of kerosene. turpentine CIR peroxide of
hydrogen added to the rinsing water
will aid ~ whitening them.
Put pans to soak for a few minutes
after food has been removed from
them Then they can be cleaned cas-
lily. If they are allowed to stand until
dry it will take much longer.
II pan is blackened or burned rub
1t with a piece of stale bread dipped in
salt. Then wash 1t in hot water and a
little washing soda.
Children should have individual laun-
dry bags and be taught to put all soiled d
clothing in them as soon as taken off.
Waterproof aprons are useful some
times and may be made from an old
raincoat.
To remove stains, tie securely a table
spoonful of cream Of tartar in the part
of the garment that Is stained, then
boil 1t in the usual manner.
To save an enameled ware preserving
kettle that has become burned, put q
handful of ashes and some water in it
and let it stand a few hours. This re-
moves the scorched part.
To make pies and not have them soak
the crust. sprinkle Indian meal on the
board instead of flour before rolling the
under crust.
To clean nickel plato when il has
turned dark on the kitchen range, rub
1t with q flannel cloth dipped in vine
gar.
To remove leather stains made by
shoes on white or light-colorsd stock
ings, use borax.
To clean enameled ware that has be-
come discolored, apply q paste made of

To Polish Linoleum.

Take common beeswax and shave It
very thin with a knife dipped in hot
water. Cover the wax with turpentine
and let 1t stand twenty-four hours Do
not heat 1t on the stove as this will
dissolve 1t and make 1t like a soft
paste. Clean your linoleum with warm
water and little soap until It Is per-
feotly clean. then take a wooden cloth
and put on some Of the above paste
and polish with another woolen cloth.
This will surely save scrubbing and
cleaning the floors every week. and
also saves wear and tear on the limo
leum.

Novelty Shoes.

Boot tops have sections ornamented
with perforations and laid over leather
Of contrasting color. These perfor-
ated tops are also used on low shoes
An English idea Is in the use Of a
fringed and overlapping tongue. This
fringed tongue Is put on a low gaiter
shoe, elastic rubber sections being set
in under this tongue. This shoe has no
fastening. the play Of the elastic sec
tion conforming to the foot and MAX
ing a perfect At. Ornamented in per-
forated design and underlaid in color
this tongue ornament adds a smart
touch With these shoes are worn hosiery
embroidered in corresponding colori
and designs of the perforations. For
instance. a black shoe inlaid with pur-
pie is worn with black stockings en-
broidered in purple design. Such com
binations as black and white or black
and tan in leather are also seen In

Thorough beating and careful cook

muffin pans should be hot when the
popovers are put in them and the
oven should be hot Later the heat
should be sufficiently reduced SO that
the popovers will bake thoroughly
around the cavity that their rapid ris-
ing forms. They should be crisp,
