New Silk Lingerie

lear MISS DOOn.
have about a dozen pairs of silk
stockings and some silk underwear
which ] have never worn. and | was
told that IL they were not washed
thev would rot away. Is this true?
II SO, how shall l wash them, and
what is the longest they can lie
without washing? These articles
are new and have never been worn.
What is the easiest way to wash
a soiled white sweater?
Thanking you, [ remain,
A BRIDE.
1t is said that folded silks which
lie long time will crack along the
folds. The way to remedy this
would be to fill the silk undergar-
ments with tissue paper. Wrap in
dark blue tissue to keep white silk
garments from yellowing.
Here is the way to wash silk
underwear:
Soak the vests for half an hour in
warm suds and ammonia water,
allowing a tablespoonful of ann
monia to gallon of water. Rub
gently with the hands, pressing and
squeezing, but not rubbing on the
board. Do not use too much soap
garment. Rinse through two warm
waters the same temperature as
the suds, adding to the last u bit OF
blueing and a teaspoonful of liquid
gum arabic. Iron under muslin.
To wash white silk hose stretch
them on a table and with a roll of
rough cloth dipped In strong, warm,
white lather: rub first on one sid
and then on the other, repeating
three times. Rinse well. do not
wiring, and hang wrong side out.
When half dry stretch and pin on
cloth. Do not iron, but rub until
smooth on the right side with
piece of flannel.
Wash black silk hose in lukewarm
suds to which has been added a tea
spoon of oX-gall. Rinse in cold
water. using blueing for the las
rinsing. Wiring. stretch and hang
up to dry While still damp spread
out and rub with flannel to restore
the gloss.
Here is a good way to dry-clean
a white sweater:
Mix salt and -four and rub thor
oughlv into all parts Of the garment
Then put the whole in a bag anc
pour in little more salt and fioul
Shake the bag about thoroughly
then hang on the line and beat
Then remove from the bag and bea Z
again until all salt and flour are out
Repeat If necessary. This method
is supposed to cleanse we'll and to-
leave the garment light and fluffy.
hope that the reader who sent ir'
the suggestion will see this and le'
me know If have remembered cor

PREPARED PICTORIAL REYInM
A NATTY CIRCULAR SKIRT

There is touch of braid on almost
every tailored skirt that counts for
anything, especially when 1t Is intend
ed for separate wear. Sometimes 1t
is just an applique of braid: again, it
is an elaborate design stitched with
narrow soutaehe, at-tail braid.
An exceedingly attractive skirt is
shown in today's Home Dressmaking
lesson. 1t closes to the left of centre
front under pleat and is made with
a high waist-line. If desired, the ap-
piled yokes on front and back cores
may be omitted. The skirt Is a four
piece model.
For medium size 3Ss yards of a.
inch material are required. Serge,
cloth, cotton gabardine, linen are the
materials best suited to the develop
ment of this skirt.
The length of the skirt may be regu-
lated in the cutting. for there are
many women who do not care for the
very short models. The front and
back cores, as well as the front yoke,
are laid along the fold of the mate
rial, lengthwise, before cutting, so
that no seam will be necessary,
Almost in the centre of the goods,
between the front and back cores,
the side gore is arranged, and to the
right of this the back gore Is placed,
both of the latter being on a length
, wise thread.
The small 40" perforations in the
cores show how they may be cut off
for the short skirt.
Despite the fact that they are not
universally worn. the new wide skirts
must be short to have distinctiveness

Peter Makes an Error.


Mary" l began, mildly, what sort
of woman is that pretty little Morris
woman next door,"
"Prettyl" exclaimed Mary. Dear
me, Peter, do you honestly think she
pretty?"
The query irritated me. Having
promised Morris to see that my wife
called upon his wife, 1t annoyed me
not a little that my first remark
should tactlessly have collided with
a universal sex antagonism. No
woman can hear another called pretty
without bristling.
ST do think she's pretty" I said
heatedly. Her complexion is like a
rose and she dresses so prettily."
"She makes her own Clothes" said
Mary. 'I can see her often at the
window of the sewing room"
Mary did not mean this quite in the
way / received 1t.
Cleverness or Economy?

not so much cleverness as economy.

"why on earth are you so suddenly
interested in Mrs. Morris?"
I'm not interested in her." I said

and we'll dressed, and you told me
indirectly that she was clever"

Never mind" I shrugged. "We'll
drop the subject" For to be honest

arousing an antagonlsm which l did

Mary Scores Swiftly.
TITS the hostility of competition, y
I decided later, thinking 1t over. I'll
must be. All women consider them
selves in competition for male ad-
miration-all pretty ones, and there
fore one competitor can't very vel
admit the points of another. And
women do seem to hate a clever wom-
an At least normally clever wom-
an-one who can do the homely things
of life, like making clothes, a little
better than the average"
"What?" said my Mary in the mids
of my mental soliloquy, what arr
you thinking of?''
"Of Mrs. Norris I said carelessly
and regretted the words instantly.
Really" said my wife. "She hai

as perverse as a cranky child

and listen to her husband rave over
another woman"
There's the woman's proneness to
exaggeration again." I snapped. 81

you've spoken of her several times
about her clothes and her pretti-
ness"
I relapsed into silence. There are
times when it is the only way.
"Why don't you say something"

"Thank you," replied, 1--WE tried
it once too often already"
So much for the initial debate about

BABY GIRL ALICIA.

When mother said she was going
to name her baby Alicia, the queen
was there. OF course mother did
not know it, and the baby did not
know ii, but just the same the fairy
queen was there. And what is more
it was really the fairy queen that
put the idea in mothers head to call
her baby girl Alicia, but mother
didn't know that either.
AT any rate the baby girl was
named Alicia, although her great
aunt said she thought she should
have been named Jane, after her.
And her mothers cousin said she
thought the baby girl should have
been named Edith. just the same
her name was Alicia, and Elizabeth,
her two grandmothers, all on ac-
count of the fairy queens having
put the idea in mothers head with
out her knowing 1t.
When baby girl Alicia was five
years old she had big blue eyes and
long golden curls, and IL she had
been tiny she would have looked like
a little fairy queen herself, which
has a. great deal to do with the
story. Because, you see, the fairy
queen knew this and that was why
she took enough interest In Alicia
to put the idea in mothers head
about the name.
Now, father liked his baby girl.
and he liked her name, which made
the fairy queen glad. And, of
course, mother liked the name, so
that everything was all right. Then
one fine spring day fathers cousin,
a maiden lady, came to visit father
and mother. And right here the
trouble began.
Now you must know first OF all
that this maiden cousin--let's call
her Cousin Sarah-was very rich.
Also, we might as well admit IT.,
father hoped some day to get a
great deal of Cousin Sarah's money.
But, anyway, when Cousin Sarah
had been with father and mother a
connie of daVs she said that she re-

The hoax Is calculated to do harm,

have suffered some superstitious

gretted extremely (they're just the
words she used) the fact that their
child had been given such a friVol-
Gus name. Now, of course, TINS
made father and mother feel badly,
and even a little bit mad, but they
didn't say anything.
"Where did you get it MaryY
Cousin Sarah asked mother
"Why, it just popped into my
head" said mother little queerly,
not realizing that 1t had not popped
in at all, but had been put there
by the fairy queen.
,"Well, I'm extremely sorry" was
all Cousin Sarah said. But both
father and mother could tell by the
tone of her voice that the great deal
of money father hoped for would
not come to him.
The next day Cousin Sarah and
father were talking in the library
about their relatives. Presently
Cousin Sarah spoke of her grand
mother, whom she loved very dear
ly, and father agreed with her that
her grandmother Alicia was very
nice indeed. After father had said
it he stopped. Cousin Sarah looked
at him and then smiled.
InOnaSI Sile Sdlu, ulu you
name that child after her? I never
thought of 1t before"
Now, as matter of strict fact,
neither had father, but he didn't
say a word
well, WE'LL" was all Cousin Sarah
said: then I'm sorry I said what
did, Thomas, about her name. But
now that l know, I'll have to start
a bank account for the child"
Father thanked Cousin Sarah and
told her it was very dear of her,
and mother said the same thing,
and thought it was very lucky that
their baby girl had been named
Alicia. But it wasn't lucky at all,
you know, for the fairy queen had
known about grandmother" Alicia
all the time, and had done 1t all on
purpose. (c) 1915.
