MRS. POTTER PALMER
HAS MANY RIVALS.

Mrs. Potter Palmer, Chicago's social
leader, has many ambitious rivals, says
The Delineator for January. She first
asserted her right to her present
position in society during the famous
FAM of 1898.
A worlds fair, it will be perceived by
now, meant more back in the last cen
fury than it means today. At all
events, Mrs. Palmer proved her right
then to her life crown. She has worn
1t, never a~rrogantly, but always with
the most delicate tact, a gift of the
gods which never deserts her, however
trying the hour. In a new Estate of
society, the social arbiter is called upon
for the most sudden decisions, which,
more often than not, reach farther
than the y of man can discern, and
Mrs, Palmer has made her full share
oil them, all distinguished for good
sense INC for level perceptions.
Chicago society women, however, are
daring enough to be the one body in
the known world ITO cast the shadow
of a doubt on Mrs. Palmer's prestige
In her home town. And since they
cannot beat her at her world game,
which started far back in 1893, that
memorable year when social lines were
drawn in Chicago for practically the
first time, Chicago women have been
attempting to decide the question, at
least to put the question to popular
vote, by means of charity. 1t is an
odd condition of affairs, something
peculiar to Chicago, and it has grown
to such proportions that the coming
winter may see the death blow dealt
to the charity fete in Chicago,

CLEANING SILKS,
LACES AND FURS.

1t is said that spots on silk can be
cleaned with gasoline and no mark Will
be left if the darnpened spots are COW
cred with talcum powder and brushed
when perfectly dry. One might make
the experiment on a piece of cloth, for
it is always best to understand cleaning
methods before risking the art on fine
material. One thing is quite certain
F'uller's earth If thickly sprinkled over
grease marks on delicate silk will clear
the blemishes and leave no marks. 1t
should be allowed to remain on the
material for several hours.
A good way to clean a net or lace
waist is to put it in a heavy pillow
case and sprinkle it quite lavishly with
flour and cornmeal. Take the bag into
the yard and shake 1t vigorously, but
not enough to injure the lace. 1t can
be left in the bag for several days,
Take out the waist and shake free from
dirt and flour mixture. In most cases
the waist will not only be perfectly
clean, but the lace will be light and
fluffy looking.
Furs can be cleaned in the same man
ner if they are of light color, though
the dark ones will look better If cleaned
by a hot cornmeal process.

MOBILIZE
The Cruelty of Children.


We love to think of children as, being
tender-hearted and kin in all things,
but occasionally they shock us by the
unthinking cruelty of their acts and
remarks.
One day last summer a small boy
wis seen removing the wings from a
fly which he had caught. Shocked, his
mother asked why he was so cruel, and
he answered, well, he's always been
used to flying, and I want to see what
he'll do>when he can't"
That night the mother assured the
boys father that something was surely
wrong with the mind of their son. But
there was not. He was merely dis
playing the natural cruelty which is
born in many and which he was not old
enough to know how to hide.
Another -youngster requested his
mother not long age to please remove
the inside of the cat, so that he could
use>it for a muff.
why, would you want the poor ami
NAL to be hurt?" she asked, %reproach-
fully.
"Oh, it won't hurt it. We can cut its
head off first" he responded, cheer
fully.
As a matter of fact that boy would
not have his cat harmed for worlds,
for only a few minutes later he was
observed climbing a tree to rescue 1t
from a dangerous position on an un-
safe branch, where it crouched, afraid
to move. The boy gently o the ami
NAL, tucked it under one arm, and
descended carefully.
1 do not think children mean to be
cruel ever. 1t is just because they
have not learned to think.

A Chicago clergyman has started a
crusade against leap-year dances on the
ground that they are an hndignifed
form of entertainment and have a ten
dency to make young women unbe-
comingly bold and forward. 81 earnest
is this good man, in his refAtm, that
he has appealed to the mothers Of his
church to forbid their daughters to give
such affairs, or to participate in them
in any way.
Boldness in q woman Is something
hard to excuse, IS Dis any fault which
detracts from my of the peculiar traits
a should possess, but even the
most straight-laced among us can hard
ly see harm in a young girl Inviting a
young man with whom she is we'll ac-
quainted to escort her to a dance, or
to lavish on him h little attentions
men usually pay girls on such occa-
sions. Because a girl takes advantage
of leap ear privileges to this extent
does not necessarily make her bold or
forward: such privileges are nearly al
ways used in a spirit Of fun, and it
seems a little far-fetched to condemn
them so strongly. =
We can all count among our ac-
quaintances shy and modest girls who
have participated in such affairs with
out marring their charming personality
in the least, and without any dis
astrous result to themselves, either.
Perhaps the fear that girls might take
advantage of their privilege to pro-
pose marriage was responsible for the
reverend gentleman's remarks, and II
that was so hen his fears were we'll
Efounded.
However, 1t may be said to the credit
of the American girl. that she has too
much dignity and self-respect, and too
| great a ems ofs-what is required OF
her in upholding the standards of
womanhood to make use of any such
p~rerogative. Our girls glory in their
independence. it is true, but they are
womanly with it all, and only in rare
cases do they overstep the bounds OF
~propriety.

1 am a young h~ousekeeper, and have a
quantity of cut glass. 1t Is one of the
problems of my life to keep 1t in the
best condition. Please tell me, If you can,
of the best way to wash cut glass, so that
Its lustre will not be dimmed. Thanking
you, MRS. WOODSIDE.
A little ammonia or soda added to the
water in which glass is washed adds to
tho lustre. If warm water is used, dry at
once If cold, drain until nearly dry
and polish with soft linen. Cut glass
should be scrubbed with a soft brush and
dried, for half and hour, in a box of saw
dust free from resin. The sawdust should
then be spread out to dry. 1t may be used
again.
Please inform me of a way to clean a
pair of white felt ~iuliets, and oblige.
MOTHER.
Put some borax in a piece of cheese
cloth and clean the juliets with it, rubbing
quite hard, then brush off with a clean
brush. If necessary repeat the process.

then return the almonds and take them

Snow "Ice Cream"

Do you remember how, the very min
ute the first flake fell, you began to
think of sno ice cream, that wonderful
connection of milk and sugar and snow,
mostly snow? All of the pink and chloe
olate frozen dainties in the world could
not compare to snow ice cream made by
yourself!
1 wonder if I can remember the rules,
If rules you could call them. 1t all de-
pended upon the amount of milk your
mother would allow you to have. I
think the average was one cup of snow,
one-quarter of a cupful of milk poured
over the snow, a ~teaspoonful of sugar,
allowed to stay on the top because of
it's sparkle, and sometimes a couple of
drops of vanilla. The ice cream was
then, ready to be eaten, and needless to
say it disappeared.
We used to put everything eatable in
o~urs-raisins, nuts, and even candy was
known to disappear in the snowy depths
of the cup. Positively, I think 1 could
enjoy it now, don't you? MOLLIE.

so SAYS THE
WISE 0CULlST.

Oculists are blaming the excessive de-
votion to bridge and the practise of
taking long motor trips for a good
deal Of their increased business late
lyi Both these habits, they say, r re-
sponsible for a growing condition of
y trouble in the world devoted to
pleasure. One of the worst features
of motorists is the habitual squirting
Induced. Indeed, motor wrinkles keep
the masseuse busy these days. They
are a special kind and require pay
ticular and earnest treatment. Whetfv
er eyes afflicted by motoritls and
bridgitis require a peculiar kind of
glasses the oculist did not say. What
he did say was that no advice to his
patients seems to lessen their indpl-
gence in these pleasures, which is to
be expected so long as there are beau
ty doctors and eye magicians to set
things right again.

delayed Weather."

Well, the delayed weather" arrived
this morning, didn't it? And the spirits
of the small boys went up in leaps and
bounds as they hauled out their sleds
and hobs, preparatory to having the
time of their lives after school closed.
The only dark spot or their happiness
was the mid-year test. which began to-
day and will last until Wednesday. NO
boy car be completely satisfied with
life when IN examination is hanging
over his head.
1 suppose the oldest inhabitants were
up unusually early to swap stories Of
the billiards of their boyhood and de-
clare that what we found this morn
ing was nothing but a furry. But
furry or not, it will do very nicely for
the majority. We have become rather
used to mild winter weather, and have
developed more or less of a distaste
for the real thing in the form of snow
storms and ~zero-marked thermometers.

EARRINGS TO BE. POPULAR.

There is no doubt that earrings are
once more receiving the sanction of the
ultra modish.
Though many women stoutly VOW
that they viii never YEA them again,
they will come around to it If the fad
attains considerable proportions.
Not only are earrings worn, but the
very long drop earrings are considered
especially chic, and during horse show
week and the first week of opera
several notable women appeared with
such long earrings in their ears.
