Removing Stains.

Before sending linens to the laun-
dry they should be well examined to
see if they are stained. Table linens
especially should be carefully looked
after, and when stained should be
well washed and left to stand in very
hot water to which tablespoonful of
borax or teaspoonful of salts of
lemon has been added. If the stains
appear stubborn, this may have to be
repeated several times. Rinse in cold
water and hang out to bleach. Never
plunge clothes in hot water with soda,
as this will set the stain. Fruit stains
may usually be removed by pouring
boiling water on them.

Washing Elannels.

Greatest care must be observed in
washing fannels; otherwise they will
shrink, become bad color or be en-
tirely ruined.
Take enough warm water-not hot,
for that is sure to shrink f1annel-and
for each gallon add a teaspoonful of
borax and one of ammonia. Shave a
half cake of pure white soap, add a
little water and boil until dissolved.
Pour this into the water prepared for
the fiannels and gently rinse and
knead them in the water until they
are quite clean. Never rub fannels,
for this mats and causes them to be-
come harsh and thick.

DOOM LATTICE MAST
Navy Men Say They Must Be
Abandoned.
Practically Indestructible, but vibra
ton Proves Handicap to Range
Finders and Diminishes Ac-
curacy in Gunnery.

Washington.-The skeleton masts
on the United States battleships, dis
tinctly feature OF American war
craft, are said to be doomed for the
scrap heap. There is great deal OF
discussion in naval circles over the
apparently well-founded report that
the navy department intends to aban,
don the skeleton masts with which
all battleships are now equipped be-
cause they have not come up to ex.
pectations, and from the viewpoint OF
naval experts are hindrance and g
handicap to efficient craftsmanship.
The vibration of the mast, due to its
slender mechanism, is said to be the
chief defect For this reason the
range finder, whose duty it is to pick
up the object and communicate the
distance to the gun pointers, is I'M
able to do SC with the CELEBRITY and
accuracy that would be demanded in
naval engagement.
When the skeleton mast was intro
duced on American battleships it was
agreed generally great step had been
taken in advance of other nations. 1t
was the belief then, and still is, that
the mast is indestructible, which gave
the ship in time of action big ad-
vantage, for if the mast could not be
shot away the fire control system OF
the vessel at no time would be threat
ened.
The position of the range finder Is
at the top of the mast. He is the
pulse of the ship, and mistakes made

STYLES MUCH MORE SIMPLE
Richness of Attire That Has Marked
Past Seasons Has Been Con-
siderabIy Modified.

This year the girl who is trying to
adjust the balance between a self
respecting smartness of attire and
minute income has everything on her
side. Compared with last years rich
ness and eccentricity, which made the
task more than puzzling to the home
dressmaker, there is notable revival
of the severely simple
Hats with hardly any trimming at
all, braid and buttons in lieu of en-
broideries, simply cut dresses of one
color only, and the plainest of coats
and skirts, are a few of the sweeping
changes in store for US. There is
very little doubt that the majority Of
women will welcome the new order of
things.
Foremost among the revivals of the
winter is the return to favor of our old
friend, the blouse, which suffered a
period of almost total eclipse during
the summer, when the all conquering
little frock" swept everything before
it. 1t comes back absolutely in it's
earliest and most elementary form.
The shirtwaist was the shape in which
the blouse was first made known to
us, if one excludes the old Garibaldi.
and this year it will reign again in all
it's trim simplicity.
With the shirt blouse comes another
old friend that has been long neglect
ed. The smartest and most fashion
able belt for the coming season will
be made of plain patent leather, fas-
tened by the simplest and most unas-
Stunning of buckles.

An Aid to Beauty.

Camphor water applied to the nose
with soft cloth at intervals will re-

Persons not susceptible to colds
should try walking briskly in the rain
without an umbrella as tonic for the
complexion.
Equal portions of pure rice powder
and some one of the favorite French
face powders make a delicate and eff
fectual filing for the powder box Of
the woman who always cannot afford
the French brands.
The teeth should be brushed thor
oughly with a reliable powder or
paste in the morning and lightly after
each meal and before going to bed.

Vwy HE very large cities, and few
smaller ones, have succeeded in
n establishing the custom of five
O'Clock tea,' which is altogether
worth while. 1t is little event in
the day, for those who would other
wise stay at home, which takes wom-
en- out. of doors for space and brings
them into inspiring touch with each
other. After the matinee or the after
moons shopping one may see women
at their prettiest in, the tea rooms of
the hotels, or the great shops, or at
those confectioners who are wise
enough to provide an attractive rem
devious for homeward bound patrons.
The comfortable part is that one may
be gowned appropriately in the plain
est of tailor-n.ades or in more preten-
tious visiting costumes, and, in the
matter of millinery, everything is ad-
rlissabble, with the tendency toward
dressy hats, ever growing in favor.
Hats plain, more hats semi-dress and
most hats dressy may be looked for
at the five o'clock tea
This latitude in millinery is por-
trayed in the three hats shown here.

Potatoes, plain and Sweet.

mashed potatoes lies in the whipping.
Beat them until they are smooth and
