worn clothes look as good as new and
what I started to say was this: Very
often instead of sponging or naphtha
cleansing for wooden clothes, 1 wash
them in soap and water.
People seem to think that dark
clothes don't get dirty because you
don't see the dirt, but it's really there
just the same and l don't think It's
healthy. Just imagine If you wore a
white dress day in and day out all win
ter what it would look like. And then
remember that the same mount of
dirt is on your dark blue serge, only
it doesn't show and it's enough TO
make you sick. And besides that side
of it, dirt rots clothes and makes
them wear out more quickly. Now
naphtha takes spots out but it doesn' t
clean things like soap and water. So
when 1 have a dress to make over I
thoroughly in soap and water. That's
what makes my made-Over things look
new. Sometimes when I want to
freshen up a dress 1 take the skirt TO
pieces and wash it and sometimes
when 1 have an old dress that I'm not
afraid of shrinking. I put it right in
the tub just as it is and give it a good
scrub.

EVENING CHAT
e RUTH CAMERON.

My Dear Miss Having
noticed that you occasionally ask for
suggestions from your readers, I
thought I would write to you.
Sometime ago 1 was greatly trou-
bled with insomnia and the physical
evils consequent thereto and, after try
ing different remedies and undergoing
the usual doctoring with no results. I
finally tried the very simple plan Of
sleeping on a pillow of hops, and much
to my surprise was speedily cured of
this nerve-racking complaint
Should any of your readers COM
plain to you Of the same difficulty, you
would be doing a world of good by
suggesting this scheme, which is all the
better because 1t is devoid OF drugs,
and does not appear to leave any after
effect which most drugs do
It have recommended this plan to
several friends who were similarly
benefited. 1 would add, however,
that friend, physician, tells me that
different persons often require diff
ferent treatment and that he seldom
found two cases exactly alike. Never
theless I firmly think the use of hop
pillows for this malady is worth a
trial"
Three cheers for that man!
I don't know whether his remedy
| is valuable or not. but 1 do know that
HE IS, because he is the kind of man
| the world needs more of, the kind of
! man VINO Cannot Hldhe d ti1SSONSiy "a
receive a benefit or blessing without
feeling an obligation to pass it on to
the rest of the world
| I trust both his remedy and his ex-
ample will prove of value
Here is a suggestion for the put
away season from clever house
mother who is the wonder OF the
mothers of the neighborhood for her
skill in the art of freshening and max
| ing over worn clothes.
'When put away my winter dresses
| I always put them away clean, be
cause it's much harder to get the dirt
out when things have been lying dirty

much I hate to do it now-Fn hate
