STOPPING THE RUNNING AND
FADING.

coo;,1 co-rer Sisters: Some that
I,o1T hove rotten so discouraged trying
to wash and do up chintz without the
least hit of success that 1 feel word OF
advice may serve to change their minus
about this pretty material.
If chintz has never been washeu pe-
fore If is hest to wash it in bran water
as the colors are then less laoie 10 run
If very dirty add some melted soap or
soan fakes TO the bran water. Choose
fine drv day. and see that everything
is ready before beginning to wash as
chntz should be washed rinseo ana
dried as quickly as possible
The rinsing water must be prepared
beforehand, adding two tablespoons OF
salt and one tablespoon of vinegar to
each gallon of the last rinsing water,
which may he either cold or warm
To prepare bran water-one quart OF
bran, one gallon of water. Boll the war
ter. then stir in the bran and simmer
for one hour. Strain and add one gal-
lon of warm water to the bran water
If the article to be washed is very dirty
or greasy, add three tablespoons Of
melted soap, or soap flakes to the bran
water.
To wash the chintz-Put the bran
water, which should be warm, not hot,
into a basin or tub, put in the articles
to be washed, squeeze and knead well,
but do not rub. When clean, squeeze
out the water and put through three lots
of rinsing water, prepared according to
the above directions. Fold and mangle
the chintz or wiring out as much water
as possible. Starch in boiling water
starch and hang out in the air to dry,
not in the sun.
To iron-when half dry, iron the
~, -fd do fircf md thnT
on the right The iron should be hot,
but not hot enough to scorch the ma
terial. Iron until quite dry, pressing
heavily and rubbing quickly backwards
and forwards until a gloss is produced
Remember. Not to wash the
chintz in too hot water or the colors
may run. 2. Not to dry the chintz in
the sun, or the colors may fade. 5. Not
to let it soak but wash and finish it off
as quickly as possible. L. If the colors
appear at all likely to run, iron the
chintz directly it is starched and wrung
instead of partially drying it first
Boiling water starch.-One tablespoon
of white starch. Enough cold water t.
mix it smoothly; half teaspoon of poE
dered borax; IA inch of wax candle
Boiling water to mix.
Put the starch into a basin and mi1
it smoothly with the cold water Shaw,

add. Stir well, and while stirring poul

and becomes semi-transparent Mix tn
borax with a little boiling water anC

| down at once with little cold water.
By following this method I feel vol

all. The nurses have task, to deal
with all sorts of dispositions, and while
these are not in normal condition, and
often adult cases are harder to contend
with than those of children. There are
some patients who will deliberately take
advantage and demand waiting on more
often than necessary, and have no mercy
for the footsteps of a nurse.
1t has been my privilege to be a daily
visitor to a large hospital for the past
month, and in an open ward which con-
tains 50 beds. One of my family has
been under a serious operation, but is
recovering nicely now. 1 had oppor-
tunity to observe many things during my
frequent calls, and I judge the nurses
are not all to blame for some unpleasant
things, where patients think or imagine
they are being imposed upon.
The open ward is quite a different place
than the private room or being at home
in times of Illness The patient needs
more will power to help endure his con-
dition when among many others who are
just as helpless as he and must keep in
mind that he must share part of the
nurses time for her service Just to
think, the nurse is only human herself,
with one pair of hands to DO with, and
she is called and beckoned to from all
sides. We might say this is good case
to illustrate the need of harmony between
bear and forbear." It's not the most
desirable place to attend the wants of a
sick, nervous or irritable person when
such is continually finding fault. Neither
is it any more pleasant for a sufferer to
receive shortcut replies to reasonable
questions, and feel dread to ask for a
cup of water lest they are refused or
kept definitely waiting.
TO conclude. if both patient and nurse
would do their hest for each other, re-
suits would be smoother and more help

of our annual picnic at Lake Wangum-
baug looks rather dubious at present,
unless it should be held very late in the
season. The lake is very high and the
road to the pavilion and cottages is COW
cred with water considerably over a foot
deep, according to those who claim to
know. 1t is covered all the way to the
outlet of the lake and as the water in a
lake does not lower like that of a river,
If the road is in a fit state to use by July
1t will be remarkable. There are not any
boats for hire at present, so it looks
rather discouraging for those who own
cottages on the shore.
l am sure Kitty LOUIS letter on tailor
ing is fine, but if she will not be Offend
ed l would like to add a suggestion.
There is one thing she did not emphasize
as much as I would, and that is that all
enings, especially the canvas, must be
cut on the same line of the goods as the
outside. She probably thought that any
one would understand that, but I know
by experience that many women think
if the outside is cut on the right lines
as the pattern directs, that the lining
can be cut any old way and not make
any difference, and then they wonder
that the work is q failure and lay it to
the pattern.
There are many women who do not
know what a true bias is. A true bias is
to fold a square so as to form a three
cornered piece The fold is true bias.
Anything else is only part bias and is
worse than nothing.
Have any of the sisters tried using
small walls with a wide mouth as recep-
tacles for buttons and snaps?
They are fine. as one can see at once
what they contain. I always remove
both parts of snaps and press them to-
gether when ripping up a garment, for
if they are separated and get mixed with
others it is almost impossible to fit them
