Way to Wash Bedding

T1E following is the best way to
wash blankets: Slice half cake of
any good laundry soap in two quarts
of water. Set on the stove and stir un-
til dissolved When dissolved, add to
cold water in tub. To this soapy water
add four tablespoonfuls of powdered
borax. Soak the blankets in this over
night or for several hours. Wash in
this water. Rinse twice in cold water,
wiring and hang on the line. This recipe
will wash four blankets Be sure and
use only cold water, and they will come
forth as soft and beautifuiAs when new.
A teaspoonful of glycerine added to the
rinse water will improve them.
Very heavy blankets may sometimes
be cleaned by hanging them on the line
and turning the hose on them, spraying
them all over Stretch them full length,
and fasten heavy weight at each hang
ing corner to prevent the wind from
swaying and wrapping them into roll
upon the line. The weights hold them
in shape, and when spread out in this
manner they dry quickly.
Cotton blankets are washed differ
emily from those made of wool. Soap
them well with laundry soap, fold, and
allow them to soak in tepid water. Wash
them in an hour or so and place in a
boiler Of hot suds to steam, not boil
Rinse in several waters Use very
little bluing and dry them double on
the line. Press dry on the wrong side
Quilts that are liable to fade il
washed, may be cleaned with gasoline
Allow it to remain over night. Drain
and place in a second tub Of gasoline
Strain the gasoline in the first tub and
use it, with fresh supply for cleaning
the second piece. When washing col
ored quilts avoid using alkali. 1t will
run the coors and ruin the material
If quilts are badly soiled, put kerosene
in the first tub. 1t will cut the dirt.
Bedding washed early in the spring
may be dried out of doors, but the
pieces should afterward be thrown ovel
line hung in room, to dry thoroughly
Ticking should be soaked in water con
tanning borax. Iron the pieces dry. Il
thin, coat lightly with paraffin on the
wrong side This will prevent feathers
from working through.

HOUSEHOLD KINTs.

Nstiff breeze will be as light and
fluffy as when new.
Save cold tea left after supper and
use in place of water on your house

If your rugs curl at the edges they
may be made to lie flat by dampening

Clothing that is supported at the
shoulders and unconfined at the waist
line is perhaps the best for little chill
dren. This petticoat is very charming
in simple dainty way and Is closed
by means of buttons and button holes
at the shoulders, the back portion being
cut to form straps. On the figure it
is made of batiste with scalloped edges
and there is a great tendency toward
a finish of that sort. Scallops wear
well and are very pretty, while hand
work gives certain sense Of refine
|ment not to be found in any other
trimming. Children IS frocks must be
straight and narrow as well as their
elders and the simple finish is desir-
able, but wherever needed the frill can
be added. There are only two portions
to the petticoat, and, consequently, only
under-arm seams. In the back view the
neck and armhole edges are finished
with under facings and narrow frills.
For the 4-year size the petticoat will
require 1b yds. of material 80, 1-3 yd.
A in. wide with l 3-4 yds embroidery
8 in. wide for the ruffle, IA yds. Of
insertion, "a yds of edging.
The pattern Of the petticoat S215 is
cut in sizes from tn years Ask

rHE various kinds of cereals require
different lengths of time for cook

rHE various kinds of cereals require
different lengths of time for cook
ing. Wheat preparations should be
cooked at least two hours; ost meal is
not thoroughly cooked short of five
hours. If cereal is purchased in pack
age, it is advisable to double the length
of time for cooking specified in the di-
rectons. A general rule for combining
the Ingredients in cooking cereal por-
duets is as follows: Allow one tea
spoonful of salt to each quart of water.
Bring the water to boil in the upper
part of the double boiler and slowly
stir in the cereal After the mixture
has boiled up, place the vessel over hot
water in the lower part Of the boiler
and cook the required length of time,
without stirring. Enough water should
be used in cooking the cereal to swell
the grains to the maximum size; but
guard against the Cruel consistency, as
the cereal will then slip down in all
probability without thorough mastica-
tion. Fruits served with cereals provide
delicious variations. Rice cooked with
raisins, steamed rice with figs as a gar
nish and dates with oatmeal are whole
some and dainty breakfast dishes.

frill
nIRLS who are planning summer
IA frocks will be sure to like this
skirt It is the very newest to
have appeared and is in every way
charming for summer fabrics. Since it
can be made with single or double
puffed tunic it~can be utilized for diff
ferent purposes and for different ma
terials and can be varied in many ways.
This is silk season and any one of
the summer silks will be charming made
with the double puff and frill but the
model also is pretty one for cotton
crepe and all materials of such sort. For
a dancing frock, smart and attractive
effect can be obtained by omitting the
lower puff and substituting a flounce
of lace. White taffeta made in this
way with bodice of lace makes really
ideal dress for summer functions, There
is only one piece in the skirt but it is
joined to a yoke beneath the tunic and
the upper edge of the puff is attached
to this yoke at whatever point the fin
ish is made.
For the 16 year size, the skirt will
require S 3-4 yds. Of material q, 4 yds.
SO, 8 yds A in. wide.
The pattern 1927 is cut in sizes for
16 and IS years.

TOUR OF THIS COUNTRY
PLANNED BY GARRANZA.
Expects to Spend Five Months in

Mexican chieftain.
EAGER FOR PRIVATE LIFE

csrranza intends to visit the United
States In January, and make i've
months tour Of the country, according
to an announcement made here yesterday
by Richard H. Cole, a friend Of the
Mexican chieftain. who has Just arrived
in washington from Mexico City.
"Carranza is eager to retire to private
life," said Mr.. Cole. He Is worn out
and only a sense of duty keeps him en-
gagged In directing the constitutionalist
cause.
"He has promised 10 visit me in Los
Angeles in January and make fye
months tour Of the United States He
warmly admires the United States and
her institutions and every reform he con-
templates In Mexico Is fashioned atter
an American model.
Americans have often taken his pa
triotic Mexican stand as being inimical
to this country This is false and un-
fair. He has the highest respect for
President Wilson. and the warmest feel
ing of friendship toward the whole na-
ton. Americans will have friend with
him as the head OF the Mexican govern
ment"
Peace conferences between representa-
tives OF Villa and Carranza have already
begun at AguascalIentes, according to
advices received at the State Depart
ment. These conferences, 1t is under
stood. are preliminary TO the main as
sembly OF both sides, which Is to take
place Saturday. Gen. Villa is reported
to be on his way TO Aguascalientes, ac-
companied by George c. Carothers, the
representative OF the State Department.

NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT

The campaign proposed by The Herald
to attract tourists to Washington who
are unable to crafty their desire to travel
I'm Europe on account OF the war was
heartily Endorsed yesterday by Mrs. John
B. Henderson.
Hearty approval and promises Of Co
operation also came from men Of promi-
nence in the general affairs Of the
Capital
Mrs. Henderson invites the proposed
committee, representing all the trade
bodies In Washington and the four local
newspapers, to a conference which she
volunteers to arrange at Henderson Cas-
tie, Sixteenth street and Florida avenue,
at any time that may be agreed upon by
the committee.
Time to CoHsider Subject.
Mrs. Henderson said:
IF It Is desirable to induce success
full people OF prominence and means to
become residents Of our Capital-people
who can add to its Identification In the
way Of fine improvements, to our COM
merciaI interests in q general way. and
who can help to pay our taxes,-it is
now a most propitous time to consider
the subject seriously. Much as we dis
like to say It, very few new ones Of
that kind have materialized in Washing
ton these last few years.
ut is quite time that we do q little
catering to the rich, In interest OF all. II
we care to have American money spent
in our own, rather than in foreign cap
itals.
TN the way OF social advantages, I
will say that thirty years ago our town
was small enough to warrant frequent
evening receptions, and the taking Of an
agreeable friend or two was welcomed
The town is now too large for that, and
social functions have resolved themselves
principally into dinners-reciprocity af-
fairs-with little room for the transient
or newcomer.
There are also no public places out
side for general gatherings. At other
capitals one goes to q park teahouse and
amid charming surroundings and music
one finds oneself in the midst OF the gay
world. It is an inducement for fine equip
pages and fine gowns, interesting to see,
whether or not so bedecked oneself.
