HOUSEHOLD NOTES

It is well to powder the hands be- fore trying on silk gloves, as carefully as one would powder them were the gloves of kid.
 If a. garment is already wet when dipped in starch it will have more ed when dry.
 To roll up the eyes in the head is a very bad habit, and will invariably ruin the appearance and usefulness of the finest eyes.
 Hot, sunny days are just the ones for airing the blankets. The air and the sun will raise the pile and freshen the bedding wonderfully.
 A new idea is to serve a marshmal- low in cup of chocolate. It softens the marshmallow and gives a dainty flavor to the chocolate.
 One of the best ways to remove mildewed spots from white fabrics is to moisten the article well with lemon juice and cover with salt.
 Green grape and elderberry make a delicious combination for g, jelly. The proportion is twice as much of the elderberry as of the grape.
 In making cheese balls to serve with a lettuce course work Drowned nuts into the cheese and note the delicious flavor that this imparts.
 Soiled spots may be removed from white silk or satin by rubbing them with a fine flannel cloth dipped in a little alcohol or ether.
 Graham bread and brown bread are both excellent for sandwich purposes, and raisin bread, with lots of raisins in it." is a welcome change.
 When making apple or any frvA pie always place the quantity of sugar re- quired on the lower crust first and it will bake more satisfactorily.
 A tasty sandwich is made of stoned dates, to which some walnut meats have been added, the whole chopped very fine and spread thickly on the bread.
 To wash colored ribbon, make a thick lather of good, white soap and cold water. wash the ribbon, rinse sew

CLERMONT SMASHES
 INTO HALF MOON AT NAVAL PARADE

(Continued from First Page.o
 It was passing strange that the only accident of any magnitude on the opening day of the seven day cele- bration which New York had planned to commemorate the prowess of Full ton and Hudson should affect the twin stars of the performance. the Half Moon and CIermont.
 Both were in collision off the Staten Island shore as they were Haneuver- ing to take their positions at the head of the miles of craft of every descrip- ton assembled in their honor and both were damaged, but the American craft much the worst as instead of heading the parade under own steam as had been planned, she was forced to ac- cept the aid of a towline so that the hundreds of thousands of spectators who lined the harbor and river banks might not be disappointed
 While the responsibility for the ac- cfdent has not yet been placed it seems. to have been due more to the elements than to human error. Fhe Half Moon was traversing the upper bay running down to take position along the Clermont when the wind and tide carrier her against the Clermont The sailing vessel hit the steam vessel on the port side just abaft of the pad de wheel.

When the boats had been pulled apart by tugs it was found that the cutwater of the Half Moon had been jammed in nearly to the waterline but as it is perfectly ornamental, the sea- going qualities of the replica were not injured. The Clermont's rail for 15 feet abaft the paddle wheel on the port side was carried away, she had lost her deckload and the paddle box was dented and scraped. It was decided, however, that the parade should pro- ceed as planned and that both the Half Moon and the Clernont should be lowed the entire length of the route.
