TROUBLESOME GIFTS.

WEDDING gifts are sometimes as trou-
w blesome to their recipients as they
are to their senders. Which is too bad,
for as long as they must be troublesome
to the senders it is too bad there should
be trouble in the receiving of them. But
one bride once received seven percolators.
each from some one she felt sure would
be offended if she tried to change the
gift. Yet these percolators were all the
the part of the senders.
To begin with, choose the gift you are
sending to a bride with some understand
ing of her taste and life. In the next
place, IL you send her something that
may be duplicated. send her also note
begging her to change it If she desires
to. Tell her you have no sentiment in
the matter-whatever she chooses will
please you.
If the bride is going to move to a dis
tance send her something, II possible,
that will pack and travel easily. II she
is to marry q poor man don't send her a
piece of priceless bric-a-brac that will be
a burden In a house as simply run as
hers will be. If you know that she and
| her husband never eat pie, don't send
them a silver pie knife These are only
typical bits Of advice that may be spe-
cfalized in the imagination to suit the
choosing of almost every gift
Electric devices of various sorts are
acceptable to most brides. Odd pieces of
| old silver or brass or copper can always
| be accommodated. Some personal gifts
| to the bride. in the form of jewelry, a
really beautiful handbag or umbrella. or
a pair OF slipper buckles, is always in
good taste. Books, too. II you know they
are books that the two recipients like,
are a good choice.
Pictures are not good. for it is very
difficult to choose pictures for somebody
else's house. Furniture. too, must be
chosen carefully. with a full knowledge
Of the brides house and taste.

SPRING FASHIONS.

TULLE neck ruches are used with good
effect to carry out many of the sea-
sons fashions Some of them are inte-
grail parts of the frocks with which they
are worn. Many of them follow the style
of a Pierrette's ruche.
1t is not often that womankind Is
blessed with such an abundance of dainty
neckwear at one time. The fichu, ruches
and frills about the neck. wide fiat lace
collars of lace or net, the new stihened
organdy and lawn collars that flare about
the face, the outstanding Japanese col
lar-all these are shown on the best mod,
els. All of them, too. are graceful and
attractive. and well calculated to tempt
women to indulge in them.
The idea Of trimming the backs OF our
frocks is developed to the fullest today.
There have been seasons when we felt
more or less like paper dolls-as II We
must keep our fronts turned to those
on whom we wanted to make a good i'm
preston. Not SO this season. Some OF
the new evening frocks show the outline
of the decolletage in the back. bordered
with huge artificial roses. The bustle,
of course, is distinctly back trimming.
Some of the shops are selling colored
handkerchiefs in sets. The idea 1t seems.

A teaspoonful of glycerin added to a
gill of thick glue makes a cement handy
to have in the kitchen, as> it will fasten
leather, paper and wood to metal.
When the clothes wringer does not turn
easily, do not oil the gear wheels, but
take a wire, dig out as much of the oily
substance as YOU can and then put chips
of laundry soap among the cogs- Turn
the wrnger several times to work the
soap into the cogs and you will be sur
prised TO find how easily 1t turns.
To clean brass articles, dampen a lit
tie salt with vinegar. and take a soft
cloth and rub it on the article to be
cleaned and it will brighten beautifully.
To keep a fiatiron smooth. before iron
ing rub it with piece of pumiee stone
and wipe off with a cloth moistened with
kerosene. To clean wire screens. dampen
cotton cloth with kerosene and rub
both sides. 1t will also keep flies away
When a disinfectant must be hurriedly
prepared, burn piece of gum camphor
on a plate. sprinkle coffee or cinnamon
over 1t and you will get good results.
To fill salt and pepper boxes or Ink
bottles, make funnel out of a corner
of an envelope by cutting OFF the tip OF
one corner and inserting 1t into the re-
provised funnel Is also useful in orna-
menting cakes with icing when fancy fig
ures or birthday or anniversary dates
are wanted. A few grains Of rice in the
salt cellar will keep the salt from cak-
ing, as they will keep the salt moving
when shaken
Rub your bread and meat board and
kitchen table with a cut lemon, then
rinse thoroughly in cold water. and their
surfaces will be unusually white. Here
is something better than a lemon squeezer
Cut a lemon in halves without rolling:
Take teaspoon. stick it into the open
lemon and turn like an auger, pressing
the back of the spoon against the 2eeiing
of the lemon. In this way you can ex-
tract every drop of the juice. If you
have some hard, dry lemons, do not
throw them away.
Instead, put them in a pan of hot
water. set it where the water will main
tain about the same degree Of heat with
out boiling and let them soak for two
hours. When taken out and dried lemons
subjected to this treatment will be as
soft, juicy and rich in flavor as if they
had never grown hard. They may even
be grated for the oily condition of the

WOMEN AND SENSIBLE SHOES

take a heavier boot with kid tops. These,
too, she was informed, had French heels.
She then asked to see pair OF dull kid
boots, but these, too, the salesman said,
had high French heels
1t finally transpired that there were no
Cuban heels in the store.
French heels are fashionable" said
the clerk, 80 we have only French heels.
Moreover. from my years of experience
in the shoe business l can assure you
that French heels are more comfortable
to walk in
The young woman, from a few hours
of experience stumbling over the country
roads in French heels, drew a conclusion
that did not agree with that of the sales
man.
Later in the season." said the man.
I'VE may have some sporting boots
some sneakers, perhaps-with very flat
heels

But that was not what the young wom-
an sought. She wanted a good-looking,
moderately high heel that. withal. had
sufficient base to make it steady.
What would you do If my grandmother
came here for shoes?" she queried.
why, we sell shoes like this to old
ladies'" said the clerk. politely. and he
showed her a dainty shoe with a two
and-a-half-inch heel that curved uder
the foot SO that it was about as big as
a silver quarter at the base.
Now, why do you women wear SHOES
that are not sensfble7
If you are like the woman In question
you probably end by taking the only
thing you can get-and thank the clerk
for that You cannot go bootless just
because French heels are the fashion.
Evening star., 1914-04-19
4tWHY don't you women wear sen
w sible shoes?'

That is the favorite question
most men ask some woman several times
a year.
They meet an intimate friend, perhaps.
walking in patent leather, French-heeled
pumps in the shopping district and help
her hobbe difficulty across rough pave
ment. Then they ask the question.
Perhaps they telephone their wife to
meet them for dinner and the theater.
After the theater it is raining, and as
they gaze at their feet, shod again in
high-heeled shoes that make walking on
the slippery pavements dangerous. they
ask the question again.
Or perhaps they suggest q walk into
the country with some feminine COM
panion She appears clad for the walk
and wearing again shoes with high. in
curving heels. The question outs again.
Men cannot be blamed for putting this
question. Women, however. can hardly
be blamed for causing the question.
They could give truthful answer II
they said: 1--WE wear these shoes because
we cannot get any Others
Not long ago woman asked sales
man in the shoe department Of q big
store for a pair of cloth-top patent
leather high boots with Cuban heels.
I'VE have no such boots with Cuban
heels" answered the clerk. "They all
have French heels"

Labor-Saving Hints.

@2EASY dishes and frying pans can
+ be more easily cleaned, and will
save pipes from being clogged with
grease If they are rubbed off with paper
before washing. The paper can be burned
at once or saved for kindling.
If wood ashes and water are put into
a kettle In which anything has been
burned, and left to soak for an hour or
two. the kettle will be perfectly clean
when washed. For removing smoke and
Crime from the outside of teakettles and
cooking utensils try kerosene and bath
brick Borax moistened with ammonia
will remove brown stains from enameled
or granite ware.
Clean burned pie from pie tins by plac-
Lard and bath brick will remove dust
from tinware.
Keep a bottle Of lye solution to put on
grease spots before scrubbing them from
a bare floor, and they will soon disappear.
This will also cut old paint which you
wish to remove. Use a paint brush for
the purpose. as 1t must not get near the
hands.
Borax soap can be made from small
pieces of any kind of soap boiled down
with a little pure borax until it becomes
a jelly-like substance. It is good for re-
moving spots on floors, carpets, painted
surfaces, silver. sinks and many other
things.
A bottle Of ammonia is almost equal to
another pair of hands, 1t helps so with
the work. When washing f1annels, a
little added to the suds brings the dirt
right out. and greasy clothes are easily
cleaned with it. 1t is a great help when
cleaning paint, windows or glassware.
The suds to which you have added am
monia are very good for plants II poured
about their roots, but do not use for
sprinkling the leaves.
Rust can readily be removed from steel
knives by allowing the blades to lie in
