The long hatiiin is regarded with esteem, not only as a valuable Imple ment, of the toilet, but also us an in strument of defense, and well is that young woman armed who lias the courage to use it when attacked. This was shown in New Jersey recently when n Millville girl was seized by u highwayman. She put lit ill to igno minious (light by jabbing the weapon into him with such effect that he was glad to act invay. Highwaymen have reason to fear the hatpin, but peaeiable law-abiding citizens also stand In danger of being punctured by the sharp points. One of New York's dangers In ;hU era of iiid-nted cliapiatix. perched on the top of musses of ringlets and puffs, is the murderous weapon projecting out the side of the fall lial. Men riding in the slreet cars stand la constant dread of losing their eyesight, because of the business point of ihe hatpin thus menacing them. Th altitude of a woman's hat Is normally on the level of a man's eyes, and when the car aisles are packed poor man is power less to dodge the points of hatpins, which stick out in all directions, lu rounding sharp curves when there Is tnie-h swaying among the strap hang ers, a man faces blindness or a terri ble gouge in the cheek front the ex posed point of Hie hatpin. It is sug gested that corks lie worn on the sharp points to save injury to the pub He. They might be made very orna mental, and as a safely device would be welcomed. Woiiihii Willi Kulmal .lot.

It 'is wise to purchase these articles rather large. Rlnce it costs no more to wash u huge article than a small one, nnd they tin not wear out so rapidly. Posters, after they become too shabby for general purposes, should be used as polishers for the stove, or for lump wipers. Nothing in this line should lie thrown away until It Is ab solutely useless.

In our cottage the bedrooms are small, consequently the closets im mure like wardrobes, ns to niy.e, than anything else, being only three feet wide by eighteen inches deep; therefore we are ciamped for room in which to bang the wearing apparel, or to store the many odds and ends thai apper tain to every household, great or small.
