TAKING OUT
SPOTS
by Hannah Wing
"A Recognized Authority on All
Matters Pertaining to House
hold Management.

q TRANCE grease spots are
- always appearing on shoes.
~ travelling bags, and the
many and sundry little cases
made of leather. These are usu.
ally caused by contact with but
ter, lard, vaseline, 'linseed oil,
salad oil, lubricating oils or the
many other forms Of grease with
which household leather has to
live in close proximity. Tn.
fortunately attempts to remove
these spots with gasoline or
other ordinary grease solvents
usually results in spreading them
and making a bad matter worse.
The newest and most efficient
method Of cleaning leather is
by coating the spots with a thick
solution of rubber in a solvent
that evaporates rapidly. AS soon
as the coating is almost dry 1t is
peeled from the leather, and un.
less the stain is obstinate indeed,
it will disappear with the rubber
coating. In stubborn cases It
may be necessary to repeat the
process several times until all
traces Of the grease spot have
disappeared.
Most Of the prepared rubber
cements are satisfactory and
easily used.
Sometimes the rubber may ad-
here too tightly, especially IL the
leather Is very soft. To prevent
this, wet the leather immediately
around the spot with water Just
, before applying the cement. The
sooner the spots can be attacked
after they have been made the
better.
Paint oils are especially diff
ficult to remove and should be
treated If possible before they
have dried. Once the oils have
cxidized they are only slightly
soluble in the liquids ordinarily
used.
This new method OF removing
grease spots from leather may re.
deem many a pair of otherwise
good shoes which have met dis.
aster in the Kitchen, either
through contact with paint or the
sputter Of basted oven roast or
an inadvertently, dropped bit of
fat.

as final to Jim as it did to me.
For a moment after Jim's sud
den telephone message telling Of
his still more sudden departure
for the South, my only feeling
was one of dull finality. Then I
found myself pushing aside the
question whether Jim meant his
good-by to be as conclusive as
it seemed to me in my apathetic,
don't care state.
II don't want to eat alone" I
ted myself, childishly.
So got up and went out to
invite Betty to come home with
me for dinner. Instead of giving
me a simple yes or no, she rose
mysteriously and whispered:
Let's wait until we get by
ourselves in your office to talk
this over"
When we were back in my
office, with the door deliberately
closed behind us, I saked: docs
the Lady Macbeth air mean you
can't come and are ashamed to
refuse my invitations twice in
one week?"
Betty smiled absently. Still
more absently she leaned over
and put her hand on my Shout

years as a stage star, l look like

Now, here is a big lesson for

that the real purpose Of the
course given is to serve human
nature.
The idea Is latent with power.
On examination Of the course Of
education here involved we find
the four great human interests
served; the play interest. through
well-managed athletics; the work

WHO SAID IT
AND WHERE

"The world knows nothing of its
greatest men,"
The personality of a great man
is generally so overshadowed by
his deeds that he soon becomes a
myth, Sir Henry Taylor reminds
us in Philip Var Artevelde."
"FOr himself doth q man work

societies for spiritual training
within the reach of all.
The young human nature Is
alike everywhere. In the city,
the village, on the farm, the child
character unfolds with the same
series of age-old cravings and dis
positions. To give wholesome
nurture to these basic appetites
and desires Is to train up a good
man or a good woman.
But you fail If you try to cheat
nature. There is no short cut to
learning. There is no fair chance

dine is right. 1t must be a bal
anced schedule. All the great
life interests must be served.
Every public school pupil
should be employed daily at soms
kind of brief routine work. Take
down the calendar and check off
a schedule of home duties for
your boy or girl. Mark both the
type of work to be done and the
time of day for doing it. Consider
as you Fix this plan of manual
employment that you are serving
the demands of human nature
and not merely the demands of
business. Make your boy and
girl both proficient in all the
routine duties of keeping the
house in order.

Better understanding Of the

requisite for grace and symmetry,
including symmetrically straight
