Hints

If the embroidery on petticoat be- comes worn cut off the ragged edge and substitute a two-inch hem of plain ma terial like the skirt.
 Here Is a hint worth while passing along, such as embroidery on under clothes, or lace on waists. Button hole stitch the edges together with stitches set as closely as in making a fine buttonhole; this makes a much nicer finish than a French seam.
 Sew a button on neck band of shirt waist at back instead of making a but tonhole there Have the button size of collar stud. It will always be where it is wanted and will not press on the neck as a collar button does.
 An easy way to keep silver bright is to moisten a small sponge with water and after rubbing 1t full of silver powder let 1t dry; then when washing dishes use the sponge just as it is to rub over any silver which needs clean ing, leaving the silver damp. In this way the small pieces may be kept in good condition with very little work.

sOlute honesty and unspoted charac-
ter. which Mrs. Tucker had observed
and admired during this young mans
service as her representative in all her
matters Of business. That honesty

than in this instance.
A picture Of Mr.. Durfey Is pre-
scented with this brief statement of the
remarkable trust that has been re-
posed in him. He was BORN in Will
mington December %, 1882, and
early in life his family removed to
Wilson, where he attended the grad
ed schools. Ten years s he felt
that q better opportunity might be
presented him in Raleigh, as he must
enter his career without capital, and
he came to Raleigh, clerking In d
store two years. Mrs. Tucker one day
asked a gentleman where she might
find a young man to collect for her.
saying she desired one who was hon
est, capable and reliable. She was
referred by his Sunday School teacher
to young Durfey, who accepted the DO-
sition. and from the beginning he rose
steadily and rapidly to the most i'm
portant position Mrs. Tucker had
to beStoW. Fol the past two years
he managed her business affairs prac-
ticaify alone. Mrs. Tucker having been
out Of the city Il great part of the
time, and it was with signal ability
that he assumed charge and directed
the management.
1t would be difficult to name some
manner Of business that Mrs. Tucker
was not interested in in Raleigh. It
