Sweaters" black, white and blue, are all
being purchased for bicycle costumes. They
are not belted in nor turned under, but are
allowed to wrinkle around the hips as nous
quetaire gloves wrinkle around the wrists;
hence they are unbecoming to any but slender
figures. However they are quite useful to
wear under light jacket for walk or ride

Fresh water is a most valuable disinfectant.
Vessels of cool fresh water seem to absorb the
impurities of the air. and are often used for
that purpose in a room where sick people are.
OF course. the very fact that it can take in the
impurities makes changing the water often,
imperative.

An important thing in caring for sick people
is if posi- ble to have the invalid in large room.
1t is almost impossible to keep the air fresh in
a small room where sick person is without
infieting much discomfort and, perhaps,
danger on him.

The best way to wash embroidery on linen
is to use cold or lukewarm water and lather
of fine CASTLE soar. TO not rub the soap on the
goods, but with the hands rub the lather in any
soiled parts. Wringing and rubbing are both
more or less Injurious to the color and stitches,
q ID any soiled spots should be pnched and
patted out in the lather Rinse the linen very
thoroughly in lukewarm water and hang it
where it will dry quickly. Let it become about
half dry, then iron, pressing it on thick fan
mel cloth to make the embroidery stand out
well, and, of course, only touching the wrong
side with the fatiron.

The way of handling bread as the table is q
sure indicator of breeding-good or otherwise.
II is not right to bite off mouthfuls from slices
of bread or cake or from crackers. These
things should be broken with the fingers into
small pieces. Big slices of bread shonld not be
buttered across; but the small pieces if de-
Sired can be buttered as each one is eaten.
Bread to be eaten with soup is generally not
buttered at all, but of course, if one specially
likes it buttered, it would be going too far to
say such a proceeding would be wrong. In
taking bread cake or cheese. or anything like
that, that is cut in slices or pieces always take
the whole piece as it is cut; do not break it
and leave part on the dish. You probably are
certain that your fingers are perfectly clean,
and others may not doubt it, but it is not nice
to handle food that some other person will
have to eat. 1t is not necessary to take your
knife fingers and heap whatever crumbs
may be on the cloth around your plate in a
little pile. The maid will attend to brushing
off the cloth in due time, and it does not look
seemy to put your hands on the table so ex-
tensively.
