To buy, or mot to buy; that is the question; Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of motoring friends, Or to take arms against a sea of dealers, And by buying end it. To buy, to drive; To drive; perchance to speed; ay, there's the rub; Jor in that speed of joy what things may come— The punctured tire, the battered car, ’ a wreck, The broken head and bones—and bills and bills! And if not this, e'en yet it takes a flow to go, Of dollars to keep the thing in shape to go— And at the best a stall in noontide sun, Or midnight hours, afar from man or beast. 11 puzzles the will, for yet we ponder o'er . The joys of motoring; and the ills we have, And those we fly to, fade away. Thus does the sport make motorists of us all, And soon or late our resolutions come to naught. —Helen Stanley, in “Life.” o ¢ o Methodist Reading Circle Will Meet Tomorrow.

Laces and Maline Handle If not in use, scrubbing-brushes should be turned bristles downward. Thus the water will run out of them and they will dry, whereas if they are placed on their backs the water will soak into the wood and loosen the bristles. It is much better to use cold wa- ter than hot for scrubbing floors, as it does not soak into the wood readily, and consequently dries soon- er, The scrubbing-brush should al- ways be moved up and down the hoards with the grain of the wood, and not across it. Should an egg have been boiled too lcng it can be softened again by lift- ing the saucepan off the fire quickly, placing it under the tap, and allow- ing a good stream ofl cold water to run into it. The sudden shock in changing from hot to cold water has the curious effect of softening the egg. S0 When washing silk handkerchiefs a little care is required to prevent them turning yellow, and to avoild this they should never be boiled or have any soap rubbed on them. Make a lather of finely shredded white soap and lukewarm water, wash and squeeze the handkerchiefs in it; press out all the moisture possible, and dry them quickly. Iron while they are still damp, though not wet. If new tinware be rubbed over with fresh lard, and thoroughly heated in the oven before it is used, it will inever rust afterwards, no matter how imuch it is put into water, For stained |tinware borax produces the best re- sults. If a teapot or coffee pot is discolored on the inside, hoil it in a ’su'mu.' solution of borax for a =hort Itime, and all its brightness will 1 turn. ! _———— ! A little salt placed at the hottom of the oil reservoir of a lamp wiil cause it to burn with a brighter light. When short of oil fill up the reservoir with water till every drop of oil is used up. This is also a useful ef- pedient in the case of short wicks. Do not take too thick a rind off in HEN the millinery designer once understands how to use these airy fabrics (whose description merits verse, rather than prose) we are refreshed with delight- ful examples of her art. Both malines and laces must be managed by an artist; for commonplace designing cannot harmonize with such exquisite products of the loom. These wonder- ful materials have no reason for ex- istence except in the realm of beauty. They are woven with this idea in mind. They provide the field in which the fancy of those who make fabrics, may allow itself to play, borrowing from flowers, birds, clouds, its Inspiration. Maline is not as fragile as it looks, although it is fragile. Like many oth- er fabrics it has been water-proofed §0 that moisture does not kil it. It is not meant for daily wear. Maline has come into great prominence lately as a substitute for the heron aigrette, whose passing is but a matter of time.

The students and members of the faculty are all very busy getting ready for the commencement exer- cises which begin on Thursday even- ing, May 16, and continue every evening up to and including the evening of the 22d inst. On next Sunday Bishop Morrison Wwill preach the commencement ser- mon at 11 a. m and in the evening Rev. J. B. Mitchell preaches the ser- mon before the literary societies. On last Saturday evening Mrs. Hil- burn entertained the members of tho“ Pannier to Be for & Time. The pdnnier has arrived and prom- ises to become generally accepted— at least for a while—by fashionable dressers throughout the fashion-rid- den world. It is as narrow as ever, some of the new spring frocks meas- uring less than two yards at the foot. This tapering line from hip to ankle, produced by pannier drapery over the narrow petticoat, is usually very becoming to the figure and only when the pannier is actually bunched out in lumpy effect, making its wear- er ungainly and clumsy, is this new drapery unattractive. The pannier may be located any- where between the waistline and the ankle, and most of the authoritative models showing this style have had {panniers just above the knee, the lline being very gradual and graceful. Such panniers are really nothing but asked him why, and he always gave At last 1 have gotten He | said he did, but made no further ¢n- | gagement. [ care a great deal for this | young man. What would you advise { me to do in regards to such a mat- ter? I have written you some letters be- fore but my answers never appear in the paper. May I ask if 1 have made any mistake, and why they do not ap- pear?—B. H. Perhaps your letters have been among the many that request a reply *“in next Sunday’s paper.” That is ut- terly impossible, for the department is always made up In advance and then by that time probably a reply would be too late for your purpose. Then, too, there is only a very limited | space for “Questions and Answers.” and each letter has to take its turn. About the young man, it never does to be too anzious. I think I would just let him go his own sweet Way, appear ndifferent, and i possible go with some one else. If this process does ot bring him to time, he s not worth worrying over.

TELEGRAM LAEELAND, FLA, MAY 15, 1912, s Daintily d by the Milliner There are laces that are very sub- stantial, as well as those which are al- most too delicate to use. This is the day of laces and the fashionable varie- ties are seen everywhere—gowns, coats and hats, whether for the prom-, enade or indoor wear, are bedecked with lace. They are usually applied flat to another fabric. But the lighter varieties, such as val, point de esprit, mechlin, etc, are worn in narrow plaitings and rufes. There is a fu- rore for cluny, especially in lingerie gowns and hats, and on undermuslins. And there are many heavy novelty laces for coats and gowns and for hats, that look well placed on those substantial garments made for daily wear. Therefore street hats, even of the most mannish outlines, are fitting: ly banded with graceful lace paterns. The two hats shown here are excel- lent examples of the way in which ma- line and lace are used in the hands of the artist in millinery. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. What about the bouquet? 1s the wed- ding ring to be worn on same finger as the engagement ring? And how and when do they put it on.—H. E. The hat {s worn and it s as you prefer about the gloves, with or with- out being equally proper. You may carry a bouquet or wear one, which- ever pleases you best. Remove the engagement ring for the ceremony, af- terwards slip it on over the wedding ring, at any convenient time, usually before you start away. Glad you find the department helpful and thank you for telling me. A Graduating Breakfast. You have helped so many, so that we come to you for advice, We wish to glve a breakfast to some of our girl friends who are graduating this year. Would that be all right? What would be the proper hour and what should we scrve? Please give us some new ideas for table decorations | and entertainment. There will only be | girls.—Anxious Inquirer. [ It ic quite the upto-date thing to give breaktasts, and the hour is twelve or half-ufter.
