been shown that the light doe. not

possess unusual merits, for from our

How to Clean Willow Piumes.

To clean willow plumes place them
in a long pan and partly cover with
gasoline. Do not attempt to shake the
feather in the liquid, but place in the
pan and roll and rock gently back anu
forth. driving the gasoline from one
end of the pan to the other. Lift the
feather gently out and place on clean
cloth to dry When dry shake in the
sun. and then. when certain all the
gasoline has evapOrated, shake it SLOW
ly over a register to fluff the tiny
fronds. Willow plumeS are eli hand
made and not easy to clean, and II the
plume is an expensive one it would
perhaps be better to send it to re
liable cleaner. but for the cheaper OF
half worn ones the home cleaning VII

Paige has been living during re-
cent years with her daughter, Mrs.
Ethel Smelling, where her death
occurred. Mrs. Paige was the daughter
of the late Samuel and Lucy Day Of
Glover. She was born in Glover on
Dec 1st. 1890, where she attended
school and spent most of her life un-
til her marriage with j. D. Paige,
which took place or Nov. 20, 1853.
Soon after her marriage she and her

Almost an indispensable Article for
Housewife Who Is Particular

Inc SCOT that coats the frying pan
can easily be taken off by sopping it
with kerosene and scraping it off short

Kerosene should never be handled
near the fire.
TO cut the grease on the kitchen
range kerosene is indispensable but
the stove should be perfectly cold
before applying.
FIRST dampen rag with the oil and
rob over the stove and follow this
with thorough rubbing with old news,
papers, after which go over it with
rag dampened with a little benzine to
evaporate the oil.
DO not build fire in the stove until
THIS Is evaporated, which will be gen

Then wipe off nice and clean, after
which give a coat of varnish. You

In Place of Soan-

Persons whose skins are irritated
In cold weather by the use of soap
should try substituting various clean
sing mixtures which may be put into
the bath water
One mixture which is liked by many
women who possess delicate skins is
made from one pound of marshmallow
flowers, one-quarter of pound of hys-
sop herb and four pounds of bran
flour. The ingredients should be
thoroughly mixed dry, in basin, and
then about two heaping tablespoonfuls
should be put in bag.
The bags to hold this compound
should be made from cheesecloth.
They need not be filled with the mix
ture, for smaller quantity will be
sufficient to soften the water and the
mixture, If too much is used, will be
lost, as bag can be employed only
twice.
To get the best results the bag
should be in the tub at least half an
hour before the bath, and while bath
ing the little sack should be used as
a piece of soap.

DECORATIONS FOR BRASS BED
Idea That Makes for Comfort and
Adds to Appearance of
Room.

Brass beds look charming and at
tractive and often brighten an other
wise dark bedroom. but many people
complain that they are far colder
than an ordinary wooden bed that
has high head and footboard to pro-
tect them from drafts. To overcome
this objection a clever woman de-
vised scheme which not only cor
rected this defect, but also added a
decorative note to the room.
The hangings and window seat were
made of gray chintz, having garlands
of pink roses scattered over the sur.
face. She bought more of this mate.
rial and made covers that slipped
easily over the brass rods at the
head and foot of the bed. These were
finished at the bottom with dainty
frills of the material A frill was also
fastened around the mattress. which
showed beneath the bedspread.
The covers were found not only to
add much to the physical comfort,
but were also useful in protecting the
brass from the usual dents and
scratches that are apt to come with
the daily wear and tear of a much
used room.
They were made to be removed
easily If required for special occa-
sions.
