trlct. but on Hammond man said he could smell the feet of the people who work at the Standard every time the wind comes from that direction, so there is probably no escape except in

looking for your favorite smell and

thanking the weather man when he

urns the wind on from that direction.

WOMEN AND HOME-

To remove paint from window glass rub a little vineg-ar on the spots. Art ticking, braided in fancy designs, is much used for bureau covers. Scarfs of black tulle draped around the shoulders are exceedingly smart for evening wear. Cut glass should be washed in strong soap suds and then polished with sawdust and chamois leather. All-over soutached net yokes and gulmpes are considered an exceedingly smart finish to the one-piece dress. The newest madras curtains no longer show the deep border at the bottom of the curtains, but use it as a frieze. A new idea in trimming linen suits

ts to b raid them with hempen strings, the same kind that is used for tying up parcels. The craze for embroideries of every description on all kinds of gowns still continues, with a preference for glittering embroideries. "When lamps are clogged with oil, the burners should be boiled in a strong solution of soda and allowed to get thoroughly dry before being used again. It is poor economy to use old and frayed rags for cleaning, and the lint carried off into the pipes makes trouble for the plumbers and an unnecessary bill for the householder. To preserve blankets that are badly worn, patch all holes too large to be darned: then cover with cheese-cloth and tack with colored yarn or worsted. Buttonhole with the yarn across the ends. When stitching with a machine on muslin, gauze or other thin material, lay it over thin paper. This will prer &vent puckering, and after the work is done the paper may easily he torn away, leaving the work smooth. A point to be given the new waitress is that china plates, cups and saucers should not be piled one upon another

while they are hot. They must be cool before they are packed, otherwise the glaze will craefc easily. Shoes that have become stiff and uncomfortable by having been worn in the rain, or that have been lying unused for some time, may be made soft and pliable by vaseline well rubbed Jn with a cloth and rubbed off with a dry cloth. To clean tarnished silver, it should be well washed inna strong solution of soda in hot water, then re-dipped into fresh boiling water, dried, afterward cleaned in the ordinary way with whitening, mixed into a paste with methylated spirits or ammonia. At last some one has discovered how to make down pillows which will not shed their feathers. Was the inner covering, and the down will not be able to work, through the two covers. To do this, iron the wrong side of the ticking with a hot flatiron. liberally rubbed with bee's wax. Ivory knife handles may be whitened and kept white if they are occasionally soaked in alum water. The alum water must boil first and be then allowed to cool. After the knives have remained in the water an hour, remove them and brush with a nail brush and

then allow them to dry slowly In a wet linen towel.

FADS AND FASHIONS.

- I

New York, April 16. The high-class costumes of a season contain the fashIon idea of that season, and, to the acute observer, indications of the changes that are likely to occur in the succeeding season. To say today that any one style predominated, would be to belle the truth. The French authorities have culled their ideas from a number of widely separated style periods, and have so cleverly mingled them that the result may be considered the quintessence of twentieth century styles. Modern customs require dressing that is essentially different from the styles of by-gone centuries, and when all is said and done modern taste in dress

ing is by far the most artistic the world has ever known. No longer will American women as a class accept freakish and outlandish styles, by no matter how high an authority they are launched. Styles must be modified to the more refined taste to meet with any general acceptance. This was well proved only last fall with the entrance of the sheath skirt, which had to be decidedly changed before it was accepted by American women. There is a dearth of 1830 styles among the latest French models, despite its having been so loudly hearlded from the other side. Byzantine and Egyptian ideas are mostly confined to the beauty and glitter of the new trimmings that are used to ornament corsage, and of these there is an abund- . ance. ,Directolre and .Empire effects are decidedly modified, for the new, waistline is much more near the normal than it has been in some seasons. The one-piece gown, the princess style, continues to be what Is most often sean. Mediaeval styles are shown in costumes only, and they must be still more modified if they are to find any general acceptance In this country. For the woman who wants something different, this mediaeval costume will undoubtedly be the choice. This is a tight-fitting garment from above the bust to below the hips. The fitted portion is rather short in the back, and curves gradually down in front, where it is sometimes of rounded outline, while in other models it ends In a deep point. The full skirt Is attached to this fitted bodice. In other models the fitted effeot is produoed by a rather plain drapery. The great value of this mediaevel costume to the average woman will be that it points the way to a gradual lengthening of the waistline, of which we shall, undoubtedly, see tetter and greater expression in the coming autumn. The plain tailored shirtwaist, whether of linen or some of the plain white cotton materials is first choice for the coming season. The vogue of the Gibson plait at the shoulders is quite evident, but other waists will have the simple tucks, either in groups or equidistant, both in front and back. When these tucks are made in groups the plain space between the tucking is filled with hand work, the solid embroidery In satin stitch being a favorite. The same idea is carried out on the collar if it is made attached to the waist.

Ilany a Hammond Citizen Knows How Sure They Are. Nothing uncertain about the work et Dean's Kidney Pills in Hammond. There Is plenty of positive proof of this In the testimony of clrfiens. Such evidenoe should convince the most kejtical sufferer.

D GETS ODORS FROM

EVERY POINT OF THE COMPASS

Whoof! Smell that oil, the wind istrom the north. Wheel . Smell that distillery, the wind is from the east. Ohl femell that rendering plant, the wind Is from the south. Phew! Smell that fertilizer factory, the wind is from the West. And so there we are, all walled In by smells. No matter which way the people of Hammond turn their noses they are sure to run them into some different kind of a smell. 'The town is indeed fortunate in at least being given a variety of smells. Over in the stock yards district in Chicago they have but one kind of a smell, and they have that all of the time. It is the everlasting smell of putrlfylng animal and vegetable matter. Hammond Is more fortunate. The people here don't have to smell the same thing all the time. When the wind is from the east, delightful (?) Odor, like that which emanates from the corn popper, is wafted to the nostrils of the people of Hammond. Helps Vegetation. When they are tired of that, for people can tire of even delightful things, the weather man is usually accommodating enough to shift the wind around, say a little east of south, where Phil McLaughlin's mountains of manure provide the variety which is the spice of life. Twist the wind around to a little west of south and the odoriferous

breaths are so laden with carbonic acidthat they do say the vegetation for ! miles around lives on what it absorbs! from the air, rather than what it gets ! out of the ground. I It Is probably unnecessary to remark ! in passing that the southwest smell, I with which the city is frequently af-j flicted, comes from the National Rend- ; erlng company's plant at Globe Station, j It is in this plant that many a worn- j out plug of a horse comes to its un- j timely end. j Let the wind veer around to the west. and, "oh, my. what an odor!" The Hirsch-Stein fertilizer and glue works ' is responsible for the odor from this defection. At times a whiff of a westerly breeze is enough to make a man choke for a breath of pure air. One would think that Messrs. Stein and Hirsch were on the tops of their build- ; ings throwing finely ground fertilizer on the air just to inconvenience the i people of Hammond. (ilne AVorku Helps. The weather man only needs to turn I the wind around another notch to give; the people of this little city of ours a smell of the- Hammond glue works. While tli is smell is more delicate than the others, it is certainly percepithle and adds to the great variety of whiffs that may be sampled in Hammond. j From the north comes the refreshing smell of lake water, in which the Western Glucose people have been kind enough to put a dash of something that makes it as olorous as drinking water could possibly be. The smell of

smells comes when the wind shifts to the northeast. In the summer time the "Whiting smell," as many people in Hammond have come to call it, means a change in the weather and usually a storm. Of oil smells the one from the Standard Oil works is the worst. The people of Whiting are optimistic about it. Odors Help the Sick. They say it is good to breathe the odor of oil. It prevents pulmonarytuberculosis. Those who are not compelled to look on the bright side of the plague of the Whiting smell say that If they are going to be compelled to Inhale a lubricant they don't want it to be axle grease. If there is a loophole through which the city could get a breeze which does not carry some smell, it is probably south southeast, from the Standard dis-
