NEW IDEA SAVES SILK HOSE Expensive at best, silk hose and undergarments are made doubly so by improper washing. A fashion expert has found a new’, simple way to correct this. She adds a tablespoonful of Energine to every quart of lukewarm, soapy water. Then she washes and rinses the articles as usual. The addition of Energine removes all the body excretions that soften and rot silk. The results are amazing. Not only does this method give new cleanliness and freshness with original color revived but actually gives longer life to hose and undergarments. Try this new method of adding Energine to soapy water. It’s easier and quicker than just soap and water alone, means less rubbing and insures extra wear that will surprise you. Energine is unexcelled, also, for quickly removing all dirt and grease spots from dresses, hats, gloves, shoes, etc. Large can 35 cents at any drug store—Advertisement.

WIN PLACE IN SOCIAL SUN FOR ! WET CAMPAIGN 'Women With Billion Wealth Behind Them Attend Anti-Dry Parley. | By United Press WASHINGTON, April 15. Women with perhaps a billion in i wealth behind them are endeavori ing here to give the anti-prehi-bition movement a place in the social sun. Presiding over the annual conference of the Women's Organization for National Prohibition Reform is Pauline Morton, wife of | Charles Hamilton Sabin, Southampton, L. 1., and the Guaranty Trust Company, New York. ; “I will recognize," says Mrs. Sabin, “the lady from Delaware.” i The lady from Delaware is Mrs. ; Pierre Du Font, daughter of Henry Eelin and wife of the chairman of the board of E. I. Du Pont De Nemours & Cos. Same From Other States From other states are Mrs. Stanley Field, whose husband is a director of Marshal Field <& Cos. in Chicago, or Miss Belle Gurnee, where grandfather built the first brick stable in Chicago and heard it called “Gurnee’s folly,” because Chicago of the early day thought brick too costly to shelter ' for trotting horses. But Waiter S. Gum re survived that ridicule and became mayor. ! Mrs. William Cabell Bruce might answer for the state of Maryland. She is the wife of the former senator and her son married Ailsa i Mellon, daughter of the secretary of the treasury. Many Millions Represented Michigan has sent Mrs. Henry B. Joy, whose husband was president of the Packard Motor Company and I now is a director. There are Mrs. R. Stuyvesant ! Pierrepont of New Jersey, great granddaughter of William Cullen Byrant; Mrs. August Belmont, Mrs. j Joseph H. Choate, Mrs Walter ; Damrosch, Mrs. Haley Fiske and i Mrs. E. Roland Karriman from New j York. Mrs. Archibald Roosevelt, whose ! husband was a son of the President, is among the delegates. To wavering women who might join the anti-prohibition cause except for lingering doubts as to its respectability, it would appear the gathering here was specially planned to convince them.
