ing board is covered first with a
heavy flannel and afterward with a
spotlessly clean piece of white cloth.
An iron is kept especially for this
work, and usually this is some patent
affair either for electricity or alcohol.
To do this all properly will take an
hour or more of madam's time; but
she feels herself more than repaid for
that by the results seen. The little
pile of handkerchiefs will come from
her hands as if fresh from the shelves
of shop, and they will have the deli
cate fragrance of having lain In a
violet sachet. Anything daintier and
more satisfying to the eye it would be
hard to imagine, and any woman who
cares for these pretty trifies could not
help but take certain amount of
pleasure in this kind of work.

LITTLE POINTS THAT COUNT
Details Making for Neatness and Du-
rabiIity Worth Remembering
by the Amateur.

Neatness is always a requisite of
good sewing, and besides the fact that
durability is increased, there is a sat
of garment need not be withheld
from a critical eye. Binding the seams
is little thing, but most effectual in
the attainment of the neatness that
marks the careful sewer.
If it is difficult to adjust binding.
the edges of seams can be pinked-a
method in favor with tailors. There
is no fraying of the edges, and the
bulky line is obviated.
Hens of heavy material can be sue
cessfully and neatly finished il the
raw edge of just one turn be stitched
down underneath a pliable tape Of the
same color. Two rows of stitching
are necessary, but the scheme is
worth trial.
If bias strip is used for binding
armholes or seams, it can be adjusted
easily and evenly if it be creased in
the center before it is placed on the
| edge of the seam.
When attaching collar, never al
low any fulness at the back of the
bodice, unless, of course, there is reg.
ular gathering If by any chance the
collar line of the bodice has stretched
hold 1t to the straight collar, allow.
ing the extra fulness to be disposed OF
from the front edge to the shoulder
seam.
When cutting very sheer chiffons
batiste or soft materials it is we'll to
draw a thread as a guide line.
1t is better to shrink washable ma
terials before making them into gar.
ments. A little salt in the water will
set the color, and it is only necessary
to wiring out and hang by the sci.
wage on the line,
When fastening dress at the lack,
it should be hooked from right to left.
1t is always advisable to hold all full
MSS, whether it be of the sleeves or
the skirtband, toward the person
when sewing it to plain material
Skirt brafds OF worsted or mohair
should be shrunken before they are
sewn to the skirt. The main point to
remember is to hold the braid fiat
and to sew the top edge with fine hem
stitches.

No one can ever make good by ma
king bad.
A soft answer turneth away dis.
couragement.
Tomorrow never comes; neither
does yesterday.
There are no great men, in their
own estimation.
Lots of good advice is wasted simply
because it is free.
Time will tell, and therefore time
must, of course, be feminine.
Some folks put their shoulders to
the wheel and then don't push.
Although actions speak louder than
words they can't be heard so dis
tinctly.
If a man was made to mourn. %
then woman was made to make him

by w. w. Smith, who is called the
statistician of the town. Smith has
recently published book entitled
"The True Record Of Owensville" in
which is found births, deaths, mar
riages, accidents and the like for the
past year. Up to the time the book
was published the town people found
a great many things to gossip about,
but now instead of gossiping, they go
to the book and find out what they
want to know about anything that
has happened in the town for the
past year.
Mr. Smith has ascertained that five
per cent of the population of Ovens
vile are widows. Seventy-ive good
looking and manageable widows live
in the town and most of them own
and manage their own homes and
many of them are in good circum-
stances.
There is widows Row" in the
town that is pointed out to all visi-
tors who happen to go to Owensville.
Smiths book on town events and the
widows has enjoyed wide circulation
and Smith has given it out that he
will publish such a book at least once
a year.

CARING FOR TRIPLES
MATTER OF IMPORTANCE TOO
FREQUENTLY OVERLOOKED.
In This Respect the French Woman Is
Superior to Her American Sister
Take the Handkerchief
for Example.

Were the American woman as care
full of little things as is the thrifty
trenchwoman, her reputation for econ
omy would grow as her possessions
increased
Our French sisters take personal
care Of their own small belongings.
They would just as soon trust kerr
chief to a laundress as they would the
piece of rare old family lace.
French thrift demands that the me-
rest bit of sheer linen last it's allotted
time, and that it shall do so requires
that great pains be taken with it. Ii
madam has a maid, then she must
be thoroughly instructed as to her
duties along this line, and handker-
chiefs are expected to be her special
charge. If, however, the little menage
does not boast of such luxury as
personal maid, then madam must do
her own washing.
In the first place, her handkerchiefs
are never allowed to become unduly
sOiled, and after once using are put
into a small linen bag that always
hangs beside the toilet table. When
half dozen or more have been col
lected, they are put to soak in an
earthen bowl filled with cool water
and suds made from the best Of wash
ing soap. In this they should remain
for half an hour, after which they are
carefully rinsed in more cool water
Then comes the thorough washing of
them in hot water in which a spoonful
OF borax has been dissolved. This is
done as gently as possible by patting
and rubbing, and for this last many
women use a childS toy dashboard,
which is exactly the right size for the
purpose. In this way no threads OF
the fine material are broken, disas-
ter which is difficult to remedy. The
final rinsing is also done through
many cool waters until every particle
of soap is gone, and then comes the
climax of the entire performance.
The handkerchiefs are placed in a
bowl of milk into which have been put
a few drops of essence of violet, which
is strong and of blush tinge, and
this will give to them the pure white
color which is SO necessary. From
this each is taken and partially dried
in a clean towel and at once ironed.
No starch is used, for the milk takes
the place of that, and the little iron
