Cleaning With Gasoline.

Chiffon ruchings, which are soiled.
but not crushed" says Florence NJ
Myers. in Woman's Home Companion
for April, "can be rejuvenated by
shaking them in clear gasoline, and
then drying them in the sunshine and
air Small articles, such as fancy
neckwear in general. which must be
treated gently, can be put into a fruit
jar nearly filled with gasoline. Using
a rubber ring, screw the top on tight
ly. Let the articles soak for some
time, and then shake them vigorously
Rinse in the same manner in clear
gasoline. Dhy in the sunshine and
air.
"Coat-collars can often be cleaned by
V'ettiug a cloth in gasoline and then
rubbing the soiled part. Occasionally,
if the fabric will warrant it and is very
much soiled, / have used an old tooth
brush for this purpose, instead of the
cloth. Neckties cannot always be
cleaned by the simple rubbing pro-
cess. If that is so, try using a brush
dipped in gasoline, to scrub the very
sOiled parts. Satin, of course, does
not Permit of this treatment. Grease
spots can he removed by rubbing the
spot with q good white soap after the
article has ben soaked in gasoline.
Rub nard and rinse thoroughly. Case
line in which soap has been used can
not be used a second time. White kid
gloves. as every one knows, can be
successfully cleaned in gasoline. and
almost every one has her own special
method COlOred gloves do not clean
wei, as rule. IT is best not to try
them.
DO not buy a quantity Of gasoline
and store it to use from time TO time.

issue policies-or pay them-if this is

The temptation to have twice rs

ION" says Grace Margaret Gould in
Nomans Home Companion for April
The new fabrics are so alluring that
each one seems just suited TO a GER
tain type Of gown. The linens, for In -
stance. are shown in the greatest mum
Der Of new and fascinating weaves.
There is the granite linen. which re-
sembles basket weave and has a
sheen Of silk through IL, and is just
the smartest sort OF material for a
one-piece dress or a skirtand coat
suit. Then there is the new linen
which comes in the very latest French
shades, and is hard to tell from pOplin.
IT shows a. decided cord. The Shan
tung linens are serviceable substi-
tute for the silks by that name, and
every woman who gets just bit OF a
glimpse of the new fancy linens in
black and white effects will feel she
must have at least one dress fashioned
of them"

What 'Nary Cary" Says About It,

What "Mary Cary" Says About It,
Tiresome talk is hard not to hear
il makes you so mad.
A diary is something you can tell
things to and not get in trouble.
That's the way with life. When
things are going. you try to hold them
back; and IL you get them. you'd
maybe wish you hadn't
Heaven isn't a place; it's = feeling.
When you don't like a thing. can
you eat it? You cannot That is. in
summer you can't; in winter it's a
little easier.
When there's love enough, you can
stand everything. When there isn't.
you can stand nothing.
There are a great many things that
are no use. One is in telling people
what they don't want TO know.
