USES FOR ADHESIVE TAPE
viii Keep End of Rubber Hose From
Splitting or Hot Water Bag
From Leaking.

"Is there any possible way" asked
the Summer Bride, "of keeping the
cut end of piece of rubber hose
from splitting? Where it's forced over
the end of gas stove pipe, for in
stance? 1 know one really ought to
have iron pipe connections made by
gas filter, but sometimes one has
to put up with rubber pipe as a tenn
porary convenience"
Il know" said the Little Wise Lady,
Those things will happen sometimes,
and the quickest way of heading of
trouble is by using ordinary half-inch
adhesive, such as comes in little rolls,
and to wind Cstrap' Is better word)
several thicknesses of 1t around each
end of the rubber hose, after 1t is
forced into place on the stove or gas
pipe. 1t holds the edges firm and pre-
vents the tension which cracks the
rubber. OF course, one might use
rubber cement, but it's a fussy thing
to tinker with, and there Is all the,
bother of waiting for it to dry. Ad-
hesive-take it all together-is one of,
the most useful things to have aroundi
the house of which I've any record.
Try 1t next time your rubber hot wa
ter bottle springs tiny leak-two or,
three layers of it-of course making
sure, that the rubber surface is dry
before putting it on. If it is slow to-
stick warm it slightly before apply

One Way to Save Pennies.

Save all your empty coffee and bak-
ing powder cans, also your hubby's to-
bacco cans if he buys it by the pound,
which he should do, as by so doing he
can save the price Of a cigar or more
on pound can. Now, in place of
sticking labels on your empty cans,
try my way. Soak off the wrapper on
can and dry well. Then paint cans
white and let dry. Then print black
letters on whatever you wish to use
can for-for example, beans, peas,
rice, sage, and such like. Now, if
you buy your spices by the pound you
can save dollars in years time
They can be bought in bulk at all the
big stores. So save all your empty
cans to put them in. By painting cans
white and the letters black you can
find what you want at glance and no
labels always coming off. Just try 1t
for yourself and see.

SocIety's Latest Fad.

If the reports current in Paris sa-

sisters by appearing with feet and
ankles bare The ladies declare that
in the name of hygiene and beauty
all their followers should discard shoes
and stockings as all seekers OF good
health forbid the corset 1t is said
delicate white satin anklers will be
allowed and the toes of the fair wear
ers will nestle under borders OF bright
hued wooden flowers. The same flow
ers will climb like creepers around
tie bare ankles.
This new fashion craze will also
lead, 1t is anticipated. to devoted
swains imprinting a chaste salute on
the ladies' feet instead of on their
hands, and in view Of such proceed
ing taking place already some noted
beauties are practicing exercises to
render their knees supple.-Exchange.

NOT HARD TO CLEAN SWEATER
DaintIest Of Creamy White Ones May
Be Renovated In the Fol-
lowing Manner.

A sweater is one of the necessities
of the wardrobe. No other wrap can
take its place. The dainty woman al
ways prefers the creamy white ones,
but often hesitates to buy because of
the seeming difficulty of cleaning
them. The following method simpli-
fies that process, so that no one need
hesitate to buy one on that account.
Woollen blankets may be cleaned in
the same manner.
A quarter Of bar of good white
soap Is melted over the stove To
this is added about half cup of am
monia. Enough hot water is run into
the pan or tub to cover the sweater.
The soap and ammonia are stirred
in, and then the sweater is placed in.
With stick on the top of wash
board this is stirred and turned until
the dirt is out. Rinse in several wa
ters, then lay on slanting board to
drain, but no not squeeze dry.
There are several methods of dry
ing. One is to fasten a sheet fat
over several clothes lines and spread
the sweater on that in the sun.

Stucco Whitewash.

Unslacked lime one-half bushel, salt
one peck, rice three pounds, spanish
whiting one-half pound, glue one
pound.
Slack the lime with boiling water
and cover it during the operation to
keep in the steam. Strain the liquid

Stir it we'll and let it stand two or
three days covered from the dust.
This whitewash is applied while hot.
1t Is very brilliant and durable. Is
designed for brick and stone, but can
be used for inside walls just as well.

A New Refriuerator.

A new refrigerator solves the diff
culties of keeping cold water on hand
without the expense of extra ice for
it, without the trouble even of chop
ping the ice and without the sediment
that is apt to tinge the drinking wa
ter. The ice box has porcelain lined
reservoir on the top of which there Is
a porcelain funnel shaped rest into
which a water bottle rests mouth
downward. The reservoir holds half
the contents Of gallon bottle, the re-
naming contents pouring into it as
the water is drawn off. The ice which
fills the ice compartment rests against
the reservoir and insures the coolness
of its contents. The refrigerator has
several other very worthful features,
among them a fine circulation Of air
and cap that covers the waste pipe,
keeping warm air from entering and
dirt from the ice from going into the

Show Little Falling Off in
Favor.

In spite of the rage for color which
threatened our peace of eye so seri-

Amongst the most successful of white

Is one made in tunic style with broad
hems of black ninon, a short, rounded,
black ninon coat hanging in sack style
over this ruched with black ribbon
with white picot edge, and the whole
is to be crowned with a black hat lined
beneath with white chip with a forest
Of black and white ostrich feathers
waving their fronds over the crown;
a parasol Of white lace hemmed with
black chiffon will complete the effect.
