piled:

patient. A little time is required for
the heat Of the fermentation to pene-
trate the dry flannel, and thus the skin
Is allowed an opportunity to acquire
tolerance of the heat, and a greater
degree of temperature can he borne
than If the moist cloth is brought di-
rectly in contact with the surface.
A fermentation is sometimes needed
when no hot water is at hand. Soak
the flannel in cold water, wiring as dry
as desired, fold in a newspaper and lay
upon the stove or wrap it about the
stovepipe. In few minutes it will
be as warm as the patient can bear.
The paper keeps the pipe from becom-
ing moistened by the wet flannel, and
at the same time prevents the flannel
from being soiled by contact with the
pipe. lamentations thoroughly ap-
piled will relieve most of the local
pains for which liniments, lotions and
poultices are generally applied, and
are greatly to be preferred to these
remedies. since they are cleaner and
aid nature more effectually in restoring
the parts to q sound condition.

Removing Stains.

c. M. D. has dress of light-gray
material upon which there is a stain
of axle grease, and she would like to
know what will remove it. Answer:
Such stains are among the most diff
cult to take out, and if the dress is
valuable one it is not worth while to
try. 1t is far better to send it to pro-
fessional cleaner. If, however, you
wish to undertake the job yourself, get
a couple of gallons of naphtha, and af-
ter spreading the soiled portion over
jar, pour the naphtha slowly over it,
letting it fall into the jar. Continue
this for some time, then place the
goods over section of old linen and
pat it gently with roll of linen. Do
not rub or wiring the material, as this
only makes matters worse. If this
treatment will not remove the stain a
new breadth is the only remedy.

border of hearts cut in the leather.
Decorating = Room.

Musical has large parlor which is
about one-quarter longer than it's
width. She thinks she would like to
make MUSHROOM of it, and asks how
it should be decorated. Answer:
There is nothing better than medium
shade of yellow-just about the tint
that gold would be if it were entirely
without gloss or finish. Make the walls
of this shade, then put on picture
holdings of bright gold. Or give the
walls warm gray tint and then
brighten them with gold. Green tints
are also much liked, and some people
favor terra Gotta, while others think
it too close and stuffy-looking. Walls
all in one color are in better taste for
this purpose than those done in pat
tern. You may have one or two gilt
holdings, according to fancy-one for
pictures and one close to the ceiling.
Very great care is necessary in fitting
up room of this sort that the tints
and tones do not clash.

Marion asks: l. Is there any virtue
in amber beads? Also, if amber is
ever white? .. What are some of the
finest waltzes? 3. Do ostrich plumes
ever curl naturally? Answer: /. AM
Der is slightly electric. Physicians
would probably say that there is no
special virtue in the substance. Am
Der may have faded or grown lighter
in color, but probably is never entire
ly white in its natural state. 9. Call at
any of the local music stores. 3. There
are no ostrich plumes that will always
stay in curl if they become damp.
What are known as wild EGYPTIAN
feathers are very firm, glossy and
bright. and will not grow stringy and
dragglet SO readily as those of other
sorts; but they are almost entirely out
of use. Very few wild plumes are to
be found. All those now sold are from
tho domcsticated birds. and are not so

A woman who was very fastidious
about her shoes and had craze for odd
things went down to Chinatown and in
vested in a pair of Chinese slippers
The slippers for women were all too
small, so she had to get the mems size.
They were heavy, with wooden soles,
so she bought fieece-lined soles for
them, which kept them from hurting
her feet and made a pretty bedroom
slipper. These slippers were of pale
blue satin, embroidered in gold and fin
ished at the top with a dark shade of
blue embroidered satin.
The satin slipper, with high tongue
and trimmed with fur, is favorite of
American make. Some prefer the soft
red Russia leather slippers without

Gowns for the House.

10 receive caller in costume that
suggests the intimacy of the bolldoir
implies subtle compliment, and this
is point that the American is begin
ming to understand thoroughly. These
gowns are put through every grade of
variety, till in the elaborate effect of
the most formal there is the merest
suggestion or aroma of boudoir sane
tlty to set in flutter the heart of the
lucky fellow who thus believes himself
to be especially favored. The word
aroma" is used advisedly, for the
cleverest of our bellies now assign a
special perfume to their dressing-r room,
and to the gowns worn therein. No
matter how apparently formal be the
receiving dress, if this faint perfume
can be detected about it, however
slightly-well, his heart may with rea-
son pit-a-pat.
Among the many models for these
dresses is one entirely new. 1t is a
princess gown, fitting without trace of
wrinkle from throat to we'll over the
hips, falling closely about the feet and
lies in coiling train. A jaunty en-
pire jacket, built in whipped-cream
billowy puffs about the ears and the
back of the neck, is then slipped on.
A very short yoke fits to the bust line
and at the back extends to between the
shoulders. The skirts of the jacket
are full and boxed, and are cut off jaun-
tily short so that as the wearer moves
the close swathing of the form by the
under gown shows. The princess gown
may be of satin, crepe or soft wool;
the jacket of velvet lined with satin,
and should be a shade darker than the
underdress. Pearl gray broadcloth in
very light weight and stone velvet for
the jacket is lovely combination, or
delicate lavender and deep violet.
Such rig is one of the more formal
notifications of the boudoir effect, and
in many wardrobes would be replaced
by such dress as that pictured here,
one that is essentially an indoor dress,
but without the boudoir character s.
tics. 1t was in Russian green l.
mere, and it's draped bodice opel-ed
over a guimpe of green silk yelled with
