For White Croce. I
For white suedes, buckskins. kids}
and canvas shoes, use the followingI
dressing: One cupful white soap, one
teaspoontul of borax; add enough boil-
iug water to make a soft, runny ‘jelt‘.
then add 1 teaspoonful of- amnionla
and enough powdered sand soap to
make a thin paste, and shake it well.
or until it is a creamy mass. Suede
Ihoes’should be brushed with a stiff
brush before applying the paste; with
all materials or leathers use a flannel
cloth or a sponge. 'Apply with a ctr- -
cular motion, and leave the lather well
coated until it is dry; then dust off
‘ and polish. The suede should be rub
bed free of'the paste before they are
I quite dry, using a stiff brush and ctr
. cular strokes.
Black shoes should 1:: lather-ed with
harness soap, using the same process
‘ as with'the brown leather, after which
a French dressing may be applied, or
an ordinary dressing with a little.giy-,
cerine added is excellent. ‘ - l
l
Iloap Effective.
Never use dressings for brown, tan
and russet shoes. Use any white soap:
dampen a flannel cloth in soft water,
_ and Nb it on the soap until it is' plsty
with lather; have the shoes well dusto
ed (always use clean. soft brushes or
cloths); with the tethered flannel go
over the whole. shoe, rubbing the soiled
places with-a gentle ctrcnlir 9‘0“”;
now put on a thick clmn lather and let I
them stand for about tbreequarters of
an hour: then rub over with a clean
cloth and polish with a chamois pol~
isher. The action of soap upon leather
is superior to any dressing.
Potato Replaces Flour.
That we can use potato twt'q flour is
not surprising. for the food substance
j potato supplies most abundantly in
starch, and it is largely because of the
starch that they contain that the
world uses cereal grains as breadsluffs

Vgriaty of Ribbon.
Not all of the insclnating organdy
frocks are figured or embroidered.
One of the most. charming models
among the adethstylm is in a soft
shade of tan. trimmed only with a deep
Jointed collar of illet lace. The skirt 7
is gathered to the waist under a simple
girdle of ribbon. '
Paris says that frocks must be gir-
dled, and the French oouturieres are
fortifying the published word with plo-
turesqua examples.
Designers, everywhere seem to have ‘
succumbed completely to the peculiar!
fascination of ribbon and are using it,
not only for girdles, but for indescrib-i
ably beautiful sashes. Endless, ap-I
parently, is the variety of ribbons. both I
domestic and imported which are out
display in the best shops. Snome of,
the broad fancy ribbons are quite be—j
wildering in their gayety and ebauty.
A Few Situations.
Some of the articles that can bd

neesicurtainll, hearts for the dressing

candle shades. The glass candle-
sttcka in a dressing room are pleasing -
with little rosebud voile shades edged
with fine lace. Matinees. camisoles
and aprons are all pretty trimmed with
ribbon. . r
A sweet little hat for a wee maiden
can be made from flowered voile
pleated over a wire frame. All the
trimming it needs is a little lace edge
and a band and bow of pink or blue
satin ribbon around the crown.
Voila for Fancy Work. ‘
Volle.comea in such charming colon

these high priced days to waste a

printed on paisley backgrounds are all
attractive for fancy work. So when

many generations. Men, as well as
women. are engaged in the work, which
is done in the homes or in small shops
where they have a few apprentices, us
ually from three to ten, and a number
of skilled embroiders. The majority
of the workers are men who have been
trained as apprentices to produce the
