Hints For The,

water and a little soap, or warmed

polish at all. should be we'll rubbed
once a week. and more lightly every
day.
To prevent silk handkerchiefs
from turning yellow when washed
no soap should be rubbed on tho
silk, no soda should be mixed with
the water and the handkerchiefs
should on no account be boiled. A
hot, thick soapy lather, made with
finely shredded soap, should be used
for cleansing the handkerchief,
which should afterward be thor
oughly freed from all soap by rims
ing in plenty of cold water, and
when most of the water has been
pressed out they should be dried, IL
possible, in the sun.
To stiffen the bristles Of hair and
nail brushes wash them clean in
warm water with which a little
liquid ammonia has been mixed, but
do not let 1t touch the polished
back; rinse in cold water; then.
having shaken the water from
them, stand the bristles (only) in
peroxide of hydrogen for about
forty minutes, and when dry they
will be like new brushes.

BOOKS S

YELLOW SOAP. BY Katharine Hayi-
land Taylor. Garden City. n. Y:
Doubleday. Page & Co.
In "Yellow Soap" Katharine
Haviland Taylor has an interest
ing tale to tell. and she unfolds 1t
in straightforward, woman-likc
manner. The book may not be a
permanent contribution to literar
ture, but 1t holds it's head far above
the general run of books which
come to the hand of the patient re-
viewer, and it has certain sim
cerity in which the average best
seller" is conspicuously lacking.
The story deals with a lad, the
son of a washerwoman, who spends
most of his childhood sitting about
in other peoples kitchens breath
ing in steam from the boiling
clothes and the smell of laundry
soap until in after life the sundry
barriers which he must surmont in
climbing from his humble station,
to his selected goal are synbolized
by the reek of yellow soap. It's a
romantic tale, in which the hero Is
underworld, to come forth un-
spotted; and foregathers there with
a knight of the road" who after
ward leaves him a fortune. And 1t
tells of how he finally wins the
little lady upon whom he gazed
adoringly from afar since the days
when his mother did her mothers
washing.
Impossible? Well, not more i'm
possible than the things which are
actually happening every day. And
in developing her story the author
has peopled it with very human
persons. There's real pathos in
her picture of poor Della Riggs
shaving and sacrificing in order that
her son, the child of an Illicit love
affair with a man of wealth and
position, may be brought up
"gent." The prototype of the ex-
pensively hideous Milton home,
which is made a miniature hell by
the tight-lipped cruelty of Francis
Milton and the unthinking harsh
ness of the neighbors, influenced by
his smooth hypocrisy, may be found
In pretty nearly any town. And
there's a fine human quality, too, in
the portrait OF the youngest Mil
ton," growing up free OF spirit and
full of humor and originality, In
spite Of the stultifying atmosphere,
while her mother, a weaker nature,
is slowly but surely worn down
by bullying and innuendo. This
little girl, Frances Milton, is the
star to which Delia's son. Theo-
