Chiffon and Lace ' Are
Rage at Paint Beach
u.
Printed chiffon and colored lace are
popular in the south for frocks which
do not pretend to be Sor sports wear.
Black and white prints, or white
printed with “mountain haze” are eepe
clally favored.
Nearly all chiffon frocks are lace
trimmed or pleated. When combined
with lace they are simply draped.
Pleated, they are marvels of cascading’
drapes and panels.
‘Mountain haze," with its kindred
shades of lavender,, heliotrope and or
chid, is more seen than any other
color.
All-white and black-and-white are
worn for all occasions by many smartly
dressed women. 1

Suggestions
HELPS FISH FLAVOR
You will improve the flavor of fish
just cause for offense; and may they
if you sprinkle a little salt in the fkt
in which it is fried.
IN CANDY MAKING
When making candv, if you will aid
a tablespoon of cornstarch to every
two cups of sugar, you will find the
result greatly improved from the point
of texture, creaminess and looks.
TO SAVE ENAMELWARE
Put your new enamelware saucepan
in a pan of warm water and allow the j
water to come to a boil, then cool the j
pan. Vessels treated this way usually]
last much longer before burning $r j
cracking. 1
TOUGHENS THE SPLINTS
Take core of your broom and make j
it give you longer service. Each week j
dip the broom into boiling water and |
then into cold.**- This makes the splints i
tough and durable. !
CLEAN IT WELL
Never use a brass kettle for cooking I
until it has been thoroughly cleaned j
with vinegar and salt inside and out. j
it ^polishes glass
Wash mirrors and windows by rub
bing them with a chamois skin wrung
out of warm water, and dry with a
piece of dry chamois skin.
REMOVES BURNED SPOTS
To clean enamel or granite utensils I
in which food has been burned fill
them with cold water and add. a piece
of washing soda the size of an egg.
Heat to the boiling point, the'n wash in
the usual manner and the burned spots I
will be easily cleaned. i
WATER AND MILK
Sometimes after washing the bristles
of a hairbrush seem flabby. Stiffen
them by dipping in equal parts of(l wa
ter and milk and drying before the
fire.

TEXAS COMPANY WILL
SOON LOCATE STATION
Secretary Moore Has Conference
With Oil Syndicate Officials
In New York.
Prospects for the early conversion of
the property at the Carolina shipyard
into an oil distribution station by the
Texas Oil company, looks exceedingly
bright to Louis T. Moore, secretary of
the chamber of commerce, who has
just returned from New York where he
had a conference with high officials of
the Texas company relative to the utili
zation of the site which they purchased
at this port some time ago.
Secretary Moore left here several
days ago for northern points in inter
est of several prospective manufac
turing enterprises for Wilmington, and
while in New York called at the office
of the Texas Oil company to confer
with the officials of that concern as to
their plans for establishing a, state
oil distributing plant here on the river
front property they now own.
Secretary Moore was given an audi
ence with a high official of the com
pany, and was assured by him 'that
when the Texas company purchased the
site at Wilmington it fully recognized
the importance of the local port as tin
logical point for the establishment of
oil storage terminals from which their
products could be distributed by rail
to any North Carolina point. He fur
ther assured Secretary Moore that
something definite regarding the im
provement of the property here should
be forthcoming in the near future.
It is the plan of the Texas company
to shin to Wilmington in large tank
steamers cargoes of oil products from
their refineries, store it in large tanks,
and distribute It by carloads to interi
or points In the state. The establish
ment of such a plant will necessitate
the investment of a large sum of money,
and the employment of a considerable
force of men.
