In the sixteenth century, however,
middle names were illegal in England.

Royalty were the only privileged

NAIL AS KNOWN TO COMMERCE
Some Few Facts With Which Users

Nails come in various sizes. A tack
is a baby nail which is fond of stand
ing upon it's head in the dark when
you are turkey-tTottiGg around the
room in bare feet, trying in vain to
locate an electric button. An adult
nail is two or three inches long and
comes in boxes which are sent to you
by express upon (which you have to
pay the charges, which have already
been collected by the express company
at the other end. Not being able to
find the hammer. you vainly endeavor
to extract this nail and others of its
kind from the box, both with and
without prayer, until you finally sue
coed in wrenching the top off the box
with superhuman strength while your
wife looks on with superb disdain.
Nails are also used to build houses,
as sinkers OF fish lines, and when ap-
piled internally to the feet, to promote
and foster lockjaw.
They come in vast quantities in
hardware and department stores, but
when you want just one to drive into
the bathroom wall during your wife's
absence to hang a razor strop on, you
might as well look for a needle in a
haystack or a square deal in a state
legislature.-Life.

SOMETHING TO THINK OVER
Is Not and Is What He Really
Thinks He is-One Result.

1t is affirmed that you are what you
think you are, says Life.
If you think you are what you think
you are you will naturally believe
and think that you really think what
you are.
But if you only think what you are
in truth you are more than likely to
think and believe that you only think
you think what you are.
If you think you are what you are
not, then what you think is not what
you are, and what you are is not what
you think. and what you are is what
you think you are not, and what you
are not is not what you think you are
not. but what you think you are.
When what you think you are
is not what you think, you think
you are what you think you are, while,
as a matter of cold and hard fact,
you are what you are and not at all
what you think you think you are.
So. if you truly want to be what
you think you are be sure and think
Only that you are just what you are,
rather than what you think.
And then it must follow that If you
think you are what you are. you are
what you think you are.

SYSTEM IN THE HOUSEHOLD
Means a Wonderful Saving of Time
and Money When 1t Is Prop
ery Worked Out.

A fireless cooker is great boon to
the housekeeper; it saves many steps
for her tired feet, Keeps the kitchen
cool and pleasant, and above all, cooks
the food thoroughly without loss Of
flavor or danger of burning.
One of these lavor-saving devices,
even of the homemade variety, is as
valuable for keeping foods thoroughly
chilled as it is in conserving heat for
cooking processes, so that it is really
a splendid investment for kitchen
equipment.
1t is becoming the tendency more
and more for the housekeeper to put
her work upon a business basis, using
system in her expenditure of time,
money and labor, just as her husband
does, who goes out into the world.
This is evinced by the planning of
meals a week in advance, which not
only removes the nerve strain of daily
marketing, but actually reduces the
living expenses, because the left-overs
may be utilized; these usually find
their way into the garbage can, giving
foundation to the reports of our sin
full waste and extravaganza.
Fortunately, the haphazard guessing
housekeeper who waits until an hour
before mealtime to think of the menu
has almost vanished from the ranks of
modern, up-to-date women. In her
place we have the housekeeper who
appreciates her opportunities for dis
playing her business ability, and who
realizes that there is no profession so
broad as that of homemaking.

to handsome costume, and plain
satin or faille silk is usually COM
hined with the chimefa MORE, one
fabric being looped over the other or
ntertwined with il in apparently SIM
pie but really intricate and hopeless
ly inimitable drapery.
There are three types of modish
skirt from which one may choose ac-
cording to ones inclination and ones
figure. The draped skirt has many
notifications and may combine two
or even three fabrics; the tier skirt
is becoming to slender women, but so
pronounced is its vogue that it is
seen on women OF every degree Of
avoirdupois. Then there is the new
Topped skirt, more popular in Paris
than il has so far become here. The
loop is placed, not at the hem, which
is as narrow as ever, but at a point
between hip and knee, and serves to
distend the tunic or drapery so that
the skirt is wider at this point than
it is at the hem. OF course these
loops are very light and very supple
affairs and do not give the slightest
effect of stiffness to the costume
Even lace and chiffon tunics are loop
ed but so far, only accomplished
French couturiers have acquired the
art of handling the loop successfully.

CHANGING Customs.

A writer in the Washington Post
tells of an old lady who remembered
dining at the White House with Mr..
and Mrs. John Quincy Adams. MIR.
Adams ate with his fork, and Mrs
Adams apologized for it, saying that
he had acquired the habit during his
sojourn in France. Mrs. Adams and
the other guests used their knives
All this is a comment on changing
manner But it should be noted that
Mr.. Adams ate with a four-tined silver
fork, while the other guests had only
two-tined forks, which then were the
common kind. Without the develop
ment of the fuor-tined fork, the habit
OF eating with ones knife would not
have been so rapidly discarded. AS
between a four-tined fork and knife
the fork is to be chosen for convent
ence's sake, out as between a two
tined fork and knife on many occa-
sions the latter would be actually the
more serviceable.

WHEN YOU WASH BLANKETS
Process That Will Not Only Cleanse

Renovation.

The method of washing blankets
recommended by the School of House
bold Science. Macdonald college, is
this:
Things necessary: l. A fine, sun
shiny, windy day. 2. Plenty of soft
water, melted soap, made from good
soap free from excess of alkai. and
some ammonia or borax.
Things to avoid: Heat, rubbing and
rubbing on soap, as these will shrink
the wool.
Process: l. To a tub of tepid mot
Warm) water, add one tablespoonful OF
ammonia or borax (this softens the
water and aids in cleansing, and
enough melted soap to make good
Euds. 2. Wash the blankets by knead-
ing and squeezing never rubbing), in
two waters A good washing machine
is excellent for this, and saves much
hand labor. 3. Rinse in two waters,
of the same temperature as the wash
ing water A change in temperature
will shrink wool. T. Wiring well, using
the wringer, shake well and stretch
well. Attention to these three mat
ters will ensure soft, fluffy blankets.
5. During the drying if they are shaken
two or three times they will be much
softer and fiuffier.
Should it be the case that your
blankets are now hard and discolored

DEPEND ON THE MILLINERY
Couture Styles Must Be Arranged Ae-
cording to the Hat That Is to
Be Worn.

Millinery fashions determine to
great extent what hair fashions shall
be. 1t is necessary to dress the hair
very high or very low in order to
wear the new hats becomingly. In
the case of high hair dressing the hat
fits over French roll, showing only
the soft waves of hair in the back.
Waved hair will be universally ia
vored, as it tends to give fluffy, full
effect to any arrangement. The hair
may be parted either in the center or
on the side, preferably at the side.
The low, fiat pompadour may be worn
with low or high hair dressings. A
fringe across the forehead, and the
little cluster of curls tucked in at the
side or back are becoming touches.
Covering the ears with soft waves
of hair, and the little fringe over the
ness of the new fall hats. Shapes are
small and close fitting, and the hair
in its new arrangement forms pretty
and becoming frame to the face
The following is leading headdress
for fall. Three articles are necessary
to its completion. A, round casque of
hair without wire, and with hole in
the center; a roll of hair over which
the hair is rolled to form a French
twist and 26-inch twist, or two %
inch twists which form the twist and
the swathing around the head.
The hair is waved, forming a fiat
pompadour, brought loosely down over
the ears and to the crown of the head,
where it is tied. The casque is pin
ned to the crown of the head, the
switch being brought through the CEN
ter and divided in two parts; then
it is rolled over the roll, attached to
the head at the top, and again at the
nape of the neck, forming French
roll effect
