THE HOUSEHOLD

Edited by ANNE RITTESHoUsE

Did it ever occur to you that a we'll
equipped laundry is one of the surest
instruments toward having careful
laundry work? In fact, it has been
known to happen that a thoroly eff
cient laundress ceased to work for one
woman because she had a badly
covered ironing board and went to
work for another woman who was
very particular to see that there was
always the wherewithal to keep the
ironing board in the pink of condition.
The honors seem to be about di-
vided between the plan of using old
sheets for ironing board covers or buy
ing new material for the purpose. If
you get new material select unbleach-
ed muslin. The board should be we'll
padded with felt before putting on the
cover. and this may be fastened by
lacking it along the back if you wish,
altho this method has the disadvant-
age when you want to remove the
cover to wash it that it must be I'M
| tackled. And of course the cover
should be washed frequently if you
want your clothes to be spotless.
Some housewives make ironing
board covers and sew heavy snappers
to them with corresponding parts of
the snappers attached to the felt on
the board so that the cover may be
quickly taken off and put on again.
Here is an old-fashioned rule for
making a cover for ironing board
which is easily and quickly removed:
Pad board smoothly, bringing padding
over small end of board and tack Sc
curely. Some articles are more easily
ironed If just slipped over the small
end of the board. Cut muslin the
shape and length of board. allowing
enough to bring over edge and under
about twelve inches long and cut TO
fit small end of board. allowing for
thickness of board and seam This is
for the bottom Sew to top. turn
seam in and you have a slip which will
fit snugly over the small end Of the
board. Do not trim off the three-inch
margin allowed on top of the cover as
it will stay in place better. Then take
three or four strips of muslin or strong
tape sew firmly to one side and fasten
: tightly on the other side witl1ssnap fas-
teners or buttons. You then have a
cover which fits snugly. does not in
/ terfere with the framework of the

To Peel OFF Blotchy,
Rough or Chapped Skin

To remove roughness. chaps. freckles,
blotches. or any complexion difficulty. the
best thing to do is to remove the skin
itself. This is easily, painlessly and mex
pensively done by the application of ordi-
nary mercolized wax, procurable at any
drugstore in the original one-ounce pack
age. The wax absorbs the defective outer
skin, little each day, gradually bringing
the second layer OF skin to the surface The
pores are unclogged and the face breathes
in the fe-giving oxygen. The new skin
is beautifully soft and spotiess. bearing the
healthy glow of youth. Just apply the
wax as you would cold cream, only not
rubbing 1t in. In the morning wash 1t oft

This sounds queer and it is still
more odd to announce that All these

After the Japanese.
In Japan and China the people have
learned the secret of building up soft,
thin fabrics to make them give
warmth. The Chinaman uses. silk in
sufficient layers, to produce the effect
of wool. The Japanese wads his silk
clothes until he feels as warm as a
rabbit in its nest.
This is the trick that so many So
journers in the east have brought
home to us. We are going to take
China silk this season. wad 1T, en-
broider it, and use it in layers until
it makes as comfortable a coat as a
few yards of homespun.

quilted with navy blue silk thread.
There are pockets and a turnover
collar with edges embroidered in blue.
The buttons are of silver. Then, as an
after thought, there is a cape of navy
blue cloth to go over this coat. 1t
matches a short narrow skirt in the
same shade of blue.
1t is rather an alluring costume.
One can wear it in the street and
when under the roof, emerge from
the dark covering and appear in the
brilliant white garment at a moments
notice. 1t makes one of those agreea-
BILE costumes that so many women
search for; something that serves a
double purpose.

Whatever was reliable. serviceable
and economical was used for women's
apparel. There was little or no effort
in the line of ingenious origination in
the work of the looms. The world
used up its common stock of serge,
homespun, taffeta.- satin and chiffon.
These were good enough for any
woman. The dressmakers thought
this. and the women aided and abetted
them. No one cared for an excess OF
beauty or ornamentation when Khaki
