BLOUSES TO LOOK
as FRESH KS WHEN NEW
An Art Is Required to Properly Remove Spots and
Cleanse Garments

An easy way Of washing either white
or colored shirt waists and blouses IS
TO wet them in cold water and rub well
with a pure naphtha soap, rinse thor
fully blue all white pieces. except silks.
COlored waists should not be put
through bluing.
To preserve all shades OF blue and
purple, put two good tablespoonfuls of
vinegar to a gallon Of rinsing water.
The naphtha in the soap brightens all
ysllows and greens, while salt used
in place O. the vinegar stays the col
or from running in black. gray black
and white. and indigo. Pale blue can
be improved by rinsing in alum and
water.
To add TO their freshness and to help
in keeping them clean, ali cotton and
linen waists should be put through a
boiled starch. hung out in the shade
until thoroughly dried. then sprinked
and rolled tight and kept until the
irgns are hot. Silk blouses should be
ironed before :hey are entirely dry and,
OF course, are not starched.
To Iron Properly.
The most difficult part OF laundering
blouses and waists is the ironing. First
of all the irons must be scrupulously
clean and free from hicks in the surface.
or 1t will be next to impossible to Sc
cure a smooth, Unwrinkled looking gar
ment. Then. too, the ironing board musf
be covered with thick pieces of felt or
blanket, and perfectly fresh piece of
linen sheet, tablecloth. or muslin, made
specially TO fit the board. should be
stretched taut that there will be
no crease to rumple the waists When
the irons are sufficiently warm the col
ored blouses should be done. but hot
ones are necessary TO give the desired
finish TO white pieces. Begin with the
friIls, bands, and lace. The Iatt sr and
all embroidery should be irOned on the
wrong side and under an extra pad OF

flannel TO bring out the design in the
pattern
Tucks should first be irOned cross
ways, pulled out. and then done length
wise
The bodice should be ircned first on
the right side, working upward toward
the neck Finally DO the sleeves. For
these use a sleeve board. and iron first
on the wrong side and finish on the
right. If there Is no sleeve board. take
the sleeve by the seam and lay fat or
the table, iron up toward the gathers.
turn the sleeve over and repeat Turn
on TO the right side and repeat. Finally
fold the sleeve so that the outer part,
from the elbow TO the armhole. lies on
top. When this bit is done the sleeve
is finished Use care so as not 10 fiatten

Care of Ae Eyes.

Bathing with equal part OF witch hazel
and water is very restful to the eyes.
Another plan is to bathe the eyes with
warm water In which are dissolved a
pinch OF powdered borsx and two ~
three drops of spirits OF camphor.
The Washington times., 1906-04-04

Apply alcohol immediteIy TO the spot
from which 2 black speck has been
taken. Afterward use the following
preparation: Orange-hOwer water, eight
ounces. and tincture of benzoin. two

tion. so as 10 produce an opalescent
milky nuid Apply 10 the face two OF

The Washington times., 1906-04-04

The creams used for the complexion
are bad for the eye. and should never
be applied near the eyelashes. On ne
account should the eyes be touched
with lotions or ointments except under
the supervision of an oculist.

A girl who can make her winter
blouses and waists look fresh for use
during the rest of the season will not
only save pocket money, but will add
much TO her personal appearance For
II she understands how TO take out spots
and to cleanse the garments properly
they win look almost like new with
comparatively little work. This reno
waiting can all be done in her room at
night or early in the morning. If she is
a working girl, although in taking out
stains, etc, II is best to have the sun
shine TO work in.
In Dry Cleaning
In dry cleaning a waist. unless a per-
son has had experience with the, same
kind. the best plan is to apply the
cleanser TO the bottom or part that
will not show. to make sure Just how
the colors will be affected by the clean
ing. A soiled silk waist may be made
fresh looking by applying spirits of wine
with a clean sponge French chalk put
on with a piece of clean white linen or
! calico has the same effect on silk Gin

the marks will have quite disappeared.
All these remedies. as rule. may De

To Remove Port Wine Stains
Il Is not generally known that a port
| wine stain. II treated at once while stli
wer. can be removed with sherry Rub
tho sherry in with dry cloth and

Tea stains and most of those from
fruits. except cherry juice, can be taken
out by covering the spots with fine table
salt and then saturating them with
lemon. and later putting the garments
out i'm the air in a sunny place for sew
eral hours.
Iron rust can be removed by the same
application of lemon. salt. and air, and
for the girl who iaunders her own
wash waists the knowledge of how to
remove these stains will be valuable

DYNAMITE USED ON NEGRO
SCHOOL HOUSE,.
There Was Some Feeling Between
Rival Negro Factions In Seneca, And
White People May Not Have Had
Anything 10 DO with Plot.


Seneca. October ls.-(speciall-Dynamite
building Of Ha-reli College, negro
educational insltut on in this plac, +,
before daylight III 10 luerning. The ructure
was in process OF erection and though almost
mpeLed, was unUccupied. II was worth
between 81, 900 and 81 500, and owed It's exist
eoce 70 money sent down south from the ne
North. The town authorities are ma King an
investigation, but no arrests have been re-
ported as yet. Though damaged, the build
Ing can he repaired.
Feeling bttween the races in this section
has always been and there seems TO have
been no motive for the deed except malicious
mischief on the part OF some irresponsible
person or persons.
1t msy be said, however, that there Is
another negro college, or educational institu-
tion in Seneca, which has been In operation
for several years. There is said TO be good
deal OF rivalry, approaching bad feeling be-
tween certain supporters OF one Institution
for those connected with the other. 1t Is
possible that when traced down the motive
may be found In this anlipsthy on the part
Of one set Of negroes for the other. This is
supposition, however.
J. F. Williams, q negro preacher, is at the
head OF the Harsil school. He has been
respected by the whites, though be is not
popular with the people generally OF his oWp
race. He isa Presbyterian, ]. 9. Starke.
Baptist preacher, 10 at the head OF the other
school. He, TOO, IL We'll thought OF and Is
popular with bis own race as we'll as res pect-
ed by the white people, Starkes school be-
longs 10 the negro Baptists OF South Carolina.
While no suspicion whatever attaches to
Starke. It is thought possible by some that
one or more OF the ignorant adhereuts OF his
cause may have attempted 10 wreck the
Williams Institution.
However, II cappot be denied that there is
In Seneca, as In other communities, num-
beI OF white people capable OF conceivlng and
executing just such plot as the attempt to
dynamite The Harrell school. The lown ia
quiet tonight, and no trouble is anticipated.
