TWO-FABRIC FROCK
USES FOR BL0TTING PAPER
Discarded Absorbent Will Serve Many
Purposes About the Home In
Emergencies.

Save every piece of plotting paper
that comes into your home, even those
that have advertising upon them, for
besides being useful in the writing
desk 1t is very practical for absorbing
other things about the house besides
ink.
A piece Of blotting paper put under
table mats wherever vases of flowers
are to be set protects the polish Of the
table from dew drops from the flowers
or any dampness that seeps from por-
Gus pottery.
To press out light grease spots a
piece of clean plotting paper placed
under the fabric to absorb the grease
will cause the spots to disappear,
usually, when a hot fiatiron is pressed
directly on the spot.
When the children apply for paint
rags" for water color painting square
of plotting paper is a fine substitute,
for it absorbs the color and water
from a wet paint brush Immediately
and is less messy" In drying paint
brushes the same blotter can be used
again.
In cooking greasy things, such as
crOquettes, doughnuts and potato chips,
q large square Of clean blotting paper
on which to drain these foods as they
come hot from the frying kettle helps
make them more appetizing, healthful
and daintier to look upon.
When water is spilled upon any deli.

ton of fresh plotting paper will pre-
serve it in good condition. When any
liquid is spilled upon the tablecloth a
small square blotter will absorb il
quicker and more satisfactorily than
wiping up with cloth.

SHOCKS IN STYLE THIS YEAR
tlons-Crepes, Linens and
Ponqees Still Used.

Shocks which had great vogue last
year for garden and sport wear have
become more fashionable this year and
now grace all kinds of social functions.
The firmer materials of last year, the
crepes, linens and pongees are still
used for the ordinary smocks, but those
for dress wear are of the sheerest
georgettes and some dainty ones make
use Of organdie and wolfe, especially
I'm printed patterns.
Originality Is given free play in the
designing OF these garments and some
very beautiful ones have been inspired
by Japanese mandarin coats, Russian
native costumes and other oriental gar
ments.
Printed wolfe or printed georgette
embroidered In some bright-colored
yarns will give the desired effect. The
sleeves are loose three-quarter length

the corners. The belt with its pouch

Infertile Eggs

CARE OF CUTICLE AND NAILS
Beautiful Hand often Marred by Lack
Of Attention When 1t is
Most Needed.

Your nails may be entirely shapely,
but what care are you giving to the
cuticle?
A lovely hand and fine, oval nails
are often married by tough or a
ragged cuticle.
So many persons in an endeavor to
care for their hands themselves COM
pletely spoil the shape of the nails by
maltreatment of the cuticle.
While cutting the cuticle isn't in
furious when the work is skillfully
done, states an authority, Ii is best
not to have the cuticle cut when you
can possibly avoid 1t. A tendency to
stimulate the growth Of hard skin
around the nail is promoted by cut
ting the cuticle.
However, If you've neglected to care
for the cuticle for any length of time
you will find that Ii has grown stub
born and thick. Naturally, IL Will re-
quire loosening and cutting so that the
much desired half-moons may show.

Men Having Gray Eyes Have
Proved to Be Best MarkSmen

Gray-eyed men, says Fort Worth
correspondent, are the best marksmen.
This has been proved after eight
months experience at the rifle range
of Camp Bowie, and besides old army
experts will tell you the same thing.
When Capt. +. r. Breese was here

new rifle he said that proficiency In
craftsmanship usually ran according

coming next, blue third, hazel fourth,
brown fifth, and black sixth.
Records show that soldiers whose
eyes are light brown TO black cannot
shoot with accuracy at distance
greater than 500 yards and at SOC
yards miss the target altogether.
Even with different nations the
color OF the eyes has determined
shooting ability. Nearly every Mex

Onions Good DiSinfectant
in Any Case Of Infection

Much has been said about the vir-
tues of the onion, but few know Of its
use as n disinfectaat, says the Lon
don Chronicle.
An onion cut In half and set In a
room will attract to itself all manner
of germs, leaving the air sweet and
pure; 1t is therefore most valuable
in cases of infection. You should
take care. however. TO burn the onion
afterward.
No part of an onion should ever be
used for domestic purposes after hav-

Good Wartime Dishes.

A most tasty combination which was
discovered quite by accident is the fol-
lowing: In preparing a potato salad
for small family the addition of
two guests made the stretching of the
salad imperative, so a cupful Of nice
ly seasoned cottage cheese, which had
been left over, was added to the pota-
to salad making such tasty one that
hereafter we will use cottage cheese
with our potato salad. A pimento had
been used to season the cheese, which
added to the appetizing flavor.
