To Clean ParasoI

Dear Friend:
Kindly let me know how / can clean
a green taffeta silk p~arasol. I dropped
1t on an excursion boat and got it
soiled. I never noticed 1t until n few
days later. l tried gasoline. II still
it is soiled and the gasoline left a circle.
Then / washed it with soap and water,
but 1t will not come out. Thanking you
in advance for n favor you may do,
l remain. MRS. II. p.
The stain on YOU parasol may
have been made by some greasy sub
stance, so try sponging the spots
with equal parts of ether and alco-
hol. Wipe dry with an old piece of
linen. If when the p~arasol is dry
the spots still remain rub French
chalk into them and let it stay on
for a couple of days. Then brush
off thoroughly.
Another preparation recommended
for taking stains from silk is COM
posed of five parts of glycerine mixed
with five parts of water and one
quarter of ammonia. If when tried
on some part of the silk where II

WHEN TO co

One Of the most embarrassing
forms of ignorance that / have no.
ticed is the uncertain grasp of social
affairs evinced by many in staying on
and on and outstaying a welcome,
whether 1t be a visit of many days
or a short call.
The knowledge of when to go is
most important. If a woman does
not know this she is in danger of:
branding herself as lacking in the
essentials of etiquette. Remember
that 1t is better to go too soon than
to stay beyond the accepted time. 1t
is much better to be wanted to come
again than to leave a hostess vored
and Disguised.
If you are invited to a little house
party, find out clearly the length OF
your stay, and when the time arrives
go. 1t may happen that your hostess
might suggest an extension of your
visit. but, considering everything, not
the least of which is the outfit that
you have brought for the allotted
time. it were better TO go when you
first expected.
AT the first call on newcomers,
brides Or after any special entertain
ments, the time usually spent is from
twenty minutes to a half hour. Keep

THE HOT WATER REMEDY


Are you a busy. worried woman,
who comes home at night with tenn
pies throbbing and every muscle ach-
ing from fatigue? If so, you often
say to yourself: 81 am dead tired.
and I haven't the ambition to dress
or even comb my hair for the eve
Then you lounge about and
go to bed about g o'clock with your
head still. aching and your limbs just
as tired as when you came in. The
next time you feel that way just slip
off the waist of your gown, brush
your hair up on the top of your head
and battle the hack of your head with
hot water. When the pain is a little
relieved wash your face with the
same reviver, and by the time that
is done you will feel like brushing
your hair and fixing up a bit. The
hot water cure is quite as eficacious
taken externally as internally.

Little did the leader of the French
revolution think that his collar would
be brought into play over a century
later and his name be on the lips of
who have forgotten their
French history, but who know enough
to accept a new or revival style when
IL is becoming.
The Robespierre collar is the lead
ing note in neckwear, and one of the
distinctive features on all fall suits
and costumes. 1t appears in many
variations of the original idea. and
the combination OF different fabrics
gives a great difference in effect.
There are high Robespierre collars of
plain piaue, and the same pattern In
black-and-white satin with a trim
ming Of tiny pearl buttons will be
entirely changed in appearance.
These collars of the stock type
have turned-over tops, extending down
as far as the lower line In some
models, and presenting edges one-
half inch wide in others. Fastenings
can be in front or at the back. Small
eravats of black or colored satin are
shown, while "a favorite modification
of the original idea has its turned
down edges held together by a long,
soft silk tie. slipped through button
holes at each side.
Double and triple ruffles of shadow
net, deep va%lenciennes and plain tulle
are used to fill the gap between the
fall coats or their little vests.
Fol the woman who has a good-lo
ing neck and likes the low line in
neckwear, the Robespierre collar has
been turned far back from the neck
line, quite as a Byron cnllar Is ad-
justed. There is more space IN front,
and the mark of differentiation is the
attachment of a vest of linen cor lace
that extends to the waist line. This

Do You Know How to Choose Vegetables,

Only those who have been accus-
toned to eating green vegetables
fresh from the garden realize in
what poor condition are many of the
vegetables sold to the city buyer.
Some varieties. as green peas, are SO
delicate Il favor that even a few
hours removal from the vines brings
about a change. Indeed, the market
gardener has been obliged to develop
the keeping qualities of vegetables
and fruit al the expense of flavor.
If lightly packed and transported
only a short distance, the deteriora-
ton in most vegetables is not notice
able. but If closely packed for any
length of time changes due to n
action of "ferments" normally pres
ent in the living tissue take place,
with a consequent loss of flavor.
In green corn. for example. the fer
ments present begin Immediately to
destroy the contained sugar, and thus
the corn is robbed of flavor very
shortly after picking. These changes
are often accompanied by changes In
appearance by which they may be
detected. especially in green corn and
in peas and beans.

A bleach tina is we'll recommended

Let the mixture stay on over night.
After washing in the morning wipe
thu mixture over the face again.
Many people find plain lemon juice
an effective bleach for tan. 1t Is a
good plan to put the juice on the face,
wash and apply it again, letting the
last moisture dry into the skin.
Instead of applying the lemon juice

A SIMPLE LITTLE FROCK

Pretty frocks of washable materials

rever on one side of the front. The
sleeves are of the "set-in'' sort and
are finished at the elbows with turned
back cuffs and the neck is round.
The banding is used on the neck,
cuffs. revers and belt and a row is
applied at the top Of the hem OF
the skirt. The skirt is cut in four
cores and the front and back cores
form box plaits. The model is charm
ing just as it is shown, but a palmer

model can be modified to supply this

Potatoes Not Too Young.
When housekeepers buy vegetables
of peddlers they should ~patronize, if
possible, h grower rather than the
huckster. The grower must sell out
and go home, and it is to the buck
I that he sells his surplus, and
this surplus is often so manipulated
as to sell for fresh goods until the
next market day. The huckster in
his off hours may often be seen
trimming off the wilted outside
leaves of celery. cabbage and lettuce
and giving a fresh surface to the
stem, and sometimes rinsing or
sprinkling the lettuce with water not
infrequently far from clean. The
heets which were left over, after los
ing little by little their tops, are
sold by measure to whoever will
buy.
1t may be said lin general that
when a given vegetable is cheapest
then it is best. for all conditions are
hen favorable to its development.
Potatoes should be bought in a fully
ripened state. not too young: nor is
it necessary TO eat them when they
have become too old. as it is easy TO
find substitution such as boiled rice,
hominy and similar foods.
Vegetables of medium size, neither
very large nor very small. will be
generally found to be the best, and

Kindly let me know if ~vaseline will

Yes, vaseline is good for increasing

and sometimes more serious injuries
as a result. If l We're you I would

sweeping lashes, but l would v
gain them at a risk to the sight.
The eye is a very delicate organ

brush to the edge of the lids and not
