Bur Mamma Didn't.

Little Mabel was always tumbling
down and getting hurt, but as soon as
her mother kissed the bumped fore
head Mabel would believe it cured
and cease crying. One day she accom-
panied her mother to the Union depot,
and while they were seated in the
crowded waiting room an intoxicated
man entered the door, tripped over a
suitcase, and fell sprawling on the
floor. The attention of every one was
attracted to the incident, and in tXe
sudden silence following the fall Ma
bel called out:
Don't cry, man. Mamma ii kiss

Being Ironed Is of First
Importance.

Iron the Wristbands neckband and
any other stiff starched plaits or
bands, first on the right side, then on
the wrong side. This will give them
the desired smoothness that ironing
first on the wrong side would in some
cases destroy.
Lay the shirtwaist on the ironing
board with the neckband directly in
front of the ironer and parallel with
the front edge of the table. stretch
until smooth, and iron on the right
side until partly dry, then on the
wrong side, and finish on the right
side. Proceed in the same manner
with wristbands. Iron prints on the
wrong side, if possible, because it
gives them more nearly the appear
ance of new and prevents an unde-
s1rable gloss.
When the neckband and cuffs are
finished, lay the wrist on the board
with the neck at the left hand, and
iron the fronts, then the back. It is
best to iron both fronts first. because
they are often trimmed, and will look
better and iron easier if not allowed
to become dry. The back, too dry,
being palmer, can be dampened with
cloth wrung from warm water
Iron we'll into the gathers and until
dry Do not iron across the seams,
but close to them on either side, then
press the seams by setting the iron
directly on them. To iron the sleeve
fold at the seam and begin ironing at
the seam side, being careful not to
iron across the opposite fold, and thus
form crease
After ironing one side, loosen the
two sides by slipping the hand be
tween them, then turn the sleeve over
and iron the other side Now put the
hand in the sleeve at the bottom and
turn it so that the seam lies on the
table and the unironed strip at the
back or outside of the sleeve lies
above it.
With a small iron smooth out this
portion, and, still using a small iron
slip it inside Of the sleeve at the
arms eye, and iron the top of the
sleeve in the gathers. II possible
iron the gathered portion at the cuff
in the same way and iron the sleeves
on the sleeve board.

Shelf Papers.

The next time you are cleaning the
pantry shelves fold at least three
newspapers the longest way of the

Place them on the shelf with the fold
in front and fit snugly. The next time
you want clean paper slip the edge
of knife along the fold of the outer
sheet and remove the soiled top. The
remainder of the sheets will be left
intact for future use, and much time
and labor will be saved to the house
