Dirt Spots on Green Messalint
VI y Dear Miss Doom

My Dear Miss Doom
VIII you please advise me how to
clean dirt spots from a dress made
of material like the enclosed sam
ple2 Thanking you.
IDA r. r..
There are many kinds of dirt"
Grease stains usually sueeumb to
chloroform. Place a clean blotter
underneath the spots, then sponge
with the fluid, using a soft cloth for
the purpose. Remove the blotter
when it becomes soiled, and use a
fresh piece. If the dress is gener-
ally soiled from wear | would sug-
sest bathing 1t in gasoline. Let it
soak in pail of the fluid for about
fifteen minutes, then rub the soiled
parts gently between the palms of
the hands. Rinse in clean gasoline
and hang in the air to dry.
If you use care and do not rum
pie the dress in any way it will
come out of the bath looking won
derfully fresh.
1t would be better to give the
entire dress a bath than to try to
remove individual spots with gaso-
line, as this method leaves I'M
slightly rings unless the cleaner
thoroughly understands her work.

Why is it that so-ealled jaunty
hat is always one with an eX-
tremely high crown or else
trimmed high? 1t seems that
many hats that are plain are
jaunty, but fashion does not
choose to call them so.
The small hat with low trim
ming is very often termed as
chic" and when one chooses n
hat for general wear be sure that
| the choice is a plain one.
There are many reasons why the
| business girl should take great
care when purchasing hat for
/ general wear
The first and main factor is the
economic one. An oddly shaped
hat can not be worn the second
season no matter how II is
trimmed; the second is that
business girl makes a far better
impression dressed plainly, and
the third is taken from point OF
view in which comfort is most
concerned. have you ever worn a
/ new styled hat or an extremely
| high crowned hat for a few weeks
and not had a dreadful tired feel
/ ing when you take it off?
The spring seasons offering of
plain hats is large and the styles
vary a neat hat is shown in one
of the department stores, made of
black MORE around the brim, and

There was once a lazy man driving
his horse through some thick mire.
His wheels soon stuck fast in the
mud. He beat his horse. but the
horse could not pull the heavy load
out of the mire. He called to Her
cules for help. Hercules came to
him. Hercules said. did you not try
to help YOURSELF" The man said
nothing. Then Hercules said again,
Heaven helps those who help them
selves"

these stains, and greatly oblige,

ever, l think the following method

Wet the stains and rub in all of
the dry cream of tartar they will
hold. Then run boiling water
through them from kettle hello
high enough to permit the stream
to strike with force. Then apply
more cream of tartar and lay the
waist in the sun. Repeat as often as
necessary.

A sailor suit is almost indis-
pensable in the young girls ward
robe; it is so comfortable and well
suited to school wear. Blue serge
is the usual material, although
there is no reason why another
color should not be used or another
material. For summer, white serge
or flannel is appropriate, of course
the collar, cuffs and tunic being out
lined with a colored mohair braid.
For a girl Of sixteen this dress re
quires 5ss yards of 42-inch material.
The new figured voiles and crepes
are being much used for blouse pur-
poses, not in white alone, but in
soft tints of yellow, pink, green or
blue. There is usually a touch Of
black or other sharply contrasting
dark color to give character; for in
stance. a pale yellow blouse has
tiny collar Of black net or a
pendant Of jet.

pie crust, but I think if she tries

tablespoon of lard is hardly enough,
l always take tablespoons of lard,
a pinch of salt and level teaspoon
of baking powder.
Perhaps she mixes her dough too
much. You know too much han
ding has a tendency to make pie
crust heavy. l hope this will help
her. MRS. c. D.

That you made an hour ago.

After the toll of the day.
And 1t smoothes the burrows plowed
by care, y
The lines on the forehead you once
called fair,
In the years that have flown
away.

Or Il love you, my DEAR each

But it sends thrill through the

For love Is tender, and love is
blind

We starve each other for loves

We take, but we do not give;

But we dole the love grudgingly,

Till tits bitter and hard to live.
