Washing Thin BIouses

Squeeze the blouses from the wash
ing water and empty the bath. Re-
place the blouses and stand the bath
under a running tap until all traces
of soapiness have disappeared. If
treated in this way blue rinsing wa
ter is not required, but in case of
scarcity of water a little liquid blue
should be added to the second rinsing
water to overcome the yellow tint
which the soap gives.
Prepare a bowl of starch. Mix a
tablespoonful of blue starch to n
smooth paste with little cold wa
ter Pour a pint of boiling water
gradually on the paste, stirring it all
the time until n thick, clear jelly
is formed. Stir in a teaspoonful of
gum water. made by covering a PEN
nyworth of gum arabic with a pint
of water, and pouring off the clear
part when the gum is dissolved and
settled.
Cover the bowl with a plate to
prevent a skin forming on top of
the starch, and when it is cool
enough to be borne by the hands
place the blouses in the starch.
Knead them well, so that the starch
penetrates all parts. Wiring them
from the starch and clap them.
Clapping is the secret of success in
clear starching. 1t is invariably done
by French laundTesses when they are
getting up fine muslins and laces.
The object is to prevent the starch
being cooked by the hot iron in UNI
slightly patches between the threads.
Take the blouses one by one and
lay each on clean kitchen table.
Clap the hands with a layer of mus
lin between and continue until every
part looks clear and new.
Hang the blouses out of doors to
dry, but take care that colored mus
Inns or those printed in color are
not exposed to sunshine.

Sweater With a Sash

The sweater with a sash is in line
with the frivolous fashions of the
summer, and puts the old-style
sweater quite in the shade. A new
sashed sweater noted the other day
was of deep blue silk and the sleeves
were set into the shoulders in raglan
style. A broad, soft sash, knitted
like the sweater, was passed around
the waist, very loosely, tying at the
back in a knot from which short,
fringed sashes dangled. Below the
sash the sweater rippled, tunicwisc
over the hips, though this tunic was
very short-no longer than an ordi-
nary sweater at the hip. In front
the sweater fastened with blue but
tons knitted like heavy crochet but
tons.

Skirts of Three Flounces


The f1ounced skirt appears in a
variety of guises, but the most popu-
lar one is that with three founces of
about foot deep. Sometimes these
flounces are put on straight. some
times to dip behind. sometimes to dip
in front, and sometimes to dip on the
left side; the prettiest models are
those which dip behind or at the
side.
The corsage also shows some sug-
gestion of flounce in draperies, and
such models are usually becoming
to tall. slender women. For exam
pie. taffeta, prunelle with darker
shade of chiffon for the bodice over
pale pink, showed a fichu vest of
creamy net, high collar of the same,
short sleeves with a fiounce of the
two chiffons, and at the waist pink
hortensia.

To Remove Fruit Stains

Fruit stains are now in order, and
two expert housekeepers have come
forward with suggested remedies not
generally known and yet labor saw
ing.
The first is pure glycerin. The stain
is to be moistened with it before the
article stained is sent to the laundry.
1t is claimed to be quite effectual, and
twenty cents worth of gycerin ought
to last year.
The other remedy is spirits of cam
phor, applied as soon as possible or
before the stain is wet with water or
sent to the laundry.

An Original Ring

The smart society woman is wear
ing new ring that is very original
1t is made Of thin circle of plati-
mum to which is attached tiny
chain of the same metal. At the epd
of this chain is fastened a pear
shaped jewel, a ruby cabochon, en-
erald or oval pearl.
At every movement the jewel
strays over the hand with a very
pretty effect 1t is quite probably
that this is only a passing caprice of
fashion, but for this very reason it
is considered the thing to adopt it
for the moment.

EARNING MONEY AT HOME

They are ready for sale at any time.
1t is a good idea to grind the leaves,
as they generally are sold In that
manner.
Sage although not used for many
things, is rather expensive. When
the housewife buys 1t she finds that
she gets only a small amount for b
or 10 cents.
1t gives quite large profit from
the fact that it yields SO abundantly
1t is necessary to keep the weeds
away from the plant to give It all the
chance of growth. The plant comes
up year after year, and all that is
necessary to protect it from the cold
is to put straw, around IL.
