A Christmas Gift.

Dear Miss Doom:
VIII you kindly advise me by an
swering the following question::
l ave been keeping company with a
young man for about six months, and
as Christmas is near at hand I do not
know if 1t would be proper for me to
give him a present or not. If so, What
would you suggest. as / ave never
bought a young man a Christmas pres
ent before.
Thanking you in advance, 1 remain,
sincerely yours, MAY.
If by keeping company" you mean
that an unannounced .S-gement ex-
lists it will be perfectly proper for you
t remember the soung man at Christ
mas time. Not knowing his tastes it is
hard for me to know what sort of gift
VIII be most acceptable TO him, but all
men find it convenient to have a
pocketbook, a leather wallet, a foun-
tain pen and a penknife. If he smokes
a match safe or a cigar cutter will be
appropriate. A nicely bound copy of
his favorite book, an ink stand, a desk
calendar, d brass book rack, an UNI
brella, may be added to the list. II
you are FOND of embroidering and wish
the gift to assume more of the personal
nature, you might embroider a tie rack
o: a collar or cuff box. I hope this list
will be of some service to you.

Dear Miss Doom
Kindly tell me how to wash a blue
poplin skirt. 1t is of dark blue. l do
not wish it to fade. / have a lavender
dress. While ironing l scorched it.
Please advise me how TO remove the
sc~orches. B. IL.
efore washing 3nlft soak II IN
cold water, in which has been dissolved
a generous supply Of salt. This will
tend to set the color. If the fabric has
not been burned the scorcE can be re-
moved by either soaking it and then
exposing it to the sun or by soaking 1t
in lukewarm water, sprinkling with
lemon juice and salt and then exposing
il TO the sun. You haven't told me
what kind of material our dress is, SO
l cannot guarantee that the latter
treatment will not have al injurious
effect on tie color. AS you scorched 1t
! assume that it is washable material
and know hat the first treatment will
not iniurc it. If the stain is stubborn
and win not yield to the first process
experiment with the sa.. and lemon on
the hem of the gown before using it
where discoloration will show.

ALL WORK AND NO PLAY.

Many women are the best wives,
mothers and housekeepers possible, but
they are unfortunately only too often
the slaves of their household duties,
and nothing is so difficult as to escape
being such a slave, once a woman has
put on the letters. 1t is all very well
to take a pride in seeing that every
thing is in apple-pie order upstairs
and downstairs, but the home Marthas
must bear in mind that intellectual
pursuits are, in their way, quite as
necessary as domestic occupations.
Every wife should be able to talk
about current events, music, literature
and the lighter things of life; a little
commonplace talk at dinner acts as the
best sauce piquant, and however much
"a mar appreciates a good dinner and a
comfortable flreside he equally appre-
ciates a wife who can talk"
So, the woman who has a tendency to
become a slave to her house must not
forget to spare time for reading as well
as for cooking and contriving, and the
result of the intellectual hour will be
restful to her own nerves, and pro-
ductive of pleasure to the person she
undoubtedly strives to please-her hus-
band.

evening before retiring cover the entire
face with a thin layer of ordinary mer-
colized wax, which you can get at any

For the Household

To wash thin feather beds immerse
the whole bed IN hot water, soap the
ticking slightly and knead thegbed with
the hands. This will be found rather
easy to DO if the tick is soft and pill
able. OF course, the bed takes consid-
cradle time to dry, but there is no Ian
ger of mildew if it is frequently stirred
and shaken.
The best way to preserve flower and
garden seeds from the ravages of mice
and other household pests is to dry
them thoroughly and put them into
bottles, which should be left uncorked.
Labels are rarely required, as the seeds
are recognizable through the glass and
they will likewise be in good condition
when planting season arrives.
To make excellent smelling salts in
extensively, take two ounces of water
of ammonia, seven drops of oil OF
lemon, four drops of oil of bergamot,
two drops Of oil of lavender, enough
ammonium carbonate in coarse pieces
of nearly the same size to fill the jar
and then pour the liquid mixture ovel
! them.
To make library or Photographic
paste, dissolve eight ounces Of best
white dextrine in twelve and one-hali
ounces of water at 100 degrees Fahren-
heit; let it cool and add three drops
each of oil of wintergreen and oil Of

continues, which means avoiding head
washes of a harmful nature.
with ordinary canthrox one can enjoy
the delights of a cleansing, soothing and
very beneficial shampoo. Just dissolve a
teaspoonful In a cup of hot water and your
shampoo is ready. This rubbed on the
