WASHING LINEN.

Goods Must Be Thoroughly MOisten-
ed and Ironed with Hot Irons.
Linen, especially that which is even
slightly starched, should be thoroughly
dried before sprinkling, then sprinkled-
not lightly, as we sprinkle cotton, but
every thread of the linen must be well
moistened IL we want smooth, glossy
linen, then folded down the night before
ironing and sat in a cool place, where
1t will not mildew. To iron this wet
linen will require very hot iron. and
care must be taken to have the iron very
clean and smooth, so It will not scorch.
The linen must be gone over and over,
until thoroughly dried under the iron, no
portion Of 1t being left even slightly
damp. Garments, as well as table linen,
must be treated in the same way, for II
not carefully ironed, the goods will ap-
pear rough and wrfnkled, and will not
stay clean long.
In washing chiffon, rip the chiffon It II
is made up into any article, and remove
all threads. Dip II up and down in tepid
soapsuds, but do not rub; rinse In the
same way to clear, tepid water, then,
without wringing or squeezing. let drip
little; then pass through weak gum water;
a teaspoonful Of ordinaryS liquid gum
mixed in quarter OF pint of water Is
sufficient. Squeeze between the hands,

and roll up in a dry towel for few
minutes while an iron is heating. Press
on the wrong side while still. damp and
keep the direction of the selvedge.
For the pink garment that fades in the
wash. take piece Of turkey-red cheese

Such Of the simple herb teas as bone

Both courses mean colds; and there IS

omber effect. This is composed Of one Of
the transparent new fibrous French fab
RIGS over silk or satin in purple, crimson
or some other gay hue. The shape is al
most that Of an old-fashioned sunbonnet,
with little friIl around the neck and
two-tnch strings of the matearial.
Summer wraps for motoring have, like
the gowns. straight lines in the skirts,
and frequently there is a strapped seam
or large pockets just below the waist.
Armholes are for the most part large,
which makes the upper part Of the sleeve
wide and roomy. Rounded corners are
seen on almost all the revers, and again
on cuffs and the big flap pockets. There
is a preference for rough materials, and
self-colored tweeds or diagonal tweeds in
two colors take the lead Bright tan,
emerald. Parma violet, and old rose are
favorite colors.
A Novel Imported Wrap.
A novel imported wrap is one evolved
from a Scotch plaid rug with the plain
side made up on the outside. The fringe
edges the narrow skirt part and appears
again around the revers, on which is seen
the plaid reverse side of the rug. The
roll on cuffs also shows the plaid This
coat has a cutaway front coming In
pretty sloping line from neck to hem.
For the fall garment may be made
Of reversible Scotch cloaking with a twill
effect and a rough surface not far re-
moved in appearance from blanketing.
This material is seen in pretty color con-
trasts, such as blue and mauve, blue and
tan, which mingle and harmonize charm
ingly. The coats into which they are
made have big. rounded revers and large
rounded tab cuffs.

was recently. in a home that bears
all the earmarks of refinement.
Just as my hostess was leaving the
house with me she discovered her FIVE
year-old son transgressing some iron
bound rule which she had inflicted upon
him. Pointing threatening finger at the
little fellow, who was shrinking from her
in white-faced expectancy, she told him:
'I shall whip you when come home.
Then she went away, dismissing the
subject from her mind. All the after
noon I was haunted by the cowed look
in the child's tender eyes as he watched
his mother pass out OF sight, leaving
him there alone in a big empty house to
await her homecoming In fear and ap-
prehension. Whether the pain of the ac-
tual whipping was ever inflicted or not
the result was the same. The child had
been left to spend his afternoon in terror
of the punishment, the effect Of which
terror was sure to leave its impress on
his sensitive nature; sure TO COW him;
sure to lessen his faith in his mother 3

In the course Of the afternoon his
mother stopped to coax with kindness

THE POPULAR GIRL
AT SUMMER RESORTS
She Does Everything in Her Power to Make Others
Happy by ThoughtfuneSS and Tact

that one string to the exclusion of all
other topics and the constant boredom Of
others.
The porular girl knows how to be quiet
sometimes, and how to make herself
agreeable to old people and children.
Attentive to Old People.
There is nothing more appreciated, nor
sweeter to look upon, than when bright
young girl turns aside from the gay COM
panions Of her own age to sit beside some
old man or woman in their lonely isola-
tion and make them feel that she has
passed a pleasant hour in listening TO
their "reminiscences. 1t is commonly said
that there are no old women now, but
one occasionally sees an old man. and It
always brings happiness to these to be
noticed by the young.
The popular summer girl is one who is
able to contribute something to the enter
tainment of her eoterie Of friends and ac-
quaintances.
What accomplishments she has she is
willing to exercise without ceaseless i'm
portuning- If she can sing and play she
does so before one grows weary begging
her, and if she dances she will not favor
one or two partners to the exclusion OF
all others. If she plays golf and tennis
and rows she will not feign a headache
when asked to share these pastimes IL
some one particular person be absent.
She does not advertise her preferences in
this open manner; hence her popularity.
Helps In Amusements.
II a rainy day sets in she helps to get
up tableaux, an impromptu play, or a
musicale; and, instead OF moping like Ma
rianna in The Moated Grange" she
proves to know a little something about
paImistry or mind reading, and so, by
such ''parlor stunts" as she laughingly
calls them, helps to make the time pass
merrily.
There is one thing the popular summer
girl never does-no one can induce her to
do it-and that is depreciate other girls
by the slightest unfavorable comment or
criticism, or underrate their attractions.
She is too well bred for that, and her
manners are, after all, the secret OF her
popularity.

MOTOR BONNETS AND
WRAPS ARE ATTRACTIVE
Suggestions of Practical Value to the Woman Who
Goes Riding in Automobiles.

The woman who motors has been revel-
ing in new and bewildering styles of bon
nets and hats since the first of the mil
linery signs OF spring. and she was just
congratulating herself that she had sam
pied every possible variation in motor
headgear, when a few days ago there ar
rived from Paris an assortment of en-
now she has to begin all over again adj
miring and purchasing. The recent ar
rivals are all made in the crushable style
that prevails in hats. without any frame
work whatsoever. Every one knows how
the frameless hats Of braid and straw
have proven and the attractiveness of
these soft bonnets of silk and satin and
pongee may be imagined.
While motor bonnet is the general
term applied. some of the models are not
IN bonnet shape at all, although provided
with strings or a veil drapery Of chif-
fon. The smartest shape of all is a Ma
poleon with high, bold revers back and
front in some contrasting color. The
yelling is gathered in at each side. If the
crown OF the hat is OF natural pongee the
turned-back hrim is of black or dark blue.
Black silk or satin is contrasted with a
puffy crown Of white satin. Pongee dyed
a soft French blue and cut to show four
cross seams has the revers of a dark
shade.
A Pretty Model in POngee.
Another excellent model is made in pom
gee or one of the light satins or silks
and has a plated bow Of black set square

a favorite combination in this style.

For some Of US the vacuum cleaners
have partly solved the dust problem, but
where the broom and carpet sweeper still
rule our daily siege with the duster goes
on the same as ever.
AS a rule. any one who viii dust the
furniture and shake the portieres be-
fore sweeping is liable to contempt from
the average good housekeeper. She may
hint at observation-disclosures or utter lack
Of household experience. Still the most
scrupuIous hoHsekeeper on record is
guilty Of this method. That is, she does
general busting before using the broom
and particular busting after she is
through with 1t. And dust is never per-
ceptible in her domestic environment.
II you live in a dusty city above a
dusty thoroughfare, where visible films
II dust collect on your furniture ever:
few hours, this method is quite correct.
Poor Method.
For after you are through with your
general sweeping and cleaning and the
clouds of notes have had a chance to set
tie, a feather duster tipped over your
furniture will only transfer the layer
of dust to the floor again. Then you say
the room doesn't look swept"
The right way is to give window and
door draperies a good shake before the
sweeping and wiping, and to run a
feather duster with a few bold strokes
over the wall paper, window sllls, and
furniture. After your rugs have been
shaken and the floor wiped with a damp
cloth do your particular dusting not
with a feather duster, but with a square
of outing flannel laid double-the soft
surface exposed. The dust atoms will
cling to this instead Of getting on the
floor.
The hard rough broom should be avoid
ed for sweeping rugs and carpets. The
finer the straw OF the broom the less
dust you will raise and the easier to get
the dust out Of the pile.
Shaking the smaller rugs out Of the
window or over the porch is not enough.
The dust has settled into the fiber and
broom or carpet sweeper applied vigor-
ously is more effective.
A polished floor, unless the dust has
been allowed to collect for several days,
need not know the touch of a broom.
Rough brooms are apt to impair the lus-
ter or scratch the varnish.
In most cases all that is necessary Is
to go over the floor with damp cloth.
OF course, frequent applications Of q wet
cloth may dull the polish easily, and
some have found convenient substitute.
Flannel Broom Cap.
It consists OF flannel cap fitted over
- ~
fuzz exposed. This is slightly moistened
with olive oil or sweet oil When the
dust has been removed it is glanced light
