les of her letter, as she will say the
same thing to each. Then If she
wants to add a little personal note at
the end Of each, she does 30. In this
manner they all get a letter at one
sitting.
A good idea for one who likes to
write interesting letters Is to make
notes on the envelopes of unanswered
letters, jotting down things from dsy
to day that will be interesting. then
when the time ome for the leisure
to answer the letter, the suggestions
will help, as one Is so apt to often
leave out the most important item OF
all.

1t is frequently desirable to clean
glass in windows, mirrors, picture
frames, showcases and the like with
put the use of water or other liquids
which are liable to drop or be spatter-
ed in the operation. An inventor has
recently hit upon the scheme of clean
Ing the window with a dry cleaning
material, which is rubbed owe the
glass and which removes all dirt from
the surface. The cleaning material
Is placed on a band Of cloth supported
in a frame similar to that shown
herewith. The cloth band is wound
on two rollers and may be fed from
one to the other whenever it is desir-
ed to bring q fresh surface into play.
At the point of application the cloth
passes over a felt covered plate. Di-
rectly back of this plate is a knife,
which may be used for scraping such
particles of dirt as adhere very strong
~ to the glass. With this device the
glass can be cleaned without the use
sf any liquids.

WITH OR WITHOUT CHEMISETTE AND
THAT CAN BE MADE HIGH OR LOW AT
THE FRONT.
Sleeves and collars make two important
features of the latest styles. The long, or
epaulette, shoulder line is CONSPICUOUS and
variations of the Directoire collar seem to
know no end. This blouse Is made with
long sleeves that are of a quite new and
interesting kind and with a collar that
can be treated in two quite different ways.
1t can be worn with OF without the chemi,
settle, too, and the model Is an excellent
one both for the odd waist and for the
entire gown. In the illustration, 1t Is
made of white charmeuse with trimming
of amber, for yellow on white is much
worn just now, but it Is adapted to all
reasonable materials and colors. The
sleeves are cut with extensions over the
shoulders on to which the fronts and the
back Of the blouse are Tapped. They fit
closely at the wrists and can be finished
with or without cuffs and, whichever way
the collar is treated, it can be worn with
the open throat or with a tiny little chemi
settle as preferred.
For the medium size, the blouse will
require 81 yards Of material AZ, ~
yards SO or a. inches wide with "a yard
27 inches wide for the collar and cuffs, "A
yard 10 for the chemisette.
The May Manton pattern OF the blouse
1888 is cut in sizes from "a to 40 inches
bust measure. 1t will be mailed to any
address by the Fashion Department Of
this paper. on receipt Of ten cents.

MUSTUsE EMBROIDERY HOOPS
Experts Realize That tho Best Work
Can Not Be- Accomplished
Without Them.

Experts in embroidery work real
lie 1t Is necessary to use embroidery
hoops or frames even for the small
est piece of work If they would keep
1t smooth. They also keep the stitches
from drawing, and are an assistance
when shading with colored silks, In
allowing the embroiderer to observe
the light and shadow on the silk when
held against the material.
Sets Of hoops Of assorted sizes can
be bought for q few cents apiece. One
hoop in the set Ia a little larger than
the other, but In order to hold the
work firmly In the frame you must
wrap each with narrow strips OF mus
lin or some soft cotton material un-
til one hoop fits very closely over the
other.
The fabric to be worked Is arranged
by placing 1t over the smaller hoop;
then, drawing it smooth and even, the
larger hoop Is pressed firmly down
over 1t so az to hold tho goods with
an aver tension without straining 1t.
II the work ia too large for the hoop
you are using, finish n portion Of
the design before changing the work
in the hoop, and keep the unfinished
portion pinned up in 4 neatly folded
roll while you are working. For heavy
work or embroidery on heavy mate
rial, a plain picture frame, or the
frame OF an old slate will do nicely
to stretch the work over.
The edge OF the material can be
basted over the frame, OF IL the ma
terial Is a little too small to allow for
this, you can sew owe and over the
frame, catching the stitches into the
material as you work, drawing them
tight. This must be done with heavy
linen thread that will not break or
stretch.

patchwork" 10 About the Only Way
Properly to Describe Some Of
the Creations.

To apply the word patchwork to GER

b~lousemakers SEEM far from kind,
but one is at a loss how otherwise to
describe them. Nowadays, indeed,
one picks up deliberately q motif of
embroidery, a square Of linen or Ve-
netian lace, a piece Of broderie An
glaise and some odd scraps Of lace,
which need not match, and all of
these, placed skilfully together, pro-
duce a result hat is naturally unique
but is at the same time dainty and
original.
Many of the most exclusive houses
make q fine art Of these bIouscs, and
they are very expensive, for the lace
Of which they are made is real and
often valuable and old.
But the patchwork blouse may be
made very successfully from odds and
ends of the sales-if with the addition
Of some scraps OF real lace which

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
Purify Polluted Water,


The following method OF puri-
flying water from a polluted well
or other impure source of supply
Is given In the Chicago health de-
partment bulletin:
dissolve a teaspoonful of
chloride Of lime In a cupful Of
water. making sure that all
Jumps are thoroughly broken up,
then add three more cupfuls Of
water. Stir the mixture well and
allow to stand for q few &C.
onds In order that any solid par
ticles may settle. This mixture,
II kept in a tightly stoppered bot
tie, may be used for four or five
days, when a new solution should
be prepared. Add one teaspoon
full Of this milky looking solution
to each two gallons of water to
be purified and stir thoroughly
in order that the weak chlorin So
luton will come In contact with
all the bacteria which may be
present. Allow this to stand for
ten minutes. This will give ap-
proximately one-half part of free
chlorin to 100000 parts of wa
ter. and will effectually destroy
all typhoid and colon bacilli or
other disease germs In the water.
The water will be without taste
or odor and the trace Of free
chlorin will rapidly disappear.
This method Is one which Is now
recommended In the health lit
erature of the country. On &C.
count Of its simplicity. effective
ness and small cost. 1t Is partte-
ularly well adapted for use BY
private families. campers and
those living In summer resorts"
