BUTTON STRINGS FOR MOTHER.
Simple Device That Will Save Much
Time and Labor.

Every mother knows how difficult
it is to keep buttons in the work bas-
ket. II is one of the most painful
recollections of my childhood. the hav-
ing to look for buttons while mother
was sewing. The buttons were in a
lin box, very long and very narrow,
and it was necessary to empty its con
tents on the floor to- find the. one but
ton required In doing this much
lime was lost, when might have been
playing, and it seemed to me such an
unnecessary task
Nowadays the wise mother strings
her buttons on a heavy thread-or
else she sets one of the children at
the task When stringing them she
leaves long piece of thread at the
end so that the buttons may be
slipped up and down on the string.
When she needs one of the buttons,
she selects it and slides the rest Of
the buttons away from it, then She
nips the thread, takes the button off
and ties the thread together again, II
the thread is not too coarse (and No.
40 is of sufficient strength the knot
will slide through the holes of the but
tons without any interference what
ever. The string may be kept in
mothers basket, and no little baby
fingers will scatter the buttons to the
four corners of the room.

HAT B7oKs Up THE CONCERT.
Remarkable Aeadqear Responsible for
Spoiirg Performance.

A story has reached this country Of
a hat which spoiled an afternoon per-
Torrance at a small French play
house, 1t appears thai in the absence
of an orchestra lady presided over
the piano. She was neither young,
pretty nor talented, and not wishing
to pass unnoticed conceived the idea
of wearing a hat that would attract
the attention of the audience.
In this she was successful. The hat
looked like a good-sized umbrella COW
cred with flowers, ribbons and birds.
AS the lady took her seat the surprise
1t caused hushea the audience into
silence; when, however, the pianist
struck the first notes and the flowers,
ribbons and birds began mad dance,
the storm broke loose and the laughter
at last grew so terrific that the curtaiH
was lowered to give the spectators an
opportunity of regaining titsir compos-
ure. They never regained it, the per-
Torrance was spoilcl and the authors
are suing the dire2tcr fol- damages.

him to doctor and tried half dozen
other treatments, all with the same
result: no Improvement at all. The
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part of his body was quite raw.
We had to strap him down in bed, for
be used to tear himself drcadfully in
his sleep. The agony he went through
is quite beyond words. No one thought
we would rear him. The regimental
doctor, a very clever man, pronounced
the case hopeless; at least, he said the
only hope was that he might, if he
lived long enough, outgrow it to some
extent. We had him in hospitals four
times and he was pronounced one OF
the worst cases, if not the worst, ever
admitted. From each he was dis
charged as incurable; in fact he got
worse under the successive treatments.
At one hospital they incased him in
plaster, and this seemed to aggravate
the soreness terribly. He looked SO
badly that no one liked to go near him
and his life was bul den to him. We
kept trying remedy after remedy, but
we had got almost past hoping for q
cure. Six months ago we purchased
a set of Cutioura Soap, Ointment. and
Resolvent Pills and persevered with
them. The result was truly marvellous
and to-day he is perfectly cured, his skin
not having a blemish on it anywhere.

MATERIALS FOR WHITE rRooNs.
Peplinette of Wool and Cotton Is One
of the Best.

A great many mothers prefer to
dress their young daughters in white
the year round. Although This may
seem a bit impractical in a large city
where more or less dust is to be con
tended with, it is a most attractive
and dainty fad, and one that may be
managed even in the case Of school
frocks, If suitable materials and de-
signs are selected. One Of the popu-
lar materials for this purpose is sort
of poplinette containing wool and a
small proportion of cotton. 1t is said
to launder perfectly and to be almost
as warm as some of the lightweight
worsteds, notably the tropical serges
which are now SO much affected by
college girls. Another practical fabric
lis medium weight serge This should
be thoroughly shrunken before being
madc up, so that when washed there
will be no danger of the frock's losing
its shapeliness. There are also certain
cashmeres Of the cheaper sort which
Iaunder well and always look soft and
giFlish All froclzs Of this class should
ba made UP with gored skirts, as plaits
are most difficult, to iron.

TO state that silk sleeves are back
again and very much to the fore may
sound like an Irish bull Nevertheless,
the old-fashioned idea CT putting silk
sleeves in cloth dresses is one of the
coming fads, notably in elaborate
afternoon costumes. These sleeves
are generally of the mousquetaire type,
but not always of mittaine length, for
while some Of them extend wen over
the hand others scarcely cover the
ugly wrist knuckle peculiar to the
thin woman who can easily wear the
directoire gowns When the silk
sleeves do not wrinkle over the arm.
as the mousquetaire type should do,
they are plain and embroidered. In

There are large number Of treat

Orange Tree Moves North.

bear it's wreaths of snow and III May
its garlands OF bloom, and when sum

as that sweetened in the South sun
