How to Do Up Curtains.

One way to do up curtains that an
sWers equally well for madras, mus
lin, net and lace is to hang them in
stead of either ironing or stretching
Basic a broadish hem at the top and
bottom and run into each stout cur
tain pole from which you. have scratch
ed off all the paint. Stretch smoothly
upon the pole at each end, then hang
up to dry. The weight of the lower
pole will straighten and smooth it. You
can usually make room for one TO be
hung even if you cannot for one TO be
stretched upon the floor. AS soon as
one is. dry hang up another and when
they are all done rip out the hens and
press lightly with an iron that Is
warm rather than hot.
Ruffied curtains can have the ruffies
ironed or 1uted after coming OFF the
poles, and if there are any little wrifl-
kles left wet the spots and pull fhenz
out. Before curtains are put in the
wash they should be brushed or shak-
en- free from all dust and then should
be squeezed and moved up and down
in the warm suds instead Of rubbing.
Boil and rinse them and then dip them
in another water in which you have
put bluing or coffee, according as they
need to be white or cream color. Starch
them lightly while still wet

The American Abroad,

On ore of my visits to England l
spent much time in studying and adj
miring York cathedral. On one Of my
visits to the grand old structure a fell
low countryman came In with a rush
twenty minutes before service and
tackled the verger, a sedate and digni-
fed specimen, with Can see the ca
thedral at once, please?" The verger
explained slowly and courteously that
the service would begin in twenty min
utes; that it took three times as long
as that to show anybody round the ca
thedral; that no one could be shown
around during service and that after
service the cathedral would be closed
for the day as far as sightseeing went
"Oh, but I don't want to spend an
hour or even half an hour In going
around. I just want to hurry through"
said the visitor. "Ten minutes is quite
enough. My train leaves for London
in twenty-seven minutes" consulting
his watch nervously, "and / must see
ne cathedral and 60 SO please show
me over In ten minutes and be done
with it,
The verger looked at him with a
calm British amazement not to be for
gotten. Sir" be said, running is not
allowed in this cathedral - Outlook.

Gas RATES ARE HIGH
Reports From Other Cities Show
keOosha Pays as High as
Any Cities in Her Class
REPORTS FROM OTHERSTATES

While Kenosha is awaiting the com
ing Of the members Of the State Rail
road commission who are expected to
make test OF the gas rates in the city
and adjust the same, people in other
cities are also planning for an examina
ton into rates and table Of the rates
charged in the various cities in the
country is being prepared. Advance
figures of these rates which have been
given out seem to indicate that the
rates charged in Kenosha are as high
as those charged in any city Of the
same size IN Wisconsin and the sur
rounding states while in many Of the
cities Of the size Of Kenosha the rate
is much lower than that charged here
In lAenosha the rate is for fuel gas $1.20
and for Illuminating gas $1.70 per
thousand cubic feet and on these prices
rebate of twenty cents thousand, if
the bill is paid before the tenth Of the
month. This would make a net rate of
81 for fuel gas and $3.50 for the illumi-
mating gas. A comparison Of these
rates with those in other cities seems
to Indicate that the commission will
have TO get busy in Kenosha. In the
city of Rockford, ILL.,, only little larger
than Kenosha there is a fiat rate Of 81
a thousand, in Milwaukee the rate is
$50 in st. Faul $1.05; in Grand Rapids,
Mich, $40; III Muskegon 81 and Den
yer ST..
The rates received from cites in Wis
consin will be of greater interest to
the Kenosha consumers. The reports
show that in Appleton, Beloit, Green
Bay, Manitowoc, Marinette, Oshkosh
and Superior the rate is said to be ST
q thousand while in GAINESVILLE the rate
is $1.20 and in Racine the rate IS said
to vary from $40 to $50 a thousand.
These rates have been prepared by
men ID the trade to show the variation
Of rates 1t is admitted that in some
Of these cities the cost of making gas
is less than in Kenosha on account Of
The difference in the cost of coal and
other products but in most of the cities
the cost of production would not differ
greatly from Kenosha

Speaking IF the action of a steam
ship captain who compelled three gam

money which they had won on trip

makes the ocean trip frequently said,

the captain in such cases. Two years

KEEPING FRESH EGGS.
How They Can Be Preserved In Good
Condition For Months.

It may be news to many housewives
that at the cost of only cent dozen,
plus a little time and trouble, they can
keep fresh eggs for several months and
still have them come up to the strictly
fresh standard, says the Washington
Post. The spelling of eggs is declared
by scientific men to be due to the en-
trance OF air, carrying germs of decom-
position through the shells. Normally
an eggshell has coating of mucilagi-
nous matter, not perceptible to the
touch, but quite sufficient to make the
shell air tight.
Thls coating will keep out germs for
quite awhile, especially if the egg Is
carefully handled. But it is sure to
become softened in time, either by
washing or by friction with case or
with other eggs. Then the germ laden
air gets in and the eggs begin to spoil.
Thls explains why eggs packed in
lime or salt or placed in cold storage
are very far from being fresh when
they come on the market. According
to experiments made at the govern
ment station In North Dakota, there
really is one method of keeping fresh
eggs which does preserve their fresh
ness.
By this method eggs which were
packed in August were opened three
and one-half months later and 'sstill
appeared to be perfectly fresh" In
most packed eggs after little time the
yOlk settles to one side, and the egg is
then inferior in quality. But in these
three months old eggs the yolk was
in it's normal position, and Gin taste
they We're not to be distinguished from
fresh, Unpacked eggs
This is worth knowing, if it is true.
And there are other reports to the
same effect. German experimenters
tried twenty methods Of preserving
eggs. The three which were found
most satisfactory were coating them
with vaseline, preserving them in lime
water and preserving them in water
glass. The vaseline was tedious, and
the limewater gave the eggs a disa-
greeable odor and taste.
So that of all the twenty methods
employed the use Of water glass seem
ed to be the best There is one test
of packed eggs with which most cooks
are familiar. Such eggs do not beat
up well for cakemaking or for frosting.
By this test the eggs kept in water
glass solution seemed quite equal to
the average fresh eggs of the market
Water glass is cheap product that
should not cost more than so cents a
gallon. One gallon would make enough
solution to preserve fifty dozen eggs,
so that the cost would be only a cent
dozen.
Water glass is a sodium or potassium
s1licate. 10 make the solution use ten
quarts of pure water that has been
thoroughly boiled and then cooled. Add
one quart Of water glass to the ten
quarts of water.

How to Make Pies Brown.

Even when the oven is quite right
and the pastry has been made moder-
ately rich woman will feel dissatis-
led at the appearance Of a pie because
she misses the rich brown gloss that
she has seen. on pastry made by prac
teal cooks. To obtain this gloss she
needs wrinkle. It is produced by
egg wash An egg is beaten up with a
little sugar, and small quantity Of
milk is added With this wash the pie
is brushed over after the pastry has
been finished.

How to Cut a Plaid skirt.

1t is more difficult feat to cut a
skirt from plaid or striped material
than one would imagine, for it is hard
to match the plaid or stripe without
wasting a great deal of goods. Place
the center Of the front gore exactly
over the middle of the plaid or stripe.
This same thing should be done when
cutting circular skirt. Now place
the edge of the cut gore on the width
for circular skirt to the uncut ma
terial and match the crosswise stripes,
moving the gore up or down a block
or stripe until it matches exactly. Then
lay the cut edge of the second gore to
the uncut material and match as be-
fore, continuing this until the skirt is
all cut out

THE BRIDES TABLE.
How to Decorate It In a Charming
Manner.


A pretty suggestion for a brides ia
bic this year is a symbolic crown of
happiness for the Center of the table.
The framework of the crown should
consist of wire covered with white sat
In ribbon and maidenhair fern. Fill
In the framework with white hya-
dnths and starry white Japanese mar
cissus, and have the points of the
crown tipped with tiny white lighted
tapers. From the chandelier, sweeping
low over the table center, poise a set
white dove, suspended by broad white
satlr; ribbons. Grown the dove with
tiny hyacinth flowers, and have stream
erS of narrow white ribbon fall grace
fully from lis beak to the places ar
ranged for the guests. Have dainty
white heart shaped bonbonnieres attach
ed to the ribbon ends Inclose a tiny
white pencil and a bit of ribbon tied
paper in each heart box, and bid each
guest write some sweet message of
love and happiness to the bride, which
she may carry with her on her journey
into the new life.
Another charming decorative scheme
for bride consists of four long, loose
streamers of white satin ribbon,
stretched diagonally across the room
from each of the four corners of wall
and ceiling. The ribbons lattice each
other by crossing in the center of
the room over the dining table, ard
from the ribbon Iatticework unequal
lengths of white satin ribbon should
fall toward the table center, each deli
cate streamer ending with bit OF
smilaX, dainty bow and a single in
verted Easter lily. The overturned
flowers form exquisite natural we'd
ding bells.
For the centerpiece use a large round
table mirror, hedged about with nat
ural and artificial lilies. The artificial
flowers should be set in beds of smi-
lax and should have tiny lighted vel
low tapers fastened firmly in the hearts
of the flowers. The effect of the table
will be indescribably pure and bride
like, and a delicate touch may be add
ed by having at every cover a. single
natural Easter Ills Remove the sta
mems Of each flower, and fill the flower
cup with dash of whipped cream ann
orange ice.

How to Clean Walls.

Painted walls are healthy and sanl
tary, especially in the rooms which are

one-half cupful of washing Soda
thoroughly dissolved, to two-thirds OF q
pail of warm water. Wash the walls
with soft wooden cloth or a sponge
Wash a small space at a time and

BEAUTY TIPS FOR WOMEN.
How to Bleach the Skin Without
Harminq It.

HarmIn9 1t.
Not one person in five hundred
knows how to bleach the skin. Yet IL
is thing that every woman ought To
know. No matter how dark the skin
may be, you will be good looking, pro-
vided your skin is clear The Jap2-
nese woman is as brown as berry,
yet she is pretty. The Cuban women
are, many of them, clear, ripe coffee
color. Yet they are beauties The
Malay women are as yellow as saffron
Yet they are pretty, because their skins
are clear.
The trouble with most faces is thai
they do not set washed enough 4
wash cloth is not Of much good. for IL
is too harsh, and a sponge is little bet
ter. The finger tips are best. And
they should be followed with a vigor-
GUS spraying. The facial spray is the
best thing that was ever used upon the
skin, says the New York American
There are women whose faces need
to be bleached at least once a day One
woman so situated uses ripe strawber-
ries for the purpose, alternating With
a few bruised lettuce leaves.
One day she takes the lettuce leaves
breaks them and rubs them on her
face. The next day she takes q soft
berry and goes over her skin with it
She keeps doing this as long as straw
berries are to be had In certain
months she uses ripe cucumber. She
cuts it, rubs the juice on her fare and
then washes it off in warm water
There are good bleaches, though, that
can be made without going TO the
chemist, and one of these is the CORE
flour bleach. Take enough corn 1our
to fill an after dinner coffee cup. There
ought to be no Jumps in it and no
roughness. 1t should be as soft as face
powder Next take basin of boiling
water and add teaspoonful Of borax
powder to it. Into this throw the cup
Of corn -four Let it stand a little
while to strain.
Use this mixture upon the face and
hands. 1t will make them soft and
white. And the same is true OF or
binary oatmeal. 1t is very soothing
to the skin.
