Please tell me the name of Billie Burke's
mother before her marriage. and where she
lives at present, and where she lived when
| a child. Very truly. R.R-
/ assume that your last questions re-
fer to Billie, and not her mother. Billie
Burke's mothers name was Blanche
Burke (maiden name unknown). She
was a professional, and therefore it Is
difficult to find what her real name
was. Billie was born in this city. on
August Z. 1886. At that time her father
was Glowing with Barnum 4 Bailey's
circus. and the Burkes had no perma-
| nent home. Report has IT that Burke
| went abroad with the circus, and that
Billie was left in England, where she
/ went to school, later being sent to a
school in France. She maintains a per-
manent home in England. but none in
this country. Her address is: care
Charles Frohman. Empire Theater
building. New York.

Can you tell me what will bleach an ecru
muller white? By doing 80, you viii DO
$50 Mrs. Nov.
1 am afraid that anything you try to
bleach the mufier will only make II
more creamy. You might, however, try
using a weak solution of peroxide of
hydrogen. Do not put 1t in hot water,
or use a hot iron upon it, as this will
turn 1t yellow. Placing it in the sun
will also turn it yellow. II the per-
oxide does not prove effectual my ad-
vice would be to allow 1t to remain
cream colored.
Times Inquiry Department:

Red pepper sprinkled plentifully about
