STAIN REMOVERS.
How to Bring Ugly Marks Out of Pet
Linens or Garments.

For black ink on any white goods,
wet with hot oxalic acid poison).
You may need more than one applica-
ton if the cloth has been washed with
soap several times. This will also re,
move iron rust.
Perhaps you would like to know how
to remove ink or iron spots on fast
dyed cottons or woolens. Citric acid
cautiously and repeatedly applied will
remove them.
To remove mildew from any white
cloth stir one ounce of chloride Of lime
into quart of cold water. After it
has settled two or three hours pour the
clear liquid off into a bottle, and it
will be ready for use. Dip the mil
dewed spots in the liquid and let dry.
If one application does not remove the
stain entirely repeat the process. Rinse
in clear water.
To clean grease from wool or silk
apply fluid made by dissolving two
ounces Of white soap and one-half
ounce of boraX In a quart of warm soft
water, or rainwater is good. Pour
small quantity into bowl, add the
same amount of water and sponge the
goods with it. After it is clean sponge
with clear water and hang up to dry.
Spots of paint, grease, pitch or oil may
be removed from silk or linen by rub
bling with purified benzine applied with
cloth or sponge. To destroy the OdOr
Of benzine add little oil of lemon.
Fruit stains may be removed from
clothing by pouring boiling water
through them; ink spots by soaking in
sour milk and afterward rubbing with
a piece of lemon on which some salt
has been sprinkled. Ink may also be
removed from white linen by dipping
the spots Immediately into pure melted
tallOw; then wash out and the ink will
have disappeared. The above is for
fresh stains.
Remove tar spots by putting butter
on them and then wash out the grease

THE CHAINED PRINCESS.

If you will look out Of the window
you can see in a group Of stars the
lovely lady Of the rock.
But we doIft see any lady," they
objected after looking.
Have a little patience until you can
pick out the stars. They form a sort
of skeleton around which you must
see the lovely lady in your minds eye.
I'll make picture of the lady for you.
"Oh, N.Y." exclaimed the children as
they watched him, shes got chains on
her arms and feetl What are they
forT'
The chains were put on to hold the
lovely lady to the rock. But may as
well tell you the story.
According to this, there once lived In
faroff Africa a king named Cepheus.
His wife, Queen Cassiopeia, was a very
beautiful lady, but she was very vain.
One day she boosted that she was
handsomer than the daughters of the
sea king. One Of the ocean nymphs
heard Cassiopeia and told her father,
old King Neptune.
He was very proud of his lovely
daughters, and to punish vain Queen
Cassiopeia he turned loose & fierce
sea monster on the shores Of King
Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia's coun-
try.
Queen Cassiopeia was overcome with
grief when she learned that the trou-
BILE was because of her foolish boast
about her good looks. King Neptune
let 1t be known that the monster would
stay right there, frightening and kill
ing people and upsetting ships until
King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia
gave their own daughter to 1t.
OF course the king and queen said
at first they could never think Of such
a thing. When Princess Andromeda,
their daughter, heard Of it she begged
to die instead Of the poor people.
So they chained her to a rock on the
seashore. Her parents and friends,
weeping, watched as the monster came
swimming in from sea.
But there suddenly swept down from
the sky on a winged horse a beauti-
full youth clad In armor that shone like
gold. With few strokes of his magic
sword he killed the beast and set the
lovely princess free.
He was the hero Perseus, and he
married the lovely princess Androme-
da, and they lived together long and
happily ever afterward.
When the two died their memory was
honored. People named a group Of
stars after each Of them. In the east
ern heavens about this time Of the year
you will always see the Andromeda
star cluster rising slowly in the sky.

ITO provide a capable and efficient

The men who must be replaced If
they go to the war are drawn from
farms, from shops, from factories, from
stables, from motor vehicles-from ev-
erywhere. And to all these places
these distinguished women go them
selves or send their sisters with an en-

hardly equaled in our own democratic

Points About the Very
Newest of New Millinery.

There are no between season hats.
One does not trim ones spring sailor
with a bunch Of bittersweet berries
or scarlet ribbon, as was the custom
Of the nineties when autumn came
around. A new hat it must be, of a
sort that could face February gales un-
abashed and shine at the Labor day
festivity.
In the four shapes which share favor
for early autumn xploitation-namely
sailors, mushrooms, tams and turbans
analysis will reveal military infiu-
ences in some form or other. Some
times there is found the high, indented
crown. Again, the military note is
sounded by visor, and there are doz-
ems of picturesque adaptations Of SOL
dierly headgear made of velvet, of silk,
Of ribbon, of leather and of feathers.
Pasted cog is a favored feather trim
ming, the tiny, downy feather sprays
applied like small flowers all over a
hat crown reminding one of little East
er chicks.
1t Is almost impossible to resist the
impulse to stroke these hat crowns and
find out If they are as soft as they look.
Most Of the new hats have very high
crowns-high, that is, In proportion to
the brim.
These tall crowns are dignified rath-
er than dashing, and the new headgear
cff, CTR forhf I'M foo6 Of eli oclr
on the head, another element of dig
nifty. Very often the dash of a mill
hnery model is due entirely to the
sweep of brim. Were the same brim
an inch narrower at one side or its
slope a very little more moderate the
hat would be quite ordinary and un-
worthy Of note. There Is a great deal
Of art in the placing Of hat brim, its
movement" and its size in proportion
to the crown it accompanies.
1t is quite surprising how many Of
the new French hats are of felt, and
chamois colored felt Is particular IA
vorite. A smart little turban, tremen-
dously high Of crown and with a tiny,
upturned brim, Is Of channels felt. A
rich curled ostrich feather In navy
blue is held against the front Of the
hat by twisted blue and tan cord.
Some of these felt turbans are lovely
in coloring. Besides chamois, one notes
olive drab, puritan gray and rust gold.
Very often the trimming is merely a
band of grosgrain ribbon with tailor
ed bow. There is infinite art In the
making Of these French tailored bows,
rosettes and cockades.

Currant Ice Cream.

Few hossekeepers realize that an ex-
cellent Ice cream can be made with
currants. Mash one scant quart of
cherry currants, heat to the boiling
point, cook for three minutes and add
sufficient sugar to make quite thick.
Simmer for FIVE minutes, then strain
as for jelly. Have in readiness one
pint Of boiled custard, also sweetened.
When the fruit liquid Is cold beat into
the custard gradually with half a pint
Of stiff1y whipped cream. Turn into q
chilled freezer and freeze slowly as
for ordinary ice cream.

FreckIe Lotion,

Lemon juice Is good for removing
freckles on the hands or face. 1t is a
mild bleach and will not harm the
skin. Buttermilk is also good. Try
the buttermilk or lemon juice for about
a month, applying daily, and then if
the freckles are stubborn and will not
come off try the following: One-fourth
ounce of carbonate Of potash, one
eighth ounce Of chloride of soda, eight
ounces Of rosewater and two ounces of
orange flower water. If you freckle
easily never go out In the sun and
wind without protecting your face.
