The question of appealing to the Gen.

been presiding at the sessions.
1t was represented in executive session
that the Baltimore Methodlst could not
be continued unless the conference ral-
He'd to the support OF the paper. The
committee having the publication in
charge was asked to devise some plan
whereby the paper might continue to be
published.
The adoption Of resolutions Of SYM
pathy to be forwarded to Rev. B. F..
Crawford. Of Washington. who is i'll at
the Maryland General Hospital, with a
pleural attack, and the announcement
that more than 500 will be devoted to
the annuity fund. were among other
matters taken up at executive session.
The question Of asking the General Con-
ference TO restore the time limit to pas
tors was favored by a vote of 119 to H.

Doing Up Old Brown Boots.

Old boots and shoes. especially Of the
tan varieties. can be made to do duty
by coloring them black, ana this in a
way that is certain not to fail or crack"
in wet weather. Put the boots on to their
trees. and then sponge with warm water
in which a little soda has been dis
solved, removing all dressing OF polish
which may have collected on the uppers.
When dry. apply two or three coatings
of shoemaker's ink. and finish OF with
any good black paste polish. The boots
will look almost like a new pair. Tan
shoes which are too yellow or light In
color can very easily be darkened by
applying a solution of ammonia and soda
in water. applied at intervals. Each coat
produces a deeper shade. till a good dark
winter brown is reacedh.

POEMS THAT TOUCB

Some mighty work for Him;
To night amidst His battle hosts,
Then sing the victor's hymn.

But Jesus would not have II so.
He placed me in a quiet home.
Whose life was. calm and still,
And gave me little things to do,

Small duties gathered round my way

To watch and strive with daily care.
So then ] thought my prayer unheard.
And asked the Lord once more.
And open wide the door.
Forgetting that my Master knew
Just what was best for me to do.
Then quietly the answer came.

It's Easy to Peel Of
All Your Freckles
Frum American Honel

The contrast between the freckles and
the clear skin usually is so great that
no bleach can be more than partially
successful IN obliterating the disfigure-
ments. Ordinary mercoliZed wax is far
better: IL literally peels of the freckles.
Get an ounce of IL at the nearest drug
store and tonight spread on enough to
completely cover your face; remove in
the morning with warm water. Repeat
daily until every freckle has disappeared.
Rough. blotchy, pimpled skin, also COM
mon at this season. may be entirely got
ten rid Of by this same method, without
discomfort or inconvenience. The effort
Is decidedly worth while, the new COM

WICKER BASKETS
ARE VERY POPULAR
Made in Many Styles to Serve Many
Purposes.

In an unobtrusive way all kinds Of
woven wickerwork objects are coming
into fashion.
They are. perhaps, side iszue OF the
simple life that is preferred by numbers
of people to the complicated one that
involves luxury of all kinds. Or is 1t
that when she buys a brilliantly gilded
basket for her flowers the lover of
pretty things is only playing at the sim
pie life?
PrettiIy shaped brown rustic baskets
and ''pottles' are used to hold fruit as
well as flowers, and the two. when min
gIed. make a practical decoration for
the lunch table. Another useful as well
as ornamental object is a work basket
than can be carried from room to room
1t is enameled, and has 4 cover. SO that
the needlework, even in a dingy town,
may be kept Immediately clean.
- For Use of Nurses.
Standing baskets are also made for
tht use OF nurses, and are more con-
venient than the old-fashioned hand bas-
kets as a receptacle for the infants
clothes. his powder pun. pins. and so
forth. set out in their place for dressing
and bedtime use.
In addition to the tea service trays,
made of rustic wicker, there are some
with glass-covered cretonne bases, rather
more ornamental than the entirely rustic
tray and more stable. for the glass base
makes a better standing point for the
crockery than the rough, uncovered
wicker work.
In addition to the luxurious dog has
kets is a round one brilliantly gilded and
made of the softest straw with decora-
ton of flowers embroidered upon the
top.

basket in which milady's pet can be

Ushers' Duties.

Mr.. B. NJ. E.-As soon as the guests

and taking them up for introductions
With this in view. they gather near the
drawing-room door and are privileged to

LITTLE NOTES FOR THE
SEWING WOMAN

The secret of well fitting shoulders is
to stretch the front and hold the back
loose, in basting the shoulder seam. The
fact that a shoulder is concave IN front
and convex in the back gives the reason
claimed for this.
Russia crash is as srviceabIe and as
artistic for dressing table covers as for
luncheon cloth and between meal table
runners II is embroidered in colors or
stenciled to match the room. of course,
and is sometimes simply hemstitched
with a wide hem.
A pair of bags made of silk. cretonne,
chintz or other dainty material will be
just what is needed to hold the evening
slippers. The bags are narrow and just
long enough to carry a slipper easily.
They are a little rounded at the bottom.
With such bags there is no danger of
the daintiest footwear becoming rubbed
or soiled.
Little bags of lavender in the compart-
ments of trunks that must stand locked
for any length of time sweeten wonder
fully the air that is so apt to grow
musty. II trunk Innings are slightly
scented in this way. dresses and under
wear are more daintily fragrant at the
end of journey than when one folds the
sachet among the garments themselves.
A good rule to follow when determin-
ing the proper position OF sleeves when
placing them in blouse is to fold the
sleeve along the forward seam and crease
ii at the top Of the fold at the opposite
side. This crease marks the point Of the
sleeve that is to he sewed 10 the shoulder
seam. After this measure one inch back
OF the shoulder seam and crease the
blouse at point exactly opposite. On
this crease the forward seam OF the
sleeve is pinned. II is then an easy mat
ter to haste in the under part of the
sleeve and. gathering the upper part OF
the sleeve. haste that in even with the
edge of the armhole.

Fish and Rice-Pick over and make two
cupfuls of salt Goldfish. Cover with boil

of white sauce. Add to II the fish and

To Restore Color.

To Restore Color.
Marion-It will be a dificuIt problem
to restore your sweater to its original
condition. The stain can probably be
removed from the white by dipping it
in javelle water. but the trouble Is that
It will be almost impossible TO put the
body of the sweater In the water with
out further injuring the color of the
collar and cuffs. Probably you can dip
a cloth in javelle water and rub IL on
the stained portion. Rinse the sweater
in cold water Immediately after using
the javeIle water so that the acid will
not injure the fabric. II you will sponge
the collar with ammonia water and then
with chloroform you may succeed in
restoring the color. II some of our read
ers have been in the same dilemma and
have found a way out they may be kind
enough TO help Us.
