“But the sun will soon be out warm

“Huh,” answered Hop harshly, “walt,

“Oh, no, 1 won't,” sald Chirp cheer-
fully. “Folks are always careful not
to harm me. They like to have me

the nicest of time singing to a
young couple who were envying their
neighbor.
“1 sang and sang until they forgot
to look the street at

NAME that belongs almost out-

It is generally regarded as French,
though In popular usage it has a dis

it among feminine
names, and it Is not possible to trace
its evolution,
Consuella first gained fame In the
time of George Sands (Madame
Budevant). In her novels “Consuela”
and “La Comtesse de Rudolstadt,” the
heroine was a Spanish singer whose
noble purity was sustained amidst
temptations and disillusions. Consuel-

phpularity which accompanied literary
names in England.

Simple Ways to Remove
Stains From Fabrics
Blooa stains may be removed from
fabric by soaking first In cold water
and salt, then washing In tepld water
with soap, or in case of bad stains by
an application of peroxide of hydro
gen.
fodine stains may be sonked In a
weak solution of carbolic acid and wa-
ter or in diluted ammonia water, and
afterward washed out with tepld wa-
ter and no soap.
Tea, coffee and fruit stains on linen
can usually be removed by pouring
bolling water over the stains, If this
falls, spread the spot over a bowl full
of steaming hot water and rub it with
a solution of oxalic acid. Then rinse
in diluted ammonia water and finally
in clear warm water,
jlue stains may be removed with
vinegnr.
Iron rust should be treated with
lemon Jjulce and salt. Dampen the
stain with hot water, apply a coating
of salt and wet it with lemon juice.
Place In the sun. Repeat the process
till the stain starts to fade, then rins»
in ammonia solution, then in clear wa.
ter.
