PloUEs AND LINENS
REQUIRE SHRINKING

Washable summer materials will.
most of them, shrink themselves in
their own good time, and to the
wearer's everlasting discomfort, if they
are not previously shrunk. Shrinkage
requires twenty-four hours, or the
goods will not be proof against shorten
ing. This thorough moistening can best
be accomplished by soaking the goods
in a bath tub half filled with cold
water. In the case of a whole dress
length the material should be placed in
the water in it's original folds-as it
came from the shop. After it has
soaked the stated time it is hung out
to dry, stretched as smoothly along the
line as possible and suspended by the
selvedge. BY this process undue wrink-
ling is avoided, so that complete IRON
ing may not be necessary
It is absolutely necessary to shrink
pique, galatea, coarse and heavy linens
and the various linen substitutes, as
we'll as any tub materials that have
been filled with dressing.
The softer weaves, such as cotton
voiles, batiste and handkerchief linen,
do not require shrinkage, and, In fact

Etiquette for a Home Wedding
NOR a girl who has few friends, or
II limited income, home wedding

NOR q girl who has few friends, or
n a limited income, a home wedding
Il is prettier than a church cere-
mony. Incidentally much money is
needed to make the latter successful
artistically-unless the building is full
of guests. While, on the contrary, a
home service may be CHEEKY and pic
turesque, without a large expenditure.
If the room in which the ceremony is
to be performed is long one, 1t should
be so arranged that the couple may
stand at one end. If the room is
square, a better effect is gained by
using one corner.
In order that special place shall be
defined for the bride and bridegroom,
one or two large palms are necessary.
The plants height gives a nucleus
about which to build; partition, as 1t
were. Near the palms rug just large
enough for the clergyman and wedding
couple to stand on must be laid cater
cornered to the room. 1t must not be
damned against the WALL for space
must be left for the minister. Either
at the back edge of the rug, or in the
center, must be arranged something on
which the couple can kneel during a
part of the service. When this is put
down white fur rug laid over it is
effective and most practical. "
Few Flowers Are Effective
A few flowers should be put about
the room In vases and Jars, but when
money is an object 1t may be remem-
bered that few blossoms frequently
are quite as pretty as many.
At home wedding, unless 1t be a
large one, the bride rarely has more
than one attendant, and 1t is not neces-
sary that she shall have any A best
man is rather for the bridegroom for
the former is useful as we'll as orna-
mental. That is a matter, however, for
the individuals to decide.

The brides gown is also entirely a
question of individual taste, for if she
wishes, and can afford 1t, an elaborate
white satin is as appropriate for an
at home as for a church service.
If the ceremony is held in the day
the bridegroom wears a frock coat,
white waistcoat, striped trousers, a
white Ascot tie, regardless of the style
of the BRIDES costume.
The procedure of entering differs lit
tie from that followed for a church
wedding, except that the family, or
some members of it, greet the arriving
guests, If but few are invited. The
brides mother may do this, or wait
and enter the room just before her
daughter. The guests assemble infor-
mally few moments before the hour
set for the ceremony, and talk together
until the clergyman enters the room to
take his place. Immediately afterward
the bridegroom and best man are ex-
pected to go to the temporary chancel,
the way being left clear for them to do
without walking among the guests.
Once they arrive the bride comes in on
the arm of her father, or whoever is to
give her away. and goes directly to the
clergyman, as she would in church.
After that the regular routine is con-
tinued, the father standing by the
bride until he gives her away, when he
goes to place by her mother.
Etiquette at Small Wedding
At such small wedding congratula-
lions Immediately follow the ceremony
1t being taken for granted that the
guests will permit the mother and IA
Their. to be the first to greet their daugh-
ter. The bride then talks to her friends
Any refreshments served are infor-
mally arranged in the dining room, and
after they have eaten, the guests are
expected to leave. except those who
have been specially asked to stay to
see the brides departure.

are rendered almost impossible to the
sewer if deprived of every particle of
their original firmness.
There is an exceedingly necessary
little shrinking "tip" that ought to be
noised abroad for the benefit of the
many-the previous shrinking of the
skirt band for tub gowns.
Whether broad linen or cotton tape
be used, material like the gown, or
white muslin to face the skirt band,
it always must be well shrunk il the
band measurement is to be considered
final and the general hip lines of the
skirt are not to be finally ill-fitting. 1t
is a very good plan to shrink a number
of straight muslin strips or a roll of
wide tape to keep in readiness in the
sewing room.

Sailing A DIAMOND MINE.

Howard Dubois, the noted mining
engineer, told good story to the Tech
men recently, illustrating the art" of
sailing diamond mine. The story
was told Of. a man in South Africa
who, while walking one day over his
property, suggested that they assay
some of the soil.
In the search that ensued eight rough
diamonds were found. and offers began
to fly through the air at a rapid rate
for the land when the hosts wife
called curt to her husband, why,
John, where are the other two?" The
sequel OF the story was left to the
imagination. Boston Record.

CLEVER GIRLS EMBR0IDER
DAINTY DESIGNS ON HOSE

With the approach of summer and its
low shoes and pumps, women give spe-
cial thought to stockings. Every girl
loves lovely hosiery, but many find
they must be content with that love
unqualified because of the cost.
The girl who knows enough to use
her needle need not lack stockings
such as her Weather girl friends wear.
Instead of pining for hand-em broidered
footgear she buys stockings plain and
does the embroidery herself.
Nor is it hard to do. Anyone with a
knowledge of satin stitch and outlining
can achieve charming results. There
is no elaborate paraphernalia, nothing
is needed but short embroidery needles
and enough skeins of flo to work the
design chosen. A number eight between
needle can be used if regular embroid~
cry ones are not to be had
According to the weight of the stock
ing one or two threads of flo are used.
Cut the skein twice, as longer thread
is apt to tangle and is hard to unknot
on a stocking.
Even the embroiderer who does not
use a hoop will find it more conven-
tent in working stockings to do the
time gourd will answer every purpose
if one does not own bone or silver
darnfng egg.
The designs for embroidered stock
ings are not hard to find. They come
III perforated patterns, which are east
" applied with stamping outfit Such
an outfit costs but a quarter and can
be used repeatedly. 1t is invaluable
for applying original or other designs
which cannot be used with impression
paper The perforating is not hard
to do with needle.
In applying a perforated pattern to
a stocking the distributor, or small felt
or chamois-covered pad, is dipped in
equal parts of kerosene and benzine
and rubbed over the brick of color that
comes with the outfit. The perforation
is placed rough side on the stocking.
and the moist distributor is rubbed
over the smooth back of the design.

THE COMPLAINING SPANISH
LABORERS ON THE COAST
Two Hundred Families Who Complain of Hard
ships Here Get an UItimatum From the
immigration Commissioner.

Chroniele.-Forty destitute Spanish
| families now being cared for by the
Associated Charities in this city have
been given the choice of being de
ported to Spain or of returning to
work on the sugar plantations Of the
Hawaiian Islands. This was the ulti-
matum conveyed to them by United
States immigration Commissioner Hart
H. North yesterday. The returned
| Spaniards say that they were worked
fourteen hours day on the planta-
tions, and that they were obliged to
purchase the neeessaries of life from
the company stores at an exorbitant
price.
NJ. A. de Silva, an agent of the plant
ers, is in this city, herding the fug-
itives back to the Islands.
There were 700 families in all who
arrived at Honolulu from Spain on
April 90, 1907, on the steamers Luz
verie, Hellopolis and Rumeric. They
Were brought to the Islands by the
Territorial immigration Bureau, a com
mereial organization, composed of
sugar planters, who desired cheap labor
and who had sent agents to Spain and
the Azores to drum up immigrants.
There were no written contracts. but
it was understood before starting, so
the spaniards say, that they were to
receive for ten hours work a day $50
a month during the first year, $21 dur
ing the second year, and $22 during the
third year. At the end of the third
year they were to be given free of cost
the house and the little patch of land
on which they lived.
Come TO San Francisco.
Seven hundred families, amounting
to about 5000 men, women and children,
composed the first batch of immigrants
to the Islands. During the past six |
months 200 of these families have left |
the Islands and come to California |
They came without proper clothing for |
the cooler climate of San Francisco, |
and most of them without bedclothing.
They soon became burden upon

THE BRIGHT SIDE

of life. Tt is a feeling common
to the majority of us that we
do not get quite the amount of
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless things
which tend to make us more or
less miserable Ill health takes
the first place. No doubt a
crippled liver with the result
ing impure blood, is the cause of
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And who
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate of pain, loss and fear a
rising from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like a vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. Tor them life can scarce
ly be said to have any bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have not attained their high POI
sition in the confidence of the
people by bald assertions and
boasting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing
actually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves its
reputation is conceded. It is
palatable as honey and contains
all the curative properties &C
pure Cod Liver Oil, combined
with the Compound Syrup of
Hypophosphites and the Extracts
of Malt and Wild Cherry. No
thing has such record of sue
cess in Scrofula, Influenza,
Throat and Lung Troubles, and
emaciating complaints and dis
orders that tend to undermine
the foundations Of strength and
vigour. It's use helps to show
life's brighter side. Professor
Reddy, of Canada, says: g I have
much pleasure in stating that /
Eave used it in cases of debility
and found it to be a verv valu-
able remedy as well as pleasing
to take" You canDot be disaS
