The Scarf Of 1860

The scarf, which in days gone by was
an almost necessary adjunct to My Lady's
toilette, is once more seen at dances, at
the opera, in the cafes where the fash
lonable world dines-foating through the
rooms like many-colored butterflies
The commonplace blue and pir,x gauze
are largely in the minority. /y;iey are not

Home Hints

Ammonia should not be used in the
evening or near a fire, nor should the
bottle be allowed to remain uncorked
1t is infiammable and its fumes are
not specially healtful.
Save nut shells in old paper bag
until some time when you want some
firing to brown very quickly in the
oven. Then throw them on the fire
and get the full benefit of the quick
intense heat.
Keep tacks in bottles. 1t saves
opening many boxes to find a. particular
kind.
When cleaning house use plenty of
turpentine in the scrub water. 1t
means certain death to moths.
A small clean sponge and bowl of
water are essential upon the ironing
beard when fine lingerie garments must
frequently dampened A bowl of clear
starch water Is also needed.

the day and not one of them can be called
anaemic.
The scarf should be worn over the Shout
ders with the ends hanging to the hem
of the skirt or around the shoulders with
the ends crossed and hanging loosely in
the 1860 fashion.
The vari-colored scarfs form a brilliant
note in any gathering of well-dressed
women and if you own and wear one
it shows that you are in touch with the
fastest fashion.

A New Material /,

Half the people who buy and sell don't
know the names of the remarkable mate
rails on the counters. Possibly they
haven't any names. They are turned out
for beauty and comfort, and they GER
tainly fill these ends.
One of the attractive evening fabrics
invented to make directoire gowns worn
without petticoats is of corded satin crepe
on the outside and cashmere on the inside
in supple weave.
1t is extra wide and when cut into an
empire gown falls in lovely lines The
cashmere gives it body and keeps 1t from
becoming string-like. 1t sells at a mod
crate price and promises to be very pop
ular.

When Making Mavonnaise

If you have difficulty in dropping the oil
slowly enough when making mayonnaise
and have not a contrivance for dropping
the oil, substitute may easily be made
Take wide-necked bottle and cut small
wedge shaped piece out of the cork, from
top to bottom>Pour the oil into the bottle,
replace the cork and hold the bottle on
its side so that the oil will flow Slowly
into the bowl in which the mayonnaise
is being made.

Corn Pepper For Toast

housekeeper who is fond of toast says
that she finds she can toast more expedl-
tiously by putting her slices OF bread
in a, corn pepper of generous size and
using that instead of the regulation toast
err There is no danger of the broad Slip
ping out, as is the case with the toaster,
and the handle is so long that the pepper
may be held close to the Goals without
burning ones arm.

The Flat Couture

The couture is becoming fatter and
fiatter on top of the head If this be pos
sible. To accentuate the part and fiat
ness three bands of gold or tinsel are
worn, extending around the head quite to
the nape of the neck, similar in effect to
the Grecian fillet. Beyond this fillet in
back, the surls and puffs, seemingly, can
not extend too far.

To Keep. Olives

Perhaps you have used part of a bottle
of olives and the remainder seem to be
losing their flavor. Add just a little olive
oil to the brine. This will help to retain
the natural flavor of the fruit.

In 1851 at a camp meeting in Vandyke's s

oed people. who happened to meet near
where our people, including myself. were

Mista Johnsing Miss Skies. Now not ex-
actly that way but propose hereby, to
introduce myself to a newspaper read
ing people and enter into the newspaper
arena. For an indefinite period with one

give my observation, my experience or
my opinions. which may be of little i'm

How little or how much know.

ordinary farm house, on a farm known
as the Gardner farm (then as now) near
the long bridge in Black Bird hundred,
on the Sth day of January, 1886. and was
raised from infancy on a farm in a Sec
tion of country known as Gum Bush, on
the road leading from Taylor's Bridge
to Blacks Bird, and running as nearly as
possible parallel with Blackbird Creek,
the crookedest creek in the State or any
other state, and a farm of as many diff
ferent kinds of soil as can be found on
any other five hundred acres in the

And always shuned any sort Of strife.

DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN.

A CcORDING to reports from Lincoln Mr..
Bryan proposes to consult with "promi-
nent Democratic business men" as regards the
conduct of his campaign. The colonel was not
pleased with the management of the party when
he was the nominee.
In two of his campaigns, the late Senator Jones,
OF Arkansas, was the Democratic national chair
man. The qualifications of the late senator for
that position were never fully disclosed, and 1t
was always a source of wonder why he held the
position of national chairman Senator Jones was
used to Southern political methods and Arkansas
politics, but when he entered the national arena
he was lost in the shuttle.
Judge Parker four years ago, had no better ex-
perience than had Mr.. Bryan. The Hon Tom"
Taggart, of Indiana, was forced upon the judge
as the national chairman over the protests OF Mr.
Parker's friends. Mr.. Taggart proved himself
failure as a national campaign manager Others
had to take hold and try to inject some life into
the Democratic canvass.
Prohtng by these experiences, it is no wonder
that Bryan does not want Taggart continued as
national chairman, although the obliging Tom"
would not be adverse to holding on II he could.
Still now that tom" has his friend and sup
porter Mr. Kern, of Indiana nominated for vice
president, he should be satisfied Tom" will
have his hands full in trying TO carry his own
State for the ticket He has a large Rooseyeltian
majority to be overcome If he wants to win.
Mr.. Bryan may have some difficulty in secur-
ing the right sort of chairman. If the chairman
is not to receive funds from wealthy men his task
will be all the more burdensome.
The selection of a national chairman is not the
only thing that worries the Democratic nominee.
The efforts to pacify Hearst and his Independ-
ence League followers have not been successful.
The independence League proposes to hold its
convention in Chicago Bryan expects to be in
the Windy CITY at that time and would be
pleased to receive overtures from the managers
of the league. If the league names a ticket
against Bryan it will draw votes from the Demo
cratic party Bryan realizes that he must gain
votes, and not lose them, if he hopes to stand
chance of election.

Miss Anna S. Cammack of Washington how

She abhors the publicity of it. The reports
of the doings Of millionaires and multi-miHon-
aires, whose acts form so large part of the
news OF the day in the larger journals has no
lure for her. Her father was worth between two
and three millions, and he cut off his daughter
with $4,000 legacy. Her marriage had dis
pleased him.
But when asked if she proposed to contest the
will, Miss Cammack replied that she did not Her
marriage, against which her father advised ended

vorce and was permitted to resume her maiden
name She now holds position under the gov
ernment in Washington, and the $4,000 that she
did get will not cause her to renquish her lob.
She Just wants to continue right along as she has
done. Others can get the bulk of her fathers
property. Most people will think that the young
woman deserves more than pittance slice of her
parents purse Miss Cammack is one in thou
