DOQ'S PERTINACITY. business-Cards. (TjaterestDirw To Whiten Linen Lces and linens which have become yellow with age or grratly soiled can be whitened by folding them careful ly and placing them In the sun to soak In a strong solution of borax and water, says The Philadelphia Inquirer. As the water is alinorbed or clouded, add fresh water, and, If the water be vcomos quite cloudy from the loosened dirt, pour In a new solution of borax and water. Turn the lace or linen at least once while It is whitening. In the warm weather the yellow Is easily removed, though the soaUIng may con tinue two of three days and nights without Injuring the most delicate fabrics. Care should be taken, how ever, in removing the lace, when once It is clean. It should be taken out, folded, not squeezed, but unfolded carefully on folded towels, pinned out neatly and left In tho sun to dry. If the laco sticks to tho bowl let it soak off; don't try to pull It away. Dainty Muslins. Out of the very pretty muslins a very dainty and becoming frock may be fashioned for a young girl. The skirt may bo cut Into two a gored top. Have the bottom finish of the flounce three-Inch wide tucks, Cilve the same finish to the bottom of the top section. It will hide the sewing on of the flounce. Gather in three rows the top fullness of the skirt, be ginning at a short distance from the middle. Have the bodice full back and front into a narrow square. Fill in with a white Swiss chemisette, criss-crossed over with lace beading, run through wide ribbon matching the figure of the tmiBlin. Have full elbow sleeves, with a ruffle to match, trim ming with three rows of ribbon bead ing. On tho edge of tho ruffle sew a two-Inch Valenciennes lace with a Blight fullness. Belt the waist with ft ribbon to match in color, and make ' hair bow of the same. The result will be charming- and In expensively achieved. To Keep Gloves and Veils. The best place to keep gloves and tells Is ft shallow drawer devoted en tirely to those articles, and fitted with sachets. Inexpensive sachets may be made of fine cheesecloth or figured silkoline and the powder sprinkled between two layers of cotton. Sandal wood the pure ground wood that may be purchased at a Japanese storeIs one of the most lasting. Two such sheets may be made, each the size of the drawer and each hav ing strips of narrow ribbon going across from side to side, caught at In tervals to the sachet. Under these ribbons the veils and gloves may be slipped and hold gently but firmly in place. ' TtiA lr.u'ev eantiar aliniiM ha uaarl frir the veils and cloves used compara tively seldom, and the upper sachet pvntoil rn wnllanff nnrl lrlvlnir cloves and beavv chiffon veils. Of course. If the drawer Is deep, any number of shallow sachets may bo made, and one for stocks and ties is useful in keeping them from being mussed. Indianapolis News. When Weary. When we are kept awake from our fatigue, the first thing to do is to aay over to ourselves that we do not ""care whether we sleep or not, in ordor to Imbue ourselves with a healthy In difference about it. It will help tow ard gaining this wholesome indiffer ence to say: "I am too tired to sleep, and, therefore, the first thing for me to do is to get rested in order to pre pare for sleep. When my brain is well rested It will go to sleep; it can not help it. When it Is well rested It will sleep just as naturally as my lungs breathe, or as my heart beats," Another thing to remember, and it is very Important is that an over-tired . brain needs more than the usual nour ishment. If you have been-awake for an hour, and it is' three hours after your last meal, take half a cup or a cup of milk. If you, are awake for another two hours, take half a cup - more, and so, at Intervals of about 1 ' two hours, so long as you are awake throughout the night. Hot milk is nourishing and ft sedative. It 1b not Inennvenlent to have milk by the side of one's bed and a UUlu saucepan and a nnlrit lamn. An Unconscious Courtesy. tho eninvahle "Jov of Living:" na- lie Hamilton French, in the September 11 U 111 U d , 1VI1WD U llll'M u. I w lt tnjn - - alon in childhood, and speaking of the necessity of Implanting precepts , of courtesy and hospitality while the child is young, gives this apt and miioini (UiiRtration: "There Is an old storv told of a lady of rank who mar- in htm into the semblance of a gen- (Jlan, and his appearance In ths wing-room was not bad. He be ed, well, and with propriety ex .lion he heard a bell ring! Then I be wtirted. To Jump when bells were rung had been a second nature with him as ft footman. It is always the training in early and impressionable years that makes the second nature of the mature. The full-grown man or woman can, of course, begin ft self training, as this lady of rank began a training of her husband. The task Is more difficult. Even tha cells of the brain got into ways of responding to certain Impressions, nn.d although a thought held to will transform the very nature of man, there ought to be no need of a transformation In our manners. They should be formed in the early, plant, receptive days of childhood." A Woman's Influence Over Man. The woman who talks most about a woman's influence generally doesn't have any Influence. The kind that counts works silently. It Is not herald ed with trumpets nor clapped with ap plause. For this reason a woman 19 a little shy of even considering such a sub ject as her influence over men. So far from boasting of it. even in her thought, she will barely asknowledge it to herself. That is all right just the way a nice, modest woman should feel about It. Nevertheless, there can be no harm In asserting the fact Just among women, though that a woman can influence a man very potently, if Bhe goes about it In the right way. For the right woman man will do almost anything. He has been doing it for centuries, long before the time when Solomon fell to worshipping the gods of his wives, and when Herod sacrificed John the Baptist to his pret ty niece. He has been known to climb from the lowest depths to a high call ing under a 'woman's Influence, and he has been dashed from high places to the darkest depths by reason of that same mysterious magic. It must please any woman to hear the story of Owen Klldare, a Bowery tough, who at 30 could neither read nor write and was proud of his slum reputation as the toughest of sluggers. Now at 40 he Is writing for magazines and working to better the condition of just such people as those from whose ranks he was lifted. And how was he lifted? A woman's voice called him. A woman came Into his life of utter degradation. She gave the best Bhe could to aid bim. She led; he fol lowed. For years he was pupil and she was teacher. And then she died, and It was then that her Influence was most powerful. Realizing what she had done for him, he set himself to follow the windings of the path she had outlined. The path led to reform, manliness, strength and usefulness. Only 10 years between his ignorant, dissipated life and the bright, promis ing life of an author and philanthropic cal worker. Scoff as the unsentimental may, all this was accomplished by a noble woman's Influence. It ought to make ft woman mighty proud and at the same time mighty humble to have a responsibility like that in her hands. Her words, her glances, her smiles, her actions, her beauty, her whole character, can work for a man's help or for his harm. She needn't speak of it, nor think much about it. Yet silently and in a larse, sweet way her Influence is work ing. Philadelphia Bulletin. Fashion Notes. Wooltex skirt and coat suits are the first fall costumes.

Place the engraving on a smooth, deal board, and cover thinly with com mon salt, which has been finely crush ed; squeeze lemen Juice on t the salt till It is dissolved. Raise the board at ono end, and pour boiling water on to the engraving till the snlt and lemon are washed off. The engraving- will then appear quite clean and free from stains. Leave It on the board till perfectly dry. Picnic Icebox. In planning a picnic, which the wise and patient mother Is usually do ing at thM time of the year, It is better to select some locality where fresh dairy products can be secured. If this is not possible, try the follow ing: Get a large granite-ware pail with tight-fitting cover; put a layer of heavy brown paper cut to fit, around the side and in the bottom. Place ft small square of old blanket on this and a lump of ice. Have the milk and cream and butter in a neat, lit tle halt pint Jar securely sealed; put these on the Ice, wrap the blanket tightly around, andidd several thick nesses of heavy paper before putting the lid on. If a paper receptacle can be managed to fit the outside of the pail you will find the Ice unmelted, Bnd everything cold when unpacked. Extcrmlnating'Moths. The most effectual method of ren dering a house moth-proof Is thorough spring and fall cleaning. Two of the arch-enemies of moths are cleanliness and light." Attics and Btorage-rooms require light and ventilation. The cedar chest or closet ranks first as ft preventive. Moth balls are efficacious, but one' prefers the moth almost. Furs, especially fascinate moths. The pre liminary step is a thorough combing with a dressing comb; next beat well, and air in the sunshine; next sprinkle with gum camphor, cedar dust or to bacco leaves. Place the furs In paper sacks turn the edges over, and paste down with a strip of muslin. Printers' Ink la obnoxious to moths. Balls of cotton wadding saturated in oil of cedar are effectual in trunks. Remem ber, this oil stains. Carpets, If infest ed, must come up, be beaten and clean ed. Wash the floor with benzine, then sprinkle with cayenne pepper. Tack down the carpet, and sponge with a solution of one quart of waier to one tablespoonful of turpentine, changing the water frequently. A preventive is to press every inch of the edge of the carpet, first dampening, then pressing with a hot iron. I .ay a damp towel on the carpet, over this a paper to re tain the steam, then iron. Steam de stroys. Woman's Home Companion. Porch Teas. Five o'clock tea is an Important feature of porch life, and some of the new porch furniture is designed es pecially for this purpose. Few people nowadays make tea before their guests, preferring to have it brought in on a tray, says the New York Tel egram. Wooden trays with brass handles are excellent, and so are those old fashioned ones of jappanned tin paint ed in impossible roses. Tho tea service should not be too dainty, and gayly flowered china Is es pecially adapted for this use. It goes well with cotton prints and the like and if a cup and saucer, or by chance' a half-dozen, fall to tho floor it would not be a family calami ty. A table is needed for extra cups and saucers, for biscuits and tea cakes. - Another useful piece is the muffin tray. While this is really a breakfast property, it can be made a useful ad junct to tho porch tea table. It sug gests muffins and scones and other things that combine so well with the steaming tea pot. On very warm days Iced tea should be substituted for the hot beverage. Garden flowers should be used in profusion on a porch, bowls, jugs and old coppers being most artistic for them. Recipes. Iced Cocoa Tills Is as delicious and apt to bo as generally relished as either iced tea or coffee. Do not make it too rich, but uso rather moro water than milk and sweeten while yet hot, stirring briskly, that the sugar may be thoroughly dissolved. If it Is to be served at a dinner or luncheon Beloct a day when only white inoats are on the menu. Tomato Baskets Those require sound, ripe tomatoes, as near In size as possible Wash and dry well, but do not peel. Slice off top, and scoop out contents with a silver spoon. Mix it well with bread crumbs, seasoned with grated onion, chopped calory and olives, fried up with an egg or two. Put enough of this in each "basket" to fill it, and parboil. Place them about a roast of veal or lamb for gar niture, and serve with the meat gravy. Rice Meringue This is a dish that may be varied In several ways. Cook one-quarter of a pound of rice in new milk till it swells, then flavor nicely with vanilla, and stir In the yolks of two eggs. Line a pie dish with this mixture, and then place a layer of stewed fruit on it; whisk the whites of tho eggs to a froth to make a mer ingue on the top. Bake in the oven till colored. Instead of using fruit or jam, the Juice of a lemon may be stir, rad Into the rice, with sugar to taste. New York City.

When liked, the lining can be cut away bencuth the yoke, giving a trans parent effect, and many combinations in material might be suggested. The bertha is an exceptionally graceful one, and the fact that the closing Is made luvlslbly at the front commends the entire waist to the greater number of womnnklud. The waist consists of the lilted lin ing, full fronts and back with the drop yoke and the bertha. The sleeves are wide and full, gulhered into cuffs that are shaped in harmony with the yoke.

Nearly Killed Himself In His Efforts to Regain Parcels. Nero, ft large Newfoundland- dog owned by ft rosldent of Dover, was so heartbroken recently over his caroless fiess In dropping Into the canal ft lun cheon that he was carrying that he nearly killed himself In his efforts to regain the parcels, and refused to come out of the water till they were fished up. Nero started from his master's home for bis shop with a lunch pall and some coffee In a glass bottle having a handle by which It could be carried. He suddenly seemed to remember that he could shorten the trip by ft quarter of a mile by going across lots and over the footbridge of the canal. The bridge is narrow plank, and In cross ing it Nero had to be watchful of his steps that he forgot to keep his Jaws tightly shut on the coffee buttle, and it dropped Into the water. Forgetting that he had the lunch pall in his mouth, Nero Jumped In after the coffee and thus lost both burdens. Then he began to plunge and swim nrottnd frantically in the canal. The accident bad been seen by two boys, and after they had watched the dog swim around for half an hour they went to the shop and told the owner about It The latter hurried over and found the dog smlmmlng about, plung ing here and there, endeavoring to get the lost luncheon. He called the dog to come out of the water but Nero would not leave the canal. All efforts to get him to the shore were fruitless. Tho dog was becoming exhausted, but still he swam around, yelping piteous ly, grieved and nearly heartbroken at having met with the accident. The owner saw that the only way to get the dog out of the water would be to fish up the lost luncheon. After about flrteen minutes' fishing tho din ner pall was pulled out, and after that the coffee bottle. Nero then con sented to come out of the water, but was so weak that he could not crawl out and had to be hauled up on land. The dog had been swimming about for over an hour. Boston Transcript. From London. An American was showing an Eng lish friend around the capital. "Our government Is very econom ical," said he; "When we have an extra thick fog, they suck it into a big cistern and convert it into paint for the warships and buildings." "Really." said the Britisher. "Tak ing about fogs reminds me that my brother invented a machine for com pressing l.ondan fog Into bricks, and one thick November day he turned out enough material to build a cofTntry house." "Yes, ho did. He moved Into his new home the next April, and was a happy man for two weeks, until one morning ho found himself, also his family, lying out on the cold, damp ground, in company with some bits cf furniture and miscellaneous Joinery. The house had gone, but it was the thickest morning ever seen in those parts. Of course you can guess what had happened. In the night those fog bricks had somehow gone Into their original element." "Wall!" drawled the Yankee, "I reckon yer rel'tlve ought to have glazed them bricks." Tit-Bits. One Use For It. George Ade at a recent banquet was asked to Speak on success. "I sup pose thut fullure Is more familiar than success to all of us," he said. "We work away. Four things fall. The fifth thing succeeds. The hard est workers have the most failures, but then they have the most successes, too. "One of my early failures was a melodrmaa that I traveled all tho way from Chicago to New York to soli to ft manager. This was In my youth, when I had confidence In myself. The manager returned my melodrama. lie Bald he didn't care for it. "I pointed out the merits In It which he had overlooked. I proved that he would make a great mistake if he should not accept this work. But he shook his head. "'Can't you use it at all?" I asked, desperately. '"Well," said he. 'I might grind it up and use it for a snow-storm.' " Hopeless. The newly married man looked at the old bachelor, and there was a sad ness in his eyes. "George," he said, "you are living a wasted life. You are all wrong, old fellow. But it isn't too late; sjitiu woman may yet be found who will love you, and be willing to take your name. By Jove, old bey, come home with me tonight and I'll introduce you to the sweetest young woman you ever met. She's my wife's sister, the d-.-ar-cst and gentlest girl. Why, they still call her the pet name of her babyhood, 'Lamb.' " The old bachelor moistened his Hps and his eyes brightened. "I like the lamb," he said, "mors especially .with mint same." And then the newly married man knew It was useless to wa-sto any fur ther words on the confirmed old celi bate. Cleveland Plain liealer. Peers' Horseshoes for Castle Wall.
