interior and has liberal number of
compartments. several of which con-

The envelope shaped hand bag is still
in strong demand and the very long

height of smartncss this fall. It is
beautifully lined with MORE silk, but,
of course. the space is too limited for
anything save utility compartments
such as change and bill partitions. In
dressy bags the balloon type is the best
liked. Indeed, the trade has dubbed
this model the bag OF extreme impor-

Right Way to Clean Windows

F windows are easily reached the

deal longer if it is busted regularly in

paper is the best thing to use. and II
this is sprinkled with a few drops of
ammonia or parafin it will serve for
window cleaning also
When windows are to be washed
they should be busted first with the
newspaper pad II very dusty In this
way the cleaning and polishing will be
more easily done. A teaspoonful of
ammonia or paraffin TO each half gall
Ion of warm water makes a good solu-
ton, or cold water and washing blue
may be tried. Chamois leather is ex-
cellent for the final polishing.
In frosty weather methylated spirit
is useful, or the newspaper pad may be
sprinkled with paraffin and no water
at all used,
Windows must never be cleaned
when the sun is shining on them, and
all cloths used must be free from lint
Experience seems 10 prove that differ
ent kinds of glass respond to different
methods of cleaning. but in every case
newspaper or tissue paper pads are
recommended for the final polish and
sprinkle of paraffin will make the eff
feet more satisfactory.
window brush is useful for clean
ing the outside OF downstairs windows.
Its long broom handle should have a
metal socket at the end. into which AZ
other similar handle fits. for cleaning
the upper panels. With this and a
pail of blued water the lower windows
are readily cleaned, but they must be
well rinsed. Splashes of paint which
have hardened on the windows may be
removed by means of hot vinegar or a

that lacquefed curtain rods used for

Monterey, Cal, to Portland, Ore, ran
aground on Peacock spit while cross
ing into the Columbia river during a
fifty-ftve-mile gale thirty-one mem
bers of her crew OF thirty-tive were
lost.
One survivor of the wreck was re-
ported to have reached shore at Tt
oga. Wash, six miles from the scene
of the disaster, and the Point Adams
lifesaying crew rescued three other
men. The men had taken refuge in
the rigging of one Of the masts when
the ship went down. For many hours
they chung there, the waves breaking
over them repeatedly. Two of the
men were taken from their perch.
while the third, who had leaped into
the sea when the lifeboat neared the
spot, was taken from the water
The Rosecrans was hurled upon the
rocks Of Peacock Point at the same
place where the steamship General
Washington went aground a year ago
Owing to the thick weather the plight
of the Rosecrans was not learned for
several hours. When her perilous
position became known tugs and tn
Fort Candy and Point Adams hfesay
ing crew hurried TO her aid.
When the tugs reached the neigh
borhood OF the tanker she was found
to be hard aground and the high seas
and driving winds made a near ap-
proach impossible. The wrecked yes
sci soon shifted and began TO break
up and before tAe tugs and lifesavers
could get near enough to put line
aboard she slipped off the rocks and
sank until only her masts and the fun
mel appeared above the water, with
three men OF the crew clinging to the
