paper will capture the attention and
take the eye off such displeasing
sights as odd stacks of dishes and
the hodge -podge miscellany of shelf
objects so often present. This
heavy paper is practical and mex
pensive, 1t costs approximately 6
cents for feet and the upkeep is
almost nil. You just have to go over
it with damp cloth to keep it fresh
and clean. No tacks are needed;
after measuring for width, just fold
the border down and lay the paper
on the shelf, it will stay in place
nicely. The colorful edging is made
of two thicknesSeS of paper and is
specially processed to make it tear
resistant. There is wide selection
of patterns and color combination
from which to choose.
DO YOU HAVE AN OLD SUIT
THAT YOU SIMPLY ADORE? We
bet the material still is in good con-
dition, but the elbows ana seat shine
like an unpowdered nose. Correct?
An obvious, though neglected way
to lengthen the life of this suit is to
have ii renovated. How? There is
local shop that offers a process
which actually "renapS" the fabric,
thus eliminating the shine. The
process is effective on practically all
types of material. Those excluded
we understand, are yelvets, cordu-
roys and rayons that have been
scared. Although flannel, tweed
and camel's hair do not acquire a
true shine" the worn nap can be
treated and restored to its original
appearance. 1t is claimed this
process cannot iniure your garment
because no harmful chemicals or
acids are used.

Answering your call for help in

I, too, was troubled with these pests,
until I read about setting trap
for them and I have found it most
successful. Since you have s.
month-old baby I realize you have
the baby food jars, or cans that the
food comes in. Well, take these jars
or cans and cover the outside with
adhesive tape Fill them halfway
with flour and set around the house.
The bugs love flour and will leave
hiding places to get into the con-
tainers from which they cannot get
out. Keep jars around for long
time; for I have heard that it takes
years to clean house of these pests.
I have put the containers from the
basement to the attic, in trunks and
on shelves in cupboards, also on the

thoughts and your desires, and the
boy who might appeal to you now
would be anathema when you ar
rive at the years of discretion, and
that is what makes boy and girl
marriages SO hazardous.
This boy, who is starting to war,
will come back changed in many
ways. For one thing, he will be a
man, not a child any more, because
he will mature fast under the strain
and stress of the life he will have
to, lead. He will be disciplined,
hardened, wiser, experienced. War
may make him a better man, or a
worse one. Whether in his new
guise he will appeal to you or not,
you cannot tell until you see him
and get acquainted with him all
over again.
You, yourself, will have changed,
but not so much as he. He may not
fancy you any more than you will
him. So you are wise to- keep your
heart parked in safe place until
you know more about what you
want and the kind of man to
whom you want to give it.

LIBRARY PASTE?
WASHING FEATHERS.

From Miss I. M, WaShington.)
Some time this spring Mrs. B. C.
B. sent in formula for library
paste. I made a large jar and it
was good, but now after some time
has passed it has turned a brownish
color, all except the very bottom of
the jar. Does it always do that or
did I use too much carbolic acid or
did stirring it with a metal spoon
have anything to do with it?
For the lady who wanted to know
how to wash feathers 1 will tell how
I have done it. Select one of the
hottest dry days We have here. Take
the feathers out of the ticks and put
them in strong sack of any kind of
cloth which will not tear easily. I
used old cretonne. Swish the sack
(wel Sewed) around in the washing
machine or large tub in soapy wa
ter. Rinse in clear water. Squeeze out
all of the water you can. To dry, !
put large piece of wire fencing
over a large clothes basket and
spread the wet sack of feathers on
that. Put in the shade in an airy
place. Turn over frequently They
will get thoroughly dry in two or
three days and smell sweet, too.
