return of which was predicted. The belief was
expressed that it's approach to the sun might be
detected. by photography next winter and tnat
it would be visible by July. 1909. As the comet
was last seen in 1885, and as its period is seven
ty-six years. these expectations seem somewhat
premature Unless it's course has perceptibly
altered. it can hardly arrive before the close of
1910 or the earlier months of 1911.

out successful cases where these things
have been disregarded. Well, perhaps
they have, but ii is because certain
interior arrangements of partitions and
location Of the chimney in the house
have corrected these defects. What
am trying to tell you is a sure way
that doesn't depend on luck
My fireplace is built of field stone
with a brick lining. l selected every
stone personally in the neighborhOod or
on some driving trip. 1t had become
such a habit of mind with me to be
on the lookout for pretty stones that
l find myself doing it even now, after
the fireplace Is up.
The hearth and the fireplace opening
are brick. A very good substitute for
the former would be concrete. In any
case it is not advisable to allow the
fire to come in contact with stones
themselves, as, heat causes stones to
scale and shell off. The stonework Is
roughly dressed with a hammer and
laid up with wide joints pointed in
white mortar.
The shelf is solid piece of concrete
cast in place, as the pictures show.
The forms were built of wood and the
concrete poured in. If 1 had to do
this over again 1 should soak the forms
in water so the wood would do its
swelling before the wet concrete was
poured into it. 1 should also grease
or soap the forms, because. when we
took them down the concrete stuck

opening is about three feet high by four
feet wide, or IL square feet. Then
your fiue must have 156 square inches.
or a fiue approximately 9x1S inches.
But your mason will say. I'm sure
an eight inch square fiue will be
enough" Bewarel If you let him have
his way and get smoked out don't say
that you weren't warned in time!
The second important thing is to
have a throat in the fireplace between
the opening and the fue, which must
under no circumstances be more than
four inches in depth, although it may
be as wide as the fireplace itself. This
will make a shelf to catch the back
draft that is bound to come down
the flue. If this isn't clear the pic
ture shows the idea
Another very good thing to have Is a
damper in this throat by which it's
size can be modified and thus prevent
the fireplace from drawing in too much
and causing too great rush of cold
air in the room.
II you observe these things you can
bet that your fireplace draws. But you
are not going to get them without a
fight, as I said in the start. Your
architect will browbeat you, argue with
you, tell you that you don't know
what you are talking about and point

dental blocks were.
1 had intended to have the shelf
left in the natural gray color of con-
crete. but because of some patching
necessary where the concrete stuck It
was not of uniform color. and has since
been painted. The total cost of this
fireplace, by contract. including labor
and material. was Sf25. This was about
$50 too much, as was shown by the
light of experience.
But it draws-that's the main thing
and as l am sitting in front of 1t and
writing its life story inspired by it's
genial glow, 1 would not part with it
for many times the cost. 1t seems
to be the focal point in our household.

To Renovate Mems Clothing
Jessie f. Smith, OF Taylor avenue,
San Francisco

When black suits become brown and
faded by the sun, first sponge the arti-
cles thoroughly with gasoline to re-
move all dust and dirt. taking particu-
lar paips with any grease spots. If
necessary use a little warm suds of
CASTLE soap. putting in a few drops of
ammonia The articles should then be
well aired in the sun. The next step
is to prepare a package of black dye for
wool in the following manner, the
quantity used depending upon the num-
Der of articles to be renovated: Take
a portion of the dye and pour over it
boiling water. just enough to make a
strong solution; let stand half an hour
or So Lay the articles on same fiat
surface and with a stiff brush apply
the dye to all parts of the clothing.
If the first application does not give
the desired. effect put on little more,
come more faded than the remainder of
the material. Hang in the open air,
then press. You will be surprised at
the satisfactory results If these direc-
tions are carefully followed.

Practical Suggestions

Mrs. William Munro, San Mateo, Cal.
The use of the empty baking powder
tins for steamed or boiled p1ddings is
better understood after trying them:
never throw away an eE4pty baking
powder tin, but keep 1t for your
pudding molds. They are more con-
venient, and do not require as long
boiling as the larger molds or the old
way OF boiling in cloth. / use them
for all boiled puddings, such as apple
suet pudding. cay2ot fig, chocolate
batter and small fruit or plum pudding
and ! utilize ell leftovers such as lit
tie apple sauce or fruits of any kind,
stale c7l1e, mdsh. Fragments Of most
anything If properly mixed with eggs,
Sour. baking powder and milk, will
make a most delicious steamed pud-
ding Grease the tins and I'LL about half
full Place tins upright in pot, having
them fit snugly so they won't topple
over. Then fill pot half full of boiling
water and boil y to 2 hours. At serv-
ing time remove the covers, tap the
tins gently and your puddings will
come out In perfect shape: cut in nice
slices and serve with cream or sauce.
Clean and dry tins well to prevent
rusting.
