How "OId Homestead'' Is Produced.
When the curtain rises on the first act
OF 'The Old Homestead there comes
waiting over the footlights the sweet and
wholesome fragrance Of a pure New Eng
land home, the sunlight Of an honest,
upright character, reflected in the dear
old Yankee farmer. And mingled with
this delightful and inspiring atmosphere
OF country life is genuine strain Of
American humor, as racy Of the soil as
are the characters themselves in 1.-THE
Old Homestead" What need is there to
say more in connection with the forth
coming engagement OF this perennial
favorite, which is in its twenty-fourth sea-
son, and is as pleasant today as ever.
There are Cy Prime, "nigh onto
eighty" and Seth Perkins, the two
'boys" who frolic like kittens and
never grow old; Aunt Matilda, Rickety
Ann, the Ganzey boy, the "gentleman"
tramp and the rest. How well they
harmoDize in the family group, as, after
the pathetic search OF Uncle Josh for his
hayward son amid the enticing fascina-
tions OF the metropolis, they all gather
around the freside.
II Is gratifying to know that Mr..
thompson will bring complete produc-
tlon and an excellent company. All the
familiar scenes that have made the per-
formance so attractive in the past will
be seen in their characteristic picturesque
ness and will include the "Old Home
stead' farm in its summer garb, the
striking reproduction Of Grace church,
New York, by moonlight, and the typical
farmhouse kitchen where Reuben's
friends are gathered TO meet him on his
return.

HOMEMADE CLUES
THAT WILL MEND

Accidents will happen, even in the
most methodical households, and so d
cherished cup or dish is frequently
broken. But there are numbers Of pre-
pared cements, ETC., for repairing
cracked china, so that even though the
article may lose it's usefulness, it may
be ornamental If these Clues are not
in the house at the time the breakage
occurs, valuable pieces are often neg
lected and later thrown away.
And all this waste because simple
home remedies, such as a mixture of
eggs and flour, are not generally known
to housewives.
The edges to be joined with this
paste must be washed clean before
sticking them together. This is abso
lutely necessary, for If foreign matter
clings the pieces will not hold together.
Another condition Is that the edges
must be dry before applying the glue
to the broken pieces.
A cup or a plate broken in two, or
even three pieces, may be made whole
again by using this paste made from
the egg and flour. To prepare, slightly
heat the egg, then add the flour, until
thin paste is formed.
Lay this glue on the broken edges
with the fingers, then press the por-
tons together and leave until dry.
Thin rubber bands, placed over the
mended article while it is drying, will
often make the mendipg more secure.
Next day the vessel will be firm, and
any super1uity of paste may be easily
washed off.
1t may happen that a good piece Of
china is thrown away because 1t has
broken in so many pieces that it seems
impossible to mend, because as soon as
one piece is cemented in place it is
sure to slip when the next fragment
is fitted to it.
To take a day for every piece would
be tedious work, and the paste dries 80
quickly fresh would have to be made
every time as the work progressed. But
If the broken article has value in the
owners eyes 1t may be mended in this
way, though l do not promise that it
will serve practical purposes again. "A
simple device, which prevents the
pieces from slipping as each is added,
may be used. 1t is done in this way:
Having fitted the first piece in position
with the flour and egg paste, thick
layer of candle grease Is dropped on
the back in the opposite direction to
that in which the crack runs. This
keeps it in place while the next piece
is adjusted, and when that Is safely ce-
mented 1t is treated in the same way
with the candle grease, going on until
the last piece is in place.
When the article Is finished 1t is left
to dry just as it is, and when the ce-
ment has thoroughly hardened the
grease may be easily removed.
When 1t comes to the question Of
mending glass, II the article Is valu-
able, such as cut glass, 1t is better to
send it to a professional, who will rivet
the pieces together. know Of no home
remedy that is really practical for
mending glass.-Elizabeth Lee,

Care for Clothes Profitable

A GIRL who cares properly for her
~ clothes can make them last weeks
IA longer and, incidentally, keep them
looking better by brushing and hang
ing them so they will not get I'M
shapely. This treatment is especially
necessary with directoire frocks, for
unless adjusted when, not being worn
they soon. take on an appearance of
age.
No gown should be put away with
out a brushing. Dust, If allowed to
remain in the weave, makes the ma
terial rusty. Mud also weakens the
threads. AS wet mud is almost i'm
possible to remove, the garment spotted
should be put on a hanger and left in
room where the air will strike it,
Drying quickly, the mud must be re-
moved with brush that is not too stiff
to wear the nap. Sometimes, when the
dirt clings obstinately, it is well to rub
the material together, for this loosens
the particles without roughing the sur
face.
If there is a trimming of silk or
satin, it should be wiped lightly with
bit of soft flannel. The drop skirt
must also be brushed. The gown, then
ready to be put away, should be placed
on a hanger without a crease in the
shoulders and with the skirt folds
hanging as intended. In this arrange
ment the frock is placed in its closet.
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1909-07-28

Hats would not look dingy by the
middlev of the season if they were
freshened each time before being put
away. Feathers should be shaken and
quilts wiped. Ribbons or other loops
require brushing and patting to bring
them into shape. These aids" take
but a moment and they make a de-
cided difference in the wearing quail
ties. A bottle of gasoline or some
patent cleansing fluid is indispensable
to the girl who wants her clothes to
look neat.
No dress collar no matter how deli
cate the material, should be allowed to
become soiled, and 1t is bound to, if
not cared for properly. About every
other time, after wearing, the edge
should be wiped with a cleansing fluid,
the latter applied with a piece of soft
cloth.
Chiffon or the stoutest material will
take this and come forth from the rub
bling like new. Lace of almost all kinds
is better cleansed with soap and water,
putting the collar down on a fiat sur
face, with towel beneath to absorb
the soiled water. The brush, wet and
soaped, is then run to and fro over the
soil, the collar rinsed by letting warm
water run over it, is, pulled into shape
and hung up to dry in such a position
as to allow the moisture to drip out,
and not down over the garment.

Try Rest Cure for Nervousness

nerves sake, If she tries hard enough;
there are few who will not forget the
word nerves" If the effort be made
and adhered to.
Another source of nervousness is
wasted energy The woman who can
least spare energy is most wasteful of
It, She uses up her nerve force with
all sorts of useless movements. Still
ness is torture and if she is not kick
ing her foot, she taps with her hand or
moves her head restlessly from side to
side.
Even more wasteful is she of her
mentality. She frets herself needlessly,
deliberately forces her brain to work
when physically exhausted, and does
not realize that an overworked brain
reacts quickly on the nervous system.
An overworked stomach Is another
sources of nervousness. The woman
who is careful of her diet rarely is a
neuresthenic.
An overworked tongue is equally bad
for the nerves.. There is a famous
specialist who prescribes silence for
hours at time for his women patients.
What is more trying than the woman
who talks against time or who giggles
necessarily? Yet annoying as she is,
she is infinitely worse on her own nerv-
Gus system than on ours.
Don't take medicine if you are nerv-
Gus, any more than you can help, but
take pains to rest all you can, to learn
to keep quiet mentally and physically

SELECTING FRUIT

Many housekeepers who can tell at
a glance what is a tender, juicy cut OF
beef and what not, who can detect the
hardened old barnyard veteran in what
the butcher calls roasting fowl, fail
in another important branch of mar
keting. They are VIGOROUSLY bad
choosers of fruit.
Berries which looked we'll enough on
the market stall prove stale and Shiny
at the dinner or breakfast table. Mel
ons and cucumbers, outwardly deli
cious, when opened prove to be whited
sepulchers. Oranges and grapefruit
are frequently overripe and peaches
green.
The wise selection Of fruit is both
an art and matter of experience, not
to be mastered in a single day. On the
other hand, there are many little points
which, II observed, not only make the
chances better of obtaining what one
wants, but which train the beginner
to distinguish good from bad
The two prime tests are weight and
fragrance. Ripe fruit has fresh, ripe
odor which is easily recognized when
attention is brought to bear on it. Ber-
ries, for example, lose this sweet aro-
ma on growing stale, and any that are
found to be without 1t should be re-
garded with suspicion. Ripe peaches,
oranges, lemons, pears, cantaloupes,
etc, are also subtly fragrant
Weight is another excellent test.
This applies to the various kinds of
melons, to grapefruit and oranges. IL
light. beware of them. They are either
unripe and pithy or dry and juiceless.
