The Bridal Trousseau.

The old idea OF providing brides
with score or more of gowns. wraps
and hats has quite gone by. Even the
fashionable trousseau OF today con-
tains no more than a dozen gowns, II
as many. Styles change so fast that
by fall the gowns for the June we'd
ding, necessarily made some weeks be-
fore the ceremony. begin to look odd.
Some authority has declared that the
best dressed woman In Paris buys no
more than three new toilets each year,
but the opinion may be ventured that
she is altering her last years supply
most OF the time. The vast assort-
ments of lingerie have also dwindled.
Nobody provides such a multitudinous
wedding outfit nowadays as used to be
required.-Leslie's.

Inventor of the Airbrake.

Who really invented the airbrake?
Certainly the automatic airbrake, the
one that has proved practicable and of
permanent value in modern railroad
Ing, was the product of the late George
Westinghouse's ingenuity. His patent
for the automatic brake was taken out
In 1872, superseding the non-automatic
or straight" Westinghouse airbrake
patented in 1869, and later the West
inghouse vacuum brake was invented.
But, as In the case of most other In.
ventions, there are several claimants
for originality in this field. Thus,
Nine. NJ. Drouane, daugheer of M.
Debruges Of Paris, claims the distinc-
ton of priority for her father. The
New York Times has a letter from
State Senator William p. Fiero Of
White Plains containing patent office
declaration by his grandfather, Henry
Miller, of new and useful improve
ment in the application Of steam and
compressed air to the purpose of op-
Grating railroad brakes" recorded Jan
uary 2, 1855. Mr. Miller was doubt
less pioneer in the progress of air

To Peel a Tomato.

The tomato season is with us, and
many a housekeeper would be glad to
know how to slip the skin off without
the use of boiling water. Press the
back or blunt part OF knife against the
tomato. keep pressing around from
center to core, two or three times.
without breaking the skin. then strip
off, with the same result as using hot
water. This is easy to do and is espe-
cially nice in summer, when you prefer
tomatoes cold for salad.

SAVING ON LAUNDRY BILLS
Frequent Pressing VIII Do Much To
ward Preserving Appearance OF
the Thin Garments.

The woman whose ambition II is TO
always look well dressed will pay spe-
cial attention to the pressing OF her
garments. A linen shirt waist or suit
should be pressed after each wearing.
All thin waists and dresses can be
worn twice as long before being laun-
dered II they are pressed often. They
are usually more mussed than soiled
when put in the wash. Garments which
must be pressed on the wrong side,
but which need a touch on the right
side, may be pressed very nicely pro
vided a piece of smooth tissue paper Is
used to protect the goods from the hot
iron. When ironing silks and ribbons
the use of tissue paper VIII prevent
them from becoming shiny.
A white frock or blouse that is soiled
in places, but not enough to require
laundering. may be much improved
by the following method: Dissolve
some gloss starch in warm water,
moisten the soiled portions with this
mixture and press carefully. The gar
ment will look almost as good as new
and may be worn several times with
out laundering.
Lingerie waists will not get mussed
nearly as soon and are much easier to
iron when subjected to the following
method: Wash as usual, but do not
starch. When dry. dip in borax water
using one tablespoonful OF borax to
one quart OF warm water. Wiring out
and fold in a towel for a few hours
then iron dry.
