Cleaning White Silk.

To wash white taffeta and other
white silks, proceed as follows:
Having made strong suds by boil
ing CASTLE soap in soft water, allow
1t to cool to blood heat or 100 de-
erees, and wash the silk in it by
swishing it about and lightly press,
ing out the Water with the hands.
Dip the goods into suds Of the same
kind; press the water out once more
and hang in an airy, sunless place
until almost dry, pulling out all
wrinkles from time to time. Roll the
silk carefully over board, and let it
lie wrapped in towel until there is
only a trace of moisture left.
Smooth it under fine, white cloth
with "A moderately warm iron. If a
clear tone of white is desired, add
blueing to the water; if an ivory
shade is preferred, use the clear suds.

Care of Shoes.

An excellent preservative of shoe
leather is vaseline. If small quantity
be applied to new shoes it will softer
the leather, and if enameled leather
will keep it soft much longer than ordi
nariIy and render it less liable tc
crack
If worn shoes are cleaned and black
ened, and then rubbed with the vase.
line, their appearance and wearing
qualities will be much improved.
Have a box of oats handy and wher
the shoes are taken off remove all
mud and dirt, lace or button them
fill half full with oats and stuff the
tops with crumpled paper
When necessary to wear the shoes
empty them and they will be found to
have kept their shape, and will not be
drawn if they were in the least DAMP
when taken off.

THE HOT WATER BAG.
Simple Precautions That Will Pre-.
serve Its Usefulness.

Boiling water should never be put
into a rubber bag. Do not much more
than half fill the bag, then place it in
the lap before putting in the stopper
and carefully press out the steam.
This makes the bag softer, as it is
relieved of the pressure the steam
makes if left in it.
After using the bag drain out the
water, let it hang bottom up for little
while. then take it down and with the
mouth blow little air into it, just
enough to keep the inside from com
ing together, as it will often do IL there
is no air in it, in which case the bag
is almost sure to be ruined in pulling
il apart
If the bag ever should stick, put into
it some hot water with few drops Of
ammonia, let it remain a few minutes
then with a thin, dull-edged stick, try
TO separate the inside carefully
Never fold bag after it has once
been used A flannel bag covering for
the rubber bag is very useful.
