Stains.
, Stains are bugaboo of the woman

There is way to remove every
stain. To be sure, some stains are
very persistent, and don't come out
| easily, but 1t is worth while persisting.
| And 1t Is, above all, worth while find
ing and using the right way to remove
the stains.
1t Is fact not known to everybody,
put a TACT just the same, that clothes
that are Soiled are harder to wash
When they have remained soiled for
some time. Many sorts Of stains are
oxydized into the material as time goes
on and are much harder to get out
after many days have passed than
When first acquired. Even perspiration
II allowed to remain long on a garment
peicre washing, forms darker, more
tenacious stain.
Coffee, tea and chocolate are among
the stains that become set. These
stains should therefore receive i'm
mediate attention. If they do, they
come out with the greatest ease. But
II they once get thoroughly dried into
the fabric, they are really difficult to
get out.
The material with the stain of one
OF these liquids should be spread
loosely over the top of a bowl, and

One kind of difficult stain that can

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.
Not a Paradise.

Il will not henceforth drive any from
before them of the nations which Joshua
left when he died; that through them
may prove Israel, whether they will
keep the way Of the Judges, Ii.
21-22
This is Gods world He is the Lord
of all things, and by the exercise of His
authority and power He could sweep the
world clean of all evil and evil in
f1uences. Why does He not do it? He
is our Father and certainly He desires
the good and happiness of His chill
dren Why does He not turn the world
into a paradise, SO that His children
may live innocently, free from trouble,
free from temptation, free from all
possible contamination by any vice or
evil thing? Why Goes He permit evil
to exist? Whv does He permit us to
be tempted? Why does He allow us to
be subjected to so many snareS and
dangers? Why does He allow so many
things in the world that seem to be
enemies to our wellbeing and reace?
The problem is one that has often
puzzled good people. 1t is a problem
that has vexed the minds of men in all
ages. The text points the solution to
it. Some of the Canaanite tribes we're
permitted to remain in Canaan after
the children of Israel had entered and
settled in the land. according to the
covenant the Lord had made with
them to give them the land for a pos
session. Some Of these pagan and idol
Worshiping people were driven out by
Joshua, but the tribes that were left in
the land when he died were permitted
to remain. Why? The answer is, That
through them l may prove Israel.
whether they will keep the way of the
Lord"
The presence of these idol worshiperS
would be a temptation to Israel to turn
away from God and become themselves
worshipers of idols, thing they had
often done before.
Would it not have been better. since
Israel was so weak, to secure for them
an environment in which they would
be untempted? 1t might seem so. ac-
cording to the imperfect wisdom of man,
but not according to the perfect wisdom
Of God. 1t was Gods purpose to make
of Israel, not merely an innocent nation.
but strong nation; and to that end
trial was necessary. If he had provided
for them a greenhouse shelter. they
would never have been anything but
weak plants.
This bit of history answers, by way
of Illustration, the questions We have
raised. To our finite minds the presence
OF evil in the world presents elements
of mystery. Yet we know that the
trials and temptations to which We are
subjected are ordained by perfect wis
dom-that God means them to prove
us and strengthen us. and to make us
worthy to be crowned as victors.

NANCY PAGE
/. Tricks in Making Some
; Tricky Beverages.
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

The graduating class was having
Its class Gay party. Because of the
times the refreshments were simple
fruit punch and cookies. But there
was something especially good about
beth the punch and the cookies. Since
Nancy had had a hand in planning
both perhaps you can add her wisdom
to yours.
In the first pace never try to
make a fruit punch without a basis
OF sirup. Cooking equal parts of
water and sugar, or half as much sugar
with water for 10 minutes gives a rich
smooth strip. Using this there is no
chance of discovering raw. undissolved
sugar in the bottom of the glasses.
This sirup may be cooked and kept
for weeks in the refrigerator
Ice cubes are better than shaved or
Clipped ice if the beverage is going to
stand fer some time. There is less
danger Of the ice melting too quickly
and disappearing and weakening the
long cold drink
These ice cubes may be of frozen
unsWeetened and undiluted fruit juice
not lemon-or of frozen sparkling
waters such as ginger ale.
AS the small blocks CT fruit ice
dissolve in the beverage they add a
pleasing flavor. Do not try to do this
with heavily sweetened juices or
sirups. They will not freeze because
they are too rich.
Thinly peeled rirds of washed
cucumbers used as curls in beverage
the rest of cucumber goes into
salads or sandWiches-adds a nice
touch. So do perky mnt leaves and
small wedges of lemon. Fresh mint
leaves crushed and stepped in hot
water for 5 minutes add flavor to any
beverage.
Cookies served with beverages should
be small and crisp. Heavily frosted
cakes or layer cakes are unsatisfactory
with these Summer beverages. Crisp,
sweetened crackers are acceptable
Pound cake and gingersnaps are two
other good foods to serve with the tall
filled glasses.

~ NE of the oldest places to
come on the great rhododen-
dron is in the neighborhOod OF
~ Occoquan. Lying as far down
river as it does, you'd never
expect to see there a bush that We all
think of in connection with the Blue
Ridge Mountains. Yet there it is, in
mountain plants like wintergreen. club
moss and the finest stand of hemlock
imaginable in this latitude. The roots
of the hemlocks descend right down to
the tidal marsh!
Our great rhododendron is called
great only from its size. to distinguish
it from the small rhododendrons in the
mountains. OF those We have none
here, and they are Spring blooming,
while ours is the last of all rhododen-
dronS to flower. While its heavy, dark
green, shining leaves and its big white
or pink flowers bursting from curious
brown scales, the petals lightly and
beautifully flecked with greenish dots,
it is as noble a Towering bush as we
can boast, and none the less attractive
to our Washington eyes for being scarce
here.
In the North Carolina mountains
rhododendron is probably the common
est of all plants. There are mountain
Gus tracts southwest of Asheville, abb
solutely uninhabited. where rhododen-
drons reach as high as trees. and so
thickly do their branches and stems
entwine that it is a common thing for
folk to get lost and die in sunless
rhododendron thickets. In the red
mud-spattered post Offices down there
l have often seen notices put up for
lost men, last seen going with hunting
rifle or fishing creel into the rhododen-
drcn WildernesseS. The notices, at first
fre1h, arouse some little interest and
head shaking. The years go by. they
swing dismally from one thumb-tack:
the dim photographs grow DINNER and
f1y-specked; one ceases to look at them,
knowing those faces as we'll as those of
the postmaster. Then the postmaster,
one day. will take down few of the
eldest to make room for new missing
men.

laurel by the mountain folk, and

rhododendron, which makes such a
grand sight on the Mount Mitchell

OF our native Eastern plants in Euro

The eels do the same thing, and after
they have laid their eggs both parents

Sometimes the parents travel thou
sands of miles to reach the shallow
waters of a mountain stream. They look
torn and weary. Nets and traps, spears
and bats, have been passed by or es-
caped successfully on the long journey.
In March or early April, the mother

BY the time the meal is finished. the
little salmon is rather frisky and is
