HandIinu Curtains.

When lace curtains become old there
is always danger Of their being torn in
washing. This can be positively avoid
ed if the curtains are handled length
wise, but not crosswise, Never at

side edge. Try it and be convinced
Many who have old curtains which
they wish to preserve because of their
beautiful patterns will rejoice at hav-
ing made the attempt. This is simple,
but valuable.

An Irish-American, by name Thomas
Braniff, extricated this road from what
appeared to be failure and bankruptcy.
He had emlgrated from Staten Island

ST. Louis corespondence TO New York Herald
War has been declared by society
matrons on the bachelors of ST. Louis

bad manners, and the bachelors in re-
turn have declared war on the matrons.
and a merry contest is expected at the

the forces will line up for a test Of
strength.
II all came about when several of the
members Of the Wednesday Club. which
IL one Of the most exclusive organiZa-
tons of the city. decided to blacklist
those bachelors who have failed to show
proper respect for their hostesses. The
idea Is for each hostess to keep tab on
her guests and compare notes with her
friends, and those bachelors who fall
below the standard will be beycotted and
denied invitations to social functions.
The bachelors in return declare that
hostesses who blacklist any Of their
number will In turn be blacklisted by
them, and that any debutante for whom
these hostesses are sponsors VIII fail
to get invitations to the opera, balls, or
any other social functions. So. as both
sides have thrown down the gantlet Of
battle, it is up to the strongest side So

And there is to be = reform In the man

that of not repeating the invitation. This
also will be drastic one, for the end

be unless she is asked everywhere.

Kent opened the season - the prop

retained by the Brooklyn management

Kent to return there, az he had made
q great showing with that club last

management decided to let Kent go.
Waivers were asked, and a. there was
no response, Kent was sent north.
Later Pittsburgh found itself in need
of young pitchers and decided to seize
Kent.

of the Pirate management and re-
called Kent. He had made an excellent
showing at Toronto. winning his frs:
game there handily. Pittsburgh now

and has refused to waive it, rights.
Brooklyn alleges that the silence OF
Pittsburgh was taken as consent to the

Stranger Tries TO
Kiss Wrong Sister

A fair Greek matron, an irate hus-
band. ana q stranger in the city en-
acted domestic comedy at an early
hour today. and but for hasty explain
atoms and the prompt arrival Of the
bluecoats in the hurry up cart, the
little drama might have come to a
tragic ending.
The scene of the comedy was at the
residence of Greek family on East
Boone street. The stranger. who ar
rived on an early train to visit SIS
ter he had not seen for several years
had planned his visit as surprise to
his relative. lie sought her address IN
a directory and found that she resided
on East Boone street. but on his way
to the sisters home the number of the
house became confused in his mind
and he approached the abode OF the
Greek family by mistake.
The Greek matron answered his
knock on the door. In the dim light
the stranger mistook her Tor his SIS
ter. and advanced to embrace the
woman and imprint brotheriy KISS
upon her rosy cheek.
The woman was startled pS tne
strangers bold movement and her out
CRY brought her stalwart husband On
the scene. The husband sized up the
situation at a glance and advanced
upon the stranger with the evident IN
tent to do battle. The stranger en-
deavored to explain, and the Greer
thought his explanations should DC
m ado to the legal authorities. He called
the police and then parleyed with his
unwelcome guest until City Marshal
!Iase entered on the scene. Expiana-
1iens were made. and with the AID OF
the city marshal the complications
were unravale1 without recourse te
6sticuffs or to the filing OF informa
tons.
The strangers sister was found &c
1.-Two next door to the Greek family.
