Very few who haven't looked up the word recently know that while we derive the word from the French, the French in turn de- rived it from the English word, “mo- hair.” “Moire” was the best they could do with it. They took our old word and sent it back fo us with a different meaning.

The important thing from the fashion point of view is that moire has been revived. It was given a prominent place in the Autumn frocks shown by the Parls dress- makers and it is among the things that seem most attractive to Amer- fcans. It possesses certain obvious qualities of smartness and trimness that appeal very strangely to the American woman. Mofre, like velvet and taffeta and broadcloth, has taken on a somewhat new aspect. It is not without de- cided adaptation that fabrics survive nowadays. This new moire is firm but very pliable. For expensive frocks & satin-back chiffon moire is used. This can be used on either side. Moire, unlike some of the other materials, is suitable and smart for either day or evening wear. In black or dark blue or green or one of the new wine reds it appears be- fore evening. In peach or apricot or rose or one of the new pinkish blues that are really not quite mauve, moire becomes one of the most im- portant of evening fabrics. (Covyright. 1926.) My Neighbor Says: A few drops of turpentine dropped on a cloth and rubbed over an enameled bed will ve- move dirt and spots instantly and leave a good gloss. Never use soap and water for washing a marble mantelpiece. Use plain water to which a little ammonia been added and polish with a soft duster. When polishing stoves add a teaspoonful of powdered alum to the polish. The stoves will keep twice as long. Keep a small pair of scissors in the drawer with your knives. They will trim the edges of ple crust much more quickly and neatly than a knife. Also they are very convenient for prepar- ing bread for sandwiches. Dustless dusters should be The oil in them may be v renewed by rinsing the cloths in water containing one tablespoonful of kerosene to each quart of water. Dry salt is a remedy for hands that become wrinkled after washing. It s also a very economical toothpowder. Lamp chimneys should never be washed in soapy water.

T would not go so far as to say that the old-fashioned remedies are always the best, but_some of them are very good. One of the best skin bleaches, for instance, is the great-grandmother remedy of starch paste. Starch is a powerful bleach. Tt is particularly good to use on the skin after exposure to the sun for that first light-red stage of sunburn. You take a lump of ordinary laundr dissolve it in enough cold v make a paste and spread this over the skin. If you have been using powder or rouge, wash these off with warm water, for the starch must have a clean skin to act on. If you are using the starch bleach for sunburn, a fairly thin paste will do, and it need not stay on more than half an hour. But if you are using it for freckles, make the paste thicker, at least apply it more thickly over the freckled part of the skin and, if pos- sible, let it stay on longer. If you are using starch paste for hlackheads or coarse pores, first wash with hot water to relax the skin, then take the paste, having made it fal and rub it into the skin. rubbing; you can use a s amount’ of it. If the skin has been very bad, wash off the first applica- tion of paste and rub on another. A LEMON JUICE BEST TO WHITEN SKIN ¢ The only \|arm|rts way to bleach the skin white is to mix the juice of two lemons with three ounces of Orchard White, which any druggist will supply for a few cents. Shake well in a bot- tle, and you have a whole quarter-pint of the most wonderful skin whitener, softener and beautifier, Massage this sweetly fragrant lemon bleach into the face, neck, arms and hands. Tt cannot irritate. Famous stage beauties use it to bring that clear, youthful skin and rosy-white complexion; also as a freckic, sunburn and tan bleach. You must mix this remarkable lotion yourself. It cannot be bought ready to use because 1t acts best immedi- ately after it is prepared. Orchard White | Bring 6 Glom{us New Beauty — 1o Youp flaj‘. !

L. Diet, rest, fresh air and sunshine can conquer tuberculosis. It is nec- essary that the patient have fresh air day and night. Sunlight is our great- est disinfectant. It is said that a tuberculosis germ will die in a few minutes when exposed to the direct rays of the sun. It is necessary that the patient have rest—long hours of it—to enable his body to grow strong. In some cases, it is necessary for the patient to remain lying down the whole 24 hours, so that every particle of energy produced by his nourishing food may go to building up vitality. Diet is a most important feature of the cure. Drugs are unnecessary. But food is necessary to bufld up the pa- tient. Tuberculosis can attack the bones, the joints, the glands of the neck, the intestines, the throat, the lungs. The most common form of the disease af fects the lung: People can catch tuberculosis easily. Many die of it. But if taken im time it can be cured. Sick people cam give tuberculosis to healthy people. germ sleeps away in the healthy con's body. The healthy person, through exposure or overwork, lowers his resistance. A cold develops. It hangs on.

Butter also is a valuable food in this condition. Egg volks are rich in iron, and the albumen of the white is a building-up food. From four to six eggs a day may be prescribed. Fresh vegetables, because they furnish vitamins and iron and calcium and give bulk to the diet, are especially valuable. Olive ofl is good to use on salad dressings. Substitute lemon juice for vinegar. because the fruit juice contains vitamins and a littie calcfum. Bacon is a good means of in- troducing extra fat into the diet. When it is known that tuberculosis has taken hold, the thing to do is immediately to start getting well The stepping stones from tuberculosis to health are rest, fresh air, sunshine and good food. “Pugzlicks” PusileLimericks There once was a bold —1— Who knew not the meaning of —2—; But his wife made him —3— Because she'd —4— And basely attack from the —5— 1.
