THE prolHem of keeping your wa~4» robe splc and span when traveling rr on a vacation, and at the same time not Increasing expenses material ly.

In the meantime you ar# minus ciiudps which may be iji'fh needed. If there ia space 1n trunk or large Kuit case to pack ■ tourist’s folding Ironing board, and an electric iron, you can do most of the work yourself, that Is If you are willing to expend the effort and take the precious mo ments away from •actual vacationing. If not try cold wa ter pressing to re in o v a wrinkles. Put a paper on a table or bed, aud over it lay two thicknesses of hand towel, or a bath towel. '-.ay the article to be pressed smooth ly on It, or in pleats according to the way the garment is made. With a damp piece of cloth (a clean hand kerchief or a face cloth will do), nib the wrinkle gently until it disappears. The moisture will do the work quick ly. Continue rubbing lightly until dry and smooth. Many wrinkles can be taken out in a few moments. Mussed places respond to this same treatment. Hang garments carefully on coat hangers being sure to have shoulders fitted smoothly over hangers. Laundering Handkerchief*. Handkerchiefs can be laundered well by washing In cold water first, and then in hot preferably. Stretch smooth on any hard smooth surface. Window panes offer just the right surfaces but it is unwise to ase them as they show from the outside, and objections will be raised. A mirror or the marble top of a wash stand or table, is ex cellent The porcelain slab back of ,a set wash bow) or the sidee of a bathtub—If you are so fortunate as to have a private b?th—any of these places supply good surfaces, i Stockings and wash gloves of sll ,kinds can' be kept spotlessly clean ■with very little labor.

Then arrange smooth and flat and put under a weight. If a book or magazine Is used for tha weight, be sure to cover It well with paper, and place a sufficient thickness of dry white cloth (a thickness of towel for Instance) over the gloves t» absorb any dampness. Never use any but as old or cheap book. It Is wise to have crinkly crepe nizht gowns, silk crepe of this sort can ba bought, and gowns made of It also.

I I I I Care of Rubber Plant When the lower leaves on a rubber plant turn yellow and drop off, it is Dot an indication that something is Wrong with the plant. Whenever a rub ber plant starts to send forth new top growth, It Invariably loses its lower leaves. The rubber plant requires a sofl made up of equal parts of soil, well totted manure and good garden loam. In winter it should be kept In a fairly sunny place where the temperature remains around 66 degrees. It must have a great deal of fresfc »ir and be thoroughly watered every da.v. The foliage should be sprayed ev ery week. Once In eighteen months is often enough to transplant the rubber plant. Embroidered Napery White tablecloths of wide plain linen without the satin finish some times today have beautiful embroidery, worked for borders, and center pieces. A late whim is to have cross stitch borders. Work It in white on heavy round thread linen counting th# threads as in eross-stitch canvas. Fcr a small luncheon cloth one border •* sufficient, although three lend mor« distinction. i MR.
