TO WASH CHIFFONS

Dollars worth of chiffons are thrown
away because we don't know how to wash
them: In this age of smoke it is i'm.
possible for many of us to wear pretty
soft materials if they cannot be washed.
1t is a delicate matter to wash chiffons,
but for one who has patience and will
be careful it is possible.
Make lather of a good white soap
and soft warm water. adding a little
borax if the water is hard, and let the
lather stand until it is nearly cool Put
the chiffon into the water, small pieces al
time. Let it soak for awhile then
shake it gently around in the water but
never rub it. After the dirt is loosenet
so that the water is discolored and the
material seems to be cleaner. shake tn,
choffon out into a bath of cool clean
water; still shaking it around Continu,
the placing in clean baths until there no
trace. of cloudiness in the water. Into a
cup half full of water drop morsel of
gumarabic. let it dissolve add a few
drops of white vinegar and in this mix
ture dip the chiffon
Never squeeze or wiring the chiffon.
Place it between soft. white muslin and
pat it gently until the water is lightly
pressed out of it; then with moderately
hot iron press the fabric on the wrong
side with n thin paper between the iron
and the chiffon.

ENGLAND AND JAPAN
BALKED RUSSIA'S GAME

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.--Apropos of
the recent purchase of two battleships
from Chile by England and like num-
Der of cruisers from Argentina by Japan, a
little story is going around in diplomatic
circles that shows the friendly feeling Eng
land has for Japan beneath the surface.
Not 50 very long ago Chile and Argen-
tina agreed to reduce their navies, having
come to an amicable agreement ON vital
points At the time Chile had building
in England two fine battleships of about
1900 tons displacement. while in Italy
two equally efficient armored cruisers of
about 1900 tons each were almost CON-
pleted.
When the first breath Of war talk was
heard Russia. hearing these four ships were
on the market. opened negotiations for
them. The negotiations progressed so fav-
orably that all the diplomatic world was
sure Russia had secured four cracking good
additions to her navy
Naval officers declare these four ships
would have more than turned the scale in
favor of Russia in the far east. At the
last minute representatives of Great Brit
ain and Japan made such favorable offers

FANCY WAISTCOATS.

Variety in waistcoats is ESSENTIAL to the
well-dressed mans wardrobe. a man has
so few opportunities to indulge his tapste
for pretty things in. his dress that ex-
travagance in ties and waistcoats is ex-
cusable. q -
The present fancy allows much freedom
in the choice of waistcoats for Tuxedo
wear. Fancy black silk waistcoats are
worn more than the heavy figured moires
and armure silks. The white pique is al
ways neat and gives a certain smartness
that even silk cannot produce. Club men
who spend their evenings at the club are
reviving a style of the, 3Os by wearing
lavender. pearl gray and deep cream silk
waistcoats.
Day waistcoats are now made of cravat-
ting woven in patterns of two or three
colors. The waistcoat buttons are COW
cred with the same material. An inter
esting fancy is to have the buttons the
color of the prevailing shade in the gar
ment Sometimes the regular buttons
are colored arti6cially to match a certain
color.

and is more easily prevented than cured.
10 be sure, the disease is made worse by
worries ~and cares, but many of the wor-
ries and cares would roll off, if we were
not predisposed to the blues" by tor
pid liver or a bad stomach.
If you are happy it is largely to your
own credit That is indeed true. 1t
is to ones credit to find out what agrees
with his stomach and eat those things.
If you are miserable it is your own
fault. If one eats of food which he
knows will injure him he has no one to
blame but himself.
1t is to be doubted that VIM. Dewitt
Hyde had anything like the stomach and
liver in mind when he wrote the above
sentence; in fact, the introduction of
stomach and liver seems almost indicate
when dealing with such an aristocratic
term as optimism. But the hard truth
remains that if ninety out of ninety-one
of the pessimists took care to eat well
sleep, well and take exercise in the open
air there would be a very large per cent
of optimists in this world of ours.

OPTIMISM AND THE STOMACH

Whether we shall be optimists or
pessimists depends partly on tempera-
ment. but chiefly on will. If you are
happy, it is largely to your own credit.
If you are miserable, it is chiefly your
own fault" That is what VIM. Dewitt
Hyde says. Readers may interpret as
they see fit, but the present interpreta-
ton has to do with the condition of one s
health and its effect upon optimism.
This is not to be an advertisement for
patent medicine, but if one finds him
self looking upon the black side of things,
while searching for the mental cause
for this let him look also to his stomach
and try to remember what he has eaten
that has disagreed with him.
We hear and talk and read about the
"blues.' never thinking that nine cases
out of every ten of the blues can be
traced to some sin against the animal
man. We are likely to look upon the
"blues" as something we can dispel with
smile. while in reality it is a disease
