In some large families of sons and daughters it seems to be a generally understood thing that all articles not | clearly marked with the initials of the owners should become public property— or rather the property of the first finder who manages to attach his own initials or name thereto. Umbrellas are articles about which many persons seem to have a singularly free conscience; and providing a sister’s rubbers happen to it you, you seldom feel any great compunction about adopting them as your own. It is & good plan to have on hand— it you belong to one of these large families—a package of little gummed seals bearing your own initials in gilt or silver. These may be bought at a very small cost and were no doubt originally intended to be placed on letters. However, these may easily be stuck on the cover of magazines, the inside of the cover of new books and various other articles_ for ‘which you want to claim ownership. A bottle of indelible ink with pen to 8o with it should bg part of your desk equipment. If you do not wish to write your full name on pleces of table linen, towels, sheets, etc. is possible to make a small m or initial that should identify the pleces as yours. Of course there is valid reason for objecting to having finely embroidered pieces marked with ink. A good device then is to make your identification in em- broidered or cross-stitch initials. You may also have your name or initials woven on tape and then sew the tapes into the garments. (Copyrisht, 1930.) Ginger Bread Waffles.

BY MARIE SHALMAR. Mending. There is a woman who has a large, old-fashioned market basket dedicated to the purpose of holding clothes to be mended. It is not equipped with mend- ing materials and every week it is emptied and then is put in the laundry waiting to be filled again. Monday when the clothes are sorted for iron- ing, stockings are all put in this basket, then other things that need a stitch, shirts in need of a button, sheets with rents, tablecloths with a spot to be darned. This basket goes into an inconspicu- ous place in the living room. At this time of the year it is almost always stowed in a corner of the living porch. First of all, clothes that have to be ironed are attended to and quickly put back in the laundry to be sprinkled for Tuesday's ironing. Stockings are sorted next and the pairs that need no atten- tion are carried away. Pieces that need slow and painstaking work are left till last. Sheets and underclothes that may be mended by machine are all carefully looked over and sometimes basted so that a very short time at the machine will suffice. So it happens in this house that no definite time has to be given up to mending. The housewife has managed so that it is her pick-up work. She takes to it as other women do to knit- ting when she has to sit down on the veranda or in the living room for a few minutes’ wait. No one ever asks to help in vain. The sister-in-law who drops in for a morning call without her knit- ting no sooner says, “Oh, I could help with that,” than needle and thread and thimble are offered with some neat piece of mending.

CRAIG. April 29, 1865.—An order by the War Department, published in the newspa- pers today, reducing the expenses of the military establishment, is generally re- garded as indicating the al termi- nation of the war. The end, which only one month sgo seemed so far removed, now seems about to be attained. Exiles from the Southern States are Tel to their homes. Trade is re- suming its wonted activity and the peo- le of all sections are joining in the res- Eruuon of & more normal social life. Nevertheless, every one who is ac- uainted with the circumstances realizes aut the future is fraught with many perplexing problems. The manner of reconstructing the governments of the seceded States and bringing them back to their former place in the Union is likely to cause much difficulty. There are evidences that many radical Repub- licans in Congress will not take as mer- ciful and broad-minded a view of the situation as did the late President Lin- coln or as President Johnson takes. Military posts, with detachments of Infantry and Cavalry, are being estab- lished in Prince Georges, Charles and 8t. Mary Counties, Md., for the pur- pose of breaking up alleged ‘“disloyal ractices” and affording protection to “loyal inhabitants” of those counties. The officers in command of these posts are being instructed to forage on the country. Receipts will be given for supplies taken from the citizens and after the war is entirely over, if the holders of these receipts are judged to have maintained a “loyal” attitude to- ward the Government throughout, they ‘will receive pay for the goods taken. Edwin Booth, who arrived in Wash- ington yesterday, at the request of his mother, in an ef- fort to obtain the body of his brother, the assassin of President Lincoln. The investigation of the murder con- spiracy is still being continued by the civil and military authorities. There appears to be no longer any doubt that Booth fractured g when he sprang from the President’s box to the stage in Ford’s Theater after shooting Mr. Lin- coln in the back of the head. Traces at points along the route of his attempted escape indicate that Booth tried to obliterate the tell-tale ‘marks of his crutch and that he hopped on one leg part of the time, not using a cruteh.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS Superfluous Hair. Dear Miss Leeds: Can you tell me of anything that will remove hair from the face, especially the upper lip? It is quite dark and therefore eflnflp{:fl;}a Answer. — There is no permanent method of removing superfluous hair except with the aid of an electric needle, and this operation, of course, must be performed by an expert operator. ‘The hair can be removed temporarily by the use of depilatories, shaving or tweezing, but as none of these methods prevents a return, they give little sat- Feroxide will bleach them. ~F N isfaction for superfluous hair on the face. Bleaching the hairs so that they are less noticeable is perhaps the best home method to use. For this purpose use three tablespoonfuls of peroxide. ‘To make the bleach even stronger adc six drops of household ammonia. Do not expect immediately results from the bleach, but keep it up conscientiously and the hairs will gradually become very much lighter. Put cotton in yow nostrils to keep out the ammonia fumes LOIS LEEDS. ‘Troubled With Moles. Dear Miss Leeds: I have a very fair complexion, but have my troubles, as every once in a while a new molc makes its appearance on my face and arms. They have become so numetou that I would like to know what cause them and if there is any way to g rid of them. BLONDY. Answer.—I never advise any amatel to experiment with moles, as they arc not a blemish with which it is safe to tamper. I hope you will see a very good skin specialist, as I have no doubt that he can remove them for you and tell you exactly what the nature of the | growth is. It is rather odd to have new moles appearing all the time, and I feel sure the skin specialist will be able to help you. 1O1S LEEDS. (Copyright, 1930.) Twenty-Four-Hour Salad.
