spread them for the entire length with
out folding that the size of the trunk
VIII allow II not, spread out with great
care in the folds, which are naturally
taken when held in an upright position
and turn over smoothly at the top.
Shake wraps from the shoulders, lay
them out in the folds which they natur-
ally take. with great care smooth the
sleeves n turn the fronts over on the
back. smoothing and adjusting all trim
mings and frills so as to avoid horizontal
creases.
1t is impossible so to fold a garment
as to avoid all lines, but those taken
lengthwise of the cloth readily disappear
and are also little noticed, as they take
the direction of the folds formed by the
garment itself.
Jackets, however, must be so managed
as to show not a crease. Loose bodices
require tissue paper for the support of
puffs and the like, but they can be saved
from much rumpling if spread out in the
trunk and folded as little as possible.
Then pack close and tight.
Reluctant as we are to bear down upon
our fnery, packing that is well and
scientifically done will injure them less
than being thrown in a heap at cn1 end
of the trunk. Stocking and small wear
can be used to wedge corners.
Skirts, night dresses and white wear
can be spread between dress skirts and
bodices of silk and organdie, and so made
to serve as protection and economic

Hats should be packed firmly SO as not
to move. and for this purpose any light
article, such as handkerchiefs, mouchoir
cases or soft and pliable objects that will
not crush or injure the fashionable head
gear, may be used.
It is well to remember
That a clean apron worn while hanging
the clothes helps to keep them clean.
That a pair of white gloves or mittens
are a comfort to hands in zero weather;
also a close-ftting jacket and hood to
keep one from catching cold.
That the line, as soon as it's duty is
ended. should be reeled III and placed in
a bag until next time.

lowed to lie together many wrinkles ac-
cumulate.
That clothes carefully folded and
sprinkled are half ironed,
That dish towels and common towels
can be irolfed just as well in half the
time If folded together onee as if ironed
singly.
That sheets folded across. bringing the
wide and narrow hens together. then
folded again, then ironed across both
sides, are finished quickly and look as
well as if more time were spent on. them.
That pillow slips should be ironed
1engthwise instead of crosswise if one
wishes to iron wrinkles out instead of in.
It is not generally understood that
Gertrude Hall, the author, is a sister
of Marguerite Hall, The equally we'll
known singer. 1t is about fifteen years
since the latter made her debut, at that
time under her pet name of Daisy"
Some ten or twelve years 6 Mrs.
Frances Hodgson Burnett introduced
the other to the notice of a larger read
l1S L t111A 1ao DV1O40 Ahc SOOiAF
from time to time, a few poems signed
by Gertrude Hall, in the columns of the
Boston daily press. The fame of both
sisters grew rapidly, based on the truest
merit.
AS limited above, Mrs. Burnett is an
intimate friend of the literary sister,
with whom she is often to be met at
social functions. and with whom she
is usually remarked and remarkable,
for the taste in dress of both the author
of s.Fauntleroy'' and of 1.-THE Hundred"
is outre and so markedly different from
that of every one else that they are no
ticeable figures everywhere.
Orange juice is one of the best dress
ings for black shoes or boots. Take a
slice or quarter of IN orange and rub
1t on the shoe or boot; then, when dry.
brush with a soft brush until the shoe
shines like a looking glass.
This is an English recipe. Another
fruit dressing is for tan shoes, the in
side OF a hanna skin. Rub the skin all
over the shoe thoroughly, wipe off care
fully with a soft cloth, briskly. Patent
leather shoes should net be polished
with blacking. These are the hardest
kim of shoes to keep looking well and
require constant care.
They may be cleared with a damp
sponge Immediately dried with 9
soft cloth, with occasionally a little
yaseline or sweet Oil. They must never
be donned in cold water without heat
ing, or they will crack as soon as ex
posed to the cold air.

Nothing so delightful as the latest
.picture'' hats for children has been seer
in many a day. One hat, specially de
signed for the closing fete of school this
| month, is a dream in childish beauty.
The hat itself is an immense poke, o.
| pale yellow straw, with the front filled
with tiny yellow roses and green leaves.
The top of the hat has a ruffle of vel
| low chiffon, into which is set a large bow
| of white taffeta ribbon. which terminates
| in streamers that tie under the chin. a
| little gown of buff. cambria. trimmed with
| white needlework, is worn with it.
So
The advent of the small sleeve has
| simplfied the packing problem consider
ably. The puffs are no longer there il
| their former voluminorsness to requirt
| reams of tissue paper. The paper, how
ever. can be ~proftably transferred to tht
pouch fronts of thin dresses n to the
neck bands and sleeves of shirt waists
| Evening slippers and, indeed, any shoes
