Hints For Railroad Trip

K I + THE mother who undertakes rail- road trip Of any great length with two or three hot and restless little children will find the experience a memorable one unless she makes care- ful provision for it beforehand
 Dresses of dark ginghan or foulard with boomers to match should be pro- vided to take the place of daintier but too easily soiled garments. It is well to take along two or three mil4fners paper bags if the trip is to be made in a day coach, and then hats may be dis carded at once and yet kept fresh. Drinking cups are not provided on most trains. but they take up little room and are an absolute necessity from some source. so at least one should be carried.
 If lunch is carried paper plates should he provided. with paper napkins. Sandwiches will keep much fresher if they are wrapped in oiled paper.
 It is in the long afternoon. when even the ever changing panorama of the win dow has begun to pail a little. that real entertainment for the children must be thought out. '-Traveling mans casino' will vary the scenery interest," ingfy In this game each animal has a certain count. One child takes one side of the train and another the oth- CT. counting up each animal passed to
  time
 A box of beads, which are not difn- cult to string in spite of the jolting of the train, will insure further peace. Two or three pairs of blunt pointed scissors with the magazines that the mother has brought along to read will lend themselves to a game of house. each child selecting a room to furnish and cutting out appropriate fittings for 1t. People to live in the house may be added and named unto the third and fourth generation. It is a simple matter to. invent interesting family histories for them,
 A box of animal crackers is useful. Constant eating Of fruit and candy is apt to upset digestions that already have to withstand the motion of the train. but the cracker animals provide harmless refreshment4 and entertain ment- In spite of the ingenuity of the mold makers the identity of the ani- 1nals is always a source of pIeasurable uncertainty and discussion.
 Where the trip is to be made by wa ter instead of by rail the case is en- tireIy reversed except in bad weather. The only difficulty is in keeping the children from climbing over the rail or making undesirable acquaintances. One mother solved the first problem by tying long rope securely about her two-year-old baby. When the rope slackened she knew he was in some ones lap, but she gave up trying to find out whose.

IoBe a Perfect Hostess !:

fTsHE perfect hostess tries as far as
 possible to leave the entertainment of her guests in their own hands. nak- ing fl her duty to study the prefer ences of those she has invited under her roof She does not ask them to arise aa4 unusual hours or to drive. walk or play tennis when they prefer to do other things.
 At English country homes the cus- tom of visiting has a certain system connected with it. Guests are asked for a specified number of days and are expected to leave on the morning of the day the visit ends.
 Tn an, English home guest who arr r1ves after the luncheon hour seldom sees the hostess until the tea gather Ing or possibly not until the diners as- BeEble- A well trained maid conducts the guest to her room upon arrival in- forms the newcomer of the family din- ner hour and perhaps serves tea or some simple refreshment-

 She also finds out whether they pre- fer to have the morning meal in their rooms or on the veranda with other guests and also mentions the luncheon hour.
 The mistress of a home making many demands upon her time usually likes to have the mornings to herself. and she can do this with anN easy con- science when she knows that the en- eertafnment of her guests has been satisfactorily provided for by allowing them to walk. sew. write letters or do anything else they may wish to do.
 On the other hand. the guest who wishes to be popular has her part to play Naturally she will not irtrl1de upon her hostess privacy or upset arr raugements by being late for meals and she Win avoid all unpleasant topics and carry away no petty gossip.

EDMoNDS.

With an abundance of uneXcelled in
dustrial sites, Edmonds, located on the
shore of Puget Sound in the southern
part of Snohomish county, about six
teen miles from Everett is one Of the
promising industrial communities of
the Northwest. And its achievements
along industrial lines are of proper
tons sufficient to make a large com
munity envious
Edmonds is an important single
manufacturing center, it's nine single
mills giving a large shingle output and
providing the bulk of a substantial
and growing payroll. In addition, a
swamill, iron works, electric plant and
a box factory and veneer plant are To-
Gated here.
The town has an excellent site, the
business and industrial section being
located on a level tract close to the
Sound, while the residence section is
on a gently sloping elevation which
enhances the beauty of the outlook to
the westward over the waters of the
Sound to the Olympic mountains.
Graded and high chools employ
thirteen teachers. There are seven
churches, weekly newspaper bank,
and numerous prosperous business
houses. Fraternal and club activities
are many and varied.
Edmonds is situated on the main line
of the Great Northern railway, which
insures it the best of transportation
facilities, supplemented by Sound
steamers which run to Everett and
Seattle three times a day

STATE BANK OF EDMONDS.

A man is judged, so the old saying
runs, by the company he keeps. Why
not town or city by the business
firms it harbors? Anyone will say
that most often the progress of a city
is expressed, especially to the pro-
spective resident, by the number of
large institutions of which she may
boast The more substantial corpora
lions a city has, the more she will
draw, hence the present success of the
City of Edmonds. Edmonds may well
feel proud to own one of the most re-
liable concerns, that Of the State Bank
Of Edmonds. This firm was founded
nj its present location six years ago
and has good, strong, honorable men
at the helm" They are Lester w.
Lewis, president; W. H. Schumacher,
vice-president; H. E. LangdOn, cash
Ter, and H. V Allen, assistant cashier.
These gentlemen all hold prominent
positions in their home town, socially
as we'll as financially, and have never
failed in aiding the upward growth of
Edmonds and her citizens. They are
in business to help the people, espe-
cially the working man. Let them
help you save for the rainy days which
are bound to come. There are times
in the lives of all persons when

of saving much that is cherished and
beloved. Start one today if you

CHINESE LACQUERING.
Many Layers of Varnsh Are Applied
to Produce a Fine Finish.

Many Layers of Varnish Are Applied
to Produce a Fine Finish.
Writing from Hongkong concerning
Chinese lacquering work, Consul Cen
eral g. E. Anderson says.
In general the basis of all lacquering
is a varnish obtained from the resinouS
juice Of the Rhus vernicifera, or "uruso-
no-ki." "urushi," or "varnfsh tree" cul-
tivated in many parts of China and ia
pan for the purpose. This tree in many
respects resembles an ash 1t grows
fifteen to eighteen feet high and can
be tapped after seven years. The var
nish is obtained by making missions in

all moisture. 1t separates into clear

more resinous and darker liquid mass,
which settles to the bottom. The quail.

for ordinary paints, "Ningpo varnish'
and similar ordinary work.
In general, the wood to be lacquered
is Il soft dry pine. The surface and
corner of the article are made as
smooth as Chinese process renders it
possible The joints are filed with
oakum, paper pulp or strips of grass
cloth: the corners are rounded or
smOothed: paper is pasted over the
joints or rough places, and everything
possible is done to present as smooth a
surface as possible for the varnish.
The article is then coated with a prep
aration of emery powder. vermilion or
gamboge. which is allowed to dry, and
the whole is then polished or ground
down by pumice stone, powdered sand
stone or powdered deerhorn or various
other similar substances. The prepara-
ton is again applied and ground down.
The lacquer itself is then applied
with a broad, soft brush as evenly as
possible and in a room from which all
wind and dust and as much light as
can be dispensed with are excluded,
the idea being to apply the lacquer and
have it dry in u dark, damp place free
from all possibility Of dust.
After the varnish dries it is ground
down or polished with powdered stone
or deerhorn or similar substances, and
another application is made. dried.
ground and polished. The process is
repeated according to the nature Of the
article and the quality of the work,
three coats representing an ordinary
minimum and fifteen to eighteen coats
an ordinary maximum. For solid col
ors this alternate vanishing and pol
iShing constitutes the finish Various
decorations are applied in different
ways. In mother of pearl inlay work,
for example. the mother of pearl is cut
in the desired figures in thin shell, and
the pieces are placed in position on the
undried surface soon after the applica
ton of one of the early coats Of var

in the enamel and polished and repo-
iShed as a part of it.
