A Request to Move.

Dear MISS Doom.
VIII you kindly let me know III a
landlord can put YOU out with a thirty
days notice without any cause what
ever? He eoaxed me to move in, and
now ! have everything fixed and the
carpets cut TO fit the rooms. I put in
window paness at my own expense.
There are only my husband and N.Y.
self and we pay the rent promptly.
He won't give any reason for his selfish
act. Can you advise me? M. i. +.
Unless you have a lease which does
not provide for its cancellation m
thirty days your landlord can at the
beginning of any month give you a
thirty-day notice to move.
1t is too bad that you will be put to
the great inconvenience of moving, es-
peoially after you have cut your car
pets to fit the rooms, but personally I
think you will find the Inconvenience
will be slight in comparison with the
many petty unpleasantnesses you
would have to bear living in a house
where the landlord is unfriendly to

To Clean White Shoes.

My dear Miss Doom:
AS 1 have been advised by you here
~tofore, I take the liberty of writing
to you again. How can l clean white
buckskin shoes? do not like to use
the preparations for sale. as / was told
that they make the shoes yellow.
Thanking you in advance, sincerely,
A STAR FRIEND.
1 see no reason why the patented
preparations for cleaning white shoes
should turn them yellow. However, IL
you think a home remedy will be safer.
try dipping a perfectly clean piece OF
white flannel in a little ammonia
water, rubbing it over q cake of white
soap and then rubbing the kid with
1t until the soiled places are white
again. AS the flannel becomes soiled
change it for a clean piece. Gasoline
will also clean them. Dip a clean
cloth in the liquid and rub the shoes
with it. Be careful not to use the gaso-
line in a room where there is a fire,
gas or any other open flame.

To Clean Willow PIumes.

Dear Miss Doom:
Would you kindly give me some ad-
vice In regard to cleaning a white
willow plume? Do you think 1t ad-
visable for me to do it myself or would
you suggest having 1t done at some
establishment of that kind? 1t Is just
dusty, and as II is an expensive feather,
| would not van to spoil it. Thank
ing you in advance, / remain, respect
fully yours, e. II.
AS a rule a professional cleaner OBJ
tains better results than an amateur
does. However, the heated flour ap-
plication will not injure your feather
and will probably make it as white as
you desire. First get rid of as much
dust as possible by shaking the feather
in the open air. Then cover the
feather with flour that has been heated
very warm, but not Drowned. After
about half an hour shake the feather
out and cover it with clean, heated
flour. Put it in a bandbox for a
couple of days and at the end Of that
time shake it out again. Most of the
dirt will come out with the flour, but
If the feather is still soiled repeat the
applications.

satin which is bound round the head
and caught with a posy of flowers on
the nape of the neck, a few little curls
escaping from under 1t. A scarf of
cherry satin, finished behind with a
tight bunch of small black velvet
roses. makes a very effective scheme,

keep them bound under the satin fllet.

Dur evening head-dresses cause us
a great deal Of thought and considera-
ton just now. No one will wear any
thing stereotyped. Everyone follows
after startling originality, with the re-

Some women draw their inspirations
in this respect from the old Egyptian

with this exception, and even this form
is only one of many, there is nothing
like uniformity. One woman will per-

which is laid across the head just
