Color of MILDLY Blouse Collar
"Rano
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
While washing a MILDLY blouse, piped
with red. the eolor ran into the white.
Kindly let me know what will remove
the stain? THE STAR READER.
The best thing to do will be to re-
move the collar, boil the blouse until
YOU have removed as much of the color
IS possible by this method and then lay
It out in the sun, keeping t wet for at
ieasta half day. If a repetition of this
treatment does not bring about the de-
tired result, try dipping the blouse in
~Javellc water. Place side by side two
v~essels. one containing %javelle water,
the other clear water to which a little
ammonia has been added. DIP the
blouse in the ~javelle weter, remove it
quickly, rinse 1t thoroughly IN the am
monia water and then dry It. This
nhould remove the dye stains. If 1
were you | would wear detachable col
lars with the blouse, especially If you
desire red. This color has a great ten
cency to run even after precaution
has been taken to "set" IT before
washing.

Oh, Maiden Ladies, How Can

look at the rose bushes, or something of
the sort. 1t is hard TO refuse their
point blank invitations, and while my
wife does not say much. | can see she
doesn't like 1t. Something must be done
or there may be trouble. r. w. S.
1t certainly is a shame for those
maiden ladies' to annoy their neighbor
so. II they persist in extending invita-
tions to you to the exclusion of your
wife | dom blame her for not relishing
their attentions, nc matter what their
intentions may be. II l were you

work the mex time they veint you TO
look at the roses. Nelghborliness is d
beautiful thing, but not when it con-
centrates itself upon the men of the
family and negleets the women. With
out being rude you can probably make
them understand the situation. Certainly
they cannot offer youth as an excuse.

Mother Opens Daughters Mai
Dear Miss Doom:

Lear MISS loon a.
am a girl is years old and my mother
says she has n right to read all the lek-
ters J. get from young men. She even
opens some letters before | see them
when she gets a chance. She snys she
ought to guard me against mistakes. Am
| wrong to Oppose this? JENNIE.
A mother and daughter should be snch
good chums that the girl would not
think of doing otherwise than allowing
her mother TO look at her letters. How
ever, 1t Is wrong for a mother to tyran-
nize over her daughter in the manner
YOU describe. The mother should mike
sure that there is nothing wrong in her
daughters correspondence; after thnn
she Should leave the whole matter in
her daughters hands. The girl ought
certainly to have the privilege of opening
her own mail and enjoying rights of pri-
yacy to her letters, within sensible
bounds.

 "But Pennsylvania chickens. in running away from car, run straight down the middle of the road. They keep directly in your path. There's nothing to do but stop. Otherwise you'll kill them =
