Washing a Sweater.

It is no difficult matter to wash a
sweater at home, and it usually comes
out as we'll as if it had gone to the
cleaner. Wash 1t in tepid soap suds,
rinse it thoroughly and spread 1t on
the grass if there is grass. If there
is not yard, hang it on a coat hang
er which has been thoroughly padded
with a towel, says the New York
Evening Sun. The trouble in drying
wool sweaters is the stretching OF the
sleeves from the additional weight OF
water and the stretching out of shape
of different parts that are clipped to
the line by clothes pins. One woman
who washes her own sweater threads
the sleeves through a clothes line and
straightens the garment on the line.
If there is clean grass it is as well to
dry it on the ground, Strengthening
the garment perfectly while it is wet.
But the sun tans white sweater, and
it should be dried on a cloudy day IL
this means is used.

When flavoring has been forgotten
IN a pudding or cake the fault may
be remedied by rubbing the desired
extract over the outside of the cake as
soon as it is taken from the oven.
Put bits of soap into a tin cup with
a little hot water and enough corn or
oatmeal to thicken, stirring all to-
gether till the soap melts. Let the
mass harden in cake and you have
a nice bath soap.
To patch umbrella covers get sup
ply of black court plaster from the

patch is thus made.

An Artistic Touch.

The woman whose aim is to reveal
a touch Of the artist in her home Just
at present is interested in the old
fashioned candlestick. II is a revival
as happy in its way as that of the re-
turn to favor of Sheffield or pewter
ware. The candle held its own
against the oil lamp, but lost its pop
ularity when gas came in. and it was
practically outlawed when electricity
came into general use. Now, how
ever, many women of society are
using candles extensively. One So
ciety leader, in fact, has gone to the
extreme of having electric fixtures
removed from several rooms, relying
entirely upon candles for lighting.
These candles she displays in antique
candlesticks of beaten brass. Tall
Russian candlesticks now are seen on
many library tables, and tall silver
colonial sticks are on many dressing
tables. New candlesticks are shown

DESTROYED Money.

1t is estimated that over one-half
million dollars in paper money is
destroyed in the country in one year.
Many complaints come to the Treas
ury Department concerning destroyed
money from persons who are of the
opinion that the country should
stand their losses. One woman wrote
few days ago that she had dropped
twenty dollar bill in q meat chop
per and that it had been ground to
pieces. A large quantity of green
backs is eaten up each year by rats,
which find its hiding places. One
peculiar case is reported of a robin
flying through a window and then
flying out again with a one hundred
dollar bill in its mouth. Enough Of
this greenback was found in the rob-
ms nest to warrant its redemption.

How to Have Good Lamplight.

Don't use the wick up to the last
nch; get a new one when the old one
is clogged or stiff.
Rub the burned part off with soft
sloth every day-don't cut it.
Put fresh oil in the lamp every
lay, but don't fill it quite full. Leave
an inch of space at the top.
Keep the outside of lamp clean and
dry and you won't be troubled with
billy odors.
Wash chimneys every day and the
)ther parts once a week, using a little
ammonia and soap to cut the grease.
Polish chimneys with a soft news

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Summer love and winter matri-

The average man marries woman
In order to escape loneliness-ard

the woman.
To most men the drink problem 4"
Is merely a question of whether to
order a beer or a highball.
Nothing disturbs a man worse than
to find that he has stirred up a wom-

can't.
There are just two endings to a
love affair-temporary despair If you
are disappointed, and lifelong regret
If you are not.
Don't fancy that it is always i'm
pertinence that makes man try to
kiss you; it may be only curiosity
or just to pass the time.
The savage brings a club to the set
tlement of his domestic troubles; the
civilized man takes his troubles to
the club.

A woman doesn't object to being

Real luck in love consists in being
able to get out of it gracefully.

Nowadays no gentleman will stoop

The hardest task a mother has is
to teach her child to be patient with

There was another message to old

lead her. AS plodded along l found

bearings and his water supply had
stages of a fever. And almost the
first thing l heard him babble was
the name of old Stonewall. He was
back with the boys again in the
schoolyard. Somehow l got him on
my tired mare, lame as she was, and
together we stumbled along that
frightful waste, the stranger laugh
ing and crying over his schoolboy
tricks in the queerest way. Well, we
got somewhere at last-some place
where water trickled and human
voices broke the maddening silence
with gentle words. / dropped with a
fever myself just then and never
knew what became of the prospector.

of him. His home was in this city

Doillcs in White Honse.

Mrs. Taft has taken up the fashion
of using doilies for both the breakfast
and luncheon table. 1t is plan that
has been gaining favor in Europe for
several years, and originated with a
French woman who was proud of her
mahogany table and wished to give
her guests peek at it. There is an
other good reason for the custom.
The dolly takes away from formality.
and also permits of more display of
the varied taste OF the hostess than
the heavy and conventional table,
cloth. Doilies are shown in profu-
sion OF patterns and designs. They
may be worked by the hostess herself.
and are graded in size to match plates
and cups and saucers and glasses.
Mr.. Taft uses doilies on the round
table in the White House dining room
for breakfast and luncheon. unless
there are guests who demand a show
of formality. They also are found on
many other tables in Washington and
in this city, and their uses seems con-
Btantly to be becoming more general.

Keeping Eyes Bright.

There is no surer giveaway of age
or indicator Of ill-health than the
eye. 1t has been called "the window
of the SOUL" it might more truly be
dubbed the doorplate of the body and
it's habits. Many a woman who has a
soul above reproach has eyes that
show her body to be all wrong.
If one is fatigued, is over fond OF
eating, is a night owl. or is over
strained, the eye will be dull, heavy
and lifeless. Above all, the eye is
the sign of physical upheavals.
When the eye is not bright and
clear. especially If it looks puffy or
has that ''sick look" keep a sharp
watch for your health. 1t may be
only billiousness, but it may also be
kidney trouble or internal disarrange-
ment. Whatever the cause it is time
to discover 1t.
This is a far wiser plan than to
take anything to keepthe eyes bright.
There are women so foolish as to eat
arsenic under the impression that it
will brighten their eyes. 1t will also
ruin their nerves, weaken the heart,
and may eventually mean invalidism
for life.
Even more foolish is 1t to put
drops in the eyes to give them luster.
Why tamper with our most precious
possession? Never use anything in
the eye without consulting an ocu-
list. 1t is not safe to take risks with
a delicate organ. If nothing else de-
ters, the fear of glasses should teach
sense.
Should the eyes feel heavy they
