' Dear Madam-rWould jou kindly nn swer In tho Woman's nxchango the following: First. Is Harold Lockwood, the movie star, dead as reported of Influenza'.' Second. Wnat will lako a grcaso stain out of a poplin skirt? Third, Wnat will prevent roughness and chapping ot tne hands f n. a m. First. Harold Lockwood did actually die of influenza and the pneumonia that followed It. Second. Draw a ring ot French chalk around the stain to keep tho grease from tprcadlng and then sponge with a llttlo ether Use a clean cloth nnd work from the Inside out to prevent the form tng of a circle Kther Is dangerous to use, ns It is Inflammable, If you prefer ono of the commercial stain removers In tho drug store, you can get one that Is notilnflaminahle. A reader recently rec ommended taking out grease stains with a mixture of one pnrt alcohol, one part chloroform anil one pan nenzinr, druggist would put this up for jou. It Is also intiammaDie. Third To keep the hands from chap, ping and getting rough, dry them per fectly after washing liven the brrath of cold air from a window will chap most hands. Keep the hands warm when ou are out, for warm, dry hands never oiap Put some sort of a sooth ing lotion on vour hands before going to bed. It will Improve the good work of tho lotion to pull on an old pair of gloves and wear them all night. Adventures With a Purse SPBING days sort of make you want to put the old winter coat In cam phor balls, don't they? But, of course that Ib speaking only figuratively, for tvery one knows that nowadnjs no ono has to wrap things up In camphor balls Sho uses a specially prepared moth proof bng, which prevents rolling coats nnd suits In wrinkly balls, but which protect them Just the same. "Hut," you may object, "those bags arc nice, only thoy arc right expensive." Not neces sarily, I saw sonic today for ten cents. They aro mothproof, and aro long enough to hold yours or his coat without folding It. Theso bags are remarkably convenient. IM x c MAY" be peculiar most of us nre, ou know but I had rather buy used books, particularly If they are Just the lighter fiction books, than brnnd new ones I doubt not that the matter of price has tomethlng to do with It, but then, too, I like tho red look they have, nnd sometimes, If It Is a particularly good book, I like to wonder about thoso who havo read It before me. Have they loved It as I havo? Be which as It may, If jou want some books to read, stop and see the rollcctlon which ono of the shops has for thirty cents ench, or four for $1 10. The day I was thero I saw Mich names as Atherton, Sinclair, Bur ton II. Stevenson, nnd a host of others. You might be able to pick up tho very book ou have been looking for for some time and at such a small cost! WHEN you can find really dainty, nice-looking combination Milts for $1, It hardly seems worth while to make them, does It? Theso combinations were originally priced at slightly over 1.50, but prices have been lowered. The top part has a bit of hemstitching and feather stitching In pale pink or blue, nnd the lower part Is fashioned like the Increasingly popular bloomers. These combinations nre well worth seeing If ypu need a couple of suits for every day wear.
