Dry cleansing iE by no means a
difficult process and may be attempt
ed with an expectation of satistac-
tory results by any woman OF aver
age intelligence who ia willing to be
patient and give the necessary time
to the task.
It is needless to add that dry clean
inr should not be done near an open
FIRE or artificial light. OF course the
majority Of women know that fluids
used in cleansing are infiammable
still. a word of caution may not 60
amiss.
The agents used in dry cleansing
are gasolene, naphtha and benzine,
and a thorough bath in any of these
will remove soil from almost any
fabric.
Silks. laces, velvets and cloths may
all he cleaned in these fluids and
heavy woollens may also be attempt
cd. The only disadvantage in cleans
ing thick soft materials in gasolene
or it's substitutes is the fact that a
great quantity Of the fluid is requir-
cd because Of the absorbent qualities
Of the fabric.
For this reason a wet cleansing
process will often be better than dry
cleansing.
Cottons, also linens, may be re-
stored by dry cleaning. although, eX-
cept in rare cases, soap and water
method is the better.
For laces, silks, ribbons. chiffons
and velvets dry cleaning is a more
desirable process, because the sheen
or gloss is not lost as II will surely
be if soap and water are used
Whole garments, such as gowns
wraps, blouses, etc, can be cleaned
at home as well as the smaller a.
ticles, including ribbons, wells, gloves
and laces However, it will be wiser
for the amateur to experiment with
small pieces first.
The dry cleansing process is sim

ried on the lines east of Pittsburg and
Erie was 81 .s5S,277. more than four
times the population OF the United
States, and only one Of them was kill
ed as a result of a train wreck.
During 1910 the lines OF the Penn

passengers injured In train accidents
was only "a, or reduction of 5u

THE SECRET OF YOUTH.

@SCE upon a time there lived in a
~ cave on the side of a mountain an
old man. He was alone in the world,
young, and now, in his old age, there
was no wife to grow cid with him and
10 children to cheer his declining years.
One day he sat thinking how lonely he
was and that he was too old to work
any more, when he heard a buzZing
sound near his ear.
He looked around, bCt did not see any
thing, and he went on thinking. But
again he heard the sound, and this time
1t seemed to say: Dig deep. Dig deep.
The old man looked again. but there
was no one in sight, and he said to
himself: II must be dreaming" So he
got up from his seat and walked out of
his cave. But the buzzing became loud

saw a cloud hanging just over the en-

cloud and saw a face appear, and ther

to end in the cloud. which heightened
and dwindled into space.

end of the two weeks he had turned in
to Mr.. Osborne two short stories which
the publisher Immediately examined, ac-

spoke Of more stories. assured David he

left the publishers office it was with
the exultant sense that financially his
future was secure.
Mr.. Osborne assured him his book
was going to turn much serious thought

other wasted people, and that his short

speak before a club interested in re-

from the heart and out of his own ex-
perience, made profound impression.
The success of this speech suggested to
him another means of helping-the
