The charm of Mrs. Ruth McEnery
Stuart's negro dialect stories was
greatly enhanced when she read them
herself, as she used frequently to do
in the early days of her fame, for
charity and church entertainments.
Her imitation of the negro dialect was
excellent, and her small son, who was
very fond of her accomplishment in
this line. frequently boasted of II
among the other children. Once, when
some of his schoolmates were vaunt-
ing the accomplishments of their sew
eral mothers. he was overheard to de-
clare:
We'll, my mother is smarter than
any of yours. She can speak two Ian
guages."
What are they?" demanded his
companions.

TO MAKE SECURING BALLS.
Two Methods Of Preparing These Use,
full Aids to Housewives.

Not every housekeeper knows how
to prepare securing balls The follow.
ing is a good method; Mix fuller's
earth and strong suds of white cas-.
tile soap to stiff paste, then work
this into balls about the size of a
hens egg and allow them to dry.
To use, first remove all surface
dirt with brush after shaking, and
sponge the soiled places lightly with
tepid water.
Then rub gently but very thoroughly
with one of these balls The garment
should be hung in dry place for a
day or so, then the dry earth brushed
off. After this. it is ready for press
ing.
Another way of making these balls
is to use five ounces of pipe clay
three ounces of powdered French
chalk and three ounces of alcohol
This paste should be nodded into
small balls and set aside to dry.
If housekeeper has any leisure
time on her hands after the autumn
housekeeping, she would find it q
great help to make lot of these
securing balls and have them on hand
for any emergency.
