Attractive Spring Neck Ruffs and "Boas
By Dorothy Dale, i ; '. ' -f
TO KANT women, and especially to
. those past their flrat youth,- a
, boa or neck ruff la so becoming
that even after winter furs are
laid aside boas of tulle, lace, chif
fon or feathers, auch as oetrlch or mar
lbou, are adopted. Many of theae scarfs
can easily be made at home, tha two
inodela Illustrated being especially prao
tlcal, but acarf a- of maribou and oetrlch
feathers are also" very fashionable, and
can be had In the abopa at quite mod
era ta "prices.- : 1 " r .
There are. too, aoma very attractive
scarfs of soft lac laid over sheer allk,
with a veiling of chiffon, and bordered
by a narrow line of ostrich or maribou
or by a niching of little frills of lace
or silk.
For the fluffy neck ruches plain tulle
and the ring-dot net ar favorite ma
terlala, and. although fancy prices are
asked for these ruches -In the fashion
able millinery ahopa and large stores,
they can be made at home at a fraction
of tbe expenee. Such a ruche la aketched
In the drawing, tha model pictured ahow.
Ing a deep plaited ruff of brown tulle
mounted on a atlffened allk band, and
finished by allk Joopa and bowa in front

Another very pretty model waa made
of black ring-dot net, four deep pllssc
frllla being used, with another of tulle
next the face. - A cluster of black allk
popples with yellow centers waa tucked
among the tulle Jn the front, which was
finished with many ribbon loops and
enda of black velvet and net.
Another very old ruff waa also mada
of ring-dot net. each ruffle being bor
dered by aatln ribbon. On the ribbon
at tntervala were set little satin -covered
buttons, encircled by frllla of the nar
rowest Valenciennea edging.
The little ahoulder capea are also vary
much liked, the one shown In tha sketch
being made, of transparent black liberty
silk, finely plaited. The dgea of the
doublecap were ftnlahed by narrow
ruches, which also trimmed the "long
ends that reached below tbe - waist.
Theae niches were mad of sllk-gaus
ribbon. ; ' y-
Little ' capes of broadcloth, usually
with a touch of black somewhere about
them, are made up on the "Carrlck"
lines, and are very smart and becoming
for driving or for use in the country and
at the seaside. One very pretty model
made In the Carrlck style was of bright
cherry broadcloth, each of the three cir
cular capes being finished by a stitched
band of the same. Tha trimming con
alated of a ' email rounded collar of
black, ahowlng scanty touches of gold
braid, the lower points of the wrap also
showing rounded tabs of black velvet
How to Pack Household Belongings
' By Beatrice Carey, .
a T thla aeaaon of tha year it may
A, prove useful knowledge to many
. housekeepere to know how to
- properly pack household furni
ture, etc. Very few women nn-
deratand how to properly care for their
houaehold goods when moving, and. as
the services of professional packera
would be apt to prove a heavy expenee,
the following auggestions, if carefully
roi lowed, win be or service.
In moving from town house to coun
try place or from on city to another.
when goods go by freight, especial care
should ba taken, and although It would.
of course, be Impossible to crate or box
very large, heavy pieces, such as bu
reaus and sideboards, these may be
wrapped In soft paper, tied around with
heavy pieces of twine, although the
more valuable pieces of furniture would
be safer if orated. ' Old bedclothlng is
also very uaeful for wrapping about tha
finer pieoea of furniture. -
la packing goods to be atored It Is
the general practice to ua burlap for
wrapping the furniture. This, however,
la not to be recommended, aa tha bur
lap, having a coarse mean, allows a
great deal of dust and dirt to sift
through, and In consequence the furni
ture la found to be much soiled when
unpacked. Instead of tha burlap It la
better to use soft paper carefully tied
about the articlaa.
Never plaoe breakable plecea, such aa
mirrors, ptcturea and ao on, in dcawera
or chiffoniers, aa the moving men can
not sea what la In the drawers, and ao
will not be apt to take aa much care
aa la necessary In moving glass. Large
mirrors should be crated after protect
ing the faoa and frame with soft tissue
paper or cloth, and tha same method
should be adopted for large picture,
palntlnga, ate. .
In crating ' auch artiolea tha frames
must be faatened with cleata to the
boards, ae that they will not only be
stationary, but tha decorative edges of
the gold frames will not touch the pro
jecting box and be marred.
email ptcturea should be covered with
cheesecloth,' bound ; In excelsior and
packed in boxes. Tine plecea of cut
glass and expensive china ware need
special .care, and cannot be too carefully
packed. 'Each article ahould be lined
Inside and out with tissue paper to pra-i
vent scratches, then should be' . filled
with excelsior snd a pad of It wound
around the outside. Brown paper should
In turn be used aa a wrapper, tied se
curely in place with cord, and another
layer of excelsior placed over the piece
before It la put Into tha barrel will
make It practically aafe from Injury.
In putting china and glass in a bar
rel the heaviest pieces should go in
ths bottom. Of course, they - ar all
to be placed in layers, with plenty of
excelsior between. Barrels ar best to
nse In packing auch breakable articles,
aa they are more easily handled by the
movers than aquara boxea. Table china
of the ordinary sort need not be quite
so carefully packed. The cups and
vegetable dishes should be stuffed with
excelstor and put In the center of the
barrel, while the platea and aauoera and
flat pieces should be bound with excel
sior. Two or three plates, saucers or
such flat pieces can be bound together,
with padding between, ot course, . to
economise apace.
Curtains, carpets and ruga ahould be
rolled, putting pada of paper between
the . folda to keep the materials from
creasing. They should then be tied up
in burlap. To economise on space, pil
lows, bedding and table linen may be
put Into the drawers of the big piece
of furniture, these drawers afterward,
of course, being locked : or securely
Dound in place.
In moving tr short distance, from one
part of the city to another, the packing
need not be quite ao troublesome, as the
heavy pieoea of furniture need not 'be
crated and may be put Into the van
without any packing beyond a cover of
burlap. . .- . , ; !
Hints for Spring House Cleaning
. By Beatrice Carey. '
V ERB Is an excellent recipe for
H cleaning rugs, chenille, plush
covered couchea and furniture.
11 eto.: Bhave two and one half
bar of Ivory soap fine and boll
until It la dissolved in one and on half
quart of soft water. Add half a
pound of borax. . Boll 10 minutes
longer. . Steep three ounces of soap
bark in one quart of water for half an
hour and strain. Add on fourth pint
of aqua ammonia, put Into on quart of
cold water. Mix all wall together and
add enough water to make a good all
gallons. Soft water I preferred. Set
aside to cool and cover to keep clean.
When ready to uee, dust tha articles
woll and apply with a good, large bruah,
rubbing vigorously. Then wipe with a
cloth until quite dry. For doing large
ruga It la desirable to have two people
working one to follow up with the dry
cloth aa soon a a apace la rubbed. The
recipe Bella for (6 cent and. Is the
cheapest cleaner I have aver, bought
The entire recipe can be made for about
10 cent. It will be auffldent for
year. ..
A pretty. Inexpensive, yet simple and
sanitary method of treating old or un
sightly kitchen walla la to, first, paper
them in the usual manner; then, when
thoroughly dry, apply a thin coating of
whit varnish. Thla treatment renders
the paper Impervious to moisture, pre
serves the colors, and Is easily kept
clean. 1 It Is equally good for laundry
or nursery or any room much used, as
paper thus treated will last muoh
longer. i -. :, a
If faded upholstery Is to be restored,
the dust must first be well beaten out.
Then With a hard brush apply a strong
lather of Ivory soap and wash off with
clear, water. The fabrlo ahould then be
washed with alum water. Upon drying
the luster will ba restored to the colors.
For removing acratchea from furni
ture pulverised pumice atone will do the
work better - than anything alas. It
ahould ba rubbed on the aurfaee with a
aoft flannel rag, wet in crude or raw
Unseed oil. Rub briskly until the
acratchea dlaappear, and then apply Un
seed oil alone until tbe aurfaoe ahlnea,
Tha old-faahloned method of pouring
a solution of lye down a drain that has
become choked fall to. work In many
cases. If, instead of th lye, a aolutlon
6f oopparaa la used, it will be found
very much more satisfactory. To make
the solution dissolve a pound of cop
peraa in a gallon of boiling water. Use
when cold.
A feather brush Is better than a cloth;
for dusting gilded picture frame. ' I
