HOW TO WASH FEATHERS
By HANNAH WING

the tick into the chcesecloth bag. Sew
up the bag before you rip the tick
apart from the bag and you have
the feathers safely caught and fast
rncd.
Now wash the ticking thoroughly
inside and out. Rinse well, wiring and
hang up TO dry in the sun. For the
feathers make a solution of boraI
and water using n tablespoon of borax
to each gallon Of water, and use
plenty Of water. Put the checsecloth
bags of feathers into this and souse
them up and down until the feathers
seem free from dirt, using a clean
water for each bag. Do not rub the
feathers rs rubbing breaks them.
Rinse well and hang in the sun. This
implies that you will choose sunny
windy day to wash the pillows as
sun and wind not only help to dry the
feathers quickly and prevent them
from moulding but also do much to
Cnliven old feathers.
When the pillows are thoroughly
dry put them back into the cleaL
cases using the same method that
was used for taking them out. BE
sure to run the strong, close basting
thread across the ripped end Of the
tick before separating it from the bag
again. The tick then may be closed
securely.

The other day some one asked us
how to wash feathers. Our first i'm
pulse was to answer, why wash them ?
Dust them, use the vacuum cleaner
on them, hang them in the wind and
sun for nothing restores the rcsilicnCy
to feathers like sun and air, take off
the casing and wash it, transferring
to new cases the while, use muslin
slips over the cases and wash these
and you will seldom have TO wash the
cases.
All this information was offered
and then suddenly it came to mind
that sometimes feathers do have TO
be washed and the job is a difficult
one at best and requires care lest
feathers be lost in transit. or broken
or masscd in the washing.
If the ticking is not too soilcd
wash the feathers in their original
cases. If the ticking is badly soilcd
there is no use washing dirt into
the feathers so make as many slips
of heavy cheesec!oth as you have
pillows to wash. These chccSecloth
bags should be slightly longer than
the cases of ticking and one end OF
the case should remain unsewcd.
Next run Il firm bastinG stitch one
inch from end to end of each pillow
tick. Thcn-and not until thcn--rip
open the end of the tick. Basic to-
gcther firmly the Opcn end of the
tick and the open end of one of the
checsccloth bags, and thcn-and not
until thcn-rip ouc the basting
thread and empty the feathers from

Foxy Grandpa's
Stories
They Go to the Terrapin
Derby,

We got off the train in Kansas and
changed cars for Oklahoma. We were
going to the Hundred and One Ranch
and of all the excited little boys in
the world Bobby was the most excited.
We stopped at many stations all
along the line, and at every one Bobby
read with delight the big signs which
announced the Annual Roundup and
Terrapin Derby at the Hundred and
One Ranch.
What is a Terrapin Derby, Foxy
Grandpa? / didn't know that turtles
wore hats" said Bobby very serious
| ly.
laughed and said:
A derby is something besides a
hat, Bobby. A derby is n horse race,
named after the famous horse-race in
England which was started by the
Earl of Derby"
"POnca City," shouted the conduc-
tor and off the train we hustled and
into the automobile which was wait
ing TO drive us out to the ranch.
You must enter a turtle in the
Derby. Foxy Grandpa" said Mr.. Mil
Ter. who owns the ranch. There are
thousands of entries already and
you're likely TO win a prize"
That was enough for us. The next
day We were out in the woods hunting
our terrapinS, and it was pretty hard
work, for everybody for miles around
had been hunting turtles to enter in
the race. But Bunny is the best
woodsman in the world and before
night we each had our turtle, with his
entry number pasted on his back and
in the stable with the rest of the con-
teStantS.
Then out drove the judges for the
tcrrapin race in silk hats and looking
very serious and judicial.
All of the turtles were put in the
middle of the arena, with a big wire
net cage over them. The signal was
given to start. The cage was raised
and off in all directions went the
thousands Of racers. Such a sight you
never saw.
Such laughing and such excitement
you never heard.
He's won!' cried everybody, and
the cheers rang almost as far north as
Kansas when the judges announced
that number "701" had won.
"Bunny's turtle" We shouted.
Bunny didn't look very much sur
priscd and when ] congratulated him
on his luck he said:
at was a sure thing, Foxy Grand
pa. Ny turtle told me he knew he
would win. He said he could always
beat the fellow that won last year.
but nobody had found him to put him
into the race until did. I'll keep him
and groom him for next year. IT is
my opinion that he is the Man O. War
of this Derby"

The surest and quickest way to
make a failure of a man is to marry
him to q successful woman.
Nothing so effectively dims the light
of a mans ambition as to marry a
woman who is already in the lime
light of public popularity.
Nothing so weakcns the backbone
and takes all the pep and efficiency
out of a man as being married to a
capable and efficient woman.
When a successful lady lawyer,
writer or stage celebrity marrics a
fairly nice man, somehow he is so
dazzlcd that he just goes around in
circles from then ON, and never gets
anywhere.
If the same man had n little cling
ing vine to support, house in the

it, and two babies crying for shoes
and things, he'd be out hustling. striv-

The cruelest thing that n celebrated

him-and thereby rob him of all his

Sabayan Sauce
We begin to feel that we have re-
turned to the conventional meals Of
fall and winter when we returned to
a Sunday dinner commencing with
roast beef and Drowned potatoes. But
no meat ever attains greater popu-
Iarity and it is bound to put in its
appearance once in n while on every
mcat-and-potatO table.
We have had so many cold dcs-
serts that while such splendid peaches
are still to be obtained, | want TO
give a hot dessert for which they form
the base. So many housewives have
never learned TO make souffles-and
so many Of us who have are grateful
for being taught. In this column We
have had few of the substantial
soufflcs, such as cheese and salmon /;
among the sweet sOufflcs it is probable
that chocolate is the most familiar.
For the standard recipe for peach
souffle which is planned to serve six
persons, four goOd-sizcd peaches are
required. Boiling water is poured
over them and they are allowed to
stand one minute; then they arc
plunged in cold water, the skins re-
moved and the pulp cut into small
pieces. This is allowed to stand
while we cream one and one-half
tablespoons butter and work into it
one and Onc-half tablespoons flour.
The blend is added to the peaches
and they are heated over a slow flame
for five minutes. They are removed
from the stove and again allowed to
stand while the yolks of three eggs
are beaten until light and thick; to
them are added four tablespoons

The Rhyming

The Will.
By Aline Michaelis

There is a king VINO, lives with
every man, though he be potcntate or
priest or clown; he wanders with the
beggar's gypsy van, he dwells in
homes of men of high renown. He
can reject the bright and shining lure
of gold and lands, Of lofty place and
name to walk with peace and gladly
to abjure the sun of glory in the
fields Of fame. He can renounce all
gifts life prOffcrs him, can even turn
his face away from love, if love itself
should make one shadow dim the
dream he dreams, the vision he would
prove. Thus every man should take
his way. serene and joyous i'm the role
he can fulfill, with knowledge, though
his portion may seem mean. he goes
'nmpanioned by his kingly will.

they are turned into the peach

Finally the stiffly beaten whites
of the eggs are folded in and the
sOuffle turned into a buttered baking
dish. 1t is then baked in a moderate
oven 1925 dcgrccs) for 80 minutes.
1t is in the baking that the test
of a Souffle comes. In too hot al
oven it rises quickly and looks as
though it were baked, but if it is
removed from the stove it soon falls
into a sad and soddcn mass. BY
thorough, slow baking it becomes firm
enough to hold its shape well until
dessert is served. If the oven must be
higher than very moderate (32J de-
grees) on account of some of the
other dishes which are cooking, the
souffle pan should be placed in an
outer pan of water.
Here is the recipe for the

Grated rind of one-half orange.
Four tablespoons sugar.
One cup orange juice and pulp.
