To Remove Stains.

Mildew stains are sometimes a
source of great trouble, and are diff
cult to remove unless you know just
the right way. Rub little soap over
the mildew spots, and on top Of this
a little chalk and lemon juice. II the
garment is then put out In the sun for
a couple Of hours and afterward
washed in the usual way, the spots
will disappear.
Tomato Is said to be successful In
many cases for removing ink stains
from white materials. such as hand
kerchiefs, muslin frills, etc. 1t must
however, be done as soon as possible
after the mishap has occurred. A
clean piece Of plotting paper should be
laid under the stain and slice of raw,
ripe tomato rubbed over the surface.
fresh pieces of plotting paper being
substituted until the ink spot has van
ished

MATCHED sets, in the millinery
IVA shops, mean three articles. at
least, made up Of the same materials
and corresponding in style. A neck
piece, nun and hat, or a neckpiece,
bag and hat, constitute the usual set
of three pieces. Sometimes a four
piece set includes all the accessories
mentioned, but as a rule only three
are made to correspond.
These matched sets employ fur, vel
vet, brocades, silk and fur-cloths Tor
plush) In their construction, and are
embellished with passementerie beads,
silk and millinery flowers and fruits.
Furs are combined with fabrics, or
two kinds OF fur may be made up to-
gether. Fur and velvet is a rich and
popular association of material. Satin
and fur-cloth is inxpensive and as
beautiful as the more costly furs.
Velvet alone and velvet embellished
with passementerie stands between
the costlier furs and less costly
pushes in point of price and are less
durable than either, but utterly fem
mime and elegant.
A set of two furs combined in neck
piece and nun, worn with a small
military turban, is shown in the pic
ture. A fat neckpiece OF fine Hud-
son seal supports a handsome fitch

furs. The muff is barrel shaped with

THE up-to-date kitchen apron is by

signing 1t to meet all the require

at the same time. The new pat
terms, that cover the entire figure,
look better and are far more practical
than the aprons set on to band, that
preceded them. II Is just about as
easy to make aprons that protect the
whole dress, cover the sleeves and
stay in place, as to make those gath

to do them up.
Bingham, calico and percale are

or black and white. are selected for
permanency in color. Any number of
patterns in figures and checks and
stripes give one a wide choice in
design.
Aprons made of these good substan-
tial cotton fabrics having a white
ground with black stripes are great
favorites for "cook-aprons. Shep-
herds checks and polka dots figure
among these also. For sweeping and

small white dots for figures are made

JOHN MGRAW, GIANTS SCRAPPY MANAGER.
 IS FORTY-ONE TODAY

If John McGraW did his scrapping in the ring instead of on the diamond, he would have to retire under the forty-year age limit recently adopted by the boxing commissioners of New York, for the little ..apoleon'' of baseball will celebrate his forty-frst birthday today. Truxton, N. Y., isn't a bust1ing metropolis, but 1t has had fame thrust upon it by reason of the fact that the leader of the Giants was born there on April T, 1873.
 Having just returned from triumpha1 tour of the globe, McGraw is now devoting his attention to the problem of capturing sixth National League pennant for the well known island of Manhattan. That he can turn the trick few doubt, for as mat ters stock up at present the old circuit doesn't appear to have a club that equals McGraws aggregation of dia- mond talent. Still, you never can tell, and McGraw can be depended on not to take anything for granted.
 McGraW commenced his profession al diamond career on the Clean, N. Y., club at $60 per month, when he was only sixteen. Then he went to Cedar Rapids, Ia-, and in 1892 was bought by the Baltimore club of the National League. As a member of the famous Oriole inf1eId he acquired a taste for pennants that has never left him.
 In 1902. in mid-season, he became manager of the Giants, and has held the job ever since. His first act was to fire most of the misf1ts who were then posing as Giants. He couldn't get the club out of the cellar in 1902, a1- though the team won about half of it's games after lawn took hold, but in 1903 the Giants put up a strong race for the flag, and finished second.
 In 1904 the club won the pennant, and the worlds flag, we'll as the National League bunting, was hoisted over the Polo Grounds in 1905- During the next five years Chances great Cub machine won the leadership four times and C1arke's Pirates copped one flag, but during that period McGraw's 8 team finished second three times, third once and fourth once.
 In 1911 the Giants came back to first place, and have held 1t ever since If the Giants win this year, McGraw

han what to do. The Dock tossed off his mask and glove and rushed to Perritt.
 Say, who do you think you are? A fresh kid, guess. We'll, before you go any further want to tell you that Rog Bresnahan is manager of this club and what Rog Bresnahan says goes.''
 Listen. though, Roger responded Polly, .-I think I can fool him with another fast-''
 Bresnahan cooled down a bit, con scented and returned to his post
 The fast one shot past the plate and Wagner didn't make a move. It was strike two.
 The next signal from Bresnahan. He wanted to waste one and motion ed for a pitch-out @Perritt refused. Again Roger appeared in the role of a madfnan and rushed out to Perritt- But his talk was different. Say kid, you got so much nerve I'm going to let you go through with this third fast one. If he hits it. though, just grab your glove and go back South"
 Wagner was set, also Perritt and Bresnahan. Polly found up, shot the fast one. Honus was double-crossed completely. Naturally, he expected a curve or one on the outside. He let it pass and the ump said, Strike three; batter up.''
 .I won that argument from Bres- nahan,'' said Perritt, 'sbut I believe it was the last one''
