BYHAWLEY CHAPTER XVII. Maude Denison's eyes flashed, and her lips quivered. She laceJ her hands closely together; but all she said was the monosyllable "Gren." Small mercy was Mrs. Upcroft likely to meet with at his hands; her insolence had already made Hose's teeth prate. "Unfortunate. Mrs. Upcroft." he observed, with "an evil smile; lut I am afraid the butcher will have to wait for some time before he next enjoys the pleasure of your society. You see, you lane mhicfcily admitted, before myself and Miss Denison two witnesses, bear in mind that you were privy to the removal or abstraction of a deed of value, even If you did not actually remove such ieed with your own hands. The law. of which you are aware I am an expounder, calls a casualty of this kind by the name of felon? . and recompenses it with varied term o? transportation. It is unpleasant. Mm. Upcroft; tut I fear, unless you can recollect where those particular papers are, there is nothing for it. but to wait here patiently until the police escort I urn about to summon has arrived for you " The Bulky insolence wis taken well out of the unhappy housekeeper before Rose's i;eech was finished. Like most people of that class, she had but very vague ideas tl the power of the law, and an almost morbid horror of encountering it in any shape. The barrister's accusation, too. sounied ery plausible to uupracticed ears. "Oh! Mr. Grenville, after knowing me ill this time, whoevcr'd have thought you'd pro ngaiat me in this way? Oh, dear ! oh, dear ! what shall I do?" "Do what you ought to have done, at Dncf. Tell Miss Maude this instant where those papers are. None of your nonsense about not remembering. You know perfectly well what you've done with them. I'll give you two minutes to collect your ideas, and if you can't do it by the end of that time, I'll lock you in here and send for the polire." "Oh, please don't ! I don't know, rightly. I think. Miss, they were all put up in an old trunk in the garret overhead," sobbed, the now thoroughly cowed housekeeper. "Go and see, Maude," said Hose, quietly. Miss Denison tripped out of the room, leaving Grenviile to the quiet contemplation of his victim. -Ob, my ! i.h, my !" sobbed the housekeeper, "to think of those old rubbishing things being of any consequence ! And what right have you, sir, to say I took them? To thii.k of my being accused of taking things, after all these years! Hut I suppose a poor servant's character is not to be taken away for nothing? I'll have the law of you, I will." -You're right. Mrs. Upcroft ; you will, and very much to your detriment, too, if the paper I want is not forthcomnig. You're not talking to a woman now. You'll neither frighten me, nor get the slightest mercy at my hands. You're in :is fair & way of upending the next ' six or seven years at Portland as anybody I know; and, by heavens, I'll take pretty good care you get there! They have stood your insolent long enough here. If you want to take a few things with you, I'll ring, and one of the maids can put up your box. I'll run through your accounts after you are gone, and fancy I can substantiate a tolerable charge of peculation to boot." The housekeeper had rallied a litttle, but this last speech of Hose's completely crushed her. She knew that she had carried on a systematic scale of robbery for years. She flopped dowa on her knees, and implored that mercy might be shown her, backing her entreaties with many sobs and tears. "Hrre they all are, (Iren," said Maude, entering the room. "I .tumbled them into this towel; I couldn't carry them in my hands. Good gracious, Mrs. Upcroft, do get up. What is the matter?" "Stay where you are, and apologize to Miss Denison for your impertinence, before you rise," thundered Grenville. "Quick, woman, and I'll be lenient about the second charge I have against you." "Ob, please forgive me, Miss Maude! I didn't mean it indeed I didn't !" whimpered the crestfallen housekeeper. "There, that'll do," said Kose, contemptuously, while Maude stood in openeyed wonderment at the complete subju;ation of her ancient foe. "Eureka !' he shouted, as, after running his eye over some half a dozen mouldy papers, a more aunty parchment than usual came beneath his ken. "This will do. You can go, Mrs. Upcroft, without a police escort fur the present ; but you had better bear in mind, in future, that' if you are insolent to Miss Denison you will settle with me, and that next time J promise you it shall be a pettlement in full." With a low curtsy the discomforted housekeeper left the room anger raging in her breast, but mixed with a strong proportion of fear. Her malevolence would know no bounds if, the should ever see her opportunity ; but for the present Grenville Itose bid established a wholesome terrorism. "I.et her go, my darling," said Grenville. as he stole his arm round Maude's waist. "This is the deed I wanted. I must leave for town directly after breakfast. Armed with this. I think I can safety say I'earman shall trouble you no more. What guerdon is your champion to have when be has rescued you from th dragon?" "Nothing. I'm afraid." "You ingrate! What do you mean?" "What I said. I fear, Gren." replied the girl, as he lifted her smiling face to his, "that I have given my champion all I have to give already, and if that doa'.". satisfy him, I can only " Miss Denison's further views on the ubject were never promulgated, for reasons that are palpably obvious; nor will in ordinary observer be much astonished to hear that the cousins put in a disgracefully iate appearance at the breakfast table a fact that may le quoted in support of my great theory, that early rising is dependent on fictitious excitement, and net in accordance with natural laws. Rre&kfast over. Grenville had a hurried interview with the squire, the result of which was great jubilation ou Harold Dnisons part, and a remark that he had always had an immense opinion of firenville's talents, and that he thought present circumstances already justified his opinion. "Good-by, uncle," said Rose, as he stood on the steps of the . carriage that was to convey him to the station. "I think I'm riht. but you mustn't blame me if I've made a mistake. I'll telegraph a soon as I have had counsel's opinion on my friend here;" and he tapped his traveling bag, in which reposed the anxiously sought for deed. "Heaven bless you, boy! I feel you're right you must be. Good-by. Drive on." "Stop stop! he can't go like that;" and Maude, like a flash of sunlight, dashed through the porch. The idea of anybody leaving Glinn without a flower in his buttonhole! "Gren, dear, one moBjent, while I put this in your coat. Keep It," she whispered, "to remind you of me." "Not much necessity for that," he replied, as he bent ore.- her. "Dut you shall

Wif e SMART see it, darling, next time I come. Goodby !" "Not for long; mind and write; they won't care now, will they?" "Cant help it if they do. I shall. CHAPTER XVIII. It is Monday afternoon. The usual crowd of refuse humanity clusters round the door of the great turf exchange. Expugilists, low publicans, noblemen's butlers that were traders on men's weaknesses or lust greasy, brass-chained, shovel-hatted, brazen-throated, brazenbrowed with wolfish greed of gain stamp ed more or less on their features the hungry, gold-seeking mob oscillate round that low doorway. The turfite's temple never shuts ; the fell war between backers and layers never ceases. Eager murmurs are heard midst that vultuiv-faced crowd. "He went very bad in the market this morning." "Tell me they offered threes, at the clubs." "What's wrong with him?" "What against The Saint?" and similar hurried interrogatories fall on the c-ar. Now a brougham, now a well-appointed cub. whose driver throws the reins from his lavender-kidded hands to the next tiger ; now the hansoms of ordinary life drop their respective occupants at the small doorway. The Subscription Itoom is full ; round the big circular desks much paying and receiving is going on. The sofas round the room are crowded with loungers; the tessellated pavement is trod by a fluctuating mass, who ebb and flow to different points as some one or two large speculators vociferate the odds, or cease to do so. It is the settling day, after the broken week at Newmarket, and sinister rumors are rife about the first , favdrite for the Two Thousand. He has stood at five to two for a long while, but report says that three to one has been laid and offered, to any amount of money, at the racing clubs this morning. Half-past four fatal hour for many a favorite at Tatters&H's, the adjustment of last week's accounts is over, and the ring has time to turn its attention to forthcoming events. "Three to one against Coriander for the Guineas," is vociferated in more than one quarter. Nothing positive seems known about th? horse; but a panic has set in, and backers stand aloof from a wager that yesterday they would have jumped at. Some few adventurous men take the increased odds to a little, but speedily repent as they find the disposition to hiy that price rapidly Increasing. At this juncture I'earman, attired in deep mourning, entered the Subscription Itoom. It was but a few days since his father's funeral, and, to do him justice, he would not have been there had not a friend telegraphed to him early in the day the onslaught that was being made on Coriander. Rusiness must be attended to, he argued, whether racing or otherwise, and knowing his horse to be perfectly well, he ran up at once to town lo stop this demonstration against it. Foremost among the opponents of the favorite was a big. corpulent north countryman, who enjoyed the . reputation of by no means throwing his money away. In turf parlance, when he persistently bet against a horse, "he knew something." "Here's 1,000 to 300 against Coriander!" vociferated Mr. Plyart, for the second or third time. "Put it down to me," said I'earman, quietly. "Yes, sir. Will you take it twice?" I'earman nodded. The bookmaker pencilled it into his note book. The crowd, attracted by the fact of Coriander's owner coming to the rescue, had surged round them; but no sooner had Mr. Plyart completed his memorandum, than he reiterated his hoarse war cry of "Here's 1.000 to 300 against Coriander!" a shout in which he was immediately joined by two or three other large speculators. "Put it 'down again, Plyart," said Pearman, grimly; and now, inspired with con fidence by the way in which his owner had supported him, several backers invested on the favorite. For a little, it seemed as if Coriander would rally in the market ; but the layers of odds far exceeded the backers; and finally came forth Mr. Plyart's ominous hhout of "4,000 to LOUO against the favorite for The Guineas!'" "I'll take that !" cried Pearman, though his astonishment knew no bounils; and. as the bookmaker noted it, he remarked, with a sneer, "You'll find my horse bud to get out of on the Two Thousand day. I don't think you will hedge, except at a loss." "Perhaps so, sir perhaps so; but I'll 11 you an even hundred he don't start." "Done! and I'll make it 5,000, if you like." "No; you might start him on three legs. I won't risk more than a hundred ou his not starting; but here's 4,000 to 1,000 he' don't win, once more." Sam Pearman shook his head, and, at ail evtnts for once in his life, walked out cf Tattersall's thoroughly puzzled. He knew his horse to be perfectly well, he had 3?en him that morning. As far as he had tried him, he had never tried a three-yenr-old better. What were these ring moo going on? 'fley make great mistakes at tim?s, those members of the magic circle. Th'ir brethren of the Stock Exchange occasionally get the worst of it also; but, as ji ru!e, either backers or shareholders are justified in feeling alarm at a persistent assault on what their money may be invested in. The decline of the favorite for a bg race in the market is hardly so disastrous to the world in general as bank sharej. dropping twenty per cent below premium. Refore Pearman left Loudon the next day, he was aware, from various sources, that Coriander's status in the letting was still further shaken, and that is much as five to one had been offered agriinst the crack of forty-eight hours ago. He thought of it all the way home, and f.dt more utterly bewildered than he had t vcr done before in the whole of his turf experience. Could Sara Pearman have been present nt a conference held in Silky Dallisou's roons, between that astute gentleman and Grenville Rose, though he would have leen still a long way from enlightened cn the subject, yet he would have learned a good deal. It was the Friday night before 1'iat eventful Monday. Grenville had returned from Glinn the day previous. A mouldy old parchment lay on the table between them; it had apparently been consulted and thrown aside. "Itumford says the deed is perfectly good, and Mr. Denison is quite certain there has been no enfranchisement. That's tie cf.se, Gren. Isn't it?" Kose nodded, and Mr. Dallison for a ft- minutes puffed meditatively at his cigar. "Well," he continued, "the law part I leave to you. I presume that is all right. Rumford's opinion is quite good enough to po on, and old Denison, you say, was qidte clear there has never been an enfranchisement. Odd there should not have been; but no doubt. Pearman defunct was quite unaware of the existence of our friend here;" and Dallison jerked hi head in the direction of ths parchment. "He wasn't the man to leave such a blot in his rame if he knew it. Though for the matter of that it was no blot so long as he lived. Now, look here,

I must trr.st to you for the legal working of this affair; the racing part I Tan manage. We've got Sam I'earman in a regular hole, and, better still, be doesn't know it. I can make probably a good bit of money out of this both for you and myself, without any risk whatever; but ulterior events must decide that. Mr. Denison, at all events, must make a good bit; but without hurting his interests, iu fact rather furthering them, you and I might pick up some five thousand pounds apiece. Do you understand?" "Not in the least," replied Grenville. "Well, there's not much necessity you should. Leave that to me; but you must work the legal machinery as I direct. Can you put it in motion by Wednesday or Thursday?" "Let's say Thursday, certain," rejoined liose. "Very good, that will do; but don't let's have any mistakes about it." "All right," nodded the other. "'11 guarantee that, and go down myself.'' "Good. You told me the stake you were playing for, to start with, and as you are in real earnest about winning a wife, I think one may trust you. I shall commence operations at once. I'll see Plyart the bookmaker to-morrow, and put the first part of the program in his hands. We're going, you and I, to lay about a couple of thousand each against Coriander; and I'm going to give him free license to do as much as he likes for himself. " (To be continued.)

IS OUR CLIMATE CHARGING f llecord Show the Similarity of Sennonii riaiietnry banp Slow. It is remarkable how memory exaggerate! the ovenls of our youth. For this reason elderly people have always insisted and probably always will insist that the winters now are weak nnd colorless compared to those of fifty years ago, when the Vnow fell on Thanksgiving day and lasted till the first of March and "the ponds were solid lee to the bottom" and the sound was frozen from shore to shore. As there are no records to prove their assertions, they are positive of their facts, and respect for age and a disposition to believe that the present is rather a commonplace period compared with past centuries, prevent younger people from contradicting them. As far back as accurate records have been kept the climate of the northern hemisphere has not changed, the Ilartford (Conu.) Times says. From 1STto 1907 the mean average winter temperature of the city of New York has ranged from 40.7 degrees In 1SK) to 2G.4 in 1904. There hare been cold winters and comparatively warm winters, but the average of the first three years of the ieriod Is precisely the same as that of the last three 31 degrees. The cold winters are sprinkled in at random, and do not become more numerous or severe as time goes ou. They are evidenlly due to local and teiuiorary causes, probably to the direction and force of the winds or the shifting of the currents cf the ocean, which last. Indeed, are nff cted by the winds. For twenty-four years, from' 1S.7I to 1S7S, the mean winter temperature of eight of our principal cities was almost exactly the name as that of the next twenty-four years. The later perll gives an average only .015 of a degree higher, a galu too small to be beyond the possibility of error. It would seem, tbeu, that our winters are not growing colder. This Is what might be expected from the fact that the northern hemisphere revives the same amount of heat from the sun every year, because Its average distance Is the same. If the sun is cooling down the rate Is so slow that many thousand years must pass before the loss of heat from the great lifegiving sources is perceptible. As a rule the great changes In the physical universe are very delllerate, and, like the tides, move first In one direction and then back. We know that the arctic regions once enjoyed a temperate climate, and that Connecticut was once covered with an Ice-sheet like Greenland. Astronomers and geologists are divided as to how many mhllons of years ago these climatic changes took place. The orbit of the earth Is ellip tie. so that we are now some three million miles nearer the sun in winter than we are In summer. The precession of the qulnoxes will bring it about In time that the earth Is farther from the sun In winter than In sunj.ner. As our planet moves faster the nearer It Is to the sun, the result will be short, hot summers and long, cold winters. The amount of heat received by the earth in a year will be the same, but the effect will be very different, for there will not lo time enough to melt the winter Ice, which will slowly gain until we have another glacial age In the northern hemisphere. At the same time the antarctic continent will be freed from lit Ice cap by the long summer, and become the seat of civilization. Our climate will change In a million or so years, but at present Is fairly stable on the average. HE DEFENDS DIVORCE. Maine J u dice Deelare It I a. Ileiueljr and Not an F.vll. In the course of an address before the Twentieth Century CI' upon the subject of divorce, Lucllll:s A. Emery, chief judge of the Maine Supreme Judicial Court, gave utterance to some views . that have created much comment and discussion among the clergy and others, a Hunger (Me.) dispatch tu the New York Herald says. Judge Kmery said In part: "I have read a great deal and heanl a great deal about the divorce evil. Now, in my opinion, divorce Is not an evil, but rather a remedy for evil. Like other remedies for evil, It may Q id does have attendant lesser evils, which we must serlovsly consider and eliminate If possible, but In Itself divorce Is not an evi It is a remedy. The evil precedes the divorce, but comes after marriage. I shall not consider the moral sld. of the question. I am speaking from the legal standpoint alone In considering this remedy for many of the evil of society. "Marriage Is a civil institution, established by statute for the benefit of inn n. It Is not a sacrament. There is nothing divine about It, but it Is a purely human Institution. Law has established it. Its rights and abuses are defined, not by the church, but by law. "To be sure, divorce may, In a sense. have an 111 effect upon society. If would be better, of course, if all marriages were Ideal, but they are not. We find these terrible conditions. The remedy may be a choice of two evils, but I say that In choosing divorce society has chosen the lesser. I have heard it said that divorce should not be granted because of the children, but I maintain that it is better for them not only better, but less hurtful. And I say these things in the light of honest experience." Japan's earthquake record for fifty years Is 27,5G, Italy had a few more.

The Mother of (he Man. No perfect woman she but unafraid She walked the ways of life A living daughter first, then afterwards A loyal loving wife. She sat upon no pedestal self-reared In lofty pride alone But shoulder close with workers walked To worldly fame unknown. The simple duties of the common lot Its loves, its hopes, its fears With kindly heart and steadfast faith to brave Whate'er might bring the years. i She had Iier place in life, a lowly one, Rut even in her thought She neither shirked the task nor unearned rest From present duty sought. And when a son she mothered won his way To fortune and to fame. The foolish world looked ou and wondered much Whence all his courage came. aiost Petted Women In the World. That we are the most indulged and petted women in the world is undoubtedly true; It is difficult to see why we should claim a powerful place in the national life. While the women of other countries are making and saving, our women are wasting and sending. The light-hearted Italian women are a source of wealth to their country by their frugality and their not inconsiderable business ability. Their less light-hearted and less comely German sisters are miracles of hard-working thrift. No one who has lived in Germany can fail to have observed wnat comfortable homes and what substantial meals the German hausfrau of all classes conjures from incomes so tiny that the American can only wonder Low they manage to live at all. It is also interest Ins to observe that for her success in homemakiug the German woman reaps her reward. The German husband may seem to us unchivalrous In the minor details of life; he may talk with brutal disparagement about the "female brain," but when he goes out to amuse himself it doesn't occur to him to go alone. He takes with him his wife and children. That pathetic person whose husband neglects her for the society of men. for whom ear tears flow so often In this country, Is not found in Germany. While the poorest class of English women are poor homemakers, and while we undoubtedly learned some of our lessons iu iiielficient and wasteful cooking from our English kinswomen, English women of the upper classes put us to shame in the part they play In the political life of the country. They have their definite part they are expected to play la the game of politics. The well educated English women do not exist who can not talk Intelligently on the political situation. American women can not; politics bores them. It is. however. In France that woman has the most power. From the peasant up she takes a more active part In the affairs of her country than do the women of any other land. The prosperity of FraiMv is builded ou the amazing thrift of French women. She combines with this thrift a supreme talent for home-making. Housekeeping does not giv her nervous prostration, and the brisk cheerfulness of nil French women is the one thing that notably strikes the traveler in France, whether he conies from America, Germany or England. The French woman's business ability is pre-eminent. With her thrift, gayety and business ability It Is not surprising that she wields the power that she does. Applcton's Magazine. Rorax snuffled up the nose Is good for catarrh. It is said very strong tea will stop bleeding from a cut. A mustard plaster for a young child should be half flour. A dab of eau de cjlogne will often remove a slight red spot from the face. A couple of soda mints, or a teaBpoonful of cooking soda in water, will often stave off a sick headache. A teaspoonful of Jamaica ginger gives quick relief for a pain iu the stomach or cramp colic. Half a teaspoonful of soda may In added. A teaspoonful of strong black tea tied up in a piece of muslin, with boiling water poured over it, may be left on the eye all night for n sty. Often when one has a cold the eyes feel hot and are red and Inflamed. The best way to effect a cure Is to bathe the eye.-j frequently with a solution of boric acid and water. A woman who would be beautiful should avoid worry and anger, for it is a well-known fact that they write Que lines, which deepen into wrinkles, on the face. A season of rest and freedom from violent emotions will do more to efface them than all the toilet cream ever Invented. Worry a Habit. Worrying Is simply a habit. It Is ilso a very foolish habit. It cannot be cured by good resolutions nor by talking about It. The best cure Is to keif busy. As "Satan always finds pome work for Idle hands to do," so the Idle mind will always find plenty of time to worry over the cares and perplex lties of life. The health side of ti.is hint is. that worry impairs digestion, destroys mental joIse, and ruius good temier. And no one can be physically healthy and lvPIy who -ultivutc the habit of worrying. A Thorough Wife. It is not known generally that Miss Marjorie Gould has had a thorough education In housewifery. Her mother, though a woman of artistic activities, has domestic inclinations and believes every young woman, no matter how wealthy, should be able to run a household. In fact, Mrs. Gould holds that thf richer a wonan is the more skilled 03 a housewife she should be, because her establishment will be all the larger. Miss Gould, therefor Is an adept In

erry branch of household science. She can sit In her boudoir, and through a house telephone direct every detail of the daily machinery at Georgian Court. Nor is her .ability restricted to manage ment. She can cook as well as many a chef, and when it comes to delicacies she has many specialties. Fashion 'ote. A new notion in shoes is patent leather with tan color tops and pearl buttons. It seems that for day wear one cannot have too many buttons or too much braid on the cloth or velvet gown. The pannier Is showing itself in the early modes. Whether it will be dropped later or not is hard now to determine. The tightly fitting sleeve is still modish, but some of the new models have little upper sleeves given to them, a great improvement for long, thin arms. Hack comes the bolero, as piquant as ever. Iiolero blouses, covered with soutache embroidery, are worn over a guimpe of lace or net, under the 'dowdy" coat. I.nnillns a Hatband, An Atchison family of three girls, all of them equally attractive, had a curiosity to know the best method of landing a husband, and agreed to try an experiment. One of them learned to cook, arl was a domestic sort of girl. AnotVfr learned shorthand and SIMPLE ONEgot a position in a downtown office. The third devoted all. her attention to society. If we were writing a story, we would marry off the girl who could cook within three mouths, buti alas! the facts are different. The society girl has landed a wealthy ma a. the stenographer has another nibbling; but the real heroine, the one who can make light biscuits, cook a leefsteak an l)oil a soup bone, has attracted no attention whatever Atchison Globe. Comets Must (o. The corset is woman's closest friend, literally as well as figuratively, and that's no joke. Neither is it a joke how the corset has been torturing her Insldesaud making life a burden to her. During the past few years a great many changes have been made In corsets and as many corresponding ' figures" have leen in style. Woman has altered her shape again nnd agaiu at the behest of fashion, regardless of the intentions of nature, and all this changing could have but one result. It is already manifest. It is a crusade to do away wiih the corset entirely and lermit the female form to be Just as was intended in the beginning. The agitation against it has begun where the evils of tight lacing have been most pronounced in France. The organs Inside the body are capable of being compressed to a most alar in inn degree, nnd thus It happens that fashion's decrees have made many women a bunch of physical abnormalities. She can't see them, but she has t hem nevertheless. Sage Hair Itestorer. I'lace one quart of boiling water and two ounces of sage in an iron jnit. allow to stand for twenty-four hours, and then filter through filtering paper. Digest one ounce of pine tar In one quart of water, for forty-eight hours, stirring occasionally, and then -lilter. n ix the two together, and add 1 quart, luy rum, '2 ounces colngne. '2 ounces tincture of cantliaridcs. 4 ounces glycerin and '20 ounces distilled water. Apply to the scalp once daily, brush, massage for ten minutes. This will gradually restore gray hair to its original color and Is also a good tonic. Washing- A p r o a . Washing, except in the case of experienced home experts, is apt to be a damp occupation, splashes ldng difficult to prevent when the Ins and outs of the trade are not understood. A dampproof apron will, in such a case, be found to represent a great convenience, and one of the best materials for the purpose is that of white oiled cloth bound with braid and supplemented with a wide bib. A Ileal Mna. A real man is one who, reaching his home, Is met at the gate, door or in the house by his children, who grab him around the neck, hug and kiss him and maul him in general; their action to be followed by a hearty reception by the wife and mother. It Is possible for such a man to be a gentleman, but many "gentlemen" are not real men. New York Sun. Curves Out of Style. Line, not curve, is the mark of feminine beauty to-day. How to effect it is the dressmaker's problem. One of the hitter's devices for the lengthening of apparent line is the outlining of seams with needlework, braid, embroidery, buttons what she wills but somethiog that trill emphasize the distance

from neck to knee depth of skirt hem. Sleeves, too. are similarly outlined. The woman with long limbs legs and arms is the envied of her contemporaries. If she has not the necessary elongation, the next thing Is to obtain the appearance as far as possible. For Leather. Vinegar and linseed oil form an excellent reviver for leather cushions and upholstered furniture which have become dull with wear. One part of vinegar to two of linseed oil Is the correct proportion, the two Ingredients being poured Into a bottle and the latter shaken until the polish is of the consistency of cream. A Dust Remedy. An excellent instrument for keeping a sewing, machine or typewriter free of dust in the crevices is an old bicycle pump. A small bellows can often be used in the same way, or even an atomizer. The work of cleaning can be done in half the time. Where Women's Clubs Do Good. The clubwomen of lhe west seem to have a higher standard of duty than their sisters In the east. Here clubwomen as a rule meet for social purposes, hut in the west the women's clubs exist chiefly to act on Important public problems. In Texas the clubwomen take active interest in the schools, help the poor, equip small PIECE GOWNS. parks as playgrounds, build fountains and driuking troughs for horses, and take women and children into the country for picnics. In this way the clubs promote the good of the whole community. A new Idea was put Into effect by clubwomen iu Kansas City. The members have delegated themselves to distribute flowers and books among the convalescent poor. They go not only to the hospitals but into the homes. In fact, they visit chiefly in the homes, for they find it is there the need is greatest for cheerfulness and the helping spirit. llroadcloth of the finest texture in a delightful shade of Copenhagen blu made the gown from which the illustration was taken and which was unusually smart in appearance.
