Dear" began the wife of the Boss of
the Establishment, with the concillating air
OF a woman trying to sugar-coat bad news,
the agent for the apartment called this
afternoon to notify the tenants that all
rents will be raised s. a month after next
October. Don't you think we had better
move?'
What for?" the Boss inquired, with
lordly unconcern. 1T would cost more
than $50 TO move and that's what the diff
ference in rent will amount to. Besides,
the place is worth 1t and the extra s. may
get rid Of the few undesirable nelghbors we
have now"
The Boss wife gasped. Whence came
this unwonted superiority to financial con-
siderauons, and whence the rarer social
discrimination in man whom even his
casual acquaintance addressed Familiarity
by his first name?
1t was the latest Of many strange symp-
toms displayed by the Boss since his early
return from the office. For at o'clock he
had burst into his home, his face wreathed
in radiant smiles still unexplained. Mirth
battled with dignity and dignity with mrth
on the countenance which preserved usually
the classic immobility of an Indian, cigar
sign
To his wife it was palpably evident that
the Boss knew it all. even though a .Roose-
veltian reserve. impelled him to give no in
dication of his exuberance save that be-
trayed by a grin every half minute an
nouncing that the world was his and
Jack Johnson's watermelon.
Just when the watermelon was to be cut
remained problematical till, following his
wife's remarks concerning their increased
al he said NTH he q
and Importance of an ancient sybil:
III things turn out as expect they will,
I'll be $75 to the good tonight, and Ill take
you out and blow you to the finest dinner
you ever tasted"
Really! exclaimed the Boss wife, de-
lightedly, for she was the sort Of young
person whose idea of a light repast con-
sists Of cold consomme, an entree, rsast
three vegetables, a side dish of beef stew,
crackers, cheese, dessert ana liqueur.
Yes" said the Boss, relaxing in sudden
relief to the revelation of the secret which
had swelled his bosom all afternoon,
when 1 picked up the pink dope sheet
this morning my eye fell straight on the
name of a horse-a rank outsider named
Biff-slated for the third race. l remem-
bered the awful bang 1 got on my fore
head last night when you asked me to get
you a glass of water and 1 collided with
the dumbwaiter door, 'Biff! Bang! 1 said
to myself, that's a bunch! I'll put S on
Biff just for luckp And 1 did"
We'll" answered the Boss wife in her
most arctic manner, Il thought you told
me this morning when l said l would like
So for my club dues that must walt till
tomorrow because you didn't have it?"
The Boss remembered the Twelfth COM
mandment, the one invented by Mr.,
Devery to the effect that those caught
with the goods mustn't squeal, and he
never turned a hair.

"ALL RIGHT" SAID THE BOSS WIFE
WHERE is THE MONEY"

That's the most astonishing part of the
whole thing" he explained. II happened
to feel in my watch pocket for a match
this morning and I found s. bill 1 had
tucked away there six months ago for
an emergency! You know, dear" he added,
automatically, you're so careless about
turning my trousers pockets inside out
for cigarette tobacco, etc, that 1 have to
tuck an odd bill away somewhere to keep
the maid or the tailor from getting it."
The Boss wife swallowed hard, though
| she didn't swallow the explanation.
Never mind, dear" she said, consol-
ingly. "Of course you've lost your IS, but
I'll lend you money \enought to last till
salary day"
Huh" said the Boss, taking the short
est distance between the dinner table and
the hat rack. Pm just going out to buy
an evening sporting edition. I'll be back
| shortly"
So the Boss wife settled down for a
long, solitary evening. About twelve
o'clock, she reflected, the Boss of the
Establishment would come in carrying ten
or dozen beers and as many excuses for
the delinquent horse, Bff
Men were such pathetic little children,
she reflected. as she sat resignediy under
the dining room lamp and darned the Boss
socks.
And then the key turned in the lock of
the front door, and, starting to her feet
she beheld the Boss; but such a secretive
4 gloomy, seemingly detected Boss.
"Cheer up, dear" she called impulsively.
IT'S only S.. We don't care, do we?"!
"Only IS, is it?" answered the Boss In
a strange, subdued tone. "Only So, Then
what do you think of that?"
The Boss wife looked up and a four
column black headline swan before her
dazzled eyes.
"Biff wins at 20 to L." she read, and
then after the manner of all romantic wives
she said: -,

Given a little ordinary care, mahogany
furniture need not be done over" in a
lifetime. But, something like the human
skin, 1t must be kept from drying Its
finish, whether 1t be varnish or wax, needs
applications to prevent it from drying, else
1t will crack or look dull. Also, and this
seems to be understood only by those who
have given careful attention to old furni-
ture, 1t must be kept clean. Dirt discolors
and Injuries, entirely preventing that even
softness of color and surface so much to be
desired.
All mahogany-once year, or twice when
Il is in constant use-shoud be rubbed
down with pumice stone and linseed oil.
One housekeeper saves any olive oil that
may have gone rancid for this purpose, for
it acts there equally well. The pumice stone
is to be ground fine,
To use, the surface is moistened with oil,
and then a wad of old, soft cloth is dipped
into the oil, then into pumice and the piece
is gone over with this roughened swab,
renewing the pumice and adding oil as it is
required to prevent scratching. Should the
cloth become too dry the finish would be
injured. To get into deep carved places a
wooden stick can be wrapped with cloth
and then dipped into the cleansing combina-
ton.
This done, there should be preparation
of one-third turpentine, one-third vinegar
and one third linseed oil. This is to be we'll
shaken, and then put on as wash, using
cloth for the purpose Every grain of
pumice must be taken off with this, and
the surface dried.
BY that time it is ready for the finishing
polish, which should be a thin liquid. II
may be a temptation to use thick one,
but be 1t remembered that any sickness

be done, as lines of tucks, hens on skirts,
etc, the work can be accomplished much
quicker and, If carefully done, quite as
effectively il the required number of
threads are drawn and the hem neatly
basted, the edge coming through the CEN
ter of the drawn threads. The tension Of
the machine is loosened, and the hem
stitched on the very edge. When the bast-
ing threads are removed the material is
held by both hands, and the body of the
garment drawn away from the hem. The
hemstiching will then look exactly like
handwork.
A simple and not at all an unpleasant
remedy for flies is sent in by an obliging
correspondent. AS such information may
be timely 1 gladly pass it on. She says:
Take common white cord and cut into
short legths. Dip these into oil of sassa-
fras. Make loop at one end and hang at
various places around the house, as upon
the chandeliers, at the windows. on the
porches and in the kitchen The flies will
not stay where the odor of the sassafras is
present"
Changeable ribbons are used a very
great deal this season. Their dainty tints
seem to suggest an echo of the popular
Persian patterns. AS hat trimming, the
changeable effects are perhaps the most
successful, seeing that the straws are in
such number OF odd shades. To try to
match the hat and trimmings or even to
find a pleasing contrast in ribbon of a
solid color is not an easy matter by any
means Here is where the changeable rib
bon comes in.
The shades are \so varied that at least
one tone will always be found to harmon
ize with the color of the straw.
Shlrtwaists of sheer batiste are to be
recommended for GOODNESS, and some very
pretty models are to be seen made up IN
this fabric. One of the most attractive, to
my thinking, is made with a yoke of fine
tucks on the shoulders, the front groups
of tucks alternating with rows Of fine
beading a wide ruffle runs down the

the wood will look worse than before any

A good polish which may be made at
home consists of an equal mixture of ben
zine, olive oil and vinegar This is to be
applied with a soft cloth and then polished
vigorously with a dry one. This polish is
explosive and must be kept from light and
heat
Few housekeepers know, but 1t Is a fact
that mixture of salt and olive oil will
remove those white stains from hard wood
which is caused by hot dishes. The dry spot
is covered thickly with salt, and as much
olive oil is poured over as the grains will
take up. This stands over night and in the
morning the discoloration should be briskly
rubbed with the mixture, which is then
wiped off. II there is still any trace OF
stain, the application is repeated, again
standing for hours.

Items Of Interest to the Women Folk

Our grandmothers used to prevent the
wearing of the bottoms of pans and kettles
by putting legs of pewter on them, and
we could make our tinware last much
longer by putting legs of solder on all that
is not TO be used on the stove. All that
Is necessary is to clean place with the
acid, melt some solder in spoon and pour
II on slowly, letting it harden until the
little knobs or legs are large enough to be
serviceabe.
The ramie linens are having great vogue
this season. A very jaunty looking suit
Of this fabric. fitting girls from Il
to Is years Of age, is made in nat
ural white, cadet blue, rose or russell
The skirt is a very smart model, combin-
ing a panel effect and deep plests, while
the coat is exceptionally stylish. The
closing is near the waist line. The shawl
collar and the cuffs are faced with black
MORE and the long slanting buttonholes
are also OF the MORE silk. Fancy braid
and buttons further decorate collar cuffs
and the patch pockets. The price is $50
one of the most effective trimmings for
motor bonnets and general outing hats are
roses made from the straw braids that are
used for covering wire hat frames.
Very often the straw comes with a draw
string, and when this is so all that Is neces-
sary Is to draw up the straw into a frill
like strand and sew 1t round In rosette
fashion.
Another pretty way of using the straw is
to roll short lengths into rose buds and

However, when the waist is too long for
the collar the latter must never be

To fit the sleeves of fine lingerie blouses
so that they will look neat and at the same
time feel comfortable is a difficult task
especially when the material is very sheer.
The one seam model is usually chosen with
the result that the sleeve Is one of two
things at the elbow-either 1t is tight and
uncomfortable, which of course lessons the
wear, or else it is baggy and unsightly. To
hit the happy medium first put on the waist
and then mark the wrinkles come when
the arm is bent. At this point set in a
group of fine pin tucks, running two or
three inches on either side of the seam.
Frills of white footing for trimming sim

A leghorn hat that has become soiled and
somewhat grimy from dust and perhaps a

shade so fashionable just now.
The trimming should be removed and the
hat subjected to thorough scrubbing OF
soap and water, adding a little ammonia
After thoroughly rinsing, the hat should
be smoothed into shape for drying and,
while still damp. be pressed with hot
iron, using a piece of muslin under the
iron. Lastly yellow oil paint is mixed with
