EXPERIENCE

It was about two years ago When dropped into Wrangell, And the way I hustled up some work To relieve me from the tangle- 'rwould do you good to watch me, I thought the world I'd tramel; But I was lucky, you can bet, To go to work for Campbell. But since l have been in the town I've never been beneath And by the way will tell you Doc Emery fixed my teeth. He done just what he said he would, He stuck right to his promise, And if you don't believe me, Just go and ask Judge Thomas. We like to have good men in town And will not stand for pottage, So the Hindus that came up here Were shipped or by. the Cottage.

FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIE w

Don't show too much pride IN your
house" advised the husband of a woman
who had Just settled into a more preten-
tious residence than she had been accus-
toned 70, FOR the Smiths liYe very simp-
ly. They have ambitions. but have not
yet found the money with which TO graf
ify them, and you do not want 20 make
them envious, l am sure"
The Smiths were a youn6 couple living
IN suite not planned In regard 10 any
but simple living. They are a happy pair,
working together fer the things they
want. and the husbands warning was not
needed, as 1t happened. They went 20
the new home TO dinner, ate as healthy
human beings should eat a good dinner,
and openly admired whatever struck their
fancy. without a trace OF envy, which is
precisely the conduct expected Of rational
men and women. in any station IN life.
Envy Is the meanest and most senseIess
sentiment conceivable. II generally in
dulged In, It would make II possible for
every individual to be happy. In the
person
whose condition could not be improved.
Health is not general. and fortunes IA
vors are unfairly distributed. some have
beauty and others are talented. and few
OF us come anywhere near our desires.
But that is no excuse for feeling and act
ing disagreeably, Is It? II you were
given to-day. the chance OF affirming your
ambition by the sacrifice Of a husband. a
child, or loved parents. would you take
=? II you are not willing 10 pay the
price, why feel disagreeable2
tell you. the fortunate few who are
deeply attached 70 their own belongings
have the best of life They keep their
friends and give up the old, familiar OBJ
jects by which they are surrounded only
when obliged to do il. and that is a safe
guard against the desire for new ones.
The women who change a residence each
year and altar the arrangement OF the,r
furnishings every week or two are TOO
fckle 10 be happy and contented any
where, and the world cares little about
them and their feelings.
There are beautiful old homes whore
changes are so rare that they are scarce
ly noticed. They consist only Of renova-
uons before dilapidation IS apparent. and
the gradual additions that modern life de-
mands or better financial conditions rer-
nit The dwellers IN these homes are
the solid families Of the country, the kind
not easily affected by the fluctuation OF
The money market. They do not live up

vest their savings In things that promise
a reasonable security. They do not al

In summer there IS a great demand for
little aprons that may be worn as play
frocks. with or without a guimpe. on
warm days, and because II conveniently
meets this need, as well as because OF its
general attractiveness, the apron shown
in the sketch will commend itself TO all
mothers of small active girls. IN front
the apron Is made In frock effect, the
tucked bodice and gathered skirt portion
being Joined by means of a belt, but at
the back the garment hangs In straight
lines from the neck TO the hem, n few

THE SHAMPOO

It should occur at an interval OF from
two to six weeks.
Before It is given all tangles should be
removed.
The water &c lukewarm and a thick
lather Is made Of pure CASTLE soap.
This is applied thoroughly with a stin
nail brush and with the fingers.
The water is then made as hot as pos
sible and the head well soaped
-Four rinsing waters are used. the last
two Of which are quite cool
Rub afterward with a soft towel, as a
bath towel Is apt 20 break the hair.
After the hair is dry. a massage with
the finger tips Is very beneficial
White CASTLE soap and tar soap are good
shampoos, but the green surgeons soap
so much used Is almost too strong
BY shaving CASTLE soap down and boil
ing, a permanent shampoo jelly may be
kept on hand
For a heavy head OF hair an ounce OF
this suffices and for a less heavy one-half
an ounce is required.

A FASHION CENSOR

London sports a censor OF plays. and
Paris bids fair 10 require a censor Of
fashions. with lovely woman at the races
reviving Directoire styles TO such an ex-
tent that Il was necessary 10 appeal to
the police.
The London man reads plays In order to
ascertain II a maiden may ask her mother
70 take her with propriety to see a play.
And II is Just possible we shall yet see 6
fashion censor running about with n
tape measure IN his hand and fire
in his eye. No haggllng over risque stu
ations for him. Rather will he see 4
dame with a too, too clinging skirt. and
charge after her. crying Halt" He will
run the measure round the offending
drapery. and dramatically eXclaim Hal
AS / thought Thirteen inches below re-
quirements. You are arrested. madam"
Or he might round UP "eXtinguisher"
hats. especially those which he consid-
cred a menace to public safety. Too
transparent lingerie dresses would trouble
him endlessly, while Overgaudy hosiery
might be his uRdoing. Say he'd only got
ten a glimpse; imagine the stony glare
he'd receive when he requested cOnfirma-
tory evidence. He'd also have his troubles
when frenzied couturieres hunted him out
10 know why he had suppressed their
most cherished creations.

PERFORMING MILK.

Strong milk pancreatic acid extract.
and bicarbonate Of soda are all that is
necessary in the preparation.
For a pint Of milk fifteen grains Of bi-
carbonate OF soda and five of pancrehtic
acid are required
These are then mixed in half a cupful of
milk. and this Is added TO the pint. stir
ring and blending.
The work is best done in a covered pre-
serve Jar, which is placed in a kettle at
10 Fahrenheit.
The kettle should be tightly covered TO
keep II at the same temperature, and Il
should stand two hours
Should IL be modified, all the ingredients
except the blcarbonate of soda should be
added.
Standing In heat for two hours COM

~ minutes sufflces.
Peptonized milk is only given TO a baby
after some digestive disturbance. and
should never be given without a doctors

To LOOK WELL woMAN's DUTY.

The woman OF taste keeps abreast Of
the fashions In a way, that is. she drops
wornout styles and adopts whatever new
ones she can adapt 70 her use. II she
can afford It she patronizes frst-class
dressmakers, and gets her moneys worth
by wearing her clothes two or three sea-
sons without losing her prestige as a
well-dTessed woman. There IS an advan-
tage In this method. as you can see. and
I have been told by women who use il
that there is economy as we'll
1t is no economy to save az the ex-
pense Of good looks. 1t is a woman s
duty to look her best, a duty she owes
70 her family. II she can secure 1t by a
small expenditure so much the better.
but TO save by accepting shabbineSs is
not creditable save in dire stress OF cir
cumstances. Poverty Is an excuse for
shabbiness. and nothing else is accepted
by the world. save in the rare cases Of
shabby millionaires.

SUMMER WRIST BAGS.

Mesh bags are modish.
Silver and gold are both favored
Leather Is not In any great request
Embroidered linens match the costume.
These linen bags are tremendously
mOdsh
Or they may be done in pongee or other
material.
At the Horse Show a charmer in an
Irish lace crochet coat had bag covered

These fabric and lace bags have a metal
frame. Just as have the mesh bags, so
they look their part, and are not a bit
like fancywork or evening bags.

THE NEW EVENING GOWN.

Softest fabrics compose It.
Even the ribbons used on II must be

Stoles, long panels, and scarfs are the
most prominent characteristics.
Silver and gold threads are also enlisted
with great success.
Crystal turquoise, and other beads aid
in the effectiveness of long stoles.
Often thread and beads are massed upon
a filet foundation,
The dress is frequently a composite Of
Directoire, Empire. and Egyptian styles.
The classic lines prohibit much jewelry
and neck trinkets are tabOoed with them
They also require simple hairdressing
and the most unaggressive cOiffure orna-
ments.

WEALTH AND IDEALS

dirt saw her once at close quarters
In fact. I interviewed her In the days
when she Stunned nOtoriety. and I said
afterward that II she were my mother
I should be ashamed Of her untidy ap-
pearance. Her clothes were spotted with
grease and dirt. and the ruffies at her
neck were none too clean. Her manners
were not quite what one might expect
from a person in her position. and
canuo. say that her treatment OF me
was very aattering but 1 was able 10
draw a word picture Of her that was
truer likeness than some Of the photo
graphs she has given 70 the newspapers,
says a writer in the Philadelphia Bull
letin.
There IS a case where a duty is plainly
overlooked The woman is a wonder in
her own line, and she owes the world a
debt which she Is not discharging by
neglecting her personal appearance. she
has the right 10 live as simply as she
pleases. TO scrub her own floors and
carry paper bag luncheon 70 her room
in a hotel. but she has no moral right
20 give 70 youth an impression Of sOrdid-
ness from vast wealth. The possession
of money presupposes the accompaniment
of refinement and all the ether blessings
money can buy, and unless such an ideal
is held UP 10 youth, OF what use is the
hard struggle for education and hnan-
cial success? I have in mind a beauti-
fttI bOr11a IN which the Family Of q iiouOr
dealer forgets the source Of its income,

bitions above the sordid drinking place.
