Women who are compelled to take va
cations at the end Of the summer sea-
son usually find their wardrobes faded
or shabby, for naturally, summer fabrics
do not stand the strong sun or the aver

fresh and trim for the holidays.

of this chemical dissolved in pail OF

length of time necessary to fit the color
will be from twenty to thirty minutes.
The articles are then put into the bath,
and after soaking are squeezed through
the hands. Afterward they are rinsed in
clear water and rolled in a clean towel
until almost dry. then pressed with a
warm iron on the wrong side.
The tailored suit or cloth skirt should
be gone over carefully. looking for stains
or soil. and when spots are found they
should be thoroughly rubbed with ben
zine or ammonia and water.
If piece of wet cloth is laid over the
stain and very hot iron Is placed upon
it. the two cloths will adhere to each
other. When the top piece is removed the
nap rises with 1t. so that the stain. If not
quite obliterated, is at least invisible
Almost every garment may be improved
by good pressing. no matter what the
fabric is. SO that before deciding upon
washing any article first try pressing.
In pressing. always run the iron with
the threads. this treatment helps TO
keep the article ironed in shape.
The shine on a blue serge skirt can gem
orally be removed by sponging with a
strong solution of ammonia and water.

the same for a black cloth skirt. DO

Sponge ribbons with gasoline, and if
much soiled use little white soap, keep
ing away from the fire during the process.
Wells may be cleaned df not washable)
by putting through gasoline bath.
Ribbons that are only creased should be
lightly sponged with water. then placed
bet tween two clean cloths and pressed.
Ribbon bows on hats can be freshened
by carefully sponging the loops and then
filing them with soft paper to preserve
the shape Ten cents worth of dye used
according to directions will restore the
color to faded stockings or tint a cheap
white pair to any shade preferred.
The many preparations for coloring
faded straw hats that come at such a
small price will be a boon to the economi-
cal girl, while tube of oil paint mixed
with gasoline and applied to faded flowers
will restore them to newness.

SPONGE BATHS NECESSARY
IN THE VERY HOT WEATHER

The habit of having a Jath mat in ones
trunk when making round of visits has
been adopted by one woman. who nnds
that 1t Is not always possible to have the
use of a bathroom. and so. thanks to her
mat she is not deprived of a daily and
very satisfactory bath.
A shower, If only from hand spray, is
to be classed among the iuxuries. To get
one should stand on a mat. soap the body
and then. standing In the tub use the
shower rinse; warm first, changing
gradually to cool. If a person has con-
stitution which permits of finishing with
a really cold shower, the eXhilaration
from it Is stimulating.
When bathing Is to he done in tub
the best results are had from tepid water.
Cold is not cleansing. and that which is
hot is likely to be weakening, but blood
temperature is good. The final rinse must
never be omitted.
Always in taking bath the face should
be separately treated. l do not believe in
using water for it save when rain, boiled
or distilled. can be secured. A cleansing
substitute is far better and frequently
more eff1cacious in removing soil Cam
phor water is excellent and So inexpen-
sive as to make it possible for almost
every one. Camphor water lotion comes
under the head of astringent tonic

1t. 1t Is made from one-fOurth ounce of
powdered bOrax, One-half ounce Of ely
cerin and pint of camphor water. When
the skin is very oily glycerin may be
omitted. In either case the lotion is left
to dry on the skin and may be used
freely.
Rose water is good. Almond milk is
ideal when pure, but difficult to make.
About thirty Jordan almonds are blanch-
ed. broken and put into a mortar with Il
level teaspoonful of graduated sugar. To

And a bath in A tub Is excellent-sc
good, in fact, that we are prone to regard
lis as a necessity instead of luxury. But
as good results. except in cases Of illness
are obtained by washing in a basin. pro-

In my opinion. 1t is useless to take sucf
a bath unless something is provided or
