ANSWERED LETTERS.


Bride--'.I have a slight scorch stain on

it?'
Answer-Wet with soapsuds and place
in the sun. Repeat PROCESS until sue
cessful.
Mrs. l.. l.. F.--.1 have large wool
carpet badly in need Of cleaning. My
grandmother used to have formula for
some homemade cleaning and Frightening
fluid for rugs, plush chairs, etc, and am
wondering if you could give me this par
ticular one; / remember it contained soap
tree bark, ammonia, white soap and borax.
Can you tell me the right proportions to
use of these Ingredients
Answer am glad to say that | hap
pen to be familiar with this old formula.
Here it is;
Old Fashioned Cleaning Fluid for Rugs,
Carpets and Push.--Boil ounce Of soap
tree bark in | gallon of water for 10
minutes. Strain through cloth and add
| gallon Oh warm water, u pint of am
monia, bars OF fine white soap shaved
finely, and = pound of borax. Let all boil
for ten minutes, stirring constantly. Then
pour the fluid into a iour-gallon jar and
fiji the jar to the top with cold water.
When cool it will resemble soft soap. Use
the following way: Dust the article to be
cleaned, put little of the cleaning fluid
on and rub with a soft brush; then rub
with soft cloth wet with warm water,
finsihing with soft dry cloth. Clean only
small place at time.

Mrs. ID. +. G.-"Mv husband and /
have Just moved into n rented house, but
we arc building one of our own, and in tho
meantime | am confronted with the prob
lem of making my large Smyrna bedroom
rug fit into a space too small for it. What
would you advise me TO do--turn 1t under
on one end and use it, or store it in the
attic until the new house Is ready, putting
down rag rugs in the bedroom? The bed
room floor is not of hard wood and would
require painting, so IT would be more
economical To use the rug IL | cou Id.
Answer-Manv housekeepers in th is
predicament make a box pleat on the
wrong side of the rug at some part which
is the least noticeable Gn your case, per-
haps under the bed) pressing it down
and securing the edges together neatly on
the upper side by sewi ng the pleat with
strong waxed thread or dental floss pro
curable at any drugstore ! would advise
YOU to do this. The pleat may be let out
when the time comes to use the rug in it's
full size and no harm will have been done.

EASY AFTER-DINNER COFFEE.

The custom OF serving coffee in the
drawingroom or livingroom is one that We
have borrowed from France, and II is such
n simple ceremony to perform that It is
sure to become more usual among us
At ceremonious dinners it is still custom
airy among some persons for the men 10
remain at the table after the women have
withdrawn. Then coffee is served IN the
drawingroom to the women, and TO the
men-usually with cigars and liquors--in
the dinlngroom. Now it is quite plain to
see that this custom is not one that viii
ever be adopted in this country in any
great number of families. Where men
neither smoke nor drink it would be alb
sIrd. Moreover, many women dislike the
custom, as it seems TO imply that the men
Of the party viii enjoy talking better when
they are not present. At any rate, il would
never be popular at the small family din
ner.
However, the custom of serving coffee
IN the drawlngroom is one that could. be
adopted in every household. Where one
maid Is kent 1t Is convenience, as llnger-
ing at the table is then not a temptation
and the servant does not have 10 wait till
after coffee has been drunk leisurely be
fore clearing the table. Even in the house
bold where no servant is kept il has its
advantages.
One clever housewife ! know, who dex-
terously puts the dinner dishes away in a
large closed box, to be washed In the
morning. so she may enjoy sfter-dinner
leisure with her husband hastily clears the
table and with the assistance Of her little
daughter, starts the coffee Immediately
after the family has risen from the table,
and then, within five minutes, is ready for
coffee in the drawingroom, with as much
appearance of leisure as the woman who
has five servants.
The coffee service on tray should be
placed on a convenient table where the
mistress of the house should pour it. Then
servant, or preferably in small estab-
lishments, a daughter of the bouse should
hand around the cups. She should take
one cup and saucer In the left hand and the
sugar in the right. Most persons do not
Use cream in after-dinner coffee-in fact,
it is not the conventional thing TO do-so
1t is not part of the usual after-dlnner
coffee service. Where it is served, little
combination sugar and cream set may be
passed, or the sugar dish and cream
pitcher placed on a small tray may be held
in the right hand. II is customary TO take
the coffee slowly, though it should never
be spooned up. The spoon is 10 use merely

One day Long-Iail, who lived in the
pantry wall, ran into the kitchen to take a
look about.
He did not see Puss or Toby Dog
asleep by the stove until he was on the
shelf behind the stove. If Long-Tail had
not been so careless he would have had
his fun and gone back home without dis
turbing P,lss or Toby, but he was very
proud of his long tail and frisked and whlsk-
dit about until he upset the candlestick
and sent it off the shelf on the floor.
II struck the tip of Toby's nose and
made him jump up growing at Puss
for being so careless with her sharp claws.
Plss was up in minute, but her sharp

accusing her.
