OSTRICH BOAS MAY BE
CLEANED WITH STARCH

When a white ostrich feather boa be-
comes soiled 1t would seem a HOPELESS
task to try to clean It. But a woman
who was the proud possessor of a lovely
pure white boa says that she cleaned
it with ordinary starch She made a
cold starch, adding a little blue so that
the fronds would not become yellow
The starch does not stiffen the fronds,
but merely dries in the form OF a cake
Of paste. which when hard, will shake
off in the form of a powder

Apple Snow.

A recipe for apple, snow, which may be
used either by itself as a dessert, or as
a dressing for a fruit macedoine, calls
for a tart apple, a cupful of sugar, and
the white of an egg. Gradually fold the
sugar through the egg, beating the whole
for half an hour. and adding the apple
by degrees after grating It. II the apple
is not particularly fine in flavor, add a
few drops of vanilla. If briskly beaten
the mixture will increase in bulk and
give the appearance of driven snow.

TO QUESTIONS
ASKED BY HERALDREADERS

After Shaving.
William S.-Here is a recipe for a To-
ton which I feel will prove satisfactory:
Boracic acid, one dram; distilled witch
hazel, two ounces; rosewater. two
ounces. Use as a wash when desirable.
Nut Bars.
Mrs. G.-For maple nut bars. melt a
pound Of maple sugar with the same
quantity OF granulated sugar and turn
in three-quarters of a cupful Of boiling
water. Boil without stirring to the soft
ball stage. add a cupful Of nut meats
chopped fine and turn into a large cold
bowl-a marble slab Is the thing II It Is
at hand. When the strip begins to
thicken, but before 1t is hard around the
edges, work 1t with a wooden spatula,
turning 1t over and over and kneading IL
until 1t is creamy. Then knead it with
the hands until 1t is smooth. Form into
bars and cut into convenient pieces.
Red Hair.
Mother-I advise you not to put any
thing on your baby's hair. for 1t may
injure its texture and growth. The con-
slant use of peroxide will make the hair
dry and brittle.
Salad Suggestion.
Inquirer-The pulp of grapefruit. freed
from its white membrane and mixed
lightly with orange pulp, makes a deli
cious salad. No lemon Juice Is needed,
the oil being mixed with the fruit and a
little sugar added

For real comfort, without too much neg
ligee in the general appearance, there is
no garment to compare with the dressing
sacque.
Take. for instance, the one shown here.
It is quite plain. except for a group of
small tucks at the shoulders in front. 1t
may be closed quite up to the neck and a
small turnover collar used with 1t, or 1t
may be cut down a little and the edge
trimmed with band OF ribbon or inser-
tiCn.
The materials which are suitable for
this garment are almost endless in vari-
ETY., and include the softer silks, CASH
mere. albatross, challis. sateen and the
lovely mercerized ginghams in all deli
cate shades and patterns.
The pattern, No 1856, is cut in sizes 80 to
"A inches bust measure. Medium size re-
quires pa yards of 36-inch goods.
The above pattern can be obtained by

pei monopoly, which is no less a mon"
opoly because it has sevetal heads, to
bow TO competition.
1t is deplorable, there should exist
counter-sentiment to this clear, com
nonsense view of the public. We
don't think this adverse sentiment
strong enough to work any appreciable
harm. The real antagonism of the par
cells post will not come from the country
merchants, but from express compan-
les. But studious att .mpt is being
made 20 tradesmen in small towns and
minor cities as to the merits Of the
proposition. Thus, in Dubuque, Iowa,
we notice that speeches hostile to the
parcels post were applauded at ban
quet, and the next day Dubuque pa

ought to be aware of the parcels post,
and that Dubuque is small city
All this is wrong. 1t is not only
wrong, but it has been DEMONSTRATORS

post subject was agitated as it is now.
When rural free delivery was first
urged, it was said that the farmer
wouldn't buy so many goods. because,
having his mail brought to him, he
would no longer step from the postof-

the actual result? The farmer became
more frequent buyer than he was

The country and city dealer has as
much to gain from the parcels post as
anybody else. 1t means transportation

PARCELS POST

Suddenly the parcels post has become
one Of the acute issues of the time.
Among matters likely to come before
the present session of congress, none
except the trust and tariff questions are
of more Importance.
There is no doubt about the opinion
of the people. They are for a parcels
post. The masses look at the topic in
the broadcast, simplest manner, and that
is the only right way to look at it.
They see it is a fight between the in
terests of the shipper, the sender of
packages and the greed Of the express
