To Wash Flannel Blouses

"I never wear flannel blouses, they wash so badly" a girl said to me the other day. But that Is probably because she dosent set about it in the right way. When washing new flannel, one should never expect the dirt to come out in the first lot of suds for 1t won't
 If there is much dressing in the ma teral three or even four lots of suds may be necessary. When all the dress ing is out, the suds will froth round your hand as you squeeze the blouse. and the longer you squeeze the more froth there will be. The dirt will not come out until it froths In ths way.
 Many people do not realize that this first washing is the most important of all. and that If the blouse is not properly washed then it will never look really nice again.
 Rinse well in warm water after wash ing, and when very nearly dry iron on the wrong side with a moderately hot flatiron.

From Hartford (Conn.) Times.
 The year 1916 has been called the year without a summer. for there were sharp frosts in every month. January was mild, so was February, with the exception of a few days. The greater part of March was cold and boisterous. April opened mild but grew colder as 1t advanced, ending with snow. ice and winter cold. In May ice formed one half inch thick, buds and flowers were frozen and corn killed. Frost, ice and snow were common in June. Almost every green thing was killed and the fruit was nearly all destroyed. Snow fell to the depth of three Inches in New York and Massachusetts. and ten inches in Maine. July was accompanied with frost and ice. On the 9th ice as thick as window glass was formed 'n New York. New England and Penns2l-

Apparently there are some men in the world who would not be likely to live long If by any possibility they should be betrayed into praising their wives.
