To Utilize Pieces of SOAP.

Small pieces Of toilet soap should be
saved from the soap dishes. and when
a sufficient quantity has ben collected
It should be cut into shavings and dis
solved in boiling water. Measure the
soap, and to each cupful put two cup
fuls OF water. When the soap is dis
solved, add enough fine oatmeal to
make a stiff batter. The mixture Is
then turned into molds, and when dry
makes an excellent soap for the skin.

Removing Candle Grease,

When candle grease drops usually
the first thought is to scrape II of with
a knife. so the grease will not harden,
but II heated knife is used the re-
moval Of grease will be quick and thor
ough.
Take of as much grease as will
come the first time, then scrape of the
rest with a hot knife. Wipe the knife
each time It is lifted from the grease
spot.
This Is better than the hot iron and
blotter process, and often more con-
venient.

Anchovy Slppets.

Toast white bread, in thin narrow

Cover each thinly with Russian an.

whet the appetite for more.

Skins Add Flavor

Some Of the best part of the apple
Is wasted when the fruit is pared for
apple sauce. Core the fruit and then
cut into quarters. Cook until tender
and press through a collander. The
skin will give to the sauce a bit Of
color and add to its flavor.

The Men We Love
and
The Men We Marry

Are there generally two men in
woman's Iife-the man she loves and
the man she marrics:
A woman, keenly observant, and who has seen
much OF girls and women, holds that it IS
more often true than many suppose. Then
she explains how it comes about: what it can
mean, in suffering, to a woman, and what Is
the duty OF woman to be the wife Of the
man she married, not that Of the man She
wishes she had married
A thoroughly feminine article is this. Men
will not understand it, but women Will.

Along here 1t may he well to remark
that Washington owned slaves, and If he

Wouldn't that have been hot old cam

On the morning that the transfer was to
