Kindly plve recipe for elderberry wine. MRS. T. K. Recipes to making elderberry wine were given in The Oregonian July 25. I hope you saw them. PORTLAND, July 19. I am wondering if you can s'isgest an easy and effective way to keep white enamel woodwork clean, espe cially in the kitchen. We burn ras and the walls and woodwork seem to suffer from that, too. Thanking you. SUBSCRIBER. If wiping with a cloth wrung as dry as possible out of hot water, followed by dry rubbing does not succeed with your woodwork, you might use finely sifted whiting mixed to a cream. Rub on with one damp cloth, take off wita another damp cloth and polish with, a dry cloth, doing a little of the surface at a time. A tablespoon of ammonia in a gallon of water will make the cleaning easier if the paint work seems greasy, and yet will riot be strong enough to cut the surface. One of the commercial cleansers that comes both In cake and powdered form Is sometimes 'easier to use than whit ing, but It costs a little more. The dry rubbing restores the gloss to the sur face and helps it to keep clean longer. Powdered pumice or tripoli are also sometimes useful for enamel finishes. Do not use pressure enough to cause the powdered cleanser to cut the fin ish. .A little blueing in the cleaning water is sometimes helpful in counter acting the yellowing due to gas. nAn, . ."T, T ..1 .. 11 Tl-1 . 1 ......

The model pic tured here, for Autumn golfing, is of soldat blue knitted wool fabric, the texture being so fine and close that a woven material is closely approximated. The gored flare skirt and loose belted Jacket are most comfortable for an active game like golf and patch pock ets and belt add a snappy touch to the coat. Even the "can is of knitted sol dat blue' fabric, with a saucy worsted DOmDon at one side. Tan golfing Doots and blue and white checked golfing stockings accompany the suit. For a cool October day on the links this trolf costume of light-weight an gora mixture is especially well adapted and the color a sort rosei win oe oe lightful against the Autumn landscape. The skirt buttons from belt to hem- and the rather long coat, with its low belt, shows the new, modish lines for Fall. A touch of dainty freshness Is added by the wide starched collar, with Its black silk tie. and this golfing maid wears the conventional tan calf boots and gauntlet gloves, suitable for cool days, together with a new felt sport hat trimmed with a pugarree of deep rose pussy willow silk. The real tennis player wears raiment that accords with her chosen sport This raiment includes a skirt and loose blouse of washable material for tennis ts a warm weather game and loses its charm when the temperature becomes cool and a warm coat that may be slipped on after the strenuous sport, which puts one all In a glow. The well-dressed tennis enthusiast wears a simple wash skirt of white pique and a loose shirt of handker chief linen with a starched pique col lar. The coat of angora wool is corn flower blue in color and has the simple, sporty lines preferred now for country wear. Though buttoned boots may be worn through the street with such a costume, they must be exchanged for rubber-soled tennis shoes before one steps upon the courts. please give me the address of a reasonable yet reliable hairdresser who can make a wig ior.a uoii out i suiuuhir.. 1 iwrs a n n. r ar.a,,, nr ST 1 V A i i;l.IlllVb 0G,l -J - - , .

Before cut ting out the neck, trace the rounded line with pencil and finish it off with buttonholing in white. The edges of jacket and belt are traced and button holed in similar manner before being cut out of the linen. This stays the edge, and if the buttonholing is done closely, will make a firm finish. The cuffs and collar are finished in the same way and attached to the jacket and tie ends of the sleeves have frills of pleated' white net. The embroidered motifs on frock and bolero, and the buttonholing also, should be done with heavy embroidery cotton, the bolder the effect, the smarter will be the frock.

Bake in brick-shaped tins in a steady oven, covering the cake with paper for the first 20 minutes of the baking. The loaf should be done In half an hour. Caring for Skin in Summer time Is Important. Reasons for Bathing and Fresh Air Being; Eaaentlel Told By Appli cation of Cream Before Dip Com plexion Saved From Defects. ONE of the most important duties of Summer is that of caring for the skin. Tha skin is Indeed a "health indicator." It quickly reflects any trouble of the various organs within the body. ' It is well to remember that one of the chief functions of the skin is excre tion. It allows certain poisonous sub stances to pass through it by means of the sweat glands in perspiration. To aid the skin in this task we should take into the body only pure, health-producing food and plenty of drinking water; cleanse every portion of the skin daily with soap and water, and stimulate the glands and circula tion by rubbing briskly each day with a coarse towel or brush and a moder ate amount of free perspiration. The skin is also for breathing pur poses. A certain amount of oxygen is absorbed in this way. Animals coat ed with varnish or other preparations that exclude air soon died after the application. since the respiration through the skin was shut off. as was also the discharge of poisons through the skin. Science has proven in many ways the importance of keeping the skin cleansed and stimulated. To ac complish proper breathing through the skin daily exercise, must be taken out of doors, and fresh air must be had In the home, office and sleeping room, to give the pores plenty or oxygen. The principal function of the skin Is to protect against wear and tear the thA hnrlv beneath it. BUliei . . - It la an armor plate, -and -unbroken. It wards off dangerous germs, poisons and matters that would otherwise quickly infect the body with their poisons. It is important, therefore, to guard against needless damage to the skin. Chafing and excessive sunborn that destroys the texture are not bene ficial. Before going in for sea bath ing where the skin is first treated to salt bath and then cooked dry "neath the hot sun rays until it is blistered off, protect it from such damage by rubbing cold cream over the face be fore you dip into the ocean. The skin's functions and its structure alike are delicate. Nature gets rid of old cuticle as quickly as it can be spared, and your daily care of the akin will remove the debris: but when you try any form of wholesale skinning you are abusing alike the cutaneous and sensory sys tems and creating a condition that in vites enlarged pores that in the future may become clogged and encrusted with waste materials they can no longer rid themselves of with their former efficiency. Soap, water, cold cream, a little benzoin as a stimulant and protection to slight wounds (ap--plied direct) and a good toilet water Is all that is required to keep the skin wholesome if bodily conditions are looked after. Madame Mode Says: Self-colored and dull gold soutache are used in carrying out the military effects of coats. Dull gold and metal soutache em broidery are being used on chic tai lored costumes. Revers and waistcoats of linen, striped or plain, are seen in the new white serge jackets. Grass linen blouses have twine dec oration and are worn with sand-colored covert skirts. High stand-up ruffles of tulle and neck ruchings of lace are among the revivals in neckwear. Some of the silk dresses have the long peasant blouse belted and they are high in the collar. Some of the best Paris dressmakers are cutting their blouses low in th neck round or square. There has been a tremendous swing from the tube-like skirt to the pic turesque skirt that billows. Heaviest and Lightest AVoods. Exchange. Both the heaviest and lightest woods grow in the United States, the former being Florida ironwood and the latter the so-called cork of Southwestern Mis souri.

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINTS To whiten and beautify the com plexion permanently we have found no better preparation than a lotion made by dissolving four ounces of spur max in one-half pint hot water, then adding two teaspoonfuls glycerin. This removes any pimples, shiny, muddy or sallow appearance, and will make any one's skin clear, smooth and velvety. It dees not show or rub off like pow der; in fact, it seems a part of the skin; and for removing tan and freck les is unequaled. It is necessary to shampoo more frequently in the warmer weather be cause of excessive dust, and the fact that the head perspires more and is usually more exposed to the weather. The easiest-to-use and quickest-drying shampoo that we can recommend to our readers- can be prepared very cheaply by dissolving a teaspoonful of canthrox, obtained from your druggist, in a cup of hot water. This rubbed into the scalp creates a thick lather, soothing and cooling in Its action and very beneficial to scalp and hair. After rinsing the scalp is fresh and clean and the hair dries quickly and evenly and takes on a bright luster and soft, fluf flness that makes it seem very heavy. Adv.- . 4
