Woman and Her Varied Interests
Modes in Brief.

Modes I'm Brief
The soft brim hat of stitched silk
or linen is popular for motoring or
tramping.
A conceit of the season is to have
design on the coat wrought out in
heavy self-covered cording.
Colored edging is finish to some
of the net ruffles which mark the new
lingerie
Shirtwaists of pique are worn with
skirts of ratine or eponge. OF
course. the new pique is much more
supple than the material of the same
name so popular several years ago.
Plaits, it is said. will be seen in
coats as we'll as skirts the coming
winter, while sashes will be more pop
ular than ever.
Velvet waistcoats complete many OF
the early fall costumes.
Among the fall colors is a curious
shade of green known as Bakst
green. Copper, brick, silver and vio-
let in exquisite tones are among the
colors of beautiful new fabrics.
Scald the Wool.
Before mending stockings with or
dinary darning yarn. it is a good plan
to scald the skein or card over the
spout of kettle of boiling water. saws
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. By this
means the steam effectually shrinks
the wool and when the stocking Is
sent to the wash there will be no
thought of the mended portion shrink
ing away or tearing the surrounding
part
| Cooking Dishes.
instead of using securing agencies
to keep your tins and pots spotless
you should simply wash them IN hot
clean suds and dry well before put
ting them away. For baking tins
such as cake and bread tins. lust heat
ana wipe them with damp cloth.
says the Los Angeles Express III
1000 mas burned on. set your dish
aside with little warm water and
sal soda in it. Then wash in the
usual way. Food will never stick or
burn on to cooking dishes treated in
this way.
Keep Alright
Many housekeepers have trouble
With keeping alright anything that
is put up in jars. If however. after n
bottle or jar is corked it is sealed with
mixture of beeswax and rosin there
Is no danger of air getting at it, To
make this sealing mixture put two
ounces of yellow beeswax and four
ounces of rosin in a small tin can
which is then set in a larger pan of |
hot water. Stir constantly until the
wax and rosin are well blended Ap-
ply while still liquid to the outside |
of the corked jar or bottle.-Louis- |

Old Panama Hat May Be Renewed
A business girl gives this method |
OF renewing panama hat:
with clean vegetable brush re |
move all dust and loose dirt from the |
hat. Then place it on wash board |
or some other. flat surface from which |
the damp straw will absorb no color |
Beginning with the top of the crown
scrub small portion of the hat a |
time with cold water into which per-
oxide has been diluted and If neces-
sary use naphtha soap of some re-
laDle to make. Rub as near dry as you |
can with fresh towel each portion |
as 1t Is scrubbed Dry in a dark room !!
or shade, where the sun cannot reach |
It,
To re-block the hat. while it is
quite damp take a pudding pan the |
shape and size you want the crown.
Mold the crown over this pan. You
can get most any shape or size pud-
ding pan at the 5 and o cent store
Be sure to get pan without handle
of any kind unless the pan is deep
enough so that the handle will not |
come in contact with the rim of the
hat. If the rim is too broad, while
1t is yet damp fold back like YOU
would the hem of garment and stit-
ch it around by hand. When it is
damp you can press the edge of the
rim together so it will not be necess-
airy to fold or gather When the hat
Is about dry press the rim with a
moderately hot iron, being careful
not to scorch. If when the hat is per-
fectly dry the rim droops. take a
strong white thread and stitch around
the outer edge of the rim. drawing
the thread just a little as you stitch.
If you run a strong white thread a
round the crown at the base close to
the rim. it will hold it firm.
reblocked my panama of four sea-
sons in this way after one of the
wholesale houses told me 1t was too
small in the head size for any block
they had. 1t is easier to reblock a
hat than 1t is to clean one.
