De prettv much the same treatment APP
-,;ad ~ dress-shields will enable one to
P nair indefinitely. But in warm
wsather they should be washed very
.sgnlarly in hortshorn and tepid water,
md then bleached dry in the hot sun.
n this way every trace OF stain and
odor is obliterated.
Another thing about which women
are apt to be careless is the proper sun
ninr and airing of their wool garments.
Men of refinement are most particular
70 see that each wooden suit is hung
out of doors after single wearing, as
thew realize that colored worsteds
never quite lose the smell of dye, and
also contract an unpleasant animal
odor even when the person is kept
scrupulously clean.
In this matter it is wise to give both
skirts and coats an occasional summing,
and winter as well as summer whist
Innings will become somewhat unpleas-
ant after continued use. An easy and
eficacious way of refreshing them is
to use water dashed with ammonia,
and lightly applied with small stiff
brush. It's not necessary to let the
moisture penetrate the goods, but if
deftly done only the lining is allowed
to get wet.
Precisely the sa me measures will
prevent the ugly smell of perspiration
that so often renders ones high shoes
bit disagreeable. By brushing the
lining as described above and allowing
ones boots to remain several hours in
the strong sunshine they can be readily
kept in good condition. Indeed for
everything except delicately tinted
fabrics that fade readily frequent
sun bath is heartily recommended.
Among people of limited means there
is a popular superstition that frequent
changes of underclothing is gross
extravaganza. On the contrary, if
properly managed, nothing is more
economical in hot weather than to
wear fresh suit of linen every day.
When one walks much it is a matter Of
sheer necessity to have clean stockings
every morning.
Nor is anything easier than to rub
out pair of hose in basin kept for
the purpose with CASTLE soap, and in
two changes of water the job is
complete in five minutes, and
pinned where they catch a
breeze the stockings dry imme-
diately. With half dozen pair of
hose and determination to be tidy The
poorest woman can be as eharmingly
dainty as bloated bondholder's wife.
Nor is it impossible to follow this
same plan with cambria garments. II
left to soak in lather of soap and wa
ter over night and rinsed clear,in the
morning, they are as fresh as need be.
OF course they must be thoroughly
Numbered once week, and such per-
functory washings only apply where
clothes are not actually soiled, but feel
sticky and awry. No scrubbing or in
Jury to the hands is necessary, and
'un through small mangle they come
'ut smooth and delightfully."- fresh in

Each and every one of these sugges-
ions means saving of money, as
clothes from which the perspiration is
quickly removed last longer, stockings
wear better when frequently changed,
