The Latest Turban The somewhat severe linos of the lafest smart Panama turban are re lieved in the application of small Banksia roses with quillings of velvet cibbons and festooned loops and ends of the same. The crown Is low and round, and the wide brim Is pinched up into the turban shape all around, a smart point coming exactly In the ftont. Each dent Is separately and dif ferently trimmed, the greater part of the trimming being posed Just at the feft of the front, where a stiff-looking rosette Is made with a flower centre and a velvet ribbon quilling for the lge. This is joined to the next one Howard the back by loops of ribbon, and the other side Is simply trimmed with little bunches of the roses tucked Into the folds. The back is built up somewhat by a bandeau, and this, too, la trimmed with flowers and velvet xibbon. Rochester Post-Express. " tc " "White Serge Very Smart.

Pointers as to Gloves. "Don't buy a glove that Is too small," advised a woman buyer In one of the Ux department stores. "It not only cramps the hand, but it prevents grace of motion and gives poor service. "Not one-half the women who come ffa here know what points to watch out for In buying gloves. I try to Instruct my girls to Inform customers, but a woman must be ripe for the knowledge through personal experience or the ad vtne will not be appreciated. "Black gloves are generally less elas tic than light colors. Dressed kid sgloves usually retain their freshness longer and are more durable than anede. Short-fingered gloves give the hud a malformed look, and they soon break out at the tips or between the angers. "Putting on a glove for the first time has more to do with the fit and wear than almost anything else. Take time to fit them and, If possible, wear them a good half hour before closing the fingers. Button the last buttons first, for the greatest strain naturally nmea on the first." Indianapolis News. Chicago Women's Athletic Club.

To be truly the "angel of the house," woman must resolutely keep, and oft times use, the wings that raise her above the hou.se and all the things la it. Bishop Henry C. Potter. Neatness. Freshness and neatness are imparted to the working girl's garb by the use of a livery, and this Is the reason for the existence of the livery. Cap and apron and neatly fitted suit of gingham or black is no more a badge of servitude than is the police man's uniform, the soldier's military trappings, or the trained nurse's striped frock and trim cap. These take pride In their liveries and so well may the housemaid. When the maid Is at work she should be dressed in a manner suitable to her employment. In the morning, when she Is to be busy with her housework In and out of the kitchen, handling her broom and dust cloth, her dress should be a neat print. In houses where the mistress provides the working frocks of the maids, as Is sometimes done, she can have these frcoks made all of one piece, but In the majority of homes where but one or two maids are kept they dress themselves. Under these circumstances they can not be expected to conform to any spe cial style or color and probably will wear shirt waists and skirts. It Is a pity If the skirts are dark woolen goods, because these gather dust and retain the odors of cookery, but a large apron will protect the skirt and wash ing Is saved to the maid If her whole gown Is not of light material. She Is wise if she wears a large sweeping cap In the morning when she Is busy at work that Is likely to make dust, but this can be exchanged for a smaller cap when the rougher part of her labor are out of the way. For the afternoon, when It Is prac ticable, the maid should wear a black frock with white collar and cuffs and a white bib apron. The apron may be a little more elaborately trimmed than the morning apron. In fact, for the morning, a simple, plain, large apron without bib is all that Is needed. This applies to the maid of all work as well as to the waitress and parlor maid, but when one maid has to do the cooking or the dinner before she serves It, It Is almost too much to expect her to be In her black suit all afternoon. She may look neat In her gingham waist and skirt, and then when she gets everything in order for the dinner she may slip away In her room for a min ute and get into the black waist. The waitress who has no kitchen work Is usually expected to have on her black waist soon after luncheon so as to be ready to answer the door bell properly dressed. The strictly cor rect custom demands that she should be In black before luncheon is served but the rule Is not followed In the average household. From the Wash' ington Times. Fashion Notes. American Beauties and roses In the faded shades are the favorites. The ereens are prominent both In millinery and frocks and many new shades are shown. For a senarate skirt In dark blue or white serge or mohair the sun plaited model Is particularly good. An attractive gown In pale yellow mousseline de sole was made with side plaited waist, while the skirt was sun plaited. An esnedallv chic model hat shown by a celebrated milliner was a roll brim sailor tilted forward, as are all such sailors this year. The hats are eccentric. One must ad mit that, but the eccentricity lies in the combination of head and hat, rather than the hat itseir. fm needs masses of fluffy hair, a charming face and youth to wear the new hats well, and unluckily that com bination is not so common as one could wish. Every style of costume from shirt waist dress to ballroom gown may be accordion or side plaited, and In every material from chiffon to cloth Is it attractive. Walking hats of fine straw, trimmed In broad scarfs of plaited straw, sup ple as ribbon, and combining many lovely shades, are among the French hats, and are distinctly, practical as well as pretty. If, In many instances, there Is Intri cate elaboration of detail, that detail is at least made to hlend into a har monious whole and only upon close scrutiny is the complex nature of the scheme evident The small turbans are worn also for dressy hats. A dainty model was made of white mallne covered with tiny orchids in pink and mature. A small white ostridh feather and a whits aigrette trimmed one aid. Lamps and Candles. Candlesticks and lamps made of elasa after the old models are very welcome after the long period we had to endure the china and gilt banquet lamp with ballet girl skirt shade. When fitted with empire shades to mntph the color scheme of a room they look extremely well. The glasi candlesticks are especially good ror tahle proration and when surmount ed by a colored shade make a table very attractive. Utica Observer. Furniture and Upholstery. Where cloth-lined carriages and up. holstered furniture are to be left for the summer, brush well, especially about the tufted portions, then spray generouslv with nanhtha or benzine, using, if you like, a small sprinkler such ns is used for house plants. Neither naphtha nor benzine will spot the most delicate fabrics, and the odor will pass In a few hours. Of course, every one should understand that no light, even from pipe or cigar, should be allowed while this work is going on, as the vapor from these fluids is exceedingly Inflammable. For car riages it Is well to repeat the spray ing again In August. After furniture has been well sprayed, wrap the legs with soft paper and old muslin and cover the upholstered portions with tar paper, then old muslin which has pieces of camphor gum tied In at In tervals. Newark Advertiser. Laundry Notes. Never put table linen that Is fruit-' stained Into hot soapsuds. This sets and Axes the stain. ' Embroidered linens should not be washed in tin or wooden tubs. All risk of rust or stain may be avoided by using an earthen bowl. Flat iron holders, If lined with a layer of old, soft leather, like the top of a boot, will -protect your hand from heat far better than If made In the or. dinary way. Wooden laundry tubs should be washed out and dried. If they are kept In a very dry place, they should be turned upside down and the bot toms covered with a little water. To prevent blue spotting the clothes put some out on a piece of white cloth, gather up the corners and tie together. Dip this bag In the water and squeeze it until the water Is blue enough. In this way the clothes will never be come spotted. The Modern Kitchen. The kitchen must be well ventilated, lighted and fitted with perfect cooking apparatus, whether coal, gas, or elec tricity. Proper plumbing and drainage are Important, both for health and con venience sake, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. A wainscoting of tile, with wall above painted a dull blue or gray. Is the most durable and easily cared for finish for the kitchen, and also the cheapest In the end, as It seldom re quires renovation other than that of washing down. An expensive and invaluable ap pointment Is the "hot metal table," which Is constructed In a manner to be heated by pipes which are laid back and forth under Its bed and in connection with the range boiler, the water turned off and on at pleasure. Different sizes render this table avail able In kitchens of various sizes. The kitchen should be without odors, by virtue of a range hood which gathers them. Recipes.

When Prince was told by his mis tress that he was to have a little sister he did not like It and turned up his nose more than a good little pug dog should. "I never did like cats," he said to himself, and ran off to bark at a big black one on the fence. Then he slowly caime back and sniffed at the soft little ball of maltese fur that lay on the doorstep. Prince was like many little boys and girls. He had been spoiled. When his first master brought him to his present home he was so thin that you could see his ribs through his skin, and there was an ugly bare spot where a woman had thrown hot water on him and It had taken his hair off. His paws were sore, and no wonder, for he had walked and trotted beside his master's wagon two thousand miles, as far as half way across the great Atlantic ocean. For whole days he had to live at times on a few scraps of bread, and had to lap up water from some ditch by the road side. Many a day as he trotted along the dusty road his tongue was so dry that It hung out of his mouth. But his new mistress liked dogs, and Prince had nice bits of beef to eat and milk to drink and bread with butter and sugar on It, for his dessert. He had a little red blanket to sleep on, and lay on this In his mistress's bed room on cold nights when other dogs had to shiver on piles of straw In sheds or out of doors. Soon he grew smooth and fat. The hair came over the ugly patch on his skin and he looked like the high-born pug that he was. Prince was a good dog. He only ran away once or twice, and when his mis tress told him how wrong It was, he put his paws on her lap and asked her pardon. Then she told him about the wicked men who caug.. -tie dogs who ran away, and put them In a wire cage In a big wagon and took them to a place where they were all drowned. After that Prince might go to the fron,t door and look out, but he would not go Into the streets alone. When Kit came to be his little sister, Prince thought that she would eat his nice things, and that made him sniff at her and then run off with his bones and bury them. After a little while he saw that Marie, the maid, gave him just ns much as ever for his dinner and that he had as many goodies as before Kit came. Then he let her He down on the edge of his blanket and did not growl when she crawled up to where he was eating. He felt he had been selfish, so when Marie asked them both to come and eat one day. Prince let Kit stay beside him, and even In vited her to jump up on her hind legs and brace against him, so that she would have as good a chance a3 he at the goodies In Marie's hand. Another time he very politely waited and gave Kit the first chance while he stood off and watched her jump for the tidbits. Good dogs, like good boys and girls, always get their reward. Did you ever let a cat lick you with her tongue? It Is rough and feels like a brush. Well, dogs like to be brushed and rubbed. Kit must have known this, for when evening came and the two stopped playing, she would lie down beside him. and lick his face and back and paws just as an old cat washes her kittens. Prince was part bulldog and was fond of holding on. He would set his teeth In a piece of wood and you could drag him all around before he would let go. But It was all in play. He never bit anybody, no matter how much he was teased. Prince and Kit are both growing old now, and do not play as much as they did, but they are as happy together as if they were real brother and sister, and show how nicely a well-bred dg and cat can get on with each other. New York Tribune. Geography Day With Mother. Polly and Carrie were very happy. Mother had decided that they were to have lessons at home during the win ter. They liked mother's lesson playy To-day was geography day. , Polly had the pretty globe that mother let her buy with her birthday dollar, and Carrie had the lovely book, "Great Cities of the World," that Uncle Will had given her. Mother was allowing them to use her folding sew ing table, and this always pleased the little girls. On mother's table was a pile of prettily mounted magazine pictures. Polly and Carrie had never seen any of this set before, so they were full eagerness. "What is the first city described your book, Carrie?" asked mother. "London," replied Carrie. "Yes, because it's the very large city in the world. Polly, can you fin It on the globe?" "I don't think I can," said Polly, "Well, dear, you can find Boston an New York. Put the crochet needl point on New York, Carrie may I00H too, then gi across the Atlantic oceaJ to the British Isles. You will fin London, now, If you look carefully. "Oh, I see It, I see It!" exclaimei Carrie. "Now we will visit London for little time. What buildings are show! In your book, Carrie? You may bot look at them." There were fine pictures of the gred Tower of London, Westminster Abbe, and the Interior of St. Paul's Cathedra "Of course," said mother, "as we an to travel about a good deal to-day, wj cannot stay long In one city. We wll take a picture-trip about. Then whe, we come back to stay longer, at ai other lesson, we will see how much w1 can recall. Here Is a picture of Win sor Castle, where the King of Englan lives, and here Is a different one t the Tower. You have the picture the 'Princes In the Tower,' and can te the story, I think." "Oh, yes," seJd Polly. And Carr said she thought she could 'I will ask you to tell It by and b; Here Is a picture of the 'Poets' Cornei In Westminster Abbey. Then mother talked about the gres poets, Milton, Shakespeare and other whose tombs In this great church arl visited by so many travellers.

"The next city Is Paris," reportei uarrie, turning tne lear or ner noon "Aunt Lucy has been there, and to' us ever so many things about it, an there's a whole book of views th. Eiffel Tower, the Notre Dame, the ca cade In the lovely Bois de Boulogn and a good many more," volunteere Polly, eagerly. "You seem to know so much abo' Paris," laughed mother, "that I thir we'll have a Paris day to-morro Bring all you can find about It to t lesson." "There'll be that French book Bible stories with pictures," said Pol "Vnn pan rear! the stories. moLUi Aunt Lucy said the little French gil O read them just as easily as we re! our English ones." "You will be able to read them sori day. I hone, lust as they are. Nd can you go to Paris from London?" With a little help the children coul make the short trln on the globe. New York came next in Carrll book, but as the children's aunt llv In New York, and they had visltei so many plages In and around tha mother said they would go on next city, which Carrie found w. very populous Chinese city of They found there was a long to take before they could rea city.

Now we mustn't get too tired, so I think we'll close this lesson." "Oh, please, mother, let's go to just one more city!" pleaded Carrie. "If we do, I shall not have time for the game," said mother, quietly. "Oh, we must have that!" decided the civ-uren. So mother passed them some little cards with numbers on them, and they found the pictures that had numbers to correspond. Then they told all they could remember of what they had lea,rned about their pictures, and for every good story a gilt star was pasted on their lesson-card. Sometimes an extra good story won two stars. Annie Stevens Perkins in Youths' Companion. Milk for Rattlesnake Bites.
