E HINTS FOR THE MEMBER E

Use method to your mending and II
ceases to become q bugbear. The
girl or woman who makes a practice of
devoting an hour or SO every week to
darning stockings, replacing buttons
on underwear and renovations general
ly will never possess the basket filled
to overlooking which daunts the heart
OF the stoutest member.
A stitch in time saves nine II a
stocking Is changed at the first glimpse
of hole and mended before washing a
very few darning stitches will put
things to rights
It is surely useless to insist that no
knot be used when darning, but it
might be advisable to point out to
those welded to the use of a darning
ball that its aid Is almost always dis
astrous.
When buttons have been rudely torn
from a garment. bearing with them a
strip of the material, 1t il a good plan
to stitch neatly q piece of wide tape
down on both sides as backing be-
fore replacing the buttons.
When a patch is absolutely necessary
first cut the hole into some synmetri-
cal shape and place underneath it a
piece OF the material to match. II it
can be managed never use new ma
terial on an old article. The patch
must be nearly an inch wider than the
hole. Basic into place and hem
around very neatly.

THE EVER POPULAR TOPCOAT

THE variety in topcoats Is amazing
especially so when one thinks back
on the ugly raincoat days. when a
shapeless garment was the only top
coat a woman owned. These we wore
when the weather was rainy and when
the weather was cold and depended
on the coat suit for all the other days.
Just what factor IN fashions brought
about the demand for the topcoat is
difficult to tell Some think the in
coming OF the one piece dress. others
ascribe it to the amazing grip of open
air sports on the women of the land.
but II Is probable that the real reason
is the way every one uses automobiles.

DESSERTS MADE
FROM PEACHES
.s*s-.**s*s,,s.s..s.s.sss.s.ss*s-..

A DAINTY peach dessert which
would be suitable for a party is
made by removing the stones from
large peaches which have been pre-
served or boiled in a strip until clear.
Then place between each two halves
thick layer of ice cream. Add a few
red raspberries to each dish and serve
at once.
Peach salad is another pretty dish.
Pare and cut in halves large yellow
peaches. prepare two halves for each
plate. Drop halves into ice water to
chill and prevent their turning brown.
Chop one-half cupfuI of mixed nuts.
one-half cupful Of candied cherries.
Mix with mayonnaise. Fill peaches,
which have been put on lettuce leaves,
with the mixture and top with whip
ped cream Serve very cold.
Peach custard is a delicious warm
weather dessert To make it fill a
quart pudding dish half full of ripe
peaches. pared and sliced. Make a
custard with the yolks of three eggs,
half cupful of sugar and one pint of
milk boiled in a double boiler until
thick Flavor the custard with vanilla
and pour over the peaches while boil
ing hot. Beat the whites of the eggs
with three tablespoonfuls of sugar and
spread them over the peaches and Gus
tard. Put the pudding in the oven and
brown slightly. Serve cold with cake

dainty dessert take one cupful Of flour

one teaspoonful of butter. Mix with a
little milk and drop from a teaspoon

EXPERIENCED COOKS SAYS

I gEMON Juice and powdered sugar
are delicious with feathery wheat
pancakes. It is said that the kaiser is
especially attached to this dish.
When baking potatoes rub dry and
grease This causes the outer skin to
peel off very thin, thus saving the most
nourishing part
String bean salad is good. Like all
salad ingredients. the beans should be
very cold. Marinate them, after dry
ing and chilling. with French dressing
and place on a bed OF lettuce leaves.
Egg quarters or slices garnish.

WHEN FURNISHING.

IN a sitting room where economy of
space is necessary a satisfactory
arrangement, and one which is COM
Portable and convenient. is to place at
each end of a box couch a low set of
bookshelves turned back to back
These serve as ends to the couch and
rests for a lamp. books. ash trays etc.
If there is a fireplace in the room the
couch may be placed close TO the
hearth and the bookshelves placed at
the back so as to form a rest for the
cushions.

The KITCHEN SINK.

TT is never wise to allow the kitchen
sink to remain soiled and greasy.
for in summer the small particles
quickly decay. and the result is not
only unpleasant. but is a menace to
health.
To clean the kitchen sink wash it
thoroughly with ammonia and warm
water. Common sulphate of iron dis
solved in the proportion of one pound
to four gallons of water and poured
over the sink will make it quite clean
and sweet.

err and gradually pour the hot milk

TIN SCRUB BUCKET.

THE most convenient scrub bucket Is
a light one made of galvanized
tin. with a wide, faring top. The
bucket should be fitted with a wire
soap tray at one side. for often the
soap is wasted when left floating in
the water for there is no convenient
place to put IL while scrubbing. Holes
can be punctured in the bucket and
the wire tray fastened with wire or
heavy cord. Again. the soap may be
kept in the tray and will always be
convenient when needed.

HIGHER-UPS TO

0ECRETARY OF AMERICAN FED
GRAFTON OF LABOR BEFORE
FEDERAL GRAND JURY.

NAMARA BROTHERS. DE-
FENSE FUND.
Western Newspaper Union News Service

Westinghouse divulge the dispo-
sition OF the Mcnamara defense
fund. Frank Morrison, Secretary of
the American Federation OF Labor,
and Henry II. Flather, cashier of the
riggs National Bank. the depository
of the Federation's funds, have left
Washington for Indianapolis, in re-
sponse to subpoenag to testify before
the federal grand jury investigating
the alleged dynamite conspiracy.
Each man, with records, will ap-
pear before the federal inquisitors.
Department OF Justice officials are
reticent as to whether other national
labor leaders would be summoned.
The investigation at indianapolis, 1t
was admitted by officials here, had
been broadened SO as to encompass
all who may have had knowledge Of
the guilt of the Mcnamara brothers,
prior to their confessions, or that OF
others engaged in the unlawful trans
portation OF explosives.
The Department Of Justice. it de-
yeloped. had invoked in the grand
Jury inquiry the federal statute i'm
posing a heavy penalty for the con
cealment OF knowledge of a felony
from the properly constituted authori-
ties.
This statute, coveringc the crime
known as the "misprision" OF fell
ony, provides:
Whoever, having knowledge of the
actual commission of the crime of
murder or other felony, cognizable by
the courts of the United States. con-
ceals and does not as soon as may
be, disclose and make known the
same to some one of the judges, or
other persons, civil or military au-
thority under the United States, shall
be fined not more than $500, or i'm
prisoned not more than three years,
or both"
Officers of the Department of JUS
tice We're disinclned to discuss the
application of the statute, declaring
that everything depended upon the de-
yelopments at Indianapolis.
The other statutes invoked at Indi
annapolis refer to the unlawful trans
portation of explosives and the gen
eral conspiracy statute making it a
crime for two or more persons to ,on-
spire to break a federal law. The
misprision Of felony" section. it is
said. could be applied to knowledge
OF violations of the other two laws.
