To Clean Ostrich Feathers

Make lather of pure soap with a
little ammonia in it, using about a
quart of water or more if the feathers
are very large. Move them to and
fro gently in this, then lightly press
them stem to tip between the thumb
and finger and do the same in an
equal amount of clear hot water.
Repeat in cold water, slightly tinted
with blue. Hang feathers up to dry
where there is draft and shake at in
tervals. Before quite dry gently shake
them before a gas stove or they can
be partially dried by steam over a pan
of quick boiling water and finished as
directed. Comb carefully and curl
any stray strands with a silver knife

Always allow cold water to run over
sardines before using them for sand
wiches or serving them whole. The
oil used to cover them is rarely of the
best and sometimes it is positively
bad. The delicate flavor of the fish
is not affected by the cold water.
Ribbons may be freshened, if not too
much soiled, by sponging with weak
ammonia water and hanging for a few
minutes in the fresh air. They should
then be put between pieces of white
tissue paper and ironed with irons as
hot as can be used without scorching.

chiIdren's Names in syria.

In Syria the names of children are
very odd. They suggest those of our
Indians, inasmuch as the child's name
is apt to be something which occurred
at the time of it's birth-something
which interested the parents. If a
child falls sick, his name is imme-
diately changed. Instead of his pa
rents thinking that piece of pie or
too much pudding disagreed with him,
they attribute his sickness to the fact
that his name did not agree with him.
When one understands what these
names are, one does not wonder that
the child may have fallen sick be-
cause of them! When the children
get angry they call each other names
very much as children have a habit
of doing the world over What is
strange to us is that they do not heap
abuse on their enemy, but on his faith

The farther back the angry one can

Niohtcaps That Scent the Hair.

If you want to be in the very latest
fashion you must wear scented hair,
especially in the ballroom. There are
various ways of imparting a delicate
aroma to the tresses. The newest
takes the form of dainty little night
cap, which is cunningly scented and
imparts to the hair during the hours
of sleep a delightful aroma. This is,
of course, only a very old idea re-
vived; that the ancients of luxurious
habits scented their hair is a matter
of history. 1t should be an almost
impalpable odor that is chosen-one
that will suggest an atmosphere of
sweet, fresh violets, and nothing more

twisted and drawn through the body

Because heavy linen embroidery in

of costumes it does not follow-nor
was it ever intended to mean-that
any old half-soiled bit might be put
to service in that way. Yet the craze
has led to this abuse, and ruined
many an otherwise new and pretty
