tween e and F streets today for a
cents pair. They were OF black silk
or splendid wearing quality, so the
clerk who showed them to me said, and
they came In all sizes. There also were
some o ehildren's closely ribbed stockings
Tor l2h cents pair.
The long fiannelette kimono is q nec-
essary comfort these cool days, and I
saw today what every woman would
concede to be a great bargain in them.
In store In @ street. near Eleventh,
there are some kimonos marked Ss
cents. They come in pink, blue, gray,
red. and white, and are daintily decora,-
ed with fowered designs. Down either
side there Is strip of sateen, and also
around the cuffs. The material is SOFT
and fleecy, and makes quite warm
garment for winter wear.
In store in @ street, on the south
side. near Eleventh, I saw some dainty
chiffon and silk waists marked 33.9s.
They were gray. blue, brown, white,
and mauve. One gray waist was
especially pretty. 1t was a thin pale
gray chiffon yelling over filmy white
lace undermining. It was embroidered
In front with a black and gold embroid-
cry silk, and trimmed with the tiniest
wee plack buttons that ever were made.
I saw very pretty lot of beaded
bags in store in F street today. be-
tween Twelfth and Thirteenth streets,
for as low as $1.5O. These bags were in
black and white. and had very dainty
gold and silver beads worked in con-
trasting design upon them. There also
were some very good looking bags in
black morocco leather with a long cord
and oxidized silver frame marked $.39.
One does not see every day a complete
little manicure set in Partisan ivory
packed up in fairly good sized buffer
for the nails marked S. There was
every thing a woman could need tucked
away in the hollow part Of this buffer.
The powder box, the nail file, and all
other accessories that go to make UP
my lady's manicuring set.

Method Suggested
For Cleaning Gloves

Take little sweet milk and piece
of white or brown soap. Fold O clean
towel three or four times. spread It
over your dress and spread out the
glove smoothly upon 1t. Take q large
piece Of white flannel, dip it in the milk.
then rub it upon the soap and rub the
glove downward toward the fingers,
holding the wrist Of 1t by the left hand.
Continue this process until the glove, II
white, looks Of dingy yellow, but, II
colored. looks dark and entirely spoiled.
Now let 1t dry and then put II on your
hand and 1T will be soft. smooth. glossy
and Clean. Take care, however. to omit
no part Of the glove in rubbing Il and
see that all the soiled parts are thor.
only to white and colored kid gloves.
For black gloves that are eoiled.
turned white and otherwise injured,
take a teaspoonful Of salad oil. drop q
few drops Of ink into 1t, and rub It all
over the gloves with the tip Of feath-
err, then let them dry in the sun.
White kid boots and slippers can also
be cleaned by the first process to look
'as good as new." and black kid boots
AMI slippers can be restored to their
pristine gloss by the latter method.

Various Methods Of
Cooking Potatoes
Soak old potatoes in Watar.

Soak old potatoes in water.
Change the water while cooking II
strong.
Always pour of the water as soon
as done and remove the cover to allow
the steam to escape.
Never allow potatoes to stand In the
sun.
Potatoes cooked in their Jackets
should be pierced to allow the steam
to escape.
Baked potatoes should be rolled In q
cloth till the skins burst This prevents
the potatoes from cooking too long,
which makes them sticky and soggy.
Potatoes should be simmered (not
boiled). 1t Is a waste Of fuel and spoils
the potatoes. Too rapid boiling makes
them a solid paste. which is both un-
palatable and indigestible.
Cook potatoes with the skins on al
often as possible. They are more nour.
.shing and palatabie. Potatoes are de.
licious cooked in their Jackets. peeled
and mashed.
Potatoes may be kept warm a Ions
time without spelling, If the skins are
broken and the kettle we'll ventilated

have large and painful bunion on my
foot, which I have had for a long time.
I have tried wearing old shoes and painting
Il with iodine, but nothing helps 1t. Will
You please tell me what else can do?
G. F.
The following treatment for a bunion
might help you: Get a bunion plaster
of the druggist, and nick with the
scissors, around the inside circle or
opening. Moisten tho plaster and put
1t over the 'bunion. Put a small wedge
Of felt between the great toe and the
second toe, which will throw the foot
more into shape. 1t will greatly re-
heve the pressure on the joint. Draw
the stocking on carefully. When you
put your shoe on you will find that the
enlarged joint does not begin to show
az much with the plaster on as with
out. And all irritation is prevented
by wearing the plaster, which makes
It impossible for the leather to come in
contact with the sore joint or irritate
It. You might also use this bunion
cure: Carbolic acid fluid drains; tine
ture of iodine, 2 fluid drains; slycerine,
2 fluid drains.
