The Empty Sack

Its hard for an empty sack to
stand upright" quotes Ben Franklin
in Poor Richards Almanac
Which means that 1t is hard for
person with no money to have self
respect
We like to talk of approaching peo-
pie for their character alone, without
regard to their riches, and of poor
man being just as worthy of esteem
as wealthy man; but for all that
there is something in a bank account
that stiffens up the backbone and
lifts up the chin more than any tonic
in the drug store.
Did you ever walk the streets with
out the price of a sandwich and a
cup of coffee in your pocket? If you
never have, you, don't know what
that gone feeling" is. If anybody
would lay a hand on your shoulder
you would just crumple up; YOU
would understand that remark about
the empty sack.
Did you ever apply for a job, know
ing that If you failed to get it you
would starve And then have you
ever sought employment with the
consciousness that. even if you did
not secure 1t, you had money enough
laid up to keep you for few
months?
Don't say it out loud, but there is
something about money that sends a
good feeling right into the bones

" lite felt hat and a white kid belt that
are soiled. VIII you tell me how to
clean them Also, how can | wash a
white serge skirt? STAR READER.
Only Phoebe wouldn't have soiled
hers.
To clean the hat put some borax in
q piece of cheesecloth and rub the hat
we'll. Brush off with a clean brush
and apply more, if necessary. The
hat should be placed on a clean cloth
While the cleaning is being done.
White cornmeal, applied with a fan
mel, IS also effective.
Let the white KID belt soak for a
few moments in gasoline, rubbing the
soiled places between the palms of the
hands. Rinse in clean fluid and hang
in the air, but not in the sun, to dry.
Do not use gasoline near a fire. 1t is
highly inflammable.
Wash the skirt in warm water and
white soap. Make a good suds, but
do not rub soap directly on the goods.
Rub between the hands, not on the
dashboard. A little ammonia should
be added to the water. Wiring and
rinse in water of the same tempera-
ture, slightly blued. Hang in the air
but not in the sun, as the rays will
yellow the material. Iron, while
slightly damp, on the wrong side.

The Separate Coat

One sees more and more of these
worn by well-dressed women, and no
doubt one cause of their popularity is
the fact that, when well chosen, they
do duty with several dresses and
skirts.

smart; for such will look equally well
over the summary wolfe, or crepon
dress and the skirt of cloth or fine

To Remove Stain from Hands

Much .soiled hands should not be
cleaned roughly with brush and soda
water, but first one should loosen the
dirt by rubbing the hands well with
sweet oil, or even lard or dripping.
Then wipe off the grease as much as
possible with piece of soft paper
or old rag, and wash the hands with
warm water and soap.
They will soon be clean when
treated thus, and without damaging

A Simple Gift

Difficult indeed is it to find a gift
for a man that he will really appre-
ciate, especially if there is but a
dollar or so to spend. 1t may be
help to some puzzled woman to
know that of all the gifts one man
has received from a fond family he
seems to have got the most pleasure
and entertainment out of a magnify
ing glass. 1t is a pocket glass that
folds up into leather case, and the
man draws it forth on many occa-
sions-to examine a stone or flower
or leaf on his cross country tramps,
to scrutinize an unusual coin, to read
small print, to see better a puzzling
turn on a road map and also he
says, to decipher an illegible sigma
work.

Dear Margery Doom:
/ am constant reader of your
good advice, and would like you to
tell me how to do up stuffed olives
and where l can buy them to do up,
/ have often wondered about them.
Thanking you in advance,
MRS. s.
Yours is a request out of the ordi-
nary. Olives are grown in the Caro-
linas, Florida and California, in this
country, my encyclopedia tells me.
Those you buy for the table are pre-
pared as follows:
The fruit is picked while green,
soaked for a few hours in an aka
line I've, washed well in clean water,
and then placed in jars or bottles
filled with brine. Sometimes spices
are used to enhance the flavor
Sometimes, before bottling the pit
of the olive is removed and bit of
pimento or celery is inserted
You'll find it more practical to buy
olives ready for use than to attempt
to prepare your own, 1 think.

Why not line them with thin black

underneath. If you like, you. could
use a thin colored silk lining for the
yoke and sleeves, but l do not think
1t would look as well as black Your
