Ways of Keepng Gerinenls Dainty
and Freth.
How many wonieti kn-w how to
prc-terve sweet and clean their sum
mer' drefttes, shoe-, ccrscts and so on?
Nt niunjj, I fancy.
As scon as the corset Is taken off it
should be sprinkled with peroxide of
hydiogen and alIowd to !le ln the
sun and air for several hours. Tlibbed
corsets are more iillUult to manage,
but at no time rhould they Ik.- rolled
up nor flung in a heap into some tight
shut diawer.
Thee fhould be an alteration of
corsets, to do away with (the putting
on of the yame cne eech eiay, ar-d two
or throe inexpenlve ones tteated this
way will help to make the summer en
durable tn spite of the sun, suggests
a woman in the Chicago-Times Her
ald. Shoes, if they are high, should, when
taken off, ho placed, lnners out, e n the
window rill or in some breery place
to get th sun, and sir. The tops
shcndl be tuintel back, and th air al
lowed to circulate In the crevices and
Irto the sole.-s as far as it possibly
can- Hi's will not only preserve the
shape and contour of the shoe, but It
will belt1 to keep it from getting
"leatbeiy." Shoes are porous skin
themselves and wonderfully suscept
ible to Influence of climate and h-?at.
Blouse wadtts enould have th-t
rhl;l's t'ppei out at on;e aft r re
moving from the body, and lh y should
be sponged with alcohol nnd water
and hung in the air to dry. The eKcves
of the waist should be turned wron
aide out a dnallowcd to air at si one
screen near a draUtrht, and not put on
again for some days.
A syptem or rotation will bo found
convenient for such fabrics as ere J.a
ble to be hurt by the absorption ' of
perppiraticn and should be sparingly
treated cn particularly hot days.
A sprinkle of oiris root In thi lining
cf a drerss, to be shaken out befcre the
dress Is worn again, will be found an
excellent thing.
Hibbons should be tolled up imme
diately when taken off the neck and
wairt, and if treated this way will
last a great deal longer and look, a
great deal daintier
Care of the skirt Is most important
Skirts should have loops swed In un
der the tuffle, where-the h-els of the
boots or sllpier will, not catch, and
thy should he hunn upsi-i down ev
ery night, or as soon as they are t&icen
off. If they are trimmed with long
farthingale flounces the flounce . will
have to be carefully pinned to the
foundation, and they will, by hanging
twelve hruiis in the epioflte direction
ftom which they are worn, ngtln
some of their original freshness and
charm. i
Hats will retain their spiuceness and
e'egance if catefudy jlfwd In their
own box. after Mowing the cbinV-n and
laying the feathers several tims over
thi fingers in the direction they aie
disposed to lean The tibbons' hafts
can also be straightened and the hat
w'H le ready for use at t ree.
Hose fhoull be filled with crumpled
tit sue paper and hung ln pair in the
most excluded window, to let the air
blow through the-m.
Gloves must be blown up by tha
breath immediately after sPppimf
from the hand, then filled with a light
shake of glove powder and laid away,
unfolded, and not palm to palm, but
separately, in tissue ii.r.
Underclothes should be changed
every day, and in warm weather of tett
er, but they nee-1 not be. washed. Th-y
should be airod on a line If conveni
ent, or ovet chair backs and in place
where they will not be in the way.
