The famous Homer Thermo-Seal<br />
Inner Lining, is made <strong>of</strong> two sheets<br />

and will last the life <strong>of</strong> a furnace.<br />

- MY OLD HAT MADE NEW<br />
, (CONTINUED wtou PAOH, 328)<br />
It may be a surprise to most persons to<br />
learn that the renovating <strong>of</strong> lace is a-most<br />
satisfactory proceeding. Black lace, in<br />
particular, comes out quite like new.<br />
Dip black lace in a solution <strong>of</strong> three-fourths<br />
alcohol and one-fourth, waters After the<br />
dipping, do not wring but spread the lace<br />
out very smoothly, 'stretching¦•'¦it on. the<br />
irorjing board or other flat, surface. Every<br />
part <strong>of</strong> the lace , must be pinned separately<br />
that the design may be retained. The lace<br />
isjth ' en left to dry and care should be taken<br />
that it is thoroughly ' dried before the pins<br />
are removed. .; . ,><br />
¦' . 'Whitelace may be washed by putting it<br />
in a clean basin in which the same solution<br />
<strong>of</strong> borax and water as that advised for<br />
the sponging <strong>of</strong> black satin has : been<br />
placed. Let it remain in the solution for<br />
twenty-four hours. Do not rub the lace<br />
but squeeze it, as rubbing breaks the<br />
threads. After its day <strong>of</strong> soaking, the<br />
lace should be well rinsed, stretched on the<br />
ironing board and allowed to dry before<br />
trie pins are removed.<br />
Georgettes are a joy forever to the home<br />
renovator. They may be put in a basin<br />
and washed in good suds and then quite<br />
sensibly and easily ironed on a well-padded<br />
board. Old' georgette waists should not<br />
be tdssed aside. Put them with<br />
the hat materials, for they make<br />
excellent hat facings or they.may<br />
be used for inside layers and covered<br />
with new goods. They are<br />
quite worth cleaning for this purpose,<br />
for especially in the use <strong>of</strong><br />
georgette facings on winter hats<br />
the material is too thin for use in<br />
one-layer thicknesses and must be<br />
lined. The old georgette is j ust as<br />
good as the new for this purpose<br />
and saves materially in the cost <strong>of</strong><br />
the hat. If the old is not the d e-<br />
sired shade, get a package <strong>of</strong> dye<br />
and make it the_ shade you wish!<br />
It takes dye beautifully and—again<br />
at present prices—is quite worth<br />
thi trouble.<br />
Chiffons are more perishable and<br />
are not used to the extent <strong>of</strong> a few<br />
years ago but jf some scraps or<br />
remnants should be stickingaround<br />
in your old boxes the light colors<br />
may be cleaned by rubbing with<br />
magnesia and after the rubbing being<br />
rolled in tissue paper and laid<br />
away for several days. Then they<br />
are unwrapped, shaken well and<br />
pressed lightly with the iron.<br />
Perhaps you .will be interested<br />
in knowing how your old and<br />
broad beaver may be made smaller<br />
and so conform more nearly<br />
to present modes. Unthread your<br />
sewing machine and remove the<br />
bobbin. Set the stitch'to the finest<br />
possible stitch and put your hat<br />
under the needle, having first<br />
drawn a chalkline around the top<br />
<strong>of</strong> the brim to the desired width.<br />
This done, stitch around the brim<br />
twice, carefully following the<br />
chalkline and take the hat from<br />
the machine. Then, with the edge<br />
<strong>of</strong> the hat pressed firmly between<br />
the finger and thumb, bend the<br />
outer brim back and forth until it<br />
breaks away from the stitching.<br />
Never use scissors or knife as either<br />
will cut the fur and leave a rough,<br />
unsatisfactory edge. The edge<br />
that has been broken away from its moorings<br />
may be put away to be used as trimming<br />
on other hats. Make the design you<br />
desire, in the trimming, by outlining with<br />
chalk and following the same method on<br />
the machine as for the cutting <strong>of</strong> the brim.<br />
Straw braids are <strong>of</strong> such a variety that<br />
we will consider only those most commonly<br />
used. Any woman <strong>of</strong> today, who appears<br />
in public wearing a faded straw hat,<br />
should be quite put to shame for the hat<br />
dyes and enamels now on the market are<br />
so wonderful that she can have no excuse<br />
for her laxity. Straws clean well but if,<br />
by chance, they are too badly soiled to<br />
respond to the cleaning process, two coats<br />
<strong>of</strong> dye or enamel and—presto!—they are<br />
new again.<br />
If your last year's Panama looking much<br />
the worse for the wear? Wash—or scrub<br />
it rather—with tepid water and good<br />
white soap. The dirt will disappear very<br />
quickly. After the washing, the hat<br />
should be rinsed in tepid water and the<br />
crown stuffed with white paper to keep its<br />
shape arid. size. The stuffing <strong>of</strong> the crown<br />
is most necessary: for if this is not done the<br />
hat may shrink and become too small for<br />
the head. A good method, also, for the<br />
keeping <strong>of</strong> the exact head size is to sew a<br />
piece <strong>of</strong> wire on the inside <strong>of</strong> the crown<br />
before the washing, but even if this is done<br />
the paper stuffing must be used to support<br />
the crown. When this has been accomplished<br />
the hat is put on a flat surface and<br />
placed in the air (but not the sun) to dry.<br />
White.chip and white felt riats may be<br />
cleaned by being rubbed with magnesia<br />
and left to stand for several hours. When<br />
the powder is dusted <strong>of</strong>f, the hats will<br />
be wearable once again,.<br />
Leghorn may be scrubbed with corn<br />
meal and gasoline or with lemon and sulphur.<br />
For the first method: take a hanful<br />
<strong>of</strong> cornmeal and dampen with gasoline.<br />
Rub the mixture into the hat with a s<strong>of</strong>t<br />
cloth being careful that every part has<br />
been gone over. For the second method:<br />
saturate two tablespoonfuls <strong>of</strong> the sulphur<br />
with lemon juice arid rub into the hat.<br />
When dry, brush <strong>of</strong>f the sulphur and press<br />
with a damp cloth.<br />
Black straw may be sponged with a<br />
cloth saturated with alcohol. This removes<br />
all dust and leaves a clean surface.<br />

Park Zoo, New York<br />
Any <strong>of</strong> the light straws that have become<br />
too badly burned for cleaning should be<br />
brushed well and dyed a darker shade<br />
than the original for spots will show<br />
through the dye if the same shade is used.<br />
Black hats may be treated in the same<br />
manner. If a very high polish is desired,<br />
the enamel should'be used or a dye with a<br />
bright, instead <strong>of</strong> dull, finish. ,<br />
Felt hats may be steamed if they are in<br />
need <strong>of</strong> re-freshening. If they are bent or<br />
creased, the blemish may be removed by<br />
holding the spot over the teakettle spout<br />
until damp and then smoothing the felt<br />
between the fingers.<br />
Now that the ostrich feather has come<br />
into its own again we have the problem<br />
<strong>of</strong> cleaning and curling feathers, which is<br />
not a small one although it may be done at<br />
home, satisfactorily, if great pains is taken.<br />
If the feather is light and very much<br />
soiled it may be washed in tepid soap water<br />
—if it is a high grade feather. But most <strong>of</strong><br />
the home cleaning is done with either plain<br />
gasoline or gasoline and a handful <strong>of</strong> white<br />
flour as this method is safe. A large<br />
china bowl is used for the washing. Pour<br />
into it a pint <strong>of</strong> gasoline and, if desired,<br />
the flour may be added. Then use the<br />
tip's <strong>of</strong> the fingers to rub the flues <strong>of</strong> the<br />
feathers. The flues are the feathery parts<br />
on each side <strong>of</strong> the stem: Do not rub in<br />
the hands but press lightly with the-finger<br />
tips. Then pour clean gasoline into the<br />
bowl for, rinsing and after that is done and<br />
the feather is partly dry, roll the feather<br />
in cornstarch and let it lie for a short time.<br />
Then shake gently, to evaporate the gasoline<br />
and dispose <strong>of</strong> the extra cornstarch.<br />
Black or dark colored , feathers always<br />
should be cleaned in the gasoline alone as<br />
any particles <strong>of</strong> the flour or cornstarch<br />
which might persist in clinging would<br />
show."<br />
The curl may not come out to any great<br />
extent in the cleaning but the feather will<br />
always need trimming up. A sharp tool<br />
never should be used for curling. The best<br />
tool for this purpose is the back—or dull<br />
edge—<strong>of</strong> a-silver table knife. Do not<br />
start- the knife close to the stem <strong>of</strong> the<br />
feather but only curl the tip ends <strong>of</strong> the<br />
feather. Begin at the bottom and work<br />
upward, grasping small bunches <strong>of</strong> the<br />
feathers between the fineer and thumb<br />
and pulling gently, but firmly, over<br />
the back <strong>of</strong> the knife blade. After<br />
the feather has been gone over<br />
in this manner shake it and loose<br />
flues that have escaped the curling<br />
will make themselves known<br />
and may be curled.<br />
DAN McCARTY'S GLOR-<br />
IOUS LIE '<br />
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 343)<br />
ye—and give it to the b'y in the<br />
manger—it belongs to him, and—<br />
and say nothin' ixcipt that ye are<br />
Ronald's wife and stick to that<br />
with all your soul. 'Tis one <strong>of</strong><br />
the fortunes <strong>of</strong> war in a way. Renumber<br />
now! Ye become his wife<br />
before he wint to the war. Ye<br />
must be firm and,' beyond this, ye<br />
must be silent.. And if it should<br />
be that any come tryin' to destroy<br />
the good name that ye must cherish<br />
with care from now on—if<br />
there should I say, but I've a<br />
hunch there won't- be many in<br />
Typica so low down as to do it—<br />
ye will come very quietly and till<br />
me <strong>of</strong> it, and with the Lord's hilp<br />
I'll talk to thim a bit and mebby<br />
give thim a good swift kick or<br />
two, I dunno. Take up the b'y,<br />
Lily May—he's whimperin' for his<br />
mother—and we'll be goin' home."<br />
Little by little, as old Dan spoke,<br />
the girl's " shoulders straightened<br />
and the expression upon her worn<br />
face changed from the darkness <strong>of</strong><br />
despair to the light <strong>of</strong> new hope.<br />
As he finished and stood silently<br />
waiting, she threw her arms<br />
about his grizzled neck.<br />
"I—I can stand , ' f .—now—<br />
whatever happens," she sobbed.<br />
"God must have—kept you—<br />
there in the rain tonight—till I<br />
came."<br />
Dan gently loosed her hands<br />
from about his neck. "Come, Lily<br />
May," he said in a voice that<br />
shook queerly ; we 11 go on our way, yon<br />
and me, doin' the bist we can."<br />
They passed out into the storm, the girl<br />
holding the bundle tightly to her breast<br />
At the house <strong>of</strong> her father Dan left her,<br />
waiting to see the door opened and closed<br />
again , and then went to his own home<br />
where his daughter Mary, nodding before<br />
an open fire, awaited him.<br />
"You are late, father."<br />
"Yis, darlin', I had to cut a tunnel in the<br />
rain." Dan tossed the day's paper to the<br />
laughing girl and removed his coat. Then,<br />
sitting before the fire , he took <strong>of</strong>f his shoes<br />
and stretched out his feet to the warmth.<br />
A silence followed, broken only by the<br />
rustle <strong>of</strong> the paper in the girl's hands, the<br />
snapping <strong>of</strong> a match as Dan lighted his<br />
pipe, the muffled beat <strong>of</strong> the storm upon<br />
the windows and the ro<strong>of</strong>.<br />
Presently the girl sighed. "Here's another<br />
name we know in the casualty list,<br />
father; Ronald Dean—died from disease."<br />
"Yis," said old Dan looking hard at the<br />
fire , "I noticed it."
