Washing Tan
Striped Lawn
and White

Dear Margery Doom:
Will you kindly tell me how to
wash a tan and white striped lawn
SO that the tan stripes will not
fade, and win the thanks of
JENNIE G.
Soak the gown in a strong salt
water solution, and add a table
spoonful of salt to the rinsing
water.
The great point in washing sum-
mer materials is to avoid strong
soaps and hot water.
Use very little borax in the
first water to loosen the dirt In
badly soiled garments.
Rinse thoroughly and hang the
dress wrong side out to dry, In
the shade.
Nearly all summer materials have
a better appearance if ironed be-
fore they are quite dry.
The older method of first drying
and then sprinkling is apt to cause
a spotted appearance with some
goods.

Diary Of a Well-Dressed Girl
2-The Problem of a Bag

A pretty navy blue moire bag had
an open-work monogram, which hung
from a ring at one side of the clasp
Shirred taffeta ribbon was applied at
the bottom of a heavy black faille
bag as its only trimming. The taf-
feta was laid in the shape of a star,
and the points extended up on the
sides of the bag. A long silk tassel
hung from the centre of the star at
the base of the bag.
I wanted a novelty bag for early
fall, as l had planned to buy leath-
er bag for the winter months One
bag seemed very odd, for at the top
of the clasp which held the gray
faille silk a tiny marcasite monkey
sat UP very straight, as if pertly ex-
amining the faces of shoppers on the
street.
Then there was lovely brocade
bag covered in bead embroidery The
latter seemed a little more suitable
for opera glasses, so / chose a black
moire bag which held two full ruffles
of hair-lined silk over the main bag.
The clasp was of German silver and
the strings of black taffeta The bag
was smart and F'renchy in appear
ance. and resembled those foreign
novelties my girl friends bring from
abroad. 1 am sure 1t Is bag which
will not be copied among the cheaper
lines of goods.
Marie bought a beautiful evening
bag of pale blue brocade crepe de
chine. The design stood out because
it was outlined in steel beads. She
could hardly decide between a solid
bead bag in dark blue and purpewith
the bold design in white beads, and

CaterpilIars in Her House

Dear Miss Doom:
Have just come back from my
vacation and fad that my house is
literally full of caterpillars. Any
information as to how I can get
rid Of them will greatly oblige.
MRS. K. w.
Yours Is rather a novel complaint.
l think carbolic solution will exter-
inmate the caterpillars. Dissolve
four ounces of carbolic acid crystals
and pour into bottle containing a
pint of cold water. To each gallon
Of cleaning water add two table,
spoonfuls of this liquid. The water
should reach all cracks and crevices.
1t would be a good idea to lightly
sponge rugs and carpets with the
mixture. The odor will soon pass
away.
Caution-Be sure to keep the car
bolic solution in q high place, out
of the reach of children.
Pennyroyal, either the fresh or the
oil, Is said to drive away insects.
If the oil is used, pour some In a
saucer and soak in 1t pieces of cot
ton batting. Place these In draw
ers, boxes, corners of the rooms,

Warm Water for the Face

Battle your face with warm water.
Use soft cloth and plenty of good
soap-the kind that is best suited to
your own particular skin. Some skins
are irritated by the purest CASTLE;
others are benefited by 1t. Find the
soap that you can use and stick TO IT,
Rinse the soap off with clear, hot
water and then rinse again with cold
water.
The warm water and soap will open
and cleanse the pores, the hot water
will stimulate the circulation, and the
cold water will strengthen the skin.

Sugar a Rejuvenator

The belief is gaining ground in
many quarters that If you wish to
stave off old age and to have the feel
ing of perennial youth and vigor, no
matter what your actual years may
be, you cannot do better than eat
plenty of sugar.
One of the pioneers of this theory is
Professor Metchnikoff, who has made
exhaustive experiments to prove his
statements.
There are some who even assert
that not only does the frequent eat
ing of sugar keep one from growing
old, but that If a man or woman Will
begin the sugar treatment, even after
seniity has set in, the effect will be SO
great as to amount to complete
change In his or her character.

New Neck Ruffs

Some new neck ruffs are made of
Brussels net, instead of tulle. These
ruffs are made Just like those of tulle.
The net is left with raw, cut edge
and it Is gathered or box pleated and
held through the center with band
of velvet or taffeta or satin, that
sometimes ends In a bow, sometimes
under an artificial rose, says an ex-

more durable than tulle. which al
ways loses its freshness and collapses
almost to nothing in moist and rainy
