standing like a statue.
Finally they reached the street
where the bank was situated. The
man gave a peculiar whistle, upon
which three Unlocking men appeared.
After talking little in low tone,
two went to the rear of the bank,
while the leader and one of his men
remained in front.
Victor had been a silent spectator
to all of this. and upon seeing the
four men divide he decided to call his
band together. Accordingly he began
to whistle a tune. Then he paused.
He thought he heard a step Turning
around he saw the leader of the rob-
bers (for he had aseertained that they
were there for no good purpose) come
towards him and stretch forth his
hand to catch Victor by the neck,

How can I clean q burnt wood

other pieces? did the burning Ave

have been keeping house, 1t has be-
come dirty from dust. although I'm
not bad housekeeper.
Do you know II can get colored
sugar. such as pink, green, yellow
and violet? Sometime ago I saw q
cake made of these colers. and was
told 1t was made by adding eolored
sugar to cake mixture. I saw the
sugar. but do not know where to
get II.
Thank you for any good news.
May become a member of your
home page? promise TO do all
can TO help 1t grow. ean send
many of my own recipes and ways
of serving II you wish them.
NJ. l.. B.
If the burnt wood Is Vanished 1t
may be cleaned with gasoline or
turpentine. Polish with turpentinee
and crude oil, equal parts, or equal
parts of alcohol, olive oil and Vine
gar. White spots may be removed
with very little alcohol, or by
holding a hot iron over the spot.
This may injure the varnish slight
ly. If the wood Is not vanished
wash it with warm water and white
soap.
Colored sugar may be purchased
in any large confectionery store and
IN some grocery stores.
Welcome to the column, and
thanks in advance for the recipes.

"Eieanor stayed awake long,

declared Dorothy, pronouneing the
big word slowly and saying 1t again
because she liked the sound OF IL.
-ges-tion, and she frowned
ard made queer faces, and pretty
soon began to talk, SO that her sis
ter Gertrude walked UP.
Dear me- said Gertrude, Flea
ner's going TO walk in her sleep
again And she sat up In bed, very
much provoked.
eWhyqe asked Davie,
"scause when Eleanor walked in
her sleep Gertrude had to follow her
and keep her from getting killed, o.
COURSE answered Dorothy imPa-
tiently,
aEleanor talked louder and loud
er. but Gertrude couldn't under
stand what she said cause her
words were all--all mixed up IN q
tumble" Dorothy explained; "but
she did hear something about pie
and the pantry and eating up the
crumbs. So she knew that Eleanor
had been in the pantry again. and
nearly cried to think she had such
a wicked sister.
az wouldn't take pie from the
pantry If 1 was starving said Ger
trude to herself, Wasn't she good

@mother'd rather have me take ii
than starve, guess"
Dorothy looked at him severely.
1T wouldn't be right if mother
didn't tell you to, would it, Sides.
If you were starving she'd give you
break and milk, not pie
Tell some more about Eleanor"
said Davie, who didn't know quite
how to answer this.
Dorothy smiled, and went on.
'tPrett soon Gertrude's eyes almost
popped from her head. Eleanor
WAS getting up. Her5eyes were wide
open and staring straight ahead.
She stuck one foot on the floor and
then the other, and then she stood
very still.
"'Oh, OH What shall do new,'
cried Gertrude softly. You see, she
was afraid to give Eleanor a little
shake cause if you wake them up
too suddenly they get scared to
death and maybe even go crazy"
Dorothy nodded her head at Bavie

Pleatings Revived

You will be glad to note, that ma
chine pIaitings are being worn; that
is to say. acoordion.plaited, fat-plait-
ed and box-plaited tunics, hounoes,
trimmings OF one sort or another, are
found upon the newest gowns and
there Is not, q reader who VIII neeo 10
be reminded that TUNES of the sort
are of real economical value quite as
well as being graceful and becoming.
Unfortunately, late summer Is apt
toe often, to see costumes slightly
worn or somewhat passe. II Is very
simple matter to arrange some sucn
tunio or fiounce over a plain skirt
and TO make draped blouse to match.

To Clean Spanish Leather

Dear Miss Doom
Will you kindly tell me how to
clean Spanish leather chairs? They
are dull and dusty looking. and I
do not want to touch them until
hear from you. H0UsEKEEPER.
Some time ago a reader asked a
similar question, which was an
swered by another reader. Here is
his letter;
Dear Miss Doom:
would like TO help you in your
replies in regard to cleaning leather
furniture, I very often see requests
IN your column for a formula in re-
gard to Spanish leather. 1t is not
TO be polished, as it is what is
known In the leather trade as dull
finish"
To clean 1t, dust carefully and use
either chauaois or eheesecloth, so as
not to scratch the surface of the
leather. Dissolve one teaspoonfuI
of powdered albumen in quart of
hot water and when cool apply
with sponge. Wiring sponge dry
afterward and wipe again. but do
not polish.
For ordinary leather use the same
process, but use gelatine, which can
be bought at any paint store | am
an expert leather finisher and hope
this will be of help to you.

Her Mother S Ring
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
Perhaps you may be able to give
me q little advice on the following:
Ny sister died suddenly, having
made no will She repeatedly asked
me to see that her only child "a lit
tie CRIB got her diamond ring, to-
gether with another valuable ring
given to her by me before her mar
rage.
The husband refuses 10 give them
up and has given them to q woman
of low character. He claims the
diamond ring, which was my sis
ter's engagement ring, is his be-
cause he gave it to her. Have
any legal claim on behalf of the lit
tile girl? Thanking you,
AUNTIE.

girls father can be compelled to
sell whatever property his wife left
and to give the little girl two
thirds of the residue. / would ad-
wise you to have lawyer taka the

They come, however, trimmed with
lace. IL so desired. Since shields. il

Lace or nainsook camisoies come

BRUSHING UP THE SUMMER HAT

suited to your own personal lines
and to the shape of your hat,
There are numberless ways of using
the quilts, and the best thing TO do is
to study all the hats you see until
you discover what combination you
like best. e5N
At first glance, the trimming on
most of the hats seems to be put on
In the most haphazard fashion, but
when you yourself get to the task
you will discover that this is the
effect only, and that your hat will not
be a success unless you are sure of
your plan MISUNDERSTANDING.

Velvet neckbands-in black, of
