Suftraoette Rowdyism.

The suffragettcs of England are
giving an excellent demonstration Of
rowdyism in their conduct toward
the political leaders in parliament.
On account of their tactics the Ma
tionalist meeting which was held in
Dublin July 20 and addressed by Prime
Minister Asquith, had to be careful
ly guarded by police. The fashion
that English suffragettes have of at
tacking and abusing public officials
is doing more harm than good to the
cause of woman suffrage. If they
are really desirous Of voting they
should show that they are capable Of
exercising reason and discretion even
when the cause they are advocating
is not meeting with success.

Ireland should be the ultimate aim of

CARE OF EMBROIDERY
BY EDNA EGAN.

xANDSOME pieces of embroidery
should be laundered by them
selves, never in the general
wash. Do not give them out on wash
day; this will avoid temptation.
If you are not sure of careful laun-
dering learn to do valuable pieces of
embroidery yourself. 1t is only a
matter of time, care, and knowledge.
Take a time that will not be inter-
rupted, as embroidered pieces should
not be hung up to dry, nor should
they be left until finished.
Make light suds with good soap
and luke warm water, put the linen
in it, a piece at a time, and squeeze
gently. If there are soiled spots rub
with soap, but do net rub the whole
piece. Rinse three times in water
of the same temperature.
Do not wiring out. Put the article
fat between two Turkish towels so
the embroidered piece does not fold
over on itself without the towel be-
tween. Press with the hands until
almost dry.
While still damp place face down
ward on a heavily padded ironing
board. A folded blanket or Turkish
towel can be used for extra padding.
Cover with clean white cloth tackled
to keep it smooth.
Cover the embroidered piece with
a clean cloth and iron until linen is
dry. If it gets too dry the cloth can
be slightly dampened. Run iron,
which should be quite hot, according
to grain of linen and press smoothly
and evenly.
Before ironing any irregular Dor
der should be smocthed lightly into
shape Small scallops can be pinned
fiat, not to curl under the cloth. Do
not pull the damp linen, or it can
never be ironed straight. Keep
smoothing it gently IS you iron, turn
ing the covering to look for wrin-
kles.
A centerpiece Is inclined to hoop
from too tight embroidery; it must
be put face down on the ironing
board when still damp and carefully
stretched into place. Be careful that
the threads and stitchery run cor
rectly. Pin securely and leave until
dry, then press under dampened
cloths
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1912-07-06

Colored embroideries should be
set by soaking in salt water or q
solution of sugar of lead or turpen-
tine and water.
Do not iron into creases, or even
fold. Keep table doilies or small
mats in a box with squares of blue
tissue paper between. Roll center
pieces also with blue paper between
folds.
If centerpiece gets a spot on It,
but is not otherwise soiled spread It
right side up on a table and scrub
the spot with a clean toothbrush and
lukewarm soapy water.
When embroidered linen Is stained
with fruit boiling water should be
poured trough the spot as quickly as
possible. Stretch the stained portion
over top of a saucer.
Rust, stains, if not too near the
embroidery, can be removed by ape
plying a weak solution of oxalic acids
rinse we'll with boiling water.
Claret or other wine stains should
be covered Immediately with salt and
rubbed until discoloration disappears.

it in gradually. Apply with a stiff
brush, and, if too hard, add more
water.

manner, but before tightening
the bow pass its right-hand loop
through the knot in the center Then
draw the bow tight and it will stay
tied until you pull the string to
undo it.
INK spots or writing may be re-
moved from a book by applying
n spirits of salts diluted with five
or six times their bulk in water,
which may be washed off in two or
three minutes with clear water. A
solution of oxalic, citric or tartaric
acid will answer the same purpose,
as none of these will affect the print
ing. Grease spots may be removed
by laying powdered pipe clay on both
sides of the paper and applying an
iron as hot as may be without scorch-
ing the leaves.
