The curtains should be left to soak in warm, soapy water, #0 that they will require as little rubbing as possitte to get them ciean, and this should be done with the hands, as a board is alm- ply ruinous. Make a thin boiled starch, siightly blue, and dip the curtains in, wringing them out gently. Then take qlean bed sheets and pin the curtains on the sheets to dry, being careful to pin them exactly in shape, so that they will be perfectly square and even when dry, Some people damp and tron the curtains, but it Is very bad for the fab ric and they will never hang properly afterwards. Millinery Decorations 1 A special feature of new millinery te that the blossoms and follage used for decoration are extremely large, many of the huge leaves that extend at right angles from the sides of the hat or bon- net being shaped like those of the begonia. Flaring wing effects are still dominant characteristic of Spring and Summer millinery. These are made to equalize in a degree the broad effect of the shoulders. This style of trimming 1s, however, far more becoming to the faces of slender women than to either round or oval countenances. For the Sentimental Bachelor.

P. J. MURPHY, Tompkinavitle, 8. L jevementa, England’ To the Editor: 1 heg to differ with R. J. Taylor that tm alt wars England is invariably victorious, and her epponents always hi “more slices taken {oft their bark gardens.” &. The English during this century have never singly whipped any strong nation of white men, + Sepoys, Arabs, Africans and Chinese have succumbed to her prowess, Napoleon wae cruahed by united Kurope. In the Crimean war the French captured Sebastopol, the Engilsh assisting. The great Admiral Napler walled north to capture Cronstadt, and then-- sailed back again, In the war of the Revolution, in America, it seems to me that pretty big slices were taken off Great Britain's “back gar- den." ‘The War of 1812 with the United St was a victory for Uncle Sam, and no slices off hin “back garden." Even the Dutch Boers (white men) thrashed the British. The United ates have been victorioue in every war thay have engaged. In conclusion, why do English men like R. J, Taylor, who a love England, Persist in remaining im this horrid country? ‘They never would be missed. VERITAS.
