Women like velveteen. They ignore ite” obvious faults. They forgive its shortcomings. Its easy way of get- ting mixed up with the dirt of the streets and the dust of chairs makes it a common hoyden to the conserva- tives, but the majority excuse it on the ground that all fabries have their faults and many lack the charm of dark velveteen. It has an air of Fohemia, yes. but a staid world hank- after Bohemia. Many smart women are Wearing one-piece frocks of beige velveteen with oriental sashes of deep, dull red crepe de chine.

If we bad no moving picturé shows, no theaters, few books, and if methods of travel and transportation were as different now as they were in the days of our forefathers, then we might find that the most entertaining thing we could do of a winter evening was to sit at the dinner table hour upon hour. ‘Three hundred years ago dining seems to have been the main and almost sole form of amusement for most per- sons, and in a certain part of Ger- many a law was passed making it an offense for a man of the trades- man class to dine for more than four bours each day. Our customs of dining we have taken for the most part from Eng- land, and it is from that land that our 'formal dinners received their lengthiness. A few years ago it was not uncommon for fashionable folk to linger two hours at the table, al- though even then in France one hour was considered the limit of time. Of ! lute years—and especially since the war—shorter dinners have taken the place of long meals and even for a formal dinner one hour is now con. sidered sufficient. It is surprising to some people to learn what a length of time the father of his country spent at table. We read in many places that he was tremely fond of nuts and often ed to sit over his nuts and wine for two hours after dinner was over. He dined several hours earlier in the day than we do and had but an hour or so between this hearty din- ner and a supper that consisted of fruit and cold meats. The custom of taking coffee in the drawing _room or living room even for simple family meals is one that helps us to shorten our dinner hour. If we have a single servant who is mo doubt eager to finish the kitchen work and be out for her own amuse- U How Many Ways Do You Mak Your Kerosene Work for You? It always amuses me to have some bride friend—indeed, old housekeepers are frequently guilty of the same thing—ask me what she shall use to keep her bathroom porcelain clean, when 1 know that this friend has kerosene in the house which she is using for fuel. For there is nothing like kerosene to ksep, porcelain clean and o preserve it e sandsoap and gritty powders which S0 many housekecpers use on their bathtubs, wash bowls, toilets and sinks in time ruins the surface. A soft cloth dampened with kerosene and applied to the porcelain, followed y soap and hot water, is infinitely better. To be sure, it leaves the odor of Kerosene behind, but this will soon disappear if the window be opened. Or the housekeeper muy use her kero- sene in this form | Kerosene Prepuration for Use on n—Add twelve drops of oil| to one pint of keresene: blespoons of vinegar a This hamemade solution is harmless and will leave a fresh and invigorating odor. But I have touched upon only one use to which kerosene may be put. There are scores of others! Used with powdered bath brick, kerosene will Dolish steel knives and quickly re- move all accumulations from the bot- tom of cooking utensils.

A Kirkman " 1 will come out without hard scrugbing £ this is done. carpet g namel, paint and woodwork of all kinds are cleaned with kerosene. Obstinate rust stecl and iron should be cov- ered with kerosene, allowed to stand and then scoured off. When zinc loses its metailic luster— that is, when it tarnishes—kerosene is the ome thing that will restore it. Kerosene is used to wash windows in winter, when water would freese; it should be put on sparingly and rubbed at once, and care must be taken that it does not touch the varnish of the woodwork, as kerosene will soften varnish. One tablespoon of kereosene to two gallons of bolling water in the wash- boiler will work wonders in loosening the dirt on white clothes. When greuse has stopped up the drainpipe of the sink a generous amount of kerosene should he poured down at night and in the morning a strong olution composed of hot water and mmonia (or hot water and washing soda) should also be poured down. This combination of grease-cutters will save the expense of calling in a plumber. Last week T published in this col- umn a formula for kerosene emulsion to use on house plants which have become infested with plant lice. And still there are many, many other ways of using kerosene which 1 have not mentioned! But the efficient housekeeper will find them all, thus getting the maximum amount of work out of her can of kerosene. —_— topped with puffs of jade tulle. elty. Fads and Fancies.

Dip the feather in it " repeatedly, drawing ightly through the fingers after each dipping. Take it outdoors and shake it until the gasoline is evaporated. The flour will shake off and the feather will retain its curl and orig- inal fluffiness. If the feather does not come out white the first time re- peat the process.
