To Remove Spots of Oil.
Dear Margery Doom:

Dear Margery Doom:
VIII you kindly let me know how to
take a linseed oil stain out of q baby
blanket, a gingam apron and a cloth
skirt? BY doing so you will greatly
oblige a steady reader, and I wish
to thank you for the many sugges-
lions which I have tried with uccess
Thanking you in advance, 1 remain.
MRS. A. P. w.
For the oil spot on the blanket use
the following preparation: Mix three
drains of essence. of lemon with one
ounce Of pyroligneous ether, moisten
the spot well and rub until 1t disap-
pears. This will not injure silk or wool.
Lay a piece Of blottlng paper over the
oil spot in the gingham apron and hold
a hot iron over 1t, The heat from the
iron will draw out the oil. and you can
use the same process to take the spot
out of the cloth skirt.

A Point of Etiquette.
Dear Doom

Dear Margery Doom:
VIII you please tell me what pres
ents are considered proper for a young
woman to accept from the young man
to whom she is engaged? And oblige.
FIANCEE.
When engaged a young woman may
accept gifts of jewelry from her fanco,
but she should never accept from him
any article of apparel. A young woman
should not accept anything from a
man who is not a relative or her fance
other than flowers, candy or books. A
well-bred girl will be extremely re-
served about exchanging photographs.

ANNOUNCING AN ENGAGEMENT.

"St. Valentines Day is a very good
time to announce engagements" says
the Woman's Home Companion. "Slip
in an envelope and mail to your
friends, two hearts cut from white
correspondence cards. Tie them to-
gether with a red gauze or ribbon
bow, the mans name being lettered In
gold on one heart, the girls name on
the other. This Is a SIMPLE and effective
way to announce the happy event"

A WISDOM uncanny is that possessed by the Penn
~ sylvania alderman who scolded a man roundly
for leaving his wife because she painted her
face. He said that the art of facial decoration was one
of the most necessary for the preservation of the beauty
of the female sex; that it kept a woman everlastingly
young and a comfort to her husband, and that rouge,
the chamois and the powder puffs were absolutely neces-
sary to the happiness of every woman.
Every woman wants to be as good looking as pos
sible, and will-if she's modern in her views-do her best
to help along the work of nature, gaining much content
ment in the process, whether her system be. excellent
or awful.

gravel is being brought down from the
interior Of a continent and poured into
the sea. as. for instance, along the
northwestern coast Of Europe or the
gulf coast of the United States, the
weight OF the earth's crust is slowly
increasing. and the consequence is
seen in the gradual subsistence Of the
shore.
Such a sinking has been going on
for thousands Of years along the North
sea coast and on the continental side
of the British channel. A similar de-
preston is occurring on the eastern
edge OF our own country and along
the gulf of Mexico. IL has been esti-
mated that the gulf coast is sinking
at the rate OF nearly two feet in
century.
Corresponding elevations must, Of
