FASHIONS AND FADS

Black kid gloves are bound to wear
rusty at the fnger-ends. When that
is the case. add a few drops Of black
ink to a teaspoonful of olive oil, and
with a camel's-hair brush paint the
rutsy places
Needles kept in a needle book with
the leaves made of flannel are bound
to rust. There is a dressing in fan
mel which causes this. Better make
the leaves of your needle book of
small pieces of chamois skin
Old ink stains in cotton goods can
be removed by melting tallow and
while it is boiling drop the ink-spotted
material into it and keep it there until
the spot is saturated. Then rub with
soap Until the spot disappears.
When black lace grows rusty, il
can be restored by dipping il IN
strong solution of vinegar and water.
Then rinse in coffee and iron while
damp, with piece of flannel placed
between the lace and the iron.
Creamed ham is very delicious. Cut
cold ham into thin shavings, put one
rounding teaspoonful OF butter into
a small saucepan, melt and add one
cup Of milk. When hot, put in the
ham and dust with pepper. When all
is cooked creamy, serve at once.
Water bottles pickle jars or any
glass that is stained where it is inn
possible to get the hand inside, to
wash il crush an eggshell and force
Il through the neck of the bottle,
add a little warm water, shake we'll,
and you will find the glass clean and
polished.
Oysters are bound to be tough If
they are cooked long. In a stew
they should remain over the fire only
long enough TO curl their edges, and
in frying they should be taken out Of
the fat when they are golden brown,
The fat should be hot enough to brown
them almost Immediately.
1t is very difficult to whip the white
of an egg II the yolk breaks when
separating them and particle of the
latter gets into the whites. When this
happens. take a clean cloth dipped in
hot water, insert a corner of it into the
white OF the egg; the particles of
yolk will adhere 20 the CLOTH.
Dry plaster of paris is supposed to
be an excellent thing TO clean white
fur Il should be carefully rubbed
into every part of the fur with the
hand After il has been carefully
gone over. allow it to stand for
short while, then brush and shake out
well and wipe with a clean white, dry
cloth
Sometimes the strap which connects
the wheels of the sewing machine be-
comes stretched too long To tighten
It. slip it out of its groove and take
off the piece of metal connecting the
two ends by the aid of pincers, then
cut off a trife Of the end of the strap
and fasten together again.
If the mayonnaise dressing has
curdled, YOU can save the oil by plac-
ing the dressing in a cold place The
olive oil will gradually come to the
surface; the egg and other ingredients
will be in the form of sediment at the
bottom Pour off the oil, strain If
necessary and prepare a new mayon-
naise with it.
When the sewing machine is not
running. il is frequently because there
IS a collection of dust in the bearings.
When this is the case. the machinery
should be moistened with kerosene,
then turn the balance wheel backward
and forward. After the bearings have
become clean, oil the machine with
regular machine oil.
The odds ana ends OF meats can oe
made into a very delicious mixture for
sandwiches. Run the meat through
the chopper To each pint of chop
ned meat allow one heaping teasoon-
ful of boiling water Add salt, pepper
and celery seed 70 taste. Mix well,
pack in Jelly glasses and put into
cold place until needed.
Gowns for semi-evening occasions
have round skirts and long trans
parent sleeves Many of these dresses
are carried out in three colors-like
coral, blue and green.
One of the new brooade coats is
the cassock, savoring of the Russian
blouse. 1t has a belt, and a border
and cuffs of fur A skirt of cloth,
-charmeuse or satin would be quite ap-
propriate with this.
Charming velvet frocks for after
