WHAT TO DO.

whenever you have been g~rievously
sounded and brought under the lash OF
some wrong which must be carefully nan
died. there Is Just one remedy for 1t. take
M nerson who has told you the story
and make him or her take you to the party
who has been the one seemingly at fault.
1t is not justice to the third party 70
bear a grievance and let the u~ndercurrent
keen Mt work, when there is a way OF
remedying the fault. Too many people
chafe and worry over something which II
rooted up, is only wrong perpetrated
from some evil or jealous motive and the
one who is made to bear the blame Is
usually greatly Mt fault or can prove lnno-
eence of the charge. Too many people are
too ready to cod6e the niger in the
woodpile'' and there is one way and II
only of tracing out the guilty person
bring all together. 1t may cause u great
upheaval IN friendship. and sever some
very fond ties, but to know when one has
true friends Is to put them to a test OF
this kind. 1t Is a good one and II thor
oughly tested will frequently turn the
scales.

THE FALL
HOUSE CLEANING.

The house does not get so dirty dur
ing the summer that a general up
heaval is necessary for fall housec1ean-
ing, though there is one place where
the greatest attention must be givenf
and that is in the cellar. Damp days
together with the decaying vegetable
and fruits stored in the cellar and tLa
unavoidable dirt which is certain tt
accumulate, makes it really necessary
to hang up a red light In that apart
meht unless the cellar is properlX
cleaned during the fall. Often the
c~leanest house will have a cellar il the
most disreputable condition with
spoiled fruits, vegetables and the like.
making 1t a hotbed of diseases. Have
the cellar walls swept and literally
w-hitewashed, clean the floor and
sprinkle with lime. Every box, cup
board and boarding place should be
thoroughly cleaned with hot water and
soap. II there is any perceptible
dampness. the cellar should be aired,
il possible, and often this can be over
come by burning a small gas or oil
stove in the cellar for one day. Nc
difference how nicely one may prepare
canned fruits and preserves, if the
cellar is in a damp condition everything
will mould and in many cases sour and
spoil. One days work, even though 1t
be arduous labor, will save the sum-
mer's work represented in the canned
fruits, jellies, etc.

DINING TABLE SET.

A tray cloth and two doilies which
match make neat table decorations If made
of linen outlined with Renaissance lace
braid in some neat design. Make the tray
oval. the two doilies small and round,
about the size of a dinner plate. Large
feur de lis design are neat for a border
edge and easily filled in with cotton
stitches.
English lace braid is very desirable for
making neat borders to centerpieces on
net. 1t is easily placed and the effects
are always dainty and artistic. A good
pattern to follow is the wreath seen on a
cent. Several of these on a centerpiece
makes a good conventional design, which
is easily filled in with an ornamental
border in neat design.

TO SAVE TIME
IN FANCY WORK.

In doing fine shading, which requires
delicate blending of tints most embroider-
ers have experienced the annoyance or
having to thread and unthread their needle
to take possibly but a few stitches.
This means both loss Of time and de-
cided inconvenience. not to mention the
probable loss of that special thread the
next time it is needed.
The experienced embroiderer knows bet
ter. She will keep on the table beside her
a number of needles, each threaded with
one of the tints employed in her shading.
Thus Just the right tone is always at hand
when wanted and one source of petty dis
comfort and time-wasting removed.

Please let me have a recipe for maple
fudge as soon as possible, as I expect
several girls to come to my Gus sat

Maple Fudge-Break a pound OF maple
sugar into bits, and then crust 1t fine.
Add to it a pint of sweet cream, into
which you have stirred a pinch of soda.
Put over the fire. and stir until the
sugar is melted. Boil, stirring con-
stantIy, until a little becomes brittle
when dropped in cold water. Then add
a tablespoonful OF butter, and when the
butter melts pour the mixture into we'll
creased pans and set aside to cool.
Before it is cold mark into squares
with a knife.

China silk shirtwaist which is very

if I could AFFORD to send it to a cleaner.
Please tell me of a good way to wash
it so that, the material will not be in
jured, or turn yellow, and win the
gratitude of
TEACHER.
Make a strong lather by cutting up a
piece of white soap and pouring nearly
boiling water on it. Bea up with a
fork until you have a good suds. When
cool wash the waist in 1t by squeezing
with the hands. Do not rub soap di-
rectly on it, except IN the badly soiled
places. Wash through two strong
and rinse in soapy water. Then
through a wringer, taking care
to keep the silk as fiat and smooth as
possible.
Shake well, hang up for a little
while. and iron on the wrong side while
damp.
Having a little soar in the rinsing
water will give a stiffness like new
silk, without making the silk too stiff.

work demonstrated in one of the large de-
partment stores of the city. and the work
was beautifully done; in fact. the material
retained its original glossiness. The work
was done to demonstrate a bluing sold in
capsules, ready for use, but the sugges-
tons and demonstrations of using the gloss
with ordinary lump starch seems practical
enough to pass along to others.

AN EMBROIDERY HINT.

A rather new, yet snowy, way to work
a large coin dot is to begin at the outside
with an outlining stitch and follow the
circle round and round into the centre.
This development of the dot has a better
effect where colors are used instead Of
white.
Another, though scarcely so good, a
treatment is to use a very fine chain stitch
OH the circumference, filling the centres
with solid French knots.
Some people insist ON outlining the satin
stitch dot when finished. This gives the
best result when the outline is in a darker
shade.

A GRAY COSTUME.

A neat suit seen this week was of a
delicate shade of gray wolfe, trimmed with
narrow stripes of white wolfe, outlined with
machine stitching in black silk. The bands
were not quite two inches wide, yet the
trimming was clever and the dress stylish.
1t was a short Jacket suit, the jacket being
made with a fly front, small belt at the
back, and long sleeves. The skirt was one
of the new Godet styles, though not too
deliberately trimmed. The side panels were
striped for a depth OF about nine inches
with the narrow white bands. The front
and back panels were plain.

woman,s ways.

There's no telling just when or just
how the eternal feminine" Is going 10
crop out. Women are always
likes and dislikes, and If you could ever
know some of the real reasons FOR them
your eyes would pop out of your head
with establishment.
| know of a girl who took a violent
dislike to a man because when he
laughed one of his eyebrows went up
higher than the other. The funny part
of it was she liked him immensely until
she noticed this popularity, which was
not until she had known him several
months.
zone day 1 noticed it," said she, "and
after that that eyebrow just fascinated
me. No matter how interesting he
made his conversation, | could never
nav attention, for I was always watch
ing for that eyebrow to rise, and after
a while l just got so l couldn't bear
him"
7 think the poor, bewildered mar
wonders even now what changed her
attitude toward him.
There's another girl who ives near
me Who always imagines that her
mothers funds are low when prunes
anoear on the table. "They seem so
cheap she explained, "and l cannot
bear them, anyway, a when L
was a youngster my grandmother was
forever telling me how good they We're
for me-"
AS a matter of fact they are no
cheaper than anything else. You know
that. It's just her crazy notion. We've
told her this. but 1t did not change her
mind at all.
These are only a couple of the count
less ways in which girls prove that
they are girls, differing completely
from practical, unimaginative men, who
unless they are POLITICALLY inclined, sell

The girl watched for a moment, then
said: Yes, yours is a good way, but
1 like mine better, because 1t does not
give me a dirty thumb"
The man shifted. That's The kind Of
an answer 1 expected" he announced
a moment later, and Just goes to prove
what I said at first. If a woman has
a reason for doing n thing she'll go
ahead and do it, regardless Of ADVICE or
criticism. Now why is it,?
Because she's a woman" responded
the girl conclusively, as she took the
pencil from hin and started to write.

away. His look plainly said, WHATS
