Exposition at Buffalo, $4,000 for the
st. Louis Exposition, (the most stu
penduous and valuable publicity affair
ever KNOWN and $4,000 for the
Lewis and Clark Exposition in Port

The governor enquiries If 1t wouldn't
be better for the state to appropriate
$4,000 or 100000 for the San Fran
cisco show and use 100000 Of the pro-
posed half million in improving log

Ways Of Tightening the Housewives
Many Tasks.

II one has grown tired of beading
on undergarments try using two strips
Of lace insertion. one at the back and
one at the front Of the seam, inclosing
the raw edge between them. just as
when putting on o double cuff to the
wrist. of, blouse. Slip the ribbon in
this az through casing. and It will
show through the lace in a very dainty
manner. This plan will especially APP
peal to careful women. who like their
clothing to look as well on the wrong
side as on the right.
When using marking ink for linen
FIRST make the initials on the linen
with an ordinary lead pencil and then
trace with the ink over the pencil
marks. The pencil viii prevent the
ink from spreading and giving the
linen a blotted appearance.
To make kitchen aprons last twice
as long run a seam down the front.
Then when the front Is wearing thin
sew the two sides OF the apron to-
gether and open the front seam and
the apron Is practically a new one.
To prevent pockets from catching on
doorknobs and tearing put them on
wrong side of apron.
An economical idea to make skirts
and petticoats wear longer ia to stitch
a piece of cloth or, cotton flannel the
exact shade of the silk to the back Of
the skirt. where 1t is apt to be kicked
out by the heels Of the shoes. This
has the effect Of indefinitely prolong-
ing the life Of the gown or skirt.
When doing stenciling use plenty Of
plotting paper under the material.
Many pieces Of handsome material
have been ruined for lack Of this small
precaution. Be extravagant in the use
of plotting paper and the results will
be much more satisfactory. The de-
sign will be clear and Of uniform
