to be tested, and dissolve in it half
teaspoonful Of granulated sugar. Cork
1t and set it in warm place for two
days. If during this time it becomes
cloudy or milky, it is unfit for domes-

HOW to Remove Paint stains.

A fresh paint stain on wooden goods
will disappear If rubbed against other
wooden goods. For instance, If the stain
Is on the sleeve of a coat, take that
garment off and rub the paint against
the other sleeve. 1t will disappear and
leave no sign. This Is easier than ap-
plying turpentine and exactly as eflca-
cious, but it must be done while the
paint Is still wet.

Flowers should be arranged accord
ing to their natural clusters. Thus
those growing in large groups should
be arranged in mass, while those
growing separate and apart from their
fellows are more effective in lighter
profusion.
The materials of the vase must not
attract attention. For wild flowers,
especially, the simpler and more rus
tic the character Of the receiver, the
better. The color must be unobtru-
sive, for the attention must be devot-
ed to the flower, not the vase. White
or green glass vessels, or those of opal
tints, are often extremely effective if
they harmonic with the color of the
flowers and leaves. Opaque white
neutral gray or gray buff are desir-
able.
Whether the flowers are placed in
vessels transparent or Opaque depends
greatly upon the character of the
stem, l.. e. whether in itself the stem
be graceful or awkward.

FOR WOMAN'S EYE.
SEPTEMBER WILD FLOWERS.

Ragged and frayed in September
dress, but withal, there is a beauty
peculiarly its own, says Country Life
in America. So would we fain be
ever afield. The botanists strolling
over the hills and through the swamps
realizes this is practically the end of
the flower year. AS in the previous
month, the flowers are very largely
composite. The goldenrods, the asters
and the suntiowers lend vivid patches
OF color to the prospect. There are
comparatively few new flowers to be
sought for.
However there are several, the find.
ing of which will be among the cal.
endar events of the year. Perchance
it is that in the latter part of the
month our wanderings may lead you
to the retreat of the most beautiful of
all fall blossoms, the fringed gentian.
Its color is of heavens own hue, and
it delicate beauty is so elusive as to
defy most skilful brush Of the artist
Who can forget the first introduction
to these floral beauties of the fall
meadows. TwJ other but less hand
some cousins, the stiff gentian and the
closed gentian, also come this month.
Damp places are made beautiful by

called the wild sunfiower, whose

ing greeting to the passerby.
Another of September flower folk
robed in blue or violet is the smooth
or blue aster found in dry soils and
open woods. \ familiar little friend
with whom almost everyone is &C
quainted, the white heath aster, some.
times called white rosemary or fare
well summer, is found in dry soil
everywhere Not far distant you are
sure to find the wavy aster or small
firebane, with its thick, rough, heart
shaped lower leaves. The yellow of
the witchhazel also gladdens the eye
of the loiterer in September woodlands
and thickets.

Ostrich feathers are always popular
in the winter millinery, and they will
be the trimming par excellence for
picturesque hats for dress occasions,
But flowers and foliage will not be
utterly discarded. Hats especially APP
propriate for fall are of autumn leaves
with folds of velvet of harmonizing
hue; for instance hat covered with
oak leaves in the various tints of
brown and dull red has broad bow
made of velvet ribbon in the two
shades at the back. Some of the new
shaggy felt hats are trimmed with
flowers of shaded velvet The vogue
of the" parrot shades" as they are
popularity called, will not pass with
the summer Exquisite effects in
plumage for autumn hats are achieved
in the combination of vivid green and
brilliant blue Boston Record

There is French aphorism that
says: Woman should always appear
at her best for her husband. - 1t
would be small wonder indeed, if
less marital detection would result
from better understanding of the
home attire by the average woman
who regards today the lessening at
tentions of her life partner as a remis-
sion on his part, and fails to under
stand the mission on her side. There
is nothing like pretty clothes and well
of any woman's power of attrac-
ton. 1t doesn't take money; it sim
ply takes good taste, sense and a prop
er view of fitness for fit occasions.

The old-query, 'Who's got the but

from, gun metal, dull silver and
enamel being especially appropriate
for cheviots, cloths and other rather
heavy fabrics, while for dainty, deli
