What to Do With the Gifts Which Lie
Idle In Your Mouehoir Box.
There are some girls who have stacks
and stacks OF handkerchiefs which will
never In the world be used for their
original purpose For such girls a few
suggestions concerning the various
uses TO which the handkerchiefs might
be put Will prove valuable
In the first place, a handkerchief bu-
reau scarf is a thing OF beauty, pro-
yided fine materials are used for the
making. Three or four handkerchiefs
win be required. according to the
length Of the bureau or dressing table;
1t Is to be understood that the scarf
win do for table as well as for the
bureau. Each handkerchief Is Joined
10 the others by means Of a strip OF
lace, embroidery or ribbon, and the
whole scarf is bound by a scant ruf1e
Of whatever material Is used for the
Joining
One girl who had an oveabundance
OF 'hankies" used them for favors at a
luncheon she gave to five girls She
outlined a fairly good sized circle IN
the middle OF a handkerchief. sewed a
piece Of tape on the outer side Of the
handkerchief to make a casing for
baby ribbon. Upon pulling the ribbon
a neat little pouch was formed. and
into the pouch a delicate brand OF face
powder was poured Six handker-
chiefs. all treated In like manner and
each decorated with a different colored
ribbon were used to hold the place
cards. Needless to say, the guests ap-
preciated such useful and pretty
favors
Have you ever made a baby cap from
a handkerchief? II not, you win find
the task very simple. Turn back one
corner Of the handkerchief to form a
flap. Several inches up from the dag
onal point gather the material and
stitch over the gathering threads-on
the wrong side Of the handkerchief, OF
course-a piece OF tape to form a
casing. Through the casing run white
or delicate blue or pink ribbon. which
is tied beneath the diminutive chin and
which holds the cap In place. A hand
kerchief twelve inches square or larger
WIN be needed to make the cap
Another useful article that can be
made from a handkerchief Is bib. Cut
one point OF the handkerchief on In q

How to Clean Your spats

Linen spats have largely superseded
the vogue Of cloth, as is quite proper
for warm weather wear. They may be
Numbered without endangering theil
shapeliness by too great shrinkage II
ordinary care is taken Some women
have discovered that the best way Is
20 put them over e shoe form and TO
scrub them with white soapsuds ap-
piled with a sim hand brush.
NRphtba Is all right for the first or
second cleaning. but water and soap
win be found eventually TO improve
the color and be the easiest way Of
freshening up the spats. Even the
white cloth overgaiters yield 10 the
cIeanly influence Of water and soap,
and a good laundress VIII be able to
launder them well
Spats Of tan and checked lines are
among the novelties. but as summer
approaches we shall likely find the
hosiery Of color taking the place OF the
overgafter. Nevertheless for the smart
taiIleur completion women will cling
to the shoe accessories which original
IL came to US by way Of England and
were formerly associated only with
mems footwear.

Blowing BubbleA

Children usually prefer to blow the
bubbles into the open air and watch
them sail into space. However, many
interestina tricks can be done with
soap bubbles. II blown on to a piece
Of felt or wooden cloth spread on a
table the bubbles win bounce lightly
and VIII not break at once. With q
little practice bubbles can be hitched
to each other. the first one being at
tached to a piece OF worsted suspended
In the air. and a pretty little chain
OF bubbles is the result A bubble can
be made to walk" a tight rope Hold
a piece OF worsted yarn In a slanting
position, blow the bubble on 10 the
upper end. and It win dance and
bounce down the string to the lower
end, thence making a flying leap 30 the
floor. There are many other tricks
that may be done with soap bubbles,
some comparatively simple, while 9th

hours so that the stomach may have 4
chance to rest between meals. Be

Sewing Machine Moods.

Among the worst offenses OF the sew
ing machine is its refusal to bulge. 1t
may appear to be in perfect condition,
clean and well oiled; but, no matter
whether the material is thin or thick,
SOFT or hard. the wheel refuses to move.
When this occurs lay strip Of paper
Doth over and under the seam to be
stitched and sew steadily, evenly and
with little force. The paper can be
taken away after the seam Is sewed
One might get the machine out Of it's
mood by using bit Of odd cloth and
the papers afterward, sewing the
seams covered with the papers II time
were no object.
Another annoyance Is the thread
breaking. This is usually the upper
thread, and It win always break II the
tension is too great. But II one Il sure
OF perfect adjustment then the cause
OF the trouble must be sought else
where. 1t can generally be found IN
the narrow groove through which the
thread passes to the needle'H eye. This
groove is the exact width Of the thread,
and when a rough place In the thread
Is reached it snaps. because it cannot
pass on A small file applied TO the
edges Of the groove viii open Il enough
% remedy the trouble. A roughened
thread win often go through the eve
OF the needle when Il win not pass the
groove.
