a little afraid that Henry would
carry out his threat.
'I guess he's honest and truly

Ele admired Henry above all people,
next to his father, and he was never
quite happy when they were on bad

Henry continued to rake with
vigor, carefully keeping his back

What are you going to do now?'
Davie Dear poked his inquisitivS
little nose in the stable doorway
inside of which Henry, the handy
man, was reaching for a wooden
rake.
Henry paused, arms In the air,
to look over his shoulder.
Nov, Master Davie, you run
along. I amt got no time to be
botherin' with you today. l got
work to do"
He reached for the rake, secured
1t, placed it over his shoulder and
walked through the door.
Davie followed him across the
lawn.

he declared.

Henry, shifting the big rake to the

announced, showing his hands in his
pockets, I'm going to rake, too"
Henry ignored the remark He
began to rake around the rose
bushes at the side of the house.
Davie watched him for a mo-
ment.
I'm going to rake, too" he re-
peated.
Henry carefully raked the leaves
from under the lilac bushes.
Don't you hear me?" asked
Davie.
YES" said Henry with a scowl,

An Embroidered Centrepiece

Dear Miss Doom:
| have embroidered a large white
linen centrepiece and have cotton
cluny for the edge. I'm writing for
your advice. Would you wash it
before putting the lace on? If the
lace should be shrunk please tell me
the process. Should the lace be put
on perfectly plain? 1 enjoy reading
your column. MRS. M. G.
Here are two ways to shrink lace:
Take lace and roll up tightly;
pin so it will not unroll, then put
into cup or glass of hot water
until about one-third of the lace is
covered by the water.
The edge which is to be sewed on
the centrepiece should be put in the
water over night, then dried, and,
If possible, should be soaked a sec
ond time and dried. 1t will then be
ready to sew on, and / hope it will
be as much of success as mine
was.
In measuring the lace allow for
necessary fullness by laying it
around the article so that the outer
edge is perfectly fiat, with half an
inch for joining. The next step is
to shrink the lace to do away with
the necessity of gathering.
To do this roll up the lace as

Guard Against Frost

Even now you can SAVE some of
your late autumn flowers from the
frost. When frost is predicted or
when your own weather lore makes
it apparent to you that frost is COM
ing, sally into your garden at dusk
to see what you can do, says an ex-
change.
IL the night Is crisp, clear and
quiet, frost Is more likely to come
than if 1t is moist and dull, though
equally cold. Sometimes a spraying
hose will ward off frost. but easier
to arrange for are newspaper or can
vas coverings fastened loosely about
the flowers you want to save.

Bran for Cleaning

Few people seem to know the value
of dry bran for cleaning purposes.
You may keep wool suit or coat in
the best condition for a long time by
simply rubbing down with dry bran.
Rub the spots harder than the rest,
then brush it all off, saving the cost
of sending to a cleaner.

Autumn Place Cards

Pretty autumn place cards are

Sometimes two colored leaves are
entwined, and they are so cut that
some of their points can be slipped
over the rims of the glass. to hold
them there in place.

scalloped edge. This done, wet
thoroughly the wound portion of the
lace and let it dry. Take off the
string and you will find the lace is
shrunk so that the edge that is to

1t Is now simple matter to sew
the curved edge to the linen.

Bleaching a White Silk Gown

Dear Margery Doom:
Please tell me how to bleach
which silk dress, which has become
yellow, and oblige ANNA l..
The gown should be boiled In
soapsuds, to which a good amount
of bran has been added, and then
hung up in the sun to dry. A more
efficacious way of bleaching the silk
and one which is sure to meet with
success is to expose the gown to the
fumes of sulphur.

And will you please tell me how

Clean the hat with warm bran.
Sprinkle freely and rub the hat
with a moderately stiff brush,
against the nap. Then shake out,
sprinkle on more warm bran and
rub with the nap. Hot (but not
scorched) flour Is also good.
Liver spots are brown discolora-
lions that appear upon the skin,
caused by some arrangement of the
internal organs. A good physician
should be consulted.
