But filmut the -ribbons. The washing- of ribbons is not always attended with th best results. The following is a milliner method and most successful: Put the ribbon into a basin of warm water, rub on come good -white soap, nd wash aa you would anything else. Y hU? still wet, iron on the right side with a-hot iron and when dry rub between be-tween the bands a.s if washing it until nil the stiffness is out, then iron again to remove the wrinkles.

(The Pilgrim for May.) j A resourceful friend of mine, who is a famous housekeeper, used old linen sheets for wrapping the furs b:-fore placing them in a box or barrel. Sheets are selected that are too old and thin for other use, and they are kept for ihis purpose from year to j'ear. as they would not be fit to use on beds after their summer service in fur storing, specially 'if oil of cedar is-used as a moth preventative. .She :: .saturates small balls of cotton batting with the Ml of cedar, and pins -them-, to - the -sheets In which the furs are to be trapped. It is almost impossible to i "!,fine the oil to the batting, however, I ni,d the sheets will come from the I store room badly stained. Many ob- : j"rt to the very useful oil of cedar be-f-ai:sp of its strong odor: but "those I ho have tested it find that the odor i soon passes off after the furs are taken from the store room. In fact, it dofs !'t cling to them after thorough ven-I ven-I ilc t ion half as long as the odor of camphor and many other preventatives. FhK-ts of newspaper are often mor? highly recommended than cotton or linen sheets for wrapping expensive furs before storing them, as there is ffnr.ething about the printer's ink-ihat proves disagreeable to the motha The tihw-ts must be especially prepared for '!" purpose, however. In order to wrap the large fur securely, the news-rap-rs must be pasted to form sheets ef the right size, and this pasting must he so firm that no cracks through vhl-h the moths may find a chance to enter will be left. It is best to provide two or three newspaper sheets for each y piece of fur. ' Large, tough paper bags will be the lest receptacle for small capes and J. 'ok pieces. Several of these wrapped separately in newspaper as an extra' Precaution may be placed in one bag 'f the large, strong bags such as are vfri ,y butchers may be secured. If an;.- of the usual moth preventative? preventa-tive? are l!sed in connection with the thorough wrappings, it will be unwise to rae them come in contact with the fur. Although few will leave the relish t'tain peculiar to the oil of c?-wir. c?-wir. there is always danger of discol--arjo:, especially with the light furs, -i is flivays safest to wrap the oil sat-, sat-, i-iion.-; in w axed paper, and the balls pewdt-rs iti tissue pap'r, before 1 '!a-ii ,e among the fura These will lr'';i i iheir strength throughout the Jni!)i.r. and need not . be removed nN; their pap;r wrappings, or re-'j'"-- by fresh preventatives, when i" furs arc taken from their storage pi;,.v fr,r periodical shaking and fishing.

" ' i FOR BUSINESS WOMEN. j It Is the Correct Thing: 1 To remember that work is not degradation. degra-dation. ' i That idleness under certain circumstances circum-stances may be. ' That the Blessed Virgin, the descendant descend-ant of kings, the Mother of the King of kings, did not disdain either poverty or work. I That the world respects a woman j who respects herself. j To be strictly on time in the school ; room, office, or wherever one's duties call. - For a working woman to remember that the time for which she is paid belongs be-longs to her employers. To claim no indulgence on the score of sex. To accept it gratefully if it is given. To remember that employers as a-rule a-rule prefer to discharge a woman, rather rath-er than find fault with her. To remember that prudence, patience and perseverance i re virtues particu- , larly desirable in a business woman. To work only under icnutable and honorable employers. To insist at a'll times upon the respect re-spect due a woman. To let one's conduct deserve it. ' To be courteous and considerate f& one's co-laborers. To remember that courtesy to buSr. ness associates does not imply a necessity neces-sity of receiving them as friends if they are uncongenial. To be scrupulously neat and severely-I'lain severely-I'lain in attire. To avoid jewelry, striking colors, pronounced styles, on the sore of" good taste as well as prudence. To take proper care of one's physical health so as to avoid the "breakdown" 'which unfortunately usually overtakes -the woman who is steadily employed. To remember that one Cannot work and be "in society" at the same time. To rind temporal happiness in home and friends . and the pleasures which may be enjoyed in obscurity, and not sigh for social amusements beyond one's reach The Correct Thing for Catholics. - - AN ANGEL IN THE HOUSE. By Leigh Hunt.) . How sweet it were if, without feeble fright Or dying of the dreadful beauteous sight, An angel came to us, and we could bear To see him issue from the silent air At evening in our room, and bend on ours His divine eyes, and bring us from his bowers News of dear friends and children who have never Been dead, indeed, as we shall know forever. Alas! we think not what we daily see About our hearths angels that are to be, Or maybe, if they will and we prepare Their souls and ours to meet in happy air A child, a friend, a wife whose soft heart sings In unison with ours, breeding its future fu-ture wings.

MARQUISE DE FONTENOY. MAKING HAPPY HOMES. It is a part of every man's duty in this world to take care of himself, his home and his future. If he is idle today to-day his store will be diminished tomorrow. to-morrow. If there is no income there can be no outgo, unless he spends that which belongs to another or that which yesterday he laid away. A busy man rarely goes to the almshouse or begs his bread at the door of another. Taking the world over, domestic com" fort comes through remunerative labor. la-bor. Finding fault with conditions of society and seeking the destruction of those who furnish us both labor and wages, brings no -comforts to, our own table and kindles no fire on the hearth. A day's- labor and a day's wages will bring gladness to the day that follows. A good temper and a willing hand, correct habits and a kind heart, make .happy homes. But gaunt poverty, like the hound of the hunter, follows at the heels of him who is indolent or wastes his Mages?, or who seeks his pleasure in the subways rather than by domestic firesides. If men waste tonight what th y earned today, their children will cry for bread tomorrow. Home Journal and j Newe. A SOCIETY LEADER'S TASK.
