Suggestions For Shy Folks.

As shyness is at least awkward, bash
fulness tends to take away charm and
grace. am giving six cures for shy
ness:
/. Remember that other people are
pretty nearly sure to be just as shy OF
YOU as you are Of them, even if they
don't show it at all. Try to put them
at their ease. and by the time you have
done so you will be quite at ease your
self.
2 Get firmly into the mind the fact
that there is no disgrace at adj in being
shy. and that Won needn't be bit shy
of admitting that you are shy. Many of
the greatest men and women the world
has ever known have been troubled in
the same way all through their lives.
3. Don't plan beforehand what you
are going to say or do, for this will
only help You to be nervous and worried.
Fiji your mind with something else till
the great moment comes and then speak
or act quite naturally.
T. Remember that no one is think
ing half as much about you as you are
about Yourself Therefore dozens of lit
tie trihes-an unfortunate word or an
awkward movement or anything of that
kind-will slip past other people quite
unnotieed, though they seem terrible to
you.
3. Realize that you are not really the

Magnesia Useful in Cleaning.

A small square block OF msgnesia,
costing but a few cents, is most useful,
writes a Brookline reader OF the Mont
tor. Fine lace. she says, that cannot or
ought not to be washed, may be cleaned
BY rubbing a good quantity of magnesia
on it, then laying it away for while IN
blue tissue paper. If it is much soiled,
keep it in the paper for week or more,
lace will be soft and clean and none OIL
its beauty marred.
After each wearing of white silk
gloves. which soon lose their sickness
by washing, rub them with the block of
magnesia, and they will not need wash
ing for a long time.
White canvas shoes can be kept clean
in the same way Whenever the shoes
are worn, wipe them off with clean
cloth. then apply the magnesia before
putting them away. The next time they
are to be worn, dust off the magnesia,
and they will be fresh and clean. Lit
tie white crochet collar pins can be kept
clean the same way.
The soiled collar of an unwashable
silk waist may be much freshened by
applying magnesia over night, and the
longer il remains on it the better tho
result.
After trial, the practice of using
magnesia on all unwashable neck fur
nishings, lace yokes, etc, recommends it
self. but it is better not to let the ar
ticle get too soiled; rather keep it clean
by frequent application. As there is
nothing about magnesa to injure any
fabric, it may be used freely to advan.
tage.

FOUR MEN

Crowd in Street Looks on
While Robbers
Act

Chiclgo, Sept. l2.-Four men attacked
Warrington McAvoy, messenger for the
Garfield Park State Savings bank, in
full view of hundreds of pedestrians on
West Madison street yesterday, knocked
him down, seized valise containing 81
600 in cash and $4,000 in checks and
escaped in an automobile. They sped
west on Madison street to Forty second
street and disappeared.
MeAvoy, as was his daily custom, left
the bank to make the rounds of other
institutions with which the Garfield Park
bank carried on an exchange. As he
left the door, four men leaped out of
an automobile standing at the curb and
stepped toward min.
One struck the bank messenger in the
face, knocking him down. A second
seized the valise and tossed it into the
tonneau of the car. The quartet then
jumped into the automobile, put on full
speed and were out of sight almost be-
fore McAvoy struggled to his feet.
