TAFFETA HAS CHARM FOR ALL
Fabric Lends Itself to Many Uses 70,
the Wearing Apparel Of
MiIady.

One favorite way of developing a
frock fashioned Of taffeta material
Is making Il quaint basque bodice and
a TERED or scalloped skirt.
Fringes and uncut edgings have dis.
appeared from view, and in their
places-even at the beginning Of sum
mer-came' ruchings Of taffeta and
queer little wheels and ornaments OF
lace edglng, the latter frequently tint
mentation has gained in favor.
Speaking of elaboration, it may be
interesting to notice that blossoms and
leaves are made Of chiffon velvet, tat.
feta and even Organdie.

BEST WAY TO CLEAN RUGS
Mild Soap With Tepid Water Should
Be Used When Floor Coverings
Are Washed.

Rugs should be kept clean with a
UNI cleaner, as the hard grits of sand
will, if not removed, injure the nap.
Do not sweep Wilton or Administer
rugs hard at first as the tufts are liza
HE 10 loosen before they are pressed
Gown by usage.
All Wilton and Administer rugs are
"sheered" when finished, consequently
light fluff or loose wool Will sweep out
for some time. This is a feature Of
the fabric and not a defect.
Do not pull nut any knots or tufts.
Cut them off even with the surface
Of the rugs. The tufts in any domes-
tic rug can be deliberately pulled out.
This Is due TO the nature of fhe weave.
Protect your rugs from bright or
strong sunlight, as all domestic rugs
will fade some.
When washing is necessary, use mild
soap, with trpid, not hot water, else
the alkali OF stronger %cleansers will
eat into the surface and destroy the
color. Never food the surface with
water. 1t is best to wash about a
yard at q time, rinse with clear wa
ter and let dry thoroughly.
Given "A cOat Of varnish, linoleum
survives a much longer period of wear.
Before vanishing, make sure that the
surface is free from grit or grease.
Let varnish dry e night before
walking on the floor.
Waxed linOleum Is easier to clean
with a dust mop. Dust and grease
will not stick to it.-Detro,t News.

Materials Used in Dresses P0pu-

Bingham and Linen and Dotted Swiss

There has been no sudden leap from
correspondent. The change has been
gradual, but the smartest thing that
one can DO in the way Of %headgear is
to wear 4 hat that is made of some
thing other than the long-accepted
hat stutrs. The milliners used to say
that this and that fabric would not
make up we'll for hats, but now the
feeling is that they stop ut nothing
when it comes 10 fashiOning a hat out
ct some strange fabric never before
used for that purpose.
Then there are hats Of Bingham and
linen and dotted swiss and Organdie--
all Of the materials, in fact, that are
used for summer cotton dresses. Some
times they are fitted to the shapes
underlying them and at other times
they choose TO drape themselves about

THE KODAK.

IN 1882 j. II. Schultze accidentally
i discovered that silver chloride was
darkened by light. Hellet, in 1887,
made the same discovery about silver
nitrate. Wedgweed, in England, made
silhouette profiles by the use Of this
chemical. In 1889 Herschel discovered
the fixing solution, or "hypo." These
independent discoveries were united
in 1910, when Miss Dorothy Catherine
Draper posed for the first picture ever
taken. The next year Talbot discov-
cred the developing fluid, and the art
OF photography was born. The inven-
ton Of the roll film instead of the
glass plate started the kodak.

Any way there is Il certain abrupt
ness about the expression that makes
it unsuitable eve for business which
should always be courteous even
though TO the point. AT your earliest
convenience" is a better expression.
But why use any Of those stereotype
expressions that are seldom used any
where but in letters? The man now
who writes the best business letters
writes as he would talk and says in
stead "as o % as you can" or "as
soon rs possible" or something of that
sort.
Don't use the ending very truly

letter. 1t is no LONGER the right end
ing for social purposes or letters be-

Don't use the ending respectfully
yours" in ordinary business CORE
spOndence. 1t is the correct ending in
an official or business letter addressed
to the President, it might properly he
used in addressing the vice president
or justice OF the Supreme court, but
to use it simply because you are writ
ing to someone whom you wish to do
business with has an air OF too great

bers of congress and several senators

of educational matters, discussed i'm
portant details at the meeting.
Prof. Wagner declared last night that
the principal point brought out at the
meeting thru discussion was that:
Education is still the chief business
OF the American republic
The point in brief. as brought out
by leading speakers may be stated in
substance as follows: In this period
of re-adjustment, while It is necessary
to economize and always make every
dollar go as far as possible. II was not
understood when the United States
entered the world war tnat they were
to pay for that war by discounting
educational opportunities of the boys
is still tho chief business of the re-
public, especially the education to be
provided for rural districts"
Superintendent Wagner is vlce-pres-
ident OF the National Educators As
sociation. He states that the next
general meeting of the BODY VIII be
held in Des Moines, Iowa, in the first
week of July.
| AT the close Of the educational ses-
sions at Atlantic City on Thursday.
| March ), a special train was provided
for the visiting superintendents TO
Washington, d. c. A large percent
age of the delegates took advantage
of the privilege TO witness the inaagn- =
ration ceremonies and opportunity to
visit the country's capital. /.
Superintendent Wagner states that
he was singulariy impressed with the
simplicity OF the inaugural ceremonies.
The solemnity OF the occasion was
increased by the ceremonial demon
stration of the 10000 people who at
| tended the exercises and listened 10
| tho inaugural address as delivered by
President Harding" declared Wagner.
While in Washington Wagner paid
his respects to the new secretary OF
