Caring for That Sweater Sci

<(- VERYBODY'S WEARING

those sweater sets-those
skating caps and those
long. light, gay scarfs borrowed
from regions OF perennial SHOWS.
The revival of ice skating ;his year
has had a marked effect on fem

the new ice steps all would be well,
but, alast for the white and rose;
the dainty blue, and other delicate
mixtures which soil most easily and
spot and stain.
How can the wooden sport clothes
be cleaned after they become
spoiled? BE sure and lay them on
q clean surface or box when they
are not In use, as much of the dirt
carelessly laid down. TO give them
dry cleaning in order to preserve
as long as possible their newncSs.
purchase a small quantity of fuller
earth or powdered magnesium or
use good cornstarch. Lay the arti-
Gle on a clean white cloth and
sprinkle thickly with any one OF
these preparations. Turn the gar
ment so that all parts may be filled
and allow IL to lie over night. The
following day lift up and shake the
garment thoroughly, using a stift
brush. If there are distinct grease
spots, place clean white blotting
paper above and below the spot and
press with a warm iron. Change to
fresh ~blotter until the grease dis
appears. This should be DONE preVi-
Gus to the ali-over cleaning.
But II the sweater cap or scarf be
extremely soiled, a water-bath will
be necessary. Here the chief point
Is to avoid shrinkage and pulling out

duction in the regimen.
Similarly, In autumn, the body weight
diminished with the temperature. in
spite of notable increase in the ration.
Lastly, in summer, the loss of weight
was not in proportion to the reduction
in the quantity of oats consumed. which
at that time fell to I.6 per cent on an
average. The ration of green meat re-
manned fixed. while the evaporation
from the tissues during the hot season
reached a high level.
1t il also remarkable that the weights

conception of the absorption of the solar
