IYERE the American woman an
wv careful of little things as is the
thrifty Frenchwoman. her rep
utation for economy would grow as
her possessions increased.
Our French sisters take personal care
of their own small belongings. They
would just as soon trust a kerchief to
a laundress as they would the piece OF
rare old family lace
French thrift demands that the merest
bit of sheer linen last its allotted time,
and that II shall do so requires that
great pains be taken with 1t. II madam
mas maid, then she must be thoroughly
instructed as 10 her duties along this
line. and handkerchiefs are expected to
be her special charge. II, however. the
little menage does not boast of such
luxury. as a 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 q
dozen or more have been collected, they
are put to soak in an earthen bowl
filled with cool water and suds made
from the best of washing soap In this
they should remain for half an hour,
after which they are carefully rinsed in
more cool water. Then comes the thor
ough washing of them in hot water in
which spoonful of borax has been dis
solved. This is done as gently as pos
Slple Dy pdtung ana ruDD1ng. and for
this last many women use a child's toy
washboard which is exactly the right
size for the purpose. In this way no
threads OF the fine material are broken,
a disaster 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
bowl of milk into which have been put
a few drops of essence of violet which
is strong and of a 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 clean
towel and at once ironed. No starch
is used. for the milk takes the place of
that. and the little ironing board is COW
cred first with heavy flannel and after
ward with 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 moro than repaid for that by the
results seen. The little pile of handker-
chiefs will come from her hands as II
fresh from the shelves of a shop. and
they will have the delicate fragrance
of having lain in violet sachet. Any-
thing daintier and more satisfying to
the eye ii would be hard to imagine
and any woman who cares for these
pretty trif1es could not help but take a
certain amount of pleasure in this kind
of work,

Noisy Nuisances

TLL-FTTTING doors and windows rem
resent happy hunting ground for
= the disturbing winds. In fact, SO
annoying does the constant rafting OF
these openings become that many de-
termined individuals, who resolve to ad-
NIT the fresh air. choose the lesser Of
two evils and close the openings in
preference to sleepless nights This can
be remedied If small wedge of wood
be driven In at the side of an open win
dow; a door can be prevented from
rafting If a pad or strip of thick felt
be nailed on the edge of the door.
The annoyance of creaking drawers
can be eliminated by rubbing common
soap upon the top, sides and bottom of
each.
Creaking hinges on anything should
be well oiled, while the grating, irritat-
ing noise of a sewing machine can he
overcome in a similar manner.
The little noises wear away the ma
tience that is required for other things
1t were foolish to dissipate energy
through the channels of irritated nerves

NOT IN FAVOR OF
 A STATE LEAGUE
Iouesboro's President Calls Attention to Fact That Last Years ENper-
 fence is Sufficient Proof.

paragould, Jan. f9.-President DOS well Brown of Jonesboro, president of the Northeast Arkansas League, Is not in favor of converting the organ ization into a state league with .Jonesboro. Little Rock, Hot Springs, Pine Bluff. Helena and Marianna as the circuit.
 He says the experience of the de funct State league last year is enough to convince him that such project would prove losing venture. III a letter addressed to local fans Pres ident Brown says, among other things: T will not be a candidate for reelection to the presidency of the Northeast Arkansas League, but l shall certainly work for a Northeast Arkansas League again, with possibly the addition of two towns in Missou- ri."
 Mr. Brown has been ill for sev- eral weeks but is on the road to re- cOvery again and when he gets Dack into harness business is expected to pick up in the little family leagnc. Jonesboro is anxious to get in bis circuit, but the support will not jus tify it, and the chances are the same towns that made such hot finish in the Northeast Arkansas League last year will start in the race again this year
