HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

When mending curtains cover your IRON
Ing board or table with whatever black
material you happen to have and let your
curtains fall over 1t. Every hole easily can
be seen.
10 clean chandeliers hat discourage one
to look at, dust thoroughly. then take a
small sponge and pure vinegar; wash or
and rub after with a canton flannel cloth.
Works like electricity-so quickly done.
To remove rust, ink and mildew marks
from white garments, nothing Is better
than salt and lemon Juice. Moisten the
salt with the juice, and spread over the
stains. allow 1t to remain on for a short
time. and, II necessary. repeat the process
%Rinse we'll afterwardsin clear water.
If coal is kept In a dry and airy place
it will burn much better than If placed
In a close. badly ventilated cellar. Coal
that Is excluded from the air soon gets
rid of Its gas. and tho absence of this
rerders 1t more wasteful when burned.
When cooking by gas always place a
tin of water In the oven. A bowl of Vine
gar-and-water placed beside tho stove will
prevent the smell of cooking from spread
ing through tho house.
IT. when baking, the over SHOULD get
too hot, place o basin of cold water In
1t. This will COOL the oven and the steam
which rises from the water will prevent
the contents from burning.
To remove coffee stains, rub thorough
ly with pure, clean glycerine; this will
remove stains caused by coffee from
wooden and other materials. The place
should be afterwards well washed with
lukewarm water and ironed on the wrong
side till dry.
To remove OIL stains from wood, mix
pipe clay and water together till 1t forms
n stiff paste, and spread 1t over the stain.
If left till the next day and then care
fqlly removed. all trace of the stain will
have disappeared.
Two potatoes grated together in a basin
OF warm whter are far better than soap
for washing delicate silk. flannel or wooden
goods.
Lace or the popular bobbinet rufied
curtains can very easily be Numbered at
home If one knows just how to go about
1t. First of all they shoul be shaken out,
and. the dust carefully removed. Then
they should be washed with warm water
and soap the same as q sheet or table,
cloth, only, of course, more carefully
Then they should be put on a curtain
stretcher to dry. Both the rufie and this
body OF the curtain should be Numbered in
the same manner.

Kindly tell me through your question
box what Is good to clean n white leather
belt. Also n leghorn hat, which Is much
soiled, and oblige, A READER
Rub your belt with gasoline, applying the
liquid with a clean, soft cloth. When the
worst soil Is removed, go over the spots
with clean gasoline. Great care should be
taken when using gasoline. as 1t is highly
explosive and should never be used near a
fire or artificial light. Heavy friction mas
been known to ignite 1t. SO do not rub
too hard when using it. Hang your belt In
tho sunlight to destroy the odor.
Brush your leghorn hat free of all dust
after the trimming has been removed.
Dissolve n small tablespoonful Of oxolic
acid witt a little warm water and add to
a pint OF cold water. Scrub your hat with
this solution. using a small hand brush or
a discarded nail brush for the work. Go
over the hat two or three times, each time
using clean solution. Dry in the sun and
you will find your hat free from dust and
soil.
I have a great deal Of FIR and balsam
which | gathered in the mountains to make
pine pillows. l want to cover the pillows
with silk and lingerie, but I am afraid
the coarse ends of the branches will cut
the material. Do you know any way this
may be prevented. 1 will look for an
answer on your woman's page which 1
always read AN ADMIRER.
To make your cushion slips durable, es-
pecially when they are to be filled with
fir. balsam, pine cones or life everlasting,
wax the cloth and iron 1t over the inside
of the slip. This prevents the little ends
of the branches coming through to tear
the silk or fine lingerie covers. Use heavy
white or unbleached muslin for the slips.
l lave had a great deal of trouble
starching lingerie waists and dresses. The
starch seems too heavy for the material
no matter how thin 1 make 1t. Can you
tell me some way TO keep the goods soft
and glossy after laundering and oblige.
HOUSEKEEPER.
A starch made Of rice has been found
excellent for lingerie material. Wash one
quarter cup of rice, put into one quart
water, boil slowly, stir often at first, keep
up the quantity of water and cook until
the rice is a pulp. Add one quart of boil
ing water and strain through a white
flannel bag-without pressing. If too thick
dilute 1t with water and use the starch
while warm.

GOOD TO KNOW.

To make children's shoes last longer try
this methods: Melt together tallow and
common resin In the proportion of two
parts of the former to one OF the latter
and apply the preparation hot to the soles
of the boots and shoes to be treated. This
will save many dollars.
Lemon seeds If planted and treated as
house plants will make pretty little shrubs.
The leaves may be used for favoring.
Tie a few in a piece of muslin and drop
In the apple sauce.
To make a lettuce bag take a piece of
bobbfnet, fifteen by twenty-four. or worn
out net curtains. When lettuce, parsley.
spinach or other tender green stuff comes
from the market 1t is washed ready for
use, then put in a bag which is thrown
in an Ice chamber or on the shelf of the
refrigerator.
If it is necessary to keep the fire for a
long time try the following method: On
top of a glowing fire place newspapers
dampened and folded in a ball; on top of
this place a layer of dampened coal dust
n then again a layer Of newspaper balls,
finishing with a layer of coal dust. When
the fire is required it will be only neces-
sary to give 1t a gentle stir, and place a
few small pieces of kindlng on top. and
In a very short space of time there will
be q good fire.
To successfully clean venetian blinds at
home. take the laths out Of the tape lad
ders and rub thoroughly to remove all
the dust, then wash each lath separately
in warm water, to which a little soap and
a few drops of ammonia have been added.
Sponge with clear water and dry carefully
with a soft cloth. Clean the tapes with
pipe clay.
If you wish your brooms to last don't
stand them in the corner In the usual
manner. Hang them up by their handles
or turn them upside down. :
If you wish to obtain a high luster on
your kitchen mix your stove polish
with very strong soapsuds.
If your stove has steel trimmings rub
them with the following mixture and they
will look like new: Sweet oil, one table,
spoonful; turpentine. two t-ablespoonfuls;
emery powder, one tablespoonful.
Salads of all kinds should be, gently
handled. that is they should not be heav-
lily turned, but mixed In a very large bowl,
by running the fork and spoon down the
sides of the dish, and then gently tossing
the salad with an upward movement, let
ting 1t mix as it falls back.

FOR MILADY'S
TOILET TABLE.

Unless you want your face crinkled and
wrinkled like side plaitings do not use
lotions that contain epsom salts. These
lotions are somtlmes used instead OF a
complexion powder. They are extremely
driving and very, very bad for the skin
The woman beautiful must learn to dis
tlnguish between wrinkles and lines OF
character. A face without a single line Is
the face of an ~undeveloped intellect; with
out expression Of any kind there can be
no beauty a wax mask has nothing at
In It's immobile perfection. so each
woman should search her own countenance
with due regard to this fact. Wrinkles
do not always await the advent Of old
age; more times they comes from habits
contracted in youth; the constant frown,
the uplifting Of the brows In affected sur
prise. the supercilious droop of the corners
of the mouth. the contemptuous sniff. =
causing deep lines from the nostrils down,
are the results of habit. and need never
come into existence In IN face II re-
pressed as soon as noticed.
Salt water will render the most delicate
skin absolutely proof against the poison
oak. A desertspoonful to a quart Of water
is usually sufficient, but more may be
used without injuring the skim, ana is
often advisable. Battle the hands and face

Immediately upon return.
One Of the most convenient articles to
be used In a sick room Is a sand bag. Get
some clean. fine sand. dry 1t thoroughly in
a kettle on the stove. Make a bag o
eight inches square of flannel, fill It with
dry sand. sew the opening carefully to-
gether and cover the bag with cotton or
linen. This will prevent he sand from
sitting out. and will also enable you to
heat the bag quickly by placing it in the
oven or ever on the top of the stove.
B~lackheads are particularly trying be-
cause they tell every one you meet that
you are not Clearly or careful in bathing
your face. They are cauved by a general
Inactivity of the skin. The remedy lies In
keeping the face perfectly clean, a simple
diet and a daHy bath. When the black
heads are very pronounced remove them
with the aid of a small instrument made
for the purpose. Or o can %puncture
them with a fine sterilized needle and apply
hydrozone and sizzle them to death. WHIP
ing the face with diluted alcohol will re-
move tiny ~blackheads. After bathing the
face a good cream should be used to keep
the kin soft SO that the pores can free
themselves of dust and sebaceous matter.

FASHIONS FADs.

The ana hat has taken q new lease
on life since 1t has been converted into a
picture hat.
Coats nodded to the figure without a
crease are the latest demand among Paris
fashionables for theft tailor mades.
Parasol handles are either thick or thin,
but they must be long. Many are covered
with a plain color bordered with a con-
trasting shade.
Little loose etons in black peau de sole
are seen a good deal and are simply trim
med with black braid, the sleeves full and
t~hree-quarter length. They are not elabor-
ate.
The vogue for check and stripes is no.
ticeable, even in driving cloaks. If the
entire coat is not one or the other 1t
shows touches Of plaid about the revers
and cuffs. If the coat Is figured the
touches are of a plain color.
White muslins with large colored spots
make cool-looking frocks for hot weathes.
Trimmed with Swiss insertion and tucks
they are very pretty. A dress Of this sort
requires a simple shade hat trimmed with
ribbons or field flowers.
Much has been said both pro and con of
the long sleeve, but the extension below
the elbow shall be close-fiitting and de-
tachable. All of the new separate under

band of insertion and a tiny rufie of lace

something more elaborate Is desired hand

In contrast to the yellows, blues and

"AUNT SALLY" D0REMUS
HALE AND HEARTY.
She Is Now Living with Her Daughter,
Mrs. John ~Broadwell, in
This City.

Should Mrs. Sarah Hall Doremus. who
is living with her daughter. Mrs. 0
B~roadwell. Of &c Osborne terrace. this city,
live till Tuesday. August 10, she will cele-
brate her 10th birthday. Mrs. Doremus,
better known as Aunt Sally" Is In the
best Of health and Is anxiously awaiting
her birthday party. If one Of the guests
brings an automobile along and the
weather is acceptable, Mrs. Doremus will
probably take a ride in the machine. a
pleasure she has enjoyed more than once.
Despite her age Aunt Sally does not
suffer any organic trouble. but says she
is calmly waiting for her last day. She
does not anticipate death at this time,
though, she says she Is prepared for 1t.
She passes up and downstairs to her meals
every day and is trying hard to prevent
being considered a burden on anybody. In
this she has been successful. She believes
careful living has heightened her years
and brides herself on the fact that she
never allows anything to worry her. She
has, q remarkable sunny disposition. and
enjoys a good cha with her relatives
and friends.
Mrs. Doremns was born at Saddle River
and lived with her hlsband there until
his parents died. when she moved with
him to P~arsippany. locating on a fine farm
and family homestead. Her husband died
in 1885. but they celebrated their golden
wedding anniversary together. She had
two daughters. one Of whom Is dead. and
a son. Her son. Abram. is 10 years old
and lives in P~arsippany. Mrs. Sarah
Plumley. Of south Parkway, East Orange,
Is a niece. as is Mrs. Keve and Mrs. Rich
ard Shauger. of East Orange. Elijah
Doremus. former Recorder of East Orange,
is q nephew. Last Sunday Mrs. Plumley
visited Aunt Sally and plans for the
birthday party were discussed.

What a very happy place the world
would be If there was no gossip what
ever in 1t, If every one found they had
all they could do to mind their own
business and allow their neighbors the
privilege of doing the same. Tn not
finding fault with. the world Mt all, for
I think it's a mighty good place, but I
be improved upon, and the greatest
number among these = the meddlers
and b~usybodies, who seem to hin
their mission in life is to probe into the
ives of other people and make their
affairs the topic for malicious gossip.
I don't believe that anyone of this
class of Idle gossip mongers are with
out a conscience. Therefore, | cannot
understand why at some time or other
they do not feel a pang Of remors for
the great amount of +heartachs n pain
their idle talk is often responsible for.
Women, as a whole. usually get the
credit of being busybodies and capable
of mixing up the affairs of other peo-
pie, but women gossips are not the only
ones to be contended with. for there
are many of the sterner sex afflicted
with the same weakness, and, when
they are, it is usually IN a most malig-
nant form. !,
Gossips, as a rule, have no fine feel
ings where other people are concerned.
To pry into the recesses of ones iDmost
heart is nothing to them IL they are
able to find something to talk about
and make scandal of.
l often wonder what these people
would do If they were made the sub
Jects of gossip, nov they would act II
some ,other busybodies meddled with
their affairs. I'm quite sure they would
assume an injured cir n demand
satisfaction.
If among your acquagDtances there is
q man or whom you know to
be a meddler or q gossip, shun them
as you would the plague. Never give
them your confidence, for they will not
keep 1t. and you may regret the trust
you reposed in them.

TO ADD TO ONES BEAUTY.

For greasiness and shiny complexion
wipe the face with a solution of ope-half
dram of boric acid and two ounces of dis
titled witch hazel. Shake, and apply with
a soft cloth in the morning.
Walking is the very best kind of exer-
else, and will seldom tire the person who
walks correctly. Take a free, firm, easy
stride, swinging the limbs from the hip,
bending the knee but slightly and stepping
squarely on the ball of the foot. A walk
of two or three miles a day will keep any
woman in good health.
The simplest face bleach known Is
almond milk. and is good If constantly
used. Blanch thirty large almonds. Break
In a small basin and put in a lump Of
sugar. Take a wooden potato masher mot
n wire or metal one) and break the
almonds and sugar; then, slowly, almost
drop by drop, add n half pint of rose
water. The process is a long one, and
must be carefully done, the object, being
to break the almonds as fine as dust. Let
stand over night. then strain through a
muslin cloth. Use the milk morning,
and night, letting It dry on the face.
About the best way TO use oatmeal on
the complexion is to take two tablespoon
fuls Of the best oatmeal, boiling II in two
quarts of water for several hours; cool
and strain. When cool add the Juice of a
lemon and one tablespoonful alcohol. APP
ply after the face has been bathed with
warm water, pure soap and a complexion
brush. Do not wipe the lotion away, but
let 1t dry into the skin. The oatmeal will
make the skin soft, the lemon will whiten
and the alcohol will remove the greasy
appearance.
Systematic yawning seems TO have proved
highly successful in Austria as a method
of vocal and health culture. DR.. Noegli
advises deep yawning, with arms out
stretched, thus i~nsuring complete change
of air in the lungs, and at each treatment
he has his patients make six or eight
yawns. each being followed by swallowing.
He regards the exercise, with deep breath
ing, as the best means Of strengthening
the respiratory organs and muscles. while
1t gives astonishing relief in catarrh of the
throat. For singers a like practise causes
the tonsils and uvula to retract and harden
and the clear passage gives the voice
greater volume and improved quality.
To get rest one must let ones muscles
go to sleep. While activity is necessary
to beauty, the body must have plenty of
rest to make up for the wear and tear of
human life and the inroads of time. When
you rest. try to get the muscles of your
face under control. Dom wrinkle the
forehead or compress the lips. To rest
the head is very important. Comb the
hair differently occasionally. Dress the
neck comfortably. a three pairs of
shoes, SO that your feet will never be
tired and ~twinglng. Don't overdo. don't
rush. Take things quietly. These rules
are the very best ones known for keeping
young. L~ater-day women seem to have
lost the art of resting. Their lives are
quite too exciting TO be productive of
beauty or its preservation.
