Cleaning Garments by
Use of Soap Bark

When a wooIen skirt becomes really
soiled, not merely spotted and streaked.
which can be removed with any OF the
various cleaning fluids. but when 1t has
gone beyond this stage, then the very
best and quickest way Of cleansing at
home is to wash 1t with soap bark
There can be no fear Of failure. Tor
soap bark is the safest cleanser Tor
wooden goods known: while clear water
and the bark are the only ingredients
necessary. Black or colored woolens can
be washed w.t.. equal success.
First. brush the skirt thoroughly to re-
move dust Meantime, place over the fire
a vessel containing cold water and 5
cents worth Of soap bark. Let this boil Tor
about ten minutes and then strain into a
tub. Add cold water until the tempera-
ture is comfortable for the hands and
then immerse the garment to be washed
Allow it to soak for five minutes or so
to loosen the dirt. Add more cold water
to the bark and set on the fire again
This is for the rinsng water.
Now, move up and down In the water,
rubbing any bad spots. and squeeze con-
stantly through the hands. This will

Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE

Long skirts are gradually coming into
favor, and by the time the new season
Is fairly under way they will be the
rule for all occasions save for morning
affairs and the street. Heretofore there
have BEEN but two designations for skirts
according to length They were either
long or short; now, while the short model
is generally understood to be of uniform
length, a long one rarely is. Neither Is
its train necessarily at the back. On the
contrary, 1t is very apt to he at any other
point of the skirts circumference for
the skirt may be long in front, like the
model illustrated. slanted to a point that
drags along the floor at the right side or
the left. or just any way fancy dictates
Nevertheless, all this apparent careless
ness does not mean il is easy to hang
skirt, for just because the lower edge is
justed, will persist in f1aring out here and
there in a way that spoils the lines en-
tirely.
The original of the illustration is
calling costume of taupe charmeuse with
a bodice of silver brocade veiled with
darker taupe silk marquisette. The skirt
is slashed down the center front. the two
sections thereby made drawn UP under
the belt and nicely arranged to fall over

cate the direction. a row of polished steel
buttons decorates the front of the tunic.

and jabot of plated chaarme1Ise. and the
sleeves. cut with the body portion. have
the frills turned up against them, the
plaits stitched to within an inch of the
edge.
A great deal will he done with this idea
of matching brocadc to a skirt of some
plain silk. instead of having the entire
gown Of either one or .he other weaves.
and an amazing number of changes can
be rung by yelling metal cloths with two
tranSparencies that result in the exact
tone of the skirt to which ii belongs.
Taupe yelling in the darker shades is
extremely useful in this capacity, and
