 Candles hardened by being kept in the refrigerator, or a cool place, will burn longer than others.

Easter, the most joyous festival of the church. except Christmas, came and went, revealing that the war has had no effect upon 1t as the focal point in styles of dress for spring. The costumes, suits, frocks, millinery and footwear in which throngs of men and women wend their way churchward, or somewhere, on Easter Sunday consti- tute the spring song of tailored clothes. And the frocks in which women em- bark on their social doings after East CT crystalline the styles into fashions for midsummer in all kinds of ap- parel.
 The coat-suit, with its ever-present vest, it almost goes without saying, outnumbered tailored frocks and all others, in the Easter parade, but the tailored frock held its own as quite as chic and trim for the street. There Is great variety in suits, but the sev- eral styles have points in common, as narrow skirts, ankle or instep lengths, and some of them drawing In about the bottom; a slender silhouette, re- gardless of whether the coat is straight-line, blouse or semiftted, and vests more or less conspicuous.
 The semifitted and the blouse styles in suits are illustrated above in two good models. They are not as numer- ous as the straight-line model, which Is considered by some people point

A Mistake Made by Many

Don't wait for rheumatism to in- dicate diseased kidneys. When you suffer pains and aches by day and sleep disturbing bladder weakness by night, feel tired, nervous and run down, the kidneys and bladder should be restored to healthy, strong and regular action. 1t is a mistake to postpone treatment.

The spring housekeeping is finally completed by washing and polishing fixtures and furnishings that require this treatment. Here are few hints and recipes that will be found useful:
 Electric Powder.
 Used for polishing gold and silver plated ware, German silver, brass, cop per, glass, tin, steel, or any material where a brilliant luster is required. To four pounds of the best quality of whiting add one-half pound cream of tartar and three ounces of calcined magnesia. Mix thoroughly together, Use the polish dry with a piece of chamois skin or canton flannel pre- viously moistened with alcohol, and finish with dry polish. A few mo- ments' rubbing will develop surpris- ing luster, different from the polish produced by any other substance.
 Silver Powder.
 Nitrate of silver and common salt each 30 grains. Cream Of tartar three and one-half drams: pulverize finely, mix thoroughly, and bottle for use. Unequaled for polishing copper and plated goods.
 Knives not in daily use should be well polished and buried in box of sawdust until required for use. i Britannia ware should be washed with a woolen cloth and sweet oil, then washed in water and suds and rubbed with soft leather and whiting
 Frightening Brass.
 To clean lacquered brass wash 1t gently in lukewarm water, rub with cloth dipped in equal parts of vinegar and lemon juice and then polish with dry leather.
 Old hot-water bags, split open and cut into circular pieces, are excellent mats for house plants.

It has a vest with pointed edge, which fastens from left to right and is finished with a binding at the neck and three but tons at the bottom. It is made of tan- colored silk tricolette. But vests are made of all sorts of materials in many colors, so that in this particular each Individual may follow her own fancy.

The skirt has its seams overlapped at the sides and fol- lows the lead of the coat in the use of braid with fine rows above the hem.

Capes of tricolette, in exquisitely brilliant colors, rose, peacock blue emerald green and cerise, will be ,fea- tured for evening wear. They will also be worn in sport shades with matching sweaters or over white frocks during the day.
