Attention to Details While Garment
Being Ironed Is of First
Importance.
Iron the wristbands, neckband and
any othpr stiff starched plaits or
bands, first on the right side, then on
the wrong side. This will give them
the desired smoothness that ironing
first on the wrong side would in some
cases destroy.
Lay the shirtwaist on the ironing
board with the neckband directly in
front of the ironer and parallel with
the front edge of the table, stretch
until smooth, and iron on the right
side until partly dry, then on the
wrong side, and finish on the right
side. Proceed in the same manner
with waistbands. Iron prints on the
vrong side, if possible, because it
6'ives them more nearly the appear
ance of new and prevents an unde-
sirable gloss.
When the neckband and cufTs are
finished, lay the wrist on the beard
with the neck at the left hand, and
iron the fronts, then the back. It is
best to iron both fronts# first, because
they are often trimmed, and will look
better and iron easier if not' allowed
to become dry. The back, too dry,
beinp plainer, can be dampened with
a cloth wrung from warm water.
Iron well Into the gathers and until
dry. Do not iron across the seams,
but close to them on either side, then
press the seams by setting the Iron
directly on them. To iron the sleeve,
fold at the seam and begin ironing at
the seam side, being careful not to
iron across the opposite fold, and thus
form a crease.
After ironing one side, loosen the
two sides by slipping the hand be-
tween them, then turn the sleeve over
and iron the other side. Now put the
hand in the sleeve at the bottom and
turn it so that the seam lies on the
table and the unironed strip at the
hack or outside of the sleeve lies
above it.
With a small iron smooth out this
portion, and, still using a small iron,
slip it inside of the sleeve at the
arm's eye, and iron the top of the
sleeve in the gathers. If possible,
iron the gathered portion at the cuff
in the same way and iron the sleeves
on the sleeve board.
EARNING AN HONEST QUARTEP
Great Painter, Unrecognized, Accept
ed Gratuity and Turned Good
Stroke of Business.
Winslow Homer was a great paintei
who had the unusual good fortune to
have his merit appreciated early ir
life. But no one ever presumed less
on a wide reputation. Affection was
a weakness from which his sense 01 j
humor saved him.
In his biography, lately written b>
Mr. W. H. Downs, is printed the story
of a New York gentleman of wealth
and artistic tastes who made the jour
ney to Scarboro, Me., where Homer
had his studio, to make the artist's,
acquaintance.
On his arrival he found the studic
door locked; the owner was nowhere
to be seen. He wandered about the
cliffs for a while, until lie met a man
in a rough old suit of clothes, rubber
boots, and a battered felt hat, who
carried a fish-pole. He accosted the
fisherman thus:
"I say, my man, if you can tell me
where I can, find Winslow Homer, I
have a quarter for you."
"Where's your quarter?" asked the
fisherman.
He handed it over, and was astound-
ed to hear the quizzical Yankee fisher-
man say, "I am Winslow Homer."
The sequel of this unusual introduc
tion was that Horner took his new ac j
quaintance back to the studio, enter-
tained him, and before he left sold
him a picture.

In New York state there recently came
a big, good natured Irish woman, who
wanted to be weighed. She stepped
off the scales almost as soon as she
had stepped on.
"Shure, these scales is no good!"
was her disgusted comment. "They
only weigh up to wan hundred, an' I
weigh something loike wan hundred
and nointy pounds."
" 'Tis easily discouraged ye are, Mrs.
Casey," said a friend. "Just step onto
them twict, me dear, and let Mickey
here do the sum for ye."

Methods of Cleaning That Will Add to
Their Appearance and
Preservation.
To clean old pewter, experts usually
find it best to dip the plates and tank-
ards, as the case may be, in a basinful
of hot water in which soda crystals of
borax have been dissolved.
The water should be almost hotter
than the hands can bear, and the
pewter must be washed with a hard
nail brush and plenty of soap. To
make it shine there is nothing to equal
ordinary metal polish of a reliable
make, to which a few drops of petrol-
eum have been added. The dishes
must then be washed in warm soap-
suds and finally rubbed when dry with
powdered whiting, or while still wet
with whiting paste.
A paste of whiting, soap and milk is
the best for dust-stained alabaster or-
naments. The paste must be left to
dry on, and then washed away, the
surface being then dried with a cloth
and then with a flannel.
Some women are peculiar, atid some
others are more so.
HAND CORN SHELLER
Metal Lath on a Board.
A very handy device for shelling

j edges of the metal lath are bound
with a strip of wood nailed to the
j Ooard.—Popular Mechanics.
THE DOCTOR HABIT
And How She Overcame It.
Wrhen well selected food has helped
the honest physician place his patient
in sturdy health and free from the.
"doctor habit," it is a source of satis-
faction to all parties. A Chicago wom-
an says:
"We have not had a doctor in the
house during all the 5 years that we
have been using Grape-Nuts food. Be-
j fore we began, however, we had 'the
doctor habit,' and scarcely a week went
by without a call on our physician.
"When our youngest boy arrived, 5
years ago, I was very much run down
and nervous, suffering from indiges-
tion and almost continuous headaches.
I was not able to attend to my ordinary
domestic duties and was so nervous
that I could scarcely control myself.
I Under advice 1 took to Grape-Nuts.
"I am now, and have been ever since
we began to use Grape-Nuts food, able
! to do all my own work. The dyspep-
sia, headaches, nervousness and rheu-
matism which used to drive me fairly
I wild, have entirely disappeared.

work in which he is engaged, Grape-
; Nuts food supplies him the most whole-
some, strengthening and satisfying

All Treatments Failed. Relieved

Mrs. Wm. Hoh-

writes:
"I suffered with
catarrh of the bron-
chial tubes and had
a terrible cough ever
since a child.
"I would sit up in
bed with pillows
propped up behind
nie, but still the
cough would not let
me sleep. I thought
and everybody else
that I had consump-
tion.
"So reading the
papers about Pe-
runa I decided to
try, without the
least hit of hope that
it would do me any
good. But after tak-
ing three bottles I
noticed a change.
My appetite got
better, so I kept on,
Mrs. Hohmann. never discouraged.
Finally I seemed not to cough so much
and the pains in my chest got better
and I could rest at night.
"I am well now ana cured of a chronic
cough and sore throat. I cannot tell
you how grateful I am, and I cannot
thank Peruna enough. It ha cured
where doctors have failed and I _ talk
Peruna wherever I go, recommend it to
everybody. People who think they
have consumption better give it a
trial."
