LAUNDRY HELPS.

A good way TO bleach handkerchiefs,
when it Is not convenient to hang
them outdoors, is to wash them and
then let them soak overnight in water
in which a little cream Of tartar has
been dissolved.
II ecru curtains become bleached on
the lower half where they hang al the
window unprotected from the sun. try
dissolving two or three teaspoonfuls or
yellow ocher in a half cupful of warm
water and putting it in your starch.
Sometimes white trimmings on a col
ored dress look dingy. Wiring a white
cloth out in thin starch, place on the
trimming. then put a dry cloth over
that and iron with a hot iron, and the
dirt will come off on TO the starched
cloth.
To make starch for a black lawn or
organdie dress that will make it look
like new and will not show on the
dress take black dye and dissolve 1t
as you would for coloring and keep
bottled. When you make the starch
make it quite thin, strain the dye and
pour a little into the starch. The dress
will iron beautifully.

She was NJ an upper window gazing
disconsolately toward the empty poul-

to stray to the yard of her neighbor.
She saw the turkey tethered to the

night. 1t was adding insult to injury
to return as a gift what he had previ-
ously stolen.
Jasper's bewilderment hads changed
to anger.

incredulously. But it is only on a par
with your previous actions. Permit
me, madam, to inform you that the
turkey arrived by express last night.
You can get the express agent to veri-
fy my words"
1t was the next evening that there
came a timid tap at ~Jasper's door. 1t
was the girl from the next house. Her
long lashes hid the dark eyes. and the
scornful mouth trembled. Only the
nose still tilted aggravatingly. Il have

Jasper was silent.
The girl went on bravely. though
there was a choke in her voice: "And-

you won't come over and have some
of your turkey with us tomorrow. Fa-

and an ordinary telegraph form.
When you are going to show this
experiment have the various coins on
the table and also the telegraph form,

of the form and point out that just

A small number of beans OF other
counters are held In the hand, and the
question is, "Odd or even?" If the guess

which must be answered without u.s.
ing the vowel which the questioner
prohibits.
Counters in the form of beans or
chips or bits of paper should be evenly
distributed before the game begins,
and if the forbidden vowel is used in
answer the culprit must pay TO the
Questioner three counters.
The next in line hen ask a qres-
ton, and so around the circle. There
may be a box of candies for a prize.
and the one who has the most counters
at the end OF the game is the winner.
The questioning may be like this:

THIS REQUIRES SKILL.
Balancing on a Chair While Stretching
For a Piece of Candy.

Place a wooden chair on the ground
so that the back and back legs are
horizontal in the air and the front legs
rest horizontally on the ground. Now
ask your best friend to kneel on the
lower back bar and TO recover with
his lips a piece of paper or candy
placed on the top bar of the chairs
back.
The trick seems very simple at first.
but if the one trying to obtain the
candy is not very careful and does not
think of the center of gravity the chair
will topple forward. The center of
gravity must fall back of the chair
seat. otherwise the sugar will fall to
the ground, and the experimenter will
follow suit. landing on a pillow. which
should be placed for his protection on
the floor.
