RENEWING RIBBONS.

You will doubtless find a great many
ribbons that are faded in spots or
streaks, SO tina no amount o. cleaning
will make them lock well, and the best
way to dispose of them Is to ave
them until you have a pound or more,
then dye them with black diamond
dye for silk.
1t makes no difference what colors
tLey are, they will be a beautiful Jet
black when done.
The best way to dry a ribbon that
has been washed or dyed is to take It
from the rinse water without wring.ng
and press it smoothly upon a clean
marble slab.
A very smooth. clean board Will do
n the marble is not at hand.
Let it stay until dry. 1t will not need
ironing, and will have a lustre like
new ribbon.
Another way is to roll it tightly
around a large rolling pin and leave K
until dry.
ironing silk Is apt to make it too
stiff. which destroys Its beauty, causing
n TO wrinkle easily.

comments, for lacking her point OF
view they fail to see the smile.
If she allows her wit to grow sharp
it degenerates into a way of rapping
her sister woman and brother mar con-
stantly. A perpetual sheer appears
Quick TO her lips, although she never
means it as a sneer. Kindness should
always temper every remark of the girl
with humor OF she will lose the love of
friends, ever though they may admire
her as brilliant and entertaining. T.;ere
will be a human note missing from her
personality or it will seem to be miss
ing, which is quite as bad.
Humor can be cruel. and certainly
nothing is more dreadful in a woman
than even a suggestion of cruelty. 1t
can also become extensively familiar,
and it Is quite likely to tend to vul-
garity unless intelligence and good
taste are always on guard.
Under no circumstances should a
woman use a comn1o expression no
matter how funny it may appear. Nor
should she tell stories that depend on
their broad atmosphere for point.
You will hear girls very often repeat
ing stories and using expressions, the
true meaning of which they do not even
understand, And they will be shocked
and hurt later on to find they have been
criticised and spoken Of slightingly by
those who misunderstood them.
Humor in a girl leads her into the
fatal mistake of too easy friendships
with men. They will venture with her
in conversation to a line they would
never dare approach with a more digni-
fled young woman.
That is the chief danger of feminine
humor. 1t lacks dignity, and while a
woman need not be a prude she must
have the instructive dignity which
wards off too-familiar speech or man,
ner on the part of the men she meets.
1t was a wise provision that denied
this sense to the mothers, wives and
sisters of the race. The Fairy God,
mother gave them instead a ar more
wonderful gift-that of intuition, which
men as a rule do not possess.

that in every large city there are many
children who go hungry to school, and
go because there Is an actual lack of
food for them. This condition is, for

it naturally becomes acute only
In the presence of poverty and ignor-
ance. especially in great cities.
While reading of our English cousins
and feeling a national pride that our
own country. does not allow a schooi
child to thus suffer and deteriorate, our
natural complacency was given a rather
rude shock by the publication of an
article by that sociologic writer, Robert
Hunter, implying that our country was
no better than England or France, and
estimating that in New York city alone
10000 children went to school hungry.
> y The exact statement made by
Hunter was that 10000 children were
found in New York schools underfed.
y = q Many thousands of little chill
dren go breakfastless to school at
times.
But the real problem, says the writer
in the Literary Digest. is much more
extensive than that. and embraces that
much more numerous class of chill
dren who are chronicaliy1 underfed,
either because their food is insufficient
In quantity, or, what is the same thing
in the end, poor in quality and lacking
in nutriment.
