The summer boarder who has allotted

less. Books obstlnately refuse to lend
themselves TO any such accommoda-

The following method Of washing fan
nels, If closely followed, will prove thor
oughly satisfactory. Make good suds
by boiling piece OF ordinary yellow
soap IN soft water. Wash out the flannel
in this, scrubbing as hard as needed to re-
move the dirt, but taking care 10 rub no
soap on the goods. If it Is not clean
enough from this washing repeat the pro-
cess. Rinse out in clear warm water,
and il the flannel is white blue it, using
a much larger amount of the blueing than
would be required for cotton goods, as
the flannel does not take the color as
readily. Hang the garment to dry in a
shady spot, and while it is Still damp iron
it. White flannels treated in this way will
not become as yellow as il washe d in the
ordinary manner, nor Will they thicken to
the disagreeable fabric they so frequent
ly become. This method is especially
good for use in doing up babes tlannels,
which are thus kept soft and preserve the
blue-white tint that is so desirable.

Among the pretty novelties in baby
wear seen this fall are the dainty silk
headgear that are in shape a partial re-
vival of the Normandy caps SO popular
several years ago. These little Donnets
are generally either embroidered or lace
trimmed, and can easily be made by one
at all skilled in needlework. Half yard
OF surah is enough for one, so that they
possess the merit of cheapness. The
embroidery is on the front, as rule, the
high, pulled crown being left plain.
