never 1o shop except on a sunny day.Ehe never, she Insists, mnlcos a mistaketin a sunny day. She declares thero isnothing one con buy safely but stampswhen the sun is absent.

The suncomes out. one's mood chauges nnd oneregrets what one lias said, ilnd what onolias bought. In spite of this, as every onocan seo, It just takes a rain to bringwomen out.

by hand In rows of equal distanco, and the tucks rucked up to fit the

WHAT MILADY LEARNS¡N THE LAUNDRY

A Good Beginning.When everything is rcudy for Ironing,

divide tlio clothes In an orderly mariner.Tut the basket full of clothes upside

down on the ironing table, then set Iho

empty basket on the floor and line itwith a. clean towel.Take from the heap all the articles

which need but a few minutes' attentionand placo them together at ilio end of thotable. When the clothes aro divided thosecan bo Ironed at once nnd hung up to air.Put tho starched things to ono siete;

they aro to bo dealt with when every¬

thing clue is finished. Then put the night¬gowns in ono lille, the chemises In another,und so on.Do not waste time by trying to do the

work with cold irons.Always Iron with the thread parallel

with the selvedge, It Is not half so hardon tho material.There Is u knack in Ironing which can

only be acquired by practice, inexperi¬enced workers often push Ilio iron back¬

ward and forward; thoy ought rather toaim ¡it pressing tho material with thoIron, passing It along ns they do so.

Scrape the Iron.If any dirt or starch sticks to the iron

It. should he scraped Off with an olii knllc..Iron every article until It Is dry. This

Is one of the secrets of good Ironing.'Table linen requires very careful treat¬
