Batiste Waist and Lace
Buttons.

A BEAUTIFUL WAIST and one that is
easy to make is Of white batiste
tucked in fine tucks back and front to
bust line. graduating to the center IN
front. The trimming is made from
buttons" used in renaissance lace work,
which can be purchased at any fancy
work counter. Four Of these buttons
sewed together makes the width OF the
trimming, tapering to two at the ends.
Narrow val lace Is ruffled all around
the edge Of the trimming. Bands of this
trimming are brought around and MADE
to cross In front at the bust line. and
they cross over the shoulder caps and on
the elbow sleeves. Three rows OF val
lace edg. the sleeves.
The trimming does not cross In the
back. but q straight band comes from
the shoulder for q short distance on each
side of the orocheted buttons, which are
used to fasten the waist in the back.
A band of the trimming forms the collar
The batiste is cut out from under the
trimming wherever 1t appears. The
waist may either have high or low
collar. small Dutch collar may be
made of the buttons by rounding into
shape with different sizes of the buttons
and edging with val lace.

Embroidery Hints.

WHEN making the eyelet embroidery
w rub white soap on the cloth before
passing the stiletto through it. That will
give a stiffness to the cloth which will
enable you to make much better eyelet
When embroidering, do not use
long thread, as it gets worn and
breaks. Be sure to select needle
with an eve large enough to allow the
silk to pass through without tearing.
When washing either colored or
white embroidery, do not put soap on
the article or rub it. Instead wash by
gently squeezing a number of times
through lukewarm soap suds. and
rinsing in clear cool water
When embroidering an edge in seal
Hoped buttonhole stitch. do not cut out
the edge until after the embroidering
is done and the article has been
washed, If it is to be washed right
away. This will prevent having a
frayed edge on your work.
To bleach colored embroidery that
has become yellow from having been
laid away for q long time. put the ar
ticles to soak in buttermilk for two
or three days. then launder them in
the usual manner and you will find
them nicely bleached. Soak them in an
earthen bowl. never in a tin vessel.

Many women-perhaps the majority
wear their stockings as they come from
the store They should first be washed,
not only for the sake Of cleanliness, but
because they will wear better. The wash
ing will cause slight shrinkage. which
brings the threads together more COM
pletely. Soak them first in tepid water
in which little borax has been dis,
solved. then wash in tepid water and
rinse in two or three waters before hang
ing them UP to dry. Another reason why
this washing should be done Is because
you do not know what hands have held the
stockings before they came into your pos
session@whether they have always been
in the most clearly quarters or whether
any injurious dye is present.

CORRECT COSTUMES
FOR MOTORING

Dressing nowadays is not the simple
matter 1t used to be, and the well groom
ed woman has learned to be prepared for
almost any contingency.
For instance, to motor some distance
into the country to 3 luncheon requires
some forethought in the art of dressing
to look at all well on ones arrival. 1t Is
always safe in this case to fall back
on a neat coat and skirt, preferably in
fine dark blue serge with q smart blouse
of broderie anglaise or fine cambria with
a touch of dark blue. The hat. too, is a
subject on which it is necessary to be-
stow much serious consideration. as this
should be Of nature to sit well on the
head, so as not to make the wearer pre-
sent a disheveled and worried appear
ance. as is caused by ill-f1tting and inap
propriate headgear.
There is an art In tying on veil which
few women have mastered 1t really
takes the exercise of no little skill and
ingenuity-an incidentally an unlimited
supply Of pins and patience-to make 1t
behave as 1t should. The average Amer
lean woman possesses a wonderful knack
in trying on her wells. On the other hand,
there are some women who appear to
lack entirely this faculty and have never
been known yet to fasten veil on either
becomingly or securely.

Boracic Acid.

5rom the Scientific American.
Formerly all the boracic. or boric, acid
OF commerce was obtained from borax
by heating IL with calcined ferrous sui
phate in closed vessels. whereby eodoforic
acid was formed. and boracic acid was
carried on with the watery vapors. which
escaped.
This was q long and tedious process,
and not much progress was made until
II was discovered thai boracic acid could
be obtained from the boiling springs and
Jets Of vapor in Tuscany. Long after
the discovery Of boracic acid in these
springs. the brilliant idea struck the
physicist as well as the chemist to en-
pioy the heat OF the natural steam jets
This method had the effect of convert
ing an improbable branch OF industry
Into one of the most successful.
The lagoons are situated near the top
Of one of the highest hills. As the vol
canfc vapors pass through the waters of
the lGgoons the boracic acid is arrested
