there 30 years ago who didn't want or

gown bordered with brown fur.
This precise costume is back in

In addition 20 this is round toque

SAVES MUCH LABOR
DISHWASHlNG MACHINE HOUSE
KEEPERS FRIEND.
Does Away with the Most Disagree
able Work of the kitchen-Also
Prevents Breakage from
Hurried Cooks.

Dishwashing is the bugbear of the>>
kitchen. Doing ones own work would
be a pleasure were it not for the in
evitable cleaning up.
Some women who cannot afford a
cook will do without a new dress in
order to pay a small girl to keep the
dishes clean after each meal Yet
this same woman would be quite hor-
rified at the thought of buying a dish
washing machine.
The modern woman has to be edu-
Gated up to the idea that it is folly to
use ones hands where a machine will
do as well. Perhaps the fault lies with
the old makes of dishwashers, which
took as long to clean as to wash the
dishes. The newest machines are sim
pie in construction, easy TO clean, and
moderate in price.
The best dishwashers are made
with a galvanized iron cylinder. into
which is fitted a cylindrical tray or
basket. The cylinder is half filled
with soapy water, which is brought to
the boiling point when the dishes are
put into the tray or basket.
There is usually a ledge for the
plates, which are stood on end, the
saucers are put next, then the cups
and finally the other dishes. All that
is necessary is to plunge the trap into
the cylinder, turn the crank a couple
of times, reverse it and the dreaded
task of dishwashing is done.
The tray is then lifted out, set on
the reversed cover and scalded with
clean boiling water, which quickly
evaporates leaving comparatively few
dishes for drying.
dishwasher not only saves time,
but prevents breakage from hurried
cooks. When a woman does her own
work not the least advantage of ma
chine dishwashing is that It pro
tects the hands from the scalding
water.
In using dishwasher as in the ordi-
nary process much depends upon
cleaning up the dishes before putting
them in water. Pans and pots should
be carefully scraped and have boiling
water put in them as soon as used
The table china should be scraped
with rubber scraper which will not
1nJure the finest ware. If possible the
refuse should be burned and it is bet
ter to do the scraping into an old
pan rather than over the sink, whose
drains may be clogged with grease.

THE DUKE AND VERA.

1t was Miss Angela Martyrs fad
to pick the most divinely beautiful
maids. Miss Martyrs latest dis
covery was-well, Titianesque. Her
bronze red coiffure would have
filled a half bushel basket, with
every strand of it fir min the scalp.
Her complexion was the cream and
pink that make a Broadway favor
lite, and her eyes were a lightsome
greenish gray, and she could use
them. Also she was of rather good
birth At times the mistress and
the maid walked together in the
park-and men looked after the
maid.
Vera Kendall had been with
Miss Martyr just week when his
grace of Kiblatz-Boklera came
looking for lowered beauty. The
duke had delightfully."- musty
name, castle haunted and more
than half torn down, and debts
that were shameful. Therefore,
Duke Nikolas came to New York.
And the first place he visited was
the home of the rich spinster, who
was 80 and not at all averse, he
understood, to an international mar
riage.
The meeting had been ar
ranged for Wednesday; but Duke
Nikolas, misunderstanding, growing
impatient, and being of rather
quixotic disposition anyhow, set out
on Monday for the house Of his
prospective, determined on intro
ducing himself. 1t happened that
the lady was very ill and Yer Kan
dali was sent downstairs to inform
his grace. Vera tripped down with
her wonderful eyes alight at the
idea of seeing a living duke.
