CHARACTER OF MISTRESS

any attempt at pattern. 1t is unpre-
tentious. graceful and adapted to sum-
mer use, and as a rule presents better
effects when in white or ecru than in q
positive color.
Heavy pongee silk in plain colors is an
ideal material for a well furnished sum-
mer house for use in dining or living
rooms. 1t is graceful, and the color
scheme of the wood may be carried
out in self tones, and it is what our
mothers used to characterize as nice, but
unpretentious." 1t comes under the head
of wash materials. which proves its sim
plicity, and yet, being silk, is nicer than

Madras is to be put in the same list
with silk. 1t has similar characteristics

White muslin curtains. ruffied, are dain-

used only in bedrooms. even in the sim

treated to much hand work 1t might then
be placed in reception rooms, but work
on it would not be sufficiently effective
to repay the trouble. Cheese cloth, while
equally humble to begin with. can be
treated with drawn work effects, OIL

Window draperes are indicative OF the
taste and discrimination. of the dWelier
within the house. Yet certain materials
are so positively adapted to different
types of architecture that to disregard
them is either an evidence Of Thought
lessness or bad judgment.
For example, lace. being distinctly an
elegant material. should be reserved for
stately houses whose furnishings are In
accordance The web is unsuited to a
cottage or any simple-style home, and
imitation lace all-overs should be alb
horred for such purposes. They are the
height of bad taste, because they have
not even the merit of being real. A most
artistic small house in a fashionable sub
urb Is spoiled. as far as Its living room
is concerned, by the injudlcious use OF
an imitation lace web. II Is not net.
There Is much To be said for net, but II
is emphatically an imitation. whose bad
points are accumulated by design dyed
in two different colors. The rest OF the
room furnishings are dlgnihed ana
charming. There is hardwood wainscot-
ing and a particularly effective tiled
fireplace in the shade of the wood. The
light fixtures are simple and graceful,
SO the one cheap note comes from the
hangings, of which, unfortunately, there
are many, because of the number of win
dows.
Nets are not to be COMPOUNDED with
lace. The effect Is entirely different. and
only in the shape of the mesh is there

HOW TO WASH BLANKETS
AND COMFORTS AT HOME
Ways of Cleansing Bedding, Including Quilts and
Pillows, So They Will Look New.

wool may be cleaned by the same method,
except that it may not be wise to leave
them soaking for many minutes, because
| the colors in the covering may run.
Soap too, may be rubbed directly on the
j fabric, if necessary. for cleansing.
| The last rinsing water should be cold,
and If the material has faded teaspoon
| full of ammonia may be added to the bath
| to restore the colors.
Cotton comfortables do not wash salts
factorily, because the filling knots and
| forms hard Jumps. The best plan with
| them when soiled is to hang them on a
line in a shower. then when they are dry,
recover quitting the new goods over the
old cover). There will be no real wear to
it. as the under cover holds the cotton.
Down quilts wash splendidly, but require
windy day Tor days. for their drying.
for when so treated they will be as light
and fluffy as new. They are washed in
the same way as directed for the wool
filled comfortables.
AS the edges of down quilts soil first, it
is good plan to bind them either with a
in the predominating color of the spread,
getting the kind that will wash, or strip
of wash silk. This is easily removed and
replaced If only the edges are soiled. the
band may be used to conceal them. wait
ing a longer time before washing the
cover.
Quilts and comfortables are best hung
on the line singly, so when the line is
not sufficiently high from the ground, two
may be used, and the quilt spread out or
hung between the two lines as is conven-
lent These articles will not dry when
doubled. so it is of no use to try. The air
must circulate around them, hence the
reason for hanging them singly.
Pillows may be washed just as they are
used. so if the ticking is good and only
soiled. they may be renewed without re-
ticking.
To cleanse. a strong hot suds should be
made. hotter than the bath for washing
blankets and the pillows immersed. They
may be soaped all over and allowed to
| remain some time entirely covered with
the water. They should then be soused UP
and down until clean and afterward
rinsed in several waters, changing gradu-
ally from hot to cold
| OF course, pillows cannot stand much
wringng: therefore they must drip when
pinned on the line and must be securely
| fastened using several clothespins.
After several hours, the pillows should
be taken down and pinned up again at the
| opposite end.
| If this is done frequently. the drying
process will be quicker as well as more
even.

Bed furnishings, such as blankets, COM
fortables. quilts. pillows, ETC.. may be
cleansed at home with success if one Is
willing to give plenty of time and care
to the process. To send such articles to a
professional costs considerable money, and
incidentally one cannot be sure they are
then done thoroughly and without injury
to the fabrics, for professionals use chemi-
calls to facilitate the cleansing, and these
frequently have tendency to weaken the
threads, SO the articles later do not give
the service they should.
To wash blankets one should commence
operations the day before by cutting one
or two pieces of SOAP, as considered nee
essary. and dissolving into jelly with
hot water. Next day it will be ready for
use, and sufficient should be added to the
tub of warm water to make a good suds.
Borax may be added If the water is hard
The blankets should remain In the bath
for half an hour or more. the lid of the
tub closed to keep the water warm. Incl
dentally the warm water should not be al
lowed to get cold If wooden goods of any
kind are soaking.
After the soaking souse up and down IN
the water, rubbing any soils with the
hands. Do not use board, because rub
bling on a board knots together the little
hairs that stand out In wOolens, and this
causes shrinkage. Rubbing soap directly
on woolens has the same disastrous ef-
feet: the soap mats the hairs.
When clean the blankets should be
wrung and placed in a second bath OF
soapy water and squeezed thoroughly
Rinse in warm water, adding borax. and
hang to dry in the sun and air. Then the
blankets should be soft and white when
dry They should not be put away for a
day or so. but should be placed on chairs
and around the house until bone dry.
Blankets should hang doubled over the
line to dry Some women run strip OF
white goods the length of the blanket be-
tween it and the clothespins. This pre-
vents marks from the latter showing, but
II is by no means necessary, as a Sood
blowing will soon cause them to dlsap-
pear Clothespins, however, must be
thoroughly clean.
Before the blankets are dry they should
be taken from the line and re-hung by the
selvadges at the ends and by one selvadge
between these points. When dry, they
can be changed, folded. ETC.. as seems to
be practicable, facing the sun.

in the beleaguered city were typical OF
the time and the bravery OF southern
women.
When Sherman burned Columbia. S. c.,
Mrs Thelin, then only young girl, car
ried Confederate flag out of the doomed
city. 1t was Entrusted to her by Gen
Bradley T. Johnston. and she bore IL

Dies With Gas Turned On.

RICHMOND. Va. August 3.-The body
of James Alexander Bagby was found by
his brother. Brandt Bagby. in the front
parlor of his home here yesterday. The
room was filled with gas. A burnt match
and an unlighted one were found near the
body.
The theory of the tragedy is that Bagby
attempted to light the gas and fell to the
floor before he was able to do so. None
of his friends or relatives believe it was a
case of suicide, for his family life was
happy, and there was no known reason
for any suicidal act. Bagby had evidently
been dead for some time. He was in the
lower part of the house alone, for his
wife and four children were at Rock
Castle, Goochland county, on a visit.

The Still Small Voice.

There is a mandate which warns
US against receiving the grace of God
in vain. We receive it in vain when
we make nothing of it, when we al
low it to die in our hearts and yield
nc strength; when we take Gods
comfort, yet refuse to be comforted
by it; when we hear Gods calls and
do not obey them; when we feel the
strivings of His Spirit and do not
submit; when the still small voice
whispers its divine inspiration in our
soul, yet we pay no heed. We re-
ceive grace not in vain when it sinks
into our hearts, like the dew into the
bosom of the thirsty flower, and re-
wives our life; when we accept the
divine consolation as a benediction of
peace to the troubled heart and are
comforted; when we take the strength
of God into our life and grow strong
and know the blessing of all the full
ness of God.
