are the evening frocks fertile soil for

often reach tropical proportions.

The old idea of mourning was
that a year was proper for a hus-
band, wife or parent. and about half
that time for brother or sister.
Fortunately we have developed be-
yond the narrow thought that grief
Is external. We have better

Changing Pillow Ticking.

Most farm houses today have all
the latest conveniences for making
housework easy, among them vac

To those who have such a comfort
here is an easy way to change pillow
ticking when they have become
soiled. No more tying up OF the
hair in a towel, wearing cotton
gown, and sitting in cold cellar or
shed. Instead you just fasten a clean
slip securely to the opening which
usually holds the dust bag; a small
opening is made in the pillow, slipped
over and fastened to the short tube
used for the attachments, the button
TUNED on and-presto, the clean slip
is filled.
