"This was strong confirmation indeed
of the secretary's suspicion. ,On the
nineteenth tho woman had loft Paris

to be only slightly unwell, although
he declared her to be dying, and when
she arrived in London next day she
was so ill that she had to be carried

RECORD OF A LIFE.
ieccr Ouc by Saving a Piore or Every
DI-CMM You Get.
It often needs only a few interven
ing' years to change our most common
place surroundings into the most ro
mantic; often in but a few years we
learn t'o cherish anything which recalls
to us old associations. I am certain
; that to a friend of mine no work of fic
: tion could ever suggest so much gen
uine comedy and tragedy as a unique
little album which she showed to me
recently. The book itself was a very
ordinary one, of the sort generally
| used for receiving clippings, but the
; pages, instead of containing bits of
i fugitive verse, stamps or signatures,
were filled with an odd collection of
dry goods. In the upper left-hand
corner of each page was fastened a
fragment of dress material; opposite it
a clever pen and ink sketch of the
completed garment had been drawn,
and below was given a written biog
raphy of the same, containing all sorts
of interesting items in regard to it;
its price, its date of purchase and the
occasion of its first appearance. The
owner of the book was an artist and
had supplied the sketches herself, but
it occurred to me such a book would
be interesting even without the
sketches, as the beauty of the pages,
to my mind, lay quite as much in thvi&
suggestiveness as in their artistic ar
rangemcnt.
Several other friends who have heard
of this book have been pleased with J
the idea and have started similar J
books. A young girl who is about to j
bo married has decorated her first
pages with bits from a very dainty
trousseau. She intends to put in her
book a piece of every dress she may
pwn.
A young mother has just commenced
such a collection for her baby daugh
ter. Should the child live to woman
hood the book ,will bo to her a com
plete record, not only of her vanished
youth, but also of the mother-love that
guarded and glorified it.
If only our grandmothers in their
days of silken tissue and stately bro
mdes had had such an inspiration!
And when the fashion of things pres
ent has passed away, such albums will
have developed into valuable posses
sions.—Ladies' Home Journal.

HOW TO KEEP ICE.
A Hick-Room Hint Which Cortlnly la
Worth Knowing.
A very simple but little known meth
od of keeping ice is to draw a piece of
thick flannel tightly over some deep
vessel, like ft bowl, for instance, and
-'•itLiji—lji
fasten it there. The ice is placed on
top of this drumhead ajid covered
loosely by another piece of finpnel.
fn this condition the ico keeps cold
| and oven freezes to the flannel. Thus
a small piece of ice can be kept near
the patient all night, so as to avert
many weary inarches up and down
stairs to the refrigerator.
To break the ice a sharp needle or
hat pin Js the best thing. Force it in
and you will be astonished to see how
cavity it will divide the ice.—Vesper
! L. George, in Youth's Companion.
The Newest Pincushion.
i The newest and daintiest thing In
j pincushions is the following: A
j wicker basket, about the size and
i shape of the bowl of a clay pipe, is
J filled with finely cut curled hair. Then
! a bit of block velvet is used as a cover-
I ing for the top. and black pins are
| stuck over the top in graduated rows
1 till it. is entirely covered. If the round
! heads are U3cd it will look like a great
| blackberry. Now narrow lavender
ribbon is tied around the basket and
i long ends with bows, by which to
j hang it up.
Tract leal Kitchen Hint.
When one is done using dishcloths,
, they should be thrown into a dish of
: water. Put a little soda or potash In,
and placG the dish for a short time on
I the stove, allowing the water to come
J to a boil. The cloths may then bo
f rinsed in cold water, and hung up in
the air. When needed again, they will
1 be as clean smelling as the clothes
I from the laundry, in which condition
they should always bo kept.
YOUR OLD BUREAU.
It May Bo Oouvertoii Into Several
Useful Articles.
How to Fnfllilon m Very Good Hall Seat
or a Settle for the Parlor—A I.ittle
Ingenuity and n Pot of Glue
Will Do It.
The utilization of old furniture in
furnishing the home has not received
the attention to which as a measure of
economy it is entitled. The possibil
ities of an old chest of drawers that
has outlasted its usefulness as such,
have seemingly remained undiscovered
to many persons. While the new uses
to which it can be put arc manifold,
space will only permit pointing out a
few of the most useful.
A very good hall seat may be fash
ioned from any ordinary bureau. That

shown in figure 1 was made from one
of those swell front affairs, so familini
in New England homes of the past,
but of course any similar shape or pat
tern would l>e equally fitting. To
inaße the change it is necessary to re
move the upper drawers, upholstering
the space left thereby—seat, sides and
back. The flat top of the bureau, of
course, will not be required as such,
and can be utilized as a scat by cutting
to the proper size and nailing in place.
The cushion maj r bo removable and
can be covered with denim, jute, vel
our or corduroy to suit one's purse.
The back and sides should be padded,
covering with the same material as
cushion. Finish the edges neatly
with gimp of suitable color or small
brass headed nails. Should the wood
be dark mahogany any of the shades of
denim now offered will answer admir
ably, and the pillows and bolsters, if
used, may be decorated to advantage
with outline designs. The suggestion
of using so humble a material as denim
k is with a view to economy; more costly
' material may bo used when desired.
A very handsome little settle may be
i fitted up in the parlor in much the
• same manner. Figure 2 illustrates
i what may bo done in this direction.
Have the bureau well scraped so ns to
, remove all of the old finish. After the
cabinet work is effected give three
coats of inside white paint laid or

evenly, finishing off with one or two
coats of white enamel. The settle as
shown here has been decorated with
papier macho or composition orna
ments, which can be applied with glue
and nailed in place to suit one's fancy.
When hard, these ornaments may be
softened by wrapping in a cloth, wrung
i out in hot water, after which they may
be twisted to any design required.
llouso decorators and picture framers
are large users of such material, and
1 amateurs may purchase of them. When
sueli ornamentation is attempted it
should always .be previous to thfc
painting, and may after this latter
process is effected be further touched
up with gold paint. A beautiful
white and gold divan of small dimen
sions, particularly well adapted for
placing against the back of an upright
piano, can be gotten up in this manner
at small expense. Upholstering of
silken texture and cushions of India
silk will complete the ensemble.—

How to Mukc Powder Stick.
If you must use powder and it won't
stick on, try this: Get an ounce or two
, of cocoa butter—costs about ton cents
I an ounce and looks like tallow. Rub
it on your face briskly until the skin
I is well greased. Take a'soft linon
j cloth and rub the butter off—and you
will wonder where all the dirt came
i from; then repeat the process, this time
. rubbing the skin well after applying
the butter. Again rub the face with
. tho cloth and af>ply it vigorously.
, After that rub on the powder and your
> skin will feel like satin. You can use
• it on the neck and arms the same way
and it is not likely to rub off and make
your skin look shiny. Cocoa butter is
a good skin food and 16 harmless.
For Wardrobe and Chiffonier.
J A delightful recipe for scent-powder,
to be used for wardrobe, boxes, otc.,
' far finer Indeed than any mixture sold
1 in the shops, is tho following: Cori
j andor, orris root, ro9e leaves and aro
j matio calamus, one ounce each; laven
• der flowers, ten ounces; rhodium, one
j fourth of a drachm; musk, Ave grains.
These, after being thoroughly mixed,
[ are reduced to a powder. Placed
among feminine finery, this sachet has
the same effect upon clothes that
would be produced by fragrant flow
ers, if pressed between the folds.
