IN THE BAGGAGE ROOM

There was a large pile of luggage in
the baggage room awaiting transporta-
ton. For several hours silence reigned,
and then on a sudden a deep sigh was
heard over in one corner. 1t seemed to
come from large Saratoga trunk that
stood there. 1t was so pathetic sigh
that the sympathetic suit case standing
by inquired as to the reason for 1t.
Il am very much worried" replied
the Saratoga. I'm afraid l shall be

journey"
Really? That's too bad" said the
suit case. what makes you feel that
way?"
"I was strapped before I started"
said the Saratoga.
p ooh, well, never mind" said the
kindly suit case. "If worst comes to
the worst, you can get your check
cashed."
"How's everything over in London,
old MANI" asked the hat box a few
moments later, addressing the steam
er trunk.
"How should I know?" returned the
steamer trunk. I've never been to

"But you have a Hotel Gastropole

scornfully.

" OWEVER much a girl may dis
like dish washing, she need not
IL evade it because she thinks it
will hurt her hands, for even the hot
test water and strong soap will do no
damage If little before and after"
treatment is taken.
The object to be attained is to pre-
vent laundry soap from drying the
skin, making innumerable, almost in
visible, cracks. Small as these are,
they are still sufficiently deep to catch
and hold dust, making a grimy aspect.
This same condition will result from
the use of any soap that has too much
alkali, even though one does no house
work. The counter irritant in either
case is grease. Greasy water is not
the same thing, however.
One who must wash dishes regularly
should keep a large jar of cold cream,
a nail brush and a nail stick, with a
bit Of absorbent cotton, at the sink. A
cream admirably suited to the purpose
is made from two ounces each Of rose
water and almond oil, and half an
ounce each of white wax and sperma-
ceti. It is made by breaking the two
last into small pieces and putting them
into a cup set into boiling water. AS
soon as the pieces soften the almond
oil is added and the cup is then re-
moved from the bath. The rose water
Is beaten in slowly, using a silver fork.
If the cream begins to harden before
all the sweet water is in the cup
must be returned to the bath for a

ARBITRATION

He was a man of peace, and he came
upon two youths In back street fight
ing. Accordingly he pushed through
the crowd and persuaded the combat
ants to desist.
"Let me beg of you, my good fell
lows" earnestly besought the peace
maker. "to settle your dispute ~ ar
bitration. Each of you choose half
dozen friends to arbitrate."
''Hurrah!" yelled the crowd. 10
as the gentleman says, boys"
Having seen the twelve arbitrators
selected to the satisfaction of both
sides the man of peace went on his
wav rejoicing in the thought of having
once again prevailed upon brute force
to Weld to peaceful argument.
Half an hour later he returned that
way and was Mortified to find the whole
street fighting, while in the distance
police whistles could be heard blowing
and police rushing to the spot from all
quarters.
"Good gracious! What is the matter,
now?" asked the peacemaker of an on
locker.
"Shure, sor," was the reply, "the ar
bitrators are at work.

USEFUL, BUT DISAGREEABLE

"Now that the Tomkinses have
moved" remarked Mrs. Harkins, as
she poured Mr.. Harkins his second
cup of coffee, II suppose we can count
upon having some peace and quiet in
the neighborhood. I'm really sorry to
say it, but I was glad to see the last
of the moving van"
"Why so?" asked Mr.. Harkins pres
emily; and his wife looked at him with
an expression that said plainly enough
that she regarded the question as an
affectation.
MIR Tompkins was so cantanker-
ous," she explained promptly Il al
constantly, just to catch us doing
something that he might consider OBJ
jectionable."
"I don't doubt but he was" agreed
her husband. 'I believe it was Tomp-
kins who made such a fuss over the
Smith graphophone, wasn't t?"
yes. They played the thing all day
and half the night. 1t was like living
next door to a permanent circus"
II remember" said Mr.. Tompkins,
reminiscently. "And then there was
the rusty ventilator on Brainard's sta
ble How it did squeak! Tompkins
was the chap who finally made them
oil 1t, wasn't he?"
Nobody else could have made them
oil it," said Mrs. Harkins. you
wouldn't even expostulate."
mo I hate to eXpostulate. And
then there was that mournful dog just
round the corner. How he used to howl
at night! What has become of him,
1 wonder?"
"Mr. Tompkins went to the police
about it." replied his wife promptly.
did he? Made himself disagreeable,
as usual-and the dog stopped howl
ing. Then there was that gang of boys
who used to play ball in the street."
Mrs. Harkins laid down her knife and
fork.
II know what you mean," she said,
"but I never did like that man Tomp-
kins."
Neither did I, my DEAR" said her
husband, with a sigh "but for all that
I can't help wondering if this neigh

from him."-From the Youths Com

taught In the schools in Manila,
spending her vacations of several
months each year in trips to Hawaii,

lights on the two voyages she has

used with them. Hungarian embroid-
cries are again shown among the

among favorite gifts for Christmas and
it is almost impossible for the stores
to keep a supply on hand. Statesmen
at the largest stores told me that they
were compelled to take orders and sup
ply the customers as the pillows came
in, so great was the demand.
The new silk blankets for couch COW

most expensive. They are light In

AS soon as the last dish is washed

The nails must then be brushed and

This bath Is for the purpose of re-

cream is rubbed over the hands and
nails, using 1t as though 1t were soap.

care must be taken that all surface

soon become soiled. If friction is done
with a soft towel and all parts of the

same time the pores will have been
filled with a preparation that prevents
damage from the work.

THE BOYS oF The PRESS

Quiet, keen makers of history, these;
Steel at their labor; wax at their ease;
Helping the world to roll round to the light
out of its shadow of chaos and night;
Makers of statesmen and builders Of truth,
Cleaned with the glory and freshness Of
youth;
Bringing the doers of evil to feel
The force of the pen and the flame of its steel.
Ho! for the boys OF the press, whose task
Is always to render and seldom to ask
watchmen on towers Of the time, who behold
The ultimate evils that creep In the fold;
Guarding the public, with thunder of song,
From fangs Of the wicked and tricks of the
wrong;
Tireless and sleepless. and climbing to life
With smiles and with cheers through the
shadow and strife.
Earnest and patient and true to their trust,
Forward to battle when swords leap from rust
First in calamity, telling TIE land
The need for the help of its heart and Its
hand;
Modest, fine fellows and real men at heart,
Conscious of duty, and doing their part;
Hail to them, peace to them-honor and bless
The brain and the Drawn of the boys of the

Two persons should stretch the long
table cloths and place on line, hang
ing them perfectly even. In ironing
they must be rather damp. Fold side
to side with one seam only. Iron per-
fectly dry until gloss appears. They
must not be starched, since good linen
is stiff enough when properly ironed
Hang the pieces over a rod where they
hang perfectly straight and allow to
dry before they are put away. Now
would you know why it is that some
women have their table linen always
looking new? 1t is done in folding the
ironed pieces. Boards such as are used
to fold dress goods on is what you Will
need. Cover the pieces with any old

T MATTERS not how neatly one
may have the table arranged, If the
l. table linen is not spotlessly white
the appearance is marred by the defect.
Care must be taken of fine table linen,
or it soon gets the yellow dip so
much dreaded by careful housewives.
The first mistake is made by throwing
the tablecloth in the laundry bag with
napkins which are damp, and they al
ways are when finger bowls are used.
Each piece should be dried and stains
removed for placing them away for
washing. To properly wash them, they
cannot be made pure and white If
placed with the other clothes. This is
a warning to heed. Soak the linen in
tepid water for three-quarters of an
hour, and always wiring the pieces by
hand, for wringer creases do not come
out at times even under a heavy hot
iron. Next put the clothes in a good
