1t is remarkable how nicely chamois
gloves come out if they are washed
properly with tepid water on the
hands. Use white soap and rub 1t on
plentifully, squeeze carefully and be
sure you rinse them so as to get out
all the dirt. Have the last water soapy.
Take off the hands and put gently In a
dry towel Then place on the hands
again and, as it is difficult to get them
on wet, take a piece Of clean white
cloth and rub each finger on and they
will go on with surprising ease.
Mold them to the hands and arms
remove carefully and hang them over
the fire by safety pins, rubbing them
gently as they dry so they will not get
stiff. If washed in this. way they VIII
be soft and pliable and as good as
new. Be sure and mend before wash
ing.

For little lads and lassies of six
years, or UNDER, suits and dresses for
ordinary wear, are made of cotton or
linen materials, the year round. This
is in accordance with the increasing
favor for wash fabrics in all apparel
which grows, along with the advance
In cleanliness and knowledge of sani-
tation, throughout the couRtry. In
the spring the young people are pro-
vided with lightweight cotton or linen
clothing. and in the fall the heavy
weaves are relied upon to furnish
suits and dresses.
This adoption of wash dresses has
caused the numerous aprons formerly
needed to disappear from the little
girls wardrobe and has eliminated a
lot of extra work. Very thick and
heavy coats, leggings and other outer
garments are provided for the little
ones outdoor wear, but for indoors
the mother guards against having her
children too heavily clothed for COM
fort in the schoolroom or home kept
sufficiently warm.
Designs for wash dresses are only
successful when they allow easy laun-
dering. Two new and pretty models
are shown here made of heavy linen
or cotton rep, which comes in many
attractive and stable colors. At the
right a dress Is shown in dark blue
linen with plain collar and cuffs in
white. A full-front panel is shocked
with white thread) at each side OF
the front opening. 1t fastens with
small. fiat pearl buttons and loops ol
fine cord.
The dress hangs straight from the
shoulders and is finished with a three.
inch hem. The sleeves are straight
and gathered into the cuffs which turn
back. They are cut three-quarter
length.
At the left dress in brown rep Is
shown with collar, cuffs and pockets
in white linen. There Is a belt which
can be detached when the dress is

FIXED 1T IN HER MEMORY
Ingenious Method by Which Lawrence
Hutton Cured Waitress Of Her
Forpetfulness.

The late Lawrence Hutton used to
say that having to take little trou-
BILE would impress a fact on anyones
memory so that he would never be
able to forget 1t. In illustration he
would tell this story:
Our waitress. Maggie. could never
remember to put the salt on the table,
and time after time Mrs. Hutton would
remind her to do it. One morning 1t
was absent, as usual. and said: Mag
gle, where is the stepladder?'
Its in the pantry. sir.
Please bring 1t in, Maggie said,
kindly.
Maggie brought 1t in with a look
of wonder on her face.
Put 1t right beside the table, l
commanded; and when she had done
80 l added: Now, want you to climb
up to the top of 1t, look all over the
table and see II there is any salt
there
Maggie never forgot the salt
again. youths Companion.

1t is the part of wisdom to make
the most of the many passing fads in
little accessories of dress that come
and go every few weeks. They vary
the monotony of the day in and day
out" tailored suits which 1t is cenven-
lent for the busy woman Of the day
to live in.
Given one good tailored gown, plain,
and in dark color, the resourceful maid
or matron manages to ring all sorts
of changes in her appearance by
means of different blouses and dress
accessories. Neckwear, millinery and
girdles are the means by which she
makes simply background of her un-
obtrusive suit.
These are especially important to the
business girl or woman who may not
give much time to dress. BY means Of
them she manages toilette suitable to
the cafe dinner OF the theater or aft
ernoon tea or any of the pleasures for
which a little; ,gayety in attire is
needed.

are sewed to the dress. Like nearly
all the new models this dress fastens

The same model is made in many col

Old-fashioned needlework, In dec.

those who know how, may add to chill

more appropriate. Pockets are quite
the vogue and are an item of much
interest and pleasure to the small peo
Pile who possess them.
