ALCOHOL TO REMOVE
GRASS STAINS

Alcohol is the best agent for remov-
ing grass stains from white dresses.
This is the season when every small
girl and boy who goes for a romp in
the park seems to get covered with
the stain of the fresh young grass. II
the stain is rubbed at once with alco-
hol until it seems ioosened. it can then
be washed in soap and water in the
usual way.

LINGERIE CLAMPS
A NOVEL DEVICE

In the shops they are selling little
devices that look not unlike tie clasps.
Ask what they are for and the sales
woman will explain that they are lin
gerie clamps, designed TO catch the
shoulder straps of ones lingerie and
make it possible to regulate the straps,
longer or shorter as desired. It's a con-
5enient little device and a novel one.

When the clangor of the Wedding bells
comes from afar. winging its way TO the
ears of the bride-to-be. the question OF
just where and how the ceremony Is TO
be performed becomes moot one.

A recent bride. who is socially prom

meant so much work and worry that
she was determined TO be quietly wed
at home and then have big reception
right afterward. eliminating the need
for carriages and other expensive things
and making it possible for her to have
a lot of extra music and delightful deli
cacies to eat at the reception.
Her example could well be followed
by the brides this June, and some ideas
for decorations will not come amiss

the altar of his love.
And I could Just picture him as he
must have stood there before the bar
of justice telling the court of his strug-
gle and disappointment in the game OF
marriage in which he had taken a hand
with such supreme confidence.
For. you see, he had been manly
enough to tell the girl Just the amount
of his salary when he asked her to
marry him; brave enough to point out
to her that the home he would be able
to make for her in the beginning of their
life journey must, of a necessity be
simple; that she must be willing to go
with him out into the unclearedj field
of his endeavor and help him with the
very grubbing before they could enjoy
the fruits of harvest time, and In the
most enthusiastic way she had expressed
her willingness to begin at the begin
ming: her willingness to practice self
denial, to give OF her energy to the
partnership into which she was enter
ing. and her assurances had made the
bridegroon-to-be very happy and very
proud.
Money Began to Go.
And. so, in the very month of June,
when the roses made the earth a place
of wondrous fragrance, they were mar
ried, and the man. not wishing to
scrimp. at least Until the honeymoon
trip was at an end, spent a good deal
of his modest savings on the wedding
journey, astounded at the way a trip
for two has of eating up dollars.
The girl quite in accordance with his
notion of how things should be donel
selected an inexpensive home. and the
remainder Of the mans bank account
went to furnishing the place. he yield

But when the house was furnished.
little Mrs. Bride began to think of the
dozens of beautiful parties which her
friends had given in compliment of her
marriage. and now that she had her
home it was clearly her duty to return
these courtesies OF entertainment IL she
would hold her former friends and keep
in touch with the associations OF her
girlhood.
A bridge party for Marie: a tea for
Marjorie; a reception for Elizabeth. and
another for Edythe-well, they seemed
simple enough little affairs TO little Mrs.
Bride, but when the first months bills
began coming in from her grocer and
butcher and the delicatessen man she
staggered to her room in sheer amaze
ment and spent an afternoon weeping.
But all the tears In the world could not

her partner-or so she thought and so
she did.

Wilson will tolerate no further delay

He will tell them that he will not
stand for protracted consideration OF
this bill in committee, that the coun-

that it must be proceeded with in
stantly. These orders will be obeyed.
On the desk of the President are
two or three matters of routine
character to which he is giving his
personal attention. By Wednesday he
will have them out of the way, AID

ing Of the Pxsfecution's Case

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 6.-Allen r.
Ryan, son of Thomas Fortune Ryan,
gave damaging testimony against
William Sulzer in the high court Of
Impeachment today. His most
striking points We're:
That Sulzer had asked and received
from Ryan $4,000 for expense of his
personal campaign.
That one week before the impeach-
ment trial began, Sulzer asked Ryan
to go to Washington and see Senator
Root and have him tell William
Barnes Jr., to direct the Republican
members of the court to vote in favor
of Sulzer. This statement was later
stricken from the record.
Vital links of Allen Ryaa's story
were supplied by Ignatious McClone,
private secretary to the elder Ryan.
Council for the impeachment mana
gers secured permission to reopen
their case to get Ryan's story and the
testimony of Edward T. Meany, who
as counsel for the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company, is
known in legislative halls throughout
the country.
Meany testified that early in the
campaign he loaned Sulzer $4,000.
The money was given in bills.
Meaney took no security and made
no record of the loan on his books.
Attorneys for Sulzer who have come
into court ready to open the defense
with Louis A. Sarecky, Suffers cam
paiga agent and private secretary, as
the first witness, were dumbfounded.
They fought stubbornly against the
reopening of the prosecutions case
and contested all the testimony at
every step.
In his opening outline of the de-
tense which followed the testimony
of Meaney, Harvey D. Human de-
clared that no evidence would be Of
fered to controvert any of the charges
except those dealing with the collec.
ton and use of campaign funds.
