THE PRESERVATION
OF STEEL KNIVES
BY ELIZABETH LEE.

Because steel knives and forks are
| less dainty that silver one is inclined to
accord them less careful treatment. but
the fact is they call for a good deal of
care to keep them in perfect condition
while, as every one knows. good carvers'
! and other knives of steel are really quite
expensive The blades of steel knives
should be washed as quickly as possible
after using, otherwise the stains caused
by acids will become deepset and then
very difficult of removal. Never allow
| steel knives and forks to lie around un-
washed to the last, but rather cleanse
| them first. If the handles are Of horn it
will not hurt to put the knives directly
into hot water for a soaking while a
strong suds is being prepared.
Into the latter immerse the knives.
Wash, rinse in clean hot water and dry
thoroughly. Bone and ivory handles
| must not be allowed to remain in wa
| ter. They should be put into a deep
pitcher containing hot water coming to
within an inch of the handles. Shake
around in this water and then wash the
blades thoroughly in soapy water. Dry
and use a damp cloth only for the
handles.
Bath brick is about the very best thing
for the purpose. Other agents are coal
| ashes, brick dust pumice stone and
baking soda. A rag moistened with
water and dipped into powdered bath
brick will remove all ordinary stains if
| well rubbed on.
Ii the stains are obstinate. then kero-
sene may be substituted for the water.
If this is not at hand a potato cut in
halves will answer. dipping it first into
the bath brick, of course.
knife board covered with emery is
handy for removing rust on steel knives
as well as for keeping them well pol
ished. Kerosene, too, is good for rust.
To prevent knives from rusting when not
in use rub with sweet oil. giving a thin
coating. Then roll up in cotton flannel,
each knife separate
Some people keep deep box of sand
in the pantry, dry and fine. The knives
are put into this up to their handles.
This keeps them dry and bright but
/ am inclined to think the sweet oil is
the safer plan. Damp is apt to gather
often where least expected.
Even with careful washing, handles
become loose and finally fall off alto
gether They can be put in place again
| if a little plaster of paris is mixed with
water to thin paste and poured into
| the hole in the handle.
The blade is set in. and when the
paste hardens it will be quite solid, and
| SO hold firm.
| To keep ivory handles in good condition
wipe over with peroxide and set out in
| the sun.
If very discolored, little lemon juice
| and salt may be rubbed on afterward,
| thoroughly rinsing.

For the Hostess.

A pilgrim rug party is the very latest
fad-shades of our grandmothers! DO
YOU suppose under this disguise they
would recognize the old rag carpets which
adorned every room? Time has certainly
turned backward in its flight. and the
older the fashion the newer, more up-to-
date 1t seems to be.
The "hit -and-miss style of rug may
somewhat resemble the old rag carpet.
but the exquis;tely woven ones OF blue
and white green and white and green and
pink are such artistic things that their
relationship to the plebe! an rag carpet Is
remote, save in the method of preparing
the materials.
Only cotton fabrics are used. and. as In
the olden day, pound and half ball
weaves into a rug Of a square yard in
size.
Well. now for the party. Such an af-
fair was given recently for bride-elect.
and the cards said ''thimbles.' SO the
girls were prepared to sew. They found
piles of dark blue denim strips cut about
an inch wide. These were sewed together
and wound into a hard ball.
Then there was pile of. white strips.
When these were finished there was ma
terial enough for completed rug. BY
the time refreshments We're served the
strips We're sewed. The cost of weaving
Is very small.

Two Forms of Orapery.

There is a struggle for supremacy going
on between the tunic which goes all
around the skirt above the knees and
the tunic which opens in front from the
waist and is draped in pannier style.
The latter has the effect of adding to the
height. and is for that reason preferred
by many. even the tall. who seem az
much addicted to adding to their inches,

Once Tramp; Now Mayor.

LONDON, Nov. IA romantic story
is associated with the selection last
night as next mayor of Nottingham of
Mr.. Thomas, for eight years a well
known councillor
He was one of family of 70, and
was born 81 years ago in the worst
slum of the city. His father was a
framesmith, earning 10 shillings a
week, and at the age of seven the flu
tune mayor began to earn his living by
selling papers and was afterward sent
into the Hull fishing service.
When 10 he succumbed to the Aus
tralian gold fever. He found Sydney
swarming with starving men and
promptly worked his passage to San
Francisco. Thence he tramped across
the United States to New York, finally
working his passage back to England,
ending his hunt for fortune penniless.
He found fortune later in his native
city as yeast merchant, starting in
the business he now owns as porter.

Sell Babies Like Dogs.


LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7-"Babies in
Los Angeles are being given away or
bought and sold like SO many puppy
dogs" declared DR.. L. T. Powers, city
health officer, today, who said new
laws regulating the adoption or trans
fer Of children were absolutely neces-
sary.
ut would be impossible to say how
many babies vanish each year, leaving
no clew to their fate. Many babies are
taken for adoption by people who don't
leave their correct identity, and of
whom we can find no trace. A few
babies, OF course find good homes, but
there are great many whose fate is
entirely different"

OF gold and purple that the British
have cheered so loyalty, especially
in King Edwards day, be seen on the
turf.
1t is believed that the kings decision
came about partly through the disfayor
into which racing has fallen in Amer
lea and elsewhere, and partly because
of his known slight interest in the
sport. 1t is also rumored that Queen
Mary had a hand in it on account of
the fact that the gambling feature has
become just as prominent in connec-
ton with British racing as when the
sport got itself into trouble on that ac-
count in America
The withdrawal of the kings horses
is bound to be severe blow to the
British turf. Strong pressure has been
brought to bear to have him reconsid
err, but the mandate went forth when
the king visited York cottage last week
and his instructions to his manager,
Marquis Beresford, were most definite.
1t is likely the king will only attend
the track in the future on Derby day,
the Oaks, Ascot meeting and possibly
Goodwood.
1t is the royal intention that such
horses as have worthily borne the
kings colors, Minoru, who won the
Deeply for King Edward, Dorando and
who was in the Last Derby,
shall not be sold, but shall end their
days in the paddocks at Sandringham.

AMERICANS INVADE
THE ENGLISH HUNTS

, and Dedham hunts of Boston.
But, please understand, the "inva-
sion" is welcome. Harry Payne Whit
ney, who brings over a crowd Of hard
riders each season is awaited anxious
ly in Leicestershire and is expected
shortly.
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert e. Strawbridge
of Philadelphia will occupy again
Sysonby Lodge, Melton Mowbray. She
was Miss Anita Berwind. They say
here that her father, immensely veal
thy, owns half the coal mines in Penn
sylvania. The Strawbridges are vastly
popular in Leicestershire. He has the
proper idea-to kill fox with hounds
is murder pure and simple.
1t Is understood that Mrs. Adolf
Ladenburg, that splendid horsewoman
who hunts in Leicestershire every
year, is coming and will be accom-
panied by her daughter, Miss Eugene,
who Is at much at her graceful ease
in the saddle as is her mother Miss
Ladenburg will make her debut and
be presented at court next season.
Some few Englishmen howl because
Americans pay such tall prices for
hunters that no one whose purse is
shallow can compete with them. But
they are blessed by the horse dealers,
professional and amateur.
King Gives Up the Turf.
AS striking addendum to the Amer
lean conQuests of the hunting field,
comes the announcement that King
George has ordered the upbreak of his
racing stable. Never again, after No
vember, will the famous royal colors

LONDON, Nov Americans have
not only invaded the English hunt-
ing lines, but are in a fair way to cap
ture the last stronghold Of the Tory
lord. the hard-riding squire, and the
sporting vicar-England's dearest pos
session.
Nothing else is Left The Americans,
with joyous dispositions and millions
of dollars to indulge them, have the
best houses in London, give the most
elaborate entertainments, lease the
most luxurious country houses, engage
the Scottish moors where the grouse
and pheasants ara most plentiful, rent
the streams that swarm with salmon
and take large part on the turf, win
ming a derby or some other classic
race ever and again.
Now they take possession OF the
hunting field To appreciate what this
means, it is only necessary to quote
! certain master of hounds who, re-
earding the arms of His Majesty, the
king, remarked:
'Better put fox rampant in place OF
the unicorn. Who wants the unicorn !"
Welcomed at MOwbray.
AS everybody knows who loves
run with the hounds, the country
around Melton, Mowbray, Leicester
shire, Is the stiffest in the kingdom.
So in and around Melton Mowbray are
gathering the American men and wom-
en- who ride with the Meadow Brook
on Long Island; the Rosetree and
Rainor hunts near Philadelphia; the
Mkfidge, in Baltimore; the Chevy
Chase, near Washington, and Myopia
