TO CLEAN CARPETS.
Care and Strength Are Needed, But q
Can BE Done at Home.

Care and Strength Are Needed, But at
Can BE Done at Home.
II is often the case that accidents
happen when one is far away from a
cleaners or when, perchance, the
carpet may not be worth the expense
of the professionals services, but
would be extremely useful if put in
good order
A simple and eifcctual means of
cleaning it is to rip the breadths apart,
if the carpet is large; take one breadth
at D time over common kitchen table
or wide board and scour with prepared
soapsuds, il necessary, or naphtha. If
that substance is to be used, scrub
the carpet thoroughly with an ordinary
scrub brush If the washing is done
with soapsuds, il is well to rinse the
carpet thoroughly, which may be done
by throwing on pailfuls of water
and scrubbing it out with the brush to
rid the fabric of the suds as nearly as
may be II the carpet shows
symptoms of fading, or If the colors
threaten to run, il is quite worth while
to go over ii again and again with the
brush and with soft cloths and re.
move the water rs rapidly as possible,
meanwhile having the board or table
tipped at an angle so as to allow all
surplus water to drain away as quickly
as II can. This Is rather slow work
and hard work; but If well done, the
result will be carpet entirely cleaned,
perfectly wholesome and quite good
enough for an upper room or for the
rugs and pieces that are required In
every house.

It's a pity I can't remember which is

the thumb and hand ride astraddle,
but have the whole hand come for

AT any rate, at all the girls luncheons
and the formal afternoons you will
get the somewhat independent effect
of the fashion. Its way the new
woman has of emphasizing uncon-
sciously her consciousness of her posi-
ton. Possibly, too, it's sleeves. 1t sets
them out, certainly. At one Of the re-
cent functions | watched a young
married woman in whose case it
seemed to be the pride of matronhood
and-a trousscau. Her frock was of a
blue shade of steel called Valkyrie,
with round, close-fitting waist, full
collarette and epaulettes of lace, big
sleeves striped of blue and STEEL dark
blue velvet throat b nd and blue velvet
rosettes dotted wherever there was op-
portunity.
Another up-to-date costume worn a
bit theatiically wasof smooth red cloth
of the shade of the American Beauty
rose, made with partially open jacket
to show vest of emerald green velvet.
Double waist flounces below the bodice
were of the cloth and Of the contrast

1t May BE Acquired by Anyone Following
These Directions
A beautiful hand Is not always posi-
ble 10 acquire, but thoroughly we'll
kept one may be had without the art Of
manicure, and by even simpler meas
ures than these recommended in Vogue:
To begin with, the hands should always
be washed in very hot water, or, better
yet, In warm oatmeal water. Failing
this, few drops Of tincture Of benzoin
In the water add greatly TO the white
ness and softness Of the skin, and also
conduce to the beautifying of the nails
When the hands are thoroughly clean,
rinse them in clean, warm water, into
which a teaspoonful of almond meal
has been thrown. Dry the hands on
soft towel and Immediately rub them
with the following mixture: One part
pure glycerine, one part lemon juice,
one part rosewater. This can be pre-
pared either for immediate use or kept
In bottle for three or four days at
time
Twice q week the nails may be
rubbed with this varnish: Half an
,unce pistachio oil. so grains table salt.

II belongs little on one side of her
head, and yet she's the demurest girl
living. She won't talk to any one Of
the twenty. That's why they find her
eyes and her rosy brown gown so inter-
esting.
There were some fine gowns at the
annual dinner of Sorosis Wednesday.
The good ladies let men in only once a
year, and so they dress better than
common on that occasion. A pale-pinls
silk striped with white satin family
patterned with pink carnations is one
that | remember. The bodice was Of
white silk with dainty edge of maid
en- hair ferns about the low corsage.
A white embroidered chiffon was
even prettier. 1t was draped over white
silk and caught up both on the skirt
and ON the fun, simple bodice with
roses and green leaves.
At one Of the fashionable church
weddings this week the prettiest
bridesmaid wore "a piquant gown 1t
was OF pale-green silk with a smart
rcdingote embroidered in gold and
cllocd with sable fur A pointed belt
bordered with black velvet and gold
embroidered served mainly as the
starting point for. two velvet ribbons
which ran up through the smart little
shoulder cape or collarette, piercing
the silk, holding Il down and tying on
the shoulders.

Not Right,

Some time ago a man went to visit a
friend who was an inmate of a lunatic
asylum. After a prolonged chat in
humorous if not very edifying vein, the
visitor thought it about time to go.
"ls that clock right, JoclS?" he asked
of the inmate. Jock gazed at him for
minute or so in speechless amazement,
then, laying his hand compassionately
on his shoulder, said:
