Sewing Machine Hints.
When your sewing machine belt be-.-onws
lire. do not stop to take it off
In order To tighten It. Just drop a lit
tle machine oil upon it and you will
llnd th- 1Ht tight after a few turns
of tb wl.tfl. One sometimes has trou
Jle because the needle cuts heavy
-otton or linen goods when stitching.
If the searn to be stitched Is rubbed
witli hard white soap you will have no
fiire diflloulty.
A Tonic for Sewing Machines.
After some years' usage every sew
ing machine is likely to clog up with
line dust which the machine oil col
lects on the bearings. As soon, as the
machine begins to work heavily, take
out the shuttle and then give each
inoydde part a gem-ntis hath of gas
oline. Work 1 1. foot lever briskly, so
that the gasoline may penetrate every
part. The old oil and caked dust will
loo-son and fall off in quantities that
will amaze you. Then open the win
dows of the sewing room and let the
fumes of the gasoline escape. Of
-course, during this cleaning process,
the machinist will take good care that
there i no lighted gas, lamp or fire
1n the room. It Is a good plan then
to let the machine stand without the
usual lubricating oil until you are
fready to use it again. A piece of
chamois should always be kept on
Tuind to wipe off the superiluous oil
Ibefore beginning to stitch.
Economy in Machine Needles.
Keep a piece of white soap In the
jraarhine drawer, and when stitching
VACATION FROCKS
r
1.1 fe holds enticing prospects for the
younger generation Just now. The
.long vacation Is almost here, with days
fo be filled with play and quite likely
.a Journey and a visit to add to Its al
lurements. And there Is always the
certainty of new clothes when one Is
lo go visiting. A frock to travel in,
others for play, and one or two for
prand occasions when everyone dresses
tip, all help in making life one contin
uous round of pleasure In vacation
ftlme.
? Since the designing of children's
clothes has been given Into the hands
of specialists who devote all their time
and thought to It, all the needs of lit
tle folks are well taken care of. and
mothers need only concern themselves
vlth making selections from the styles
submitted to them. At the left of
1 he two frocks shown above there Is a
model which Is suited to cotton mate
rials, for everday wear, and will look
well developed in dark-colored taffeta,
for traveling and street wear. It is
nade with knickerbockers and is alto
gether practical.
Aa shown in the picture the dress
is plain chambray. A single box plait
At each side of the front and a front
piece gathered to a band at the neck
.give it good lines. The three-quarter
length sleeves and the pockets find
a band finish, like that of the neck, all
.that one could wish, but two large
parl buttons are allowed for adorn
ment at the ends of the band at the
meek. The wide collar of white ba
tiste or organdie Is a separate affair,
nd Its hem is finished with a narrow
feather-stitching of colored silk.
Plain chambray and plaid gingham
FEMININEFR1PPERIES
Black net and gold passementerie
Are charming for evening turbans.
For spring wear are hats made en
tirely of ribbon, satin or taffeta.
Blouses, designed to be worn with
cults, are especially partial to embroid
ery. Some of the new jersey frocks come
in strong colors like turquoise.
Bead-studded silk bags are very pop
ular and less expensive than those
with solid beading.
t
anything with much dressing In the
goods, rub the seams with the soap
and you will find you can stitch with
ease and with no danger of breaking
the needle.
Always keep cm hand In the machine
drawer a small whetstone, and if your
nedle becomes dull sharpen It on the
whetstone. You can make It as good
as new.
An Excellent Spool Rack.
To keep machine drawers in perfect
order saw a thin board to fit the bot
tom of the drawer, mark it with rings,
using a spool, and put a peg or nail
in the center of each ring. Now each
spool Is in its own place on a nail and
the thread does not become tangled.
With a short hatpin one can guide
and place the work. Keep the hatpin
in the sewing machine drawer.
Tea for Tinting.
Tea Is better than coffee for tint
ing the various shades of cream lace,
because there Is less chance of streak
ing. Use a strong solution of black
tea. and add this to the rinsing wa
ter, dipping It once or twice. This
gives a better color than using tea
strong enough to give it the right color
the first time it is dipped. After lace
has been washed and tinted it should
be brought back to Its original shape
Wy pinning on a clean Ironing board,
or several folds of a towel. Keep In
mind the shape of the lace as you pin,
and pin it so that all the scallops are
the same size. These pins should be
put in very close and the work re
quires a great deal of patience.
make a little dress that will prove use
ful almost any hour of the day, and
this combination of materials we have
always with us. In the dress at the
left of the group It Is shown In a frock
having a waist of chambray and skirt
of gingham, with the addition of white
organdie in it little vestee and collar.
Bands and tabs with pearl butons and
button holes make this frock Interest
ing. The skirt has Inverted plaits at
the front, back and on the sides and
the pockets, like so many others, are
cut on the bias of the goods and fin
ished with pointed bands.
Morning Frocks for Summer.

ham. Remember smart severity
marks these tub dresses. An Interest
ing example of these gingham gowns
which will be popular this summer, la
made of blue and white checked ging
ham with trimming of butcher's linen.
A square yoke of butcher's linen is
worked In blue eyelets, through which
a blue silk lacer runs. The same treat
ment is used on cuffs with right angle
"cutouts." A border of white Haen
hems the skirt. The belt of white
suede is punched with blue eyelets and
fastens with a blue enamel buckle.
Novelties in Crepe.
Crinkly crepe is one of the inter
esting fabric novelties of Paris, and
frocks are made of It both in dark and
light colors.
Many of the new cotton or silk
blouses have sleeves of three-quarter
length, with wide cuffs.
Some of the new brocade vests in
the smart box coats have their lower
parts gathered like a girdle.
Blouses to wear with box coats arc
generally of georgette embroidered
with silk floss or yarn.
Thoater hats are often of the tlnj
directoire style and made of black sat
In and black straw with aigrettes.
Colored wooden beads take the place
of buttons on fine Tests of organdie.

When Living Was Cheap.
Ed Morrill of Fordyce, Ark... has a
copy of the Des Arc Weekly Citizen
for October 9. 1858. It was published
by his grandfather, J. C. Morrill of
Des Arc. At the time It was printed
there was an epidemic of yellow fever
In the South and in one week Xew Or
leans had 3S0 deaths. Among the mar
ket quotations are the following: Tea,
85 cents a pound; chickens, $1.25 a
dozen; eggs, 10 cents a dozen; ham,
10 cents a pound; beef, 4 cents a
pound. Whisky is quoted at 2S cents

Transmigration of Souls.
A fresh young man was pressing an
old gentleman, who evidently fell
bored, to give him an illustration ol
the transmigration of souls, showing
how a person's identity might be main
tained. At last the old gentleman re
plied : "Supposing you should die. yon
soul might appt-ir In a canary bird;
when the canary bird died It might ap
pear in a Hon tr a tiger; again, ll
might appear In a jackass and 1
might strQke Its ears and say, Mj
dear fellow, you have not changed r

noblest sufferings and the most exem
plary faithfulness and the severest
truth and the heartiest counsel and the
greatest union of mind, of which brave
men and women are capable.

HOUSEHOLD CONVENIENCES.
The skillful worker In any business
always keeps up-to-date tools, for he
knows he will thus In
crease his efficiency. The
efficient housewife also
knows that time, strength
and temper are lost by
using old, worn-out and
cumbersome utensils.
Why use dull paring and
carving knives when a
small sharpener can be
bought which will keep all cutting
tools In good order? If there Is any
one thing which will cause one to use
ptrong language it Is a dull carving
knife.
A tray to remove food and dishes
from the dining table or to carry it to
the table Is a great saving of steps.
If one cannot afford to buy a wheeled
tray or tea wagon get the handy man
to make you one, using the small
wheels from an old gocart. A wire
dish drainer Is light and can be used
as a tray If no other Is at hand, for it
Is easy to carry.
Paper or wooden tray3 or plates
make fine dishes to use In the Ice box.
for they do not break and may be re
newed often at little expense.
Paper of all kinds saves dish wash
ing. Wipe out the greasy dishes with
a piece of soft paper before putting
them into the dish water. Keep the
table wiped up with paper, saving the
dishcloth for stains and grease.
A kitchen table covered with zinc or
some hard surface that does not need
pcourlng to keep clean Is a most neces
sary kitchen convenience. Some good
scales, a good clock, n kitchen cabinet
with everything at hand to use In
cookery, are, all necessary equipment.
Keep a bottle of kerosene near the
Blnk, and when It Is dry wipe out with
a cloth dampened with kerosene; It
will keep clean without scouring. Re
peated scourings with various cleaning
powders will ruin the surface, so that
it becomes rough and stains easily.
Have a stool that will slip under
the table when not needed and use It
to sit on whllft preparing vegetables
or doing many kinds of work. It will
be found a great saving on tired feet.
One can learn to warh and wipe dishes
and iron sitting on a stool. Have a
rung on which to rest the feet tc
change one's position.
A small, simple old rocking chair
in the kitchen will save many a break
down. Drop into it while doing va
rious things and relax when possible.
Keep a card index of recipes in the
kitchen in a convenient place to uae
in planning the meals.
A Great Record.
Gen. John Brown Kerr, who was
oorn in Kentucky seventy-two years
Ago, was the hero of what the late
General Miles declared to be the most
daring exploit in the history ,f Indian
warfare. In 1S91 Kerr, at the head of
a brave band of 20 men, found him
self surrounded by more than 100
South Dakota Sioux Indians. Out
numbered five to one, Kerr and his
men fought so valiantly and handled
their guns with such effect that many
of the braves were killed and the r
nainder surrendered.
