ImnracticahiIitx.

This thing of doing in Rome as the
Romans do is not always the best
plan, says the Popular Magazine. If
you don't believe it Miss Jane Adams,
the famous sociological worker of Chi
cago, will tell you a story to prove it.
Miss Adams knew a wealthy Wom-
an who delighted in doing works Of
charity, such as sending missionaries
to foreign fields, and on one occasion
she put up the money to send a mis-
sionary to the Caroline Islands. Soon
after his arrival on the scene of his
activities the religious man sent his
benefactress a photograph of himself
and his wife.
Whereupon the rich woman wrote
the man Of God a letter, suggesting
that his wife, in order to win the con-
fdence of the natives, should throw
away her fine clothes and wear the
costume of the islands. Two months
later she received this answer:
Enclosed is the complete costume
worn by native women. My wife
awaits further word from you before
adopting it,
The native dress consisted Of
piece of woven straw. two inches wide
and eight inches long.

For soiIed Coat Collars.

To clean coat collars try the follow
ing way: Instead Of a cloth, which
has to be kept in motion for a long
while to avoid leaving a ring in place
of a spot, use an old tooth brush. Dip
it into the naphtha until thoroughly
saturated, then a few brisk rubs and
the spot or CRIME has left for parts
unknown. The most delicate velvet
can be cleaned in this way, though it
would not be advisable to use brush
on any fabric like satin.
