"Will It Wash p

Every woman feels q satisfaction
in knowing that she is wearing a
garment which may be washed salts
factorily. The knowledge that a
Summer frock must be dry cleaned,
while it does not actually lessen the
value of the garment, nevertheless
may cause the wearer no end of dis
comfort For this reason washable
silks and broadcloths are SO much in
demand for Summer. and Of course.
none IS more desirable than fast-col0r
linens and cottons.
Naturally, a simple, plain garment
Is the easiest kind to wash and iron
One which can be opened out and
spread fiat on the board is a joy to
handle A dress with kimono sleeves
Is especially easy to iron, because it
can be spread out fat in this way.
Many kinds Of trimmings make it
impossible for garment t. be washed
successfully. FringeS are likely to
fade and mat, and in other ways to
lose their freshness when put into the
water. Such forms of colored orna-
mentation as bands, emblems and
embroideres may run" and spoil the
appearance of the garment. Unless it
is possible to take the trimming off
the dress, there is indeed often risk
that the whole costume will be ruined.
Buttons used as trimming on a
wash dress often prove troublesome.
The crocheted ones frequently mash
and twist out of shape, while those
made of cloth over wood or metal
molds may become discolored or rust

HOW 1T STARTED
The Best Man.
By JEAN NEWTON.

Having a best man at a wedding is
another one of those customs that
have become so common that we SIM
ply tread the beaten path without
ever inquiring or even thinking about
the reason why.
The best man Is a relic of barbar-
ism. The friend who solemnly
stands up for you today will blush
when he learns the origin OF his Office
He will see blood on his hands. and
in his ears will resound the shrieks of
some fair maiden who cons ago was a
victim Of his brutality.
When marriage by capture, even of
another mans bride, was the fashion,
as it still is with certain tribes in
parts of Australia, the best man was
the leader of the gang. He directed
the operations of the other members
Of the expedition. and assisted the
happy man in finding and gagging
the object of his choice.
knowing the danger. a prospective
bridegroom took measures to prevent
his prize from being snatched away
from him at the eleventh hour. He
armed his escort, or. as we call them
today. his groomsmen.
All these groomsmen were called
best men" because they We're the
most powerful Of the BRIDEGROOM s
friends. But there was one special
best man" to protect his friends
bride, as he would help him steal an.
others. And it is in this capacity of
protection rather than as accessory
before the fact that the best man has
come down through time and stands
up" at your wedding today.

WHEN WE co SHOPPING
BY MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN.

stained Inferior pearl buttons tend
to chip and break.
A fussy, frilly style is always diff
cult to clean, and so makes a dress
that is less durable and serviceable.
A plain, short skirt can be done up"
much more quickly than a fancy one
Circular skirts stretch out of shape
very easily, and for that reason give
a great deal of trouble in ironing.
Pleating, tluting and ruffiing. while
tempting to the soul of woman, are
surely things which make the fiddling
not worth the tiddler's fee. It is an
interminabie task to press tucks
straight. and they are unsightly other
wise. Pleats require a great deal of
time to iron back in place success
fully, and frills must generally be
ironed into plain ruffles. Hemstitch-
ing and drawn work must be handled
carefully to prevent pulling apart.
White collars and cuffs usually need
laundering before the rest of the gar
ment is soiled, and 50 it is a conve-
nience to have them only basted on,
for ease in removing.
Laundering is a great strain on
clothes, at the best, and the only way
to be sure that garment will stand
up under so much rubbing and press
ing, is to see that the workmanship is
of the best, all stitching firm, seams
strongly sewed, and buttonholes Sc
curely finished. Remember that a
wash dress must be fitted somewhat
more loosely than one which will be
dry cleaned. Practically all tub ma
terials shrink some in laundering, and
the only thing TO do is to make al
loWance for this in buying. Inexpen-
sive materials are likely to shrink
most, however, because the threads
are very loosely woven and the wash
ing causes them to draw together
When cloth has been heavily sized
and calendared. some of this dressing
comes out in the washing, and may
leave the frock rather sleazy and
stringy-looking. In such cases much
can often be done to restore the fresh
appearance of the garment by careful
starching.

Assistance Given by Testing Spoon
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

been used, it will cling. There is no
need that the spoon be the same one.
1t may vary several times a day or as
many times as food has to be tested
during any given time. The name Is
transferable.
The use of the testing spoon is ex-
actly what the name implies. 1t Is
used to sample or test recipes when
ever the housewife wishes to be sure
the ingredients are correctly blended.
or to find out If proportions are right.
Or it may be used to assure the cook
that the desired texture or the quality
of the batter in a mixture Is what 1t
should be.
Sanitary Utensil.
The need of testing spoon VIII De
by every particular house
wife who follows sanitary precautions.
1t relieves the awkward situation that
is sure to arise without it, Of trying
to find out whether viands are right
without touching a mixing spoon to
the lips or without using the UP OF
ones finger in place of the spoon.
There is never cook who does not
have to taste foods being prepared to
see if the seasoned to taste" direc-
lions have proven exactly to her lik-
ing And how, pray, Is she to find
out this and other necessary things
about the flavor, etc, OF a recipe that
ia being put together, unless she
samples the mixture?
How to Use Spoon.
There is but one really sanitary and
cleanly method of tasting foods In the
making, and that is with a testing
spoon or some device that takes Its
place Instead of putting the stirring
spoon to the mouth and sampling the
concoction land this idea is a bit re-
volting), instead OF tipping the pitcher
and taking a sip of it's liquid contents
to be assured that in each instance
the flavor is just right, use testing
spoon. Put a few drops of whatever
the mixture or the liquid is into the
small spoon and sample 1t. AS the
spoon is not dipped directly into food
being prepared since wee portions are
put into it from the mixing spoon or
the pitcher, sanitary conditions are
perfected.
Testing VS.. Mixing.
The cook must remember that a
testing spoon should never be used as
a mixing spoon. When this happens
the object Of the utensil is annulled.
1t should not be put into the food but
food put into 1t The testing spoon
should have its place in every kitchen.
1t may be u kitchen teaspoon. or
sterling silver teaspoon. whichever
the housewife prefers-the latter,
probably, if she is fastidious. 1t Is
not the kind Of spoon, but the uses to
which it is put that makes 1t a Sani-
tary necessity in the domestic SCI
ence of the home.
