SOME HOME HINTS

Shabby japanned trays can be N
waited by an application of copal
varnish to which a little bronze pow
der has been added. Keep in a warm
place till the varnish is dry and
hard.
When ironing between buttons on
a blouse place the buttons on a fold
ed Turkish towel. The buttons will
sink into the towel. and the spaces
between them will be ironed heauti-
fully smooth.
Linoleum will look better and last
the longer for an occasional rub over
with a flannel cloth dipped in par
ATTN. which will remove all dirt and
stains.
Eggs are cheap now. 20 it is well
to store some for future use. A
simple plan is to pack them away in
salt. Get a large earthen jar, with a
wide mouth, and some ommon salt.
Put a layer of salt at the bottom,
then one of the eggs. standing them
upside down. then more salt and
eggs. till the jar is full. the last layer
being salt. The jar should have Il
stone cover, and be kept in a dry
place. OF our the eggs should be
new-laid, but only a few need be
stored away at a time.
To keep mats In place at bedroom
doors try this plan: Sew a small
BRASS ring at each corner of the mat
and put two tiny rounded cuphooks
into the corners of the doorway close
to the floor. Slip the rings over the
hooks and the mats Will be held in
place: and, as there are rings at each
of the four corners, the mats may be
turned frequently, SO as to wear
small and rounded, or dresses will
catch on them.

Just a peep behind the curtain OF
one of the most exclusive shops or
Paris shows how strong the direc-
toire coat will be during the coming
season.
Some of the models have a 1aring
coat and others are close fitting; but
there seems to be no doubt that both
coats and skirts will show decidedly
more fulness this season, albeit the
silhouette will obtain.
In the skirts these close, long lines
are adhered to. although a breaking
away from the contracted line is
noticeable in a number of skirts
which show a fulness at the bottom.

Exercise is the best treatment for

half an hour after eating a hearty
meal. Avoid pastries, gravies. pota-

soda.
Upon arising in the morning drink

Do not eat between meals. If you
should feel the need of something
drink one or two cups of hot water.
Rolling is excellent for reducing the
hips. Before retiring lie prone on the
floor and roll over and over A hun
dred rolls is the dose prescribed by
certain sylph-like ladies, but l fear
you will find that cure rather siren
uous.
Some other good exercises consist in
standing erect and bending over until
the tips of the fingers touch the floor
without bending the knees and of
lying prone and raising the legs Until
they are perpendicular to the body.
These exercises should be taken for
fifteen minutes every night and morn
ing and the body should. of course,
be unrestricted by tight clothing.

& Daily Fashion Talks :.
FASHIONABLE COLLARS
BY MAY MANTON

Everything that pertains to the
Directoire period has a peculiar in-
and fashions of the season
promise to be largely influenced
thereby. Just now Robespierre col
lars are extremely fashionable and
the models illustrated are excep-
.tionally good. They can be used over
a coal or blouse as liked and they
can be finished with or without the
frills, but ace really makes an I'M
portant feature of all fashions of the
period and the collars without the
frills scarcely deserve the name.
These two models are excellent. They
completely transform any toilette
and they are very simple and easy
to make. For street wear a chemis-
cite can be arranged beneath, and
these chemisettes are made of net
and various flmy materials. Collars
of black satin are smart over any
coat, collars of white linen are worn
over all washable blouses, and coll
lars made of material to match the
blouse are greatly in vogue. How
ever they are used they give a very
distinctive, up-to-date touch to the
costume.
For either collar will be needed
II yard of material any width with 1ss
yards of lace 8 inches wide and IL
yards of banding for No. 1 and /
yard 6 inches wide for No. 2.
The May Manton pattern 1850 Is
cut in one size only. 1t will be mailed
to any address by the fashion de-
partment of this paper on receipt of
ten cents.

DOING UP LACE CURTAINS

1t is moi every laundress who should
entrusted with the doing up" of
fine lace curtains, for in many cases
strong acids are used to remove the
dirt and dust quickly and the. curtains
are thus injured beyond repair. With
a little extra work and a good deal
of common sense this work may be
at home in quite as satisfactory
a hammer as when ii is given out,
even to the most efficient workers.
Put the curtains one at a time in
warm, not hot, water; rub them very
lightly with some good naphtha soap
and let them remain in the suds for
twenty minutes to half an hour. Re-
move from this water, which will be
as black as coal dust; rinse in fresh
water of the same temperatures; rub
more soap on the curtain and rub
and squeez gently between your
hands. Again take fresh water and
so continue to do until the curtains
are perfectly clean.
With sash curtains the work Is
comparatively easy. but with the
longer curtains suitable for a full
length window the curtains are more
difhcult to nandle IL THESE are III
the least tender they should be placed
in an old pillow-case and patted n
pressed until you can judge by the
color of the water that all the dirt
has been removed. Hang the pillow
case or bag IN the line with the cur
ain in 1t until the curtain is dry.
Make a very thin starch, boiling 1t
until it is clear and runs from the
spoon like molten silver. Starch the
curtains and let them remain on a
platter for half an hour oil longer,
covered with a dry cloth.
If you are not already the owner
of a set Of curtain s~tretchers, pur-
chase a set; and in putting them uT
be careful that you get them perfect
ly straight. Stretch firmly enough
to emove all wrinkles, but not hard
enough to tear them; let them remain
in the s%tretchers for twenty-four
hours or longer, If necessary, until
they are perfectly dry, even in the
thickest parts. In placing them In thu
stretchers place each pair together

Remedy for Offensive Breath
Dear Miss Doom

Dear Miss Doom:
Will you kindly telfme how to sure
an offensive breath? A. K.
This condition is due either to a
disordered stomach or to decayed
teeth. In the former case a teaspoon
full of bicarbonate of soda in a glass
of hot water about one hour before
breakfast will do a great deal to-
ward correcting the condition. Some
physicians prescibe a half teaspoon
full of the soda in a glass of water
after meals. Charcoal tablets are
also good.
In the latter case consult a dentist
at once and see that the teeth are
kept scrupulously clean. This cannot
be done with a toothbrush alone, but
may be brought about by the combi-
nation of a toothbrush and dental
floss. The latter gets into the crew
ices between the teeth and removes
particles of food which lodge there
and which the brush cannot reach.
In either case use a good mouth
wash three or four times a day.
There are several good les for sale
at the druggists.
Rinsing the mouth with listerine
before and after meals is beneficial.
A mouth wash easy to compound and
in many cases effective is made from
a grain of permanganate OF potash
and an ounce of rosewater. This
should be used half a dozen times
during the day and care should be
taken that the back teeth are rinsed
each time. The teeth should be
brushed thoroughly after each appli-
cation or else the wash will stain
them. The flavor is by no means
agreeable, but may be improved by
| adding a few drops of oil of pepper
mint. Another wash Is made from a
dram OF chlorate of potash and three
ounces of rosewater. >
These washes should be tried for
only a few days. If at h end OF
that time they have not brought
about the desired result they should
be abandoned, for the cause is more
deeply rooted. The condition is Dne
which no one can afford to permit to
continue if there is any cure at all

Treatment for Red Nose
Dear Miss Doom

Dear Miss Doom:
I am a young man of % years Of
age The tip of my nose is red. Will
you kindly let me know what I can
do to get rid of this redness? I have
tried cold cream, but 1t has done no
good. Thanking you for this favor.
I remain, yours respectfully, F. L.
A red nose is a most unpleasant
affection, often caused by defective
digestion or an impoverished condi-
ton of the system, as well as by
sluggish circulation. Indigestion, be-
cause it materially affects the cir
culation, may alone be the root of
the trouble. To cure it you must be
very careful of your diet. Let your
food be very plain, consisting of beef,
mutton, plenty of fresh vegetables
and fruits and a very small supply
of sugar such as is contained In SIM
pie desserts.
If the nose by flushing every few
hours gives warning that the stom-
ach requires some n~ourishment, drink
a glass of hot milk, or if this can
no be obtained. hot water. Drink
two cups of hot water on arising
and as much water. both hot and
cold, as you can during the day.
Avoid the use of tea and coffee.
Take bicarbonate of soda after
meals. The dose consists of half a
teaspoonful of the soda to half a
glass OF water. Other tonics should
be prescribed by a physician. Log
ically iron is one and p~hosphates is
another, but the kind and quantity
must be regulated by a professional.
Exercise out of doors is part of the
cure. Walking rapidly is one of the
best ways of getting exercise, but
slow walking is of little benefit. Fol

The directoire coat is varied in

sharply, and others have a very broad
back, semi-ftting and ending in a
deep curved line.
In connection with the coats, the
Robespierre collar is a very marked

be worn either opened or unbuttoned
on the shoulder are another iHnova-
ton.
