Child (in hitch, shrill treble) Mamma, did you get pupu's birthday present V "Yes, dearest." "What did you get, mamma?" "Cigars, lovey." "The cheap ones that Aunt Millie told you about Y" Silence from mamma, but a heightened flush on her face that was not entirely the reflection from "dearest lovey's" red velvet hat. "Mamma, that man over there has on a dreadfully dirty necktie. You told papa the other day that no gentleman would wear a soiled necktie." Man glares and pulls his overcoat ahout liis neck. "Mildred, stop talking!" Mildred was silent for half a block. "Mamma, that lady over there forgot to polish her shoes this morning." Lady in haiid«oine tailor made broadcloth draws her unmistakably badly clad feet under her dre«s with a look of anger at the golden haired child. "Mamma, let me have some of my can dy," trigging at the box in her mother's hands. "Mildred, do keep still. It is not good manners to eat on a street car." '"Mamma, those young ladies have aw ful bad manners, haven't they?" And mamma looked up to see that two hand somely attired daughters of a woman wUuuisheliail been dying to be on intimate terms with were sitting in the far end of the car sampling a box of bonbons and who cut her dead as they looked into her eyes. "Mildred, I will certainly spank yon good when I get yon home if you don't sit down and quit talking," in suppres d whisper from the enraged mamma. Then Mildred turned her attention to outside things, dusting the pretty dove colored cloth gown of the lady next to her as she squirmed upon the seat. "Oh, mamma!" with a tug at her moth er's shoulder. "Look quick! Isn't that the young man who lives next door to us that you told Aunt Mildred had such •soulful' eyes?" Mamma's reply was not audible, but her actions were. The car stopped just then, and she yanked "deare>t lovey" by the arm and lifted her into the street in a way that presaged "disturbed condi tions" in the atmosphere of that house hold, with "somo dampness."—Washing ton Star. Japan'* IniprfKnnliilltf. The coast of Japan, notwithstanding Its long shore line and numerous har bors, offers scant allurement to an in vading army. There is very little beach. The bold crags and bluffs over looking every spot where a modern war vessel can ride at anchor are pro tected by strong fortifications defended by the most modern guns. Yeddo bay. the most feasible bight for invading purposes, needs careful navigation even by steamers of moder ate draft. When torpedoes are planted. It 1a simply impregnable, says a writer In Collier's Weekly. When the war with China broke out, a small steamer was selected to pilot merchant steam ers up and down the bay. I remember perfectly the unexpected curves made by this steamer, showing plainly the countless dangers besetting a hostile fleet regardless of the care that may be used In feeling its way. No invad ing army could possibly land, and even If it succeeded in doing so the rice fields, readily submerged as they are, would aid materially in thwarting the advance and in isolating the enemy. A successful invasion of Japan is simply Impossible. Translator*' Stnmhlinß HlorU*. Some amusing instances of trans lators' misunderstandings are mention ed by the London Daily News. An Italian paper not long ago turned Mr. Budyard Kipling's "Absentminded Beg gar" into a "Distracted Mendicant." A footnote to the same version explain ed "son of a Lambeth publican" as a reference to Mr. Kruger! The trans- \ lator who explains is often lost. Another Italian editor who translat ed a passage from an English paper about a man who had killed his wife with a poker added an ingenuous foot note to say, "We do not know with cer tainty whether this thing 'pokero' be a domestic or surgical Instrument." In the French version of one of Scott's novels a Welsh rabbit has to be dealt with. The translator, never hav ing met with that article of food, nat urally turned it into "un la pin de Galles." Unfortunately he had some doubt whether his countrymen would understand this and added a lengthy footnote describing how the peculiarly delicious flavor of the rabbits of Wales created a large demand for them in Scotland, whither they were exported In bulk that would compare with the trade of Osteqd.

Bailey of Des Moines as their chief. This lively bit of elec tioneering occurred at the biennial con vention of the lowa Federation of Wo men's Clubs at Council Bluffs, where, though opposed by most of the dele gates from her own city, she won with a flattering majority of votes. The op position was not personal, however, but was due to the fact that Mrs. Bai ley is the president elect of the big Des Moines Woman's club, and her promotion to the highest position in the state would Interfere, so said the Des Moines clul> women pointedly, with her official duties at home. Now that Mrs. Bailey has the coveted po litical plum it is expected that she will resign as president of the Des Moines Woman's club. Mrs. Bailey is an admirable type of club woman, politic and progressive. Associated with the lowa federation MBS. ALICE A. C. BAILEY. since its inception, first as recording secretary and then as corresponding secretary, she is qualified to hold the official reins for two years. Aside from work in the Des Moines Woman's club she Is connected with the D. A. R. and a conversation club In her own city. She is also known to club wo men outside the state and as an active alumna of the University of Wiscon sin. There is one splendid thing Mrs. Bailey proposes to do as president, and that is develop the rural club Idea. There is the Harrisburg Literary club, near Bonaparte, la., for instance, made up of 20 farmers' wives, many of whom drive miles every two weeks to hear a literary programme In some centrally located farmhouse. It is not the city club woman who needs the In spiration of club life so much as the isolated country woman, so contends Mrs. Bailey, and it Is hoped to make the"club for country women" numer ous in lowa. The Way to Iron Shirt*. For ironing fold the skirt straight down the middle of the back and Iron the body smooth, taking care to move the Iron mainly straight with the wrap. Next fold a sleeve flat along the sloped seam and Iron it upon both sides. Iron tlrst through the middle, then take hold of the wristband or shoulder with the left hand and hold taut till the Iron goes quite to the Joint. Open the wrist band, lay it Hat and Iron hard upon the wrong side, then turn upon the right side. Then comes the tug of war, other wise, ironing the bosom. First fasten the neckband properly. Next slip the bosom board inside the shirt and spread the bosom smooth upon It, pressing it out simultaneously with both hands. With a thin, clean cloth wet the whole linen surface light ly with weak, raw starch. Bub It In very well, and if any place feels sticky wipe It off with a cloth dipped In tepid water. Have the iron hot enough to yellow dry cloth if left to stand on it ten minutes. Begin at the bottom of the bosom and iron straight toward the neck, up the middle, holding the neckband in the left hand and pulling hard against the Iron. Here as much depends on the left hand as the right. The knack lies mainly in knowing how to pull properly. If the bosom wrinkles or forms one of the warps known to laundresses as "cat faces," wet the place with cleat water, stretch it smooth and Iron over again, Rub the iron over the white wax, also in the salt tray, to insure a perfectly smooth surface. If the starch is right—properly made and applied—it will not stick to the face. But if a yel lowy crust forms upon the iron tip scratch It off with a blunt knife and be sure to wax and salt polish the iron again before settling It on the shirt. When the whole bosom is smooth and nearly dry, take one of the polish ing irons, not quite so hot as the oth ers, rub the face of it with either pol ishing wax or white soap and press the bosom hard all over, bearing hardest upon the rounded iron point. Iron and polish cuffs on a flannel covered board. Wet them also with raw starch or, more properly, starch water. Press first upon the wrong side with a very hot iron and turn upon the fight side only when nearly dry. A Few I'otnt* on Fin*. The pins for the hair have a patent catch with blunt ends that do not tear l the hair. The long pins for the back of belt and collar are very flat and quite mar quise, if they are strictly fashionable, but there are some women of good taste who deviate from this and wear .'he long Frencn bugles of gold that are ijulte thin and artistic.

It is that of the hand paint ed Spanish lace applique, which is to be used so extensively this year upon yokes and flounces and upon skirts If enough of It can be obtained. Down in the old treasure chests there are un doubtedly yards and yards of Spanish lace, says the Montreal Star. This, If brought out, will be found to contain some lovely roses and leaves and other floral designs. Women of taste are painting these in their natural colors, choosing pink designs and coloring the Spanish lace roses until they are In ex quisite bloom. The roses are then cut out and are appliqued upon the yokes of satin waists or upon skirts as side panels, or are used for hip treatment. Flounces of net lace are appliqued with these Spanish lace flowers with most delightful results. re American.
