THE MOTOR GUEST.

There are some lucky women who
are always being asked out for a spin
in somebody's car. Owning no automo-
bile of their own, and possessing no
relatives owning cars which they may
occasionally annex, they lack not in de-
lightful drives-long trips across coun-
try, with luncheon en- route: short
Jaunts after dinner and trips back and
forth from the country club; and they
are regarded enviously by the less
fortunate souls who sit forlornly on
hotel verandas and watch them roll
blithely away.
Tact, jollity and light t-hearted adapt
ableness are the attributes which make
the often invited motor guest. Motor
ing is a joyous affair. and the woman
who knows how to make herself an
adaptable and pleasant companion Is
the one who has most frequent oppor-
tunities to ride In other peoples cars.
We ought to ask that lonely Miss
Smith to go with us sometime. sug-
gests kind-hearted little woman to
sitting on the veranda evening after
evening. watching us start out.
"Oh. well-if you wtsh." admits hus-
band grudgingly. But she'll sush
about the beauties Of the country all
the way and I'll have to stop ninety
particularly ravishing views"
The woman who desires to be an ort-
Invited motor guest must learn TO en-
thuse Just enough and not too much;
to talk just enough, but not to bore
her host or hostess with long tales of
personal worries or experiences. She
must not ask to have the car stopped
to adjust her veil, or to gather some
perfectly irresistible wild flowers. She
must be prompt to the minute when the
motor painting at the door.
She should not distract the drivers
attention-if she sits beside him-by
continually calling his attention to In
will she seek to engage him in CONVEX
sation that requires special concentra-
tion or attention.
She will add now and then to the
pleasure of the drive by producing a
box Of chocolates or package of
daintily put up sandwiches, and, If a
stop is made for luncheon or dinner, she
will insist upon Standing" for the tip
to the maid when the ladies retire to
a dressing room to freshen up before
the meal. She will also remember that
an invitation to drive in motor car
Is hospitality that must be returned
In some way or other-not necessarily
an expensive way, but a way that will
show her appreciation of the favor con-
ferred.
The motor guest should also be pro-
vided with the proper garb for motor
ing and not rely on her hostess for
coat, hat or veil. An ordinary sport
coat and small hat that will stay on in
the wind and a long veil of becoming
color will form part of her wardrobe,
and If the day is bleak or cold she will
slip on sweater under the sport coat.
for 1t is not conducive to the enjoy
ment Of host and hostess to have with
them a blue-lipped. shivering guest,
whose obviously chilled condition makes
1t necessary to shorten the drive.

child to lie in this for three or four min-

When a child is restless and feverish

Sponge the entire body. When the child

On Wash Day.

A tablespoonful of turpentine boiled
with white clothes will greatly aid in
the whitening process. A tablespoonful
of borax put in the last water in which
clothes are rinsed will also whiten
them surprisingly. Pound the borax
so that 1t will dissolve easily.
This is especially good to remove the
yellow which time gives to white gar
ments that have been laid aside for
two or three years.
When colored muslin has become
faded and it is desired to bleach it
white. chloride Of lime put in the boil
ing water in the proportion Of one
tablespoonful Of lime to one quart OF
water will effect the result.
Badly stained handkerchiefs can be
