for woolens in proportion to their
bulk, than for other fabrics. Use neu-
trail soaps only, preferably In the
form of a solution or jelly. Do not
rub soap directly on the garment, and
never use strong washing powders.
Squeeze and work the sweater In suds

suds, and rinse in two or more waters.
Press out excess water each time, or
wiring through a loosely set wringer,
being careful not to stretch the gar
ment. Do not twist or wiring 1t in the
hands. One way of removing excess
water from a sweater and also to dry
it is to place it in sheet, suspended
cradle fashion, but the fiat pad which
absorbs such moisture as cannot be
pressed out is more satisfactory.
Sweaters, like all wooden articles
should be dried In warm place, but
not near a fire or in the direct sun
light. They should never be allowed
to freeze.

To drive dull care away, nothing
like lounging about in a designful,
StyIeful, gay pajama ensemble. In
order TO properly react on faded spirits
and tired nerves the print fabric which
enters into the making of the pajama
outfit must be colorfully befOwered
and artfully styled to the point of
flattering becOmingness. All of which
quite describes bOudoir and lounging
modes in the modern style picture.
Joy-inspiring and nothing less is the
ensemble pictured. Its gay flowery
presence is warranted to cheer the
atmosphere in any home. The bright

to the black satin trousers. The cuffs

accent the ensemble theme which re-

morning she had been greeted with
kisses and with hugs and with excla-
nations Of:

Around her breakfast place had
Oeen little sprays of green and bright
flowers here and there.
Then there had been the great
birthday table. OF course, later, there
would be party and Maggie's favor

and there would be games and all

But the great birthday table was
the most important of all. Only Mag

could measure hens or whatever they
wanted to measure-if they wanted
to measure anything.
AS matter of fact the table was
seldom used as a sewing table. An
other still smaller table did for that.
This table was used for Out-of-door,
back-steps meals sometimes, and it
was always used for birthday celebra-

were used until they all burnt out,
and they never did that on just one
birthday. They were blown out so
their grease would not fall down on
the fine iced cake.
And then there were presents upon
the table, every present wrapped up
so interestingly.
There were poems to be read and
speeches to be made, but last of all
came a thin, small present with a
poem attached to It.
The present was a pen holder and
it was being given to Maggie by her

gave Maggie present. The pen hold

and this was the poem of the pen
