of the fittings warrants this extra ex-
pense on their part.
Boudoir Pillows.
- 1t has become customary to have
boudoir pillows initiated. These pill
lows are sometimes called head" or
"slumber" pillows. They are the small
and downy pillows that are used to
tuck under the cheeks of sleepers and
give their heads exceptionally soft
resting places. They are apt to be of
silk, with the finest of lingerie covers.
In the tops are lace initials or perhaps
their letters are embroidered or done
in extra fine cross-stitch. There is
usually some lace or cutwork through
which the silken lining shows.
Filet Initials.
When ii comes to the initiating of
boudoir accessories such a these pill
lows and also of vanity sets, etc, filet
letters are excellent. Two of these
letters are given today. They are the
ninth and tenth in the alphabet of Old
English letters that are being designed
especially for readers of this paper.
These letters are just the things to
use to initial boudoir articles in an in
dfvidual manner as suggested. They
may be done in filet. using a fine
thread, and be appropriate for boudoir
pillows. They may be crocheted in
heavier thread and be used admirably
in vanity sets. They can be worked
on Hardenger cloth and be done in
colors for cushion covers. They can
be worked over canvas and done in
cross-stitch. If the canvas is fine the
letters will be little, and can be used
for marking small articles. even hand
kerchiefs and handgerchief cases.
These initials are not VET ready for
distribution, with the working direc-
tions for f1let. If YOU are interested
in them watch for the press announce
ment stating when and which ones
are ready. Some will soon be off the
press.

Medicine Stains.

Bed linen will often become stained
with medicine during illness. These
marks will frequently not yield to
ordinary washing and should always
receive special treatment. It is a good
plan before the linen is washed to
put a paste formed of fuller's earth
and household ammonia onto the
stains. The paste should be left on
until the preparation has dried and
can then be rinsed off in cold water.
If the first trial is not entirely sue
cessful the process can be repeated.

NY Neighbor Says:

When baking squash, wash it
without cutting, put into the
oven and bake until tender.
Cut, remove seeds, mash and
season with butter, cream, salt
and pepper. All the flavor is
thus left in the vegetable and
the tiresome work of getting
the. squash ready is eliminated.
When ironing lace, embroid-
cred garments or bedding. or
any kind of initialled handwork,
have piece of an old Turkish
towel fastened to one end of
the ironing board to lay these
pieces on.
When a liquid which evapo-
rates quickly is used to clean
any article of clothing, place
a clean white blotting paper
under the soiled portion to keep
the liquid from spreading over
too much of the article.
Dark linens should, after
washing, be carefully ironed on
the wrong side. Ironing on the
right side not only gives them
a shiny, shabby look, but also
causes the color to fade.
When using sour milk or
cream in making cookies or
doughnuts, mix them up the
night before and set them on
ice. They will roll out with less
-four. will be light and keep
moist much longer than by the
usual method
After cooking carrots until
tender put them through the
ricer, season and beat as one
does mashed potatoes. Even
those who refuse to like carrots
cannot resist them thus pre-
pared. A dash of nutmeg and
a bit of lemon juice will add
variety of flavor.

Mozart Opera
In The Ten Star
Series

T. Arthur Smith announces
another William Wade Hinshaw
opera production for January, in
Mozart's opera comique "Mar-
riage," which will be given In
English.
'The Marriage of Figaro" is
in fact one Of the best comic
operas ever written and it re-
mains as fresh and delightful
today as when it was first
written. The Partisan wit and
gayety of Beaumarchais, who
wrote the comedy are decorated
and adored by the vienesse
grace and charm of Mozart's
music.
In this connection it is inter-
esting to know that the COM
poser himself deliberately Sc
lected the comedy for operate
treatment. The then existing
form of opera buffe, which re-
lied solely on broadly comic sit
uations and caricature, did not
satisfy the artistic conscience Of
Mozart, who desired situations
of dramatic reality and inter-
esting and consistent deIinea-
tiOns of character.
