AT THE END OF THE SEASON.

What becomes of the straw hats left on hand at the end of the sea son? We'll" said the dealer, we aim few We store 'em and hold 'em till next season.
 You might think there would he a market for them somewhere further South, where the season holds, longer than it does here, but it doesn't hold much longer there. In our southern most cities they begin wearing straw hats about March ]. considerably ea-li- CT than we do here, but they don't wear them much later in the fall: the straw hat season in the South closes about october l.
 "So any straw hats that we may have left we have to keep right here, but we don't keep many. After the Fourth of July every body reduces the pric of straw hats. On hats of fancy braids or of styles that might not be popular next season we put prices that make them go, and all the straws are reduced greatly.
 "There are some braids and some styles that are staple. that are contln- ued precisely the same season after season. If at the end we have any of these left we simply store them Tn dustproof packages. They are iresh goods that came in late and they come ont absolutely fresh and bright Tn the spring. Eut what we aim to do Is 10 carry over none."-From the New York Sun

WASHING THE CLOTHES.
One Woman's Plan Which Saves Time and Labor and Offers
 Convenience.

The manner in which one house. keeper solved her laundry propieih may help some other reader. on Monday the clothes were gathered together, sorted and all stains remov- ed: the white clothes were put to soak in the afternoon and after sup Der were placed on the stove to boil with washing powder and soap-they were stirred several times during the boiling process. After twenty mln-
 utes they were taken from the stove, put in a tub, cold water poured over them and left until morning. The tubs of rinse water were now filled for use on the following day. In the morning as soon as breakfast was over. the clothes that had been boiled were rubbed on the board, while the towels and similar articles were put on to boil. The first clothes were soon ready for the line, and the wash ing was finished in the early morning hours before the heat of the day made the work oppressive. Another point in favor of this plan is that in sum mer the greater part of the boiling of the clothes is done at night when the kitchen Is unoccupied, and as a result the room is not so warm during the remainder of the washing.

stepping stones meandered on in grace
