Buttons are attractive, but large
ones are generally undesirable from
the standpoint of washing and
ironing. However, 1t Is possible TO
obyiate the objections to buttons by
having the buttons removable. 1t
is simple enough for any one to at
tempt. Two buttons are joined
loosely together by a strip Of the
dress material or strip of tape. One
is then slipped through the two
bound button holes which rest upon
each other, one button remaining on

wish to emphasize, first, that both
washing and drying should be rapid.
Use a neutral soap and use 1t in
flake or jelly form, so that 1t will
go into solution readily. Do not
rub the cake Of soap directly on the
fabric. Use sufficient soap to make

an excess. and have the tempera-

not use any water softener like
washing soda, as it might start the

times or until the soapy water is
entirely washed out. Use warm
water for this-avoid high ternpera-

Cotton is an ancient textile fab

history dates back to 500 b, c., a
history in which color and design
have played an important part. 1t

one of the most recent ievs.op-

indeed, a great boon to the house.

annoyed by the perplexing prob

hardly expect to be able to do it
by merely soaking the fabric for A
short while in a solution OF salt
and water.
Color has always played an i'm
portant part in our daily lives. and
it is particularly expressive Of our
personality in our wearing apparel.
Even the gayest of lovely colors, if
suited to our coloring and per-
Aonality, can be worn becomingly,
and they have a tonic effect upon
Us that we do not always fully APP

fabrics are becoming more pre-
dominating factors IN our dresses
than fleeing fashions which pass
by night Let the color and
texture Of the fabric, then, rather
than the trimming, beautify the
dress and make for its effective
ness.
But can we get these colors in
cottons that will not change or
fade out? In purchasing cottols
you will find two kinds of fast

literally fast both to tub and ex.

colors which may fade somewhat
in Tubing and probably consider

there are fugitive colors which will

yarn-dyed cottons, such as those
used in pattern goods, have for
years been made OF fast colors.
However, the institute has found
through investigation that PLAIN

then, to obtain a clipping Of the

Kitchen Electric Fans
Scientific Advice in the Form of Practical Information From
About the Care and Use Of


The value of the electric fan
has long been appreciated in other
parts Of the house during hot sui
try weather, but a few housekeep-
eTs have tried it as an all-year-round
piece OF equipment for the kitchen.
IT is particularly easy to install and
requires but lamp socket outlet
for its electrical connection. 1t does
not represent the large outlay of
money that some of the other venti-
lators do. In view of the fact that
an electric fan can whip up air
and blow the doors and heated air
away. yon can readily see why 1t is
excellent for kitchen use.
A ten or twelve-inch fan is ample
for the average kitchen. Some fans

service. The location of it, how
ever, is most essential. 1t is best
located directly opposite a window
so that II can blow the room air
directly toward the window, thus
keeping the cooking doors from
penetrating the living quarters Of
the house. The fan should be
mounted on the wall or on a
bracket shelf about seven feet from
the floor. well out Of reach of
children and the fan itself protected
from injury.
The fan is one of the cheapest of
all household appliances to operate,

costing about a half cent per hour

cents per K. w. hour. Surely this
