ACCORDING to Taste.

According to Taste.
Discussing missionary work, Mme.
Helene Vincente, the well-known Con.
go missionary, said at a dinner in
Cleveland:
"A Chinese heaven strikes you as
ludicrous. Yet here in your own coun-
try you are careful to fit heaven and
the-er-other place to your peoples
dislikes.
''Thus, on my recent southern trip,
I heard Georgia negro divine de-
scribe hades as ice cold, place
where the wicked shiver and freeze

vine why he altered in that radical
manner the usual description OF
hades, and he replied:
"'Ah don darst tell nah people nuf.

PLAITINGS RETURN TO FAVOR,
Advent Of Fussy Dresses Of a Former
Period Are Responsible for
Revival.

The tiny knife plaitings only an
inch in width are again coming to
the front with the revival of the fussy
dresses of the 1880 period. They be-
long to the era of the little roses, mar
row fringes and puffs. The selvedge
Of chiffon cloth cut of and sent to the
plaiter's or else done with patience at
home will save the whole hemming
process. The French also double chif-
fon before 1t is plated, to avoid hem
ming. The selvedge of some silks may
be used In the same way, and when
the band of different color along the
edge happens to be in harmony or in
good contrast it has even been chosen
as decoration for the dress, and al.
lowed to 60 into the frill. Tiny knife
plaitings are made of lace insertions
because the straight edge forms a
more even line than the scallop of
lace. When insertions are used for
frills, whether gathered or plated,
they are felled to the gown so that the
pattern may not be wasted in a seam.
Taffeta ribbon, too, is frequently con-.
verted into knife plaitings.

The talk had been of Paradise
Paradise, Arizona, where Lonesome
had spent some years as cow-punch-
er and mirer before he made his
stake. In bis hand was a letter from
Big Bill Jernigan, an old comrade of
those days, now known as the Hon.
William Jernigan, member of con-
gress from the sovereign state of
Montana. Lonesome was reminiscent,
and when oLnesome is reminiscent it
behooved his friends to keep silence
and give heed. I knew my cue, and
this story was my reward:
The Hon. William Jernigan! Think
OF It! Old long-legged Big Bill Jerni-
gan! Well, there's heaps worse at
Washington. Did 1 ever tell you about
the time Bill and I made faces at each
other? Nc? 1t happened at Paradise.
You remember what Saturday was at
Paradise. Town full of punchers and
miners, the punchers and miners full
Of liquor and devilment, and the bar
tenders full of business. Bill and /
had been up all night, bucking Three
Fingered Pete's faro game, and were
far from we'll. Bill made the bets and
I played lookout for us. Things broke
bad, and along about ten o'clock in
the morning we quit and were stand

fast, and what Bill said about my
gastronomic ideas was scandalous.
Then Bill said he saw fellow in q
stock company in Denver the winter
before that was a better actor than
Edwin Booth. I never knew Edwin
Booth, but resented Bills slur on
his memory most deeply. Finally Bill
said he could rope, throw and tie
more steers in ten minutes than any
man in Arizona, and that settled 1t.

Coloring Canvas Shoes.

The matching" idea is so strong
just now that girls may like to know
that white canvas shoes may be COL
ored to match any costume The pro-
cess of dyeing will shrink the shoes,
but they may be successfully painted
with good water-color paint.
Mount the shoes on trees. If you
do not own shoe-trees, stuff the shoes
evenly with tissue paper. Then ap-
ply the paint with good-sized bristle
brush or a sponge.
Care should be taken to prepare
sufficient paint before commencing the
painting; the canvas being very ab-
sorbent, you will need generous
amount. AS an even tint depends up
on expeditions work, you can readily
see the disadvantage Of having to
stop in the midst of the operation to
mix more paint

No Need Of Interference.

The two neighbors who were pass
ing the little cottage heard sounds as
of a terrific conflict inside and
stopped to listen.
Presently they heard loud thump,
as If somebody had fallen to the floor.
"Grogan is beating his wife again!"
they said.
Bursting the door open, they rushed
into the house.
"What's the trouble here?" they de-
:nanded.
"Ther' amt no trouble, gentlemen"
calmly answered Mrs. Grogan, who
had her husband down and was sit
ting on his head, "Gwan!"

Chamois Gloves.

Chamois gloves are again gaining
popularity. They look we'll in warm
weather and are not half as extrav-
agant as kid ones. They come in
white and several shades of yellow.
The wise girl keeps two pairs of
these going at once, and each day
washes one pair that they may be dry
to wear the following day. To wash
them cold water must be used and
white soap. Warm or hot water shirv.
els and hardens them.
Put the gloves on and give them a
thorough washing as you would your
hands. Do not put them near the heat
while drying.
