SUMMER CARE or BLANKETS.

Blankets which have been used all win
ter, no matter how white, are never clean,
and should be washed before putting away.
Many housekeepers satisfy themselves by
shaking and airing their blankets rather
than risk spelling them in washing. But
this is a mistake, for if the work is prop
erly done no shrinking will take place, and
the feecy soft appearance may be retained,
as we'll the color, for years. The necessary
thing in washing blankets is to have plenty
of soft water and good pure soap. Inferior
soap is really the cause of the damage
done wooden goods in washing. 1t harden
the fibre and yellows the fabric. When
ready to begin the work shake tn blar :
kets free of dust, fill 3 tub half full OF hot
water. Dissolve a third of a cake OF Ivory
Soap in it. Put one blanket in at a time
Dip up and down and wash gently with
the hands. Never rub soap on blankets,
or wash them on the dashboard After
the blankets are clean, rinse in warm water
until free of suds. Add little bluesng TO
the last water. Shake and squeeze; then
hang on the line until dry Take down.

and pack securely in a box and cover.
Blankets thus washed will retain their
original freshness as well as wear three

WHITE TOPAZ.
Beautiful Stones to BE Seen at tho
Diamond Palace.


Every day in the week and every
hour in the day one can see crowds
around the show windows of THE
CHICAGO DIAMOND PALACE. The
cause of it all is the now widely known
White Topaz. The White Topaz, or
carbonated diamonds, have come to be
recognized as the nearest thing on
earth to genuine diamonds, so near in
deed is it that the proprietors of the
DIAMOND PALACE do not hesitate to
place real diamonds in their windows
amidst their display OF White Topaz,
and allow the public to pick them out
al the selling price of the Topaz.
The latter stones have all the lovely
brilliancy OF the diamonds, sparkling
steadily and with wonderful fire The
thousands OF these stones i'm the win
dows forms one OF the most gorgeous
displays and has proven an attraction
which is one OF the features OF Chi
cago.
In order to and out the advertising
medium best suited 10 their business.
this enIerprising concern offers to send
a genuine White Topaz 10 all those
who will cut out and send them their
advertisement, which appears else
where in this paper, together With 25c
In stamps.
THE DIAMOND PALACE, like all
successful institutions, has many imi-
tators. who endeaVor TO sell cheap
rhinestones and other pastes claiming
they are topaz. We caution the pub
lie to be careful, as THE DIAMOND
PALACE, American Express building,
Chicago. are the sole importers Of these
stones.

and unique points. The music is de-
lightful-just enough Spanish coloring
to lend charm and dash to 1t and yet
maintain the genuine Herbert ring.
The orchestration, solos, and concerted
numbers, from overture to finale are
all excellent. Every now and then the
orchestra breaks forth in such droll
little suggestive snatches, it is quite
laughable without the aid of the IL
bretto. In fact 1t is all so unsteady
satisfying it is refreshing. Miss Hilda

the company as prima donna for about
a year, still makes most beautiful
