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- der Rattle, tette up a little tuck in the lin- ing. Tee eutside material must he stretch- ed to lit ;the lining without any tuelis.

"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.

Be made his maiden public speech in 1830, when be defended Catho- lic emancipation and thought the Doke of Wellington's government unworthy of national confidence He opposed the re. moval of Jewish disabilities and pleaded for the gradual extinction rather than the immediate abolition of slavery. His best speech was against the Whig reform bill in 1831, whon his eloquence and political ability propnesied England's future Prime Minister. In 1831 he gradu- ated with a "double first," and lett tbe university in an ecelesia,stical frame of mind, conscious of his great powers, but anxious to use them for the glory of God. He arst turned his thoughts to holy orders, but his father's aversion prevailed. Pas Virst Campaign. Fax six months he studied in Italy, but returned in the fall of 1832 to under- take his first parliarnentavy campaign.

The laorizon was overcast with dark deeds of coming danger. A great change was at band, buts none could foretell whether it -would be born in bloodshed, as in France, or in peace.

Ho held then, as he did in later years, that the church, as a state church, must cease to exist. The Government was defeated. Disraeli re- signed and the queen sent for Mr. Glad- stone. Ha had now readied the highest summit of political ambition. All the iminetry and self 'denial of a laborious life, all the anxieties and burdens and 'battles of a ave-and-thlrty years parlia- mentary struggle wen trowned by this supreme and adequate reward. At this time it was said of him, "Gladstone, as ever, great, earneet and honest." Irish Church Disestablislintent.

One of the most difficult prob- lems to attract his attention was the ad- justment of the Alabama claims. Waning Vogularity caul Defeat. in 1871 his popularity began to wane. His Irish legislation was not satisfactory nor were certain of his borough reforms in England. His own seat even was tbreateaed., Certain political appoint- ments were also undermining him. Tbe Irish educational bill was the rook on welch he split and Mr. Disraeli was summoned again by the Queen to form an Administration. But he refused to take office wad Air. Gladstone was forced to resume. The Iltat election, however, defeated hire by a majority of 46. He at once surprised all England by retiring from the leadersbip of bis party into practically private life. His party im- plored him to continue to lead them awhile. He did for a time, but in 1875 he chopped out of political life and for it while devoted his attention to his beloved study, theology. 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.

In 1858 Mr. Gladstone Was Chancellor of tbe Exohequer of Lord Aberdeen's Government. If one can con- ceive wheavee-horn Chancellor Mr. Glad- stone was that celestial product.

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.

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.
