In the Laundry

Many housekeepers look upon laun-
dry work as drudgery. Of course it
means an outlay of considerable time
and effort, but the burden can be
greatly lessened and the work made
much more satisfactory by adopting
a system that includes the smallest
details, says the Michigan Farmer.
Get the best, most up to date laun-
dry helps and then give your tools
and your work your careful attention.
After you are through using your
wringer, before covering it up until
the following week, unscrew it, dry it
thoroughly and wipe it with a cloth
moistened with kerosene. This is a
splendid stain and dirt remover. This
may seem a small matter, but will
greatly prolong the usefulness of your
machine.
Thesvery best clothespins obtainable
are none too good to use. There are
several kinds on the market of the
spring type, guaranteed not to rust
and are durable and practical. But if
you prefer the ordinary wooden kind,
it is best to throw them into boiling
water before they are used. They are
less liable to yellow when served in
this way.
The clothespin apron made of
strong ticking, turned up at the bot
tom to form two wide, but not very
deep pockets, is a convenience well
known, but often neglected.
Your ironing board should receive
especial attention. To withstand the
constant wear and tear the covering
should be made from the strongest
and newest of cloth. 1t will take less
than yard, ~ inches wide,, so the
cost will be only trifle This can be
sewed up lengthwise and slipped On
the board. For protection for this
make smooth fitting cover of denim.
This should never be off the board
when not in use.
Ihe ironing board should be clamped
hrmly to the board This does away
with the danger of its slipping and
the IRONS falling to the floor.
Inc irons must be kept perfectly
clean to give the best service. This
means they must be scraped clean Of
starch frequently and rubbed over fine
salt or washed in soap and water and
orled' Wax is another important ad-
Junct, though care must be taken that
this is wiped off with cloth or paner
before using on clothes.
A great deal of wear and tear on
the clothes can be avoided by the
use of small hand brush. Instead of
rubbing the clothes on the wash board
lay the solled spot on the board. rub
well with soap and scrub with the
brush. 'ne
When greasy pieces are washed add
iittle Kerosene to the water. This
Will help in removing the dirt. Rnb
soap on the worst spots and LEFT tbe
garment cook for short time in soan~
suds to which the oil has been addad
and then wash.

For dampening the clothes use a

"NeXt Year,
Baseball Talk
By Hal Sheridan

(Written for the United Press)
New York, Oct. 16.-As this is the
open season for the spilling Of "neXt
year" talk, get ready to watch Clark
Griffith's smoke in the American
league during 1914. The "Old Fox"
expects to be in the race from bell
to bell. He isn't claiming the PEN
nant, but lightning has been known
to strike in other places than Phila-
delphia, so how about Washington.
Furthermore Grif calmly announced
that he would never buy another
pitcher as long as he mixed up in
baseball. After that he won't have
any use for them.
"Go out and pick them up" said
Griffith. "That is the only way to get
the good ones now. | have five pitch
ers on my staff at the present time
who give promise of being as good as
they make them. Not one of them
cost me a nickle; not nickle. They
are Boehling, Shaw, Bentley, Harper
and Engle. Boehling showed what he
was worth this season by peeling off
ten straight victories as an opener.
He will be even better next year"
Griffith is not waiting until spring
to get started with his young pitchers.
They are working right now. AS soon
as the regular season closed Grif
hustled up to New York for the
worlds series and the rest of the team
scattered, but the youngsters stuck
right in Washington with a catcher.
They are little shy of control and
Grif will keep them on the job, work
ing out every day until the snow flies.
1t was only early this spring that
Griffith yelled about the scarcity Of
left-handed pitchers. Then Boehling
came along. Now he has Bentley and
Harper, southpaws, added to his
string. Show, who came to Washing
ton from York, Pa, team. is touted as
having as much speed as Walter john
son. Grif can't see any reason for
worrying through the winter.
TO help Griffith along bit with his
hopes for next year, we nominate
President Wilson as the candidate to
pitch the ball out on the diamond for
the worlds series. The Athletics
caught him with crippled team for
six games in row or there would
have been different story to tell this
year, in Griff's opinion. And the
Washington boss declares Walter
Johnson could beat the Giants three
games out of four without batting ar
eye.

the strictly tailored suits. The hens
of some of the skirts are faced with a
contrasting color, while other skirts
have the hem turned back on the right
side much as a man S pegtop trousers.

Plaid coats with skirts of plain ma
terial, or plaid skirts with plain coats
have not as yet become ordinary. High
land plaids are most popular just at
present, For dressy suits velvet in diff
ferent shades with chamois vests, col.
lars and cuffs are decidedly ultra.
WAISTS.
Waists to wear with tailored suits
are of crepe de chine, plaid silk. soft
silk, plain or fancy silk Jersey, and
lingerie waists, A new material used
in lingerie waists is book muslin, an
old fashioned material which we call by
a French name, the back and sleeves Of
soft silk models are cut in one. Many
of the waists are made with basque,
Bolero blouses with a peplum in the
back are good choice The strictly
tailor made waist of tub silk and crepe
has proved its value too much TO be dis
carded. Long sleeves finished with frilly
ruffles seem TO be the thing. The bet
ter grade waists are usually fitted with
Bayadere sashes, the yokes are adjust
able and are sometimes buttoned to the
waist with small novelty buttons.
Dressy waists are Of net, chiffon, flmy
laces and beaded net. Unless the waist
is white it usually harmonizes with the
suit. Printed silks, modern art designs,
are used in waists. Waists are made
with simulated vest effects. Some ex-
elusive models have the waist In vest
like form with the sleeves in another
color, usually in printed material
Fichu effects for the waist front, filled
in with hemstitched ruffles, are well
liked.
Fashion continues to set its approval
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-09-14

on the all-in-one dress season after sea
son. Simple one.piece dresses are made
so that they conform TO all the style re-
quirements. Wool poplins. wool crepes,
serges, jacquard effects, wool brocades,
eponge and soft crepes and silks are
the most suitable.
A costume of tan and brown plaid
had chamois collars and cuffs, the belt
was in one with the peplum which only
was at one side in the back. The bish
op sleeves were set III kimono fashion.
The skirt was slightly drapcd in front
with an inset of chamois which reached
to the knees.
Another dress of blue serge had a
wide sash Of black silk lined in gay
striped silk This was swathed around
the hips and tied in front The waist
opened over vest of the silk and was
very blousy in effect.
EVENING GOWNS.
Jet is used extensively on the even
ing gowns, Not one kind of beads, but
nearly all kinds are beaded on telle.
Tulle dresses with butterfly sashes in
round dancing lengths are especially
sought after by the younger contingent.
Words seem Inadequate to describe the
lovely materials. First and foremost are
the elaborate lace gowns which are

We have been entTanccd with the
Oriental and Bulgarian effects and now
we note a tendency toward the lovely
Pompadour styles. From what source
the modes of today are reproduced it is
difficult to say, as they reach us in such
a modified form so as to meet our west
ern needs Many Of the styles in vogue
suggest the costumes worn during the
reign Of Louis XVI-the Niuiche hats,
outstanding founce dresses, hchu, and
the floral decorations adorning the even

Louis XVI period.
The peasantry Of Europe will be high

The silhouette will remain about
the same as it is now. If it becomes
more exaggerated it will recall the pic

and thickness of these materials, they
are remarkably light in weight. Chin

novelty woolens, heavy pile fabrics, ye-

to hold full sway throughout the sea-

There is no suggestion Of tightness

neck or worn in soft roll. The fronts
arc usually rounded and the fullness

helps preserve the straight figure line in
most Of the outer garments.
Large pockets and belts are seen on
most of the models. The models seen
this season may be termed 'inspira-
tions of newness." Though dark col

vivid colors
