HOW A GIRL FAsTENs VEIL

The following is taken from the
June Woman's Home Companion:
Fastening a veil around large
hat is one of the trials of girls life;
either the pins come out or there
are holes and general untidy APP
pearance.
Take long thread of heavy sew
ing silk the color of the veil, run it
in large stitches around the yelling,
then put it loosely around the crown
of the hat, fastening the ends at the
back, and adjust the fullness evenly.
when the hat is put on, pull the
veil down, pinning it in the back, and
you have properly arranged veil
which will stay, as it can remain on
the hat until the veil is renewed, if
you so DESIRE

WARDROBE BOX

A space saver is the wardrobe box
which fits under the bed. This box
is suspended from two metal arms. or
bars. which are affixed to the bed.
This makes 1t possible to draw the
box in and out without trouble. The
box does not touch the floor. so
there is no possibility of dust accumu-
lating under it, and the bed, with the
box in position, may be moved at will.
The boxes, which are provided with
hinged covers, come in different sizes
and are designed for different pur-
poseS

English tea less palatable:
In Japan We take more pains to

We do not pour it on the leaves until
1t is almost lukewarm. We never drink
this tea hot. We let 1t infuse for two
or three minutes in an open bowl. We
pour the beverage into small cups and
drink slowly, so that We taste TO the
full the exquisite flavor. That is i'm
possible III you take large gulps with
your food.

are taken, and in many houses the tea

SOME QUEER LEGACIES

two years with a new one on which each
nephew in turn should cause to be
chiselled an appropriate verse setting
forth his love and affection" AS the
bequests were in the shape of annuities
from bulk fund the nephews in order
to draw upon the fund for their income
had to comply with the demands of the
decedent. One nephew sued and was
beaten. Although under the terms of the
will he was to forfeit his share for con-
testing, the will was so construed and
interpreted that he still received his an
nuity, but subject to the new tombstone
conditions.
Jabez Hollster of Montreal left his
two sons the use of a corn razor that
he-a cutler-had specially ground and
fixed up for chiropodic use. For the
sake of their health and the risk they
ran from blood poisoning If other corn
cutters were used" the sons were adj
monished to use no other cutter and a
cash amount was to be forfeited If they
disobeyed. One son, after he had recov-
cred from the shock of his fathers DEATH
laughingly told the lawyers that he had
never had corn in his life. But the
lawyers insisted that his father was likely
to have known whether he had or not.
A Louisville widow found that when
her husbands will was opened he had
bequeathed her his bath robe. And these
were the words that went with the be-
quest. 'Inasmuch as she has deprived
me so often of the comfort and convent
ence of the garment that was bought for
my own personal use. by wearing the
aforesaid bath robe at times when I de-
sired and needed it most, | bequeath it
to her with all my love and hope she will
ever find it the same tried and faithful
servitor even though Providence should
bless her with another husband who may
have a bath robe to spare. The decedent

When they opened the will of Miss
Mathilda Tommet in Milwaukee the other
day they found that one of her bequests
was a pair of old shoestrings given to a
woman relative with whom she had been
on friendly terms for many years. There
did not appear to be any sarcasm or i'll
feeling connected with the legacy, and
judged by the common sense way in
which the remainder of her property was
bestowed there did not seem to be ground
for the suspicion that the decedent was
not in her right mind, says the New York
Sun.
The cases are numberless in which odd
things have been bequeathed and count
less have been the contests to break wills
that contain provisions along lines similar
to that of Miss Tommets will In New
Orleans there died not long ago a wealthy
old man noted for his shrewdness in busi-
ness deals. One of the bequests of his
very long will was hair brush that he
had used for many years.
This brush he gave to a nephew. Sam
uel Thompson Finnerty-who had been
named after the old man-with the pro-
viso. however, that the brush should be
Kept in the Finnerty family vault one
month out or II and IN manogany boX
containing an electric belt that the deced-
ent had worn for years. The acceptance
of the brush, conditional on carrying out
the old mans wishes, meant that the
nephew was to inherit and enjoy two
thirds of the estate. The rest of the will
was sound and tight in every respect
according to the lawyers.

too deeply. The hair grays too soon.
Weary housewife, take courage. The
day is -dawning.
Already the housewife of city or town
is relieved of much of her drudgery by
the blessed hand of inventive genius. And
on the farm, where the load is heaviest,
farmers are beginning to awaken to the
fact that their wives need assistance and
rest. They are buying more labor saving
machinery for themselves and their hands
(which is good, and they are buying more
labor saving devices for their households,
which is better.
More and more farmers are investing
their money in running water systems
for their homes and in dish washing ma
chimes and clothes washing contrivances.
The silo stands on the farm as a monu-
ment to the farmers forethought in the
matter of cattle raising. Beside it stands
the windmill that tells of water brought
ously in buckets from the WELL
The ''old oaken bucket" sounds we'll
in poetry but the creak of the windlass
Is echoed too often in the creak Of the

You are not doing your full duty to-
ward your wives il you let them wear
out in preventable toll. Take warning
from the woman who preferred jail to
continued life of drudgery
And, above all, be considerate and gen.
