Pillows that have been in constant
use throughout the year may need
freshening. This is particularly true
if they have been used in sickrOom.
June is good month for any of the
work connected with renovating the
bedding, but especially the pillows
because Of the many mild sunny days
available when they will dry easily.
Pillows can be washed by either of
two methods, according to the bureau
Of home economics of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The first method of washing them is
without removing the feathers. Scrub
the pillow in a weak washing soda
solution, using q good suds. Repeat
in a second suds if necessary. Rinse
in lukewarm water, changing it two or
three times. If an extractor is used,
extract, and then dry the pillows on 4
sheet in a warm place, preferably in
the sun. Otherwise squeeze out MS
much of the excess water as possible
and dry in the same way. Beat the
pillows from time to time during the
drying.
The second and more satisfactory
way is to transfer the feathers to a
muslin bag two or three times the size
of the ticking by sewing the edges OF

Sheer White for Girl Graduates

Soon the "sweet girl graduate" will

"lightly" but seriously to the question

HINTS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS

About Good Things for the Table

are most important
Desserts should be something like
custard of different fiavor-prune

as well as ice creams and ices.
Never serve an invalid pie or pud-
ding which is rich and not easy of

are we'll and able to digest it. One
may purchase small cartons of junket

a spoonful will top the junket when
served. Have all such foods nicely
chilled and garnished.
little extra watchfulness will
save burning food, spelling the dish,
wasting the food, and disappointing
the diner, all worth while things to
bear in mind. Invest in a few ashes

Look at the cereal dish and note how
much is left in the dish. Using i

Caring for Mementoes

The perfect thirty-six" figure-or
that for any other measurement-is
occasionally found, but more often,
after buying a pattern of any given
size, adjustments and changes must
be made to suit the individual. A
woman may have large hips and
slender shoulders, or vice versa; eX-
tremely square or extremely sloping
shoulders; an especially wide or mar
row back; shorter or longer arms than
the average; longer or thicker trunk
in proportion to other measurements
than the standard, or some other odd
characteristic.
Changes can often be made on the
person, after cutting out dress and
basting it up, or on the paper pattern,
to conform to individual deviations in
figure. But unless these alterations
are transferred to a permanent pat
tern the fitting must be done
over and over again with each new
garment that is made. A better plan,
suggested by the bureau of home eco-
nomics of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, is to make
foundation or guide or permanent pat
tern in some inexpensive material like
gingham, cambric. or unbleached mus
lin. A gingham with a large check
is especially good for the purpose be-
cause the lengthwise and crosswise
threads show plainly.
Get a good commercial pattern of
your size, plain In design, with normal
shoulders, set-in sleeves, high neck
line and other standard features. In
cutting the material for your perma-
ent pattern make any obvious allow
ances, such as longer skirt for a
tall woman or longer sleeves. Baste
up the foundation pattern and try it
on. 1t has TO be fitted as carefully as
the dress you expect to make from it.
The shoulder seam is first balanced,
and then the underarm seam is ad-
justed. Fit the bust, hips, armscye,
sleeve, and mark the desired length
for the skirt. The neckline and arm
holes should be trimmed out until they
are exactly right, with a seam allow
ance uniform with other parts Of the
garment. Baste in darts where they
are needed, and, if necessary, slash
any sections which may need enlarg-
ing by having pieces inserted. After
the material is cut it is too late to
find that the back should have been
nn inch longer between the neck and
the belt. or that large bust required
a longer front section than the pat
tern provided for. The hem is turned
at the right distance from the floor.
While the fitting is being done the
hipline and natural waistline should
be marked, and the points at which
pockets should come If used. In some
styles of dress with pleats or insets in
the skirt 1t is desirable to know where
the knees come. When the foundation
pattern Is entirely fitted, sleeves as
well as body, it is cut down the CEN
ter front and center back. The Sec
tions are separated, and each is
stitched around with contrasting
thread-once to show the actual seam
