ADVICE ON CLEANING
FEW THINGS NOT CAPABLE OF
BEING RENOVATED.
RefurbIshlng White Straw Hat-To
Restore Color Of sunshade-6est
Method Of Cleaning Leather
and White Paint.

To Clean a White Straw Hat.-Add
one tablespoonful Of ammonia to two
quarts of boiling water. Dust the hat
sprinkle sulphur all over 1t. Soap well
q nail brush and scrub the hat, dip
ping the brush very frequently into
the water Rinse in tepid water and
dry in the air.
To Clean a Sunshade.-Open the
sunshade and have ready a tub Of
warm water, a piece of hard soap and
q nail brush Rub the soap thickly
onto the brush and carefully brush
the sunshade on the outside, paying
special attention to the dirty reeve
that runs up the middle of each d.
vision. Also brush round the top.
When the outside has been done the
sunshade should be reversed and
placed on a table and each division
brushed on the inside. The soap
should then be removed by pouring
clean water over it. and, lastly, so
luton of gum water should be poured
over the silk This gives a slight
stiffening, and when dry 1t looks al
most like new. The sunshade must
be left open until quite dry. II dries
quicker Il placed in a warm room or
near fire.
Cleaning Ball.-A cleaning ball
which may easily be made at home
and will be found useful for cleaning
cloth and renovating clothes in gen.
eral Is made as follows: Mix togeth-
er one ounce Of powdered French
chalk and FIVE ounces Of powdered
pipeclay, and add to 1t two ounces Of
spirits Of wine. Form the ingredients
into a paste and leave It to harden.
When 1t is required for use moisten
the parts that want cleaning with
warm water and rub them well with
one of the balls. Dry them In the sun.
To Clean Leather-The handbag or
satchel Of undressed kid, when soiled
by usage. need not be turned over to
the professional cleaner. The secret
Of restoration is piece of sandpaper
rubbed over the surface. A very fine
grade of sandpaper is required When
this is used with care the effect is
magical and no injury to the material
accrues. Many kinds of feathers with
out polished surface-for example,
suede, undressed and ooze calfskin-
can be cleaned thus.
To Clean White Paint.-The secret
Of cleaning white paint Is to divide
the work between two people. one Of
whom undertakes the washing Of the
wood and the other the polishing Soap
suds and warm water, which are the
best for enamel. should be applied
with a piece of flannel. while clean
buster and a piece Of old linen are
ready to dry and polish the wood i'm
mediately the flannel has done its
work.

Their explanations. They parted in an

engagement-and both Of them were
miserable.
Two days after that the ring reap
peared inside the wrapping paper
around a piece of meat from the mar
ket, which Miss Carberry unwrapped
when she took 1t out of the icebox.
The girl, at the insistence of her moth
er, wrote to Mr.. Ladd, returning the
ring and stating that she had found
1t in peculiar place and expressing
regret that fits loss had caused them
to quarrel Ladd hurried to her as
soon as he got the note and begged
her to forgive him and to wear the
ring again.
AS no one outside the immediate
family knew Of the broken engage
ment, they kissed. made up, vowed
never again to allow such trivialities to
mar their perfect happiness. Miss Car
berry wore her ring. again, proudly ex-
hibiting 1t to her bends.
Four days later Miss Carberry &C
cepted Mr.. Ladd's f5trnestion to meet
her at luncheon. They had a jelly
little luncheon, and Miss Carberry and
Ladd both remember that she had the
ring on her engagement finger when
they were eating the salad. A man
friend OF Mr.. Ladd's entered and
stopped at the table to speak to him,
and was presented to Miss Carberry
proudly as his 1ancee. Miss Carberry

HOODOO RING
THAT PARTED
FOND HEARTS

n YEw YORK.-when Frank M.
Ladd stood on the end OF the
III iron pier at Atlantic City the
II other day with Miss Jeanette
Carberry and threw a carat
and a half solitaire diamond ring as
far as he could into the waters OF
the Atlantic some of the spectators
thought him insane. But as the ring
flashed and sank Ladd turned and
said. Thank heaven it's gone" and
Miss Carberry sighed happily.
The act probably dispensed for all
time with the hoodooed engagement
ring that four times caused Mr.. Laid
to figure in broken engagements and
which FIVE times he placed upon the
finger Of Miss Carberry, where now
a new cut diamond flashes. Unless
some luckless loving couple dallying
in the sand at Atlantic City some time
dig up the solitaire the hoodoo VIII re-
main with the mermaids.
The story of the i'll luck that has
followed the ring and its peculiar ad-
ventures leads toward the realm OF
uncanny mysteries. No explanation
yet has been offered, no theory
evolved beyond that the whole thing
must have been the work Of some hu-
man enemy of either Ladd or his
fiancee.
Nothing Extraordinary In Principals.
Mr.. Ladd is New Yorker; that is,
he has a business in New York but
resides in Brooklyn. down in the Pros
pect park south district. Miss Car
berry lives In the same neighborhood
with her parents, and until two years
ago was assistant buyer for a big New

Miss Carberry first put on the ring
the evening of January when she ac-
cepted Mr.. Ladd's proposal. She was
much pleased with the ring itself, be
sides she seemed unusually happy and
wore the ring proudly. The following
Friday Mr.. Ladd called to take her
TO the theater. She wore the ring
and distinctly remembered that after

started away she turned out the light.
and rs she started to her boudoir she
stopped on the staircase and kissed

ring was missing.
The Ring Disappears.
Miss Carberry made hasty search
of her room and her bed. then sum-

the loss. and told her to take every
thing in the room and hallway to
pieces and find the ring, as Mr.. Ladd
was going to call that evening and

German Scions Who Sell Their

Berlin.-Berlin society is again agi-
tated over the question Of name
marriages" a subject which has long
been a painful one In the annals Of
many noble families, making an un-
pleasant chapter in the history Of Ger
man morals.
Name marriages have recently be-
come of frequent occurrence owing to
the ever increasing large number Of
scapegoat scions of noble houses who
are quite willing to become modern

modern equivalent of a mess OF pot

The case of a well known Berlin
demimondaine. Countess Frieda Won
Strachwitz. in her more respectable
days employed a masseuse, and who
was murdered about three years ago,
was a notable instance of name mar
rage. She became a countess at the
cheapest price on record. Her worth
less husband sold himself. together
with his name, crest and q nine
pointed grafen crown. to the masseuse
for ten marks in gold, a secondhand
suit Of clothes and hot supper.
On the other hand some fair prices
are on record. A recent name mar
riage contracted between well-to-do
Berlin parvenue and a member OF an
ancient Brandenburg and Pomeranian
family distinguished in war and peace,
