Children Need Wash Dresses


prepared by the United states Department
of Agriculture.)
How many wash dresses does
little girl need when warm weather
sets in? Much depends, of course, on
what sort of garments she wears for
school or play-bIOomer dresses, romp-
ers, sun suits-and on how many of
them are i'm the wash each week. Sup
pose she puts on clean dress every
afternoon. as many pre-school chill
dren do, and wears it again next
morning at play. Or, if she goes to
school, pride usually demands fresh
dress every morning, and unless she
is an exceptionally careful child, this
means a clean dress. -.
So there will probably be about sew
en- little bIOOmer dresses or rompers
in the weekly wash, barring accidents
that may increase the number. There
should be seven others to take their
places while the first set is being done
up. one or more extra ones for emer-
gencies, and possibly one or two
"dreSS-up" dresses for special Occa-
SlbIlS. quite dn OuIHl, dllOSeIHeT, as
every mother knows. However, all
these dresses need not be provided in
any one season. Early in the spring
all of last years supply should be gone
over. mended hens let down. and any
other necessary alterations made. Per-
hapS only four or five new garments
are required at first. Others can be
added as need arises and new fabrics
are discovered in the stores. If cotton
dresses are worn the year around the
winter outfit probably has long sleeves
and high neckS, so unless they are be-
ing fast OutgrOwn ii is a good idea TO
put them aside for new ones, rather
than to alter them for hot weather
wear. Obviously all new dresses
should be made with a growth allow
ance in the hens, loose neck, wrist
and leg bands, and plenty of fullnesS
across the chest, so they can be worn
as many seasons as possible. One
consolation is that any of these little
dresses can be made very inexpensive

Authors Faith in His
Book Brought Results

Aspiring to be an author, Jonathan
Leonard wrote story of Cape Cod
life and submitted it to a publisher,
who promptly returned it, and there
upon he sent it to several other pub
fishers one after the other with the
same result, and finally becoming dis
couraged, at the age of fifty he set
about to print the book through his
own endeavors and by his own hands.
He purchased a small printing press
and set the type himself, printing two
pages at time until the work was
completed. Then he went out and
learned something about bookbinding
and bound 100 volumes, mainly for
the purpose of observing the formali-
ties of the copyright laws. The &C
emulation of volumes was distrib-
uted among his friends and finally a
copy fell into the hands of one of
the publishers who had passed upon
it before and he saw the merits of the
work and Immediately arranged for
another edition. In the meantime Mr..
Leonard had written another book and
the same publisher has contracted to
handle it also.-Exchange

All the little mice thought it a
wonderful scheme to have a regular
feast
But the family came home sooner
than the mice thought they would, or
the mice were SO enjoying their feast,
that they didn't hear them quickly
enough. for they scampered back to
their hiding place after they had been
seen and heard.
Some of them squealed in their
hurry to get along.
'The pantry is full of MICE" said
the family.

it," they said "We've been thinking
lately that things were being nibbled

"We'll have to do something about

Meanwhile the mice were saying:
"Oh, how careless were we to get
caught. They heard us, and now
they know that we are living here.

that's all.
"PeopIe are very strange, they
somehow don't like to have mice as

with them.
''It's very foolish of them not to
like us, but they don't so we can't
change their opinions"
"Well," said Mr.. Mouse, I'VE might
as well make the best of it. Besides
this has been a very nice home and
we have had very pleasant time in
it."

esjust as satisfactory as patent bags
if the ends are securely closed so no
moths can crawl into the bundles.
Clothes moths do not eat into paper to
reach clothing. Gummed paper can be
used to seal hat boxes or similar con-
tanners. Some naphthalene flakes or
paradichlorobenzene crystals may be
put in each package. The fumes, when
confined, will kill any chance larvae
that may hatch from unnoticed eggs.
Another good way of assuring one
self that the clothing being stored is
free from infestation, is to put it, after
the preliminary brushing, beating and
summing, into the trunk where it is to
be stored and then to fumigate the
trunk with carbon disulphid or carbon
teJrachorid. The illustration shows
how this is done. In this treatment
saucer containing the fumigant is
placed on top of the clothing and the
trunk is then closed and sealed The
liquid evaporates, forming a gas
heavier than air, that sinks down into
the clothing and kills moths and other
insects. About three tablespoonfuls of
carbon disulphid are used. This is
inflammable. like gasoline, and has II
disagreeable odor. so many people pre-
fer to use carbon tetrachIorid. The
gas from carbon tetrachlorid is neither
explosive nor inflammable, so there is
no fire risk in its USE About six to
ten tablespoonfuls are necessary to
fumigate an ordinary trunk.
Placing clothing in cold storage
vaults is sure way to prevent moth
damage.
