He Has Not Proposed.

Dear Margery Doom:
1 am a daily reader of your column
and am greatly interested in the many
letters you get. | also think your an
swers are very fair, and that is why
1 am writing this letter. l am a young
girl OF 10, and have been going for
some time with a young man three
years my senior. He is very fine to
me, taking me to lots of places of
amusement. and when I was sick he
sent me flowers twice. But, dear Miss
Doom, he has never said a word about
being in love with me, or he has not
asked me to marry him. He has been
coming to see me for the last six
months. Do you think he is just max
ing a fool of me? When he was away
on his vacation he wrote to me every
day, and sent me cards besides. Please
tell me what you think 1 should do.
l love him dearly. SARAH H.
Perhaps the state of his finances pre-
ven him from speaking to you of mar
riage. / think from what you say that
he loves you sincerely, and would ad-
wise you to be patient for a while
longer. He's bound to say 1t oon or
later. Why do you not pretend to be
interested in some one else, just enough
to excite his jealousy. This may bring
about the result you desire.

Cleaning Leather.

Difficulty is sometimes found in
cleaning successfully raised leather
hlotters and frames, brown shoe polish,
which is sometimes employed, being
apt to darken the leather, much as 1t
does in the matter of footgear. Tur-
pentine, however, can be safely used,
it is said, In his connection, as a
polish, and caa be applied over and
over again without any i'll effects being
noticeable, while it effectually emoves
any stains which may disfigure the
leather. After rubbing on the turpen-
tine, q little crude oil should be vigor-
ously applied with a piece of flannel,
the object being to render the leather
soft and pliable: turpentine, unless
counteracted by oil, having the effect
of hardening it to a certain extent.
After this has been done, a soft clean
cloth should be used as a polisher, and
the surface rubbed gently backward
and forward till the requisite shine has
been attained.

To Clean Curtains.

Take down the curtains. shake and
brush well. getting out all dust from
gathers, fittings, etc. Prepare a guam
tity of good wheat bran, put it into a
large pan and place before a fire to dry,
stirring with the hands frequ entity.
Afterward, if the curtains are of silk,
mix with the bran an or more of
finely powdered indigo blue. Provide
several pieces of clean flannel. Spread
the curtains, a piece at a time, on the
table. and sprinkle with bran, a hand
full at a time. Next, with a bit of fan
nel, rub the bran round and round on
the material, letting it rest before
brushing off. AS you proceed, take clean
bran and flannel, and the curtains will
become much frightened and improved
in appearance.
If glazed chintz curtains are often
cleaned in this way they will not re-
quire washing for a long time. They
never look the same after being washed.
Clean ottomans and sofas occasionally
in the same way, and they will look
much improved.

SUN and FRESH Air FOR GOOD Health.

oOC
A well known authority on general
good health says: IF you want to
Keep well, take sun baths"
Not all of us can carry this treat
ment to the extreme of the enthusiasts
who spend the greater part of each day
exposing their bodies to the air, but
all of US can, with a little manage
ment, get more sun than we do.
If you rave a sheltered yard or back
porch spend as much time as possible
on it. Wear the ARREST kind of cos
tune. The neighbors may be horri-
fed. but shut out their prying gaze by
screens.
Barefeet or sandals which make
walking easier, may quickly be tossed
off, and a low-necked and sleeveless
nightdress or wrapper of sheer mate
rial will allow lots of sun to get at
your skin and do its healing work on
the pores. Let your hair down, also,
for that, too, is benefited by air and
sunlight.
If you are not very strong. just lying
in the sun in a steamer chair will build
you up. If vigorous enough, calls
themes in you airy costume is better
still.
The value of this exercise and sun
bath combination has been proved in
an open air institution for men and
boys in Germany, where wonderful
cures are being made of rheumatism,
neuralgia, slight paralysis and nervous
affections.
The patients exercise in a high
walled space, clothed only in light bath
ing trunks. The grounds are equipped
with an open-air gymnasium, tennis
courts, shower baths and couches for
resting. Even when the o is on
the ground this somewhat chilly cure
is vigorously carried on.

simple remedy that If used faithfully
will restore the hair to its natural
color.
Boil two ounces of sag tea and two
ounces of green tea in two quarts of
boiling water until it is reduced to one
quart, using an iron pot to boil it in.
Allow it to COO and strain off and

any Improvement in the color of your

is a style worn by the younger class OF
girls.
tt ere are a few rules that embroid-
erers should neither forget nor neglect.
Embroidery--in fact, needlework in
general-shows more than any other
work the slightest mistake of the
worker. Every care must be taken to
put every stitch exactly In its place.
To do this it is necessary that the
workbasket be furnished with hoops, q
stiletto for eyelet work, an emery,
scissors, thimble, besides the usual
silks, cottons and needles.
1t is a very poor plan to bite or
break the end of a thread, for it is
sure to spoil the last few stitches.
It is a great mistake to imagine that
an eyelet may be 'just cut anyway"
Use the s~tiletto, and do it right.
Concerning the work itself, let no
knots mar the wrong side.
When finishing off a thread do not
wait until it is so short that it pulls
the last stitch tight when you u 1t
back on the wrong side of the design.

at the time. 1t is the direct route
from London to Edinburgh and has

that the earliest histories Of England
contain accounts Of the movement Of
troops upon it. 1t is a great thorough
rare for vehicles Of all sorts. motor
lists and cyclists. and in these modern
days there are we'll worn fOOtpaths
along either side for pedestrians. We

h macadam is said to be nine feet
thick. Long sections of the road are
oiled, and on no part of 1t was there
any appreciate amount of dust. There
are few sharp curves. and the grades
are so slight that 1t has become a
great tho%roughfare for speeders, with
the result that there are many police

Oriuin of the Jury.

The seed of our present form Of
trial by jury may be found in a law
of Ethelred H., binding the sheriff
and twelve prominent thames to
swear that they would neither &C
quit any criminal nor convict any
innocent person. In 1176 the jury
system was very imperfect, the
jurors being essentially witnesses,
distinguishable from the other wit
nesses only by the oath they were
obliged to take. Under Edward L.
witnesses acquainted with the facts
in question were added to the jury,
and finally these became simply wit
nesses, without judicial power, while
the first ceased to be witnesses and
became only judges of the testimony
given. Centuries were to pass, how
ever, before the complete separation
of the functions of juryman and
witness was effected.-New York
