Dear Mrs. Thompson: Can Won
give me a home method for cleans.
ing feathers and down?
HOUSEKEEPER.
I presume you mean feathers and
down for pillows. etc. Select a windy
day for washing them. Put the
feathers into white bag and tie up
one end securely. Make a suds
warm, not hot, of a good white
soap and add some ammonia. 5ouse
your bag of feathers in this until
you feel sure they are clean. Rinse
in clear water containing a little
ammonia, then again in clear cold
water. Squeeze out water, then hang
bag in the wind, in shady place. TO
dry. Shake the bag every little
while vigorously.

THE SOFT COLORS, RUFFLES AND FRILLS
OF GRANDMOTHER DAY ARE.

new summer frocks is the wonderfully
harmonious blending of colors; the
old-fashioned, faded-looking shades are
being revived and also the figured ma
terials. with creamy backgrounds and
quantity designed figures. in somewhat
darker shades. Ruffies are another of
the pleasing REVEALS: they appear on
the small girls frock and on that of
her older sister. and are equally charm
ing for both.
A pleasing dress for summer after
Moons is shown in No. S295; Il is a
young girls frock with bodice and
tunic OF cream-colored embroidered
batiste over foundation skirt of plain
white wolfe. A raglan shoulder is
shown. n V-shaped opening at the
throat and a three-piece skirt. Batiste
is priced according TO the embroidery;
a very good quality may be purchased
for 75 cents a yard. Voilo averages

Mary's visit they should avoid all mod

Some of the women complained that
! It hardly was consistent with deep re
2 spect for royalty to wear ones old
clothes but the idea of conservative
dress was carried out generally.
Some of the great dressmakers OF
Paris, at the Queens command,
brought their models to the foreign Of

/ The queen selected several costumes.
The COMMANDERS were warned before

creators hastily prepared special de-
signs which were shown to her maJes-
ty as absolutely the newest things,
which. indeed they we're, since no one
else had seen them before. The queen
is understood to have been well pleas
ed with the good taste and discretion
shown.
King George was much moved on
several occasions during the visit
here by the extraordinary enthusiasm

the Place de la Concorde was very evil
dent. His toast to Paris as city
which his father had loved was an ex-
preston which pleased every one.
The visit appears to have fulfilled
every political expectation. The close
understanding between the English
and French governments which had
s-t4 tn1 eli W. c
arranged in 1904 had become a little
vague and misunderstood by the
French public. Doubts had arisen as
to whether England was really in
earnest in her friendship for France.

Vienna. May 16.-The refusal OF
landlords in Vienna to rent flats 10 per
sons with children has become such
an obstacle TO families of the working
classes that they are suffering real
hardship in their quest for suitable
living quarters. The condition of af-
fairs has been presented to the city
council and proposal made to lower
the taxes on houses whose owners
would permit children to live in them.
While this particular motion was
shclved it is not improbable that
something may be dois in this direc-
ton. Since taxes on house property
in Vienna amount 10 more than ~ per

ton would be extremely welcome
