Hints for Observation-Disclosures soaked
and washed in water soap jelly Is used
in are soft, easily washed, and it takes
but half the time; for dish washing it is
unsurpassed and for baby napkins the
stains disappear without rubbing if
slightly scalded. | use one cupful of
jelly to one large boiler of clothes on
wash day, and one-half cupful to soak
the clothes in before, to each tub Of
water. If the following directions are
followed, one gallon of soap jelly can be
made for 10 cents, and once made the
jelly pot will never be allowed to he
empty.
10 two bars of family soap, Clipped
fine, add three and one-haf quarts of
boiling water; let simmer on back of
stove until soap is entirely dissolved, set
outside to cool. and when cool enough
to hold your finger in comfortably add
one big coffee cupful of gasoline and
stir well. Set aside and in twelve hours
it will have set and the result is one
gallon of white soap jelly that keeps the
hands soft and white and lightens your
daily work.
To Clean the Bath TUBA small
quantity of kerosene oil kept convenient
to the bathroom will be found invalu
able in removing all discolorations and
sticky substances from lavatOry, bath
tub, and all nickel fixtures. Wet a
sponge or soft cloth kept for this pur-
pose with the oil and wipe over the
stained or soiled parts, Then wash with
clean cloth and soapy water to remove
ali OdOr of the oil
The Care of Rugs-Have a frame
four feet wide and five long by taking
strips of inch boards two inches wide.
Bore holes six inches apart with a half
inch bit. in both sides and ends, nail
together firmly on corners, and put
strip across the ends on underside to
fasten the hinges of the legs so they
will fold back when not in use. For the
legs take four pieces three feet long
and two inches square, taper them down
to one inch, bore a hole in center to put
in a strong cord to keep them from
spreading. Now take a small clothes
line and draw through holes. First
lengthen, then weave it across. drawing
tight each time. Lay rug on top and
beat with a rubber hose. and you have
a perfect rug cleaner. Fine for beating
mattresses.
Etiquette of Luncheons.-The invita-
tons to a luncheon should be sent out
at least a week in advance for an in
formal luncheon. and for a formal af-
fair they should be sent out ten days or
two weeks in advance. In the case of
formal luncheons the invitations may be
written in the third person, although the
first person is usually preferred For in
formal luncheons it is considered perfect
" correct to invite the guests by word
of mouth. but it is little more formal
to write invitations. An invitation to
formal luncheon should be answered
without delay. The reply should be for
NAL or informal according to the invita-
ton The correct hour for the affair is
or half-past. A luncheon may he
made simple or deliberately formal ac-
cording to the inclinations of the host
ess. In fact. there is not a great deal of
difference between a formal luncheon
and dinner. except that dishes of a less
substantial nature are chosen for the
luncheon.
