To HC Ediior Of Womd. $ Pd0C:
Dear Madam wrote to YOU some time
ago and asked you to print directions in
your column for removing coffee stains
from a silk taneta dress and also few
grease spots. You very promptly answered
my request. hut somehow I mislaid the dI-
reCtiOns. IT ! am not asking too much of
you viii you kindly print the directions m
the paper again, by Friday II possible?
Coffee stains are hard to remove from
delicate silks. GlyCerin is about the
safest agent to use. Take five parts
glycerin with five parts water and one
quarter part Of ammonia added. Before
using this mixture it SHOULD be tried
on some part of the dress where 1t can
not be noticed. to see If the mixture will
change the color. II 1t does change the
color no ammonia should be used. If
no change takes place, or If after drying
the original color Is restored. the mixture
SHOULD be applied with a soft brush. al
lowed to remain on for six or eight
hours and then rubbed off with a CleQn
cloth. The remaining substance Is
scraped off with knife. The injured
places are now brushed off with clean
water, pressed between cloths and dried.
To remove grease spots. sponge with a
mixture of one part alcohol, one part
IChloroform and one part benzine. A drug
gist will prepare this for you. Draw A
circle of French chalk around each
grease spot TO prevent its spreading
while you are working on 1t, Chloroform
is sometimes satisfactory to remove
grease spots.

for the game next week. The switch
ing Of Stegnan to forward has
strengthened the playing and passing
ability Of the team, also strengthen
ing the forward position in case Of
accidents.
With the steady practice the r. H.

keyed to the highest pitch and be on
their metal throughout the game.
Although the team is light in
weight, with a sharp, quick thinking
mental edge and speedy foot work on
the floor along with accuracy at shoot
ing the team stands the best chance
of any of going to the front in the
tournament.
