grape stains on her white dress,
and w. L. S." found cocoa stains
on her tablecloth since these arti-

stains and makes it almost impos-

will do it but laying the stained
portions across a bowl filled with
boiling water and two tablespoon
fuls alcohol, and this may fail.
It's worth trying, anyhow, and
give it good trial. Steam it
well, then rinse in cool water. l

nobleman who had bought a great

pay for, SO that he was deeply in
debt. He went away from his
home to another part of the coun-

ocean, he decided that he would
go with the expedition.
But he knew that the explorer
had all the men employed on
board that he needed, and he
didn't have enough money to pay
his fare. He thought and plan
ned a long time, but he could not
see how he could get aboard the
boat. But after talking it over
with one of his friends he hit on
plan.
