Care of Umbrellas.
Umbrellas should never be
kept tightly rolled. It causes
them to wear out much faster.
When wet an umbrella should
always be left to dry open, with
the handle down. If this is not
possible let the water drip from
It when It Is resting on the han
dle.
To Restore CnrpHs.
To a pall of -warm water add
ft tablespoouful of ammonia. Dip
• cloth in this, wring nearly dry
and wipe the entire surface of
the carpet with the dampened
cloth. Frequently rinse the cloth
bo that It is freed from the dust
gathered from the carpet. The
turpentine restores the faded bril
liancy of the colors.

THE TACOMA TIMES.
Cynthia's Answers to
Many Questions
A FLOOR MAWAGMI ON
I>ear Miss Grey: A few
years afco, I ran tinners ever/
Saturday evening at a small
town and «as known for
some distance along the
coast as the only floor man
ager who would allow rag
ging. It vms when ragging
was first introduced on the
Sound.
At those dunces It teemed
everyone was thunderstruck
to «ec a couple "rag." Per
sonally, 1 think a smooth
"walk," walked to a good
two-step or wall/. (and I
prefer to cull It "walking"
iii-i.-iid of "ragging") is (lie
most beautiful dance one can
see. Not the rough way a
rowdy would "rag"» nut the
refined glide of self-respect
ing dancers who know how.
The trouble with most is,
they don't know what "rag
ging" is. and much less, how
i.i dance* One can make
any dnnce rough. The Dun*
isli polka, for instance, Miss
Grey, wouldn't you prefer to
see a couple of, we'll say col
lege students, glide away
softly, smoothly, in perfect
time, "walking" instead of
bouncing up and down like a
rubber bull.
Oh, deliver me from that
"society hop"! Mothers, he
ware of these public dances,
especially in the country,
and 1 claim to know. Vet,
in justice to my homo town,
when you nre at a country
dance, inside the hall with
your dangl»ters, no more or
der or res|»ecl could possibly
he paid you in your own
home.
A PHOKKSSIOXAIi MUSI
CIAN OX "KAOQIKO"
Hear Miss (Jrey: Being
very fond of dancing, I am
interested in discussions on
"ranging."
I learned to dance when
12 years of age, and at
tended dances with my
brother. I have been mar
ried for 10 years mid have
a daughter nine years old,
and am yet very fond of
dancing) hut I dread the
time to come when my lit
tle girl will want to dance,
on account of the so-culled
"ragging."
The idea that "ragging"
came from syncopated music
is a mistaken one, as a good
straight two-step can be
danced as a "rag" as easily
as to a syncopated or "rag
time" piece. lam a profes
sional musician.
If mothers would get busy
showing some of our High
school girls the pit-falls they
are laying for themselves by
"ragging" and allowing
young men to dunce in that
fashion with them, they
would be working a worthy
cause.

He says I should not go to

not read and I should not go
to shows, and everytime he
goes out, I can go too; but
when he does not, I must
stay at home. I always have
to go alone, for he never
likes to go with me. And
every time he scolds me he
always threatemi to kill me
if ever I should rail a police.
Please advise me what to do,
dear Miss Grey, for I cannot
bear it much longer.
I am a good, honest wife.
I am a Catholic and don't
believe in divorces, so please
tell me. what to do. I hope
you will publish this soon
and hope it will l>e a lesson

MHS. FRANCES FOT.SOM CLEV ELAND, WIDOW OF PRESI
DENT GHOVER CLEVELAND.
The "white house bride" and
the mother of the first "white
house baby," is to be married
again. Maybe there'll be a double
wedding, and mother and eldest
daughter, Mrs. Frances Folsom
Cleveland and Miss Esther Cleve
land will go away upon their
honeymoons at the same time.
G rover Cleveland's widow,
whose engagement tp Prof.
Thomas J. Preston, is announced,
has neVer craved the spotlight of
publicity. Even in the days when
she had youth, the fresh beauty
that youth gives, and the enviable
position of "first lady of the
land" Mrs. Cleveland preferred
the nursery of her babies and the
library of her husband to the
drawing room and dancing floors
of gilded and be-jemmed society.
Following the retirement of
her husband from the presidency
In 1897, Mrs. Cleveland and her
family lived quietly in the college
town of Princeton, N. J. Mrs.
Cleveland, who numbers among
her chief charms an exquisitely
modulated voice and a mastery of
the old-fashioned are of conver
sation, became a part of the unl

But she was never unmindful
of her children's welfare, and was
often called "the ideal American
mother." A year after their
father's death, Mrs. Cleveland
took the children, Silases Esther
(the white house baby) and Miss
Marion, and her boys, lllclmrd
and Francis Grovcr, to Europe
that they might be given a year
in study of the French language
and European customs.
Recently the engagement of
Miss Esther to Randolph West,
son of Dean West of Princeton
university, was announced. She
Is 19; her sister Marlon Is 17.
Richard Is 15, and his brother
is 9.
Mrs. Cleveland was educated at
Wells college, at which her future
husband is now professor of arch
aeology and art history. The
bride-to-be has been a trustee of
the college since 18S7. It was
while she was a student at Wells
