Votes for WOmen-1915." Another is
the wonderful old flag made in 1880 by
the few suffragists then in the state
and unfurled in Marietta street here for
the first time when the National Suf-
fragists association met here in that
year. The other banner that will APP
pear in the parade is the Atlanta Civic

Doing the Work Herself.

Get that cabinet maker who did over
the sofa. And have MIN fix that chif-
fonier drawer while he's about it, Can't
open it without knocking everything Off
One of those sideboard drawers sticks
too"
But the cabinet maker informed Hell
en- he would have to take the desk to
his shop, and he could Not tell just how
much it would be-
Helen, who always wanted to know
exactly what thing would cost before
she had it done, resented this, and end
ed by buying some new felt, which she
was now trying to put on herself
When Maggie came back with the
putty Helen unwrapped the newspaper
through which the oil had. already
soaked, and with eager interest felt the
soft, claylike mass. AS child she had
always loved to play with putty, anG
she was soon filling the screw holes and
smoothing them over with an almost
1childish pleasure.
The green felt she had already cut the
| exact size, and now she spread the
scraped desk surface with glue and
carefully fitted it on.
When at length she stood back to
view it there was not wrinkle in the
felt nor lump underneath to mar Its
smoothness,
Elated with the success of that job
Helen went around to see what else
could be fixed up With putty and glue
If ones tastes run to antique furniture
there is always something that needs
attention A piece of veneering was
off the library table and another off the
bookcase, both of which Helen had
saved and which she now glued back
With the can of mahogany stain
which she had opened to touch up a
few places on the desk, she went around
staining over the sears and scratches of
the other furniture
The chiffonier drawer that Warren
had complained about needed only a
little sandpapering to make it run
smoothly. Helen was in her element
for she loved to potter around" and
Elk things up"
General Repairing.
But as yet she had found no other
use for her putty. 1t seemed a shame
to have all that putty and her hands
already grimed up and not be able ia
use any more Of it.
Then, in the dining room, Helen
noticed some fine white plaster dust
that had sfted down the panelled wall.
For some time Maggie had been
grumbling about this, and Helen spoke
to the janitor but he had sent no one
to fix it,
"Maggie!" called Helen, bring me
that kitchen chair. I'll stop this plas-
ter from sitting down right now"
Maggie brought the kitchen chair
and turned it over to form step
ladder. In a moment Helen. with a
lump Of putty in one hand and a knife
in the other, was filling up the Grey
ices at the top of the oak panel
through which the fine dust sifted
That's going to show. ma'am "
warned Maggie, viewing it critically
for the putty was lighter than the dark
wood.
Yes, ! know just hand me that can
of stain there"
Helen had left the stain and the

DAYS Of courtship, for only some de-

her head is on the ground. The man

But there is no hope for the man who

He is making a conquest. He knows

the woman never lived who could pene-

teach him He is hopeless. Better
marry dummy IN a clothing store, or
a boy doll. The pretty man would not
be as good match as a gingerbread

beauty and make a meal Of him.
Moreover, the wife of the pretty man

Resentfully Maggie slammed out the

When in a few moments the bell
rang, Helen climbed down the step

so careless as to lock herself out
Her hands were covered with putty

Clemens, staring at what she thought
was most untidy maid. for any house
maid would have been ashamed to
look as did Helen just then.
With a gasp of establishment and
dismay, Helen had stepped partly be-
! hind the door, but Miss Clemens eye
sight was keener than her mothers.

an amazed tone.

thing really PRACTICAL like Mrs.
Curtis. And it must be such fasclnat-
ing work."
Neither the emphasis on practical
nor the sarcasm beneath this speech
escaped Helen.
yes, and it's very economical" she
added def1antly, for she knew they
were thinking she did such things only
because she was too penurious to hire
them done. 'They charge so much for
these odd jobs-it seems a shame to
pay it when l really love to do them
myself"
You are quite right" gushed Mrs.
Clemens, land I'm sure Mr.. Curtis must
appreciate your cleverness."
Helen could hardly control hyster-
ical desire to laugh as she thought how
Warren roared at her for, as he ex-
pressed it, always trying to do things

Now that she had started, Helen had
a perverse desire to make as bad an
impression as possible She took

over their shocked sensibilities. How
they would talk about her after they

Household Suggestions

To bleach ivory ornaments or piano
keys the following method works we'll
The ornaments are first washed or
Soaked" if possible in a bath of I'M
slaked lime which has in it a few
ounces of bran and water This should
make a pasty solution if properly
mixed, and will bleach the ivory which
is discolored or stained. 1t should be
rubbed off with a cloth and the ivory
dried in magnesia powder. After a few
minutes a few strokes with a cloth give
the ivory a brilliant polish,
The following is an admirable way of
cleaning white fur or children's white
wooden tam-o- 'shautcrs-in fact, any
thing that can not be washed: Get a
pound of white powdered starch, put it
into a deep vessel, then rub the article
to be cleaned in the powder. Shake
the starch off the article, and it will be
found to be as clean as when it was
first bought.
Boots or shoes that have been wet

may be softened by the application of a
little paratfin The oil should be APP

also acts as a preservative Of the leath-

Instead of lining the drawers in the
bed room with newspaper give them a
coat Of good white paint. This is much
nicer than paper. and when cleaning is
necessary All that is required is 70 wipe
them out with a damp cloth.

Happenings of Local Interest

The work of excavating was started Tuesday for the new Jour- nal building to be erected on the corner of Main and Second streets, and work on the building will probably begin in a few days. The building will be one story brick.
 The entertainment given by the band at the High School Auditor ium Friday night was enjoyed by a large crowd. The band is mak- ing excellent progress and was freely complimented by all upon the good music rendered. Several numbers on the program by music pupils of the High School were splendid, and the entertainment was pronounced by many as one of the best of the season.

CLEANUP PROCLAMATION

1, E. H. Williamson, as Mayor of the Town of Newark, Arkansas, designate and proclaim, Wednes- day, April 2, 1913, as general clean up day in the town of Newark. We kindly ask all families to clean up all old rubbish lying around their homes and burn the same. And such as old cans you are re- quested to please crush, so they will not hold water to create mos- quitos. It is further requested by the Civic Improvement Club that all toilets throughout the town be mulched heavily with ashes or lime. Ashes Is something every family has, and our Town would be much benefited if they were used more freely in the outhouses.
