If you spill milk on your clothes
wash out the spot at once with white
soap and warm water.
II candle or other grease falls upon

take the spot out with an iron and
blotting paper.
Tea stains can be removed with
plain warm water, paint with turpen-
tine, Ink with salts of lemon, if the
color of the frock will not run. other
wise it is best to let it severely alone.
If you are so unfortunate as to get
your gown mud-stainei be sure to
wait until it is entirely dry and then
brush off with a whisk broom and
sponge the marks until they disap-

MAKING CANDLES FIT.

When your candle is just a little
too large to fit into your candlestick,
don't shave it down, for you are apt
to shave away a little too much and
be no better off than before. In
stead, hold the candle end to light
ed match and when the wax has soft
ened little you will have no diff
Guilty in fitting it into its socket.
Sometimes the candle is just a
trife too small and wabbles un-
gracefully when put into the stick.
The melting process works almost as
we'll in this case, but it may be nee
essary to borrow a little wax from
the end of a discarded candle, melt
it and pour it around the new one
to help fill up the superfuous space.

Take raw potato, cut in halves,

result will be so satisfying as to make
it difficult to say whether the boots

To remove marks made by machine
stitching; Take a very hot fatiron,
lay a wet cloth over it, holds marks
made by stitching over it till thor
oughly steamed, then press it with a
hot iron. This will thoroughly re-
move all marks.
