If ?lives are lined, it is better to ?hem in strung fumes of am* y until after other substances have been tried ; but for certain stains prompt application of boiling water poured from a teakettle held at a height of three or four feet above the stain is very effective. This Is a good method ; to use on white or fast-colored mate rial for most fresh fruit stains when , still moist. Peach and berry stains t usually respond well to this treatment. I The stained material should be stretched over a bowl or other vessel and the boiling water poured upon It from a height sufficient for the water to strike the stain with some force. I With some stains, especially those In j which fruit pulp Is present, a little ; rubbing alternated with applications of boiling water is helpful. A stain remaining after this treatment fre quently can be bleached by hanging the jvet material In the sun to dry. The stains of cooked . fruits are somewhat different In character from those of fresh fruit and are usually easier to remove. Ordinary laundering is often all that is necessary. , The boiling water treatment can be tried for stains made by the dark red and purple fruits and berries, such as cranberries and black raspberries Blancmange Is Flavored Milk With Cornstarch (Prepared by the United State* Department of Agriculture) Blancmange Is practically flavored milk jellied with cornstarch, arrow root, Irish moss, or some similar ma terial When gelatin Is used, without eggs, to stiffen the milk, the result is sometimes called "Ivory" or "velvet" pudding. A blancmange or Ivory pud ding Into which egg whites have been folded Is often called a "snow" pud ding. All of these puddings are ex cellent served alone, with plain or whipped cream, or with stewed or 'crushed fresh fruit poured over them. Maple sirup and honey are good when other sauces are not in hand.

Ln another saucepan melt tlve brown sugar with the butter until It Is waxy, but not caramelized. Add this to the cornstarch mixture and add salt and vanilla. Cool, and serve with cream. Proportions of Food It Is well to kn<ow what proportions to use of the 'food* In each of the five groups, the United States Department of Agriculture points out As a rule, the diet will be sufficiently bulky and flavorful and will furnish the right pro portions of starch, fat, and sugar for the taste of most people If the vege tables and fruits furnish about 20 per cent of the fuel ; , the milk, meat, egg s, and similar foods, 20 per cent;, the cereal foods, 30 per cent; sweets, 10 per cent; and fats and fat foods, 20 per cent. A diet made up on these proportions will also furnish satisfac tory kinds and amounts of protein, mineral substances, and vitamins. When whipping cream cover the top of the bowl with white wrapping paper to keep the cream from spattering. Make a hole In the center for the beater and tuck the corners of the paper under the bowl. * ? ?

SMART SHOES OF PLIANT KID IN THOSE 'sunny lands down on the Gu.ljf'Of Mexico and along the Atlan tic to beyond the West hidles, spring has already advanced more than half way, toward summer. And there to welcome It and frolic with it, are troops of tourists from everywhere. They Include many fashionables from the frigid North, gay butterflies decked out In lovely spring finery, and the vital question before the house is ? what ure tliey wearing? They gather, to see and be seen, at the fashionable rendezvous In Palm Peach. Miami, Havana and many other places. If we were to run in upon them today at afternoon 1 tea, say In the coconut grove at Palm Beach, it is certain the first thing to arrest our eyes would be the millinery that blos soms In that delectable place. A great name Is signed to the three hats atvthe top of the group. At the Women have gown so exacting In j the matter of their footwear thai I the art of making shoes has be come a very fine art Indeed. Beauty of line, style and color are as Impor tant now In shoes as they are In hats and, in addition, shoes must fit "like a glove." To make them come up to standards that constantly advance In the diversity of types required by women of the day, designers and manufacturers spare neither them selves nor expense and the exquisite footwear they have launched for spring proves their efforts worth wlille. There is nothing bizarre about the new styles ? they ure conservative, but it would be inaccurate to describe them ns simple, although they have been so described. This is a compli ment to theif designers, whose fine and intricate work results in such clean-cut lines that the first Impres Some Contributions for Spring. left a combination of straw and geor gette Is trimmed with a large wheel made of the georgette and tiny flow ers and there Is a broad collar of georgette about the crown. One can imagine the graceful and gracious hat in any of the season's delightful col ors, as fuchsia, pervenche blue, gold, light green, alcazar red or soft yel low. The hat at the top Is of halr brald and owes Its commanding posi tion to the very high crown topp^l with a cluster of flowers. The up lyrolling brim is covered with varicol ored little blossoms set on separately. At the right, one of the new turbans with wide coronet Is made of silk. Narrow braid Is applied to the coronet In a floral pattern. Below this a love ly picture hat In straw Is shown, with wide facing of silk. The large flat flowers nt the front are of ribbon y , slon Is that of simplicity. The game thing Is true in millinery and frocks. On account of Its pliancy, kid has been j chosen for the smart and graceful spring styles in shoes which so adroit ly flatter the feet. Shoes, like bats, must "do something" for their wear ers ? more is required of them than merely to cover the feet. Since wom en Insist on smartness and style, and , take comfort for granted, manufac- J turers have turned to kid skin in or- ? der that the three factors of success , uiay be combined. A survey of the best shops reveals j golden brown, beige, gray and, of j course, black, to be the most popular | colors. There are many shoes in which : two colors are combined, as black and beige or black and brown. Occasion- 1 ally one sees the introduction of a higher color, as strong blue with black, 1 centered with beads. Think of It In tan, with facing and trimming of al cazar. No group would be complete without a sports model and at. the left we have one of those that belongs to the semi-sports class. It Is made of a novelty fabric and faced with plain silk and one may imagine It in many beautiful color combinations, as pur ple and cerise, orange and red, green and brown, navy and red, and so on. Women were never more beautifully hatted than they are, or soon will be, this spring. Colors and shapes are flattering and there is great diversity in styles, but this group is made up of important and dominating types. Low Heels Fashion Low heels on one's slippers today are not Indicative of low tastes. Some of the smartest of the evening pumps and sandals feature Cuban heels of moderate height rather than the Louis XV type. Charming Gown Blue taffeta with large overplalds of white makes a charming gown when collar and cuffs of white ermfne are added. Smart and Distinguished Shoes. bat It is sparingly used In dressj types. The merging of one color Into another chows an exquisite craftsman ship. A study of the footwear shown here will give anyone an accurate Idea of fashionable types in kid shoes for spring. Sheer hose In tan, cocoa and "nude" shades, as well as hose to match gray, beige, tan or brown frocks, are fash ionable. When the weather Is too jcold to wear these thin stockings safely women wear fine bose of angora wool under them. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (?. 102S, Western Newspaper Union.)

It's no trick at all to mix up a bit of batter, heat the waffle iron and sup ply a hungry family with this delicious, wholesome food. The reason self-rising flour makes such good waffles is be cause the pure rising ingredients (the kind used in the best phosphate baking powder) are already mixed in pure soft wheat flour-Pmst enough to make the waffle batter puff up light and fluffy. This means that you can't go wrong on your mixing. For this reason self-rising flour is the ideal flour to use for biscuits, muffins, pastries and cakes.
