Coffee stains should be wet with cold,
soft water before being put into the
wash, and will usually be found all
right when the laundrying is done. A
surer way is to run boiling water
through the fabric, which will carry
away the stain at once. Where an
especially fine damask suffers from this
cause tits recommended to apply mix
ture made from the solution OF yolk OF
egg in clear water, with few drops OF
wine added. Allow the solution to pene-
trate the fabric thoroughly. then wash
out with clear, soft water and the stain
will be gone.
An excellent mixture for preserving
the complexion, easily made at home, is
as follows: Take wineglaSsful OF the
best French orange flower water. Add
a tiny pinch Of carbonate OF soda and
two teaspoonfuls of glycerlne. Melt a
piece of camphor the size of pea and
three teaspoonfuls OF cologne water ana
add to the orange flower water. Shake
the whole for five minutes. Apply to
the face every night.
Most people like to have a shawl OF
wrap of some kind on the lounge. One
made specially for this purpose, that
can be tossed and wound about without
looking so muSSed as shawl is sure to
do, is made Of strips OF crocheted
worsted, using the bright odds and ends
left over from other work. Make these
strips two yards long and eight Inches
hn aItprnatnn with
strips of solid color. Of cloth, velvet, or
patchwork, making a very pretty rug.
1t should be lined with some soft
WOODEN goods-an old wooden dress
ripped I'D and dyed a soft color will do.
The edges should be bound together
with a heavy cord and the cover and
lining knotted together with firm knots
i'm diamonds, farther apart than the
knotting for quilt would be. This
makes very comfortable and bright
"sIumber-rug," as those lounge covers
are often called.
Keep a thing for seven years and it
will come into fashion again, is an old
saving that has never been erased from
the notebook Of proverbs. The long
gold chains that were at one time the
nopular things for watches are to turn
IN this winter as muff chains.
If YOU have not got one, II your
mother or YOUR grandmother have al
lowed theirs to be cut up into other
trinkets, then you must go to your jew
eler and buy one. This is the dictate OF
la mode, and you had better be dead
than out of fashion.
Co-education is carried \out to the
most practical details i'll the st. Law
renee college, one Of the earliest OF CO.
educational institutions. During the
recent campaign the Republican club
| included both young women and men III
| its membership, and together they
marched from the college to the town
hall through a pouring rain to listen
TO sneakers on the issues of the cam
paign. 1t was one of the faculty OF
this institution who many years age
answered the question OF Mortified
English lady as to what form OF dlsct
pline the school adopted when men ano
women were allowed to study together:
"The college has no rules, madam. The
young women don't require any, and
they discipline the young men witt
their very presence. We really have
nothing to do about it"
Rev. Edward E. Hale seconds Mis-:
Wizards nomination of Jean IngeloN
for poet-laureate. "a queen should have
a woman for her laureate" writes DR.
Hale in the Boston Commonwealth
"Victoria is to look among the womer
of England to know who-has written, Of
who can write, such poems as shall
honor reign now more than half cen
tury long, which has literature of 1t:
own. as in all other regards it has it;
own distinctive history. This woman i:
Jean lngeloW."
Turpentine has almost as many use.
