Put in saucer, moisten with water to cream and place where ants are troublesome. If the water dries away add more This is said to be unfailing.
 Garden ants can be driven away bv sprinkling ashes saturated with coal oil about their haunts. Another good way is to locate their nests, place quicklime at the mouth and wash down with boiling hot water

Peach-basket hats, pill-bo1 hats, hats befeathered and below cred, but it is seldom that one sees a little old-fashioned white lace cap set on the head of a little old-fash- toned woman. One such, however, was seen the other evening, the wom- en all about who either wore their exaggerated head rear or had it, like flower gardens and miniature fruit trees of various kinds in their laps, looking over and at the sweet-faced little woman with the white hair and the fine lace cap forgi0lngly, lenient- ly, and some of them with an ad.n.r- ing smile.
