REN0vATING THE TULLE VEIL
Few Moments Care and Trouble Will
Restore Adornment to Orig
inai Beauty.

Tulle wells that have become limp
may be renovated by pressing them
with warm iron, having first placed
handkerchief between the iron and
the tulle. Lace wells and scarfs should
be soaked in a strong lather Of white
soap and soft water and allowed to
simmer gently in saucepan over a
fire for about twenty minutes.
The wells should be lifted out and
squeezed tightly, but not rubbed, then
rinsed out in cold water. The second
lot OF water should be family tinged
with blue and have in 1t small guam
tity Of hot starch. Clear the wells OF
any particles of the starch by clap
ping well between the hands; then
pin on clean white cloth and allow,
to dry. In this manner they will look
as fresh and clean as when new, and
they may be washed any number Of
times. Wells should always be ironed
with handkerchief or piece OF fine
linen between, as they, are much bet
ter and wear longer If they do not
come in direct contact with the iron.

COLLECTORS TO ORGANIZE.
Individual Collectors Seek to Protect
Their Interests.

LAWYERS and collectors from 135
cities and towns of Wisconsin met in
Milwaukee and organized the Wiscon-
sin Collectors association.
The purpose of the organization is to
protect the Individual collectors against
the larger eastern agencies which are
invading the field, and which local men
pronounce unreliable. A fund of $500
was raised at the meeting and it will
be spent for advertising and promoting
the business of the association.
The organization will further be a
help in that persons sought by the col
lectors and who move from city to city
in the state may still be reached
through the many branches.
The following were elected officers
President, G. Il. Williams, Janestille
