San Francisco? San Francisco?

The Yankee felt called upon to
check the foreign usurper.
"Porrterr!"
"Yassah!"
Don't let that fellow monopolize
you. He probably won't tip you at

The porter grew confidential:
"Oh, know his kind, sab. They
don't tip you for what you do do, but

Then he took from his pocket an
envelope addressed to Ira Lathrop Il

contract, and studied 1t grimly. The
envelope bore Chinese stamp.
The porter, as he struggled with an
obstinate window. wondered what
sort of passenger fate would send him

The car jolted and walled on its
way like an old drifting rocking

no occasion for haste. Somebody got
on or got off at almost every corner,
and paused for conversation while
the car waited patiently.
Mallory looked at his watch, and
Marjorie's hopes dropped like a

asked how long 1t would take them to

SOME CLEANING HINTS
METHODS THAT WILL BOTH rem
ovATE AND PRESERVE.
Use Spirits Of Wine, With Warm Wa
ter, to Freshen satin-Proper Care
Of lGIass--Washlne Soda
~ for Silver.

To Clean Satin.-Take equal proper
lions of spirits of wine and warm wa
ter, sponge the satin on the right side
with this, working down the material
and not across it. While still damp,
iron on the wrong side.
Another plan Is to clean the satin
with the following mixture: Four
ounces Of honey, the same quantity Of
melted soap mixed with one egg and
one wineglass OF gin, using stiff
brush. When the satin appears clean,
rinse in cold water: press between
clean cloths to dry or hang up to
drain.
Iron while still damp, and thorough
fy dry before folding.
Care of Glass.-There Is nothing
that repays one more for careful wash
ing and drying than glass. First one
must have bowl of warm water soft
ened with dissolved soap, which
makes a very good lather. Too hot
water should not be used, as it might
crack the glass.
Have bowl of clean water to rinse
the glass In after washing 1t and IL a
very fine polish be desired on 1t have
a third bowl Of cold water with little
ammonia in it. Wash each article sep
arately, rinse it well, and dry with a
soft glass cloth, which should be made
of linen or little, fluffy particles will
stick to the glass and. spoil the ap-
pearance.
When 1t is washed and dried polish
with a leather kept for the glass, or
with silk handkerchief or with some
soft tissue paper.
How to Clean Silver.-Have an alu-
minum pan containing about two gal
Ions Of cold water. In this dissolve
piece of washing soda about the size
Of an egg, and heat the solution to
boiling point. Drop into this the sill
yer to be cleaned, taking care to keep
the whole at boiling point. Let the
silver soak for three or four minutes.
Lift out with wire spoon or long
handled fork, wash in hot soap suds
and wipe quickly with perfectly dry
towel. The pieces SO cleaned will be
as highly polished as when new
This process will neither injure
plated nor solid ware. When all the
silver is finished, if there are any
pieces that do not look white and
clear, rub them with a little dry whit
ing and a dry buster; then polish off
with a soft, dry cloth.
To Wash Feather Boa-Prepare a
soap lather and one or two lukewarm
rinsing waters. Place the boa in the
soap lather and wash it by squeezing
between the hands till quite clean
Rinse 1t well to take out all the dirty
water and soap.
When this Is done, squeeze the wa
ter out of the feather and roll in a
cloth, which will absorb the moisture.
Take hold of the boa by the ends and
twist each in the opposite direction,
thus giving the natural twist to the
boa. Fasten a piece Of tape to each
and tie these to line to prevent the
twist from becoming undone. Shake
the boa to separate the fronds, and
leave it until quite dry, occasionally
shaking it to keep the fronds apart
The drying process should be done
in warm place, SO that it will dry
quickly, and the fronds thus become
fluffy, when it is ready for curling.

the roads were anything but that,
but that mattered little as a big
crowd came in four-horss wagons,
mudboats or any way possible. A
big basket dinner was feature of
the day, although the literary pro-
gram held first place. Miss Mary

and rendered vocal solo in ad-
