Simplicity in Lingerie.

A super1uity Of trimming on stout
womens lingerie is not desirable on ac-
count of its f1uffiness, yet the plump type
usually likes dainty underwear quite as
much as slender women, and so de-

The use of putty is, unfortunately, very
little understood by. the average house
holder. While it is indispensable to every
painter, carpenter or cabinetmaker, it
does not occur to the housekeeper that
this substance is of great use about the
house 1t may be used to fill in almost
any sort of dent, hole or crack; and so
give the object smooth, slightly surface.
Always fill all shrunken seams in wood,
or cracks or crannies, or crevices with
putty before beginning to paint or stain.
Old putty kept over from former repair
ings may be softened by kneading 1t
gently and dropping in oil as it is knead-
ed. 1t is better, however, to mix 1t fresh,
as 1t is never quite SO manageable after
reworking. The process is very simple.
Stiff two pounds of whiting into an earth
en- bowl make a hole in the middle and
pour in gradually, stirring and pounding
all the time. enough raw linseed oil to
make it of the proper. consistency. This
is point in favor of making it at home
it can be soft or stiff. at need.
For floor cracks that are deep and wide
it ought to be as stiff as biscuit dough.
Do not try to fill a crack that can be
seen through without first putting in a
silver of wood thin enough to come half
way to the top Nail the silver every foot
or so with small size brads. set diago-
nally, first on one side, then on the other.
Then cram the crack full of putty and
smooth off the top, but take care in the
smoothing not to smear the wood on Ell
Their side, nor to leave the putty higher
than the floor level. without the wood
foundation, walking breaks the putty al
most as soon as it hardens. and grinds it
through, leaving the crack in a worse
state than at first. An open crack too
narrow for silver ought to have the fine
brads driven in each side and left with the
heads standing out. crossing each other a
little below the floor level, before the put
ty is put in. 1t will harden all around
them, and, even if it should break, stay in
place long time.
Filling Holes in Panels.
A great deal depends upon knowing how
to handle the putty. For filling Longitude
nal spaces. as seams. split places shrunken
panels, take a ball of putty the size of an
egg and roll it between the palms until
1t takes long worm shape. Make the
roll of uniform size throughout. of a
thickness proportional to the space it is
TO fill. Press it firmly in place: then
with fat broad-bladed knife run over it

Lamp Shades.

The newest thing in lamp shades is a
frame covered first with pale pink soft
silk, mounted with shade of beautiful
handmade Irish crochet. OF course, this
is quite expensive. but very pretty shade
of good imitation filet lace that could be
copied at home at small cost would
answer the purpose.
The frame of this design can be first
covered with pink and then the LACE cut
to fit each section smoothly. The lower
edge can be finished with shalliw, round
scallops one to a section, and the seams
joining the sections concealed by a mar
row white silk gimp. This trims the
lower edge also, q finish being given by
white fringe.

Total Campaign Expenses So Far Are
About $4,000 and at Least
$4,000 Will Be Used

Questions of issuing more literature
are confronting the Lincoln-R Roosevelt

izing every voter in the county cannot
be entertained.
So far the committee has spent about
$4,000 in the present campaign About
$1,000 has been collected in the past few
days. 1t is thought about $4,000 will
be spent in Los Angeles city and coun-
