PIN BALL DAY.

Newburyport, Mass, has a Pin-ball
day for the benefit of charity instead
of Tag day. The Bulletin sees in
it something better. 1t is not game
but business; and it does seem alb
surd to attempt to make a game OF
the raising of funds for charitable
purposes.
We all know the Pin-ball when we
see it. and recognize that it is a
mighty handy and useful thing for
a benedict or a bachelor to have in
his pocket, as well as for a woman or
maid to have in her work basket.
Though little thing, it is a great
emergency dependence. 1t invites
patronage because it is something
everybody can find a use for.
OF course. everybody uses pins and
there are times when a pin is of more
importance than a dollar. 1t is an
implement of large responsibilities like
the suspender button and never ought
to be scarce any more than matches.
Pin ball day ought to knock Tag-day

SWEET LAVENDER.

An old fashion that deserves the re-
vival it seems to be having Is the use
of lavender. Lavender. sweet laven-
der" used to be carried about the
streets in English towns. and is be-
ginning to be sold again. both in Lon
don and New York
Laid away between the folds OF
clothing, lavender, II is said, will keep
out the moths. and how much pleas
anter the scent Is than the smell Of
moth ballsl Some women make
quaint little bags to put the dried
lavender leaves in. The bags may be
embroidered In cross stitch, In designs
showing baskets flled with bright
flowers, wreaths inclosing A name, a
monogram or a motto. or spray Of
violets.
A delightful toilet water is made OF
white wine vinegar and lavender flow
ers. Steep the lavender, handfuls of
1t, in the vinegar, using stone jars.
Keep the jars for three days in a mod
erately warm place on the stove, after
which strain and bottle.

WHAT THEY BELIEVE.

There is no north and no south
east or west, when it comes to this
Polar issue. We clip this from the
Charleston News and Courier:
I'VE believe that both DIR. Cook and
Commander Peary reached the North
pole. DIR. Cook, at least, is behaving
as if he was sure of his ground, and
if the dispatches credited to him be
true, Commander Peary is behaving
like a spoiled child. There has beer
nothing finer than DIR. Cooks splendid
poise so far in the controversy"
This is fair reflection of what the
country in general feels with refer
ence to the issue. When Commander
Peary reaches New York his Lam
ness is going to shrink worse than the
corn crop estimate has since July. His
apparent jealousy and unrighteous
zeal TO crush man of equal bravery
and better balance has surprised the
country. He is expecting too much
and will be doomed to bitter disap-
pointment.

A SET OF BUSTERS.

One of the most practical gifts a
BRIDE to-be can have is a set of DUST
ers. A Newark girl counts among the
treasures of her chest just such gift
from one of her school friends, and as
she has shown the collection to her
friends, the idea has been seized up
on by others. There are six busters
for fine, highly polished furniture and
dainty bric-a- brac; there are cheese
cloth busters for more ordinary dust
ing, and heavy cotton flannel busters
are included for the main purpose of
wiping up dusty floors. Large squares
Of cheesecloth, made double, are de-
signed to be fastened in the long
wooden handles provided with a
clamp; they will do service in wip-
ing tops Of doors and windows. The
silk busters may be made of any kind
of soft siik-pongee is excellent, and
so is China or wash silk. The Newark
bride-to-be has been given several
bags as WELL so that the busters may
always be in their proper places.

Picked Salmon.

Take a fine fresh salmon and, hav-
ing cleaned it, cut it into large pieces
and boil it in sailed water as if for
eating. Then drain it, wrap 1t In a
dry cloth and set 1t in a cool place till
next day Then make the pickle,
which must be in proportion to the
quantity Of fish. To one quart of
water in which the salmon was boil
ed allow two quarts of the best vine
gar one ounce of whole black pepper,
one nutmeg grated and dozen blades
of mace. Boil all these together in a
kettle closely covered to prevent the
flavor from evaporsting. When the
vinegar thus prepared is quite cold.
pour 1t over the salmon and put on
the top a tablespoonful of sweet oil,
which will make it keep longer. Cover
H. cloSaly, put it in a dry, cool place
and it will be good for many months.

Careful Dressing Necessary.

Careful dressing. the absence Of
gaudy colors, extra big hats and jang-
ling jewelry are evidence of good
taste that Is never overlooked.
A low voice is a charm that is new
er ignored, and the use of good Eng
lish in place of slang will win many a
heart.
So. after all. IT is really the incon-
spicuous girl who wiEs the real adj
nriration, and the noisy, slangy over
dressed woman mars her own life by
her habits.
Remember Shakespeare's words and
never do
Such an act
That slurs the grace and blush OF
modesty"

ECONOMY \oF TIME is LABOR
SAVER.

Economy means more than frugality
IN money matters; 1t means also
thriftiness in the use of time.
To waste time is often quite as ex-
pensive as to waste pennies.
System is the secret of all time
economy. 4 The woman who has IL
FORCES steadily ahead, and she who is
lacking in this not only falls to win
out, but loses nerves and health into
the bargain.
There are some women who are born
cavaliers. They stop to read the pa
per in the midst of the breakfast
dishes and sit down to talk with tho
things all upset around them. Others,
too, do not understand the value OF
concentration and perform one task
with their minds on another, so that II
takes them twice as long.
But perhaps the greatest thief OF
strength and time is Inconvenience of
arrangement.

Should there still be a pendent, loose
end under the chin, give 1t a little
twist and turn, it under. The veil holds
smoothly in place, is much more be-
coming and does not come loose until
the veil is removed.
AS this twisting usually comes In
the same place, it does not stretch the
lower edge of the veil as much as one
would suspect. Even though it does,
a slight unevenness when the veil Is or
is much better than lack of trimness
when worn.

AN ATTRACTIVE SALAD.

The yellow tomato looks attractive
in a salad, and, of course is as good
for the purpose as the red tomato.
Dip several yellow tomatoes into boil
ing water Then pull off the skins.
Chill them, after dipping each into
French dressing. To chill properly,
place them on a plate on a cake of ice.
Merely putting them in the lower part
of the refrigerator will not give them
the right degree of coldmess. Arrange
