PUTTING AWAY SUMMER CLOTHES

If housekeepers would only realize
how much worry could be avoided by
a little extra work in the fall, they
would not throw the summer gar
ments into a trunk dirty, full of
starch and holes. Some say they do
not have time to do the mending and
cleaning, etc. Now it takes no more
time to do a task at one time than
another and it certainly has to be
done sooner or later. Wash all cloth
ing made of cotton to remove dirt
and starch. Do not iron. as that
causes them to turn yellow. Starch
left in causes them to rot. Put on
new bands, work and rework button
holes, sew on buttons, sew up all rips,
put on little patches, and mend torn
lace and ruffies. Mems underwear
and stockings should be carefully
looked after.
Suits aud dresses should have the
spots removed; be we'll brushed and
packed away with paper between.
Such treatment lengthers the dur
ability of a garment.
Many people. who can i'll afford
new garments, take no thought OF
their care. and consequently get little
in return for their money and lay the
blame on the manufacturers.

it does not need to be screwed down

ready, put on the wash boiler, put a

pour in water until it reaches tie

as pleasure, we know nothing better
than the old time singing school, and
we are glad to note that they are be-
coming quite the thing in the ex-
treme eastern cities.
Everybody likes to sing. There is
nothing that will draw people togeth-
er more closely. Children properly
guided will take more pleasure in it
than most anything else, and besides
there is no danger in it for anyone.
A singing society should be organ
lied, no matter how small. If it
isn't, trouble is sure to come. There
should be a vote taken by ballot
whether a leader is to serve by the
month or season. If by the month,
take those having the most votes on
the first ballot. If you are to meet
four months, take the four with the
most votes; the one having the high
est number serving the first month,
and so on.
The leaders should meet and decide
by vote what kind of music to use,
etc.
Among people who have not belong
ed to chorus for some time, jealousy
is apt to crop out and each one sup
pose himself to be possessed with the
most kno wledge, and are apt to be
fault finding. In city choruses, that
disposition is soon taken out Of one.
No one who has any manners, pre-
sumes to dictate, no matter how much
be may differ in opinion. Every
thing is left to the leader. There is
nothing gained by quarreling over
the length of dotted note. The best
leaders differ little in that respect.
Members should make up their
minds not to be jealous of each other.
People, who have big voices. must
recognize the value Of the sweeter
ones; and those with the little voices
should do the same. Each kind has
it's good points and value.
Then there is another point IN re-
gard to volume. Be careful about
trying to sing loud. Such singing is
not music, it is noise. Its only after
one has taken up the study OF voice
culture that he realizes anyone can
yell, but it takes a good singer to
sing softly. The unframed singer
does not know how to use the body
muscles, hence his tones are not
beautiful if he forces them. Women
just yell, that's all.
During the time l was a country
school teacher, I had these choruses
in the school house. Setting aside
Friday evening to work with the pu-
pills and anyone else that desired to
come. 1t is needless to say the house
was always filled with earnest learn
ers, old and young. The order was
always perfect after the opening tap,
and those meetings made difference
in the homes. Women who worked
hard did it with song in the heart
as we'll as on the lips; the good man
whistled at his work. the children

THE LEAST OF THESE.

Beside dusty road. fiat, hot and
long,
Gray lined with half-dead grass, a
ragged weed
A goldenrod, unmeet to raise a song
Of praise to God or bring to pass
deed.
Of help to man, fought hardly for
life,
And down the way Flooding wo-
man came,
Scared with the blazing heat and
gray with dust,
Work wearied, old, stream with
out name
And sinking in dry sand. Because
she must
She lived, nor felt the bitter joy of
strife.
"What use,'' l cried, "that these
who cannot give
A finger-lift to help the world should
fight
A heartless, hopeless battle but to
live
Who long unspeakably for death and
night?"
But in the morning on the goldenrod
The dewdrops sparkled bright a
song to God;
A Bob-o'-Lincoln swinging on the
spray
Cascaded forth his matin roundelay.
An aldermanic bee with 'broidered
vest
Was glad to make it's fringe a place
of rest;
An ant climbed to leaf with weary
feet
To find refuge from the MONDAY
heat;
And in the afternoon tired child
Saw it's faint glow of cheerful gold
and smiled.
What of the woman? If our kindly
God
Would give weed in the drouth-
stricken spot
A worthy task, she will not be for
got
Whose life weighs more than fields of
goldenrod.

than forty riders were out with the Amer
lean foxhounds Of the Meadow Brook Club

over the hilly country OF Nassau County
during which two foxes were Jumped and
gave the field a merry chase
Owing 10 a heavy wind blowing from
the northwest scent did not hang as we'll
as usual. and hounds could not trail so
fast as they would have under other con-
ditions.
There were more women I'm the hunting
party than men, and they acquitted them
selves with credit throughout the run,
keeping well up with hounds and riding
true to the line.
Hounds were put down on the r. Am
brose Clark place, and within a few min
utes had a sturdy cub up and going. The
fox evidently had not been hunted before,
as he made straight point Of three
miles through the Morgan place and over
the Ellis property. then doubled back TO
the Morgan place and lodged under the
fence Of the elk run on the Winthrop
place, where hounds could not go
A good sized dog fox was Jumped later
and gave the field another good run for
half an hour. but the wind was blowing
so strong that hounds were at fault many
times. and at the end OF half an hour
they were blown Off" and the hunt party
disbanded.
Among those out were Mr.. and Mrs.
