Every housewife at times has trying experiences with stains, but there are some common agents by which stains and discolorations can be removed, proved by home economics experts. Colored candle wax dropped on table linen can be eradicated by applying a, hot iron and two pieces of blotting paper which absorb the wax. Then the Tried using one teaspoonful of cornstarch with one cup of sugar in- stead of one and one-half cups when making chocolate fudge frosting. The frosting has to be cooked more slowly and stirred often but will be creamy 'and smooth. Tried making graham buns this When making buttonholes in baby’s dainty little clothes or any other thin material, rub a little library paste on the wrong side of the goods and let it dry. This will give a firmer surface to work on and will not stain the most delicate fabrics. If it is your task to sew a wide lace on a round luncheon cloth' or centre- piece, roll the lace in a tight roll and tie with a clean cord in three or four places. Wet thoroughly one inch at the bottom and when it is dry your lace will fall in graceful circles ready to be sewed. For a small group of about a‘ dozen or fifteen, Passing the Dollar is en- joyed by young folks. Seated in a circle, each person grasps the wrist. of the one sitting at his left. The right hand of everyone is free, except at the wrist. Then a dollar is taken by one and passed to his neighbor. The dollar must be continually passed, but carefully'enough that the person in the centre will have difficulty in lo- cating it. All hands keep up the pre~ tense so that one is continually reach- ing to clasp a hand on one side or the other. When the hunter in the centre locates the dolar, the one found clasping it must be the hunter and Passing the Dollar is continued. A larger circle calls for two dollars and two huntersâ€"L. M. S. A popular game among our young folks and one that any number may play has been one where the leader takes the centre with the group cit-- cled about her, either sitting or standing. She approaches one of the group and, pointing to her own eye, she says, “This is my nose.” While she counts ten, the one she addresses mnst‘respond by pointing to her nose and saying, “This is my eye." If she can respond, she keeps her place; otherwise she takes the centre and hunts another victim of slow wits. Touch any portion of the body. For instance say, “This is my chin." and be pointing to an elbow, and the re- sponse must be “This is my elbow,” while the speaker points to his chin. I saW a mock auto race the other evening that was a complete success. Groups of six were chosen, and as many groups could take part as there was room for the race track. Each group chose a car to represent. Then 9. relay race began. One of the group, representing a car, would race across the yard, turn a chair around, sit upon it, arise and turn the chair back again before returning home for the second racer to start. Five groups were represented, and you may rest assured that excitement rose to a high pitch at times. much excitement was a Clothespin race. Two lines of folks of all ages, and a bag of Clothespins for each line, a starter to see them off and the pins were passed down the line one at a time. The line that emptied its bag first won the race. If the game is played where seats are plentiful, the lines may ‘as well‘ sit down for the game. An apple race for boys amuses onâ€" lookers as well as the boys. Apples are placed on the floor or grass, one for each boy, and they must be rolled a certain distance and returned the boys using only their noses. ~ POINTS FOR THE NEEDLE WHAT SHALL WE PLAY PHAT HORRID STAIN About the Hausa HAVT YOU EVER DIT milk and 511231 ‘ver lit well floured board, nd when light bake When nearly ready brush tops with a cup M.

A VERY ATTRACTIVE COSTUME FOR MASQUERADE, FANCY DRESS AFFAIRS, ETC. Mothers are daily faced with the problem of preparing school lunches. It is hard to prevent the sameness from creeping into the menu and be- sides, many foods which children en- joy cannot be carried in a lunch bas- ket. The metal container with venti- lation holes is best for carrying to school because it can be scalded daily. Paraffin paper should be used for wrapping moist foods, as cake and sandwiches. J avelle water is a good commercial bleach, but it can’t be used on colored materials as it destroys color. Use only on cotton and linen. Make a solu- tion of equal parts of water and the bleach, soak cloth in it a few minutes, rinse well and in the last rinsing add a few drops of clear ammonia water. PLANNING THE SCHOOL LUNCH color is removed by soaking material in denatured alcohol for a few min- utes. Fruit, tea, coffee and chocolate dis- colorations are removed by holding the cloth taut over a bowl and pouring boiling water over the stain. A paste of borax and cold water, with much rinsing, takes out chocolate easily and usually grease spots yield to soap and hot water treatment. Iron rust comes out by applying a paste of table salt and lemon juice several times, alter- nating with steam from the tea kettle spout. Black grease or tar stains can be removed by rubbing spots with lard, then wash in hot suds. 4524 tamps, by 73 West The first importance founded in STOMACH TROUBLE DUE T0 TEEN 3W?!)

The King's household is divided in- to three branches, which are in the charge of the lord Chamberlain, the lord steward and the master of the horse. These are all political appoint» Qments, the holders retiring when a ! government goes out of office. The lord Chamberlain, known in former days as the king’s chamberlain, controls and superintends all the of- ficers and servants of the household “above stairs.” Among other things, he is in charge of the robes of state, is responsible for the licensing of plays, and is the head of the ceremonial department, which issum all the invitations to court func‘ tions and regulations concerning dress and general points of procedure. One of his lesser-known duties is having general charge of all furniture in the Houses of Parliament. The lord steward exercises control over the whole of the staff “below stairs,” except those attached to the department of the master of the horse, says Mr. Guy Heseltine in his new book, “The Court Circle." The oflicial title of his oflice is the board of the green cloth, from the color of the table at which all expendi- ture was dispensed in former days. â€"â€"AND THE WORST lS YET TO COME ther d King’s Househsld Model of Efficiency we uake in Japan two ter on the Bluff at By the hurt that comes and the falling tear, \I By the common grief at the silent bier, And the grave that awaits, we are brothers here. realiz W't The lord steward takes his orders from the sovereign in person. Another very important court post is that of private secretary to the King. He has to deal With all the King’s personal correspondence and so forth, as well as making all his en- gagements and appointments, except those of a state or formal character. Among the minor officials, the trea- surer of the household is the principal one under the lord Stewart, taking full control in his absence. His duty is to pay all money due from the board of the green cloth and to supervise. the household expenditure generally.
