Unusual acceptances are being re-
ceived to the invitations sent out by
the House of Mercy for its "Phan-
tom Dinner" in February, it was
learned last night.
I'VE are thrilled with your idea of
a spiritual feast declared one letter
from two friends of the cause, and
desire to make our reservations early
that we may procure the table we
desire.

the letter continued, "and wish to
have the table of tolerance on which
to be served. The names Of our
guests are Love, Wisdom and Mercy.

spiritual in nature, but backed with
a substantial check for benefit OF
the House of Mercy, the Board of
Lady Managers will continue with
increased zeal this month to work
for success of their Phantom Din

served. AS a matter of fact, there
is no dinner at all, so the funds col

declared one member of the board,
'is that those who contribute share
it with those to whom they give. To

Welfare Of Mother, Child.
"We consider both the welfare
of the mother and child" said
Deaconess Lillian M. Yeo, who has
been in charge of the institution
for many years. "It is not always
best, in many cases not possible for
the mother to take her child when
she leaves the home, and she is given
the privilege of boarding the baby
here until she can establish her
self, and then we can decide with
her what is the wisest plan for her
to pursue. Giving the children thus
left in our care a good start in
life is an important feature of our
work"

Encouragement to right living that

to develop into good citizens that
other children have, instead of liv-
ing life of humiliation that could
scarcely fail to produce sullenness,
resentment and sooner or later
crime.

MRS. D. H. J.
Answer:
There are circulating oil heaters
which I think would be ideal for
you. They come In various models
designed for heating different sizes
of houses, and If your rooms are
communicating you will have excel
lent results, I feel sure. The heater
I have in mind is cylindrical, fin
ished in dark brown enamel. The
fuel burns in a deep drum shaped
pan at the base of the heater and
the flame Is regulated by a dial
which may be set at the temperature
you desire. 1t uses an inexpensive
grade of fuel oil. You may have
the fuel tank installed outside the
house and the small intake hose
can be adjusted to your heater so
that you need never fill the tank by
hand. The fuel man will fill your
large tank and 1t will feed into the
small one from there. Fuel should
not cost you more than $6 monthly,
except In very cold weather, and for
ease of operation and cleanliness 1t
is ideal.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I am planning to dye a bedspread,
which Is now pink, to plum color.
I think the material is either silk
and cotton or rayon and cotton.
Can you give me directions so that
I can get good color on this2
K. M.
Answer:
There Is nothing more dimcult
that you could ask me to do,
so If you do dye it and It comes
out satisfactorily, you may consider
yourself an expert and that I had
nothing to do with it! You use
one dye for silk and one for cotton,
which is the first difficulty. You
will be bound to get a difference in
tone for the silk will be deeper In
color than the cotton. The third
difficulty is that of all the colors on
the chart the purple and plum
shades are the worst to get as they
have tendency to go brown, blue
or red with the greatest of ease
So, would use both cotton and silk
dye in the same bath and expert
ment on piece Of the same ma
terial for color before you immerse
the whole spread. I wish you luck
and If you have success I would
love to know how you did it, for
1t takes time, patience and courage.

Is it safe to send these to a rug

may be used at home?

The reliable rug cleaners are
equipped to handle your hooked
rugs safely and wisely. It Is a good
plan to send them once a year, even
If you wash them yourself In between
times. The rug man has rollers on
which he runs the rug, 50 that the

crochet, lace, beading and rufhes are
applied with a lavish hand. Satin
nightgowns with tiny bustles share
the spotlight with long-sleeved ba-
tiste gowns that look like something
your grandmother considered FASH
ionable. And on top of all that,
panties-and we don't especially
mean briefs-have returned to
favor!
THE sudden demand for lace-trim-
med ruffled and befrilled panties was
explained to us in one shop as the
result of the new corset mode.
Mainbochers menace, as we like to
term the laced corset, is cut very
high over the hips, requiring panties
skirted dresses. Some of the newest
ones come in two lengths and are
made of pure silk shirred with
elastic yarn. The legs have ruffles
and beading around them, and the
panties fit snugly enough to be worn
under your evening clothes. Some
. of the shops have a few slips made
with the same shirring in the bodice.
Slips Have Several
New Features.
Slips, to our mind, are really MAX
ing news this fall. For one thing,
they are often cut with full skirts
and nodded waistlines to follow the
fashion silhouette Some have in
serts at the midriff to emphasize this
corseted effect, and almost all are
trimmed eXtravagantly. Camisole
styles have disappeared, due largely,
We suppose, to the fact that sheer
Blouses are restricted to spring and
the need for camisoles is therefore
lessened. Rayon taffeta slips in
brilliant colors, including the new
bright red, are popular, and the ma
jority have faring skirts edged with
ruff1es. In the line of petticoats, we
saw a black rayon taffeta with a
checked ruffle and bright red bead
ing which would be perfect under
plain black dress.
But perhaps most important to
chronic strap breakers is the news
that slip straps are much wider and
consequently more secure and COM
Portable. They are often made of
the same fabric as the slip or else
are done in satin. This is one
much needed improvement that the
camisole gave us, and therell be
many praises sung for the idea.
