MATTER
IS STILL
PENDING


Dan 5iluck. a PROMINENT member OF
the saloon keepers association of Iiam-
mond is the authority for the state
ment that the association has not en-
tered into q contract with Daily brofh-
ers for the purchase of ice.
He says that the matter has been un-
der consideration By the executive
board but that action has been
taken. He declares that there is a
hitch in that DAILY brothers will not
bind themselves to supply the saloon
keepers with all the ice they need and
the members of the executive board of
the association are afraid that if they
should refuse to purchase FROM the
Knickerbocker company that they
might be denied a supply of ice.
!. Then too it is understood that the
Chicago company which proposes to
supply Daily brothers is selling ice in
Gary for 30 cents a hundred when it
proposes to charge the Hammond sa-
loon keepers at the rate of 25 cents a
hundred.
/ As stated in THE TIMES last evening
no definite understanding has yet been
reached by the saloon keepers associa-
tion for the purchase of ice.

Coronation Flower.

The pink carnation is the official corona
ton flower. so Queen Mary has decreed
Immediately this decree was heard pink
began to flood the London shops, until
the whole world Of clothes began to take
on a tinge Of rose.
Some lady of the court. knowing the
queen to be quite fond of violets. asked
her how she came to select the carnation.
Because it is within the reach of the
common people," was the reply Il want
every loyal subject to wear the corona
ton flower as often as he can. Another
reason for my choice is the gayety Of the
bright little flower. We have been in
mourning so long that we must go to the
other extreme in order to dispel the
shadows of our bereavement.
Having in remembrance the avidity with
which Dame Fashion adopted the black
and white of the English court during
the past winter and the prevalence of
these colors in clothes, it is safe to say
pink will be the rage, and we may look
for coronation visitors to return with
their trunks a medley of this refreshing
color.
Added to the present popular fancy for
Helen pink, there seems to be no limit
to the pink season. The vivid shade
named in compliment to Miss Helen Taft,
daughter of the President, is seen on a
majority Of the smart millinery and dress
creations. With two first ladies of two
powerful countries declaring their prefer
ence for the shade of happiness, buyers
feel perfectly safe in crowding their
shops with pink, and as the color is al
most universally becoming 1t is apt to
have a long vogue.

Laundry Hints.

The laundress Monday morning should
commence her labors by the careful ex-
animation of all the articles committed
to her care, separating into piles the bed
linen, table linen. body linen, muslins.
flannel garments and the coarser kitchen
linen into another, each to be looked after
according to its special needs. All arti-
cles should be looked over for spots of
ink, grease. fruit or wine stains, tea or
coffee spots, and treated each with its
peculiar remedy.
Ink spots are removed by dipping the
part in hot water and smoothing 1t on the
back OF a spoon, then spreading on ii
oxalic acid or salts Of sorrel. rubbing and
rinSing afterWard in cold water. Grease
spots may be rubbed with good laundry
soap and rinSed in hot water. while the
fruit or wine spots may be taken out by
a solution of ammonia or spirits of wine,
then rinSed carefully.
In washing the body and bed linen the
more experienced washerwomen do not
rub the linen against their skin. but rub
one linen surface against another, which
saves time. labor, and. by washing two
parts at once, the hands are saved irrita-
ton as well. When the clothes are thor
oughly washed they may be placed in the
boiler. where the water should be kept
at boiling point, but never allowed to
boil except in the case of the greasy
kitchen linen.
Clothes should be dried out of doors in
the sunlight and air if possible. and even
for nat jewellers who are possessed of a
good roof this is a possibility. The blu
ing should be put into the water and
thoroughly tested before the clothes are
put into 1t, SO that 1t is an even. good
color. There are various ways of making
starch, one of which is dear to each
laundress' heart and unless it is made
her way, she claims, she cannot iron the
wash satisfactorily.
1t is an item Of great Importance that
clothes be carefully dried and aired be-
fore they are put away. else the beauty
Of the ironing is all wasted. Delicate
muslins should be cared for by them
selves. to be hung up as soon as they are
ready, so they do not run In color and
they should always be hung in the shade
to keep from fading. Sometimes a hand
full Of common salt added to the water
they are washed in will prevent them
from losing color. Some dainty colors
will not bear the sprinklng process even.
but have to be ironed when damp, as
silks and French f1annels do. The house
keeper should make it point to examine
the tubs and boiler, pins and line once
in a while to see that they are kept as
they should be: also watch her irons that
they are free from rust. Above all, see
that the ironing board is properly COW
cred and clean sheeted if you would have
laundry work done to perfection.

DRESS HINT FOR

How can a girl who is a real wage
Garner pay her living expenses, have
a bank account and be smartly gowned,

Taken collectively the task seems
