Pitting Garments at Rome.
A. well known dressmaker, on being
asked for a few hints as to how she made
the bodices for her customers fit so well,
said: "Why, I lit till the fit is all rigbt.
That's all." And this is the groat secret
of fitting. Certainly it cans for some
knowledge and ability, but these can be
acquired by any one wbo possesses an or-
dinary amount of col/in:Ion sense.
A trial fitting may be made with the
tining turned inside out, but for the final
(1330 it IMUSt be turned the rigbt way, as
in many women the two sides of thefigure
are not exactly alike.
First of all, pin your lining together
sloven the front, making the line of pins
ourve to follow the outline of the figure
from ()hie to waist. One rule in fittiag
has no exception -never displace the waist
line. Put 1D at first where the figure re-
quires it and Caen nt above and below it,
but don't move it out of line. Fit the
seams in tbe back, being careful to kcep
She shape of the different parts perfect,
and not to pucker or stretch them, but
only strain them diagonally.
Take in what is necessary under the
arms, and alter the bust darts, if they re-
quire it, so that they shall begin just be-
low the curve of the bust. Those sbould
be tapered off more or less gradually, an -
cording to the fullness of the figure, but
In any case they must end just under tbe
bust, or 'they are sure to "bulge."
Now note the batik and shoulders. Very
likely you will find that the back sage at
the neck and the front wriekles at the
shoulder seams. Rip open these seams,
then press the front up smoothly over tbe
• bust to the shoulder, draw the back up
firmly till it is quite tight and repin new
shoulder seams.
The front of the shoulder seam thould
be stretched just a little, letting the back
• lie "easy." This helps to make the front
set emootlity over the bollow la the etem
der that is found in Most figures. If the
figure te not very full in 'iron -tot the elioul-

ing. Tee eutside material must he stretch-

Copper Cooking Utensils.
"Copper has been my best friend in the
kitchen," rentarked a clever bousekeeper
the other day. "It is not its intrinsic vir-
tue that I revere and love, but its ability
to get dingy quickly and its beauty when
properly cleaned. I hold that the one
great principle of cookery is eleauliness,
and therefore I insist upon everything
used in the 'kitchen being scrupulously
clean. Like most other housekeepers I
make rules for servants to break, and it is
sometimes a struggle to persuade Bridget
or Sarah that a utensil filled with water
and left with a bit of soda in it at one
side of the stove to keep wares oan be
cleaned, when the proper time comes, very
much more quickly than if left all night
dry and sticky. But copper utensils have
done more good than all the leotures I
ever delivered to my erring handmaidens.
Copper is a little dearer than other ma-
tort/1/s, but it lasts forever and is better
than tin, iron, enamel or earthen ware.
The great arguments in its favor are, first-
ly, that servants take a pride in keeping
it brilliantly clean and bright, and, in the
second place, copper being h slow coeduct-
or of heat, there is little or no fear of any-
thing cooked in a copper utensil 'mashing'
or burning. All copper vesselshould be
rethined at toast once a year, while to ob-
viate any risk of copper poisoning special
care and attention must be paid to the
keeping of them spotlessly olean. Need-
less to say, no food, especially none con-
taining any acid, should be left in a cop-
per paia overnight." -New York Com-

defeated hire by a majority of 46. He at
once surprised all England by retiring
from the leadersbip of bis party into

he chopped out of political life and for it

The Turk Ilia Bete Noir.
In 1880 the English mind was exercised
over what was Called the "Bulgarian
atrocities" Lord Hartingdon was then
leader of the Liberals, but he was weak.
They were in extremities, but their ex-
tremity was Mr. Gladstone's opportunity.

The next couple of years were stormy
ones in English polities. Ministry after

give it up again. In 1858 Mr. Gladstone
Was Chancellor of tbe Exohequer of Lord

land lost 24,000 inen, five -sixths by pre--

the next Prime Minieter. The Peelites
joined hira and Gladstone resumed office
as Chancellor of She Exchequer.

A. Characteristic Anecdote.
On 0/3e occasion some one hinted re-
tirement pretty broadly to Mr. Gladstone,
entirely with a viem% the person ;urged,
to the prolongation oe such a valuable
life. As soon as be saw the drift of the
speaker's remarks tbe old matt rose and,
with his grim, dry gravity. said: "Will
you dance with n3er" Naturally, the well-
wisher stood aghast at the then Premier'a
strange request, but the latter, who prid-
ed himself particularly upon his sturdy
lees, began to caper about with youthful
vrvacity. Seeing his visitor standing sur-
prised, the G. 0. M. tripped up to him
aud said: "Well, if you evon'tdance with
me, will you box with me?" and "squar-
ing up" to him, half in jest and half in.
earnest, literally boxed the ,gentlerean
out of the room. After that the man
whose vitality was the wonder of the
century had no more visitors anxiously
inquiring after his health and suggesting
retirement.
Mrs. Giudstone's One Divinity.
At a reception held in a great hall in
England not long ago Mr. and Mrs.
Gladstone were bonored guests. During
the evening it happened thee Mr. Glade
stone was in a gallery directly above the
place in the parquet where Mrs. Glad-
stone was chatting with some ladies. In
tho course of their conversation a ques-
tion arose which the ladies could not set-
tle satisfaetovily. Finally one said:
"Well, there is One above who knows
all things, and some day He will make
all things plain to us."
"Yes, yes,'replied Mrs. Gladstone,
"William will be down in a minute and
he will tell ua all about it."
W. E. Gladstone and Arbitration.
Among other woeldoknown statesmen,
the late resident of Havvarden gave his
opinion of the Signing of tbe Anglo-
American treaty. On that weaken he
wrote:
Hawarden, Jan. 18, 1897.-I rejoice in
She signature of the Anglo-American
treaty. It would be too much to expect
that the quarrels of nations throughout
She world should be got rid of by 21108122£2
of suet: treaties, but they nudicate a
sound. conviction worthy of Christian5
and constitute a stop in -tin path of real
progress. GLADSTONE.
Gladstone's Illness and Suffering.
• Ever since Mr. Gladstone resigned the
British Premiership to Lord Rosebery in
1893, be has been a sufferer from neural-
gia. A year or more ago it was claimed
that he had lost his eyesight. . This re-
port, although exaggerated, was not
without foundation, fax he has •had More
or,less trouble with bit eyes der at least
five years, and in the performance of hie
literary work eas had to rely upon eteno-
pokers and friends.
