Brush the hat thoroughly to re-

It thoroughly a powder composed Of
equal parts of pipe clay and oatmeal.
Leave the powder on for a day, then

remain for twenty-four hours also
proves a good cleanser. Ammonia

COLORED PARCEL TAPES

A very useful little gift is a box
without a lid divided into three COM
partments. In each compartment is
placed a spool of fiat parcel tape of
the bright rainbow colors.
One spool is wound with pink tape
shading to a pallid green. A second
is spotted tape in tones of purple.
and a third is a black and white tape
striped across The tapes are used
instead of Irvine to tie up presents
and to give the parcel they adorn a
specially dainty and attractive aspect
To the box is added a pair of scis-
sors hung upon a long piece of satin
ribbon. There should be pains and
penalties attached to the removal of
the scissors by those who want them
for other purposes, for the essence
of the idea of keeping them chained"
is that they should always be at hand
when a parcel is to be made up.

Unweicome Visitors

Dear Miss Doom:
Will you kindly suggest something
to help me get rid of some bugs which
have got into my davenport. ] have
had 1t only a short time. 1t is in my
dining-room and at night it is used
as a bed. l have tried lots of things
! have seen advertised. but they seem
to be of no use, If you can tell me OF
anything ] would be very glad. | re-
main. M. r..
The pests you mention are queer
creatures. A remedy which one
housewife uses with great success has
no effect when used by another. There
are some solutions on the market
which seem to have the desired result,
but | suppos they contain about the
same ingredients as do the home
made remedies. Here are some which
rave been well recommended. hope
oae of them will rid your davenport
q; the bugs. Remember eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty" You
must keep after these visitors daily
II you would let them now that their
room is preferred to their company.
% Dip a feather or small brush in
I'll of cedar and go over the cracks
ind crevices.
(2) Apply the following solution to
every crevice: Corrosive sublimate,
n ounce; spirits of turpentine, n pint.
CD This one also has been found
effective Half an inc of corrosive
sublimate, half an ounce of pow
dered camphor, half a pint of wood
alcohol and half a pint of ~turpentine.
Mix these ingredients together in a
large bottle.
"a Naphtha has often been tried
with the desired result. Use a SPRING
! bottom oil can and spray the cracks
and every place in the davenport in
which bugs would be likely to be.
Caution-There should be no fire or
flame of any kline in the room, as
\naphtha is very infammable. The
Windows should be kept open for sew
@ral hours after the applications, in
order that all the fumes may escape.
Vs. One housewife recommends a
culpful of turpentine and half a cup
fun of ammonia, sprayed freely in the
crevices,
90 Still another writes that she
tried everything without result until
she was advised to use gasoline, car
bolic acid and oil of cedar. She put
the mixture in a spray and started to
work The streams from the spray
were so fine that not a crack or
crevice escaped the shower.
% Again n says that everything
failed until in despair she filled all
cracks and ~crevices with varnish.
Since then she has not seen her
friends, the enemy.
Let me warn you to label plainly
the bottles containing poisonous So
buttons. So many sac accidents have
happened recently from failure to do
this thai one cannot be too careful.

Gift for Young Lady
Dear Miss Doom

Dear MISS doom;
A young lady l know has a birthday
next week. Will you please mention
a suitable gift that a young man
might give her? I have not known
her very long. She is abou' 20 years
old. I think, and OF a quiet disposition.
r. j.
Do you know her taste in books?
A prettily bound book, by some
standard author, or a book of good
verse, Is always acceptable.
Flowers are always appreciated as
a gift, and quite proper. Have them
sent by the florist, with your card in
the box, writing on the card that o
wish her many happy returns OF the
day.
If she likes candy, a box of the
very BEST would be acceptable.
Candy, flowers and books are about
the only permissible presents under
the circumstances.

but 1t is not essential, for the coat

of straps seems to suit coats of this
kind especially well, and often those
OF the sleeves are tapped over and
buttoned to hold the wrist portions
rather closely and to form a Few

in this way or left plain, as liked.

Dear Miss Doom:


Do YOU think girls n boys ought
to indulge in the stamp f1irtation?' L
see so many of them ask for it in the
papers. Please say what you think
about 1t, as you are always so sensi-
bic. MOTHER.
| will gladly say what / think about
the stamp Irritation and hat is: 1t
sadly c%heapens any girl who will per-
NIT 1t or carry it on.
There is no particular harm in it,
though anything that cheapens a girl
is harmful in the end. A boy GER
tainly cannot respect a girl when he
publicly announces. by the way he
puts a stamp on a letter to her, that
he is flirting with her. And when he
gets a letter from her announcing the
same thing, he loses still more respect
for her.
1T is about the silliest form of fir
tation that [ know, and most forms
are silly, though even the ~silliest
often end in very serious unhappi-
ness-usually for the girl.
