asked her what was the matter she
said that a great enemy of Queen
Olinde lived around here and she was
afraid they might be attacked. All

Grease on a Brown Skirt

Dear Miss Doom:
Please tell me how to remove
some grease spots from a tango
brown wooden skirt l used gaso-
line with a blotter but made the
stains worse besides fading the ma
terial around the spot. | do not
want to spend the money to send
It to cleaner, SO will thank you
in advance for any information you
may give. MRS. p. F.
o dear, o dear. Why didn't you
write to me before you began to
experiment?
Chloroform used with blotter
would have removed the grease
spots like magic. I am doubtful as
to its efficacy now. but think ii
worth while to try it. Place a
clean blotter underneath the spots,
then rub quickly with the fluid,
using Il soft cloth for the purpose.
After the chlOroform has evapo-
rated. try this:
Wet the spot again with gasoline,
then sprinkle thickly with fuller's
earth. 1t is said that this will
quickly soak up the gasoline and
remove the ring.
Sponging with weak ammonia
water will help to restore the color.
| trust that you will meet with
success.

A Visit TO Fairyland
Continued from yesterday

She waved her wand and a. beauti-
full carriage decorated with bluebells
appeared. 1t was drawn by four large
blue butterflies They stepped into
it and the butterflies at once rose and
flew upwards In the distance they
could see the palace and by and by
they drew up at the gate. The pal
ace was made of gold, silver and
crystal. There were beautiful gar
dens full of lovely fruits and flowers.
Many fountains danced and twinkled
in the sunlight. AS they neared the
gates two little fairy sprites came
forward to conduct them before the
Queen. AS they went on Matte was
filled with delight at the wonderful
things she saw. Everywhere there
were bright, smiling faces. By and
by they entered the palace and Mat

ooh, how beautiful" she exclaimed
Everywhere was the loveliest and
daintiest furniture that ever was
seen. Beautiful paintings adorned the
golden walls. One painting she was

was a golden crown, set with nrecious
stones: in her hand she held a golden
sceptre. Her clothes We're of price,

precious stones, and in 1t sat Queen
Olinde.

appeared into a small store.
Jack Thorne was captain of the
Rockaways, a good, steady team.
White had broken even on the sea
sons games. When it was known
that Alex Brown had picked new
team to oppose Jacks every boy III
the neighborhood was keen on seeing
the game, for Jack was a favorite.
On Saturday large crowd was out
to view the game between the Rock
Always and the Naples. The captains
tossed, and Jack won. He took the
field, and the game was on. Harry
Reason, the Rockaways' star, was
pitching. 1t looked like hard game,
and probably pitchers battle, for

Reason was pitching splendidly. jack
son, the Naples catcher, singled TO
left. He stole second on the first ball
pitched. Then a fielder's error put
him on third and the batter on first.
The next batter was Brown, and,
although a good pitcher, he was a
poor batter. Jackson had to do some
tall thinking to make any effort TO
score. Brown was the fastest mem
Der of his team, and many time mad
scored on an intield tap. The f1elders
knew this, so when he hit one OF the
pitchers curves to shortstop this per-
son did not throw to first, but pegged
home to catch a flying runner, but ne

honor of scoring the first run for the
Naples, and probably the last one OF
| the contest.
Rockaway came to bat. 1t was
| their only chance, if appearances
counted. They had the game won:
The first man was Reason. He started
the crowd cheering by doubling to
centre. The next two men were easy
outs, and then the game was left on
| the shoulders of the next batter, and
| that was Jack Thorne. On the firss
| ball pitched Jack stepped forward
and swung. The people heard loud
smack and saw a small white speck
! floating over the left field fence for
| home run.
| The crowd cheered themselves
hoarse The players grabbed jack
hoisted him shoulder kigs, aPd car

did not smile, even when the little
breeze seized a curl and sent it
dancing across her cheek. Instead,

And in a moment she repeated,

to pictures of most gloomy future;
a future in which she went to

alone silent and unhappy, with
everybody saying: Just see that
poor little Brown girl. Her best
friend, Dorothy Dear. is just crazy
about that new girl. the one with
the red hair and poor Mary Liz
beth's all alone"
This picture gave Mary Elizabeth
a mournful satisfaction. She could
see herself growing paler and thin

with Dorothy quite overcome by
grief and everybody saying to her,
ITS too late now, and it's all your

Baked Rhubarb

Pare off the green leaves without
waste and trim the edges of the
" hite ends. Cut the stalks into
one-inch lengths without removing
the skin. Wash and arrange in an
earthenware baking dish. Allow
about half q cupful of sugar to each
two cupfuls of prepared fruit.
Cover closely and put it in a mod
crate oven. When the rhubarb is
cooked just tender, remove it from
the oven and put it where it will
chill.
When ready to serve transfer it
very carefully to a crystal dessert
dish and cover with cupful of
thick. sweet cream, whipped very
stiff then sweetened a little and
favored with a teaspoonful of Va
nilla extract.

Marrying on $l8 a Week
Dear Miss Doom

lear MISS doom.
Would you kindly let me know il
a couple could live on SIS week.
and about how much money man
must have before he can marry.
That is, to furnish a comfortable
home.
Also kindly let me know how
can go to Trenton by car and how
long it takes.
BY so doing you will greatly
oblige, NJ. r.
A couple may marry and live very
comfortably on SIS per week if they
are made of the right sort of stuff,
and determine from the beginning to
have one bank account and CO.
operate in every way. $17 per month
will pay for nice four-room fiat
which would require not more than
a ton of coal per month to heat
Then you will have to consider the
table, gas and clothes, AND the
bank. Save a wee bit. even if it is
but a dollar or two a month.
Furnishing a flat may be done
reasonably. Good-looking furniture
may be purchased for moderate
prices. Avoid gingerbread" Gel
plain things that will stand wear
and tear. 1t is better to have two
good, substantial, comfortable chairs
that look honey" than cheap
parlor suite that doesn't look Ike
anything" as declared a misguided
woman who bought one.
Follow this idea all through the
house If the prospective bride can
sew she will be able to make cush-
ions and pretty window curtains for
almost nothing.
l would advise you to consult fur
niture catalogues and inspect not
one store. but many, so that you'll
have a definite idea as to what you
want.
