successfully WOO and win her who is

the rivers. A small forest stream sat

washout, and in these burrows they
sleep during the daylight hours. So
it is very difficult to trace them. The

II Remove Paint Stains

To remove paint from cloth, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine, lay a
pad of hlotting paper on the side of
the material on which the paint fell,
and rub the other side gently with a
soft piece of flannel dipped in chloro-
form or benzol, both of which are
paint solvents. As the paint diSSolves
it naturally passes into the most alb
sorbent material in contact with it
which is blotting paper-not into the
adjacent cloth. Deep stains can be
completely removed by this method.
