Some Uses for Salt.

Japanese and plain straw mating
should be washed with salt and water
and rubbed dry. This keeps 1t soft
and prevents the mating becoming
brittle and cracking. Brooms soaked
in hot salt waiter wear better and will
not break off short.
Bedroom floors may be kept cool
and fresh If wiped with a cloth
wrung out of strong salt water.
Black spots on dishes and discolor
ations on teacups may be removed by
rubbing with damp salt. Salt thrown
on any burning substance will stop
both smoke and blaze.

A Luxury at Hand.

"And there we were," said the re.
turned polar explorer, with our sup
ply of food almost exhausted, sur
rounded completely by the ice jam.
Oh, how we longed for some of the
good jellies and preserves and things
like that which you folks at home
were enjoying!"
why didn't you eat the jam?" asks
the fair young thing with the lustrous
eyes and the aureole of sunny hair.

nehSlGY1N GREN RHIZTIY

My wife and I left alone, she broke
at once into lamentation. Her plans
were all going astray. she declared.
Matchmaking was perfectly horrid
and she would never, no, never, I'M
dertake it again. AS for Archibald,
she gave him up. She couldn't under
stand it, at all. Why couldn't he
make up his mind which girl he
wanted and stick to it? A man who
only had ten days in which to choose
a wife had no business to go on as
he did. Why, she'd never get him
married, and he'd lose his fortune!
But that wasn't the most important
What bothered her most was that
poor Agatha Lawrence had fallen in
love with the marplot, and so far as
she could see-and this in spite of her
best efforts-the poor girl was des-
tined to lose him after all! o, it
was really too bad. Terhune was
too, too trying! l must really speak
to him and find out what he meant
by playing fast and loose like that.
give you my word I've seldom heard
her go on SO about anything. She
really felt distressed by the unaccount-
able and rather mysterious color our
matrimonial project had assumed, and
was much concerned for Agatha
Sixth's happiness. The other Agatha
we did not seem to be as interested
in somehow. as she had neither hus-
band or fortune at stake with which
to enlist our special sympathies.
After all, Wilfred," she said, heav-
ing a deep sigh, "the course of true
love never did run smooth"
Nor yet the course of true match
making!" l answered and we strolled
down the side of the little hill where
the picnic had been to go and look
for wild flowers ourselves.

and fancy feathers, wings and ribbons
are all available. The soft caps are
more simply trimmed.
Soft caps of fur or fur fabrics are
easily made at home. The crown is In
four sections, like a boys jockey cap
and the brim slightly curved collar
which is wide enough to turn up about
the crown. This is lined with silk OF
satin. A fine wire may be introduced
in the outside brim edge to advantage
1t should be put in between the fabric
and the lining, and will serve to keep
the hat shapely.
Such hats of plush or fur are very
comfortable-a real protection to the
head, and the becomingness is new
discovery. 1t is all in adjusting the
right shape to the head in the right
way.

Cafe Noir.

Put three tablespoons of finely
ground coffee in the top of French
coffee pot Pour over half pint boil
ing water. Do not allow the coffee to
boil. After it has run through into
the space below pour off and run
through the top second time. This
should be done four or five times.
Always be sure to have a cover for
the spout. The coffee pot should be
carefully scalded before it is used and
be kept bright and free from grounds.
This amount is sufficient for small
family, as it is served in tiny cups.

fastens to the belt by the rings. The
washer straps the belt around his

window sill. The cable, as shown in
the illustration, hangs inside and the
hook can be anchored to some heavy
piece of furniture or to another hook

primarily for professional window
cleaners, it will be found useful in
