Should Wash Blankets Before Storing
Observation-Disclosures

tPrepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Most hOusekeepers like to wash
their blankets. if possible, before stor-
ing them over the summer. In addi-
tion to the satisfaction of taking out
your winter bedding clean. fresh. and
ready to use. washing the blankets
before storing them is good precau
tiOn to prevent moth damage. since
moths do not attack clean woolen
articles as readily as soiled ones.
The bureau of home economics says
to wash blankets in lukewarm suds
made of neutral soap and rinse them
in several lukewarm waters. Soft
water is best. but do not use water
that has been softened with large
quantities of strong washing powders
If anything at all besides the soap is
put into the water. use borax or am
mOnia. Also. do not rub soap right
on the blankets, hut dissolve it in the
water and put the blankets into
large quantity of this lukewarm suds.
WOOlen materials absorb a great deal
of water so you will need more snds
than for COTTON. linen or other fabrics

De Rivera's Hoodoo

The late Primo de Rivera had to
lose. Any Spanish gypsy could have
told him SO right off. His name was
composed Of 13 letters, the kingdom
he set out to save was that of AL
fonso Thirteenth and he began his
task on thirteenth day of Septem-
Der. Therefore Primo's fall before his
recent death came when he had been
76 months at the heinz plus 6 are

months and 13 days. Or, again,
after 1896 days. plus 3 plus 2 plus
6 are 13. OF the year 1891 plus
8 plus 3 plus 0 are 13.
Primo appointed 13 ministers. Put
1t as you will. Primo was doomed.
His day would come according to his
horoscope, said the superstitous An
dalusians, Primo's countrymen, who
cross their fingers hastily at the
sight of one-eyed man or lizard
and invoke Saint Maria to protect
them.

Cook together one cupful of water,
one cupful of sugar and one-eighth
teaspoonful of salt for about ten min
utes and add two tahlespoonfuls of
butter. Wash, core and pare four
large. tart. firm apples, and cut them
crOsswise into three or four thick
slices. Place the apple rings in a
single layer in buttered shallow pan.
Pour the hot sirup over the apple
rings. cover and cook slowly In a
moderate oven (35O degrees F.) until
the apples are tender. Remove the
cover from the pan. continue to cook
the apples until the sirup becomes
thick and slightly Drowned. and turn
the slices occasionally. If the rings
are cooled and served with cold cuts,
a candied cherry in the center of each
ring makes the dish very attractive

Reuiue Fashions Of the Far Past
By

missing in this campaign for the fem
mime and the picturesque which is be-
ing so enthusiastically waged through
out all fashionland today!
Seeing that our present-day fash
ionists are turning to the modes of the
far past in their quest for the be-
witchingly feminine. the revival Of

Is there any fabric more lovely,
more enchanting for the fashiOning of
her prettiest gown than exqusitely
sheer and delicately embroidered ba-
tiste? II so, history fails to record it.
The adorable gown in the picture is

ers trailing from the waistline at the
back, the enormous sheer hair cape
line trimmed with pale blue ribbon.
these are all details which bespeak
the new-thought idea-to be chic is
to be pretty this season.
And if you are wanting just a touch
of embroidered batiste rather than an
entire frOck of the same, you will
find it in the berthas and capelets,
and fichu collars which impart such
charm to the new afternoon frocks of
taffeta or gay print weaves. They
seem to possess magic power, these
lovely embroidered neckwear fancies,
Transforming even the simplest little
silk cotton or light novel frock into
costume of alluring femininity.
smart note in connection with the
charming wide cape-like collar of en-
broidered batiste which is now so
fashionable is to fasten it very primly
in the front with quaint little bou-
tonniere.

HINTS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS

A mirror may often be used instead
of another light to brighten a dark
corner.
A child should have at least two
hours of outdoor sunshine daily, or
its equivalent in codliver oil.
A little cold water and prompt ac-
ton will remove many stains which
later might cause much trouble.
Castors added to the kitchen table
and the wood box often save time
and effort, especially when the floor
is mopped or during the canning sea-
son.
Now is a good time to plan the
outdoor play equipment, which the
children will enjoy so much in the
yard this summer. Sturdy ladders,
see-saws, swings, and slides all help
develop muscular growth, bodily
strength, and poise.
