HOW TO WASH HAIRBRUSHES.
There is really an art in the proper
Of hairbrushes. The best
brushes may be ruined by careless
washing. and IL the bristles are al
lowed to become soft a hairbrush be-
comes practically useless for its in
tended purposes. Many people cleanse
hairbrushes by covering them with
wheaton flour and simply rubbing the
bristles together. This method, how
ever, is not thoroughly satisfactory.
To keep your brushes in good condi-
tion proceed I'm the following manner;
Have two shallow dishes. one of mod
erately hot. the other of cold water
TO the first dish. which contains. say,
a quart of water. add a dessertspoon-
ful of ammonia. Now take your
brushes, one by one, and keep dipping
the bristles up and down in the water,
being careful not TO wet the backs, and
in a minute or two the dirt and dust
viii come out of them as If by magic,
leaving them beautifully white. Now
dip up and down several times in the
second dish. containing the clear wa
ter, to rinse them, shake well and
place to drain across a rack or towel

bing with the hands. II you adopt this
method Of cleansing your brushes you

DUCHESS oUTwITTED DRESS.
MAKER,

The problem Of the dressmalxor was
just as acute one. two or three cen
turies ago as It is today, and il was
just as likely to break out in various
forms. Thus the Duchess OF Devon
shire, given in all her loveliness Ia
posterity by Gainsborough. had ono
experience with her dressmaker I'm
which she came out the victor. The
duchess sent brocade TO the dress-
maker, a Mrs. Buda, and when the
dress was delivered the duchess oh
served the thrifty Mrs. Buda had used
her scissors so as to save a couple of
yards of the rich material for herself
The duchess thought the situation over
and finally decided upon a plan OF
action. She professed to admire a ring
the dressmaker was wearing and re-
quested that it be lent 10 her that she
might have it copied by her jeweler.
She held the ring a month; then. when
there was no sign of the brocade being
returned, she sent word she would hold
the ring as a pledge until such time as
Mrs. Buda produced the brocade or
sent cash for It. The drcssmaker did
not delay for she could not afford 10
lose the duchess as a customer. She
hurried over with the brocade and the
duchess did not spare sarcasm in COM
menting on the incident.

travellers. gay colorec ldmono, such
as one would wear at home, is hardly
the thing TO walk down tie corridors

wreck or accident the dark slumber

ment on the bright lined nondescript
visions usually seen on such occasions.
Other conveniences for the traveller
consist in an air cushion which can
easily be inflated and which has made
more comfortable many a hard chair

bags, notably one that opens in two
sections instead OF one.

TAKE CARE OF THEM.

Some people seem TO have the lSnaclx
Of making their clothes last longer
than others, but it is generally because
they have learned to take care of
them.
When you take off your frock at
night hang it up at once; never throw
it over the back of a chair Brush
your hat and put it away in a box;
don't leave 1t on the bed. Smooth
your gloves carefully out instead of
rolling them into a ball. Don't toss
your veil into a drawer. but fold it up
and pin it together. Take care of all
your clothes I'm the same way, and if
you have never tried the plan before
you viii probably bo surprised to find
what a difference it makes In their

Women should be better convo-sa-
tionalists thaa men from the voice
point OF view. It is usually believed
that the mustache impedes the speech;
il renders II less distinct and you win
notice that many clever lawyers,
clcrgymen and others whose vocation
demands constant and distinct talking
shave of the mustache. Women are
naturally free from these impediments
Furthermore, woman's voice IS by
nature softer than that OF a man. 1t
is woman's duty 10 exercise a rofin-
ing and softening influence. and one
way TO carry out that duty Is to culti-
vate a conversational style Of talking
In other words. TO make 'her voice as
