and water and exposed to the sun for a
day and glycerin and alcohol in equal
quantities are said to be valuable in the
removal of fruit stains, should one be so
unfortunate as To have uphOlsteres SO

After applying this mixture clean warm
water should be used as rinse.
In using all remedies 1t should be borne
in mind that rubbing roughens the ma
terial. so gentle dabbing OF the solvent,
with the use of clean cloth. answers the
purpose. 1t is a mistake to spread stains
by the careless use of home remedies.
If in the process of removing stains the
color becomes affected it can generally be
restored by touching lightly with chloro-
form
Tapestry coverings may be thoroughly
and if faded or shabby may be freshened
by wiping quickly with a clean cloth
wrung out of solution of ammonia, one
to twenty parts of hot water.
For ink stains ink eradicator is recon-
mended. Fresh ink stains will disappear
if quickly covered with salt. Varnish
stains may be removed with alcohol.
Frames of upholstered furniture will
need freshening as much as the covering.
so if the wood is dirty it should first be
washed with warm soap and water. This
process will not harm any kind of wood.
After the cleansing the wood should be
wiped thoroughly dry with clean rags and
then polished. For this process there are
many prepared polishes, but personally |
have been successful with a mixture o.
crude oil and turpentinc in equal quaint
ties. This finsher is applied to the wood
with piece of flannel and afterward pol
ished with soft rag. There may be pol
ishes that are more brilliant for the time,
but the homemade one | speak OF lasts.

time.
When the empty dishes are taken out
serving plate goes down before each
person. Should the meat be put on the
plates in the pantry. as is sometimes
done. the serving plates are taken up
when those for meat are put down. An
other way of serving meat is to carve it
in the pantry and then pass the platter
with the carving fork and big spoon
to each person. that he may help himself
In this case empty meat plates are put
down when the soup plates are removed.
When this system is followed vegetables
are passed as is the meat platter, and
succeeding courses similarly.
If there are candies or fruit they are
not taken about by the maid until after
the finger bowls are brought. When the
latter are put down each person takes his
own bowl and doyley from the plate and
puts them at the left side. Then the maid
passes a little dish of chocolates that
will have been on the table through the
meal and fruit. should there be any.
Fruit is. however, rarely served in this
fashion at dinner.
Sailed nuts follow the soup Radishes
and celery should be on the table that
they may be eaten during the interval of
serving the fish meats. vegetables. etc
Nuts remain on the table thrOu ghout
dinner, but jelly. celery pickles are re-
moved Ofter the salad or before dessert
Maids do not use trays now. a folded
fresh dinner napkin being held in the
palm of the hand instead.

Housekeepers doubtless will take adj
vantage of these pleasant fall days to
renovate and freshen upholstered furni-
ture that has been swathed in linen COW
ers during the summer months. Writing
of these slip covers reminds me of re-
mark once made in my presence by an
authority on upholstery He said: People
cover their furniture as a means of pre-
serving it. and while the colors may be
kept from fading, slips really hasten the
wear of the article beneath. especially If
the furniture is in constant use"
AS rule housekeepers put on the COW
ers in early summer and seldom remove
them until fall, being content to use
whisk or a cloth to wipe off dust.
And as dust Sits through covers in al
most the same way that it does through
floor coverings. the fabric beneath be-
comes full of dust and when sat upon a
continual grind is kept up by the particles
under the slips, so that when the uphol-
stery fabric is of silk dust often cuts it
in places Oftentimes dust eats into the
pile of velvet and plush, making disods-
ment so difficult that vigorous means
must be used to clean it, and, naturally,
this destroys the fabric.
After removing the covers the furniture
should be taken into the open air. and ii

lightly beaten with a rattan carpet beat

For this cleaning the best implement
for removing dust from under the tufts
is a small round paint brush. sufficiently

TO SERVE DINNER.

The attractiveness of q dinner table de-
ponds much upon the maids interest In
her work. but despite this virtue 1t may
be necessary to instruct her in the proper
way of arranging 1t. For instance, she
must be told that besides the pieces on
the table she will need extra plates on the
side table or in the pantry. These are the
SERVING" plates, and an inexperienced
maid usually must be instructed in their
purpose which is to put them on the ia

considered good form to have a place be-

to lift the old plate, and with the left
putting the service plate in place.
No serving of any kind is done now on
the table Roasts are carved in the pam
try and vegetables are kept there. Soup
tureens are not.
Whether or not the soup shall be served
before dinner is announced depends upon
the individual wish of the housekeeper,
But If ii is not served before, there must
be an empty soup plate at each persons
place. and then. as soon the family is
