TWO Cities Join Hands to Work
for Benefit of Whole State.

Twenty-one members of the Illinois
committee of the Chicago Association
OF Commerce were royalty entertained
by members Of the Rock Island club
last evening.
The spirit of get-together prevailed
! during the entire feast, and songs and
speeches all tended TO make the occa-
( sion 4 rollicking event, Although the
best OF good-fellowship reigned, yet
! the object Of the visit OF the Chicago
men was not lost, and when the after
| dinner talks were over, the local men
accompanied the visitors to the bowl
| ing alleys, pool rooms and card rooms.
getting closer allied in bonds of a
common business interest.
The visitors were entirely pleased
with Rock Island and the entertain
ment planned for them. The members
of the Illinois committee indicated
that their feelings were the same as
Blaine S. Smith, chairman of the com
mittee, as they stormingly applauded
when he said:
"As we struck Rock Island there
came over US a feeling that We were
at home; a feeling that came over us
at no other point in cur tour. We
knew right away that we were among
friends and this large entertainment
entirely surpasses any accorded us at
any city that we have visited"
The visitors arrived here one-half
hour behind schedule time, drawing up
at the Harper house at $50 o'clock.
Their machines were taken to Totten's
garage and at o'clock they entered
the club and were introduced to var
ious members of the local organization |
by Captain Walter a. Rosenfield, pres
ident OF the club.
About ESQ o'clock dinner was serv-
cd in the cafe. Practically all seats
were taken and the turnout of local
members was entirely pleasing to
President Rosenfeld.
Mr.. Smith Of the visiting committee
proposed a toast TO Rock Island, the
Rock Island club and the citizens of
this city" and Mr. Rosenfield respond
ed with one to the Chicago delegation.
The Chicago bunch proved to be ex-
cellent songsters and between the
of the repast sang many num-
1ers, both humorous and sentimental.

At the conclusion of the dinner, Cap
ain Rosenfield, in a short address,
Ormally welcomed the visitors to the

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, December 1o.-At the
recent fashion fetc held here In
the interests of the American design
crs there was shown a smart walking
suit that won instant favor 1t was
designated a skating costume. but
there was so little, if any. difference
between it and what we all try to
achieve for the street that the name
became merely Il catchword.
1t was of red cloth, the new Variety
Of silk broadcloth that has some fancy
lanIc, and which is the only successful
smooth weave of the winter. Both the
skirt and the coat farcd Immensely,
and one was short while the other was
long. a feature of fashion that is
strongly pronounced
And there was plenty of fur every
where. which is another feature that
dominates the fashion world. 1t was
used for hens, for collars and for Guns.
IF the designer had thought of it or the
wearer had had more fur in her posses
sion she would probably have put IL
on the hips for pockets and down the
front for buttons. both these IDEAS
in ornamentation are frequently car
ried out on street suits intended Tor
cold weather.

PREPARING sARDINEs.

Household Suggestions.

Remove stains and grease from ia
blecloths and napkins as follows:
Machine oil-Clean with gasoline.
Wash with white soap and cold water.
Paint stains-Soak in turpentine I'M
til soft, then swab with alcohol.
Ice cream-Soak in clear cold water
for an hour.
Fruit stains-Soak fresh stains in
cold water half an hour, pour boiling
water through them. dry quickly. If
above fails use javelle water. Cover
spots with tomato juice and salt.
Leave in bright sunshine with u bright
tin plate underneath. Cover spots with
salt and vinegar. Leave two hours in
sun. Cut an apple in halves, lay stain
over cut surface: leave in sunshine,
This must be followed by thoroughly
washing in cold water to avoid apple
stain.
Acid discolorations-Use ammonia,
followed with alcohol and water dab
bed on lightly.
Wine stains-Wet with alcohol or
whisky: soak in cold water one hour
Pour boiling water through them. hold
ing cloth taut: dry before doing up.
Ink stains-Wet stains first with boil
ing water: dip in oxalic acid solution;
hoid stain in steam OF kettle for sew
erai minutes: wash thoroughly in clear
very hot water.
Grass s.ai.,s-Rub stains with molas-
ses, leaving on overnight: wash out in
warm water. Repeat it necessary.
Iron rust-Same for ink stains.

Mildew-Wet in boiling water. wiring
dry. dip in sour milk. lay in sun. cover

linen should be covered with sifted
starch and laid on grass in sun.
After removing any stains and spots
present in linen wash in warm suds-
Do not starch, but treat as follows:
Hang out very straight on line, With
warp threads across line. While still

right. Use only moderately hot iron.
Fold lengthwisc three times one week,
four times the next week. to prevent
wear on creases. Instead of folding any
further. roll the linen on heavy cylin-
drical cloth covered objects. q use a
discarded rolling pin that ] covered
with several layers of cheesecloth.)
The life of the tablecloths and nap
kins is much heightened by this treat
ment Table linen should be boiled only
occasionally.
For the benefit of those who might
prefer to make rather than buy the
javelle water and oxalic acid solution
I give directions for making them.
Javelle water-Half pound washing
soda dissolved in one pint boiling wa
ter, one-quarter pound chloride of lime
dissolved in one quart boiling water.
Mix soda and lime together. Let
settle, pour off clear into a bottle. Keep
bottle corked and in dark place.
This is Il very powerful bleach.
Therefore it should never be used on
any colored goods When used at all
it must be thoroughly washed out of
cloth.
Oxalic acid solution-Procure four
ounces of oXalic acid crystals at drug
store. put in a large bottle with one
half pint cold water shake until thor
