CARE OF LEATHER BINDINGS
Material Has Tendency to Become
Rather Harsh and Break at Hinge
if Not Creased.

Bookbinding feathers have ten
dency to dry out and become rather
harsh, finally breaking at the hinge, if
the. leather along this line is not kept
flexible by occasional greasing. To
keep the leather flexible, place the
book, back up on a table in we'll
lighted airy place, and anoint it with
vaseline that is free from acid. Rub
the vaseline well into the grain of the
leather. Be careful not to get any vase
line on the leaves Of the book. Use
small quantities of vaseline and rub
in we'll with a firm flexible stroke Of
the bare hand. 1t is better to start
with very small quantity Of vaseline
and make several applications, accord
ing to the condition of the book rather
than to use too much vaseline at first.
It is best to do this work in summer.
When creased, place on shelf to dry
for "a to 48 hours and finally rub off,
says the bureau Of chemistry, United
States Department of Agriculture.

PROPER CARE OF SHOES

Proper care OF shoes means a
saving in shoe bills Of from % to
80 per cent, says the bureau of
chemistry, United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. At the
same time it insures cookbook
ing footwear. Proper care of
shoes means:
Have two pairs of shoes to
wear on alternate Gays.
Use shoe trees to retain the
original shape of the shoes.
Keep heavy out-of-door work
shoes clean and creased.
Keep shoes for street wear
clean and polished.
Have all repairs made as soon
as needed.
Some important facts to re-
member are that:
Wet leather is soft, and there
fore readily stretched out of
shape.
Stitches cut through wet leath-
er much more easily than
through dry leather.
Wet soles and heels wear away
rapidly.
Wet leather burns at tenn
perature that is only a little hot
ter than the hand can pear.
If dried too fast, wet leather
shrinks, becomes hard and mis-
shapen.
To dry wet shoes:
Wash off adhering mud and
grit with tepid water.
Grease work shoes.
Straighten the counter, heel,
vamp, and top to correct shape.
Stuff with crumpled paper.
Set the shoes in a place that
is not too warm and let dry
slowly.
Wait until thoroughly dry be-
fore wearing.

DECORATION OF WHITE SCARF
Bright Embroidery Is Employed With
Miraculous Effect-Hat to Com
plete the Outfit.

All of the Czechoslovalzian en-
broideries and those from Russia and
eli of the coIorful countries are being
applied to white scarfs with most
miraculous effect. The scarfs them
selves are made of the loosest of hand
woven homespun done in either thin
wooden or thick silken threads.
Then on their ends for space of
about ten inches there is arranged
solid mass of embroidery taken from
the peasant art of one of these coun-
tries. The sembroideries are about as
inspiring as anything you can think
Of They fairly scream Joyfulness
of life, and when they are imposed on
the pure whiteness Of the homespun
background they are particularly at
tractive for the purposes of the mod
ern girl and her activities in sports.
Sometimes there are hats en-
broidered to go with these scarfs that
fling about the throat and again they
are worn by themselves, but when they
are added to a pure white costume,
either with or without hat, they add
enough distinction to make that suit
look as though it were chosen to go
among those preferred by the gods.

VARIOUS HINTS ON BLUINGS
Prussian Blue Is an inexpensive soIu-
BILE Salt of Iron and Easily
Decomposed.

Bluings differ in composition as well
as in form, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The COM
monest bluings are Prussian blue, ami
line and ultramarine. Indigo is now
rarely used. Bluings in solution color
fabrics more evenly than does bluing
that is merely in suspension. Prussian
blue is an inexpensive soluble salt of
iron. It is easily decOmposed by soap
and if clothes are not thoroughly
rinsed iron-rust stains may appear on
them when ironed. Bluing can be test
ed by adding strong soapsuds; if the
color changes from blue to yellow, iron
Is present.
Apiline blues are also soluble in wa
ter and are probably the most salts

bic. 1t is sold in balls or, cubes. When
used, the water must be kept we'll
stirred to prevent the bluing from spot
ting or streaking the clothes. The

lin or flannel so that only the very
finest particles may pass through,
should be soaked in bowl Of water

es, crepe de chine, georgette and tat

edged ribbons and gay little punches
of ribbon flowers, or tiny fruits, are
prominent. The heavier crepes are
also used and frocks Of these crepes in
bright red, sometimes with strap trim

Bright red is liked for party frocks of
georgette or light crepe de chine and
petal trimmings are used on them, the
petals of the same material and hav-
ing picot edges. One color and one
material is safe guide to follow in
making party frocks, especially in
vivid shades, and georgette or crepe

H0USEKEEPER CAN SAVE GAS
Simple Rules Suggested by Depart
ment of Agriculture for Conser-
walton of Fuel.

A number Of commercial gas savers
are on the market, but the housekeeper
can save an appreciate amount of gas,
says the United States Department Of
Agriculture, by following two simple
rules:
Have the tea kettle, saucepan or
skillet in place before lighting the gas.
After boiling begins, turn down the
fame to the lowest point that will keep
the food boiling. Furious boiling does
not hasten cooking, and often the tex
ture and flavor Of food is ruined by
such treatment.
Gas can also be saved by watching
the baking carefully and turning off
the gas a few minutes before opening
the oven to remove the food. In some
cases the baking will continue for ten
TO fifteen minutes after the gas has
been turned off.

it is in handsome appearance that they
make their greatest appeal. They add
a decidedly up-to-the-moment touch to
ones street or sports costume.
School girls delight in wearing these
long knitted gloves with their slip-on
sweaters. They are popular not only
for sports wear, but pulled up over the
snug cloth sleeve of ones tailored suit,
the knitted glove presents the chic Of
a Partisan mosquetaire.
Various styles are represented in
these knitted gloves from gauntlet to
long close-fitting types. They range
from plain-knitted stitch, perfect fit
ting, to exquisite types in brush wool,
which have in their fine finesse no trace
Of clumsineSS.
A few knitted glove suggestions are
represented in the accompanying Illus
tration including: pair Of brown gaunt-
let knitted gloves with buff border |;

There's nothing better than good, rich
cream for whipping, says the United
States Department of Agriculture,
which points out also that whipped
cream is not merely a garnish, but a
valuable. food which deserves to APP
pear frequently in the menu.
Brides cookery" as one skillful,
economical housekeeper scornfully
intimated, is apt to be dressed up
with whipped cream to cover culinary
shortcomings, or because it is an APP
petizing delicacy, easy to prepare; but
when properly selected, whipped cream
need not be considered a luxury, since
it adds to the food value Of the dessert
or other dish in which it is used.
Whipping Quality Tested.
Extensive experiments by dairy spe-
cialists in the department have shown
that raw cream outranks any other
kind for whipping. While it will whip
fairly satisfactorily under certain con-
ditions when it contains only 20 per
cent butterfat, cream can be made
sitter and whipped in less time if it
is richer, with butterfat content of
80 per cent or more.
A Dover (rotary) egg beaten is the
only apparatus necessary to produce
good whipped cream. but the cream
should be kept as cold as possible at
all times. Its temperature should new
er be allowed to exceed As degrees

IN WINTER WRAPS
New Material Is Soft, WoolIy;
Covered With Designs.
AII-over Patterns Are Worked by
Hand; Less Expensive Cloth
Machine Stitched.

One Of the newest materials for
winter coats and wraps is soft and
woolly and covered all over with fam
tastic designs worked in raised silks.
At first sight this cloth recalls the
popular matelasse of last year, but
in reality it is quite another thing,
asserts a fashion writer in the Boston
Globe. The all-over pattern is worked
by hand in the best circumstances, but
less expensive cloth of the same order
is machines stitched.
A lovely little wrap made of this
new stuff is bordereG with loutre This
is one Of the ultra-short models which
have suddenly leaped into favor. First
we had hip coates and then pictur-
esque wraps which finish off suddenly
at the waist, as indicated in my draw
ing.
The sleeves of this model are so
wide that from the back they give a
cape effect. This is essentially a
youthful garment-just the thing for
a pretty girl to throw over her smart
dance-tea frock. 1t is warm, becoming
and comparatively easily made. On
the other hand it must be confessed
that a waist-length wrap is apt to
make its owner look a wee bit clumsy
unless she, happily, happens to be ex-
ceptionally tall and slender.
The same embroidered cloth is car
ried ont in two colors- bright blue
silks On a beige ground, or dark blue

CAPEs MAY SOON BE PASSE
Few Fall and Winter Models Are Be-
ing Brought Out by Designers;
Coats Favored.

Fall styles are now coming to the
front. 1t is interesting to note. that
coats make a determined effort to GUST
capes from the field when the wrap
question is to be decided. Few fall
and winter capes are being brought
out by designers, the tendency being
toward coats, and the majority of
these are belted. Some feature a nor
NAL waistline, others a low waistline,
with a good many bloused effects. in
evidence. Therefore, the woman who
possesses a cape should get all the
good she can out of it now, as the
early fall will probably find fashion
demanding that she purchase a coat.

points already familiar in modes for
their elders. Designers have appar-
emily concluded to appropriate as
many features of the mode as possible
in miniatures that promise to sell read

In fabrics they have given much at

Hair DRESSING.

In France women are dressing the
hair to make the head look as small
as possible. The locks are pulled
straight back and coiled at the neck
with the greatest simplicity. There Is
a tendency over there to keep the out
line of the head small, but the. hair is
arranged softly about the face. This
is much more fattering to the average
woman,

silks on gray But the best results are
obtained by skillful combination Of
neutral tints, light and dark beige,
gray or putty.
Without doubt hip-coatees and wraps
will remain in favor all the winter,
and in this connection the sack models
are most successful. Shaved lamb is
used for these little garments. The
skins are beautifully prepared and
dyed, some really wonderful tints
being obtained. Since the fancy of
the moment is for colored furs shaved
lamb comes in for considerable atten-
ton.
It is particularly successful in a
clear shade of pinkish beige, combined
with beige fox and lined with Chinese
blue taffeta.
Monkey-fur fringe has taken fresh
lease of life; it is used by our best
tailors and dressmakers-on day and
evening dresses alike.

EIGHT INCHES FROM GROUND
skirt Length Receives official APP
prevail Comfortably Wide
but NOT FIaring.

For street apparel skirts are to be
comfortably wide, but not fiaring,
about yard and half being the APP
proved width, according to fashion
writer. Eight inches from the ground
has the official approval with six
inches for afternoon frocks, and eve
ming frocks sweeping the floor, or at
least touching it.
These rules, slightly elastic, are
meant for mature women. Perhaps
the younger women will wear skirts

as during the last season or two.

For Eueninn Gowns

Brocaded materials of all kinds are
to make evening affairs gorgeous this
winter. Satins and velvets are being
shown today in richer brocades than
ever before and in more daring COM
binations of colors. One piece of satin,
for example, is in deep apricot bro
caded with vivid green. But of all the
new materials, brocaded crepe is the
loveliest and most pliable.

Fahrenheit. Aging cream improves the
results, up to the point when it tastes
sour. Cream in the city may be con-
sidered to be at least one dry old be-
fore it reaches the consumer.
Pasteurized cream will whip, but it
must be higher in butterfat content to
equal raw cream in whipping quality.
Cream that has been homogenized, or
broken up into tiny globules by means
Of pressure, will not whip nearly as
well; and if it has been also pasteur-
lied it's whipping quality is further re-
duced.
Use Sugar SparingIy.
Vanilla and other favoring extracts
do not seem to affect whipped cream,
but sugar added at any time during
the beating of the cream thins it.
Good qualify whips will keep stiff,
or stand up, for several hours if kept

better. Evaporated milk can be
