A White Silk Waist
Dear Miss Doom

Dear Miss Doom:
viii you please tell me how to
wash a white silk waist SO that 1t
will not turn yellow?
MRS. G. r.
The secret lies in not using hot
water. Wash the waist with luke
warm water and white soap lather.
Do not rub the soap directly on the
waist Rub the soiled parts thor
oughly. Rinse in water of the same
temperature, to which a few drops
of bluing have been added. Hang
in the air but not in the sun, to
dry. Do not wiring the waist.
Squeeze the surplus water out be-
fore hanging on the line.

BRACELETS OF VELVET ARE
THE FAD OF THE MOMENT

II has now become fashionable in
Paris to wear a broad bracelet OF
black velvet on the left arm
1t fits the wrist snugly and is held
in place by large monogram OF smali
diamonds bedded in platinum.
Everywhere one sees this one orna-
ment worn on the arm with an eve
ming costume. 1t is far more con-
spicuous than a ieweled bracelet and
xerves to cover the ugliest part OF Q
zvoruan's arm, which is the bone at
the wrist.

What the Fashion Books Say

Milliners are combining the follow
ing colors: Brown and purple, blue
and green, amber, bordeaux red and
olive green.
The present hair ornaments are
very gorgeous.
A delightful effect is the band of
gold tissue drawn tight about the
hair.
To it are festooned strings of gold
beads looped up irrcgulariy with
small enamel ornaments in peacock
colorings.
A long peacock feather is fastened
directly in the front
The four-cornered sailor of black
velvet. with puffballs of black os-
trich fronds poised on three corners
is the latest innovation.
The effect of two lace fiounces fall
ing softly and edged with lace and
finished at the waist with crushed
glrelle of satin is graceful, stylish and
economical.

FOR THE GIRL WITH THE
MODERATE INCOME

Good dressing does not necessarily
mean extravagant dressing.
The incompleteness of the average
wardrobe is appalling, not in quantity
but in appropriateness.
If one has black tailored suit, or
one in some solid color. the skirt of
which is beyond repair, buy Scotch
plaid material in the dark rich tones
for the skirt being careful to select
the predoninating tone the shade of
the coat, unless the coat is black.
In this way nodish suit for gen.
eral wear is made possible at the
price OF skirt.

This Weather and Chapped
Hands


Dear Margery Doom:
am much troubled with my
hands. About this time every year
the skin gets hard and finally
cracks. | am a girl who desires to
have soft hands. They also perspire
freely and this prevents me from
doing fancy work. Can you aid me?
/ thank you in advance. Your I'M
known friend, MARIE u.
our grandmothers kept their hands
soft and white with the aid of NUT
ton tallow, which was tried out"
made into little cakes and rubbed
well into the hands at night. Over
the hands were worn old kid gloves.
A skin that is inclined to be dry
needs oil. White vaseline is excel
lent for hands that chap easily.
Glycerine and rose water, to which
a few drops of carbolic acid (your
druggist will prepare it, have been
added, make an excellent lotion.
There are many good preparations
on the market, but I'm sorry to say
that I cannot give names of pro-
prietary articles in this column. A
few drops of toilet vinegar in the
water in which you wash your hanos
will help the condition.
The following is also a good
lotion:
Boric acid, so grains.
Bcrax, 100 grains.
Salicylic acid, loo grains.
Glycerine, 2 ounces.
Rub on the hands four or f1ye
times a day. Wash the hands IN
warm water before applying, and
dry carefully. Shake the mixture
we'll before using.
Almond meal rubbed into the
hands is said to be excellent for ex-
cessive perspiration.

HI X. asks for a little informa-
ton about caviar. how one may

methods of serving.
Trust this will interest all of you
readers, dear.
AS is well known, caviar is pre-
nared from the roe of the sturgeon.
The species used for genuine Rus
sian caviar inhabit the Caspian ana
Black seas. Astrakhan is the prin-
cipal place where it is prepared ana
400. 600 pounds of 1t have been put
up in the Caspian fishery 'in one
year
when a housewife purchases her
first can of this delicacy she is apt
to turn her nose skyward, clamp
the lid on quickly and return the
article to the dealer, with a note to
the effect that it is bad
And small wonder The nlackness
alone is startling. This, combined
with the peculiar odor, eonvinces
the novice that her caviar is
tainted.
Needless to say, her suspicious
are groundless, and she will not
be long in discovering that taste
for caviar is like a taste for olives
lit grows.
On purchasing a can of caviar
open it and turn the contents out
of the tin onto a saucer, leaving 1t
exposed to the air for several hours
before using This will improve the
flavor.
