prices for all articles, ono must plan
carefully if she is to meet the needs
of her family. The first thing to
do is to look for matorinls already
on hand. Millinery left overs nro

After you have selected material
that has possibilities, renovation may
make the material look like new.
TO STEAM:
Braids, soft velvet hats nnd straw
hats may bo steamed. Steam over
J spout of tea kcttlo and turn contin
uously and brush with a soft brush.
To steam velvets, pluce a hot jron
fiat side up. Lay a damp cloth over

up over the steaming cloth, moving

The farmers' tried to eliminate the

critical.
When practically every ono linil
