TO try the general effect of certain
 color or mode of trimming there is no plan to equal trimming with tissue paper. This is a plan followed even by professional milliners abroad. Once the hat has been lifted by it's bandeau and lined, the mock trimming is made of colored tissue paper, which the home milliner crushes and pinches roughly into the form of bows and rosettes, garlands of flowers or single blossoms, and pins these in position on the hat
 Instead of crushing ribbon hopeless ly by trying the effect of large fiat bow, a chou, a rosette or a wing" of ribbon, the colored tissue paper is fold ed into the requisite shape and is shift ed and regulated on the hat until it is made to assume the most becoming angle. Only then is the real bow or wing made of ribbon, or the flowers tied into punches. and arranged on the exact spot previously occupied by the paper.
 The wearer will find if her eyes are hazel she will probably look well with a green or a greenish blue. Possibly,

Removing Mud Spatters

WITH peroxide of hydrogen one can
 easily remove mud spatters from white linen or other white lingerie frock without laundering any part Of the garment. If possible, when the mud first splashes on the dress, re- move all that will come off without smudging the places. After what re- mains has become perfectly dry brush off all that will come with soft bristle brush, then spread the fabric over a bath towel and apply the peroxide, us- ing a dropper so as to touch the exact spot; also rub the place with clean cotton rag dipped in peroxide, alter hating the drops and the rubbing un- til the stain disappears. When dry lay a damp cloth over the places and press with a hot iron.

HNOR the canning of string beans,
 peas, egg plant. squash. lima beans, carrots and parsnips no elaborate preparations are necessary. In fact. they are among the vegetables that can be most successfully canned at home. Tin cans should never be used, because of the action of the vegetable acids on the metal. Glass jars are the best re- ceptacles. and they should have glass tops. metal tops being hard to clean and difficult to sterilize. The most sat- isfactory type of jar is that having a glass cover held in place by an ad- unstable wire spring, which fits in a groove across the top of the cover and clamps down against the side of the jar.
 Steam Cooker.
 Another requisite for the successful canning of vegetables is the steam cooker, says the Modern Priscilla If the manufactured article is considered too expensive an improvised cooker can be made with a tin wash boiler, having tight cover and piece of coarse wire netting, such as is used for poultry yard fencing. The wire netting is cut a triae smaller than the boiler and is laid flat on the bottom.
 Canning Con.
 The very best corn should be used for canning, and it shoyld be used as soon after picking as possible. Re- move the huEks and silks and cut off the grains. l Sex closely, not too tight ly, into the jar Sntil it is full, add half teaspoonful of salt and then fill up

 The habit of using chairs as step ladders is a misuse common alike to men and women. So long as the chairs are plain wooden seated ones it does not greatly matter, but tapestry seat ed or cushioned chairs were never meant to be so treated. very little wrong use in this way will completely ruin a chair.
 Unless necessity absolutely drives one to use a thing wrongly it is wisest to keep things all for their own correct use Wrong use may mean momentary saving of time and trouble. but in the end it nearly always leads to more trouble and. very frequently indeed. more expense

VT has been the creed of many per-
 sons. and there are some who still adhere to the old ideas. that when
 a woman reaches the age of hfty she must adopt the bonnet and shawl But in this advanced age one has diff ficulty in telling (from a back view) whether a figure is that of a matron or of a debutante. so carefully is the dow ager corseted.
 This seasons fashion rather favors the elderly woman's figure. Long. skirts and fichu effects are all becom- ing to her. Charming hats that are youthful enough to be becoming, but with dignity and grace sufficient for women past middle life are shown in the shops.
 One. a very pretty model of fine gray straw, was trimmed with plaitings of lace, gray taffeta and handsome black paradise aigret Another, a turban shape. has a crown made entirely of violets and trimmed with a chou of deep violet ribbon from which emanate Mercury wings Still another model
  sized brim and trimming of ostrich tips and black taffeta Fibbon.
 The older woman, too, may wear shirt waist, but it must be a shirt waist especially designed with a view to grace and harmony of effect. A beau tifuI blouse is made of gray chiffon and white lace with trimming of black soutache.
 ooIors 1iOec ara fha points that make the costume of the middle aged woman distinguished. Grays, deep blues, black, white, purple and sometimes a deep brown are the best shades for her to wear.
 The tailored costume should fit we'll and be cut on loose, graceful lines. A pretty suit designed for fall is of black wool and silk mixture, trimmed with black satin and rat tail braid. The coat is in three quarter length, and the clever tailoring conceals the defects of the matronly figure.
 That the new pannier effect is adapt ed to even an elderly woman is seen by the taupe taffeta dress illustrated. Draped up in front. the waist is cut by a ribbon sash which forms the grdle. Over this is draped. fchu effect. a scarf 
 black and white beads. The scarf is brought over the shoulders to the back, where it forms graceful postillion. A beautiful black chiffon evening dress over white silk is also pictured. It has the long lines of the figure accentuated by the fichu and lace panel. which seems to be part of the fichu.
 Of course many more simple styles exist on equally good lines. For the elderly woman who cannot afford very good corset-though a splendid one may be bought for a few dollars today and refitted with little or even no extra Charge-or for the one whose figure is deformed by long illness or by years of hard work the plaited skirt gives the best lines, is the easiest to fit and looks best.
 Then. too. the plain gored skirt, such as shown in the figure wearing the house gown, is very good This gown is of satin charmeuse and is trimmed with silk fringe. It has a tucker and sleeves of white net, and the sleeves

SOME people seem to live on the prin- ciple of "a use for everything and everything to Its use'-its proper use! Such folk would not dream of using anything but the right thing for the right purpose But plenty of people adopt reverse methods and rarely al- low a day to pass without putting something to an utterly wrong use. True. using things wrongly often makes no great mischief, but broadly the advantages of the habit are hidden by the disadvantages.
 It is doubtful if the humorists' wom- an ever lived who used her husbands nice sharp razor for carpentering pur- poses, but the incident-real or unreal provides a good illustration of the folly of putting things to wrong uses.
 Scores of men and women regularly use their pocket handkerchiefs for clusters. 4 tempting patch of dust on book or table-the handkerchief ready for use. But after being used so a few times, a handkerchief begins to par take of the very nature of duster. and no laundry skill will bring it white.
 Many girls use brooches and jeweled pins of sorts for purposes plainly call ing for a safety pin, a paper fastener or a needle and cotton. The quantity of brooches lost in a year by being wrongly used must be enormous. yet girls will not learn wisdom.
 Again, expensive notepaper is not bought for scribbling purposes. "Only a sheet' now and then speedily be- comes a quire and mounts on up-a quite unnecessary extravaganza. Still more reprehensible is the wicked GUS tom which some women have of mak- ing notes of household lists and such like on the fly leaves of books.
 Numbers of girls. too, spoil table knives by regularly using them for peeling vegetables. sharpening lead pencils and other widely divergent. ut terly wrong purposes. Proper sharp knives should be kept for culinary uses-a penknife for pencil sharpening. scissors for cutting string, and so on-
 To use more or less expensive toilet soap for odd washing jobs is another favorite wrong use" with girls. It is not merely matter of extravaganza. but it means that the work will not be done nearly so we'll as if the proper kind of washing soap be used.
 Some housewives have lamentable habit of using various china and glass treasures Tor storing things In instead of sensible earthenware jars or tins. as the case may be. Only when one of the things thus misused gets broken do they realize their folly. Folly it is. too-though by no means an unusual one-to use fine china for cooking pur- poses. China can be wrongly used in various way. For instance, women who would not dream of baking tart on ''best' china plate will stand one in an oven ito keep warm for awhile"
 It would be interesting to know how many pairs of fine pointed scissors the average woman breaks in her endeavor to make them do the work of a cork screw or tack remover or how many pairs of tongs are destroyed by man in his fixed resolve to make them also serve the purpose of a poker?

Usfns Remnants of Dam

A NICE way to use remnants of a
 boiled ham is to make them into ham toast. Grind or chop enough ham to fill a cup, using some of the fat, as that improves the flavor.
 Melt a tablespoonful of butter in a saucepan and add a tablespoonful of flour. As soon as blended add a cup and a third of sweet milk Let this thicken slightly. then add ham and the whites of two hard boiled eggs which have been mashed with fork.
 Season with pepper and a little salt. Pour over round slices of toast which have been placed on a platter. Take the yolks of the eggs and put through a potato ricer and sprinkle over the top of the toast Garnish with parsley and the dish Is ready to serve.

late visitor is saying to your neighbor across the street, where she is paying her next call.
 But you have a shrewd suspicion that all your little weaknesses and imper- factions are being talked over and compared unfavorably with some one else's.
 It is certainly a lovely thing to tell your friend that she does her hair be- comingly or if you think her children are particularly good, but leave it at that Don't draw other people into it and compare them unfavorably.
 It's a bad habit to get into and one that will make you unpopular wher- ever you go.

 Canning Peas and Beans.
 Peas, string and lima beans are canned in the same way. Only fresh. young peas should be used, and they should be canned as soon as possible after hulling. In the case of string beans much depends upon their being young and tender. String carefully and break into short lengths and pack firmly In the jar Lima beans must be carefully sorted so that they shall be of uniform tenderness
 This process of canning insures sterilization by steam. the only reliable 5terilizing process. Never place the jars in the boiler without first making sure that the side springs are clamped down.

ERUIT stains should be carefully
 looked after at this season before the linen is put into the hot suds, which always set all stains. They are re- moved easily by boiling water or a little salts of lemon without damage to the fabric.

Storing the Soap.

4 LWAYS buy soap, both for house. \ hold and toilet purposes. in large quantities if you possibly can and store it away until required. This allows it to harden, and you will find that it will last almost as long again as it would otherwise do. Store candles in the same way, as they last much longer than if used when new.
 To Dry Clean Gloves.
 White kid gloves that are not very badly soiled can be quite well cleaned at home with a mixture of finely pow dered fuller's earth and alum. It should be rubbed we'll in with a clean piece of flannel and then thoroughly brushed off with a soft, clean brush.
 White Cloth.
 Ground rice is excellent for cleaning white cloth. It should be applied with a piece of clean, white flannel, left on for two or three hours, and then well brushed and shaken out
 To Save the Linen.
 If you want your linen to wear we'll try this plan: Instead of folding ta- blecloths and sheets lengthways, as is usually done, fold them the other way occasionally. as they last far longer if the folds are sometimes changed in this way than if always folded in the same place.
 New Stockings.
 New stockings will last almost twice as long without wearing into holes if they are shrunk before being worn. Wash them in warm water to which a little ammonia has been added. then wiring out and dry and you will be de-

 Indeed. there is every reason to be- lieve that the stout matronly woman is going to have things very much her own way this fall. In the first place. the autumn styles are showing a de- cided waist line and these same styles are eyfncing a pronounced predilection for hips, or so say the fashion makers in this country who are taking the tailor made modes into their own hands despite the edict from the other side

 Gas MantIes.
 Don't throw away broken incan- descent mantles. Crush them up into a powder, store in a small box and use for cleaning jewelry. It gives a splen- did polish and does not scratch the sur- face of the gold or silver.
 Artificial Flowers.
 Crumpled artificial flowers may be made to look quite fresh again by holding them over the steam of a ket- tie for a few minutes, then pull them out into shape and shake them until they are quite dry. This treatment works wonders with velvet flowers.

The same rule applies to the Norfolk style of blazer, which oftentimes has a patent leather belt, although the self belt is equally smart. The fabrics em- ployed are tibet, knicker, homespun and French flannel. In these materials some of the girls favor tan and gray tones rather than red, green and the brighter colors, while for very warm weather nothing is daintier than white.
 Norfolk models may be duplicated in khaki and crash in white, relieved with a bright color.

To make matters worse. there are even hints that skirts are to be gath cred into a tight wide band below the Knees that reaches just three inches apove the ground. A wide girdIe at the waist is the latest fad, so that the top or the skirt will coincide with the bot tom. and only an experienced hand will be able to tell which is the belt and which is the hem.

GENERAL ANDRADE
ASSASSINATED

Guagaquail, Ecuador, March e.
Gen. Julio Andrade, military COM
marder of Guayaquail, was assassin
ated last night by some of his soldiers.
Andrade was the chief figure in sup
pressing the recent revolution in
Ecuador after the death of President
Estrada. He took command OF the
army supporting the Quito govern
ment which favored Gen. Leonidas
Plaza, who took over the reins of
government on Estrada's death.
On several occasions he met the de-
feated insurgent army under Gen.
Flavio Alfaro, which supported the
claims of General Montero and finally
suppressed the revolution by capturing
Guayaquail.
Montero was tried by court martial
at Guayaquail and then dragged into
the streets and beheaded and burned
by the angry populace. Eloy Alfaro,
FIavio Alfaro, Madero Alfaro, Tn
tanio Paez and Miguel Serrano, other
revolutionary leaders. suffered a SINH
lar fate at Quito. The country then
became quiet and arrangements were
being made to elect a president for
the next four years, General Plaza be-
ing nominated by the liberals.

CHILDREN FORCED TO LEAVE
HE CLAIMED THAT CHILDREN
WERE SENT OUT OF THE CITY
WHERE STRIKE is ON, WITH
OUT THE CONSENT OF THEIR
PARENTS. .....

Washington, March &C. F. Lynch,
commissioner of public safety of Law
renee, Mass, and Capt, John j. Sui
liyan, acting chief marshal OF that
city, occupied the stand at the entire
morning session of the inquiry Of the
house into the strike conditions Of
the Massachusetts mill city today.
Mrs. William H. Taft and several
wives Of congressman were interested
spectators. Lynch told of the efforts
Of the city commission to settle the
strike by bringing the strikers and
mill owners together. Sullivan ex-
planned the police operations during
the strike riots.
He asserted his men were instruct
ed to act carefully and only when
forced to. He told Of the strikers
forming an endless chain and pre-
venting non-union textile workers
from going to work. He said they
pulled off the cars and stoned them,
injuring many innocent non-partisans.
He declared one method of the
strikers to arouse trouble was con-
certed plan of f1ocking through the
stores, keeping the storeIeepers con-
stantly in a state of terror.
The witness testified that there were
several cases where children had been
sent out Of the city without the con-
sent of their parents and that it was
to stop this the police interfered with
the expectation of the boys and girls.
