If you are from New Kngland you surely have iui?t it, for Now England Is its home. The word means "an ornamental covering thrown over chairs, sofas, etc., to pre vent their being soiled by the hair." its derivation dates hack .to the ro mance of t lie days when American clipper .ships ranged all over the sev en seas and their bywaters. The hardy skippers of those days used to tiring home a substance pro duced on the Island of Celebes, in the eastern archipelago, named macassar oil, from the place where It was ob tained. There was a belief In those days that tills oil tended to retard or prevent baldness. So it was used in plentiful quantities by beaux and near-beaux. Hut the oil worked havoc with the parts of chnlrs and sofas whereon the aforesaid beaux reposed their shiney heads. So the New Kngland housewives, as a preventive, devised the antimacassar (sec the l.ntin "an ti," against). Thrifty ladles, weren't they? and neat beyond cavil! ? Chica go Journal.
