BLUINe IN THE LAUNDRY
Conditions in Crowded Cities Make Use of coIorine Necessary to
 Keep Clothes White.

Is bluing necessary? In the laun dry, without the use of bluing, these conditions are essential if the white clothes are to be pure white; plenty of fresh air, sunshine, bleaching space (grass), clean, soft water, and time for doing the work
 However. these are the usual con. ditions; crowded city, limited air space. no grass, atmosphere full oi particles of soot and dust, and, on account of the crowded conditions the work must be done at stated times or not at all. As a result, even with most careful washing, the white clothes are either gray or vel. low.
 To overcome this difficulty, bluing is used to give the clothes the desired tint of white.

HOW BINGHAM GOT REVENGE
He Ordered Coal to Be Delivered on the Days When the
 Cabinet Met

Just outside the front door of the ex- ecutive offices there is coal hole. This is the opening of coal chute which supplies the White House with all its fuel, and when the executive mansion is replenishing it's supply of coal all business in the office suspends.
 There is a short story about this coal hole which White House attaches are still telling. It seems that when General Bingham, who afterwards be- came police commissioner of New York, was superintendent of public buildings and grounds, the executive offices were being built. He did not like Stanford White, who designed these offices, nor the plans upon which they were designed.
 The superintendent was overruled, however, and the work went ahead. Finally 1t was finished, along with the coal hole The president moved in and business began. Then it came Bingham's time to get even He took early note of the coal hole and its proximity to the cabinet room. On Fri days and Tuesdays, as at present, the cabinet met and regularly on these days the superintendent ordered from two to five big coal wagon loads of coal delivered.
 Just as the cabinet would assemble the first load of coal would start down the chute. Then would come another and another, until recess would be taken until the miserable noise would subside.
 This was Bingham's revenge. The cabinet never suspected that 1t was all a put up job on the architect.

WAYS OF SERVING BANANAS
Fruit Is Nourlshlng and Should be Served Often, Say Stomach
 Specialists.

Palates that revolt at raw bananas can enjoy them well cooked. Stom- ach specialists-some of them-say this fruit is nourishing and should be served often.
 Banana recipes are here given to help out the housekeeper troubled over her weekly menu:
 A simple pudding is made from a custard of yolks of three eggs to quart of milk, slightly sweetened. When the consistency of thick cream pour 1t over thin slices of banana in a pudding dish. Put meringue of whites of eggs on top and brown slightly in oven. Serve cold with cream.
 Sliced bananas mixed with corn starch just before it stiffens and serv- ed with fresh strawberry sauce are de- licious.
 Baked bananas are sometimes used as a vegetable. Peel and cut in half. Iengthwise. Divide if large. To each banana allow a tablespoonful of su- gar, two tablespoonfuls of water, teaspoonful each of lemon juice and melted butter and pinch of salt. Put slices in shallow casserole and bake slowly for half hour. keeping them well pasted.

NEW STYLES IN BLoUsEs
Care Should Be Used in Selecting Ma terlal That Will Harmonize With
 Wardrobe.

The introduction of color on blouses for everyday wear is attractive. The use of anything but white has its disad- vantage in that it compels the wearer to cling to 'one color scheme through out the costume; and every woman knows how annoying it is to find that she only has a blue blouse clean when she is wearing brown suit.
 The way to overcome this Is to choose ones blouses rather carefully after one has made up plan for the summer wardrobe. If you make your blouses now in haphazard fashion, you may be compelled to get suits and hats to go with them-which is put ting the cart before the horse.
 Some women keep to one color scheme as nearly as possible through out the season; they know that blue and green and black, possibly, are their chief colors, and they hold on to these regardless of what the dyers and the manufacturers produce. This is the secret of really good dressing, and you will find, upon observation, that it is the method of nearly all the women who are conspicuous for taste in clothes.
 If you know your own mind quite thoroughly in regard to the colors you will choose for your spring and summer suits, then it is quite wise to go ahead with your blouses; but if not, it is best to conf1ne ones self to the choice of black, pin-dotted, with white, and dark bright blue, which goes with such a quantity of other colors.
 The big bands are in very good style this year, and they are among the chief colors introduced on white materials. Golden browns, soft shades of green, and many tones of blue are used, as well as cerise, pomegranate red, and any of the new wine tones.
 Pink is to be in high fashion this summer, in all shades but the pastel ones; Killarney pink, coral, flame and watermelon are among the tones we will see most used on white sheer blouses of muslin, marquisette and batiste. Finely dotted swiss will also come into favor as a fabric for blouses, and it will have many ad- herents, as 1t wears and washes well and looks exceptionally attractive un- der linen suits.

Everybody may be pleased in the new spring millinery. There are hats large and hats small, but more espe- cially hats small. There are hats soft and collapsible, and there are pressed shapes. There are hats of braid on wire frames and hats of braid on no frames. There are hats grave and hats gay, and there are hats expensive. There may be, hats inexpensive, but they are hardly classed as millinery. Here is a good place to observe and point out that it is only in the west one may find genteel looking hats of good materials at moderate prices. This is accounted for by the fact that the grade of intelligence of the mil linery worker of the west is apt to be much higher than that of the worker on the Atlantic coast. Taste and in- telligence show in the hat. The young
The Holbrook news., 1911-06-02

ladies in a western house look as if they had graduated from high school or academy, and naturally have an ad- vantage in many ways over the young person recently belched forth from the steerage. Therefore, if you are look ing for real millinery in a not expen- sive hat, look close home if you live west of the Alleghaenies. Your millin- cry will be less freakish, of better ma terial and workmanship and incom- parably more ladylike.
 The hats shown here show braid hat, a pressed shape and a soft wire less hat They represent real mil linery. They are not poised at drunken angle, nor set too primly straight. They have style and are very generally becoming, no matter what style is preferred.

A Fine Little Business Woman
By MICHAEL J. PORTER

You're a fine little business %o- man. Jess." said Danny Devereaux. warmly. And yet, unconsciously there was within him reluctance to admit her possession of a quality so purely masculine.
 Miss Jessamine German smiled be- comingly at the compliment. She was a partnership stenographer; Danny Devereaux and two other young law yers paid equal shares of her salary. In return, she did stenographic work for them. discussed their cases with them, and took their money to the bank-when there was any to take.
 Yes, sir" continued Devereaux. you've struck your vocation You've improved greatly on my dictation of that letter"
 If young MT. Devereaux had been observant, he would have seen that her vocation was love and marriage, rather than stenography. She was much too attractive to fade into hope less spinsterhood over the keys of typewriter.
 But the lawyers forgot her sex and her charm somewhat-because Miss German wanted them to forget There was no foolishness about her. Florid compliments and sly love-making were mercilessly ridiculed. Apparently the stenographer desired they look on her as they looked on male business asso- ciates.
 "A fine business woman" she unused; that's nice of you, MT. Dan ny. "Mr. Devereaux" would have been much too formal for the cls-rub-faced young attorney; Danny" would have been too familiar; hence her compro- mise. And now want to talk lit tie business with you.

 He took the book mechanically. went into his own office, and closed the door.
 For ten minutes he stared at the morning paper without seeing it. Then he said, in the tone of one who has made a great discovery: Jess is a girl; and. mighty pretty one, tool"
 MT. Danny said Jess, few days later, "a banks lawyer always keeps his account at that bank, doesn't her"
 Naturally; why?"
 tinental your account would be trans ferred?"
 Yes; but I have precious little chance of being attorney for the Con tinental."
 You can't tell" responded Jess" My brother is assistant cashier over there"
 Legal business often goes by favor. Within a week the Continental sent Danny Devereaux a trifing commis- sion, which he executed carefully and well. Then came another and another. Soon he was getting profitable share of the banks work. It followed that his personal account, as well as his account as administrator, were trans ferred from the Reliance to the books of his new client
 Since the day of his stupendous dis covery that Jessamine German was a charming girl, Danny cultivated her acquaintance outside of business hours. He took her to the theater and to parties; and as spring advanced he became a permanent fixture, evenings, on the porch or in the parlor.
 The trees were panoplied with new green, and the birds were singing like mad. The air was perfumed; the cor ners in the nearby country were car peted with wild flowers. A man and a maid-and so, of course. they were married.
 A week after the wedding the Re liance bank toppled over with crash. Jess was digging in the garden of their new home when Danny came home and told her about it.
 If you hadn't been such a fine lit tie business woman. darling" he said in conclusion, land noticed the signs of trouble long before anyone else, our money would have been in there, too. And would have had seven thousand dollars to make good"
 I'm not a business womani" re- piled Jess, fervently. T always hated it; loathe the sight of typewriter. The only redeeming feature about my work was that was near-you-"
 When this shy admission had been duly acknowledged, Danny asked:
 How did you figure the Reliance was going to smash, then, if you're not business woman?"
 T hunted for flaws because-be- cause that horrid old Mr. Franks tried to make love to me one dayI wanted to hurt his old bank"
 There was joy as well as amuse- ment in the smile Danny turned away to hide. He had not married phe- nomenon: Jess was an ideal sweet heart and wife. She wasn't business woman at all
