WITH YOUR VEIL


The American woman has always
been considered an expert in the wear
ing of a veil. The French woman has
always envied her sister from the
new world her adaptness at fastening
a crisp, fresh veil about her hat in
just the right way.
Now this is a season of wells. Per-
haps it is the Spanish veil more than
the face veil that is worn. At all
events, there are many big Spanish
wells fiating over the brims of the new
hats. These do not need special ad-
justing, for they are unusually fastened
TO the hat with which they are worn,
and allowed to hang loosely over the
hats edge. 1t is the snug face veil
that needs special attention.
To begin with, a veil that is not fresh
is worse than no veil at all. Which
means that we should keep our wells as
fresh as possible, for in this day we
cannot afford to buy a new veil for
every occasion.
TO keep our wells fresh we should all
ways pull them straight and wrinkle
less when we take them off. Then we
should bind them carefully but snugly
around cylinder or piece of board.
If the veil is damp when it is taken
off, it should be bound around a large
piece of cardboard, SO that,it is not
double in any place, and then pinned
carefully so that it will stay pulled
out. Thus it will dry crisp and smooth.
Throw away old wells that are torn.
They are worthless, and they merely
serve to clutter up bureau drawers and
boxes. New wells may be expensive
but no veil is better than shabby one,
remember that.

DANGEROUS ADVICE.

More attention than ever will be given
to the case which Judge Lands recently
disposed of in Chicago, by telling the boy
who had confessed to stealing about
$4,000 from the bank why're he was en-
. ployed, 10 go home and that the bank Of
icials were more to blame than he was,
by the disappearance from another bank
of a 17-year-old old clerk who carried
away more than three-quarters Of mill
lion in Liberty bonds.
The second young man has been caught
and all but a $500 bond has been recov-
cred. The bank had indicated its will
ingness to take the boy back and give
him another chance If he would return
the bonds, but he failed to take advan-
tage of the offer and according to the
. statements which are attributed to him
.. following his arrest he indicates that it
;. was the low pay. he was receiving and the
opportunity of taking the bonds that
caused his undoing.
" When the Chicago judge virtually told
the first young man that in spite of the
several raises he had received he was not
getting enough money, it was impossible

resting upon the bank officials otherwise

much more plain had he told him that
anyone not getting sufficient pay, or what
they considered sufficient, should do just
~ what he did. Thus it Is not surprising

CUT MARSHMALLoWS,

A reader recently found a way to
cut marshmallows into tiny pieces
without having them stick to the scis-
sors. She dips her scissors into very
cold INDEPENDENTLY ice cold-and
uses them without drying; it is pos
sible to cut six or eight marshmallows
without again dipping the scissors. The
work may be done rapidly, as the

DRYING BOOTS.

Experience has taught most people
to dry wet and muddied boots slowly
lest they shrink and harden. Some
people stuff damp shoes with tissue
paper to preserve the shape and help
absorb the moisture, other fill them
with warm oats or bran. Afterward
they need a dressing which contains
oil. A standard mixture for the pur-
pose is made by combining a quarter
of an ounce of spermaceti oil three
ounces of treaele, four ounces of pow
dered lampblack, adding at the last a
cup of vinegar.

THlE KEROSENE flame.

TO keep kerosene lamps sweet is diff
cult, but it may be done by keeping
two wicks fer each burner and alter
mating their use. When the old wick
is taken from the lamp, put it in. an
cid saucepan kept for the purpose,
and add tablespoonful of washing
soda or soap powder. Then the wick
IS boiled, rinsed and dried, and that
stale SMELL of kerosene is almost en-
tirely gone. 1t is cheaper to do several
at time and have all the smelly work
out of the way.
The charred burner fixtures of a lamp
could be treated like the wicks and the
lamp would then have double chance
OF remaining sweet smelling.

When in a hurry for potatoes to
bake they will be done much sooner if
placed in the oven dry. Plan to have
them washed ahead of time and dried.
When cream is not best whipping
cream add the white of an egg to

whip it carries the cream with it.
Cream is not considered whipping
