The fewer ..yh-‘ mmu have when it is time o #on the less pressure will be quired to make them smooth, and the heat in the iron. A very hot iron, rs cloth, so it is worthwhile to stance, as those made pliss, either the silk or stockings, knit goods, etc. Such can be so hung in the sun and breeze that they will be as shapely as if ironed. that they lose their contour. One ex- ample will serve to show this point. A crepe nightgown will be shapely if hung with four clothes pins to a line, two pins put in by the opening for the neck at the shoulder and two at the armhole on the shoulder seam. The gown will fall in smooth straight lines, and be even and ready to fold and be laid in the bureau drawer when. it is dry. It would be ruined if ironed. A good rule to follow is—hang articles on the line so that they keep the shape desired when dry. ‘Taking clothes from a line should be done with equal care. If they are gath- ered in the arms and dropped helter skelter into the basket, or crushed in the arms when they are brought into the house, they will be badly rumpled. But if each piece as taken down is folded as smooth and flat as is possible in the breezy out-of-doors, and is then laid lightly in the basket or over the arm, it will have the least possible creases. Garments that are starched are an “exception to prove the rule,” as the adage puts it. They will be stiff, and must be sprinkled down to make them managable. Then they should be fold- ed or rolled to make as few wrinkles as_possible. Unstarched clothes taken from the line when they ‘are not fully dry, but just damp enough to be ironed, are in perfect condition to be ironed, but the homemaker is usually too tired after the washing to feel like doing this task. If the wash is small and one is not too weary, since only a few pieces are done, this method is recommended. Some women leave the clothes on the line until they become damp with the déw, and then fron them immediately. When clothes are sprinkled a clothes sorinkler fs handy. It is like a flour dredge with a perforated ton that screws cn. This little device will scat- ter the drops of water over a surface far more evenly than wh shaken from the finger tips. FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLY MONROE. Refreshments. This season there seems to be a tendency 'rve lighter and simpler refreshments at afternoon card parties than for several seasons past. . Not long ago a hostess in'a fashion- able suburban community held the first | of a series of meetings of the bridge club to which she belonged, and with |. the courage of her conviction served only tea and dainty sandwiches, with hot chocolate as an alternative. Last year and previous years refreshments at these club meeting had very much more elaborate. Sometimes there was a rich, elaborate salad with dainty sandwiches followed by ices and several sorts of cakes. Each hostess tried to think of something new and different, 10 | and sometimes served refreshments that as an article is wrung it is t vigorously, these wrinkles ptibly and some disappear together.

C. Hiking in Suburbs. T!-Im.l: is one characteristic that most ‘Washingtonians of today share and that is their love of exploration of the environs of the District by hiking trips. Being myself a convert to the Washing- tonian persuasion (and converts are often more earnest than those born in the faith), I had, when I first came to Washington a great surprise in agreeable fact, for, in general, cities | south of Mason and Dixon’s famous line boast few hikers. The Southern man et his exercise that way, as a rule, nufi less the Southern woman. I first went hiking in the company of Washington swains’ and maidens in | the Autumn, and I still thing it is the best time of year in this our uncertain climate. Now is that moment dear to the heart of the bird-lover when the southbound birds are on_the wing, the Winter birds arriving. Now the gen- tians are still to be looked for; the last late asters bloom; the witch hazel shows forth its odd little blooms on naked branches, and the seed vessels of the flowers that have been are ripe to bursting. Now, too, I am sad to say, is the season of burrs. There are 60 species of plants in the District region that distribute their seeds by the meth- od of hitching a ride on my tweeds as I walk phrough the wocds, and some- times I bring home half of them at the end of a short walk. Burdock and beg- gar-ticks, beggar’s lice, cockleburr, sand- burr, porcupine grass, ragweed, avens. wild 'licorice, snakeroot, tick trefoil and enchanter’s nightshade all have re- course to this disagreeable habit. Tt is not of these pests I would speak, but of the proper way to enjoy oneself on a tramp in the woods. There are folks who put on tennis shoes or “sneak- ers” when they go a-hiking. If they like them, no one will quarrel with these | eccentric folk, but s a rule the sneakers feel only comfortable for the first mile; | every stone makes itself felt through the | thin soles; a hot pavement or a wet forest floor quickly communicates dis- comforts; the jar that the heels receive in such footgear is exhausting. Still other trampers delight to carry a pack equipment calculated to supply & polar explorer. I find more pleasure in buying a glass of buttermilk or (I con- fess it) filching an apple. And many are the folk that put pedometers on their ankles, and count their miles as the advertisements urge us to count our calories at meal time. If eating or walk- ing is to be a Elenure instead of a la- bor, let us, in the name of joy, forget to ration out and measure our pleasures! ‘Witch Hazel Charm. A lady in my neighborhood asked me why the witch hazel was called by the name that we give, despite the fact that it isn't a hazel, and that| neither of us,nor anybody today be- lieves in witches. My answer only partly satisfied her. I could make her see that the inclosure of the seeds in a little downy cup was, in a rough way, hazel-like (though I shouid not advise anybody to try eating those same seeds). But the witchery of witch hazel escaped her, and since she did not perceive it herself, I have no means of convincing her of it. But I, for one, see something witchy in the coming into bloom of that for s @ 15 | has fallen from its bougl all PEATTIE. strange sprite a full .six weeks after every other species has blossomed. 1t is the very last flower in the District flora to burst from its bud: indeed, it is the last species in the . Northern United States, with - the ‘interesting _exception of the seaside alder over on' the Eastern Shore of Maryland. By the time the witch hazel breaks the “scales that bound it the last leaf woods, indeed, are leafiess st for the russet, weather-beaten leaves of oaks and the evergresns. The last Summer bird has winged his way through the gray skies; the silent, ghostly flocks of Jjuncoes and chicadees, like flights of gml);rflwkes, drift through the forest and eld. If you smell the witch hazel out of doors, no odor rises to the nostrils. Bring it in the heated house and a strange aroma steals forth. So the odor, too, is witchy, and even the num- ber of petals is peculiar, for most flowers in the temperate zone are based on a plan of three or five or their multiples; very few have, like the witch hazel, four petals. And last of all, the gray-bearded experts in fossil botany inform us that the witch hazel belongs to a very ancient family, of which our American species of today is one of the few living representatives— a sort of ghost of a once princely line.
