Things Women Should
Know About Hosiery


Mock seams and a mock fit that will
not outlive the first laundering cannot
deceive the woman who is wise in the
ways Of hosiery buying.
1t is the cloudy, thickened ankle that
betrays the stocking that would mas
querade as something it is not. A
stocking to keep its fit must be seam
less, fitted in the knitting, or it must
have a genuine seam down the back.
In either case the threads will con-
verge toward the back, and the texture
of the stocking will be the same at the
ankle ias it is just below the hem.
A stocking that is shaped after the
weaving has the fabric crowded to-
gether at the angle. This makes 1t
thicker and darker. Also the threads
run perfectly straight with no converg-
ence. 1t is a simple matter for the
woman buying hosiery to lay the ankle
against the top of the stocking to COM
pare the texture and at the same time
examine the threads to see Wnether
they run straight or converge. me
woman who learns to do this lnsureS
herself against shapeless hosiery.

GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOR SOAP
soapbarl<, stafch or Bran Water May
Be Used Without Fear Of Injury
to Delicate Color.

When the action of soap is likely to
injure a delicate color, one may use,
instead, soapbark, starch water or
bran water, suggests the United States
Department of Agriculture.
SoaTbark, although not a soap. when
heated in water will form suds. To
prepare it for use, boil for ten minutes
a cupful Of the bark with one quart Of
water, and cool and strain the liquid.
The .'soapy" water may be used full
strength for sponging or diluted wash.
ing half of this amount IS enough for
one-half tubful Of water Since the
LIQUID is brownish, It should be used
only on dark-colored goods.
Starch water is especially good for
cleaning delicate cotton fabrics. This
is usually made by adding thin starch,
paste to the wash water. Water in
which rice has been boiled, if 1t is not
discolored, may be used instead. If
it is not desirable to have the material
starched slightly, 1t must be rinsed
in salt water.
Bran water, made in the same way
as soapbark solution, is useful with
colors that are likely to fade 1t does
not give suds, but cleans like starch
water.

Eggs may be poached and served on
rice.
Most ink-stains on linen can be re-
moved by rubbing with a slice of juicy
tomato.
A teaspoonful Of salt put in starch
when cooking prevents it from stick
ing when ironing.
A pinch Of salt put into the whites
of eggs will lessen the time for whip
ping.
A good salad is made Of canned
peaches, chopped nuts, cottage cheese
and mayonnaise.
Greens are improved If a piece Of
dripping is added to the water when
they are almost boiling.
To keep peeled apples from turning
brown while standing, cover them with
salt water.
When silverware becomes furnished,
place it in potato water and you will
end afterwards that It looks like new.

Do Not Do Too Much
Color and Design Work

1t doesn't need a great amount Of
labor to put the little touch of color. or
design that makes the difference in
home decoration. Sofa pillows shouldn't
be overloaded with either color or de-
sign. Too elaborate decoration has a
tendency to detract from the beauty of
an article instead Of adding to its
charm. Just a graceful little spray or
one large flower with stem and leaf, is
enough to add the needed bit Of bright
handwork, and it does not burden the
groundwork upon which it appears
The delicate stroke, the knowing
when there is enough and not too much
decoration is the subtle something that
we call art. It can be developed if the
needle-worker will study effects and
stop before she has overdone her deco
ration.

StOppage in pipes is often due to
hardened grease or to an accumula-
tion of hair and lint. The waste pipes
should be flushed thoroughly after
using, so that the waste is carried out
Of the house pipes and the trap left
full Of clean water. A trap in a waste
pipe is a curved section so arranged
that water remains in it and prevents
the passage of sewer gas into the
house If the water left in the trap
is not clean, decomposition may take
place and doors and gases may come
from the impurities in the water itself.
Precautions should be taken to pre-
vent oil and grease from going down
the waste pipe from the kitchen sink,
because being lighter than water they
tend to remain floating on the surface
of the water in the trap.

son coats, because, literally, they can
serve every ordinary purpose through
spring, summer, autumn and winter.
At this rate an investment in one OF
the pretty little fuzzy coats will repay

IF THERE is anyone privileged to

ton of her toilette, it is that happy
young persons mother. And the
mother of the groom will aspire to do

may not be youthful in appearance
that has little to do with the success
of their costumes. 1t is the poise and
carriage of maturity which lends to
them distinction that can dare to

boiling water The drain pipe from
the kitchen sink may sometimes need
stronger cleanser, even if it is thor
oughly cleaned and flushed after each
dishwashing, and for this purpose
caustic potash is efficacious, bat must
be used carefully the hands must be
protected and the potash must not be
allowed to touch porcelain or perez
lain-lined sinks, because it may de-
stroy the glaze One pound Of crys-
tails dissolved in quarts of water
should be poured down the drain.
About half an hour later the pipe
should be flushed with clear water.
Caustic soda, although sometimes rec
commended, is not desirable, because it
is likely to unite with the grease and
form a hard soap, that is difficult to
remove from the pipes. Fine scour-
ers may be used on all fixtures, says
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture. For porcelain and enameled-
iron fixtures kerosene and whiting are
especially good; the kerosene cuts the
grease and the whiting supplies the
abrasion. Some. of the commercial
clearing preparations used for enam-
eled and porcelain fixtures contain
scourers so gritty that they scratch
the surface, and thus make the work
of cleaning gradually harder. Nothing
coarser than whiting should be al
lowed.

PROTEIN IN EGGS OF

Need to Tire of Them.


prepared by the United States Department
of Agrtculture)
When the price Of eggs drops during
the spring months housekeepers gen
erally feel that the time has come to
abandon eggless mullins, one-egg cakes
and other dishes in which eggs were
sparingly used, and to give the family
a good deal of the needed protein in
the form of eggs. For the protein OF
eggs. like that of meat, milk and
cheese, is of such kind that the body
can use it to particular advantage.
Moreover, egg yolks are a rich source
Of iron and vitamin A.
Eggs can be served in SO many forms
and with SO many other foods that no
one need tire of them. In addition TO
the common ways of boiling, coddling,
frying and poaching, eggs can be used
in great variety of custards and
sauces, both sweet and sour. There
are also as many kinds of omelets as
there are tasty ingredients to put in
them. Peppers, cheese, tomatoes,
minced ham, chopped chicken, jelly
and parsley are all good additions to
omelets.
The uses for hard-boiled eggs are IN
Vulnerable. They may be cut up and
combined with cream sauce, or the
yolks may be put through ricer and
sprinkled over the mixture of chopped
whites and sauce, to make 'goldenrod
eggs" They may be made into deviled
eggs for picnics or supper by mixing
the yolks with salad dressing and sea-
sonings, and refIling the whites Dew
iled-egg salad on bed of lettuce is APP
petizing. or a plain egg salad may be
made by slicing up the hard-boiied
eggs and serving them with other
salad ingredients. A hard-boiled egg
seems to taste particularly good with
spinach, and is often used as a garnlsh
for that vegetable Egg sandwiches are
usually satisfactory and least dry II
the yolks are first mixed with salad
dressing and are then mixed with the
chopped whites.
MANY dishes calling for a number OF
eggs, such as souffles, fondues, TIM

Pack Your Furs With
Care for the Summer

Hang the furs out in the sun for
several days, then give them a good
beating and shaking up to be sure that
no moths are in them. Brush well. Boil
some faxseed, then dip a cloth in the
solution and wipe the furs with THIS
lightly. This will make the furs look
nearly as bright as new. Wrap a lump
of camphor in a cloth and place It with
the furs. Wrap the furs in news
paper that is without holes or breaks,
or in paper bag. Paste the edges To-
rether securely, or the furs may be
placed loosely in box. Paste strong
strin of paper over the crack left be
tween the box and its cover. It there
are no moths in the furs when placed
in the box they will be safe without
camnhor or tobacco. Another very
good way is to put the furs in strong
naper sack, tie the sack securely at
the top and store in dark place.
To dry-clean any kind of furs. first
warm some clean bran carefully in a
nan. stirring occasionally with the
hand SO that it will not burn; rub the
warm bran into the fur for some time,
then shake and brush until free from
the bran. You can do the work better
if all Innings and stiffenings are re-
moved and the article is spread out
fiat on a board or table.
Moths will not stay where there are
cloves. so put some cloves in the bot
tom of trunks and wardrobes, in the
folds of blankets and other wooden
articles, in the pockets of coats, ana
In other places where moths are likely
TO lodge. The cloves are agreeable IN
odor. and can be easily shaken OUT.

Neckwear Is in
Fashion Picture
Lingerie Collar Is Given
Prominence by French
Dressmakers.

No part of dress has had more in
teresting history than neckWear, writes
Paris fashion correspondent in the
New York Tribune. Few realize how
important part it has played in wom-
ans dress since the beginning of time.
Once upon time the size and splendor
of woman's neck ruff indicated her
rank or station in life.
During the three seasons just past
number Of French models which
proved to be sbest sellers" in this
country originally had lingerie finishes
at the neck and sleeves, shut in the
copies made here these were omitted.
Now that the lingerie coflar and cuffs
are given great prominence by the
greatest French designers we may hope
to see more made Of them in this coun-
try. A number of new French models
show interesting lingerie finishes.
Dashing high collars of lingerie ma
terials take their inspiration from the
Directoire period. Many black and
white combinations are featured in
these. Smart, high, plated frills or
double ruchings may have wide era
vat of black ribbon run through the
middle and tied in a bow at either the
back or the front.
Frequently net and embroidery are
combined in vests or guimpes featuring
the Directoire collar. The collar is of
white organdie, while the vest por-
tion. is Of tucked net trimmed with
futed white organdie.
A most fattering piece of neckwear
consists of finely plated standing col
lar and jabot Of organdie. A narrow

touches for this really superb dress!
