CURTAINS HELD.

For those who like to sleep with their bedroom windows raised high at night, summer and winter, rain or shine, the problem of keeping the curtains in a presentable condition is trying one, writes contributor, I have solved the problem quite satisfactorily by putting small hooks in the outer edge of the side lintels above the middle sash. Before re- tiring l loop each curtain up over it's hook by the cord. This admits a free current of air and the damp ness nowise harms the draperies. l also adopt the same plan with the curtain when sweeping a room.

 T am sorry, but you can't go,' said Mrs. Bridges. Running errands is not play, you know" Jack came in with a button to be sewed on. Betty put on her little thimble and began sewing it on. But her mother came in before she had finished
 Why, the idea of your sewing, child!" she said, taking the needle and thread from her. Run along to your play"

GLOVES THAT STAIN WHERE
 THEY TOUCH.

Frequently a new pair of black kid gloves will crack or stain the hands, handkerchief or other ar ticles touched by them. That trou- ble-by no means characteristic only of inexpensive gloves-may be greatly mitigated by taking piece of flannel, and. after putting on the gloves, briskly wiping them with the flannel
 Use the cloth in a downward mo tion, in long. even strokes. If the dye then rubs off, take fresh piece of flannel and repeat the process
 In the majority of instances, this treatment is known to have been satisfactory, the gloves. being subse, quently worn without repetition of the cracking.
 It is said to be the oil in the newly dyed gloves that is respon- sible for their rubbing-off propens- ity. The oil is essential, for without a proper amount of it the kid would crack and be useless.

Love is the wine that makes the world go round. marriage the "wate. wagon" on which We swear never again."
 The difference between courtshlp and matrimony is just four dollars and ninety cents, or the difference between the price of d taxi and the price of street car-on theatre nights.
 The girl Wko feeds man with chafing dish mixtures may keep him calling, but the girl who feeds his imagination with mixture of sweetness and indifference will keep him chasing.
 The three greatest dangers of a mans life arise from his tendency to mistake curiosity for love" per fume for personality" and stupidity for sweet disposition"
 No matter how intense a feminist" girl may be she simply can't help batting her back hair and moistening her lips when a man enters the room
 They are going to make some new laws in Los Angeles ito prevent girls from flirting" Just like wo- man, to go around flirting all by herself,
 Somehow, just at the psychological moment, when man fancies he is going to die for love- another girl always comes along and interrupts him
 A woman is never passee until the fatal day when she ceases to regard mans glance of appraisal as i'm pertinence and begins to regard i; as flattery.

 FASHIONS OF 1e65-1975
 Go through the shops where the 1915 models of frocks and coats and hats are being displayed. Note the wide. short skirts, the long-sleeved high-collared coats, the small, flat hats, many of them with ribbon streamerS behind. And then go to the public library. Look through the tall bound volumes of the ladies ma gazines of 1865 and 1875. See how the full. short skirts of the earlier periods, when the hoop was subsid ing and the hustle arriving, suggest the very latest models See how the sleeves and collars and coats of the middle seventies are the di rect ancestors of those We are told We must wear today.
 The narrow skirt, which gave so much annoyance to the moralist and so much comfort to the wearer is definitely and enthusiastically gone Once more women must struggle along with cloth "gobs'-the most expressive if not the most elegant word-folding and fluttering about them from the waist down. getting in the way of every step they take and of every wind that blows. Some times the fitness is produced by heavy gathers at tEe waist line Sometimes one skirt is worn over an other. Oftenest, the fashionable shops and streets show us the petal or bell skirt, in which as many as six deep, voluminous flounces are arranged over each other, tier fash IOIr dIit ale tNtu uISitIlueu DS wire to increase the balloon effect.

Worth has a delightful caprice for making three skirts in one. The lower skirt of only thIee breadths, clings to the figure, and the others are sewed in form to that. The second skirt very long and edged with fringe, is draped by others down the middle of the front, producing the effects Of two loose. lengthwise putfs; is caught up high on the sides, and descends behind in sort of jabot. formed by a wide flounce of silk arranged in gathered shells, on which an applique lace flounce is also laid. The third and upper skirt is merely a very long and much wrinkled apron tied behind"

Spots on the Sun.

Strictly speaking, spots on the sun
are not spots, because they are shift
ing In form and Of changing duration
In particular localities. Scientists do
not account for them definitely, but
they are supposed to be floating masses
Of gaseous matter. enough lighter than
the main body Of the sun to form OBJ
securing shadows on its surface. OF
whatever material they are composed
they belong to the sun. They are new
err entirely stationary or quiescent, but
form and reform continually. 1.-THE
length Of their life," says a scientist
rs difficult to assign, because there Is
some tendency for new group to arise
where an old one has disappeared, but
one Is recorded which appeared on the
same place for eighteen months. The
average is perhaps two months. They
play some part in the magnetic action
Of the sun, but 1t is not known what.

A Caustic LAWYER,

At Bodmin assizes once a barriste,
while pleading was interrupted by the
judge:
"Mr. Carter, yoa are wasting the
time Of the court"
Thine Of the COURT" retorted the
truculent veteran, glaring fiercely al
the bench. your lordship means-you,
lordship's dinner!'
The judge threw up his hands In
despair, and Carter continued his ha
rangue in peace.
The same redoubtable advocate was
on another occasion defending a mar
charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses.
False pretenses! said he, with fine
scorn. "Why, we all make them ev
cry day, barristers and solicitors and
judges-the whole lot Of us! Tall
about the purity Of the judicial er
mine" Here he pointed derisively to
the learned judge. who sat covering
on the bench. why. it's only rabbit

reverent statement, which investiga
ton would probably show to be literal
ly true.-London Tit-Bits.

A Hint to Golfers.

If there is one part of the game more
than another that is likely to try the
golfers patience to the utmost it Is
putting. When we consider that half
Of the game Of golf is on the putting
green is not this good reason why
we should be proficient at 1t? But how
are we to overcome this weakness on
the greens?
The only real sound theory that is
known for putting is to swing your
putter on dead straight line through
the ball toward the hole You can
practice this method by putting the end
Of the putter head close up to wall
and practice swinging your putter back
and forth. A pendulum movement is
best, keeping the end Of the putter
close to the wall. Try 1t and see IL 1t
does not help your holing out.-Outing.
