Helpful Hints

You may cure a wasp sting by rub ping the place with slice of raw onion
 Hot water, applied to bleeding cut will often stop the flow of blood quick ly
 Dulled patent leather shoes may be frightened and cleaned with spirits of turpontine.
 Shaving magnesia is good substitute for talcum powder, as it is harmless and does not adhere to the skin.
 If little carbonate of soda be mixed in the water, the flowers placed in it will keep for two or three weeks
 Rubbing the shoes frequently with a little vaseline will make them last much longer and keep them black and soft.
 A rose potpourri may be made by packing fresh rose petals between alter. nate layers of salt and keeping the jar covered six months.
 The skin of a boiled egg, moistened and applied to a boil, will cause suppur. ation and relieve soreness in a few hours. It is excellent for styes.
 To remove rust from steel make a paste of fine emery powder and kero. sene, rub on and let stand little while. Then polish vigorously with rag dip ped in oil.
 Never wear one pair of shoes day after day. Two pair of shoes, worn al. ternately, will last longer than three pairs worn one after the other until worn out. Try it.
 Do not nut hot jelly preserves into cold glasses. Put the glasses into a pan with hot water and keep them in the pan until the timo has come to fill them.
 The thrifty housewife allows the starch left over from ironing day to settle; then she pours off the water and dries the starch, when it may be used again next time.
 Brasses take a most beautiful polish If they are washed in mixture of one ounce of alum and pint of i've, boiled together for short time and then ap- piled with rag or brush while hot.
 Worn brooms or whisks may be dip ped into hot water and the ueven edges trimmed with shears. This will make the straw considerably harder and the trimming will make the broom almost as good as new.
 For perspiring hands wash them in very hot water, then dry them well and dust with either yeopodium or powder of three parts salicylic acid, tale seven parts and starch twenty parts. Use quite frequently. |
 To wash a sweater coat make soap suds with warm water to which has been added small quantity of borax. Rub the sweater gently with the hands, rinse in several waters, button on a wooden coat hanger, hook to line where the wind can blow through it and stretch the garment into it's proper shape while it is drying.

Ornamental Necessity

Milady's purse must go where she goes and stop where she stops,
 Wherefore it is but an opportunity to add another charming detail to her eos, tune.
 The newest, perhaps, at a time when new things are appearing in droves, is the purse made of long beads.
 The beads are to be had in all colors to match any costume.
 They are placed rather far apart, so that some sort of lining to the bag is necessary.
 For thin silk or satin the exact shade is chosen, as it shows through.
