In a Bride Room
Dear Miss Doom

Dear Miss Doom:
Please be kind and tell me what
/ should have on dresser, chiffo-
nier and princess dresser for a
brides new home? Do you think
it would be nice to have cretonne-
lowered covers? FLORENCE.
The cretonne covers are used a
great deal, but 1 think there is
nothing so pretty as white. / like
the plain white linen covers with
hemstitched or sealloped edge and
the owners initial or monogram in
the centre-front. 1t would be easy
for you to make these. You can
buy the linen and stamp the seal
lops yourself at small expense, or
you can buy the hemstitched ones
ready made and work your mono-
gram on them.
The cretenne inside curtains are
pretty for bedrooms, and many
women like to have their dressed
and chiffonier covers and some
times their bedspreads, of the
same material. l do not like this
however. 1t always seems to me
as if so many lowered effects
crowd out the atmosphere. The
flowers seem to jump at you when
you open the door. A dainty. way
to arrange windows is to have the.
outside curtains of plain white net,
and the inside ones of satine in
solid, dainty color. Both sets may
be made at home at small expense.

Dorothy Dear frowned heavily as
Davie pounded on the door of
Mother Bears bedroom.
Let me in. What are you talk

his excited voice. II know what it

Dorothy flounced impatiently on
the window-seat, then slid from 1t
and ran to the door.

that you don't care about hearing

gentle lady. "Why should you lock
Davie out, daughter?"
Rather sulldly Dorothy turned the
key and Davie bounced in, his round
face glowing with excitement.
Il saw Frank Binks, mother, and
he was ever so glad to see me. He
gave me this. Davie pulled a red
and blue top with a long, strong
string, from his pocket. He
brought it to me from the country

Jewelry Oddities

Necklaces of every description,
usually about twenty-seven inches
long, are liked for their decorative
merit. Flexible necklaces of precious
Jewels. set in graduating sizes, are
likely to remain a permanent fashion
with those who crave simplicity with
intrinsic value. Poiret has inspired
the design of necklaces which GER
tainly will please the most ardent
admirer of the different. These
will give a quaint touch to the cos
tune and are made of colored COM
position with hand-painted charms.
Chains of filigree set with amber
or lapis- lazuli are suggestive or the
ANTIQUE. Clouded amber combined
with clear amber beads are among
the loveliest of necklaces.
Veil pins, which are really gold
hair pins, with jewelled tops, are GER
tainly a convenient contrivance, says
the Buffalo Sunday Times.
Bags are among the most impor-
tant accessories of dress. Exceeding
smart are the green gold mesh bags
in a narrow, long hexagon shape,
with the wrist strap of the same
finely woven mesh. Some of the
newest mesh bags are mounted on
bracelets and have watches fitted in
the frame. The party cases" are
shaped like miniature trunks and are
le dernier cri of Paris. These are
equipped with all the necessary
small articles in French gilt. There is
wide assortment of colors to chose
from, in either leather or striped
silk.
Another bag, which really is two
bags in one. is made cris-cross in pin
seal; one bag contains the change
purse, while the other holds the
mirror, powder puff and handker-
chief.

Questions and a Suggestion

My Dear Miss Doom:
VIII you please publish some
remedies other than hot milk and
camphorated oil for removing stains
caused by hot dishes on a highly
polished quartered oak dining
table? l have tried the above with
out success. Thought a silence pad
of quilted material would protect
the table, but 1t does not seem to
do so.
Will you also give me q sugges-
ton for removing spots from a
porcelain sink, which look like iron
rust spots? I use lime and soda
which keeps my sink beautiful
white. only for these small spots
A friend of mine spilled guam
tity of peach juice on a white apron
and it being the only clean one she
had, she thought drying it would
improve it, even though it set the
stain, as she had to wear 1t. She
took hot iron and pressed it. and
to her great surprise, as we'll as
delight, the stain disappeared al
most entirely.
As it's peach season and stains
are almost always unavoidable, this
method would be rather a good one
to remember. AS ever
AN ADMIRER.
Your peach stain remedy is very
welcome. Be sure to remember 1t,
am told that white stains may
be removed from a polished table
with kerosene, using great deal
of oil and much pressure.
This polish is also supposed to be
excellent:

Alcohol, one pint: ground resin,
one-half ounce; gum shellac. one
and one-half ounces. After the
resin and shellac are cut in the
alcohol, mix in linseed oil. one pint;
shake thoroughly. Apply with a soft
rag and polish with flannel or a
silk handkerchief.
Muriat1c acid will remove iron
rust from a marble or porcelain
bowl. If the bowl can be made hot
the stain will yield to the acid
more quickly than when the sur
face is cold. Fill the bowl or tub
with hot water and then empty 1t;
moisten the spot with the acid, pour
boiling water on 1t and 1t will dis
appear When all the stains have
been removed rinse with ammonia
and water; then rinse with cold
water.
Sometimes a stain which looks
like rust, but is not, will not yield
to this treatment, but will disap-
pear if rubbed with wood alcohol
