RIlYING A WARDROBE.

There are very decided advantages in
buying almost an entire seasons ward
robe at one time, over that other methods
of b,lyinp spasmodically, something this
week, something next month that tempts
YOU and the next month something more
because you have little extra money
in your purse.
Undoubtedly there is every advantage
in living more or less closely on budget
that is planning ahead of time on the
amount you feel that you can afford to
spend on the various necessities and
Injuries of life and then keeping pretty
strictly to it, and it is a great aid IN Keep
ing to your budget il you can make many
purchases at a time. For instance II you
plan to spend hundred dollars a year
ON a child's wardrobe and then make up
your mind that sixty dollars can be spent
for autumn and winter clothes. You can
spend this more wisely il you have 1t all
to spend at once with the comparative
prices of hats, suits and overcoats to
consider. Much time is likewise saved,
if you buy all the stockings and all the
underwear necessary at the same time and
undoubtedly if you have five pairs Of
stockings to begin with they will wear
better If kept in rotation than If you
manage on three to begin with and walt
until these have begun to wear out before
getting more.
Even in the buying of your own ward
robe there is considerable advantage In
buying much at time. If you know just
how much YOU have to spend for the season
and realize that there will be no more
if this is spent foolshly than you make
better selections. Moreover one always buy
to better advantage if one buys in advance
of the necessity for having the thing. For
instance if you wait until the occasion
demands an autumn hat you will probably
buy in haste, while if you buy weeks
ahead of that necessity you have the
feeling that no hurried selection need be
made.

what will take blackberry stains out Of .

what will take blackberry stains out OF
lawn dress?"
Answcr.-Fresh fruit stains can be re-
moved by pouring boiling water through
them, but the stains that have been
neglected are more difficult to get rid OF.
They may be bleached in the sun, and If
that fails they may be treated with an
application of oxalic acid. Oxalic acid IS
used in the proportion of teaspoon of
the CRYSTALS TO cup of boiling water, and
for very obstinate cases the strength may
be increased
Jayelle water is another reagent which
is successful in removing fruit stains; this
may be purchased at any drug store and
should be used with equal parts of boiling
water. into which the article is dipped.
After using either the Javelle water or the
oxalic acid the article must be thoroughly
rinsed iaafhmonia water and then In clear
water.
Mother of Five.-'Please tell me the
easiest way to treat my hard wood floors.
| have so little time for fussing with wax,
weighted brushed, and so forth"
Answer.--Buy a can of any of the ex-
cellent brands of prepared wax on the
market and put the can on the stove,
leaving it there until all the wax is melted.
Then sink the can almost up to its rim in
a pan of very hot water ito keep it soft
and apply this softened wax to your floors
with cloth. Do this twice year and you
need do nothing else to your floors except
sweep them.
