The Dumb Waiter.

The value of the old fashioned labor
saving device, the dumb waiter, cannot
be exaggerated. Instead Of carrying
up the many, many things that daily
have to come from the cellar they are
placed on the dumb waiter. No energy
is wasted, AID one trip will save three.
1t serves the place also of the more
modern linen chute. The linen chute
is not to be tabooed. for it has its uses,
but it is practically wasting space to
have both it and the dumb waiter. In
many houses the dumb waiter stops
short at the second tloor-the reason
why has never been discovered-or
sometimes it starts at the first floor
instead of in the cellar. another eng
ma. This is as impractical as it would
be to have the sidewalk end before 1t
reaches the house. 1t simply doesn't
answer the purpose for which it was

HOW TO LAUNDER NECKWEAR

The majority of women who indulge
in the ubiquitous neck decorations Of
the moment find it necessary to launder
the dainty tinery themselves in order
to have it done as it should be.
1t should in any case, however, be
done separately from the regular wash.
White crepe de chine sets should be
washed in cold water and a good white
soap, rinsed in cold water and ironed
while wet between the folds of a Turk
ish towel.
Some women clear starch white
neckwear, but others find Il substitute
in powdered borax, allowing two tea
s%poonfuls to a quart Of water, which is
said to leave the material more sheet
than does starch.
Heavy lace, which will pull out OF
shape if regularly washed, can be
cleaned by scrubbing it with a new but
not too stiff nailbrush wet with soap
and water, laying the lace on some
thing fiat like a plate or stone of the
washbowl during the process. When
finished iron it over folds Of Turkish
toweling or flannel to bring the
patterns Of the lace.

Frills and Fancies In Woman S Sphere
THE "sC0RCH" UNDER BAN 6

Many housekeepers ask how to clean
q scorched pan Or how to keep food
from having a burned taste once the
pan is scorched. Searching food is alb
solute and downright carelessness.
That too many women are careless Is
shown by the amount of washing soda
used.
Washing soda is a strong alkall,
which eats the grease and scorch.
but which also eats the metals OF
which the pots are made. When Il wo-
nan carelessly throws Il handful OF
soda" into a pot and lets it soak she
is soaking the scorch and the metal
too. That is the reason so many pans
chip or "wear out" SO easily. Washing
soda should be used only to clean the
sink and waste pipes. How thinking
women will use this strong caustic iii
their pots, especially enamel ones, and
then expect their pots to wear Is u
mystery.
There should be no scorched pots.
The newer fuels and methods are
changing things for the better. The
steam cooker and fireless cooker and
aluminium are putting the "scorch" out
of the home.

Toilet Hint.

Eau de cologne is splendid in RENE
dying a defect from which many suf-
fer-a too shiny, greasy skin. IT your
face gets shiny you can never look
your best, and, however much you pow
der it, the shininess will reappear.
But if you wash your face in the
mornings in cold water to which a tea
spoonful of eau de cologne has been
added you will find this tendency to
shininess disappear. With some peo-
pie the regular use Of oatmeal for sof-
tening the water effects a cure. but
the eau de cologne recipe is not such a
bother, for you require to sew the oat-
meal up in tiny muslin bags and allow
It to soak in the water some little time
before you use 1t.

HATS OF SUIT MATERIAL.

The we'll dressed Parisienne is wear
ing now Il small, smart hat made OK
straw and cloth in combination, the
cloth being q bit Of the same fabric
used for stunning tailored suit. One
of these hats just brought over from
Madeline, the originator Of the idea, Is
of bronze milan straw with a crown IN
blocked effect made of tan covert cloth.
The underbrim is Of the straw, and
bands of straw are stitched over he
cloth to form the upper side of the
brim. Around the high crown are three
bands Of grosgrain ribbon, one cream
white, the next tan color, the next
brown.
The ribbons pass through a pearl
buckle at the front of the hat and are
tied in a fiat, smart bow at he back.
These little tailored hats-elongated In
shape and with very narrow brims
that drop over the hair or turn up in
turban, s%tyle-are an important style
note and are the rage in Paris just
now.

In and Out of the Children's Playroom
EVER PLAY "AClD DRoPs?"
It Creates a Whole Lot Of Merriment
at a Party.

Let the company sit in two rows,
facing each other, the ladies in one
row and the gentlemen opposite them.
Two leaders must be nominated, OF
whom one, a lady. walks along behind
the row of gentlemen, and whispers
to each a serious question, which they
must in turn address later to their
vis-a-yis.
The gentleman leader walks behind
the row of ladies and to each whispers
something of a perfectly absurd, or
very biting character. which each must
repeat in answer to the question ask
ed Of her by her opposite. Neither
leader must know anything of the
questions or answers proposed.
The gentleman at the head of his
row, then, at a given signal, asks with
due gravity Of the lady opposite to
him the question that was given to
him. She will reply, with equal gray
ity. in the exact words Of the answer
that has been given her. Question and
answer must be repeated thrice with
out the shadow Of Il smile.
The next couple then take up the
| task, and so on until every couple has
| gone through the ordeal. Failure in
any respect whatever puts the person
out of the game.
This game is so popular that an en-
core is sometimes demanded. In that
case the ladies will ask the questions
given by the gentleman leader and the
gentlemen give the answers prompted
by the lady leader.

ODDITIES IN NAMES.
The Old English Puritans INDUCED In
Some Curious Freaks.

S'' ~
Referring to an article on the un-
usual Christian name rs an aid to
fame, a correspondent kindly submits
some specimen names for perpleXed
parents.
In 1878 a London journal announced
the marriage Of a lady whose first
name was-take a deep breath-Tetu-
anuireiaiteruiatea. but it omitted to
mention what she was called in the
bosom of the family. Among the Dub
lin marriage licenses. too. the name
Acknowledgment occurs. And as lately
as 1898 a Dorinda Cassandra appeared
in the London Times. With such names
one could hardly fail to get into the
papers.
Odd combinations of names resulted
from the system Of nomenclature fol-
lowed by the Puritans. James Bronze

~ by a sound on the floor be-
low. Starting up in bed, she
exclaimed sharply:
"What's that?"
Her husband having been awakened
listened for q few moments, then asked
impatiently:
well, what is it,"
~"Burglars."
",NonSensei"
I'm certain of it."
There was another sound, which was
this time heard by Mr.. lngersoIl. He
got out of bed and, putting on his trou-
scrs, opened the door, went out into the
hall and turned on an electric light, IL
Illuminating the figure Of a man. The
fellow put his finger to his lips, at the
same time throwing open his coat and
displaying a policeman's badge. Step
ping up to Ingersoll, he whispered:
"Turn out that light quick"
Ingersoll turned the button. He did
not need any explanation, for it was
| plain that there was something wrong
on the premises and u cop was at work
with a view to righting it. Neverthe-
less he asked in a whisper:
''What's the matter:'
I'VE got wind today that Handy
Andy. this crook who is going about
getting into houses and leaving polite
notes after taking the %valuables, was
intending to do you tonight and we've
laid a trap for him."
You'd better look out. I've read a
lot in the papers about that fellow.
He's mighty slippery; he may get you

Never fear for that. I've got the
house surrounded"
II don't hear anything below" said
the owner of the premises after listen

True enough; he's laying dow. It's
too bad YOU turned on that light. He
may have been frightened. But 1t
makes no great difference, for as soon
as he leaves the house he will step into
the arms of one of my men. l would

A Hint For Boy Scouts.

Practically everywhere in the United
States can be found scenes and land
marks Of interest and Importance in
the Indian lore Of the region. This
opens to every boy scout troop Il wide
field of valuable study and experience,
With a little effort it should be pos
sible for a group Of scouts to gather
the whole Indian history of its terri
tory. There are numerous sources.
Maybe the public or some private H.
brary contains a county history or Il
history of the state which gives the
more important general facts. Then
| from old inhabitants the local story
| can be pieced together.
4 scout troop will find a lot of fun
| and excitement on hiking or camping
expeditions by %re-enacting the Indian
stories Of the country.-Chicago Trlb-
| une.

Domestic Hints.

Never use linen to clean mirrors or
windows, as it sheds lint and often
causes streaks.
Wash linoleum and OilclOth with
mkewarm water, then polish it with a
soft wooden cloth which has been dip
ped in milk.
Use no soap on window glass. Use
old muslin and clean, soft water. A
cotton cloth dipped in a little alcohol
will add brilliancy to the final rub.
If white Of egg is applied with Il
small camelshair paint brush to fly
specks on gilt frames, then rubbed
gently with a soft cloth the spccks
will disappear.

There was a tread as Of a mar leav'
