A soft brush. small and mar

to keep the polish from tarnish-
is another question. Brass and

In desperation some household
ers have even used shellac on
silver-other than flat pieces, of

silver is again polished. Even
shellac does not insure metals
against tarnish but it does hold
it at bay for several months.

NVHE soft coal situation OF the
vanishing winter has left its
mark on more than the laundry
bill. walls, woodwork. curtains
and draperies and rugs. 1t has
also made necessary an unusual
amount of silver polishing. Silver
services of every form have sl1f-

the sulphur in the colt coal
fumes and silver. The result is
the familiar yellow-brown discolora-

the sulphur in the yolk of eggs.
There are many fine silver pol

easier method resort to the "elec-
trolytic'' method in which alumni
mum, with the help OF salt and
soda, draws the tarnish from sill

found, removes no more silver
than polishing and is certainly
much easier. However. It gives
the dull, satiny finish, not the
bright FURNISH Of polish. 1t can
not, of course, be used on oxi-

The method is this:
Add one tablespoon each of

Ing about her little daughter,
Gladys. :,
What had come over Gladys
in the past few months? She
was an entirely different child"
the mother pondered. Instead
of her usual happy-go-lucky self
she had become a perious-minded
little prig. She dictated to her
younger brother, she criticised
her older sister. she suggested
ways and means of performing
duties to her mother and she even
went so far as to caution ner
father to wrap up warmly or to
wear his oVershoes."
And then the hungry young
Grahams arrived and the mother
too bus supplying their demands
to think much more. But later
in the afternoon she said TO her
youngest daughter:
Gladys, never see you play

you used to be together all the

said the mother as if to herself.
And the very next day Mrs.
Graham had confidential talk
with the school principal and she
convinced her that Gladys should
be devoting her time, aside from
her studies, to childish pleasures
and friendships. So she succeed

Joyce how sorry she was about

Gladys has thrown off her air of
