was rather ridicu-
lous for your husband to object. I
think he is Jealous of you and has a
very poor way of showing 1t. The best
way to get along with such q husband
is to meet his remarks in silence. This
will bring him to his senses quicker
than anything.

Patch Torn Lace with Net.

If the lace or insertion on clothing
becomes torn do not attempt to darn
1t, as the work is tedious and difficult,
and in many cases the results are not
satisfactory. The ibest and quickest
way of mending torn laces is to haste
a piece of plain net a tri1e larger than
the torn place under the hole and over
cast 1t around the edges. Remove the
basting threads and press the patch on
the wrong side. BY this method the
torn place is neatly and satisfactorily
mended.

macintosh may be cleaned by washing
it with soap and water, but If it Is ex-
%ceptionally dirty dip it first in cold
soft water and then lay on a clean
table or board. With a soft scrubbing
brush scrub with yellow SOAP on both
sides until the dirt is removed. Then
dip in three or four waters until the
O is removed entirely and hang 1t
out without wringlng 1t. If the mud
stains around the bottom have been in

to send 1t to a cleaner.

To Clean Feather pillows.

An excellent way to clean feather
pillows is to turn the feathers into a
bag made of two thin muslin sheets,
sewed together. Have your tub filled
with lukewarm soapsuds before you
put in your bag of feathers. Rub be-
tween the hands until all dust is re-
moved, and wiring into a tub of clean
hot water, and at the last rinsing use
cold water. Wiring out as dry as pos
sible, and hang them In the air where
the sun and wind will strike them.
Turn and shake them over several
times during the day, and When almost
dry beat lightly. When the feathers
are perfectly dry they will puff up and
fill the bag. Have your pillow-cases
washed and ready to receive the
feathers when dry.

A Remedy for oily Skin.
Dear Madame.
I am going to ask you If you can give
me a remedy for my hair. My hair is
a light brown and seems to be getting
very oily and greasy. I wash it in
borax and baking soda water. Dc you
think that is the cause of it being so
oily and greasy? 1 wash my head
every two weeks. Is hat too often to
wash 1t? And what could I use to make
it light without using peroxide of hy-
drogen? Hoping to heal from you by
Saturday. M. J. H.
The borax and baking soda will not
make your hair greasy. On the con-
trary, it should make it dry. but I want
to advise you not to use too much of
either, for they will make the hair
harsh and cause it to break. Try the
following tonic, which you will find very
beneficial:
Witch hazel, 2 ounces.
Alcohol, 2 ounces.
Distilled water, l ounce.
Resorein, 40 grains.
Rub thoroughly into the scalp every
night, until your hair loses h oily
appearance.

Many persons fancy that raw apples
are indigestible, and only endurable in
adage, that fruit is gold in the morn

lead at night, is to some extent an

Dietitians tell us that ripe raw
apples contain more ~phosphates in pro-
portion to their bulk than any other
article of food, fish not excepted. A re-
cent writer on this point boldly declares
that in this lies the secret of healthful
longevity. They correct biliousness and
act as a sedative upon racked nerves
and allay insomnia.
Eat uncooked apples constantly, al
though, of course, in moderation, and
drink distilled water only, and years

evidences of age will be long in

Phosphoric acid contains the least

If you want to live long, to retain

end. The standing of the Independents
dropped from the 500 section to the
