LATE SUMMER HAT MODEL Hill grouttb the ?|ome BY CYNTHIA GREY. To keep parsley fresh, wash and dry fresh parsley and place in Mason jar. Cover and keep in re- frigerator. Parsley may be kept in this way for several days. This is a more sanitary method than the old unpleasant way fo keeping it in water. In hanging table linens put them on the line with the two them on thetaoin xz< k SRI2 hems together and pin firmly. This will keep them even and keep the hems from being shippehd out in the wind. Old fruit can lids and rubbers that seem worthless may be used by running a red-hot poker around the cover after it is screwed on tight. Dents may bo removed by pressure. The rubber is melted and the can is rendered air tight. Pulverized plaster of parts nnd BUgar in equal parts, well mixed and sprinkled about, will drive ants away. A little mashed potato is a groat improvement when making suet crust for puddings of heat and fruit. If your jelly does not "jell" add a pinch of powdered alum.

HOW WOMAN LOST A MILLION BECA USE SHE COULDN'T VOTE Editor Press: When I read the letter the other day from the wo- man who has a grievance because she has Jloo,ooo worth of proper- ty and can't vote, I made up my mind to write about my griev- ance, which I believe will win more votes for suffrage than hers, because I am a victim of the most unjust law that can affect woman, the property law of Pennsylvania, which gives a man the right to will away all of the property, al- lowing the wife only a life interest, or the income of one-third, even where she earned most of it her- self. Is Old, Poor and Blind. I am now a poor, blind, broken old woman, depending on the char- ity of my widowed daughter, who sews to support us both, and she, too, is delicate from the effects of that terrible law. I will have my daughter write my story and you can judge for yourself. My husband and 1 started with nothing. I made vinegar, which he peddled around in a wheelbar- row. Besides making the vinegar I kept boarders, did all the work, washing, cooking, scrubbing, and made all my husband's clothes, my own and the children's. In two years we had enough money to start a little grocery. We lived back of it, and I did all the work, still keeping boarders, and waited on the store all the time, besides attending to all tlie bills, as 1 had a good head for business. My husband didn't have much of a head for business. In a few years the business grew bo much, and I had so many chil- dren that we hired a girl to help. But 1 worked always in the store, because people seemed to want me to wait on them. We finally be- came rich and when my husband died the estate whs estimated at a million dollars, for we had the big- gest grocery business in the city of Pittsburg, aud a lot of property besides. Grew Very Rich. We had a fine home out in the Baal End, but I went down to the store every day in my carriage, for 1 loved the store, and was proud of the business we bad made. And everybody said it was Mrs. who had built it up and was the business one of the firm. into the hands of a trust company, and I was to get my one-third in- come. 1 tried to break the will, because I wanted to keep the store, ut I lost the case. My store and albl the rest of the property was sold, and during the panic of 1593 the trust company failed and we lost every- thing. Had 'uck continued to pursue us. !We moved into a little house and drunk Pittsburg's vile water, and ; three of my daughters died of ty- : phoid fever. My son-in-law had it very severely, being left in such a weakened condition that he got consumption. He died eight years ago. My widowed daughter and I have been sewing, trying to sup- I port ourselves, but I am getting blind now, and my troubles have broken me. Our condition was caused by that outrageous law of Pennsylva- nia which gives the husband abso- lute control of everything. My lawyer told me most of the states have the same kind of a law. Please publish this, for most peo- ple do not know about, these laws. WOMEN WILL NEVER GET JUSTICE UNTIL THEY HELP MAKE THE LAWS. A NON-VOTER, "EVERY WOMAN HER OWN ELECTRIC FAN" NEW YORK. Aug. 16.?Dr. Julia Seaton Sears, bead of the New Thought City, a summer samp on tlie Hudson, says she hasn't been hot this season. She has a "psychic electric fan" in her ego, supplied witli perpetual current (Tom the All-good. "One must think that heat is a good thing, a wonderful uling, that it will take the Impurities out of the corporeal, that It was purpose- ly sent to us, and cannot hint, that there is something inside that will send out waves of coolness suffi- cient to neutralize the heat waves." Itut Dr. Sears says one should avoid meat and stimulants, and wear loose, thin clothing. Also, she says: "Hon't quarrel with people who see Hod different- ly from you." Keep cool! Well, my husband died In 1891 and left a will that everything should lie sold and the money put Judge Prather corrects the report ihat he is a candidate for Biiperior court Judge. The judge has not filed for the office. 11THEN a man feels the necessity of ? being in two places at the same time he goes to the nearest telephone and sends his voice. It is not exactly the snipe thing, but when a man talks hundreds of miles in) opposite directions from the same Hell Telephone-, it js about as good. In the daily use of the telephone a man travels all over town by wire in ti few minutes. It is just as easy to travel till over the state and other states by means of the universal Long Distance Service of the Bell System. The Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co. Every Bell Telephone is the Center of the System. tyhed Womeiv "IF WOMEN ARK TACTFUL enough not to always worst their husbands in argument, there seems to be little opposition on a hus- band's part to his wife being well educated." ?DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH. "DOMESTIC FELICITY depends largely on the mutual Interest of husband and wife in business, social and domestic affairs. If a woman is able to conduct a home properly, she can generally make a business success. Why shouldn't she continue to work after mar- riage? Wives should share the load. More husbands and wives in business partnership will mean less divorce and more domestic happiness." ?MRS. AGNES MULLIGAN, Real Estate Operator. "LIFE WITHOUT LOVE would not, bo worth living. It Is the most beautiful thing tn the world. I cannot remember the time I was not in love. My loving a person I mean simply the enjoyment of their presence, the delight in their conversation, the willingness to give and to receive favors ?particularly to give them." ? MRS PHILIP VAN VALKENBURGH, "The $H. 000.000 Widow." TAKE A PUFF, PUFF, PUFF, BUT IN SECL UDED NOOK Ho Spokane women smoke ciga- rettes? They do. Not to the extent that the Washington women smoke, per- haps, but ?but ? Well, they do say that a cozy lit- tle "all girls" smoker at Natato- rium park was rudely interrupted one afternoon last week and it is quite a common tiling to see a thin thread of smoke curling up above feathered hats in several cafes late in the evening. The women are well dressed and apparently come from the upper walks of life. too. So says the little Sher- lock Holmes who has spotted these iniquities. Of course, the Spokane women haven't reached the point where they boldly flaunt their jeweled cigarette cases as they do in Washington. ?In this city where society Is tinged with the foreign habits of the diplomatic set and where ciga- rette smoking is so common among society women that it is no longer of much comment, there is a strong feeling that the anti-cigar- ette crusaders have been unfair in directing their criticism at one or two individual women smokers. The practice. It has been pointed out, is not confined to any especial few, but is quite general among fashionable women. As a regular feature of practically every ultra- fashionable dinner party here, cig- arettes are usually provided for the women. The old-fashioned idea of the women leaving the men at the table to smoke their cigarettes has almost entirely disappeared, and now the men have their cigl arettes and liquor In one room and the women have theirs in another. This is the way they do it at our national capital, according to the press dispatches: MEMORIES. Two things there are with Memory will abide. Whatever else befall, while life flows by; That soft, cold hand touch at tho altar side; The thrill that shook you at your child's first cry. ?Thos. Malley Aldrich. You Save Lots of Money The club plan of selling pianos Is r.ew." It's the best way. because it saves you the most money and this is why ? You join with 509 other careful buyers in a great wholesale pur- chase. It's just as if 510 neighbors joined together and sent one expert piano man to the factories to buy pianos for them. More than that, you get the lowest terms ever quoted on pianos of such high qual- ity. The clubs Include Kimballs, Deckers, Lesters, Hobart M. Cables, Kohler & Campbells, Stegers, etc. Club R members secure $450 pianos at $297.50, paying $7.50 down and $1.25 weekly. Club C members secure $550 pianos at $359, paying $tl down and $1.50 weekly. There are no dues, no red tape, no extras, no waiting. Simply select your piano from more than a dozen of America's best makes, pay us the first installment and we send you the piano at once, together with a stool to match, and no extra charge is made for delivery. In ad- dition each club member gets free life insurance, tuning and 20 free music lessons. The clubs are filling rapidly; In fact, we expect to fill the two clubs now forming in a few days. We are located during the erec- tion, of our new building at 416-418-420 Sprague Avenue, Between Stevens and Washington. WASHINGTON', P. C, Aug. 15. The Spokan Press, Delivered, for 25 Cents a Month.

TAKE A PUFF, PUFF, PUFF,BUT INSECL UDED NOOK

Ho Spokane women smoke ciga-rettes?

They do. Not to the extent thatthe Washington women smoke, per-haps, but?but ?

Well, they do say that a cozy lit-tle "all girls" smoker at Natato-rium park was rudely interruptedone afternoon last week and it isquite a common tiling to see a thinthread of smoke curling up abovefeathered hats in several cafeslate in the evening. The womenare well dressed and apparentlycome from the upper walks oflife. too. So says the little Sher-lock Holmes who has spotted theseiniquities.

Of course, the Spokane womenhaven't reached the point wherethey boldly flaunt their jeweledcigarette cases as they do inWashington.

?In this city where society Istinged with the foreign habits ofthe diplomatic set and where ciga-rette smoking is so common amongsociety women that it is no longerof much comment, there is astrong feeling that the anti-cigar-ette crusaders have been unfair indirecting their criticism at one ortwo individual women smokers.

The practice. It has been pointedout, is not confined to any especialfew, but is quite general amongfashionable women. As a regularfeature of practically every ultra-fashionable dinner party here, cig-arettes are usually provided forthe women. The old-fashioned ideaof the women leaving the men atthe table to smoke their cigaretteshas almost entirely disappeared,and now the men have their ciglarettes and liquor In one room andthe women have theirs in another.This is the way they do it at our

national capital, according to thepress dispatches:

MEMORIES.

Two things there are withMemory will abide.

Whatever else befall, whilelife flows by;

That soft, cold hand touch attho altar side;

The thrill that shook you atyour child's first cry.?Thos. Malley Aldrich.
