Cleaning Compound: Mix one ounce of borax and one ounce gum ‘camphor with one quart boiling wates. When ool add one pint of aicohol, bottle and cerk tightly. When wanted for use ghake well and sponge the garments to be cleaned. This is an excellent mixture for cleaning soiled . black cashmers and woolen dresses, coat col- lars, and black felt hat Coal Oil, to remove: Cover the spot with finely powdered chalk or corn- meal; lay a paper over it and rub it over with a moderately heated -iron. Two or three applications are all that is necessary. Cloth, to clean You need dry Ful- ler’s earth moistened with lemon juice and a small quantity of powdered pearl ash; mix the Fuller's earth and pearl ash’ into balls with sufficient lemon juice to moisten; scour the cloth with the balls. Cleaning Lace: Fill a large bottle with cold water, and sew around it some clean, old white muslin. Tack one end of lace to the muslin, and wrap the lace around the bottle, tak- ing care to have no wrinkles; with a clean sponge and pure sweet oil sat- urate the lace thoroughly through the wrappings to the bottle, which is to be fastened by strings in a wash-ket- tle. Pour in a strong cold lather of white castile soap and boil the suds until the lace is white and clean. Dry the bottle in the sun, remove the lace and wrap it around a ribbon block, or press. Cleaning Picture Frames: Dingy or| rusty gilt picture frames may be im proved by simply washing them with a_small sponge molistened with spirits of wine or ofl of turpentine, the sponge only to be sufficiently wet to take off the dirt and fly ma; They should not be wiped afterward, but left to dry of themselves. Cleaning Stains, Spots and Mildew from Furniture: Take. one-half pint of 93 per cent. alcohol, one-guarter ounce each of pulverized rosin and gum shellac, add one-half pint of lin- seed oil, shake well and apply with a brush or sponge.

RUTH. LITTLE EXCURSIONS NEAR HOME is Is] Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:— When it comes to nice little summer trips we have some about here. The sail from New London to Sag Harbor is onme of the most enjoyable trips to be made upon the water and one may be at home at 430 p, m. One has a chance to se¢ Greenport and all the summer resorts on Shelter Island and lots of activity upon tne water. It is a five hours steam voyage and at this time of year the water birds, especi- ally Mother Carey's chickens, are in evidence. For seeing autumnal foliage a trol- ley ride to Coventry lake and back, or 2 round trip to the Connecticut river bridge wil lafford picturesque views which cannot be forgotten. These little home rides are not fa- tiguing and tley introduce one to vistas of scenery and beauty spots as pleasing as may be seen anywhere, Scores of people come hundreds of miles to see and camp beside Gard- ner Lake. if it be at HANNAH JANE.

Wednesday, September 27th, a dozen of the Sisters were delightfully entertained in Azalea’s home at Mans- fleld Depot. ‘We went up on the Central Vermont road, were met by an automobile and carried to her pleasant home on the hiliside. The beautiful trees. grand view of the hills from the porch, made an ideal spot for the party.

Our new Sister from Merrow Wwe were pleased to meet. She worked hard_teaching new patterns in crochet. We hope to see her again. At our gatherings, we have ex- changed many ideas in fancy work and crochet, that is always so fas- cinating. After lunch some of the Sisters showed us few fancy steps, to music furnished by Wandering Jew on the viano. In the midst of our jolly time_ the sad news came “That Kelly Was Dead!” Of course we could not dance after that, but we recovered suffici- ently to do justice to the deliclous chicken ple, served for our supper by our hostess, although a few did not reach home that night, the writer was able to. We could not give a rising vote of thanks to _our hostess . (after that chicken ple) so we showed our ap- preciation by the uplifted hand. Azalea soon goes to a new home, which will bring ner nearer to us, and we hope for many happy meetings to- gether. Azalea proved herself a charming hostess. The steamboat train was on time; we reached home safely. So ended one of our most de- lightful gatherings. ‘We were entertained by Aunty No. 1 near the Golden Spur. Reasons for small appetite—ist.

I know a lady who had holes very small put through her coths pins at the_ nub - end and string them on strong string for baby, and older ones also get thc choldren to-move them slong on string, counting them, or naming them, making the roll call at school for mamma. The pins can be used when wanted for cloths hy sim- ply dipping in the suds water, and untying them. I saw @ small baby put into a bed- tick laundry bag and the string tled around the waist, clean dress when creeping or sitting In high chair, plen- ty of room for the feet and limbs.
