RAISING silk hosiery to a use
ful and beautiful old age is
every woman's business these
days, when everybody wears them
and their high cost still remains an
item which in any other age would
forbid their io general use. But
. ' where's the one to throw the first
f stone at this seeming extravagance
when unauestionablv a silk stocking
is to the foot and ankle what lines
;iti a dress are to the figure?
How to make them last, so that
.their work of beautifying-may go
on indefinitely?
First, then, you should know that
your silk stockings are the snob
"ruembers of the family wash, and
their aloofness should be encour
; aged. What is good for the rest of
'the wash may be death to your silk
; stockings. A separate washday,
when your undivided attention may
"be given them, is recommended;
otherwise" they are apt to suffer.--rt
How to Wash Silk Stockings.
y! You should not-soak white or
i-i j -:it. . 9. TV., Un.AA
X I bo washed out quickly in' warm wa
'i . , , -.i .t
, rinsed well in clear water. Then
put them in a coarse towel and
J wring them out as dry as possible
Jbefore hanging up to dry. And do
not hang them in the sun to dry.
Neither should you iron them. The
j same- recipe may dc uscu iur wu
1 ing silk gloves as well.
)l If you follow these instructions
jyour colored . and white stockings
-will never fade, nor yellow, nor spot,
;nd they will dry quickly,.
" A smart trick with black silk
'j stockings to prolong the life of them
,is to soak them over' night in cold
f water before wearing them, the first
', time. f '
; Again, wash them out after each
wearing. A light wash and rinsing
is all that is necessary.
" The Act of Donning.
In the daily dressing of the foot
the work of saving stockiugs may
go on. The Jacob's ladder, which is
;.the beginning of the end of hosiery,
; k often caused by the wrong way
of slipping the stocking on.
You .should not sit down with
stocking held at full length and work
your foot into it. If you do, your big
; toe or some rough epidermis on
your foot will jab the tender silken
, threads, loosen one, and start it on
a marathon run impossible to eaten
! up with.
, Instead, somewhat the same prin
ciple as putting on a glove is re
' quired to avoid trouble.
' First you "boot the stocking," the
-. official way of expressing the act of
It donning stockings to preserve them.
Slip the thumbs inside the top of
..the stocking and gather it nimbly
i with the fingers right clown to tne
. t6e, holding the gathering and
stretching it slightly at ankle and
toe to allow the foot to slip right
Jnto it without running against the
leg part of the stocking. Hold the
'. gathering until the toe is in place,
;and then gradually kosen the gath
ering as the foot requires.
Other Run Preventions. '
The double welt at the top of the
; Jlk stocking is there to fasten gar
ners to. Fasten them below and
T you will have a run in no time.
'Also, get the garter straight with
the weave of the stockings.
And get the seam at back straight
) in the middle of the back of the leg
1 or you will have an untidy and some
times disfiguring line.
A protection some women take is
ito sew over the toe of the stocking
,, a piece of narrow, fine tape to keep
Ithe toe from breaking through. It
is not only the hole that results and
(makes trouble, but with silk stock
" ings, when broken in any place, the
trouble extends in runs.
Acain. vou may reinforce the toe
ti a Aar'ma rross stitch. At the heel,
' of course, this cannot be done. But a
, saving trick at heels is to paste a
' t'nv piece of velvet inside the shoe
.heel to prevent the friction from low
, shoes. Many of the good stockings
carry reinforced heels to take care
Tot tms iriction.
Shoe and Stocking Sires.
Buying hosiery of the right size is
' important. Too short stockings will
- of the toes, too.
; It you wear a 2. 2Yi. or 3 shoe you
'shsuld buy an 8'A stocking; 35 or
4 shoe, size 9 in stockings; S. S'-S, or
f 6 shoe calls for 9Ji stocking; 6 or
7 calls for No. 10 size stockings; for
larger feet there are 10 size stock
ings and what are called outside sizes
for heavy women are made to corre
spond with the shoe size, but have
lareer calf and knee.
I 'ihe seamed stocking is a more
I shapely stocking. It fits more snug-
ly around the ankle. The seamless
hosiery is made as large at the ankle
as at luc tui uu is auiit'ij fi&ssvu
into shape over a board, which ex
plains1 why it, wrinkles around the
ankles after wearing and washing.
"A Stitch in Time.H
About the proverbial stitch in time
you need no word of advice from me.
But maybe you do not know that at
the majority of the stocking depart
ments of the big stores women are
employed to darn and mend, and
with a fine crochet needle and silk
thread they can repair a run so
cleverly you can hardly detect it. If
you can handle a crochet needle you
may save on this mending feature.
Perpendicular stripes lend a cer
tain slimnessUo legs and ankles;
lace and ornate patterned stockings
require a perfect ankle beneath them,
and even then should be worn only
on the occasion appropriate, which
is not on shopping expeditions nor
at business.
Black stockings, which nowadays
are good form with any colored
shoe, are the sure and safe and best
bet for a foot and leg and ankle
that cannot be entered in the "slim"
race.
Cakes for Kiddies.
Cakes good for the kaddies, and
easy to make, are:
Spiced Oatmeal Cakes.
Vi cups flower.
Yt cup cooked oatmeal
54 cup sugar.
cup raisins.
l,i cup molasses.
teaspoon soda. .
Yi teaspoon baking powder.
Yz teaspoon cinnamon.
3 tablespoons fat.
. Heat the molasses and fat to boil
ng. Mix with all the other materials.
Bake in muffin pans for 30 minutes.
This makes 12 cakes.

'White' Meat Best
For Warm
Days
In nlanninor the dinner for. the
summer menu the so-called "white
meats" lamb and veal should have
preference over beef and mutton.
What a few months ago was known
as spring lamb is now in its prime,
and a forequarter, stuffed, rolled and
baked, will be found delicious.
To give it quite an epicurean
taste and one that is different have
the butcher remove the bone and rub
over the cavity with a cut clove of
garlic. Then fill with a savory bread
stuffing and sew up the vent. This
cut of lamb costs less than the leg,
and is, I think, more tender and
juicy.
Serve with tlie lamb crisply
browned potatoes baked with the
meat and a mint same or jelly, ac
cording to your individual prefer
ence. If the latter is selected, try
making it with appK1 iuice instead of
water. The combination of flavors
is particularly good.
Apple Mint Jelly.
Soak one-quarter of a package of
gelatine in a quarter of a cup of
strained apple juice. Boil together
for five minutes one cupful of sugar,
three-quarters of a cupful of vinegar
and a quarter of a cupful of apple
juice. Add the softened gelatine, one
quarter of a teaspooitful each of salt
and paprika and three-quarters of a
cupful of bruised mint leaves. Let
stand over hot water for ten minutes,
tint with a little green coloring
matter and strain into a mould. Chill
on the ice before serving.
