To-. clear. a Coat collar.

Nothing looks worse than a greasy
edge to a coat collar, and nothing
makes a coat shabbier. To remove
spots or marks of that description take
equal parts of soft soap and fuller's
earth, well mixed and beaten together,
with a little spirits of ~turpentine;
make it into a ball and when required
for use either dip it in hot water or
moisten the part of the garment to be
cleaned; rub the ball in and then let
it dry, and afterwards wiping over
quickly with a cloth dipped in hot
water until ell the soap is removed;
dry the spot thoroughly with a clean
cloth.-American Home Magazine.

inches in a year. Think of it a minute.
