Z904. The Care of Blankets. Never let blankets remain in service after they are soiled; dirt rots the fiber and invites moths. Because of the peculiar saw-tooth formation of wool hair it is necessary that a pure soap, made of the best materials, be used; a cheap soap, especially one which contains rosin, will cause the blanket to become hard by matting the fiber. Wash Blanket and Retain their Softness.

Dissolve ihivingi of Ivory Soap in boiling witer, add cold water nntfl nearly lukewarm. Immerse a blanket and knead with tie hands rinse in clean warm witer in which alto some Ivory Soap hu been Dry in plice that it neither very warm nor very cold.

A well-known who waged war on the nude In art a few years ago, perhaps never will forget the visit he made to-the quarters of a New York art league.

The members had been forewarned of his coming. The reformer had been visiting a number of art galleries and schools and had created something of a sensation by his denunciations. Consequently, when the students of the league In question heard of his Intended invasion they began preparations for the event ful day. The reformer, having heard much In reference to this particular league, felt that It afforded a fine field for his evangelistic work; so he entered its quarters with considerable expectancy. He burst into the room where the students were at work, and took one horror-stricken look at the different pieces of statuary from which they were seeking inspiration.

The "Dying Gladiator's" manly form writhed In a brilliant suit of pink underclothing; a "Hercules" defied the norld from the folds of a pair of dilapidated overalls and a red-flannel shirt whlle the "Venu de Milo" blushed trom the depths of a gaudy "Mother Hubbard."

"Dear (Look at above heading and dream a dream of joy, I'm here, and when I saw that name tacked up over the portals of our hotel, I aaM, here' where I rusticate Just on the strength of the name. "We are up on a bluff. Sand bluff.

I've been here three blessed, broiling days, and haven't found anything In the place yet but sand and bluff. And sea, lots of sea, so much sea that you hope you'll never have to see so much sea again In all your life. Also, a boathouse, tintype tent, peanut pavil ion and bathing houses little, hot, new pine coffins stood up on end. Also girls, and girls, and girls, from to to. assorted sizes, and all looking for the Man.

There are lots of him running around In the days of his youth, but for a real Man, such as we are led to expect by all the summer lore ever written, bangs his delightful self around summer resorts, and wears white duck, and bring you water lilies, and sighs over a mandolin at you 'neath the pale moonlight, there isn't a single specimen wandering for miles hround our villa. "Do you know what they call this particular eyrie I have alighted on? rto -i air a ijana. isn i it, after you've toiled over a typewriter while the wintry wind did a ragtime dance around your furies throat, and you didn't give a rap, because you were thinking of your white waists, and your linens, and organdies, and your heavenly, floppy Trianon hat with Its lace veranda, all of which should storm the heart of the Summer Man, and make him fall down and worship by the silvery starlight. "Nancle Bell. It isn't any such a stuff.

There isn't any Summer Man. And even If there were, and he. didn't have sense enough to run away the minute he grasped the situation, I wouldn't have a bit of respect for him. "That's all. I shall be home in a few days, Just as soon as I have tan enough to bluff the stay-at-homes Into the idea that I've had a glorious time, and been belle of the beach.

Be strong, Nancle. Don't look even at an excursion steamer. If sinners entice thee, dress up in your organdies and walk down Fifth avenue, and you'll see more admiring sons of Adam In an hour than you will out here In a week. "Haplessly yours, "PERDITA." "Day After Yesterday. "Hello, Central.

All hall the Man! He came, he saw, and Caesar isn't a circumstance. He has taken the large corner room. Mrs. Banks, our general overseer, says he Is an exceptional young man. Wonder how much board he paid in advance.

"He isn't real young, nor real old; Just that intermediate age that is so interesting. I don't think he Is exactly handsome, but you know what a properly trimmed Vandyke and a pair of rimless eyeglasses will do for any man. He's that kind. "This morning he escorted all of us through the glen. Did I tell you that we had a glen? Oh, yes.

Glen Ellyn. Just fernlnst the It's a break In the sand bluff, and it's damp, and plney and darksome at midday. Heretofore the organdie flock had religiously eschewed Its ferny swampiness, but you should have seen us trail after him over fen and stump, and hidden vine, the whilst he fiehed out dinky little weeds, and discoursed on them. "I opine he Is a botanist. Well, it's better than a barber.

A letter came for him today addressed to Professor Adrian Vogel. How's that for individuality? He looks it, too. He does not dance, and he does not play the mandolin. He goes for his morning dip at some unearthly hour before we are up. In fact, he does not do any of the orthodox summer but he has mariners and customs of his own.

"For Instance, he sings, and sings well. There are about ninety and nine Muses who group themselves In the parlors after dinner to listen to their Apollo. When he sings "All Aboard for he looks at you as much as to say be has only two passes for the boat, but the other one Is for you. "Yachting and autoing he classes as nerve racking, but nature, and close to nature's heart, and all the rest of It, Is what the professor's Joy Is. I think, privately, we would get closer to na ture's heart, and the professor's heart.

That braced us up, because the professor did look like It, so while the fleeting moments sped, Genevieve and I sped fleeter, and found some clothes lines, and a couple of husky lads In sweaters, from the peanut stand, and the boathouse, and we sped back to the glen.

"Then the husky lads climbed the bluff on the sandy side, and did the Alpine act with the clothes lines, assisted by several ropes from the boat-house, and before our eyes the professor was pulled back to life and liberty. "He Is resting now. It is dark and still at the villa. No hops nor mandolins tonight. The shock will bring him to, I think, from the botanical dream, and cause him to concentrate his Joy on some loving, sympathetic heart.

And It may be Your "PERDITA." "Monday. "I shall he home on the Tuesday boat. The other girls are packing, too. The overseer has fainted. Only the professor Is serene.

He was up bright and early this morning to meet the 6:08 train, and when he came back he had a Professor, and three little Professor Juniors tagging merrily along after him, "No, I do not think men were deceivers ever. I think It was absent-mindedness, only Mrs. Professor gave the Muses their crushing blow when she said she was so glad we had all Joined the professor's summer botany class, as he had reduced the course rate to $10, and she thought It was the sweetest, most elevating study one could take up. We all assured her-It was elevating. It was, for the professor.

"PERDITA." rou go in, and the sides are rocky and jreclpltous, with much shrubbery and undergrowth, and scraggly pine trees listed to windward. And Just as the nrst streak of lightning quivered In the sky we heard a faint shout for help. "It was the professor.

He hung suspended In air on the bare limb of a dead pine that Jutted out from the rock haK way up the bluff, like Genius on Pegasus, the widow said, on a pet-rifled Pegasus. "Then Genevieve Perley, our college product, said Pegasus couldn't be petrified. He would have to be ossified. And the widow began to cry, and sat down on a log, and said she didn't care a bit either way, ossified or petrified, and Prof. Vogel was such a lovely man, and always paid his board like a gentleman, and she hated to see him killed before her eyes, and she never felt so much like fainting before in all her life.

"Genevieve said fainting was counted out. He was a fine target for lightning up there, and while it was none of her business, and she had no interest in the professor as a lovely man, or In -the continuance of his regular board paying, still, she. thought a rope might be a good thing. 'In mountainous began Agatha, the artist, who has been Eu-ropized, 'I believe they tie a rope around the waist of one person 'It's the said Genevieve. 'Kind of a slip knot' "The professor shouted for help again, this time fainter still.

'No, the said Agatha firmly. 'And lower that person over the mountain side until he rescues the other party." 'Let's lower murmured Genevieve, but the widow cried, and said her feet were getting wet, and she didn't think it was right to Joke In the My home wis la the Islaad that lov Sot In the aoaa.

In Vogue, "the efforts of a woman of moderate means to bring her home Into the ranks of those whose harmonious color scheme and clever craftsman's furniture have become attractive and desirable to her.

"A year or mo ago the plush-covered walnut furniture of her drawing room disappeared, and was replaced by some chairs, a table and a davenport of mahogany, good reproductions of Chippendale styles. The olive-green, tan and pink large-figured carpet, the embossed buff and gold white wall pape and elaborate laoe curtains with accessories, with the new furniture looked utterly out of place and unhomellke. The room was much less attractivj than in Its first state. A few months later saw the two shades of gray wood- wora treated with white enamel with an eggshell finish, and the walls recovered with two-toned figured blue paper an exquisite rich blue. The seats of the Chippendale chairs and the davenport were upholstered In a tanestrv stuff which showed blue, sort green apd mns in its coloring, snnally this carpet was replaced by a hardwood floor, and on It were spread a few well-chosen Oriental rugs.

Long curtains of the tapestry carefully draped and caught back in even folds outlined the windows, and the lace curtains were festooned on either side next the glass. An onyx and brass table a cherished wedding gift was the last to go, and In its stead a teakwood stool holding a chased copper Jardiniere In which flourished a Boston fern stood near the slmnle man tel. Over this mantel a Colonial mirror was set The evolution complete, the room was good, but save the lace curtains, piano and brass Are irons, none of Its original furnishings were here. A very important change and one made early, was the removal of the glazed yellow and green mottled tiling. That was replaced with vitreous dull blue six-inch tiles.

The change Inaugurated In the drawing-room was continued through tne nouse. Much of the old furniture was restalned and finished, or given several coats of enamel, and made to answer the new purpose perfectly. The drawing-room carpet was sent to the dyer and came home a rich, two-toned crimson, which looked well In the dining-room. Her rule which was a good one was to utilize all she could without Injury to her effect, otherwise to sell or store the Impossible piece." Tryii)? Hamlin Garland, the author, relates the following, which shows that sometimes a prophet doesn't get all the honor due him. even outside his own country: The author sat beside a schoolgirl on a train In Western New York.

Glancing at the book she was reading, he saw It was one of his own novels. Naturally, he was delighted, and with an ingratiating smile, said: "I beg your pardon, miss, but do you like that book?" "Oh. yes. I like It very much. Indeed!" she replied.

"Is there any particular reason why you should like It?" asked Mr. Garland. "Well, I And It Is a splendid book to read because there are so many pages I can skip." Then the novelist nut on his thinking cap and gazed thoughtfully out of the window. Jherj JHe Sat Doui). A lawyer was examining a witness In a case where the question Involved was as to the mental condition of the testatrix.

The witness1 under examination, herself an aged woman, had testified to finding the testatrix failing, childish, and that when she spoke to her she looked as though she did not understand. The cross-examining attorney tried to get her to describe this look, but she didn't succeed very well In doing so. At last, getting a little Impatient, he aeked: "Well, how did she look? Did she look at you a9 I am looking at you now, for instance?" "Well, yes," replied the witness, soft-, ly; "kind of vacant like." Philadelphia Public Ledger.

"People who ay the straight front and low bust are going out simply show that they haven't good sense or that they don't know anything about the way we used to wear our corset. There was a time, not so very long ago, when each and every woman put her corset on on top of her diaphragm. This made her look as If she hadn't any diaphragm. It gave her narrow shoulders, a humped back and distorted bust Lots of women who had really pretty figures didn't even look respectable when they put on their corset and dress. The corset made them, instead of their making the corset It Is a wonder that when looking about for a means of earning money more women do not try glove cleaning.

Almost all the stores have a department for this, but many people prefer to have theirs done with more individual care than a large establishment can afford. An enterprising woman could go to her customer once or twice a week and collect their soiled gloves, ribbons and lace accessories and take them away to clean. She could mend worn fingers or torn embroideries, remove spots or stains and return the articles to their owners all ready for wear. White kid gloves are almost a necessity to a woman who goes ever so little Into the social world, and nothing is more aggravating than to wait a long while for them to be cleaned, and then perhaps And that the fingers need repairing. The average woman would be willing to pay to have these things attended to by a careful worker.

The old English type has been superseded by a new design to lettering, known as "French script."

Is responsible for the other.

Mrs. Roosevelt's concoction is known at the White House as "a little of everything salad." It contains one small onion, chopped fine; one large bunch of celery, cut up coarse; two heads of lettuce, one large sweet apple, cut In ribbons; one sour apple cut up the same way, and French dressing tossed over all. When celery Is scarce there Is a cucumber aaed, and sometimes there Is a handful of water-cress and some dandelion greens. or miss Alice sandwich stale bread Is cut In-sllces and Isthen cut round with a biscuit cutter. Upon this Is sprinkled a generous sprinkling of salt.

An old-fashioned rule for walnut catchup that dates back almost 100 years I a follows: Take green walnut shell. Mix them well with salt Let them stand In this way for six days, frequently beating and mashing them. By this time the shells will have become soft and pulpy. By banking the shell on one side of the tub and raising the tub on that side the liquor will drain off to the other side.

Knowing absolutely nothing of such things, I wish you would settle thlsortis. Burslem is the market town of Staffordshire.

England, and noted for its potteries. Why "Oxford" should be added I do not know. Will some connoisseur in ceramics tell us? Deep Breathing a Panacea. I know I may seem unreasonable, but so much depends upon breathing right that I beg you. in my name and In that of others, to repeat In your column the directions for deep breathing published several months ago.

This time I promise to keep them securely and not trouble you again. It may be some excuse that the doctors have Just declared mv lungs weak and advised deep breathing, taken regularly. Honestly do you really believe It will do any good? Or, is it all a fad to amuse mvallda? M. R. S.

If breathing at all be a fad, then is deep breathing one. I could write page In praise of it. Its virtues are not confined to the lungs. It assists digestion; It restores proper circulation to the blood; it clears the brain and tones up the whole system. And to think that not one person In five thousand ever really breathes more than half-way dqwn his lungs! Deep breathing should be made a compulsory exercise in public schools.

After which preamble -I give the extract to which I suppose you allude. It was originally copied from an exchange. On arising and the last thing before going to bed, when you have on your night dress, stand with you back against a door and fill vour lungs, breathing through the nostrils, with the mouth closed, until the lungs can hold no more. Retain the breath while you count four. Expel it through the nose, counting seven.

Practice this breathing movement ten times. Next stand upright, turn out the toes so that the heels touch. Place your hands on your, hips, the fingers on the diaphragm, the thumbs back ki the soft part of the back, either side of the spinal column. Now draw in a deep breath, force, the air down, so that you feel the thumbs pressed out through the expansion of lower back part of the lungs; hold the breath while counting four, expel counting seven. Practice this movement six times.

Third movement Stand straight, head up, shoulders thrown back, arms hanging by side. Now gradually raise the arms until thoy are high above the head. While frou are performing this movement take a deep breath through tbe nostrils until the lungs cati hold no more. Retain the breath while counting four. Now gradually lower the arms, at the same time slowly expelling the breath, counting seven.

Repeat six times. Practice deep breathing constantly. Take deep inspirations with the mouth closed, retain the breath a few seconds and exhale also through tbe nostrils. Lay your hand on the abdomen when you take one of these deep Inspirations, and you will see the flattening effect on the ft rlZ''WLjtpp. I MENU Loave put awry th even com out awry- Spanish Proverb.
