HOW TO MAKEGUEST
ROOM ATTRACTIVE
1t Should Be Simple and
Immediately Clean.

Comfort in a guest room is greatly to
he desired. but is more a matter OF
! thoughtfulness than of money. Simple
itv. immaculate cleanliness and refresh
ing coloring are requisites of the ideal
guest ROOM Have an extra quilt thrown
over the foot Of the bed, eiderdown in
winter. lightweight cotton or a silk
blanket in summer. Have table near
the bed on which stand a night lamp
and a tray with pitcher and glasses for
ice water. Have plenty Of hangers in
the closets. See that the bureau drawers
are empty and immaculately clean. and
that all the necessary toilet articles are
on top.
Guests usually prefer to bring their
own toilet accessories, but one must not
count on that so all the necessary toilet
articles should be on the bureau. There
should be plenty of towels, soap and
wash cloth There should be n com
Portable chair and a lounge il possible.
The writing equipment is also an essen
tial in the guest room. There must be
a desk or a table with attendant ma
terials and a book of stamps.
A work basket we'll furnished, and
several interesting books or magazines
will add much to the comfort of the
room. And last of all. see that there
is a good reading damp of some kind
placed where your guest or guests may
read after dark or at any time without
strafning their eyes trying to read be-
meath a high placed and probably poor
light

BY JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

I have found a new name for WASH
ington. 1t used to be called the City
Of Magnificent Distances. I am going to
christen it the City of Beautiful Babies.
Wouldn't you?
I am sure you would II you saw all
the pretty pictures which come to me
every day. They are the most charming
collection of sweet dimpled faces I have
ever seen. 1 do not wonder that their
fathers and mothers are proud and
happy.
Look at the faces of the little ones
whose portraits are reproduced on the
Woman's Page Of The Washington Her
aid this morning. Master Jack LoOmis
and little Miss Marjorie LoOmis, the
children of Mr.. and Mrs. ". c. Loomis,
are a sturdy, healthy pair of little ones
who are certain to grow into a splendid
man and woman. Did you ever see such
a cheerful smiling face as that of Winter
Kondrup Graves, the eight-months-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. W. Graves. He
looks as If the world was treating him
well, and as If he had never had a touch
of collie in his brief life. And then how
serene and happy is James Stratton

five months, and whose parents are Mr..
and Mrs. George w. DietZ. You are

Many Attractive Prizes.
The Borden Baby Contest, with it's 220
prizes. is becoming more and more pop
ular every day. 1t closes November 16,
and the first prize, $50 in gold, will make
nice little nest egg for the baby's bank
account. Then there is a collection of
prizes that every mother will appreciate.
There is. for example, a Childs hand
some crib, made of solid brass, stain
finished, and complete with mattress,
pillow and spread Then there is a
diamond set gold locket, a handsome 60
cart, a solid gold-lined bowl and plate,
a solid silver cup, a baby's high chair,
wool blankets and many other attractive
articles. There is an opportunity for
babv to win one of these.
How to Secure Photograph.
Many mothers have written me about
getting photographs II you have no
suitable photograph-and the judges are
to choose from photographs-we have
arranged to have your babys picture
taken without charge. You may take
a label from a can of Borden's Eagle
Brand condensed milk and the entry
blank in The Daily Herald, correctly fill
ed out, to the Bachrach Studio. 1881 F
street northwest. who will take a photo
graph of the baby without Charge and
will send it to the Borden's Baby Con-
test editor, care Washington Herald.
l would advise you to take the baby
to the studio in the forenoon, as you
can then avoid delay and the morning
light is sure to be better for the picture.
Appeal to the Heart.
Nothing has interested in long time so
much as this Baby Contest. My own ba-
bies have grown up,and though they are
still babies to me, they have passed the
age limit of the contest. So feast my
eyes upon the pictures which come to
me every day and shower unspoken
blessings upon the little ones. They are
so pretty and so appealing that they
touch my heart. wish for every mother
and father whose baby is in the con-
test the greatest joy and happiness for
their charming children.

THE DAINTIEST LINGERIE is
MADE AT HOME BY HAND

Dainty undergarments made by hand
are the very acme of refinement and
good taste Women who enjoy hand
sewing and have the time can make
many beautiful pieces of lingerie, but
there are certain rules to follow
French seams are found on all those
lovely hand-sewed garments that are
made in the converts of Europe. To
make 4 French seam: Run a plain seam
on the right side of the material, trim
it off very closely, turn and crease
down. then run another seam conceal
ing the raw edges of the first.
A felled seam is made by running a
plain seam. trimming one edge on
close. turning the wider edge over 1t
as a hem and then hemming down fiat.
The side seams on Chemises and
nightdresses are usually felled.
lace inserting should be sewed with
an overcasting stitch to the rolled edge
of the material.
Lace edging almost always has
heavy thread on the edge, which serves
as a gathering thread. When sewing
on edging, Overseam the gathered edge
of the lace to the rolled edge Of the
material.
To let in lace insertion forming a de-
sign, baste the lace to the right side of
the material and hem it down on both
edges.
Now cut the material away from un-
derneath the lace, leaving a small seam
each side.
Crease the seam back, turn as for a
hem and overseam it, making your
stitching close to the line of hemming-
in those same stitches, if possible.
Beading is often applied with a
French seam.
Be sure always to run the first seam
The Washington herald., 1911-11-03
To Wash Lace.

First let the lace soak some time in
water in which borax has been dissolved
in the proportion of a teaspoonful to a
pint of water. Then make a nice lather
Of good white soap. Fill wide mouthed
bottle two-thirds full, put in the lace
and shake it we'll if much soiled, change
the water. Rinse in warm water, ther
in cold, still in the bottle, so as to han
die it as little as possible." By sleeping
yellow lace several hours in hot sweet
milk, one can get 1t back 10 its original
color. Remember that old lace should
not be white; a certain creamy tint that
comes with age is greatly admired. yal.
liable lace should never be ironed while
wet. Pin 1t on a board covered with
flannel, being careful to pick out all the
points. Leave until d. y then take out the
pins and press with a moderate hot
iron on the wrong side to raise the pat
ern, and IT will look like new again.
The Washington herald., 1911-11-03
Hints from Japan.

In arranging flowers in a low bowl OF
dish for the center OF the table a splendid
idea is one borrowed from the Japanese
round basket without a handle made Of
cane or bamboo is inverted in the bowl
and the stems of the flowers are put
through the round holes of the basket.
This makes a graceful arrangement for
a mass of flowers like Crysanthemums,
asters. roses. tulips &c, and holds the
flowers in place
China bottles, which the Japanese use
for their wine, make splendid oil and
sauce bottles Tor our table. The bottles
usually come in pairs, and are some
times put in basket-like trays which
makes them doubly attractive. They are
fitted with tight COrks.
japanese straw sandals are ideal for
bedroom slippers. They are inexpensive
and may be purchased in any japanese
store. They are either made with the
thick woven sOles and cross straps or
with thin matted toe covering like
''moles."

Stuffed Beef Heart.

In these days Of high priced meats one
can make many savory dishes of mex
pensive bits. Take beef heart, clean
it carefully. fill with a dressing made as
for chicken or turkey. q used an equal
amount of mashed potatoes and bread
crumbs, seasoned with sage, summer
savory pepper or salt, and moistened
with beef drippings or butter, and add
one or two chopped oniOns.) Fasten to-
gether with skewers or twine steam four
hours and bake one hour and a half,
basting well. Make a thickened gravy
of the drippings

Laundry Bag.

Many housekeepers find II quite a
problem how to send large weeks
washing to the laundress. A big, durable
bag is excellent to use. Buy enough un-
bleached sheeting to cut large circular
piece-the width Of the sheeting will de-
termine the amount required. Make a
casing all around about three inches
from the edge when hemmed. Run In
inch-wide tape. Lay the bag out fiat
on the floor and toss the clothes in as
they are counted. This bag saves your
nice big sheets that are SO often used
to tie up the family washing.
The Washington herald., 1911-11-03

on the right side Of the material, so
that when turned and sewed the final
seam will be on the wrong side.
Beading is also put on with rolled
edges.
Roll the edge Of the material, also
the edges Of the beading, and overseam
them both together.
The very best way to apply beading
is to cut on the material close to the
embroidered edge Of the beading and
overseam the embroidered edge Of the
material By following these directions
the careful needlewoman cannot go
wrong in making hand-sewed under
wear.
The Washington herald., 1911-11-03
Pumpkin Help.

Perhaps many housekeepers may not
know that it is not necessary to peel
a pumpkin in preparing it for pies.
Wash your pumpkin carefully and re-
move seeds and stringy portion inside,
then cut the shell, skin. and all into
small pieces and cook with just enough
water to prevent burning till dry and
mealy. Rub through a colander and
you will have your pumpkin prepared
with half the trouble of the old way.

/, an Oath Worthls.si

In all seriousness, the Chicago
Tribune asks the question, "Is an oath
worthless?" and as moving cause for
its inquisitiveness, explains:
There has been a glib giving OF testi-
mony before the United States senate sub
committee investigating the Lorlmer cleo
ton that will move all men to wonder
whether perjury is a crime in the United
States
The room in which the senate sub
committee is conducting its investiga-
ton is not the only place where that
binding quality of an oath is not
recognized. Every little while some
plain and palpable case of perjury is
exposed right in front of our faces, but
successful criminal prosecution OF a
perjurer is rarer than the appearance
of an iceberg at the Equator An
official hearing was had in Omaha a
few months ago on charges alleging a
shakedown Of subordinates by the
postmaster, and one set of witnesses
under oath testified to the same trans
actions Numerically opposite to an
other set of witnesses. No wonder
people wonder whether there can be
such thing as perjury in the United
| States.
