"Well," said Mary Elizabeth, be-
ginning her story again. the prin-
cess Ermentrude lived in the big
stone castle on top of the mountain,
and lots of times she used to wish
she had some playmates. When she
would tell this wish to her gov
erness, who was dear old stout
lady, who always wore a cap, she
would shake her head and declare
that Ermentrude was getting too
old to think of playmates, and that
she ought to be thinking of mar
riage instead.
Marriage, indeed replied the
princess one day; TIM never, never
going to get married.
80, yes you WILL chuckled the
old nurse, closing one eye and lay
ing a finger beside her nose. Wait
till a handsome prince comes along;
then Wen See
But one never WILL mourned
the princess: nobody ever comes.
I'd like one to come, just to talk to
me and amuse me, but L wouldn't
marry him, so there!
Then the nurse told her that one
was coming that very day. He's
handsome prince, too she declared,
and if your father likes him you
will be married and go away with
him to his castle in a far country
=" I won't [ won'tn cried the prin-
cess. stamping her foot so hard that
her crown tumbled off and rolled
away. and the nurse had to run
and pick it up.
Now look at your new gold
crown she scolded. You ought TO
be made to wear your old one
every day
'Pooh I wouldn't care. I
wouldn't care if 1 didn't wear any,
replied the princess saucily. She
was greatly spoiled, You see. And
then she uttered a dreadful wish.
at hope, she said. that if the
prince comes today the robbers will
catch him and take him away
But she didn't really mean il.
She said it to tease her nurse"
Mary Elizabeth stopped to explain
as Helen's face filled with horror.
"She was pretty bad, though"
commented Dorothy, "but the peo-
pie in your stories always are. Mary
'Lizheth."
mo, they're not" cried Mary
Elizabeth, with proper indignation.
"but they're not like yours, Doro-
thy; that's sure. Your girls are
always good, and minding their
mothers, and never getting their
feet wet or spots on their clothes.
or anything. like mine better.
And now I'm all mixed up and ex-
cited, and can't remember where
was!" And she fiounced about on
the floor in pet, her dark eyes
swapping.

Spotted Blue Messaline

Dear Miss DOOM
Will you kindly tell me what will
remove ginger ale and salad dress
ing stains from blue messaline
dress? Thanking you in advance.
MRS. J. T. D.
| doubt if you'll be able to do
much with the dress, and would adj
wise you to take it to profess
sional cleaner.
Chloroform will probably remove
the salad dressing stain. Apply
with a soft cloth after clean blot
ter has been placed underneath the
spot
Boiling water might remove the
ginger ale stain, but it would be
sure to leave a water mark. I
think the entire dress will have tt
be cleaned to insure satisfaction.

You'll all be interested in the
steak Mansfield, which is given be-
low:
saving. 1.-THE late Richard Mans
field was a fine cook and some OF
his favorite recipes have been pre-
served by friends who were his
guests at times and very often
watched him preside over the char

Steak Mansfield
Cut a piece of suet about the size
Of an egg into small bits and put IL
in the chatting dish. Add the same
amount of butter. When this melts
and is hot, place in the dish fine
porterhouse steak about three inches
thick. 1t is better to have the
bone removed if serving for many
persons. Let the steak get hot on
both sides, and then cut the sur
face with a sharp knife. Turn the
steak about every five minutes and
haste with the juice, the same as
with chicken.
As it begins to cook add the fol-
lowing One-half of a green pepper;
the heart OF a piece of celery ana
bit of parsley; all OF Wmcn nave
been chopped fine. Also some
stuffed olives and some mushrooms,
cut in two. Sprinkle the steak
with paprika while cooking, ana
salt after taking out.
Mr. Mansfield used to rub the
dish with garlic before beginning
to cook the steak. About twenty
five minutes are required for the
process, but it is worth trying.

To Re-enamel a Bath

First of all. you must clean the bath
by washing It with hot water to re-
move all grease, loose paint and rust.
Then you must smooth II down with
pumice stone and cold water. Clean
away all remaining dirt and leave to
dry. Then get one pound of fiat paint.
Give the bath one coat and leave for
one day to dry, then give another coat
and leave another day to dry. When
dry. get a quarter of a pint OF enamel
and coat the bath and leave for two
days to dry. Then fill the bath for
a few hours with cold water. Run off
the water and leave for a few days
before using.-Exehange

An Idea for You

In many houses there are pictures
we'll faded and strongly framed,
which cannot be said to adorn the
walls upon which they hang. If you
have such a one with a wooden frame
substitute q pretty piece of chintz
for the picture under the glass, get
a pair of handles (brass) at the
hardware store and screw them on
both ends. Glue a piece of felt to fit
the back and you have a nice tray

fifty has pretty elbows. If the skin
is rough and the joint prominent, J
suggest that you first scrub the
elbow thoroughly with a compiexlolna
brush and pure soap. Use stiit
brush and plenty of hot water, and
follow this treatment daily.
Almond oil Treatment.
After vigorously scrubbing the joints
drv them carefully, and while the
surface is still warm and the pores
open apply heated almond oil. To do
mis- properly place a few drops in the
palm and rub it over the elbow until
il is absorbed Repeat this until the
skin will absorb no more.

Once More the Stove Polish
Subject

Subject
Dear Miss Doom:
Some time ago you mentioned
that If you cleaned a stove with
kerosene until all the blackening is
removed an excellent polish can be
obtained by an application of raw
linseed oil. l followed the instruc-
tons, and the results are anything
but satisfactory. Kindly advise the
cause and oblige. Yours cordially,
MRS. D. II. S.
Are you sure you followed diree-
tons carefully, Mrs. ID. II. s.? Per-
haps you did not remove all of the
polish before applying the oil. For
your benefit / will republish Maude
C.'s original communication and
some of the letters which followed
it.
Dear Miss Doom:
My plumber told me yesterday
that when the stove is cold to satu-
rate it we'll with kerosene for a few
days, then scrape off all the old
blackening. He said it would take
a little time and perseverance to
get all the old blackening off.
When 1t is all off, rub the stove
we'll with raw linseed oil, and rub
II every morning, and in time the
stove Will be like a mirror. No
other backing is needed, and pots
and pans will not smut. This, too,
takes time, but he said it will pay
for the work in the end. l am going
to try 1t this summer when / do not
use my kitchen range.
The oil may be rubbed on the
stove when the stove is warm.

Dear Miss Doom:
Regarding the letters about using
linseed oil on the stove, / can truth
fully say I have used it with ex-.
cellent results on both my range and

for several weeks before applying
the linseed oil.

Dear Miss Doom:
| enjoy your column. If Mrs. w
V. has not already found a remedy
for her stove, this will help her:
Let her cut an onion in two and
leave 1t in the top of the stove to
soften. Apply it to the red part.
/ am sure any stove polish will adj
here to it. Vinegar is also good.
| find equal parts of boiled oil
and turpentine the best to rub on
metal for a shine. 1t is very good
for the stovepipe. After a couple of
applications 1t need not be done
again for a long time.
Stove backing wet with coffee
will last longer over the fire part
as oil burns off quickly if the stove
gets hot.
A good shine can be made with
stove backing by wetting it with
turpentine, but do not apply it while
the stove is hot. MRS. S. T. c.

A Phantom Party
Dear Margery Doom

Dear Margery Doom:
A club of girls wants to hold
masquerade party in a private hail.
Do you think it would be all right
TO give a phantom party, or is that
kind of a party just for Halloween?
We thought the costumes would be
easy to arrange and that the boJs
would be sure to wear them, too.
1t is so hard to get them to mask
Some are nice about 1t, but mos
of them won't mask because they
say they feel too foolish. We will
appreciate your help very much.
SIX GIRLS.
p. S.-Would you mind telling us
a little bit about such a party, II
YOU can spare the space?
Let the guests wear sheets, by
all means. This kind of a frolic is
a favorite for Halloween, because
il is so ''spooky," but one may be
INDUCED in at any time. There are
several ways of making the cos
tunes One way is to drape
sheet about one under the arms, 30
form skirt, tying it securely
Then take another sheet and put
it over the head, so that the cen
tire is Just at the top of the head.
Hold out the arms and catch the
sheet loosely together with safety
pins to form sleeves. Then cut two
small Sits for the eyes and one for
the nose. The Sits may be sewed +.
I'D afterwards. You'll get the idea
when you begin to arrange the cos-
tune. 1t is not at all difficult.
