DRIPPING CANDLES.
(From Mrs. H. w. B.. WastingtonJ
Mrs. L. M. of this city inquiries
among other querieS about drip
ping candles. I offer three solu-
tions.
First, candles put in the refriger-
ator before a party will not be
50 apt to drip. Second, dripless
candles are sold in a centrally
located department store. My
last suggestion is, in this store,
one can buy (and it's the only
place that I have ever seen them
thin glass plates to put at the base
of the candle to catch the wax.
These ! use.
WHEN THINGS GO WRONG.
From A. A.. WaShington.)
I am leaving Washington soon.
but because I have benefited so
many times from other contribu-
tions to the column, have decided
to pass along this friendly advice.
don't remember where got the
clipping-it may have come from
The Star a couple of years ago.
STICK TO THE FIGHT"
When things go wrong as they sometimes
And The road you're trudsins seems all
When funds are low. and the debts are
And YOU want to smile but you have to
When cares are pressing you down bit,
Rest If you must but don't quit: lows,
Life Is queer with Its twists ,snfn, and turns
When ne might have won if he'd stuck
Don't, sive up, though the pace seems
You may succeed with another blow.
L seems to a faint and falterins man.
Often the strrggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's
And h. learns too late when the night
Now close he was to the golden crown.
success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds OF doubt,
msS you be eenes near 's When sa 1t s seems sfs
So stick to the fight when you're hardest
IT'S 5.sn, Shsn sns' aa seem xESosyaous Es5s saes you
Best wishes for the continued
success of the column.

POMANDER BALLS.
(Fron Mrs. X. S., Alexandria,
have made little sachet balls
which I believe are called po-
manders by sticking whole cloves
into an apple. A small, round
apple, which is as nearly perfect
as possible. should be used and
the whole cloves are stuck into it
as close together as possible. It
requires about two or three pack
ages of cloves for one apple.
Usually a ribbon is tied around
the stem of the apple to dress
1t up.
