Crushes Out of Fashion.

There was a time when hOstesses
rided themselves on the numbers of
people they had at their parties. Once
they asked all and sundry, SO that they
could afterward boast Of what a big
affair it was.
But they found that nobody really
enjoyed these 'crushes." There was
not room enough. They left the house
feeling much more annoyed than if
they had not been invited. SO now ex-
perienced hOstesses limit guests to a
number they can comfortably enter
tain. Nobody has to stand all the
evening because there are not enough
chairs. Nobody finds himself wedged
in a corner whence it is impossible for
him to extricate himself.

AIR OPERATED TOOLS.
Frequent Cleaning and fabrication
ProIono Their Efficiency.

VVOSOU0 SU0SV cU1SsoUSys
The care Of pneumatic hammers, as
all other classes Of machinery. has an
important effect Of. the results obtain
| cd with these tools. One Of the impor-
| tant factors connected with their care
is to keep them clean and we'll lubri-
Gated. says X. l.. S%treeter in the En-
]yineering Magazine. The hammers are
kubjected to hard usage and abuse by
| the me who handle them. the moving
parts are accurately and closely fitted.
and when they are subjected to that
objectionable Offense of being neglect
ed in the way Of fabrication they soon
refuse to work.
AS air taken into the compressor
| often contains some particles Of dust
and grit. it is almost impossible to pre-
. vent this foreign matter from entering
the hammer. causing the ports to be-
come clogged and rendering the ham,
mel imperative. The use of a poor
grade of heavy bodied oil will cause
the same trouble. A good plan to fol-
low in such cases is to clean by using
benzine freely through the throttle
handle. This dislodges all foreign
matter and cuts the thick Oil. which
can then be removed by blowing
through the hammer.
Another source of trouble is ONE
times located in the pipe line. Mois-
ture carried in the air will rust the
pipes. and if Il hammer is connected up
without first blowing out the line Il
sediment is liable to be blown into the
hammer. causing the valve and piston
to stick. The rubber of the hose de-
teriorates very fast and little particles
Of this may be blown into the hammer.
1t is Il good plan to submerge the
hammer occasionally over night in a
bath Of benzine, then blow out under
pressure the following morning and
lubricate with a good quality of light
oil or. better still. a special oil which
is manufactured particularly for such
tools.
When the air usually contains for
eign matter strainers or filters should
be attached to the tool or placed in the
line near the tool.

POTTED FERNS.

They Make Charming Plants For In.
door Decoration.
Ferns are the rivals of palms in the
affections of the indoor gardener and
are considered by many the more
charming plants. No one can dispute
the beauty of the graceful maidenhair
or its more hardy sister. the Boston
fern.
The former, while exceedingly diff
cult to raise, will fully repay all care.
The chief requirement for ferns is an
absence Of water OF the leaves. for it
scorches them and dries them just as
though a fire had passed v them.
Ferns. however. require an ample
supply Of water at their roots at all
times. though during November, De-
cember and January they are resting
and the amount may then be lessened.
They need only a small amount of sun
but the temperature must be as even
as possible. as they cannot stand
| violent changes.
The Boston fern belongs to the
sword fern family. During the last
few years 1t has become one of the
most popular varieties. and deservedly
so. for It is easily grown and unusually
pretty.
For the woman who is on the look
out for oddities there are the Platy-
ceriums, a small family of epiphytal
ferns. They r pretty in baskets or
shallow pans. though they may be
fastened to blocks Of wood with q little
peat or sphagnum about their roots.
They must be kept wet and they thrive
in q warn room.

Juvenile Evening Attire.

Girls and boys under the age of sev
enteen never need wear evening dress
even on the most formal occasions
Let the girl have a nice light frock-
one Of her summer dresses perhaps
with light shoes and stockings tC
match and white silk gloves. The boy
can wear his Sunday suit, with dane
Ing pumps and white gloves.
1t Is not good style or good sense tc
put young girls into elaborate evening
dresses. which probably can be worn
only once or twice before they are out
grown. A girl should never wear
really low necked dress at all till she
puts up her hair and comes out" in
her first ball gown.

Seating Guests.

The seating of guests Of honor at a
dinner Of ceremony is often a perplex,
ing problem to host and hostess. 1t
will simplify matters considerably to
remember that the host with the lady
guest of honor goes into the dining
room first.
The lady sits at the right Of the host
and others follow, each lady being seat
cd at the right Of the gentleman whom
she accompanies. The hostess comes in
who sits at her left. BY this procedure
a lady Is at the right Of each gentle
man. no matter how many guests there
are at the table.

Dance Invitations.

As for the etiquette which governs
invitations to dances. let 1t be said
that If the affair is to be a formal one
the invitations are issued from two
to three weeks in advance. If the
party is an informal one then a short
note may be written by the hostess
herself to each guest a week or so be-
fore the affair is to take place. or II
she prefers she may extend the invita-
ton over the phone. which Is consid
cred quite proper for informal parties.

Tango Garbing.

VEN during Lent maids and
matrOns have continued their
gyrations, relieving their con
sciences of responsibility by
claiming that they danced for their
health's sake. Certainly the modern
woman does require some sort of siren
uous exercise to keep her figure to the
slimness required by the fashionable
gown. While milady does not attend
entertainments, she patrOnizes the
smart dancing class, which is, of
course, a different matter. To this she
may wear her pr%ettiest frock and frol-
ic to her hearts content and put the
responsibility On the soul of the dane
ing master or mistress. Thus in her
semi-retirement she may extend her
knowledge Of tango steps and perfect
her agility in the maze of the dance
that will be publicly in full swing as
soon as Easter has passed.
In her Lenten leisure the society wO-
man is also adding to her stock Of

most novel creations. Half a dozen
dancing frocks for the season are by
no means too many for the wardrobe
of the woman who is devoted to tango.
There are two sorts of frocks dan
sante-afternoon models and models
intended for evening wear. Sometimes
the only difference between the two
seems to be in the length of sleeve and
in the footwear and headgear worn
with the costume. for a hat usually
accompanies the afternoon dancing
frock. whereas in the evening the hair
is ornamented with some sort Of CO.
quettish couture ornament.
In the afternoon also smart little but
toned boots that may make brief ap-
pearance in the street accompany the
dainty frock. and in the evening slip
pers are the proper footwear for the
ballroom.
Dancing boots for afternoon wear
with frocks dansante are the prettiest
things imaginable. High. curved heels.

Remedy For Sticking Tires.

Rust in the rim of Il wheel makes It
difficult to remove the tire. When tires
are removed scrape the rim or rub It
with emery or sandparer. Then ap-
ply ordinary stove polish or graphite
both to the rim and to the head Of the
tire. If this be properly done the tire
will not stick the next time 1t 10 re-
moved.

Fish Frozen by New Method.

A novel way to freeze fish for ship
ment has been invented in Denmark.
which consists Of dipping the fish In
fresh water and then thrusting it into
a vessel containing, refrigerated brine.
The fresh water film around the fish
congeals instantly. preventing the &C.
cess Of the salt from the brine. So
quickly does this method work that a
live Goldfish eighteen inches long was
frozen hard enough to be sawed in ff.
teen minutes.

new variety Of Egyptian cotton. which
has been named pangalo. having been
produced by careful selection on Mr..
Pangalo's estate at Nit Ghamr. Mr.
Arnold adds that this new cotton
which is brown and of a most silky
texture. has a staple which is proba'
bly, stronger than any Of the other va

most characteristic features Of the

it is covered with hollis. over 100 havins
