Blue Serge and White Plush
Mn dear Mis- Doom:

My dear Miss Doom;
VIII you please let me know
what will take the shine off a blue
serge skirt, which has become very
shiny through wear?
Also, please let me know how to
clean a white plush hat, and win
the thanks of c. e. U.
Sponge the serge skirt with
flannel cloth which has been wrung
out in hot vinegar. Then press on
the wrong side, or on the right side
under a cloth.
1t will be necessary to remove the
plush from the hat, to clean it prop
erly. First brush until all dust is
removed, then sponge with benzine;
then rub brisl1ly with a dry cloth.
When the material has been thor
oughly cleaned it must be steamed
to raise the pile. To do this lay
very hot iron on it's side and cover
it with several thickneses of wet
cloth. Pass the back of the plush
over this, holding it close to the
cloth until the plush looks thick
and fluffy. Do not Use a brush I'M
less the pile is badly crushed.

supply of small rosettes with ends

A Use for Candle Ends

My cook was very much perturbed
when I started to throw away some
candle ends left from children's
party. She says:
do not throw away candle ends
which are no longer fit for burning,
but collect them all and put in o jar.
Stand 1t on the side of the stove till
melted, then mix little paraffin oil
until It becomes the thickness OF
cream Applied to oilcloths, etc, 1t
makes an excellent polish, being
bright but not dangerous and slippery
for children.
1.-THE ends of candles should be kept
to add to the starch on wash days. as
they will give II gloss.

Colored Floral Laces

Among the decidedly effective ideas
in colors are the net-top laces with
floral patterns painted in realistic
shades says the Dry Goods Econo-
mist. In some instances, the beauty
of the designs is greatly enhanced by
an outlining thread of silver or gold.
Only the daintiest flowers are repre-
scented in these painted effects, and
so delicate are the tints that their
appearance is dainty indeed The
painted floral idea also appears in
fine Chantillys.

PLANNING THE WINTER FUns.

PLANNING THE WINTER FUHS.
Saturday went up to New Haven
to see fotball game. Yale was play
ing the team of some upstate univer-
sity-sort of a practice game for the
big conflicts later on. My cousin.
Martin Dentworth. wrote and asked
me to bring three girls and chap
erone, that we could watch our
heroes on the gridiron during the al
ternoon, and later they would take
US to dinner at the Hotel Taft-in
case there we're no broken bones.
Alice and Suzanne were enthusiastic
about it, and Mrs. Ebbden, the chap
erone, offered to take us up from New
York in her motor car.
The day was clear and sunny, but
there was a stinging snap In the air
that made furs very comfortable.
You know you can really become mis-
erably cold on football bleachers.
Even the excitement of the game
doesn't quite make up for the remem-
brance of the blazing log fire in the
library at home. l noticed that most
of the smartly dressed girls at the
game carried their furs. 1t was in
teresting to look around and see the
new sets, for the neckpieces are cut
quite differently than those of last
year.
This time I'll just write my impress
sions of the separate fur sets, and
later jot down the new ways / have
seen fur cut up and used to trim
suits and gowns. In the first place the
neckpieces are very small compared
to those of last year. OF course you
will pay just as fancy a price for this
years set as you did for the wide,
extremely long stole which you wore
last year. For that reason, if you
have any fur of your own, this is the
time to have it made over.
The neckpieces in some cases mere
1y wrap closely about the throat
cross and end in furry heads or tails,
which hang over one shoulder. They
aren't the sort Of furs that one allows

Dyeing Old White Silks

White silk stockings. white silk
waists and ties will get yellow after
repeated washings, and the best thing
to do with them after they will no
longer pass for white is to dye them,

They take tan or yellow very well
and also pink or blue. OF course they
will dye better in the darker shades,
but with q little care they color nicely
in almost any color.

cUTTIm GUIDE S6oE
To Keep the Veil Tidy

Half the bother OF keeping the lace
or net face veil in its proper place
may be averted If the lower edge
of the mesh Is shirred into band of
black velvet long enough to go about
the throat and firmly fastened there
with a bar-pin or with invisible hooks
and eyes. There is then small chance
for the velvet band to slip out of
place and 1t prevents the lower edge
Of the mesh from getting torn and un-
tidy looking the instant any strain is
put upon it.--Exchange.

Something to Remember

A young woman who was making
some sofa cushions and comforts
found that the cotton filling that she
was using had become slightly damp.
This made it difficult to thrust the
needle through in tying the comfort.
so she placed the cotton in the oven
to dry and become slightly Drowned.
AS a result II became very light and
fluffy and held its tluffiness. Treated
this way 1t holds its residence, and
does not mat and pack down.-Ex-
