 When the metal tip comes off from shoestrings wind the end with thread firmly and closely, then sew repeated ly This makes the tip firm.
 When the pans and slxillets are very greasy wipe them out with newspaper before trying to wash them. This makes the washing very much easier. Dough should be allowed to remain long after it has come up else the bread which results is liable to be sour.
 A towel put in the bottom of the pan in which you wash cut glass eliminates some of the danger of breakage. A little ammonia or bak- ing soda added to the water gives it mstre.
 If the soles of walking shoes are dipped into melted wax once in three or four weeks they will last twice as long and be waterproof. A small sum will provide enough wax for a dozen diDniugs

FAMOUS MEN.
DANIEL FRANCOIS AUBER.

Auber was. in many respects, the most remarkable of all the French composers of opera, in the number of years in which he was engaged in his art, and the work that he accomplished after he thad passed his three score and ten years.
 Auber enjoyed a long life of nearly ninety years. He was born in Norman dy in January, 17S2, and he died in Paris on May 1S, 1873 For more than three-quarters of century he was a prominent figure in the musical life of France, bNcause he began composing at an extremely early age. and at the age of eleven he had published a ndmber of ballards, and ''romances," one of which "Bonjeur," was very popular at the time.
 While Auber's parents had designed a commercial career for him, and while the compelled him to follow it for a brief period, they soon saw their error and allowed him to take up music IS a profession. His first attempt at an opera composer was in 1871. when he wrote the opera Julia" and from this on hardly a year passed without his adding to French musical literature.
 Auber's best known operas are Fra Diavolo," and iMassaniolle." The latter

WHOLESOME DISH.

Finely chop well seasoned cooked spinach. Set aside in the warming oven. Pan broil thin slices of bacon and keep warm. Drain the fat from the pan, leaving about two tablespoons of fat in the pan. Cool the fat slight ly, set muffin rings in the pan and slip a fresh egg into each ring; then pour hot water carefully around the eggs, cover and cook over a rather quick fire until eggs are delicately poached. Arrange spinach on a hot platter and dispose eggs above the spinach. Gar nish with the broiled bacon. Sprinkle eggs with paprika. Serve at luncheon.

PRACTICAL THRIFT.

 such size that there will be enough to satisfy the appetite of the family and no unnecessary table and plate waste.
 Many inexpensive materials can be made attractive and the diet can be varied by different favorings.

DO YOU CURL YOUR HAIR /?

Many people declare that curling the hair with hot tongs is most in jurious Hairdressers manipulate the hot irons very quickly, the hair being released before any harm is done. Amateur hair waves are slow, and fre- Quently hold the strands too long in order to get better curl or deeper wave. But providing the tongs are not too warm-try them on a piece of white tissue paper; if any discoloration shows, they are too hot-there is no reason why the curling or waving should be injurious.
 Use the irons quickly and firmly. 4 girl hairdresser told me that to be a success at her profession the wrists had to be very strong.

LAUNDRY HINTS.

Always have some waxed paper handy on ironing day and run your iron over it.
 Boil your mops in an old pail half full of water into which you have put a tablespoonful of concentrated lye. Then rinse carefully and the mop will be as good as new.
 Wool blankets will retain their shape better if they are not wrung after washing. Simply hang them up and let them drip dry. Occasion ally beat them lightly with a carpet beater while they are drying = this makes them fluffy.
 In laundering wool materials it is important to keep the temperature of the washing water, the rinsing water and of the drying room the same.
 Grass stains can be removd by wetting them with clear cold water and then rubbing them between the hands. No soap should be used.

not pay There are those who are just as insistent in the other direction, and when Germany resorts to bluff it must realize that it cannot be prolonged in definitely, especially if it isn't making any progress.
 When the commission refuses to accept Germany's plea and takes the position that it must toe the mark with the mon ey in keeping with the requirements, it shows what eredence it places in the cry of being unable to pay, and it must awaken a realization of the fact that if it doesn't hand over the money or the goods and makes no effort to get the money that there is a penalty which can and will be imposed even though that step is something which the allies would pre- fer not to be obliged to take.

DRAFTED TURBAINIs

In the turbans, models with high front brims appear. and comment is made that soft draping will be a fea- ture. Contrast in brim and crown is also considered feature. Models of large brims show a small crown, while those of small brims follow the lines of the head in a large bell crown Width from side to side will continue to be emphasized, with the narrow back brin featured. The mushroom type retains it's prestige, the Conti- mental shape is prominent The front point is usually quite exaggerated and the two side points less definite and tending toward a side width effect. One of the new turbans favoring the rather large shape has brim in three sections, which gives a side to side width, with the other point appearing at one side back, which effects an
 irregular line quite unusual.

 Quite the newest and smartest tie for the college or high school girl to wear with her tailored blouse is a mans four-i hand.
 A few frocks of checked silk ging- ham are combined with silk or or gandie trimming and sashes. Many sashes are ping worn, some of broeaded ribbon and others of plain ribbon or silk finished with tassels.
 The next color to score is yellow, the brighter the better. A great deal of yellow and white is seen and some l times yellow, black and green. After white and yellow. perwinkle blue and violet are the colors often

 Selvedge trims used as inlays and bindings appear on the longer line I tailormade type of suit. Embossed leather bands have made their appearance to add variety to the plain leather bands serving to de- fine pocket shapes. The vogue for self -fringed tweeds is steadily gaining in favor, not only for the hems of skirts, edges of poe lgets, collars, etc. but for all .round purposes on capes.
 Flaked and confetti tweeds, tweeds
 of shadow plaid and novelty weave are in demand as well as the solid
 colors, but the latter still reign, es- i pecially in pastel colors. Not all tweeds are severe in style. One youthful model shown in New York has satin ribbon tie drawn through buttonholes in lieu of links by way of fastening. Wool embroideries are adopting the
 weave of the tweed they are put on, 1 and shadow effects are more to the fore among the latest models rather
 than conventional patterns solidly ] worked

DECORATIVE MIRRORS.

You cannot overestimate the possi- bilities of mirrors in house decoration. They create an impression of spaci- ousness and they make dark inter for lighter, as well as reflect choice and unexpected bits of color.
 If sufficient mirrors are used they make the smallest room seem larger; in fact, if they are so arranged that the whole room is reflected the room may even seem large, and half the battle is won.
 And when windows reflect in op- posite mirrors the light is given back again and windows. as mediums of light are multiplied in the room.

SHOULDER STRAPS.

Women who wear the chemise fro ek often find the shoulder straps nf the chenise appearing above the neck line of the frock. A clever way to prevent this is to sew a marrow piece of ribbon to the frock at the shoulder of the frock. pass it under the shoulder strap of the chenise and then hook it back to the should CT of the dress. Thus the straps are firmly held out of sight.

TO SET coLoRs,

All colors can not be set by the same method. Salt. for instance, is extremely effective in setting blues, pinks and some reds. A large table spoonful is required to a gallon of lukewarm water Black cotton or black and white checks need strong CT salt water to be effective, and sometimes little turpentine may be added to the water. Soak the ma terials in lukewarm water. Soak browns, deep yellows and tans in a solution of one cupful of vinegar to gallon of lukewarm water to set the color, says the Designer. When the lighter shades or yellows and tans become faded, the color can be re- stored by adding strong coffee to warm rinsing water.

Painted bedroom furniture is far more attractive than cheap grades of oak or stained wood.
 Old bureaus, bedsteads, tables and chairs, even though different in design, can be made to look as though they belonged together if carefully painted white, ivory or a pretty shade of gray or tan. The old finish should be re- moved and the wood sandpapered smooth before paint is applied.

Try stitching your new curtains with some heavy mercerized for the upper thread and use finer white for the under. Some pretty color that har- monizes with the color scheme of the room will add a dainty new touch.
 The good parts of old net curtains, with a little linen, furnish abundant material for many beautiful new pieces.
