WHEN IRONING DAY
 COMES AROUND

There are a few things which will make the day easier. Do you ever scorch your linen? If you do, do you know how to remove the scorched spots?
 If the scorch is not very bod, dip ping the article in water and hang ing in the sun for some hours will remove the spots. To get rid Of the more serious variety, dip repeatedly in a saturated solution of borax. Then expose to the sun or firelight- You can recognize a saturated solu- ton of boric acid by noting whether the borax stands undisturbed in the bottom of the bottle. If 1t does the solution Is a. full strength one. Another way to remove badly scorched spots is to peel and slice several onions and extract the juice to which you add one half an ounce of fine white soap cut small, two ounces Of fuller's earth. and one cup full of vinegar. Boil all together and when cool spread on the linen and allow it to dry. Wash the article as usual.

This unique request to begin its charity al homo will be made through the Bridgeport Protective dissertation on its tag day For, although the people of this city have colltri}Dut ed thousands of dollars through tag days during the last few months, only one other contribution was ever made for work in America. But every cent of the money donated next Saturday win be spent in help ing women and children in Bridge port at the particular moment when they ne,-d help.
 The old question, Am I my broth eGys keeDer?" has never heen answered raore satisfa, forily or more thorough 1y than by the Bridgeport Protective Association, In the character of the work which it does, Il is one of the most unusual organizations ta2 the country, While originally formed to be an aid to women. it's work has Erow1a to include children of both Esexes and it enjoys the proud dis0nc- tiog Of being able to say that it has never refused a hcl2inE hand to any one who needed it.
 While it is thoroughly non-secta- Tfan in it's work and aims, the asso- citation was the idea of a clergy na an, Rev F. A Dillingham;. former pastor of the T-niTersaI5st church of this city, MT Dillingham; had thought much of the fact that while there were places for mon who were temporarily on the brink, a woman in similar ciCcum- stances had no place where she could go, So he conceived the plan of the Protective Association and SuCceed.e& in interesting q number Of prominent men and women of various religious denominations in working il out

This cIeverly dainty bit of femin% initv is a colorful evening gown for youth in all her glory It makes use of three important fashion fea- lures of the season, namely, metal lace. chiffon flowers, and the bouffant hip effect
 You will have no trouble making this admirably designed model. How about developing it in bronze lace and orchard? The bodice might be of orchid satin. Over it, in envelope style. drape two triangular pieces of orchid chiffon with picoted edges. Fastened under the arms are two similar pieces which gracefully stirn- ulate a sleeve. The shoulder straps are of bronze banding.
 The skirt has two overskirts of bronze trimmed lace The founda- ton skirt is of orchid satin. To give tha bouffant effect about the hips, tHo-inch wide two-tone ribbon is used and Iooped up with chiffon flowers of pastel shades. A bit of bronze is used for leaves of these dainty little bouquets, which trim bo- dice and ribbon loops.

Look again And you will see that its slink1ness is yelled with net bouf- fancy. Compromises are always agreeable things anyhow In this instance the compromise is q wonder fully becoming thing and an assured 1y mo6ish thing besides. One other really important point of interest that you don t want to miss on this frock though. is the bIoomer line of its 1ndersktFt.
 But now ornething about the stuff that the frock is made Of. It's a dragon41y blue taffeta below, and a flame co1ored tulIe atop, with some more dragon1iy blue taffeta going into its dem uce ruffles. Rather fetch ing scheme to take to the formal di1a- aex with you, isn't it?

TOME OF MARY
 QUEEN OF SCOTS

On Oct Il, 1912, the remains of Mary, Queen of Scots, were removed to Westminster Abbey. where a most magnificent monument was erected to her memory The tomb of Mary the Beautiful lies opposite to that of Queen Elizabeth, Lioness of England. A delicate irony of death is seen here. the deadly rivals in life are associated in death Only the sol- emn Chapel of Henry VII. separates the tornbs in their cold magniffcence. Should one or the other arise from the marble. ghostly spirits still at odds over very profound questions, one done to death by the other, and one haughtily claiming the English succession. they would directly face each other through the deep gloom and ornate tracery of Henry the VIL's superb oratory.
