Secrets of Successful Wash

Is wash day still black cloud in
sunny sky? Perhaps you are not
making full use of modern convent
ences and modern methods of
laundering. You can't manage it
without plenty of soap and warm
water. You need hot water for
colored clothes and silks, and warm
water for rinsing. That is one Of
the secrets of successful wash.
Sometimes it is necessary to give
clothes preliminary dip in cool or
cold water before plunging them
into hot water. Albuminous waste
from the skin, holding oil and per-
spiration and other forms of soil,
as well as various stains from meat,
eggs, and milk, may be cooked in
the fabric by hot water and thus be
rendered difficult to dislodge. Espe-
cially in neckbands, cuffs and collar
bands is this likely to happen.
Therefore, each load should have
dip in cool or cold water first.
A short soak in tub may be suffi-
cient, but it is advisable to give
them short preliminary washing
in cool water to which soap solu-
ton has been added.

Jams and JelIies Help To Make
1881 Christmas Presents Useful

This years Christmas presents will
be useful, say those who set the FASH
ion in gifts.
Things to wear, things to eat,
things which come in handy around
the house, will carry the 1881 holiday
sentiment.
And many Of this years stockings
will be filed, fguratively, with hand
made, homemade presents-knitted
and crocheted articles, cakes, candies
and the like.
Jams and jellies, too, because of
the appropriateness of their colors,
and because almost everyone has at
least a few glasses to spare, are ex-
tremely popular as gifts this Christ
mas.
Mrs. r. B. White, of New York, is
one of those. who are keeping the
holiday sentiment by giving glasses
filled with her own jellies to her
friends.
In the photograph she shows just
what can be done with ribbon, crepe
paper, cellophane, trinkets which can
be purchased anywhere for a few
cents apiece-and her jellies. Mrs
White bought all of hers for ten
cents each with the exception of
the large basket which she had on
hand.
The doll hides, beneath her crepe
paper skirt, glass of Mrs. Whites
ederberry jelly, and becomes pre-
sent for young girl because in
the folds of the dolly's skirt are to
be found four light, fluffy powder
puffs.
The teapot is, temporarily, the
holder for a glass of strawberry jelly.
Later, when an elderly lady has the
present the jelly will be useful on
biscuits and butter to go with the tea
made in the teapot.
Mrs. White has tied, with bright
ribbon, set of measuring spoons to
a table jar of tomato relish, and
red tomato pincushion and straw
berry emery appropriately deck glass
of mint jelly
In her hand she holds a sewing
basket in which nests a glass of her
plum butter, and three other jellies

Dear Miss White:
81 have been going with a girl for
a year now, and we expect to be-
come engaged at Christmas.
81 make S24 a week, and it is sure
and steady all year around.
''Do you think it advisable to get
married on that-do you think we
could get along?
IF had $500 saved, do you think
that would be enough to get married
on and to give us a little start in
life? ANXIOUSLY WAITING"
1t all depends on conditions. If you
and your bride-to-be could make up
your minds beforehand that you
would spend S23 a week and save 81,
then you might be happy and con-
tented, il. you loved each other de
votedly.
But if you spend S25 every week,
or dollar more than you earn, then
the marriage might end in misery.
Love and debt never did get along
well together.
1t all depends on you and your
sweetheart.
If she can be satisfied with ging-
ham instead of velvet, and if you'll
smack your lips over a meal of ham,
burger steak when you might prefer
tenderloin, then you may be happy;
but if you go ahead and spend and
spend beyond your income, without
a thought of how you are going to
pay for the things, then it will be
impossible to make a go of it on the
salary you earn.
Five hundred dollars will give you
something on which to fall back, in
case of an emergency; and with pru-
dence your wife ought to be able to
manage.
There's one thing you'll have to
remember-that there are only 100
