HOW TO WASH SUMMER FROCK
Various Ingredients Should Be Added
to the Water, According to the
Color of the Goods.

When washing colored summer
frocks at home, remember these hints
To prevent the color running, add to
the rinsing water little vinegar for
mauve or heliOtrope, oxgall for brown,
alum for green, methylated spirits for
all shades of lemon or yellow, and salt
for blue.
A handful Of salt in the rinsing wa
ter nearly always acts as a preserva-
tive for any shade or color.
Brown holland frocks always pre-.
sent better appearance if washed in
bran water, without any soap being
used. Boil pound Of bran in two
quarts of water, strain this into two
quarts of clean warm water, and wash
the dress in as many lots of water as
necessary.
Rinse through cold water and, when
half dry, iron on the wrong side with
hot iron.
Silk summer blouses want washing
quickly and carefully, one at a time.
Do not wiring the blouses, but squeeze
through two bowls of soapsuds, then
rinse through clear warm water.
Pale-colored silks improve by being
given a second rinsing through blue
water. Roll in a towel, and iron be-
fore quite dry with fairly hot iron,
keeping a piece of muslin between the
silk and the iron-a good tip this lat
ter. So many home-laundresses ruin
silk blouses, making them yellow, by
washing them in very hot water.

BINGHAM COSTS LIKE SILK
When Gowns Are Made by Hiah-Priced
Artists, the Material Is the
Least Consideration.

So many of the newest frocks are
built of Bingham or deliberately trim
med with that modest material that
women are naturally a little shocked
when they find that prices are not pro-
portionately reduced. But one has on
" to remember that most of these
frocks are designed by highly PAID
artists who combine materials not be-
cause they are expensive or the re-
verse, but because a certain fabric suits
their mood and harmoniZes in color
or texture or effect with some other
material.
The actual amount of material that
goes to make any Of the fashionable
clothes is not large, except in the case
of the cloaks or coat capes now being
worn by everybody. Whether a yard
or so of checked gingham or the same
amount of taffeta or crepe de chine is
chosen is of much less account in the
final cost of the frock than the amount
Of hand worE which goes to its connie

HUNGARY IS NOW BANKRUPT
Magyar Political Economist Says In
terest on Debt Almost Equals
National Production.

DIR. EIDE Palyi, In recent article
In the Az Est of Budapest, entitled
Hopeless" makes some startling reve-
latons In regard to the state finances
or Hungary, according to the New
York Times. Doctor Palyi Is not only
a prominent Magyar political econo-
mist, but he is an ardent supporter OF
close economic relations with Germany.
He leads up to the statement that
Hungary is insolvent by pointing out
that, while the productions of Hungary
realized In the year before the war
$950,00O000, the war had cost the
state up to March 1, $5,000,000,000, and
that an equal amount would be neces-
sary to liQuidate national expenses at
the close Of the war-if the end came
soon. Hence, while the whole ma
tional production has never exceeded
$950,000,000, the government will be
called upon to pay in interest alone
S600,000,000. This is, he says, why the
Magyars refused to entertain the last
war loan, the true figures of which
have never been published. He pre-
diets ga revealed catastrophe" with the
floating Of the new war loan.
eff the wage-earners," he declares,
"were to pay so per cent income tax
and the farmers so per cent of their
produce in taxes, and the industrial
products were requisitiOned entirely,
even then the needs of the state would
not be covered. And if the state were
to seize the entire agricultural prod
ucts of the country after the war from
the producer, $18000,000 would still be
wanting to cover the interest the state
has to pay on the war loans"

Scotei, PIaids.

It Is rumored that one of the great
designers in Paris is making an ex-
haustive study of the plaids worn for
centuries by the Scottish clans, and
that he will Incorporate these in
large output of new materials. If so,
there is no doubt that women will come
back to the fashions which the French
tried to exploit during the first year
of the war, and which only few wom-
en- took up-the short, plated Scottish
skirt with the velvet jacket, copied ex-
actly from those worn by the Scottish
regiments now in France. The dark
colors will be taken up instead Of the
light ones, 1t is said, and in this way
women who are doubtful about plaids
may be able to adopt the fashion.

The Distinctive Touch.

1t is not so much question of what
color predominates in your dining
room, for there is some shade or tone
of almost every color which is possible
for almost any room, but unless you
have quiet background in your walls,
and hangings of medium color value,
so that you are free 70 use different
contrasting colors in your minor aces
series, you will find yourself commit
ted to one fixed and narrow color
scheme the year round, and, as flowers
are as necessary on the well-furnished
table as salt or soup, this may prove
monotonous and expensive when your
chosen decoration is out of season. In
all these little touches, as well as IN
the larger ways, is fiat subtle thing
which we call Obstruction given to a
room.-Ladies' Home Journal.

Near Jamestown Tenn. the tourist can trail, If

among the very things he predicted would come to
pass upon his $4,000 acres,' as detailed by Mark
Twain in the opening chapter of 1.-THE Gilded
Age" The most striking about such ramble
Is the contrast between reputation and character.
The scene of that first chapter of 1.-THE Gilded
Age" is laid in the Tennessee Lands" which be-
longed to the father of Mark Twain. Of them he
said they had a reputation like Nazareth as far
as turning out anything good was concerned"
These lands are turning out many good thing,

These Two Items of Apparel
Should Be in Harmony.
Fact That They Should Be on Good
Terms With Each Other Is Not
Always Recognized.

1t Is not generally recognized fact
that neckwear and hats ought to be
on very good terms with each other.
There is nothing that so affects the ap-
pearance Of hat as the collar 1t is
worn over. Maybe that Is why the new
hat. which you liked so well the day
you bought it, does not satisfy you
now; maybe it is the collar which you
wear with it.
The collar should follow more or
less the outline of the hat, that. is. a
neat tailored stock like the one shown
with the buttons should not look so
well with the flaring sailor with the
tassel trimming. This sailor tops
double collar effect which is stunning,
indeed. The tabs of the flare collar
coming down through Sits in the cape
collar and ending in rather long ends
take away from it the awkward look
which a round collar is apt to give.
This is a splendid model for organdie
The tassel trimming on this sailor is a
simple and very stunning trimming
for sports hat of this type, says the
Milwaukee Sentinel.
A medium-sized turned-up hat, with
indications of the tricorne about it,
uses an anchor of silver braid to en-
bellish the caught-up left side. These
patriotic emblems promise unusual
vogue in the millinery world. The col
lar and cuff set used with this set sug-
gests q soft sports silk or wash satin.
The ball-weighted ends hold them
selves in place through the clots in
collar and cuffs, though snap fasteners
might prove helpful addition here.
Trig, indeed, is the stock and cuff
set under the snug-itting turban.
