TO WASH BLANKETS,

The most important thing to remem-
Der about blankets is that all the wash
ing and rinsing must be done in water
Of the same temperature, and that
never more than 80 degrees Cold
water is just as bad as hot. for both
affect the animal fibers Of the wool
and cause chemical changes which re-
suit in shrinkage.
If the blankets are badly soiled. add
one tablespoonful Of ammonia to two
gallons of water in which soap flakes
have been dissolved. Do without the
ammonia if possible for the sake Of the
blankets, which in time it attacks and
makes harsh. Have second tub all
ready with the solution and shift the
blankets without wringing. Empty and
prepare the first tub in the same way,
making three soap solutions in all, in
each of which you have pounded the
blankets up and down. Now rinse in
three more waters, all Of the same
temperature rs the washing waters
When wringing loosen the wringer con-
siderably even if quite lot Of water

To Be Sleeveless
Though "Sleeved
Is Fashion S Decree

To be CARRIED in a sleeveless attire
vet completely sleeved is the newest
prerogative OF feminity. paradbxlcal
though it may seem.
The forerunners of this latest de-
cree of fashionableness for summer
and autumn making their debut on
Fifth avenue are so pleasing that they
promise to take with furore that
should undoubtedly carry the vogue
with genuine popularity over into the
winter.
Just now this vogue finds its most
interesting outlet in sports attire of
fabrics made up into garments for all
the activities of the out of door days.
The woman golfer was the first to
value the sleeveless coat and sweater
for its indispensable comfort and free
dom, and this season the designers are
giving her wonderfully woven ones of
silk and wool in the vivid contrasting
stripes that add a delightful note tax
Of brilliant coloring to the links.
Chiffon Alpaca is predicted for some
thing Of a sensation creator in sports
garments. 1t might be termed the hot
weather tweed Tweed accepted as it
is as the aristocrat Of sports materials
is impossible for real summer days,
and chiffon alpaca will very likely as
sumo it's place for warm weather. An
other feature in it's favor is its non
crushableness, which gives it superior
ity over linen.
Continuing even into the field of less
strictly sports garments, this mode of
sleevelessness will be seen in separate
coats Of worsted jersey, frocks of al
paca in sports colors, linen frocks,
homespun frocks, and the supremely
satisfactory ensemble suit dress and
coat combination Of imported tweeds
and Jersey.
Now the equestrienne, who is per
haps the most insistent on smartness
of attire of all sports lovers. is seiz
ing upon the sleeveless coat idea as
a find worth having and holding, and
is keeping a close second on the golf
ers in the numbers of users.

FRiLLs OF FASHION.

The Florentine neck line Is seen in
almost every dressy afternoon gown.
The coat-dress is the darling Of the
spring mode and is the best friend Of
the woman whose chief ambition is to
ally elegance and economy.
In this season of utter simplicity
deep folds of the material are often
the only trimming allowed-and, By the
way, they are very smart. A charm

BOOK SHOWERS

A new fashion is set in preparing for
the homes of the hundred thousand
June brides. Book showers" are re-
placing the old-fashioned, materialistic
kitchen, linen. lingerie and silver
showers. And books are proving as use
full and as popular in the equipment Of
home as tinware and linen.
Books on building plans; cook books;
hints on home dress making: garden
ing books; books on economy in house
hold management; books of etiquette
dictionaries; sets of the brides favorite
authors: new volume Of poetry, or a
good collection of poems: an enticing
new book of travel, for cozy fall eve
nings in the new home; all Of these and
more are finding their way into the
brides equipment, for her friends will
see to it that she is thoroughly up
to-datc bride
After all there is no reason why the
library in the new home should lack
furnishing, any more than the kitchen
and books are so much more human as
gifts than soap shakers and fireless
cookers. The giver of book will be
practically assured that her gift will
not be duplicated; berry spoons and
salad forks so often have to be re-
turned.

Watch Your Step

From London comes some good ad-
vice about the art Of walking. Several
points are given which, if studied and
followed, should correct many defects
OF the figure and give poise and beauty
thereto. Here are few Of them: Take
care of the poise and the walk will
take care of itself
Waist back, chest forward. shoulders

In walking avoid big strides, which al
ways look ugly, and little nincing ones
which always look silly. If you walk
well you will stand well, sit well and,
in all probability. sleep we'll A good
walker will be able to walk double the
distance Of a bad walker on half the

Do not imagine, when you are walk
ing. that everybody is looking at you:
people will not trouble 10 notice you
until you are worth noticing. by which
time you will have ceased to worry
about it. Do not spend all your thought
on the kind of clothes you are going TO
wear; spare some for the way in which
you are going to wear those clothes.
Clothes which prevent you from walk
ing properly are dear at any rrice.

Oxalic Acid Solution
Applied to Straw Hat
Will Make It '3New''

A hat which becomes limp with
dampness may be restored by pressing
it with warm iron over damp cloth
A white straw or leghorn hat nav he
bleaehed by washing with soap and
lukewarm water, after which it should
be well brushed with oxaIic acid solu-
ton or paste Of lemon juice and sui
phur. If the oxalic acid forms bubbles
when poured on clean white pine
board it is too strong for use and should
be diluted. 1t the straw is brittle and
soap and water cannot be used on it,
it should be well brushed before using
the oxalic acid and rinsed with clean
water afterwards. The hat may be
dried by covering it with cloth and
pressing with warm iron or placing
it in the sun.
Black straw hats may be cleaned
with piece of velvet which has been
dipped in gasoline. If it is still not
black enough after this process is fin
ished it may be dyed with commercial
dyes. Colored straw hats may be
cleaned and colored in the same way.
Most commercial dyes come in dark
shades and may be diluted by the use
of a neutral liquid A straw hat may
be reshaped by dampening the brim
and bending it to the shape desired.
Faded flowers which are soled
should be cleaned first by shaking them
in gasoline, after which water colers
and oil paints mixed with gasoline may
be used to tint them. If the whole
flower is to be colored it may be dipped
in the bowl of coloring, after which
the center may be painted a darker
shade with a camel's hair brush. The
edges of the petals may be tinted by
dipping them in a bowl of less dilute
coloring matter The flowers may be
dried by placing weight on the
stems and allowing them to hang from
the edge of table or shelf. The ap
pearance of the flowers is improved
BY trimming off all frayed edges.
Maine, chiffon and laces are best
cleaned by gasoline. They may be
colored by solution Of oil paints and
gasoline or if they can be washed IN
water without injury; colored soaps
will be found satisfactory in giving
them new. colors Maine may be
freshened by passing it before the
spout of a kettle from which small
amount of steam is coming. Care
should be taken to prevent the ma
terial becoming too moist

shop there was an evening gown. Of
silver embroidered chiffon which had
a sash of grey tulle with long floating
ends at one side and the sash ends
streamed not from a bow but from
two clusters of hydrange blossoms,
and cluster purple and the other blue.
Sashes may be an inch wide or foot
wide. With lowered chiffon and
dainty colored dresses smart sashes
are made of narrow ribbons in varied
colors. Extremely wide sashes may be
fashioned of any sort of soft silk and
when worn give the impression of be-
ing only three Or four inches wide.
Attractive is the sash of rather
heavy linen. reaching not several inch
es below the hem of the frock. This
effect is very popular and in the more
dressy frocks the ends trail on the
floor.
Another feature of the summer

Tulle is used almost exclusively for

gowns which can stand yards and yards
of it. An attractive evening gown
shown recently had red and black lace
and the sash ends were Of flame and
black tulle each end fastened on the
waist band under red rose. The

the skirt which is also trimmed with
hand hemstitching and a pleated panel.
One Bingham frock has frills of white
linen and linen tape belt which slips
through pearl buckles at each side.
A most striking novelty summer

Swimming, Dancing
and Quick Walking
Will Develop Legs

Every time short skirts come in
style the number of my readers who
wish to improve the shape of their
legs and ankles increases enormously

should rather hate to belie.e this be
cause woman's real aim should be
to be beautiful all over, for herself
as we'll as for others.
Short skirts have been in style for
long time and are likely to CON
tinue so-though the exaggerated
shortness. like all extremes Of style,
has lived out its brief life. Never
theless the new skirts show the ankle
and graceful curve of the calf OF the
leg. If the line here is bad. either too
straight Or too suddenly fat it spolls
the whole impression of the figure
One Of the best exercises for de-
veloping the legs is dancing. Swim

matter so is any exercise that ne
cesstates quick walking or running.
There are a great many women who
have no opportunities elther Tor

and say that they cannot therefore
properly develop their bodies. They
can be doing exercises at home.
One of the finest exercises for de-
veloping the legs from the knee to
the ankle, is to walk about the room

WinninG Streak Continues

For the first time this season Thurmont
holds first place undisputed in the Fred
erick County League pennant race. On
Saturday Evansville lost to Brunswick
and Thurmont won from Ladiesburg, this
giving Thurmont about one game lead.
The Thurmont-Ladiesburg game was a
lopsided affair. the tail-enders never hav-
ing chance. In the third inning two
hits coupled with Thurmont's only two
errors gave Ladiesburg their lone tally.
The game was called by agreement in
the eighth inning with score FL to in
favor of Thurmont.
Two features of the game stand out
prominently. Marshall Reed, who did
the twirling for the local team about ten
years ago, topped the mound for Thur
mont and in the five innings manager
Shaver left him in he struck out ten men,
walked one and allowed only three hits.
This gives encouragement to those who
hope he can "come back" Should he
get back into old form, Thurmont will
have the strongest pitching staff in the
county. With Reed going good Thurmont
has seven pitchers to rely upon all of
whom have plenty of "stuff," The sew
en- are: Freeze, Reed. ]. Creeger, E.
Creeger, Williar, Knott and V. Birely.
The second outstanding feature of Sat
urday's game came in the eighth inning
when Knott stole home while the pitcher
was making his delivery. This is the first
time the stunt has been done in the coun-
ty leae ae. The Thurmont lads gathered
"a safe bingles.
