Mrs. Newbold lie Roy Edgar
Is Chairman of the Dance
Committee.

"oR men who are without shelter,
r. soap and water are harder to
find than food, and with this in
view a group of philanthropic women
who have leading positions in the
world of society have decided to give
what will he known as sunrise ball
on the night of April 20 at TIE Am
bassador. The funds raised will be
devoted to starting stations In this
city where men who may have to PISS
the night i'll the parks will have a
chance to spruce up before trying for
jobs, as the appearance of cleanliness
has much to do with the success or
such applications.
These stations will be located In diff
ferent parts Of the city and will be
known as Help M sn to Help Themselves
stations. They will be open from sunup
to noon and everything about them Will
be free-shower bath, soap, towels and
razor blades. AS the overhead expenses
of the ball have been donated the re-
ceipts all will be given to the fund.

Because it actually prolongs the
life Of priced possessions, ii IS t,Hs
economy to buy an electric Uacuun

A convincing demonstration can
be made in your own home by
your dealer or lighting company.
Take any rug that has been
thoroughly broom swept and then
90 over it with the electric vacuum

the amount of grit, dirt and for

Riot of Color in Juvenile Frocks
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

When adults forsook black As the
universal. costume, youngsters for
sock white. Even pastel shades
went by the board.
One special thing the nursery will
not permit, which Is for the grown
ups to get ahead Of them in fash
ions. They point with pride to the
outstanding fact that they have led
the fashions for . decade and they
do not propose to let leadership pass
from their hands. If colors are to
be the style, then, say they, who is
better entitled to wear them than
there.
Not only have they eschewed all
white, but they have cast muslin
into the discard, putting any fabric
of the hour into its place. They like
crepe in its opaque and TRANSPARENT
gayer. the better liked. They do not
overlook the curious and enticing
designs in ornamentation provided
for their elders. Openwork. en-
broidery. in tinsel. q bit Of crystal
high, not low. applied pieces Of col
ored closh in happily thoueht-out
designs are among their favorites.
Look at the frock sketched today.
1t has nothing in common with the
children's clothes of recent years.
1t is of blue crepe embroidered in
pink. The design has a Grecian
simplicity and Is run in bands about
the tiny gown. And do not overlook
the cape which youth has borrowed
without apology from age. 1t is
part of the gown and It ripples down
the back as If the Wearer were
sophisticated member OF society.
There is also the sleeveless effect
admired by age. The young arms
have far more right to protrude from
the armholes guiltless of covering.
than most of the other arms which
are in plain view Of the public all the
day The boat-shaped neckline is a
child's by rights. And the poke bon
net Is reminiscent of sunbonnet days
under hot suns where bees hum and
daisies bloom.
This poke bonnet. by the way. is
built of the fabric Of the frock and
trimmed like 1t. It is also made of
gingham, or linen. or calico, prefera-
bly, the latter for any child who Is
to spend the days of the city streets.
It's a return to first principles, shade
and GOODNESS, for the head in hot
weather.
There is a decided change in the
silhouette from the long wasted
days Of childhood. The little belt of
the present hour is as near midway
between the neck and hem as the
line of balance permits. Skirts are
so drastically abbreviated that it

Things That Perplex.

Is that done" believe that the fol-
lowing bits OF information may prove
helpful to the housekeeper:
TO Clean Marble (this answers Mrs.
e. ks inQuiry).-Mix together one
ounce OF salt and two ounces of COM
cold water, and pour the mixture over
the marble. allowing 1t to remain on
for five minutes. Then wash it off
with salty water, rinse with cold
water and wipe dry. If the marble
is stained. however Gnstead of just
ordinarily dirty, it will need this
more drastic method: Mix one part
oxalic acid with ten parts wood al
cohol and pour this mixture onto the
marble, letting it stay on for a few
minutes, then rinse off with water to
which you have added a few drops
of ammonia, when the stain should
come off. too. Rinse with cold water
and wipe dry.
To Polish Gilded Wood.-Polish
with a clean chamois which you have
spri1kled with little alcohol and
dipped in sifted whiting. Blow the
dust from deep carving with a hand
bellows, or apply a vacuum cleaner.
To Remove Cigarette Stains From
Brass and Copper.-Apply denatured
alcohol with a brush.
To Polish Copper and Brass Orna-
ments this answers "Newlywed"D.-
Mix three tablespoonfuls of -four
with one tablespoonful of table salt
and wet to a paste with little cold
water. Rub this On the ornament
and rinse with hot water, drying
well. Another good polish for brass

Why Doctors ordeF Turnips.
Home Garden Advice.

With a better and clearer UNDER

important place as an early summer
vegetable, and is sown in the spring
with other early vegetables instead Of

when they have reached full maturity
and with no chance for them to be
plthy or woody.
The turnips do not like hot weather
any more than do their close rela-

the same time as the radishes. They
stand considerable frost without harm.
BY an early planting q crop of young
trrnips will be ready for the table by
the time the follow crop for fall con-
sumption or. for winter storage is
ready to be planted.
For tenderness, they require good
cultivation and to be kept going at
top speed for the early crop. The la
ter crop does not require the same at
tention. as the plants grow more
slowly and attain greater size. They
will be hastened. however, with care

the moisture in the soil. During long
dry spells the young plants remain
the bulk of their growth during the
cooler days of fall.
The turnip, like the cabbage. de-
mands rich soil for its best develop
ment. Include some OF the newer and
finer types of turnip in your early
planting plan. They will be very ac-
ceptable just as the earlier vegeta-
bles are on the wane, and furnish a
transition between the early and mid
summer crops.

Have you been taking tonic this
spring? If you haven't it is not too
late to take one now. After the
starchy diet OF the winter some tonic
should be taken to thin the blood.
Great numbers Of girls always write
me at this season and complain OF
pimples. though they say that their
skins are normally clear. The only
trouble is that the blood has become
rich and thick (as 1t must to resist
the cold of the winter), and now aftet
few weeks of warmth when the
body need not generate SO much heat
in itself the skin breaks out with
ugly and sometimes, rather sore erup.
tions.
Personally. I know Of nothing more
effective than the simple old-fash-
ioned tonic Of our grandmother's day.
which I recommend faithfully every
spring. 1t 10 made BY mixing one
sulphur. with two tablespoonfulH of
moIasses or sirup. The dose is a
tablespoonful a day for three days,
then three days when none is taken,
then a teaspoonful day is repeated
for another three days. and. If the
skin is quite bad. after three days
rest, three more spoonfuls are taken.
The first effect probably will be to
bring out several unexpected erup-
tions on the face. but these will go
away quickly. do not know of any
tonic that will give the skin such a
clear. creamy color as this. 1t is sup
posed to act upon the liver and kid
neys, as well as the bowel system.
This takes from the blood all i'm
purities, thins 1t and tones up the
entire system.
Another excellent spring tonic con-

difficult to eat. Carrots chopped fine
and boiled will do.

much harm in using lip stick, but
few people would indulge in it, except
for an artificial light, and then it
should be done very delicately.

To Freshen Colors in Rugs and
Carpets (this answers Mrs. RS in

one part oxgall to two parts water
or sponge with strong salt water.
Still another method is to apply
water containing one teaspoon or
household ammonia to the quart. Too
strong a solution of ammonia some
times alters certain colors In the car

by sponging with vinegar and water
