YEsTL RDAY'S RESUITs.

HOUSE,
WIVES
DAILY
ECONOMY


Few housekeepers. probably, know
washed. Many women send all laun-
dry work out of the house to be done
and many others employ a laundress
the necessary number of days a
week to do the laundry works-and the
house mistress does not even put her
head into the laundry to See how the
work progresses.
This may be all very wcIl-it is
very well when the laundress is con-
scientious and an expert. But when
she uses alkaline washing powders to
save her strength. when she soaks the
baby's faunels so tHat they shrink
into dolls clothes, when she boiIs
sheets and table linen to a saffron
yellow hue. when she tears lingerie
in taking it down from the line and
when she places the bath towels and
the table linen in the same tub, then
it is real negligence on the part Of
the housewife not to take an active
interest in the laundry work And
when the laundry is done out of the
house. even if the laundress is IN ex-
pert, the housewives responsibility
does not end until she knows that the
clothes are washed and dried and
ironed in sanitary. clean surround
ings.
Here are some Of the points that
every housewife. even if she knows to
a certainty that she will never have
to wash even so much as i handker-
chief, ought to know.
Soak clothes in warm water TO
which ammonia has been added-three
or four tablcspoonfuls to tubful of
water. If your water supply is clear
the clothes can be soaked over night.
IF your water is a little muddy soak
them only an hour or two. Rub soap
on the soiled parts.
Soak only white clothes. Never soak
anything colored and never soak fam
nels
Wash fannels in soapy water. Make
thick suds, and do not rub the cake
of soap directly on the nannels The
water should he warm. not hot. Then
rinse them, when they are perfectly
clean, in clear water of the same tenn
perature. Wiring them in the hands.
Never rub fiannels on a board and
never put them through wringing
machine. Dry quickly in the shade.
Put colored wash frocks in a strong
solution of salt and water or of tur-
pentine before they are washed for
the first time. Leave them there for
an hour or so. This keeps them from
fading and from running
Wash all white clothes and linens
thoroughly. rinse. and then put them
in a boiler. Cover with cold water, and
bring TO the boiling point. Don't let
them boil for more than five or ten
minutes. as prolonged boiling makes
them yellow. Rinse them in clear. hot
water.
In windy weather put handKerchiefs.
lace blouses and any other very fine
articles in a bag to dry. as the wind
beating them against the clothes line
otherwise might tear them.
Starch the clothes after they have
been rinsed and put through a blueing
water. There should be 4 little blueing
in the starch. Starch the articles that
need the most stiffness first

clothes is concerned. All of the houses
that opened as usual last month showed
military models. all used colors suggest
ed by the uniforms of the soldiers. To
them the war will be A constant source
of fashion inspiration until it is over.
Although We have grown tired of the
war, it is quite probable that we shall
remain loyal to the shades of tan, khaki,
sand, or whatever We call them that
came into fashion last winter. Their
coming then was most inopportune and
they are really springtime colors.
One reason, very likely. why these
rather neutral shades are still fashion
able is because we know better now
how to use them than We did when they
were first brought back into fashion.
We know that khaki color alone is not
usually becoming. and we know just
what to do to make il becoming.
one thing Is to wear a hat of brilliant
color-of cerise straw. or blue satin.
Another is to have the suit made with
coat lining of blue green, or black and
white stripes This lining shows in the
sleeves and in the collar and 1t gives
tone to the whole suit
Some of the new covert or gabardine
suits in khaki, too. are made with but
tons Of color or with black satin collar
and cuffs. and this touch of contrast
gives definiteness to the whole suit.
1t is rather interesting, in view of the
resurrection of the tan shades and COW
ert cloth. that the first fabric to be era
venetted. years ago, was not covert. but
sabardine. Most persons. believe, think
it was covert cloth. but it was really the
fine, twilled cloth that has been giving
such excellent wear to all of us for the
last couple of seasons

What Of Hospitality?

Is hospitality, as that term was under

Are the women Of the present losins
the gentle art Of hospitality?
To entertain a stranger in ones own
homo was in former days considered the
highest compliment that could be paid
him. Every woman took pride in her
harder and in the possession OF recipes
that had been handed down for gener-
atoms. Nowadays the woman In the
same possession limits her knswledse OF

women used to pride themselves on
their culinary knowledge. They enjoyed
discovering new sauces and new dishes
and were proud when they were credited
with being good housekeepers. But it
cannot be denied that the young woman
of today 10 taking less and less interest
In these things. The woman OF today
would rather know how to order good
dinner at a restaurant or club than to be
able to direct the preparation of one in
her own home.
It has been suggested that with this
decrease in hospitality We are going back
TO the old-fashioned shut-up drawing
room-the drawing-room that used to be
opened only on occasions Of funerals or
weddings in the family. 1t is fact that
the drawing-rooms in many large houses
in Washington are rarely used from year
to year. The owners of these homes pre-
fer to do their entertaining in the clubs
or restaurants.
Undoubtedly a great deal OF bother is
avoided by this arrangement. This win
ter several of the debutante receptions
we're given in a favorite restaurant Or
club, and there were advantages from
the point Of view of the mothers of the
debutantes in this method of procedure.

that old-time custom OF entertaining the

Different Sort of Store for
Women Soon to Be Opened
ReadyoWear Clothes that Are Unusual Are to Be Secured
by Mr.. Sissnan and M. Cohn for Their
New G Street Store.

Like one Of those delightful speciality
shops on the Rue de Rivoli or the Rue
de la PaiX which the American visitor In
Paris finds so irresistible will be the new
store on the southwest corner of Twelfth
and G streets soon to be opened by Mr..
John H. Sissman and Mr.. Bert Cohn.
Just at present hammers are busy and
carpenters and decorators have sway on
the premises. There is little yet to sug-
gest the sort of shop which Mr.. Sissman
and Mr.. Cohn have in mind. But when
a representative OF the Woman's Herald
heard of the plans now being carried out
she Immediately had in her minds eye
just the sort of shop that will delight
Washington buyers. The woodwork on
the first floor is to be of silver oak, the
decorations all in a delightful tone of
French gray and the glass cases are TO
be frosted in colonial design.
Like the Partisan speciality shops this
new clothing store will get away from
the disadvantages of the readyto-wear
department. There will be a gown.
suit a blouse and a hat for every one.
Just because a suit proves popular and
easy to sell Is no reason why Mr.. Siss-
man or Mr.. Cohn are going to attempt
to uniform the town with that particu-
lar suit. Enough that it has proved
becoming to one buyer. There are plenty
other designs for the other purchasers.
Mr.. Sissman was formerly the buyer
and manager for the woman's "ready-to-
wear department of Woodward & 10th

March Is Lady Jane Douglas.

Remembered as one of the most re-
markable legal cases in history, the
story of Lady Jane Douglas reads like
the chapters from a romance. She
was born March 8. 1888, in Scotland.
Early left fatherless she was brought
up by her mother and owing to her
great beauty and her many accom-
plishments she had any number of dis
tinguished suitors before she was
20. There were three dukes and three
earls among them. When she was %
she or her mother selected one of the
earls-who later became a duke-and
Jane seems to have been truly in love
with him.
On q day when all arrangements had
been made for the wedding of Jane
and her earl letter was slipped into
her hand as she was walking through
the street. The letter pretended to be
from the earl. making known
previous attachment that he had had
of which he had never told Jane. This
confession must have been of a serious
nature, for Jane was so distressed
about it that she determined never to
marry. but TO retire to a French con-
vent. Accordingly. she made an at
tempt to escape from home with her
French maid. both in male attire. They
were followed by James mother and
brother and brought bac to safety be-
fore they had got out of Scotland
Lady James brother was brother
worth having. for not only did he tight
duel with the unworthy earl. but he
more than doubled his sisters allow
ance and made it possible for her to
keep up a prentitious household of her
own in Edinburgh. where she enjoyed
the most brilliant and distinguished
society of the period for many years.
1t was not till she was ~ that she
finally married and this time 1t was a
Col. Stewart, whose only fortune was
his sword. whom she had quarreled
with earlier in her life and who re-
turned to marry her. But Lady Jane
knew that her brother would not an
prove of this union. so assuming the
name Mrs Gray. she travelled with her
husband through the Continent 1t
was when Lady Jane was well past so
that the famous twins. Sholto and
were born in Paris. Lady
Jane and her husband claimed these
children, and the elder of the two was
the heir to the fortune of
Lady James brother. But the brother
in Scotland refused to believe that
they were James children. And hence
arose the famous Douglas case which
was fought out in the British House
Of Lords for many months and was
eventually decided in Lady James ia
vor. Archibald. the surviving son, be-
the heir of the Douglas fortune
and estate.

VOCATIONAL CONFERENCE,
WomaR's College Joins Forces in
Finding Right Work for All.

Vassar College, March Il, 1915.
No one may rightfully say now that
colleges are merely theoretical and do
not provide for or take any consideration
Of the practical careers which their stu
dents must eventually seek. vassar Col
lege Is At present holding a conference
just to aid in the work Of picking out the
right vocation and of getting started in
1t in the right way. Daily meetings are
being held at which speakers particu-
larry fitted in their lines are discussing
the various courses such as journalism
teaching. interior decorating. positions
open to women in administration, church
work, etc.
Farming was especially recommended
by Mrs. Frances King, president Of the
Women's National Agricultural and Hor-
tfcultural Association. Also. Miss Nancy
Mcclellan, graduate of vassar, 81, and
for number of years connected with
the work of the wanamaker organixa-
ton, pointed out many advantages and
opportunities in the field of business ad-
vertising. Since nine-tenths Of the buy
ing Is done by women and since women
understand woman's point of view,
they are especially fitted for this work.
