the work of Judging and awarding Of
prizes had begun and the tags gave
evidence of the worth and merits of
the articles to which they were at

The Discussion Of te Iest sossfp=:
THE PLAIN GIRL.
HY LUCILLE pAri1nr.

And, as IN dress, so IN manners.
For several years bohemianism was
rampant. The girl who could do tho
most unconventional things wns
looked upon by her friends with awe
and admiration. Even sensible men
were now and then deluded into ex-
pressions of appreciation Of this new
woman" Hence for a time she
reigned supreme. Then people be-
gan to find out that she was not real
ly attractive. Having usurped mems
prerogative of smoking. she went
farther and gambed little, and
drank more than was good for her.
Womanlike, when she escaped from
feminine shackles, she not only be-
came masculine, but supermasculine,
going men one better in her attempt
to be up to date.
For a time, as have stated, men
looked at her curiously and were
temporarily charmed by. her differ
ence from the women they had
known. II did not take them long
to find out. that these new-fashioned
girls were OF two classes-the girls
who liked bohemianism for its own
sake and who were at heart as unre-
fined as they outwardly appeared. and
the girls who merely assumed bohe-
mianism to seem fashionable and

clear, the gills red, the scale bright,

RINGS
Worn 10y Kings
and Queens OF
EnsIand.

The festivities of the late corona
tion of England's king and queen will
be recalled by the illustration of coro-
nation rings shown at the right.
Many and varied have been the rings
Fof previous monarchs, some proving
the talisman of war and bloodshed
and Others that Of peace and prog
ress.
You will first notice ring number
/, the ring worn by James H., and
also said to have been worn and much
priced by his devoted wife, Mary,
Queen Of Scots. There is much Eng
lish history grouped about this ring,
plain as 1t appears. Number 2 Is the
famous sapphire set with ruby cross
and diamonds, which was worn by
William Nv. Number 3 Is the dia-
mond set ruby worn by Queen Ade-
laide. This is one, OF the most beau
tiful designs OF all the royal rings.
In number 4 YOU see handsome re-
production of the ring worn by
Queen Victoria, which was so valua-
Bile that to lessen the danger OF los
ing, II was made so small that 1t had
to be forced on her finger. The un-
der side of number 8 is SO unique
that IL is shown in that way. 1t was
the ring worn by Charles l. and is set
with an extremely large ruby and
diamonds. Number 6 is the corona
tion ring Of Queen Mary, consort Of
James IL. The ring of Queen Nary,
eonsort OF William III. is shown in
number Z It Is diamond set ruby.
The large ring in which the forego-
Ing are enclosed Is very odd, though
plain ring which was worn by Charles
II, It's stone 10 ruby, the value OF
which is very great.

TO WASH
BEDDING

To wash blankets, air and shake
them first In the sunlight, beating
out as much dust as you can with
furniture beater. Then have plen-
ty of hot water ready and wash them
quickly as follows: Fill two tubs
with water OF the same temperature,
warm but not really hot. Add to
this lather made by shaving a bar
OF pure white soap with three table,
spoonfuls of borax If the water Is
very hard. Dissolve the shaved soap
and borax in boiling water and add
to the two tubs of warm water. Lay
the blankets in the first tub, and. as
an old colored laundress describes the
process, "sozzle" them up and down,
back and forth In the warm suds, pat
ting them between the hands as you
would fine lace, or a chiffon. veil, but
do not rub them. Then pressing the
water out lightly but never wiring
ing them tightly, run them into the
second suds, which should not be as
strong as the first. Let them lie
there while you empty tub Nos l and
fill 1t with clear rinse water, the
same temperature as that already
used. Repeat the ''sozziihgn pro-
cess In the second soapy water, pat
out as much OF the water as you can
and run the blankets into the first
rinse water. Let them lie there un.
til you have cleaned out tub No. 2
and filled that with clear warm wa
ter, which gives the last rinsing.
Then hang them on the line length
wise, using pins, set close together,
so the blankets will not sag, dry per-
fectly and lay away in newspapers
with camphor balls or other moth de-
flers. The secret OF washing blan-
kets lies In using water throughout
of a uniform warm, not hot, tempera-
ture, and never twisting or wringing
