HANG LIGHT -COLORED GOWNS
IN SOFT BAGS MADE AT HOME

For the woman who does not care to
do fancy work during the vacation time,
when leisure hours are many, and who
expects to be entertained socially next
winter, good plan is to make several
long bags Of soft material for her closets.
These are OF the greatest service in
keeping her evening gowns clean and
fresh during the winter campaign.
No matter how particular you are to
clean closets, the dust-Iaden atmosphere
Of the city is bound to filter through
cracks in the doors and settle on the

after hanging in the closet for two or
three weeks, get a slight grayish tinge
that ruins their freshness.
Fine muslin, gauzes, satin, silk. and
chiffon are bound to be affected In this
way If they are not protected from the
ravages Of dust.
The simplest bags to make are of un-
bleached cotton sheets. Get the size
for a double bed, fold It over once and
sew 1t across the bottom and UP one
side, leaving the top open. Now run a
tape drawing-string through the hem

WOMEN MAY FIND PROFIT
IN RAISING MUSHROOMS

A shed or unused barn which will pro-
vide against any sudden changes of the
Temperature, are suitable for mushroom
culture, and when 1t is possible to en-
ploy artificial heat the season for mush-
room production in such structures may
be greatly extended.
Cellars are very commonly used in
producing mushrooms for family use
Natural or artificial caves are of the
first Importance, however for commercial
work. since the situation of these below
the surface will best insure a temperature
Throughout almost the entire year more
| or less close to that which is desired,
In selecting caves or cellars, one should
guard against the possibility of flooding
or of too much seepage water during a
rainy season.
Grow Under Benches.
Perhaps the least satisfactory situation
among those mentioned is the green
house. Under ordinary circumstances il
heats up too readily during the days OF
warm sunshine and, unless special pre-
cautions are taken, it is not to be gen
orally recommended for amateurs. Never
theless, during the fall and winter II is
possible to grow mushrooms under the
benches or in any other unused space
with but very little outlay of money or
labor.
Cold frames may also be used to good
advantage during the autumn or spring.
Ordinarily the manure used for fer
tilizing is obtained as fresh as possible.
1t should include the straw used in bed
ding the animals, and the quantity of
the straw will determine to some extent
the value of the manure The straw OF
cereals is far better than that of most
other grasses. The more resistant straws
seem greatly to improve the texture OF
the compost for mushroom purposes.
Commercially it is a mistake to at
tempt TO get the manure freefrom straw.

An Original Hint.

profit by my discovery of a way TO have
watermelon pickles both transparent and
spicy. AS all who have made them
know, the pickles are transparent II no
spice is added. but even if it is inclosed
in a cheesecloth bag and added, the rind
is darkeQed, and the appearance of the
preserve is to a certain extent spoiled.
AS an experiment. l had my druggist

When Making Jam.
When making jam or marmalade try
the following, which Is much easier than
the old-fashioned way. which requires
great amount of stirring. Prepare the
fruit as usual when making jelly and
after boiling it just long enough 10 re-
lease the juice pour it into a cOlander
and let II stand for five or ten minutes.
Remove the juice which has run through
and after working the pulp through put
three cups OF juice and the same amount
OF sugar into a large shallow pan. AL
low this to boil violently until II will
''jell" when tested. Then add one and
one-half cups OF the pulp and one-half
cup of sugar Stir while this boils about
five or eight minutes and 1t is done.
The result is the same rs that obta
by the old method and the work Is not
one third as great and there is much
less danger of scorching. J. ". P.
why Fruit SpoiIs.
A common error often indulged in when
canning fruit is that of retightening the
covers of glass jars after the same have
become thorough cold. This never should
be done, as 1t loosens the cement, which
is formed by the rubber ring of common
fruit Jars coming in contact with the
heat, which makes the jars air-tight. The
proper method is to fill the jars to the
top with the boiling fruit, put on the rub
Der rings and screw the covers on as tight
as possible, turning the jars bottom side
up and allowing TO stand until perfectly
cold. Then place in the fruit cupboard.
II this method is followed, a spoiled jar
of fruit will be a rarity. Z. T.

ELASTIC BANDS AROUND
YOUNG GIRLS HAIR

Girls have invented quite a clever
scheme this summer to keep their locks
In place in or out Of the house by using
the tniest kind Of hat elastic around
the hair. 1t matches their locks and
does not show. 1t makes a tiny ridge,
barely visible, where it tightens the
hair, but the locks can easily be pulled
up above It with hairpin.
1t Keeps the hair from blowing down
on the neck and over the face. and
gives a trim, trig look over the forshead
and ears. 1t is not as substantD Sas
a net, but 1t is much less trouble to put
on, and serves very well for those who
cannot wear the other. The elastic Is
tied around the hair in a tiny knot with
cut ends.

For Twisted Thread.

The woman who sews is very often an
noyed by having the thread twist into
knots. especially II she is using a long
thread.
Waxing the thread by running 1t over
a BIT OF beeswax is the proper way to
avoid this trouble; but wax sometimes
discolors the thread slightly and is not
always desirable on that account.
For either silk or cotton thread you
can use, the same as wax, a small piece
of pure white soap that is perfectly dry.
This makes the thread slip through the
material very easily and absolutely pre-
vents twisted knots.

A Child's Dress.

II your little daughter has reached that
age when her dresses, which were made
early in the season, have become too
short because she is running up like a
weed" you will find It necessary to let
out the hens in the skirts.
DO this when the dress is ready for the
tub and not after It has been freshly
Iaundered.
A good way to do Is to lower the hem
half It's width. stitching the hem In
again where the crease of the former
lower edge Is marked Then when It is
washed and ironed there win be no un-
slightly dark mark on the hem. for the
present stitching will quite conceal this.

There are some things not Of common
knowledge by far that the embroiderer

OF these is the use of an aluminium
thimble in place OF the silver or gold
one of which you might be the proud
possessor. The steel or the silver or
gold thimbles are worked into shape,
and this causes the silk to catch on
Now the everywhere apparent and little
used aluminium thimble is pressed into

still large enough to haggle and harass
the silk. For the same reason use a
