serviceable over pantry and store.
room windows which are kept oper
during the winter. In such eases the
cloth can be fastened on the outside
Of the window with thumb tacks
Shades should be provided for sunny
windows, and at least one window in
the kitchen should be equipped with
an adjustable shade, which can be
pulled over either the upper or lower
sash, or both.
In cold districts, loose windows
and cracks should be provided with
window strips or stuffed. and special
care should be given to thinking up
the cracks between the frame Of the
house and the foundations, 30 as to
keep out the cold. Double or storm
windows and storm porches are ad-
vantages in very cold climates.
For summer In northern states,
and for all-the-year use In warmer
regions Of the country, there should
be a screened porch opening off from
the kitchen on the side which Is not
exposed to the sun during the hottest
part OF the day. Much Of the kitchen
work may be done here and this will
add greatly to the comfort Of the
worker. Some prefer to have such a
porch open on to the garden, but
others find a screened porch with no
opening preferable, just because 1t
gives better protection against flies.
All windows should be screened to
keep out flies and other insects
which r disease carriers, and a
cause Of discomfort. Where frame
screens are not o~btainable, flies can
be kept out by lacking wire netting
Is meshes to the linear inch over
openings. The screen should cover
the entire window opening, SO as to
permit the opening of either sash.

a d a pt e d to general
wear. If something for
hard usage is wanted,
1t could be made Of
blue throughout or any
serviceable material

and the like, khaki
col0red galatea makes
a good selection. All
white with the collar
and cuffs of

The skirt is cut in four

This Is a very refreshing drink.
Take n quart OF cold water, one
cup Of sugar, three-quarters Of a
pound Of preserved ginger, chopped
fine. and boil together for 20 min
utes. AS 1t cools, mix in three table
spoonfuls Of the ginger strip, three
fourths Of a cup Of orange juice, and
half a cup Of lemon juice. Strain and
when quite cold add gradually one
quart Of apolinaris water. Serve In

IGHTING, ventilation and heating
are particularly important in the
kitchen. For ventilating pur-
poses, a window that goes to the top
Of the room, with a top sash that
can be readily raised and lowered, Is
especially good, as it let's out the hot
air which naturally rises. A window
pole can be provided for closing the
top sash. In lieu Of a window open
ing at the top, small windows for
ventilating purposes may be pro-
vided near the top, over the cup
board, table or sink. These will be
most convenient If they are hinged
and arranged SO that they can be
opened and closed by pulley and rope.
There al hardly be too many win
dows in a kitchen. Glass panels in
doors also allow light to penetrate
into dark places in closets or passage
ways. Where there is danger Of
breakage, wire glass should be used,
and where privacy Is desirable, frost
ed or similar glass can be selected.
In the Northern States during cold
weather the windows In the kitchen
should be provided with a board
which fits below the lower sash Of
the window, with the lower sash shut
upon 1t. This arrangement will ad-
NIT air between the two sashes with
out drafts. Very good ventilation
without great loss Of heat may be
obtained by the use of window
screens covered with cotton cloth.
These allow the outside air to enter

To Take Out Shine.

To Take Out Shine.
HAVE pressed many hundreds OF
suits, as it was my trade for 10
years. Not one was shiny when
it left my hands, writes a contributor
to the Tacoma Tribune. This is how
it is done by all high-class tailors:
Lay the article smoothly on the
ironing board. Place over it a piece
of goods that has not lint or fuzz on
it. Lay this on dry. Have a basin Of
water. Use a sponge or soft brush
with a handle. dip in water and rub
over the cloth. Now iron. II, upon
lifting the cloth, you find any shine,
put cloth on again, wet and iron
again, taking off the cloth this time
before it Is dry, and there will be no
shine.
Pressing too dry will leave the
shine, so be sure to take off the
cloth while still damp.
Never press wool goods of any kind
on the right side without the damp
cloth.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-12-03
Another Recipe.

Everyone has experienced the an
noyance Of having a suit wear smooth
and shiny In spots, but everyone does
not know how to restore the material
to it's original condition. The remedy
is simple: Sponge the spots with
strong indigo bluing water, then
press under a cloth while damp.

The Feet in Winter

Most people laugh at the slang ex-
preston, 'coId feet" but the latter are
no Joke II you have them. Anybody who
has been tired out at night and has been
further tormented by cold feet. which
effectually prevent sleep. will appreciate
a specialists advice on this matter,
HFirst of ALL" he says, "I warn you 10

Modes of the Hour

The dainty, frilly, fluffy things that all
women love appear constantly in new
and tempting variations of the old set
themes.
Each one of the little morning caps
made of ribbon and lace illustrated to-
day has an individual touch to give it
distinction, although they are all simple
in construction and models that could be
copied with ease at home.
There is very little excuse nowadays
for negligees that are not pretty and
artistic. Neither thing depends on the
cost. for the least expensive materials
show lovely colors and tones, and they
are as soft and pliable, in many instances,
as silk or satin.
Crepe de chine is perhaps the greatest
favorite, but it is wide and it will wear
almost indefinitely and tub much better
than many cotton fabrics
Crepe de chine boudoir caps, in the pale
peach color, are charming with a ruffle
Of lace and bow of ribbon to complete
them.
The kmono pattern furnishes the foun-
dation for the majority OF negligees. In
stead of the simple bands at sleeves and
neck, ruffies of lace or ribbon will give
variety-or box plated qulllings of the
material itself
Tho French bouquet offers a possibility
in the way of contrast of color or
simply as a decoration, and adds very
much to the attractiveness of boudoir
gown or kimono.
There is perfect tidal wave of petit
coats that threatens a burst of frou-frou
the like of which has not been seen in
some time.
matinee jacket and a petticoat to
match are pretty possessions and useful,
too. The jacket may be merely some
fanciful form of the kimono abbreviated
to waist or hip length. and the petticoat
can be as simple or as much beruffied or
befrilled as the inclination dictates.
For very inexpensive negligees there
is nothing more suitable at this time of
the year than outing flannel or fiannelette,
as 1t is sometimes called. 1t comes In
soft shades of pink and blue in the solid
colors, and there are printed iannelettes
of very artistic design.
tub silk lined with an inexpensive
flannel is another good choice for cold
weather. The Japanese way of running
up kimonos with coarse thread and rip
ping them apart each time they are
laundered has much to recommend II.
They are made by hand and very
quickly in the first place, and every
time they are put together again they !
seem like new.
The negligees that the shops offer are
rather expensive as a rule. 1t is difi-
cult to find pretty things made OF good |
materials at reasonable figure.
Unless one can alord to put a good |
deal Of money into the ready-made gar
ments. 1t is Detter to fashion them at /
home.
There are odd lengths of silk and rib
bon in the shops from time to time that
can be transformed into the most inti-
mate and delightful of house garments.
