WITH one of the best up to date cleansing fluids come directions to place the fabric to be cleaned on blotting paper or many folds of soft old cloth. The woman who does this will find the pattern of the article cleaned will be reproduced in discolored lines on the blotting pattern, the fluid eating the grease and dust right out. If the blotting paper is not used the fluid will form a ring in the fabric almost as unsightly as the original dirt.

Again, if you are using a patent varnish or stain and Instructions bid you first sandpaper the wordwork use sandpaper vigorously. The patented article cannot perform miracles.

Here are some simple' remedies for removing spots of various sorts: Paint.—If the paint is fresh, turpentine, alcohol or naphtha will probably take out the stain. If the stain is old and dry try chloroform. Put the portion of fabric to be cleaned over several thicknesses of clean cloth before trying to clean it.

Grease.—Use French chalk for grease

spots. Apply It thickly and let It stand for several days. If this is not effective sponge the material first on one side, then on the other, with spirits of wine then press over a piece of thick linen.

Candle Wax.—Put a sheet of blotting paper under the spot and another over it. Heat with flatiron and the wax will be removed by the blotting paper.

Milk.—White soap and warm water should be used to take out milk stains. It should be used immediately.

Ink.—There are various good ink eradicators on the market, and it is well to have a bottle of one of these on hand. Another method is to dip the ink stained article Into milk. The milk should not be allowed to dry on, but if it does not remove the ink within a short time it should be washed out and a fresh application of milk made.

Tea Stains. Clear warm water should be used to remove tea stains. Coffee.—Pour boiling water through the coffee stains as quickly after the coffee is spilled as possible. This is a never failing remedy if the spots are fresh. Otherwise it may be necessary to repeat it several times.

Rain Spots.—When cloth that has not been sponged is spotted from the rain spread a damp cloth over the wrong side of the material and Iron it dry.

Ice Cream.—Anything on which Ice cream has been spilled should be sponged with chloroform. Use several thicknesses of clean white blotting paper under the spotted article.

Gasoline Spots.—Sometimes gasoline leaves a ring on cloth in which it has been used to remove a stain. This ring can be removed by holding the ringed cloth over steam. Sometimes this method does not remove the ring. The only thing to do in that case is to dip the whole of the garment on which the ring appears into gasoline.

Grass Spots.—As soon as grass stains are detected on summer frocks cover them with molasses or with lard and the stains will disappear.

OCCUPATIONS FOR WOMEN. QVER 1,800 young women are employed in a Philadelphia publishing bouse.

Holland has a machine that a girl can operate and make 1,200 cigars a day.

Miss Persis Snodgrass of Paterson is manager of the widows' pension work in New Jersey.

Eleven young women will leave this country soon to become missionaries in the foreign field.

Elizabeth Meehan, a Philadelphia girl, recently accomplished a feat never before achieved by a woman, that of swimming across Hampton Roads, a distance of seven miles-

The value of imported goods passing through the customs house In New York is from $500,000 to $800,000 daily, often reaching as high as $1,000,000. Domestic manufacturers will have the opportunity of a lifetime to demonstrate that they can furnish our own country with commodities as good as

those Imported. Foreign importation, may get a black eye from the deplorable conditions abroad, but to again, 'Tis an ill wind."

New fashions follow the wars as closely as a flock of sheep follows the belwether, so It Is fairly safe to predict that military fashions a la Russe, a la Serb, etc., will be evolved by our fashion experts.

But variety will make for plcturesqueness. We are inclined too much toward uniformity of garb. Conservative women follow Instead of lead they affirm that they do not wish to be conspicuous. The natural style leader is bound to be noticeable, however, though she is not necessarily obliged to be bizarre. Simplicity is quite as noticeable.

Before the war situation became a menace the importers received some advanced autumn models, four of which are illustrated here.

The motor coat at the extreme left Is the only domestic model In the picture. Very often the fur lined motor coat Is a bulky, shapeless affair, which utterly destroys any semblance of graceful figure lines. This new motor coat, however, is both graceful and up to date. It is of dark green cloth, lined with muskrat and trimmed with civet.

The craze for fur trimming is hinted at In this French tailored gown for autumn. Broad bands of Persian paw

The autumn girl In the country will wear a fascinating new sports coat, the very newest supplanter of the sweater. This is a white cotton corduroy coat printed in bright orange and black in Mexican style, with figures borrowed from ancient Aztec symbols. The Mexican war Is responsible for this style.

ROCK CRYSTAL JEWELRY POPULAR. rpHERE Is a novelty In Jewelry so very new that It has scarcely been put upon the market, so exquisite that every woman who has seen it desires to possess a piece of it, so costly that few are able to purchase any of It, so different from anything heretofore shown that It promises to become a general craze.

This is the rock crystal Jewelry which Is gemmed with pearls and diamonds. The rock crystal Is cut In thin, flat forms and then etched in such a manner that it is at once a suggestion of the star sapphire and the moonstone. A mounting of platinum is then added and white diamonds only or diamonds and pearls, as milady chooses. The completed ornament is so definitely bridelike that it will be most popular among items for wedding gifts for the approaching season, though it is one of the rare fashions that are as suitable for the girl of seventeen and the matron as for the bride.

One of the best designs in which rt is shown is the bar brooch. This is not to be confused with the out of mode bar shirt waist pin. The former is one of the ornaments most in vogue at present. There are, however, to be pieces of this rock crystal loveliness executed in every jeweled thing that is at present in favor. It may be had only of the best of Fifth avenue Jewelers. It proclaims this fact afar, for it answers to the demand of *ie mode for glitter, but announces the woman of good taste in that it rejects every hint of garishness.

The latest In rings is so constructed that the flesh is displayed between interstices of the mounting. The mountings themselves are still of fairy workmanship, so wonderfully wrought are they.

HOW ABOUT THIST

rpHE ladies' luncheon of two or four can be the most enjoyable and exhilarating form of entertainment imaginable, given the right hostess and guests, but a huge daylight banquet composed entirely of women dressed in their best clothes is one to cause dismay to the stoutest heart. It is, as a matter of fact, a lamentable waste of time and money.

a recently Invented method women may make small ornaments such as hatpins, collar pins and buckles to match their hats and gowns.

Perfumed sealing wax is used to cover any ordinary little ornament—a penny hatpin, for Instance. The wax is heated In the flame of a small alcohol lamp, then smeared around the top of the pin and dipped quickly In cool.water, which makes It sufficiently cool to handle. Roll It between the palms of the hands until It Is round. When it has hardened add little dabs of sealing wax of different colors and dots of gold by the same process. Thrust the top back into the flame again and turn It rapidly to prevent the sealing wax from melting and dropping into the flame. The finished effect is that of the Venetian bead.

Beads also may be made by the same method and pierced with a redhot hatpin. It is not necessary to build the beads on any other substance.

Atmospherio heat does not melt this sealing wax jewelry. The shellac in the wax maintains in the ornament the glossy appearance of the wax.

Favors, especially In college colors, may be made in this way. Sealing wax comes in sixty-eight colors, so an infinite variety of effects may be produced. Children are amused endlessly by fashioning things of the wax.

"LAVENDER AND OLD LACE." "VTO longer are old laces and hand embroideries stored away with lavender in grandmother's cedar chest. The practical woman of today thinks that romanticism in cedar chests doesn't pay, and she is digging up such treasured bits of finery and using them in all sorts of charming ways for her own immediate benefit.

A real lace and sheer embroidery handkerchief that was perhaps part of a trousseau will make a pretty collar and, when applied to sheer linen, a set of the smart turnback cuffs or the entire wide border of a handkerchief can be used for a rolling collar. The material may have to be cut a bit to be shaped, but clever stitching can do wonders. Exquisite boudoir caps can be evolved with the help of flowers and knots of ribbon from old lace handkerchiefs or the larger kerchiefs.

Larger lace collars and berthas are being used on blouses of net and sheer linen or batiste. Now that blouses open in front it is quite possible to use some handsome old piece of lace without cutting it, as the rolling collar can continue down the front, or It can be used to form a eort of waistcoat, popular equally on thin gowns and blouses.

A charming little handkerchief gown noticed recently had a bertha used this way. The embroidery was arranged loosely in the front, then fastened down under a dark blue satin girdle and
