FOR THOSE WHO KNIT.
Directions for Making Dainty Three.
Cornered Shawl.

The materials required for a com.
fottable and dainty three-cornered
shawl are two bone knitting needles,
No. Q, and double Berlin or fancy wool.
First: Cast on three stitches and knit
off plain. Second: Make one at end Of
every other row by knitting into the
bottom part of the loop and then into
actual stitch. Knit backward and for
ward garter stitch, until there are $50
stitches on the needle. Third: Knit
six rows without increasing Fourth:
Decrease at the end of every other
row by taking the last two stitches to-
gether until three loops remain and
then cast off. The decreasings must
be made at the same ends of the rows
that the increasings were made. Fifth:
Finish off the edge all around with a
crochet eSging. This shawl is easily
and quickly made, and If made in a
delicate colored wool will be extreme
ly dainty 1t can be worn as a hood
as well as a shawl by putting one
corner over the head and drawing the
other two over the shoulders and un.
der the chin.

To Cure Ivy Poisoning.

1t is impossible to prevent the trou-
BILE from running its course after the
pustules have broken, but it is easy to
do so IL you act as soon as the itching
begins. | have kept ten cents worth
of extract of grindelia in the house for
years and have found it most efficient
1t Is brown liquid that should be
rubbed on the itching places every five
minutes until the itching ceases. For
people who are very sensitive to poi
coming this Is godsend
But l heard of a much simpler rem
edy last year when / was visiting a
nurseryman. who had to clear an i'm
mense quantity of poison ivy from a
piece of woods. He had 40 Italians at
work digging it up. None of them
knew what the plant was and only one
man was affected, and he was immedi-
ately sent to wash his hands and face
with hot water He had no further
trouble. Further experience has con.
vinced my friend that very few people
are subject to poisoning in this way,
and that the hot water cure is the sim
plest and best.-N. Y. Herald.

CARE OF CURTAINS
DIFFERENT MATERIALS REQUIRE
DIFFERENT HANDLING.
Treatment Of Those OF White or
cream-How to lmpart stiffen.
ing-carefuI Drying Always
Better Than Ironing.

Curtains should be washed through
;wo or three tepid waters, with wash.
ng soda dissolved in each one, then
soaked over night in cold water with
soda added. The soda saponifies any
grease that may be there.
The next day the curtains, IL they
ire white or cream, should be washed
put OF the soaking water, then put
INTO soap lather and pressed and
squeezed in this until they become
quite clean. Then wash In plenty of
warm water and boil the white ones
Tor about an hour.
II the cream ones are very much
soiled they should also be boiled. Aft
sr boiling they must be thoroughly
rinsed in warm water to remove soap,
then in cold water. They must then be
Erung, not by twisting, but by pres
sure through wringing machine, SO
that the water may be quite removed
before they are starched.
All curtains are improved when
stiffened and are usually dipped into
boiling water starch of full strength.
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1908-07-23

To make the curtains of equal stin-
ness the starch should be prepared in
one basin, then divided by pouring
half of it into another basin and
each curtain dipped into each lot OF
starch.
AS wet material holds a certain
quantity of water which reduces the
strength of the starch, II one curtain
is put into the starch before the 9th
er the starch would be less stiff for
the second Slrtain, and it would, in
consequence, be rather limp.
Curtains of SWISS lace should also
be put into rather thick starch. as they
hang better when made fairly stiff,
and as they are usually of open de-
sign, the stiffness keeps the pattern
displayed
Madras muslin curtains, or the 9TH
er hand, look better when quite soft,
consequently less degree of stiffen.
ing is required. If there is ball fringe
on the curtains this must be kept
carefully free from starch, as 1t makes
the fringe stiff, causing the threads to
adhere to each other, spelling its ap'
pearance.
When starching these curtains
gather the fringe up carefully in the
hand away from the starch while the
curtains are being stifened.
Curtains may be ironed, but 1t is q
better way to hang them over the line
exactly in half, and see that they hang
directly opposite TO one another.
They will dry in short time on q
sunny day. When dry, fold then
lengthwise, lay them in a sheet and
put under a heavy box. When hung
the folds will come out of them.
